you think attention is behaving inflationary?

since attention is treated like a currency in a monetized internet and the money is inflationary on it's own, i would wonder if the inflation from the money is infecting something that in it's own would not necessarily behave inflationary (as in getting more and more worthless as time progresses). human life is finite, maybe this forces attention to increase in value the older someone gets. i'd call that deflation.

human attention; the thing youtube says it sells to advertisers when you ask the company behind it how it got all the money…

is human attention worth more today or worth less today when you compare it to 5 years ago?

when you try to use money as a measure to answer this, you will get two numbers and i expect one to be higher then the other. but this might not be wise to do because just because something costs more money, it does not mean it is more valuable. that difference might be measuring nothing but unimportant predictable boring waves inside the ocean that is the monetary system and not represent any actual value whatsoever.

sesame paste aka tahin aka tahini Anonymage 12/27/25 (Sat) 16:43:17 No.322610 [Reply]

happy new year and all of that.

treat yourself to some sesame paste if you never head any. i regret learning about this so late, i can't help but want to warn others on not missing out on this goodness. it is just one ingredient crushed industrially into paste: sesame seeds.

when you buy it in the store it is separated and the separation is strong. when you stick a spoon in and try to stir, the bottom is so strong that the spoon can not stir. and you have to shake it and keep it in a shook state.

the sesame paste hides behind a bit of effort but the reward is worth the extra work.

the taste is amazing. mild and nutty. the nice thing about this is that it has a high fat content but it is not as impossible to digest as oil is. it still has it's fiber.

i use this to make sauces without oil. i just put tomatos and herbs into a blender and then i add a few tablespoons of this stuff and it turns into a nice creamy sauce but a sauce that the human organism has the chance to actually digest reasonably.

this stuff is so good, i wonder why it is not sold in regular supermarkets, i bother to go to the muslim markets just to get this goodness.

And to think it all started with the plow. One technological development suddenly required chaining and beating buffalo to drag this device, turning them into an entirely different animal. Then our belief systems changed with it, from living in some form of forced-harmony (due to a lack of influence over our environment) to nature and its residents being part of our dominion. And from there on we just got better and better at exploiting and ravaging the natural world, dividing it into what is useful to us and what can be exterminated.
Modern human existence is, for the most part, a blight on the world. While we reap the benefits of our progenitors' lack of responsibility we will also pay for their hubris in thinking man may enslave nature in perpetuity without some kind of reckoning.

This does not really change the fact this is uncommon and if you go to a random fast food place like McDonalds or Five Guys you almost always get served vegetable oil fries.

if humans weren't addicted to live above their means, they wouldn't have to enslave all the other creatures.

domestication of the dog i believe to be another mistake. dogs have ruined humans, made them boring and industrious team players like they are. riding horses was also a mistake.

to counteract similar ambitions in myself i prefer to buy groceries on foot and carry them in a backpack and not some wheeled vehicle that will just make me weak and lazy. at least this little part i can control i will make sure not to repeat humanity's mistake and finally learning from it.

economical thinking (which is just a collective form of living above the means) created a system that rewards the utility maximizers, which i believe the world would be much better without.

That's how I saw this for a long time as well but I heard someone explain this "metacrisis" as a bunch of prisoner's dilemmas / multipolar traps essentially. Let's say people like us are a tribe and we do our best to live simply and in as much harmony with nature as we can manage, so maybe hunter-gatherer plus what little agri/horticulture can be managed without animal husbandry. As soon as any other tribe begins to engage in agriculture and so on, they will radically increase their population, manage to specialize, increase their offensive technology and so on. Basically everyone else now is forced to also engage in these actions if they want to survive against this other tribe. Of course this leads to a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do. And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.
The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

Like you I try to do small acts of intentionally limiting myself, consciously going against this constant propaganda to consume more, be more comfortable, not think about any of these issues and so on. I'm quitting coffee for instance, since I don't live in a place where it grows naturally and habitually drinking something that requires multi-continental supply chains is no longer something I want to engage in, no matter how normalized it is in industrialized nations. I'm doing similar things with the rest of my diet as well.

what does your body 'think' about you?
>about your management of your personal human organism.
>about your decisions on what to put in it, or on it.
>about where you take it and when and how often.
>about how you use it

i reject the normoid idea that the body can not think or have an opinion. electricity flows into every cell, not just the bracrabls. life and emotion are all over the body except for in those people who believe their body is just a machine used to park the brain in front of screens.

i do think the body is it's own thing and ideally it is in a mutual loving relationship with the brain. i guess many group-minded people who know nothing but war will have a hostile relationship between body and brain.

i take good care of my body and i love it. it has been so good to me and i always give it enough sleep and put good food in and exercise it and then when i am doing something, it is so accomodating, supportive and helpful. i can not help but suspect it knows me and happily helps me through life. i am fully aware that this is not most people's experience. but it could be most people's experience.

the body has it's own path too and if a brain can understand the path the body tries to walk, decisions can be made to help the body along which then lead to benefits for the entire organism.

i guess i am trying to say the potential for harmony within the organism exists despite so few people stumbling upon it. i guess the obstacle in reaching this state is the corruption process that seeks to consume everyone. those who can see the corruption in others have an easier time dodging it.

how come your body even knows what beer is. you must have given alcohol to it a lot for it to get used to it. i did this when i was young but i soon realized the drinker's fate and wanted to stay away from it.

same with you as with the poster before, i don't even believe that's your body. what i consider more likely is that's your brain pretending it can speak for the body and i am not convinced that it can.

what if the body tries to communicate through love but you don't have a brain that understands love and the brain just tells the body what to do. permanent emergency but not a loving relationship between body and mind.

Organisms without a brain do not really seem conscious to me. I don't think plants, fungi, invertebrates think or have opinions. Further animals with consciousness like cats, while they have consciousness are not intelligent and don't have any more complex thinking than "in this place I can find food" or "I like this human".
Your post reminds me of this untrue belief plants and flowers can feel things and are self-aware, while any significant consciousness starts at animals with a small brain like mice and birds.

I think what goes wrong here you are simply able to feel your body with your central nervous system, and somehow you anthropomorphise these sensations in a person which is not you, while you are simply feeling pain or pleasure, illness or health

>I think what goes wrong here you are simply able to feel your body with your central nervous system, and somehow you anthropomorphise these sensations in a person which is not you, while you are simply feeling pain or pleasure, illness or health

what you dismiss as mere personification of the body rests upon the fact that i am basically software that is running my body. i am an operating system that runs the conscious voluntary part of this biological machine. you could replace me with the operating system of someone who lived 500 years ago and then it would not be me running this body, the body could function though.

however this perspective i am thus humoring assumes that i am not the ultimate best answer to the question "who should run this body, what should be his abilities, priorities" and i am wondering if i might be. i may have been grown to be the best possible operator of this machine because the consciousness of this machine (that you are in denial of) groomed me to address problems that occured in previous iterations of the machine. i have solved the problems that limited my father, i figgured stuff out by learning from him. he did the same, he improved upon what his father did. i suspect this process has been going for a while.

i have to go afk, i still wanted to adress the first part of your post.

>Organisms without a brain do not really seem conscious to me.

assuming you are correct and the body is not conscious then explain to me how the body knows when a good moment to poop is and when there isn't. when it is the worst time to poop, the body pauses until a better moment arrives. this is stuff the body is running in the background but it is running it so good that it can coordinate with your schedule. if now is a bad time to poop, your body understands that and my question is how. i assume it reads your emotions and the information you collect with your senses. does that not sufficiently represent a form of consciousness? your digestion knows what is happening in your life enough so it knows when to poop. do you know your digestion enough to know what to eat? because if you don't then i could argue your digestion not even IS conscious but is even MORE conscious then you are.

>I don't think plants, fungi, invertebrates think or have opinions.

i heard trees coordinate their airspace so that other trees are not in competition with each other for sun and rain. some say they communicate and share resources with each other. i have not looked into it too deeply but this is what i would expect of something that is alive and unable to move.

ants are an empire.

fungi have their own internet.

>Further animals with consciousness like cats, while they have consciousness are not intelligent and don't have any more complex thinking than "in this place I can find food" or "I like this human".

i think you are not privy to a lot of information that would lead you to believe otherwise. i think cat's live a crazy life, they are strong, dangerous with impressive movement ability and sense perception but they also have the worst digestive load. they have to digest flesh which requires strong acid and a lot of time. i am so thankful to have my digestion and not that of a cat.

Alcoholism Anonymage 08/11/25 (Mon) 14:25:02 No.302164 [Reply]

Does anyone here struggle with alcohol, or have managed to quit?

It used to be a good coping mechanism for me, but it seems the older I've gotten the worse it feels, and it's become detrimental to my health and the way I behave around people. Easily annoyed, constantly starting shit, tired all the time, strange pains. And I was still getting worse, fast.

This has been a wake-up call and I'm realizing I need to quit before it's too late. Though that's easy for me to say now when I'm still feeling bad, and I fear the cravings will come back strong, but I know I've got to try.

Curious to hear others experience with this.

Anyone else have trouble eating.

People I know sometimes make comments about me looking skinny. Don't look anorexic or anything but already naturally slim and don't eat a lot. Been really melancholic lately and while at least do eat healthy, even when I get the slightest bit of anhedonia, a hint of a depressive, lost kind of feeling or, just being simply, meditatively, truly in my own zone attaining no desire to eat and can kind of make me a bit sad being aware of this :/

I think it's cause I'm understanding that it probably stems from people pressuring you to eat your entire meal or pressured to have seconds and thirds as a kid, or others guilt tripping you as if you weren't already taught enough to have gratitude when it's brought up with food each meal. As if implied, that you weren't worth enough for nourishment or were too greedy to be given meals, like it was too much already that's been handed to you. While not growing up in poverty, as an adult I believe it also stems from feeling like having to save money constantly, even if unnecessary and have the resources to have adequate intake. It's like getting into this mode, where you cocoon yourself in hikkimori fashion, thereby keeping in as much emotional fuel, conserving every morsel that isn't needed to be spent, no using energy, mentally, physically, financial, staying as shielded from the outside world from anything that disrupts this inevitable cycle. Again it does truly feel like some weird, nirvana from decay, knowing further out as time passes you become further removed from the normal, socially sanctioned cycle of productive adult living, making it more and more unrelatable to anyone even those who would like to understand your situation. It makes one worrisome as it gets so schizoid and tranquil that I understand it will only transform into something darker further down the line.

I've seen this discussed in many threads so I made a thread for it. Many wizzies had had their life destroyed by psychiatric medication be it SSRI's, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines or others. A psych ward stay tends to leave you worse off. Some people get abused in psychiatric institutions. Mentioning you are sad and thinking about suicide to a doctor or nurse can get you forcefully restrained and tranquilised.
I'm suicidal but I avoid any medical help precisely for this reason.

I've read lots into psych stuff this is a fun lecture
https://youtu.be/Af5RSk6Bx-Y

The same thing actually applies for medicine in generally to a degree tbh.

If you look into stuff on your own there is some value to be gotten from it, if you understand what psychiatric disorders are. (Loose collections of symptoms categorized so they can do research on what treatments help them)
No psych drugs are even expected to actually fix anything, they simply lower the metrics in the symptoms.

There are some therapeutic techniques that do have very good improvement rates for certain things in terms of modern psychology, you have to look them up for what specific things you might be diagnosed with though (don't trust it just because a psych told you it, figure it out on your own, ai is helpful.)

Apart from that I greatly prefer jungian depth psychology stuff but hard to find anyone for that probably have to do it on your own.

One of the key things I'm annoyed is never talked about is the idea of transference. It's a per-requisite for most psychological stuff to work in terms of therapy. Depth psychologists talked about it more explicitly, but modern ones talk about it but just more academically.

Basically the precondition for therapy to work is seeing yourself as inferior to the therapist and basically inflating the idea of the therapist and even divinizing them to a degree, this is what lets the therapeutic relationship function and if you aren't willing to do that it will not.
No one ever told me this but I would not have bothered with trying it if I did. In depth psychology they talk about it in terms of as a beginning stage, but one that has to be ended. (Jung specifically says at a certain point more analysis/therapy is harmful). Modern ones don't have that and instead keep people in this perpetual infantile state so they can drain them of money.

Honestly you are better of for the most part trying to write down as best you can your life story, all your psychiatric issues and ask an AI to analyze it, provide differential diagnosis of what it could be. Then look into how to distinguish between those, then when you fPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>they simply lower the metrics in the symptoms
I doubt this, studies often find no or negligable improvement rate in symptoms, most famously certain commonly used antidepressants actually increase suicide rates.

Rest of your post reads like "yeah it's all bullshit but there are a few nuggets here and there".

Your final advice is to diagnose and determine treatment yourself (with AI) which is specifically the role of the doctor or therapist and then seek help from the people who specifically fail to do this.

There is no way you can reasonably be expected to do all this to get help from the psych system, best to avoid it alltogether.

In short, my vision is fucked I especially notice this when I am wearing glasses.

In short, when I wear glasses they overlap on top of each other. I think the drawing I made might explain more than just words.

And no, it's still not just a problem with glasses I have even when I don't use them, but with glasses it especially makes this worse and, on top of that, I can't see without them that much.

And another thing is how my vision works. For example, if I focus on my hand instead of the box, the box will appear double, while if I focus on the box instead of the hand, the same thing will happen with my hand.

The image explains better

In short, I just want to know what my problem is and what the solution to it. Please help. I don't want to take it anymore. Please

Go to an eye doctor? A specialist that can do a wide variety of tests to give you a proper diagnosis. Double vision can be pretty serious, if it's not a problem with your eyes, it might even be neurological.

I had keratoconus in both eyes and the regular eye doctor lady just gave me a shitty pair of glasses and told me I'd get used to them but I never did and I just accepted living in a blurry world. Then a couple years later I read about the condition online randomly and went to a specialist that confirmed it and gave me special contact lenses and I see perfectly now. I'm pretty sure if you go to a good eye clinic, they'll figure out what's wrong and tell you how to treat it.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and so starved for new games I would take pride in dominating my sister's games after getting bored of my own.
Then when she complained I would offer for her to play my games to make it fair but the vast majority of the time she couldn't even figure out how to get them to run or learn the controls.
I think at around 9 or so I just decided games were games and cartoons were cartoons so target demographic doesn't matter as long as I am having fun.
That said the games industry did succubi dirty, at leastin the 90s and early 00s. A lot of the games targeted at succubi were pretty bad and just low effort cash grabs. Even the good ones were mid compared to other stuff in the same genre of gameplay.

Indeed, often it seems succubi didn't even enjoy the titles targeted at them all that much, preferring more "neutral" titles. My mom and sister loved to play Sonic in our Mega Drive more than any of the more "girly" titles.

Bought this game during the recent Steam sale. Remember playing it when I was younger on the Xbox, so I figured I would relive some memories and pick up the PC port since it was dirt cheap.
Unfortunately, I didn't live up to my memories of it, and I have to conclude it's quite a mediocre game.
The conceit of the game is that it's basically a first person shooter, but instead of a normal gun, you have a crossbow that shoots a variety of critters (which are the different ammo types).
Spiders that tangle enemies in a web, wasps that are like a rapid fire machine gun, bats that explode, the furballs that have sharp teeth and function like proximity mines, etc.
It's a nice idea but it doesn't really work, because the game doesn't seem to be designed nor balanced around it, which is unfortunate considering that's the central gimmick of the game. I think what happened is that the developers had an interesting idea on paper, but then weren't able to flesh out it into a successful execution of said idea.
One of the ammo types, for example, is a talking chipmunk which acts as bait for enemies (there's a very rudimentary stealth system in this game). The tutorial introduces the idea of luring your enemies into a trap using these noisemakers. Except, throughout the rest of the game there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to actually do this. Sure you can lure an enemy to you and then shoot them, but there's basically no added benefit; you might as well just shoot them, straight up.
There's also some balancing issues in that there's a default infinite ammo type which is this electric bug, which if you let it charge up, stuns most enemies. The most efficient strategy then is to stun enemies with this infinite ammo type, while walloping them with the ammo type that does the most damage.
There's also bosses in the game which you can either kill or capture (there's a sort fantastical Wild West theme throughout the game, and you're a bounty hunter). Here again, the most efficient way to capture bosses is to just spam the stun and damage ammo types in quick succession. It would be much more interesting if each boss required a different approach e.g. this one needs to be stung with the wasp ammo before you can tie him up with the spiders, another might need to be bled out using the furball traps with sharp teeth before you can stun him, etc. Unfortunately, that's no the case.

What it comes down to, is that the game doesn't live up toPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I finished Saint Seiya: Soldiers' Soul on PS4 with my older sister. I hadn't come visit my parents in a while and she still lives with them, it was nice playing some video games with her again and finally beating this save of ours that was just waiting for us to sit down and kick Hades' ass. It's not the best title, the cutscenes and presentation are laughable, but it plays alright, even if we both thought Saint Seiya: Sanctuary Battle on PS3 captured the IP better, I'm still glad we play through it really.

Now if only we'd get another Saint Seiya title that isn't mobile slop, something based on Lost Canvas for PS5 would rock.

I always see Call of Juarez on sale on Steam, and I remember this game from back in the day, so I figured I'd play it.
Honestly a so-so experience. It's essentially a first person shooter, with some curveballs thrown into the mix.
You play as two characters, Reverend Ray (a priest obviously) and Billy Candle (a young man on the run). Every chapter you alternate between these two characters. Ray is tanky gunslinger priest (who even wears a steel breastplate) while Billy is a more agile stealth based character. All the Ray chapters are hectic shoot outs, while the Billy chapters try to switch it up with stealth and platforming sections.
The stealth is the classic tedious trial and error kind, but the sections are mercifully short and this game has quicksaves so it's just about bearable. The platforming sections are okay. I didn't mind them, but reading reviews for this game other people hated these chapters and I can totally see that.
This game was an early 7th gen title and it shows. A lot of the levels are open yet linear; like a straight tunnel that's just extremely wide (metaphorically, the actual environment mostly consists of open plains and mountains, etc.) There's a level in particular were an Indian (feather not dot) tells you to collect 3 rabbits, and you just end up riding around in this huge open space for a while. Story wise, that chapter follows are really hectic action set piece so I understand they wanted to put in a quieter beat, but this also feels like it was put in to show everyone "look, we can do large, seamless open environments with no loading screens and long draw distance, next-gen baby!". You're even tasked with climbing a mountain in this level. A real sort of proto Skyrim "see that mountain, you can climb it" type of moment. Incidentally, it was also my favorite level. Climbing a mountain just felt much more unique to me than the rest of the game which is a pretty mediocre shooter.
In line with the early 7th gen feel, this game tries to do a little bit of everything, while doing it all poorly. There's objects you can pick up, but there's never any use. There's a couple sections where you can fill up buckets and put out fires. You can use a whip to swing from trees during the platforming sections, but it's clunky -basically "look at our physics engine" type of stuff, that's all pretty poorly implemented.
Gun variety is mediocre. Couple of six-shooters as you would expect from a cowboy game, which havePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Optimising the mind Anonymage 05/13/26 (Wed) 10:33:50 No.228496 [Reply]

Thesis:

Engagement with structurally advanced texts and excellent rhetoric trains and temporarily optimises the mind into recurring modes of organization, attention, abstraction, and inference; repeated exposure can temporarily or semi-durably bias cognition toward those modes independently of propositional content.

Or in simpler terms, in the same way that algebra & calculus trains the mind towards logical and methodical thought in the long term, I believe it's possible for works of illustration, music and literature to do so in the short term. If this is true, then it's advantageous to catalogue such art-efacts and optimise exposure to them.

I'm not talking about the first order; "no duh, I read something that told/reminded me of facts and now they're at the front of my attention" or involuntary emotional responses, I'm talking about the temporary mental structure. Meditation or such like, if it works, seems to work by selecting for facts and details, voluntarily emphasising inputs to get desired outputs. It should notionally be possible then, to exercise the mind in such a way that one or more patterns of thought and emphasis can be either cold stored, or reliably reconstructed with inputs on demand. I think genius lies in being able to do this at will and not rely on outside props, but i'm not a genius.

The inspiration for this idea came from reading Robert Carlyle in the morning and consequently having a very organised and effective day at work, but I've noticed it much earlier in the second and third novel of Kai Lung. In the later case, the pleasant but none-the-less non-trivial effort of very complex English usually leaves me in a "well spoken" state for quite some time. I originally put this down to simple mimicry but perhaps there's more to it.

Thoughts? Examples of useful material?

If this is true, consider the darker side - that it's possible to artificially construct and reinforce dysfunctional frames of mind, not just overloading the memory and attention with noise and conflict, but actually implant a structure of thought - at scale. If this was so, how well does it explain modernity.

i don't know, it's difficult. if you're scared of people, you need experiences of safety. if you feel inferior, you need experiences of being enough. when you're stuck in a particular perceptual frame, you need knowledge of a different frame that serves as an antidote. if you just go outside and seek it out, you might never find it, because it has to be a very specific experience, the world is chaotic and unpredictable, and most likely you'll just collect more trauma. but also, conjuring it up from nothing through meditation is also difficult, because you don't know what you don't know, like imagining the taste of chocolate if you've never had chocolate. i did it somehow, before i messed around with tulpamancy, i didn't understand love on an experiential level, it was just missing from my perceptual field completely. now that i have knowledge of that particular frame and i can access it whenever i want and it seems to trigger real neurochemical processes i.e. i can trigger oxytocin purely by imagining cuddling with my tulpa.

Check Metaprograming circuit in Prometheus Rising and compare to Tulpamancy and forcing… hehe
You use a lot your brain around language or maths… these thing in a way start that circuit, you know the latter.
Each circuit is non-local, its not lineal.

habits are health Anonymage 01/14/26 (Wed) 19:21:19 No.322725 [Reply]

i've seen a few wizards who don't seem healthy.

is too bad because being healthy is easy once you know what matters.
the practice of being healthy i have reduced to managing of habits:

you constantly manage your habits. you find out what they are by doing the opposite of being in autopilot. manual flight. then you imagine the long term consequences of each habit. then you decide if you want those, the development of a desired state. keep the desirable habits, reduce all those you don't want through constant attention on your habits.

as you do this you might stumble upon ways to improve upon the desirable habits. this is almost already doing the next thing, which is finding good new habits to practice and slowly wondering when you have time to do them.

it is up to you to be healthy, it is an option, you can make this happen if you so choose. health is one choice away.

Greedy subhumans is one thing, but another is normies on the rat race. As long as they keep competing for pussy, life will be shit for wageslaves. Maybe the crabs will collectively throw in the towel and give up on the hustle and grind. Life would be so much calmer and easier if normies stopped trying to outstatus one another. Life would be so much cheaper if we wageslaves didn't have to fund our employers and their succubi's luxuries. It's only a pipe dream though.

why do they make you suffer, is it because they insult your hair? probably.

>But even if I could, I don't think I would, the one stoner I knew complained about weed making him dumb and forgetful all the time.

how often did he do it. there is no need to become one of the people who when they try something and they like it, they make it their everything and build an identity around it.

you know you can smoke a tiny doobert smaller then a cigarette once a month, sit on your bed and meditate or walk through nature and not have it negatively impact you.

if you do it more often then once a month i wouldn't smoke it because the smoke is horrible for your health even if you inhale through a filter with the utmost care and gentleness. (i tried). rather bake some weed in the oven gently and then gently simmer it inside a pan of coconut oil for 3 hours so you can just eat a spoon of the oil instead of smoking it.

Smoking weed, daily, is very bad for you, now if you smoke ocasionally there isn't much problem. Point is: avoid becoming a pot head because makes you literally retarded on the long run.

The voices are extremely unpleasant and I already hallucinate stuff sometimes. It's well known among schizophrenics weed makes this dramatically worse.
The stoner didn't really build an identity around it but hearing his complaints really convinced me this isn't a fun drug

There's no convincing evidence showing a casual relationship between weed and long term IQ/cognitive decline. If you use weed heavily you'll be slower but it reverses with abstinence, similar to getting rest after chronic sleep deprivation. Studies showing IQ loss are confounded by those who use weed also being more likely to be cognitively impaired or low SES to begin with.

The second one would be great if the screenshot was taken from an emulation of the HD remake with AA enabled.

maybe you are lucky and somebody did a insanely good looking high resolution playthrough of it and you could just screenshot it off.

>The first one is butt (that's bad) because of how busy it is on the left. Desktop icons would get lost in there. It must be flipped horizontally, vertically too maybe.

i can't even do wallpaper anymore, i just set it to a solid color. either a gray or a deep blue. besides these days i have my entire desktop covered in widgets. some hold my shorcuts to programs, others just visualize heat or show system percentages. i did like the combination of gray and colors when i was younger.

yeah man, i made my titlebar of each window gigantic which helps juggeling windows around.

also having and using terminal is very nice.

if you have an unused singleboard computer laying around, treat yourself and install a text based linux (like diet-pi) without desktop environment on it and see if you can find your way around. i should have done this back when i started with linux.

it is super easy now i can ask brave how to do stuff in linux. the linux help was very useful to me, learned a ton.

I use Linux on a laptop and I actually like the desktop environments, so no text-based distros for me. I don't think using GUI's to do certain stuff like distro installation is necessarily a bad thing, but you really need to know how to use the terminal if you want to experience the freedom and flexibility of Linux.
You can't use Debian-based distros on a lot of ancient laptops anymore with them having dropped i686, this was really bad for retro tech. Well atleast you can still use the Thinkpad T60.

i'm not saying switch to a text-based distro, i'm saying once you stepped into the arena (on a virtual machine or on a spare laptop for example) you will be glad you did it. because once you felt how nice text-based is you can cherry pick situations on which to choose text over graphics. i wish i did this sooner, don't repeat my mistake is what i am trying to say. text-based is awesome i regret staying so long on graphical. graphics are bloat!

Reality is conceived by pure evil Anonymage 05/22/26 (Fri) 09:27:44 No.307908 [Reply]

It comes to my mind very often how evilness surrounds everything, from your own body being rotten and painful to the average politician being cruel and unhinged.
I can really assume we live in a hell realm, people are so used to suffering that atrocious and disgusting news such as murder or car accidents are deemed normal.
We're born without knowing why in a world we did not create and we must obey rules we did not decide, there is really no point in counsciousness when existence is like this unless it was conceived by evil forces for evil purposes.
So my conclusion is that we live inside a reality of pure evil, no chaotic, no orderly, just pure evil without any sense, like hitting your head until you die.

Everything revolves around balance. Evil is just another useless concept that doesn't work without there being good. Maybe existence is just there because some bored Gods wanted to demonstrate each other what these formal concepts look like in full colour and how limited conscious beings behave when they are given the option between good and evil.

Here is a list of what I call torture that is commonly suffered on earth:

Hunger and thirst -> the most common form of torment in nature and the major cause of death among animals
Temperature -> from being burned alive to frozen to death I call this the seasonal torture
Violence -> millions of animals are slaughtered every day, among humans every 30 seconds a violent crime happens
Disease -> pain, suffocation, nausea, dizziness, itching, spasms, pressure, discomfort, cramps, paralysis, clots, dysfunction, infections, cancer, etc…
Psychological torment -> anxiety, depression, psychosis, existential dread, trauma, etc…
Fatigue and coercion -> being tired and exhausted, forced slavery, enduring prison or psychiatrization
Emotional trauma -> being scolded, abandoned, abused, bullied, etc…
Nature -> insects biting you, animals devouring you, losing your home from a disaster, storms, earthquake, eruptions
Threat from outer space -> asteroids, aliens, intergalactic events, etc…
Laws -> many laws may prevent you from getting relief such as a home for the homeless, or opioids for the suffering ones

Communism is the most enlightened state of Humanity Anonymage 03/21/26 (Sat) 03:36:31 No.323167 [Reply]

"Let Us Beat Swords Into Ploughshares is a bronze sculpture by artist Evgeniy Vuchetich (1908 ¬– 1974). Vuchetich was an esteemed Soviet sculptor and artist well-known for his heroic monuments. In 1959, he was given the “People’s Artist of the USSR” award.
The sculpture depicts the figure of a man, holding a hammer aloft in one hand and a sword in the other hand, hammering the sword into a ploughshare, a tool to till land for crops. This action symbolizes man’s desire to put an end to war and transform tools of destruction into tools to benefit mankind.
The Book of Isaiah contains the following passage: "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
The sculpture was gifted to the United Nations by the USSR on December 4th, 1959. It was presented on behalf of the Soviet Delegation by Vassily V. Kuznetsov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the USSR, to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold who accepted the sculpture on behalf of the United Nations."

>To me jesus was a human that supersticious humans divinized and make a too magical history to turn his life more epic
Ironic. To me the biggest reason why I can't be Christian despite wanting to be religious all my life is the opposite.
It's not fantastical enough for me.
Jesus and all bible stories read like down to earth tribal history mixed with some slight fantasy.
At best it's some tall tale told by a village elder in a way to pass on some wisdom to the masses, at worst it's just some story about a handful of villagers/tribesmen doing mundane crap slightly exaggerated.

Too many real things in it that can be mapped onto things we experience in real life so you know by instinct what parts might or might not be bullshit.
Too many historical claims or truth/fact claims that can be proven false or at least attacked.
To me something like tao/daoism depicted in Chinese fantasy novels is a more believable/acceptable religion because they are so far removed from our own realm and reality.

I really don't understand why or how it spread so far and wide and how people can willingly subject themselves. Perhaps surface level aesthetics and a lack of curiosity to dwell deeper. Idk.
Most Christians don't know much aside from what was fed to them by curators of their denomination it seems. Not that I blame them, to most normies it's just another thing to do with the group like painting eggs for the easter bunny.
It's still crazy to me that so many people venerate those that aren't even remotely their kin.
My country was converted to get a dude crowned 1000 years ago and now it's a great part of "our" identity somehow. Crazy stuff.

To be fair I'd buy into it based on aesthetics alone if it was more fantastical/philosophical without the history part so I can't really blame anyone else.

How to stop caring? Anonymage 04/17/25 (Thu) 23:29:37 No.223082 [Reply]

How do you genuinely just stop caring about everything shitty in your life? I just want to become numb to it all. People always say you shouldn't, but whenever I let myself feel any small amount of happiness the feeling of sadness/depression that I'll inevitably feel later is so painful it makes me wish I just didn't feel anything at all in the first place. Meditation has gotten close to this and I like the peace it gives me but I wish I felt that peace all the time.

Anonymage 05/22/26 (Fri) 09:03:05 No.228622

The best way to stop caring is to no longer be able to care because of fatigue, either physical or mental fatigue.

U should look for a very tiring activity, repetitive and intellectually undemanding.

Working in the construction, for instance.

Also try to avoid any brain exciting product like sugar or coffee, or loud content on the internet.

I fucking hate Reddit: An Essay Anonymage 04/12/26 (Sun) 06:37:51 No.323344 [Reply]

Redditors are anti-human. Their speech is akin to corpo babble, their draconian rules would make the most ruthless dictator on Earth flatter, their mannerisms are passive-aggressive and very feminine in nature. Reddit is like a mix of the HR team from a Silicon Valley company, the most rabid antifa member, an army of socially awkward unhinged manchildren and all the Cluster B succubi in the world.

It’s funny how they act both like a hivemind but also like mindless drones, as if they lacked any semblance of individuality. If you strive just slightly from the norm, you will get downvoted, your post removed and (if you’re lucky) they will ban your account, freeing you from the hassle of interacting with the site. The karma system only serves the purpose of silencing dissidence and rewarding virtue signaling. Like a contest to see who loves mainstream western narratives the most.

What Reddit ultimately reveals is a social pathology created by its own architecture. The platform incentivizes conformity over thought, performance over sincerity, and compliance over conviction. Expression is filtered through an ever-present fear of sanction. Under those conditions, users learn quickly that it is safer to repeat approved thoughts than to think for themselves. The result is a population trained to self-censor and to police one another, lest they offend advertisers.

This is why discourse on Reddit feels less like conversation and more like corporate risk management. Opinions are hedged, emotions are pre-approved, and disagreement is framed as harm. People don’t argue to discover truth but to demonstrate moral alignment. The karma system functions as a behavioral reinforcement loop, rewarding consensus and punishing deviation, until originality itself becomes a bannable offense.

In that sense, Reddit is less a forum and more a training ground for a particular kind of personality, as I described above. The passive-aggressive, feminine nerd who’s more invested in appearing correct rather than being honest, that’s the most common type of user on the platform. It is not surprising that the website feels exhausting to anyone with blood running through their veins and, I will be honest here, anyone with a soul. The system is hostile to actual human beings. It’s no surprise the web is filled to the brim with bots and shills. I’m sure that, except for the small minority of redditors with a pinch of self awareness, most users wouldn’t be aPost too long.

In the end, it is their website. The real cancer is government/glowies propping up these shitholes and attacking any free platform or competitor. Why should we pay taxes for this bullshit? And then they have the nerve to claim we have free speech because you aren't locked up immediately if you criticise the system. These corpos sometimes themselves buy out competition and do these scummy cartel practices. Imagine the internet if the spirit of 19th century entrepeneurism and free markets was alive, this brought us civilisation as we know it

Redditors are worse than war criminals

The thought came to me the other day. At least those who commit atrocities in combat have some justification, ie war is hell and survival means corruption of morals. But redditors have no justification for their total commitment to midwittery, atheism, degeneracy, leftism in all forms, and clueless pseudo-intellectualism.

So, redditors are worse than war criminals. The thesis is confirmed.
