In light of all this, the ancient tribes from these soon to be war torn sections of earth should probably move to the neutral Turkmenistan or Tajikistan. The former is especially advised. Otherwise, they'll simply be raped and defiled given that's just what happens in places where death's common.

Regarding the reversal of the Bantu expansion. I think it's quite possible the Arabs will push it all the way to the endpoint of the Horn. They'll basically eliminate all Blacks from Sudan proper. It'll later move to South Sudan once that's done, then they'll add on to whats been taking place in Ethiopia, finally then finishing off everyone in Somalia. Djibouti and Eritrea goes without saying.
The strongest wipeout will probably take place in Somalia since it's the most disorderly place and harbors a long coastline that's basically not being properly exploited. The killings might continue until the Somali population is basically reduced to 0.
As all of this is occurring, the Chinese will do the job in Madagascar.

Plausible swaps.
1. Sumatra for Sarawak and Sabah.
2. Mongolia for Xinjiang.

1 -> Malaysia-Singapore-Sumatra connection
1 -> Proper curation of Indonesia's mainland

2 -> Cessation of religious pluralities, ethnic differences, overall enmity

 No.324100

>>324093
Personally hoping for 2. Xinjiang gets out of China's grip and joins Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan as part of one country. To pacify the Chinese public from thinking it a loss, Mongolia then gets annexed into China. All of this happens during the Taiwan fiasco. Russia then seizes some of Kazakhstan's extreme territories. The overall result is a good power balance in the east.
I don't ever see the Sumatra / Sarawak-Sabah swap happening, but that Kayin and Mon strip from Myanmar joining Thailand seems doable.
With Greater Iran and Greater Kazakhstan and a superior ASEAN (see: Bhutan, NEI), you can have a pretty good corralling zone.

Well, whatever. It's ultimately the Jesuits who decide the maps and the Jesuits who decide the alliances. Shame they've established such retarded shit for now. The fuck were they thinking making Mongolia some border zone and letting China get away with Xinjiang? Stupid shit. Even stupider for them to bank on India as some counterweight of China.

Does anybody else live with family who have seemingly not a care in the world to be careful with your belongings?? It's incredibly annoying and often blood boiling. I have a lot of collections, and attempt to make models like tanks/planes/warhammer stuff and quite often my parents will "inspect" my room for whatever retarded reason and often break several items. I internally call my dad "The grabbler" he picks up delicate items with his full fist, all fingers perfectly alinged - like a special ed kid grabbing a pencil. As you can imagine, this often BREAKS anything even remotely fragile.

This has been an issue I've dealt with my entire life. I'd have my pokemon cards on a playing mat in my room, parents barge in and walk right on them despite them being able to walk around it, and I wasn't even in the way. Or other times where they would grab my school work with greasy/chocolate coated hands and get stains all over it. Also they love coughing and sneezing without any attempt to cover their mouths. You will see spit and mucus stains EVERYWHERE in the house. Especially on the shared computer screen, utterly disgusting.

I have tried everything to get them to be less dirty and more respectful and mindful but they just don't care, my mother is literally too stupid to understand, my father just doesn't care. I don't really want to move out either as it's not a possibility on my wages unless I want to live in a car or next to criminal social housing with even more disgusting people.

The list goes on and on about all the dirty behaviour they get up to. I might even jot down some greentext stories if I'm bored later

Already happened. This was just the recent one, it's typically my own parents breaking things. My dad especially. Let's say we have a rare playing card, he will pick up and scrunch it up in the process. Purposely bend it to "test it" and it will have HEAVY crinkles. He denies its worth anything. He will sneak into my room whilst im at work and inspect/damage my items. I have a lot of stuff sealed and hidden away because of this. I keep bait stuff out for him to meddle with. The worst part is he is just really that stupid, it's not even malicious. Stupid and ignorant, can't explain anything to him. You could show him how a card is selling for 1,000 dollars and he says its a lie and rips the card up to prove it (didn't happen just an example of what hes like).

Creatine Monohydrate should be supplemented because to get a full working dose one would need to eat an entire chicken dinner's worth of beef. It's vital in the human body's functions that relate to not being unhealthy. I've been taking it for years and I'm very strong and smart and large.

>>307661
That seems like a lot to take in but many men's health support supplements cover much of that in two doses. Ideally much of this shouldn't be supplemented but rather acquired through an actual balanced diet, but that would probably give a caloric surplus for the average NEET.

I feel like a lot of people, especially older normies overestimate the abilities of the average guy and the problems that are out there to be solved in real life.

There is this old guy I listened to for the past decade now called Eli the Computer Guy and he often repeats this mantra that a tech professional should go out there pick themselves up by their bootstraps and solve problems for money.
Solve real world problems for money. Provide solutions using your skills. Over and over again while teaching people about making toy cars with a microcomputer or whatever.

Issue is there aren't any problems the average guy is capable of solving that people are able to pay enough for to make it worthwhile.
Maybe I'm low IQ and not creative enough, but that is the point I guess.
The average guy that got a CS or engineering degree and is now doing menial tasks at a big corporation isn't going to create groundbreaking solutions because everything worth doing, all the low hanging fruit and obvious problem/solution pairs have been done to death, patented to death or worse.

Big tech is so big that they offer a solution so refined, so solid, so cheap that no mom-and-pop shop will ever give you the time of day if those even exist.
The average normie is quite content with a phone which is basically a toy-ified computer gadget.
They don't need more.
Most even run their own little business from it using a handful of cheap/free big tech tools that if you were to offer a homebrew solution for it would cost an arm and leg to maintain without economies of scale.

What does a network tech that wants to "solve problems" do aside from running cable? You could lease a 10G fiber line from a big ISP and sublet it by wiring up a small village I guess?
Then the government gives a huge fucking grant to big ISP and they just wire up every small village themselves leaving you with nothing.
If you are lucky you can become a subcontractor doing menial tasks for the big ISP in a set region.

What does the average coder do now? Especially with the future of them limiting hardware/software access? Every app is made that a normie needs. Kinda like with websites.
Every normie uses less than a dozen of them, mostly through apps…

I am a neet but I think it is impossible to truly remain unaffected. What I rather meant is being born, growing up, and living in this society tricks you into believing a certain way of thinking is reality, it gives you this subtle brainrot interacting with these systems over years which is hard to notice, you're entire way of thinking becomes warped and you lose track of what is actually real
hence the normies get filtered

liberal arts degrees exist for people with a particular passion to have a place to pursue it, and for people with a place at dad's company to have an easy way to get a piece of paper that says "degree" on it. considering it from a career perspective is stupid.

if anything, the practice of treating university as a vocational school that prepares people for a career is historically abnormal, a feature of the centralized nation state trying to mass-produce technical specialists. now that the demand for those is dying out, so is the system of university as a step you take to guarantee a job.
>>306265
the low hanging fruit were picked a lot longer ago than you think. even most of the oft-cited examples of someone "single handedly" changing the world at any time in the past 200 odd years are more often than not about someone spending a decade or two fundraising and eventually getting lucky after burning millions than working alone in a shed.

success in starting a business is almost always a matter of simply being in the right place at the right time, and getting lucky on a risky gamble. you won't find it by just going around and looking for problems, because everyone is out there looking fof ways to make money. you need to be one of the first few to find out, have the right skills and know the right people to get things off the ground before the market is saturated.

as for average engineers and programmers, they're glorified assembly line workers. the real entry level degree to do actually creative technical work is a PhD nowadays, and even that doesn't work out for most people (don't think it worked out for me)

asking a chatbot for business ideas is the exact opposite of a way to succeed. it will distill the statistically most probable responses, aka the things it thinks people would say, aka the things it has seen people say in situations like yours time and time again, aka the shit that everyone else is already doing or trying to do

you need arbitrage, a competitive edge, something that sets you apart. a business profits because it discovers a shortcut, it solves some problem so much cheaper than the alternatives that you can afford to take a cut. if everyone has already thought of it, everyone has tried it, and it either didn't work or it worked and now they're already there eating your lunch but with an established process and customer base.

>Were you emotionally neglected as a child?
I wonder if this led me to become who I am now, at least in social settings.
I have no idea if I suffered from this, although I remember times when I was told not to cry, or I got used to not crying over silly things that perhaps maybe weren't silly for a child.
I read those internet ads about caring for parents and children, and they recommended hugs, affection, and not denying children's pain and suffering, and that the best thing is to get it off the emotions of their chest or body.
but if this doesn't happen, then they build up a shell, armor, or something like that because they mask or hide these emotions automatically out of pure habit and training. and later they will have trouble releasing their emotions from their bodies. Babies and toddlers do this naturally when they cry.
>Also
I can't remember the last time I cried with all my might or something like that.
I wonder if this led me to be the way I am now, at least in a social way. I wonder if I can treat it. I read from an anon that some of these things can only be treated with love. But the truth is confusing.
Maybe my brain is already like this, although I read that the brain can change, as can one's habits and feelings.

I have thought about this a lot. But when I really start to think about it, I start to blame the school system. It's really pretty unnatural at this point. I remember being a completely different person outside of school and in it. And other people noticed this too. It also happens to me now at jobs, college etc. I am not meant for institutions.

I got a very sad event and started to write things out of nowhere, like poems and short shitty ironic funny stories in my language, even some are sad or deppresive or even dramatic histories.
Sometimes i like to draw calligrams.
I shared it sometimes with randoms or people i know and they enjoyed it.
I doing this now like two weeks and i feel kind calm and in some way at times little happy after reading or laughing at my shitty work, i dont know why but i like it feels more fulfilling than doing nothing or focus much in fixing my sadness bacause sometimes i even got some smirk or laugh of people seing my art and they looks happy to me and that's everything to fill my day with their little spontaneous bacon of sunlight in this abyss.

Norms, notions and behaviors they have that annoys you.

>Never argue with your critics or openly dismiss them
Their blood seems to almost always boil when you openly disagree or argue back against their point of view. They seems to just expect you to just nod along and agree(even if it's dishonestly).
Even if they deliverer their criticism rudely they expect you to still be polite with them.
Been told that snarky responses to people's criticism like
>I don't care go fix it yourself if you have a problem with it!
>Rich coming from an amateur like you, I like to see you do better!
>Who cares about what you have to say? Shove it up your ass!
>If you don't like it then do something else!
Will just ensure no one will bother to be honest with you, if they see you do something that is bad/wrong they will keep their mouth shut or lie saying you're doing great and hope you sabotage for yourself.
For a while I bought this. However, it just lead to people daring to be more rude with me. Eventually lead me to snap and revert to my old behavior. Then people started to choose their words more carefully when they talk to me.
Most of the time their criticism isn't even constructive, it's just them wanting you to cater to their preferences. So far this "antisocial" behavior haven't cause me any harm.
This is just some bollocks normies made up, because they don't like when people disagree or argues with them. They just want to be "right" without any push back.

I liked how teachers didn't give a shit about me not giving a shit. If you're quiet and don't make a fuss, you can get by pretty okay. I was the guy doing nothing during group assignments and it wasn't a problem. If I got bullied I just started squealing really loud and crying to everyone about it, and because it's the first time I made a noise, people knew it was legit and solved it.

I quite literally ran back and forth on the playground all day by myself and daydreamed in class, and the teachers had no problem with it. I got top math grades and was 4 years behind in reading/writing, but apart from the time I got a literal 0 on a spelling test they didn't care.

I can see how at one point in time it made sense to 'hustle' when a simple job could allow you to afford rent on a decent home where you could save to move up. Now it's a scam, yet they grow more and more frantic as their money buys them less so their solution is to be faster than the guy next to them.

It's just the absolute entitled and sociopathic nature they all have. The need to be first in line, first out the door, their time is always more important. Yet when pointing this out you're given psychotic platitudes such as "No one owes you respect" or you just get the flouride stare. If that's the case then fuck everyone I'm not participating in your gay pyramid scheme.

I hated the public school system, it was just a preview of how I would do in society. I was a poster child for ADD going to school in the alleged based 90s that everyone so desperately wants to go back to. Like any healthy boy I was full of energy and wanted to run around outside and learn by doing things, reading when I wanted to and learning what I wanted to. That attitude got me in a lot of trouble in school because I wouldn't sit still, wouldn't listen when told, wouldn't eat the gross prison food. Naturally I was labeled with the meme disorder, even after getting tested. Back then the school system had been transformed by feminists, so if I didn't behave like a succubus and quietly sit with my hands in my lap then it's time to take the fucking pills.

I sort of agree with this post. I haven't given up on the dream of moving out, getting a better job that teaches me real skills, etc. but I'm turning 27 this year and can see the boat out slowly sliding away from me. Youth is such a big bandage on failure. It's nice for older adults to feel like they can mentor someone younger – so not knowing much at 25 is okay. It was okay. But I'm 27 now, it's less cute. Soon I'll be 30, and if I remain at this dead-end job, what will happen to me?

All that said I haven't given up on life. I am settling in my own way while still dreaming of a future. I want to go out of the country this year… France or Japan or something. Just walk around for a week, have a piece of my dreams even if I can't experience them in full.

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

With the current state of gaming, all a studio would need to do to earn praise from real gamers would be release a game with a female character who isn't a fat negro succuboss, or a male main character who isn't a goofy try-hard who gets spoken down to by said succubosses.

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 mean isn't this public knowledge at this point? Ragebait is a mainstream term now. Most people know that media, social media, the internet as a whole is set up to farm people like this.

What I'm not really understanding is what you would try to get out of it. Snap your finger to be more outgoing an eloquent on demand?
Learn more efficiently?
Get into the "zone" for whatever task at hand instantly?

I doubt this would be easy if at all feasible. The /x/ types do this with drugs or the alternative being long term conditioning and setting up your environment to aid in inducing desired states of mind.

You won't learn math just by reading a textbook unless you become capable of solving problems and writing proofs.

Exactly that. I've done it by accident enough times to notice a pattern and get meaningful comparisons when it comes to task outcomes.

Finding the structure of the phenomena, sourcing tools or procedures that support it, is what I'm looking to do.

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.

Decided to give Hitman Blood Money a go for old times sake. Doesn't hold up as well as I thought.
My main gripe with it, is that I just don't think the missions are well-designed. For example, on the mission where you're in a suburb the guy you're tasked with killing is inside a house protected by FBI agents. Now to get inside that house the game provides you with ample choice.
You can knock out a clown and steal his disguise, or a catering guy, or a garbage man, or you can sneak around back by sedating the dog in the backyard. Even here there's choice because you can find something to sedate the dog in a nearby house or shoot it from a treehouse a house over. Sounds great right? Tons of agency, player choice, what more do you want. Well, the problem is that you can also acquire a FBI disguise right at the beginning of the mission, very easily in fact, which allows you to go anywhere you want, so there's absolutely no use for any of the other options.
In the second mission, you have to kill two dudes in an opera house. Right at the beginning of the mission one target goes on stage for rehearsal and the other target sits in a balcony and watches. What I found out, is that you can just shoot the opera singer target in the head with a silenced pistol, and throw a remote controlled mine up at the balcony and take out the other target. This way it took me literally under two minutes to finish the mission.
Now I suppose the intent is that you replay the missions, explore the environment, try different methods, get a higher ranking, etc. but to frank that's not something I care for at this stage in my gaming career. So you're just left with pretty dull and straightforward mission in what should be a very choice-laden game.
The game also doesn't really allow you to figure things out in a natural way. During the Mardi Grass level you start off in a hotel; in one of the rooms there's a guy in a crow costume which is something you need. In that room there's two succubi dancing. So what do you do? You can't distract them, so you just kind of awkwardly shoot them all and hope nobody hears, or go find some other avenue of approach.
I did exactly that, found one of my targets just wandering around a back alley, and killer her. Then I heard a guy on a walkie talkie say, that he was in "position" (the mission revolves around you preventing a political assassination). So, I went to where he said he was and easily killed him as well. Then I got tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I played through Prey (2017). To be honest, this isn't my first attempt; I gave up on it a few years ago—I just got lost among all the options and the game's many systems, and deleted it after three hours. A lot depends on how you approach the game and what you expect from it. I thought—because I was misled—that this would be a Bioshock-style game set in space. While there are similarities, this game is first and foremost a completely unique immersive sim; if it can be compared to anything, it’s naturally the System Shock games.So my first attempt at the game was a failure; I ended up soft-locking myself. Now, years later, when I jumped back into it for the second time—more experienced and with a clearer head—it was a completely different experience from the very first moment. I approached it smartly, methodically, and tactically. And it was a completely different experience. I can say that the game completely hooked me within 15 hours.The game is beautiful; the developers have poured incredible energy into the environment, the storytelling, and the various connections between elements. Every day feels meaningful—even the story of the last NPC to die is woven into the narrative somewhere. It’s rare to come across a game into which the developers have poured so much energy and love.

>Hitman blood money
The fun thing is killing mission people like a ghost or by accidents (max points and sometimes hard), go full postal or rambo, killing by background or explosions or put venon in things and using the sniper rifle in some places (you can upgrade more and more this weapon as you get unlocks by perfect points in missions same with other weapons) and collecting the weapons or trying exploits.
Or killing every one in map if you can.
Getting the routine of npc or doing every thing perfect at time feels too good like 47 was like a killer god or a paranornal dude (he was a experiment after all)
The news paper at end of missions is very funny.
Here 47 feels like a professional killer and not like a super spy in a film with batman vision like late games.
But yes, each level is too much rigid in structure at times. The house with the fbi van was one used for demo and in short have a lot of ways to play it even without costumes. Its very fast to do.
Some maps are damn big and take more study of npc actions or even minutes to complete. Its very realistic at this and i like the details of maps bacause are in a lot of ways real life places or situations. Some ways to enter or exit or even kill are more slow or fast or even more hard or safe.
Mods and exploits make everything more fun.

we must accept it. we are losers and society mocks us no matter what we do. we're not cool. we think we're cool because we are in a website where only virgin males are in and we circle jerk together. That's why we think we're superior to normalfags while in fact we're seen has failed people. you may feel as much superior as you like on wizchan but once out of the internet, you'll be mocked for being 30+ virgin male behind your back.
It sucks; being mocked and being. alower human being. even non-white are more successful than you and being racist doesn't change that. I think racism is a kind of cope people are because they're frustrated.
You can be as much succesful as you can be (rich, good job, house, beautiful car,etc…) like every other normalfags but at the end of the day when they'll ask you if you have a wife or a gf, and after you said never, they'll think something's wrong with you or you're gay.
Some wizards donnt give a fuck because they feel above all of that but those are, according too me, a übermensch bit it is a very rare case. so don't think you're one to please you're ego. I think the wizard übermensch has everything a normalfag has in life but is morally superior to them. those who uses this power to trashtalk others isn't a übermensch according to me because he does the same shit normalfags do to others to feel better. There's a lot of wizards who mock normalfags to feel better but at the end of the day it makes them look like as bad as normalfags. the übermensch is a rare case and I am 100% sure there's no übermensch wizard on here (or maybe 0,1%).
Anyway, I'm not making a thread about the wizardmensch because it would fit most on /wiz/ than /dep/. I'm making this thread on /dep/ because I'm sad and depressed being a failure. even failednormalfags mock us.
We're ugly and dumb. feel free to delete the thread mods, I don't care I'm sad. I don't want to push my narratives unto others. I know many wouldn't agree because they live a good life and don't care about what other people think or say about him, but I know most of the wizards suffer and that's why there's a /dep/ board…if it wasn't the case, tbis board wouldn't exist. wizards are sad. in fact I don't know why they're sad because they just have to live life luke anybody else; it's just they don't have a wife and kids but live life like everyone else on this earth. so why wizards aren't happy?

I wish you had typed this better, there’s a tad too many errors, but overall, yeah I agree somewhat.

To begin with if we are losers or not, I believe it hardly matters in the way you are mentioning it, we all have our own cognitions, mind you it is true society would consider most wizards losers and failures but they have their own lenses of what “success” entails, and while I consider one should be aware of such lenses and their cognitions that doesn’t mean they should weight on you or that you should judge yourself with them.
Regarding self-aggrandizing wizards, well, yeah I find it to be appalling behavior, but there are people who need to heighten their ego everywhere, be it normies, crabs, faggots, losers, winners, wizards etc, when it comes to wizards though I do believe for some it’s merely a way to cope, probably because they can’t completely detach from those lenses I mentioned before, so they do see themselves (at least to some degree) as losers and they can’t be at peace with that, so they turn to considering themselves, their behaviors and cognitions inherently superior in some way, pathetic behavior to my eyes but well. Mind you some definitely do believe it wholeheartedly and for them it’s not a cope but rather a completely objective fact, how one reaches such a point I’m not too sure, the same goes for racists, I do believe it tends to largely come from a need to cope.
When it comes to your idea about the “überwizard” I consider it really interesting, I myself have pondered about the same before (but rather calling them just “true wizards”), and overall I agree in the sense that someone who reaches such a state of internal peace with themselves, the world, their conditions etc is worthy of being considered different or as you say a “überwizard”, just as you I believe they’re rare, though personally my experiences tell me there’s probably a decent amount of people who are in a sort of middle state between a normal one and a über one, if they’ll ever become a über or maybe even regress to a wizard or maybe even morph into a crab, only time will tell and honestly, I don’t think we can ever truly know at which state someone is, only they know, we can at best do educated guesses.

When it comes to the rest what can I really say, it’s your cognition, I don’t consider myself ugly for example nor do I mind that I’ll never get the success normies speak of, though I can be honest with you and admit I’m a weird mentally ill, rePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

It depends on the emphasis. I was always racist but I only really leaned into it once my life came apart. It's sort of like how some of the most successful guys with succubi hold succubi in contempt, but they don't have bitter hatred about it like the losers do.

This thread is for talking about OCD, addictions, or those kinds of disorders that ruined our lives
>So
When I was a kid, I had some pretty OCD-like behavior—I’d touch things and check them over and over until I felt reassured that everything was okay. I also used to walk on my tiptoes, which is a bit autistic, but I eventually stopped doing that (I don’t know if I have autism at this point bacause never did a test, but whatever).
>So what’s up with you?
Well, in my case is limerence (some studies say is co-related to OCD)
>And what’s that like?
Well, imagine a succubi (for some people even can be the other sex you dont like) talks to you and treats you kindly once or twice, and then you start getting way more than just nervous around her because your body starts releasing dopamine, serotonin, and all that shit. And since you don’t know what’s going on, you think you like her or have fallen in love, but its NOT.
really it’s just fucking anxiety toward a “thing.” Because you’re constantly seeking validation in some way—whether for friendship, attention, or love but you have this anxiety that you know is inappropriate, and if you act on it, the feeling of danger gets worse, it’s almost like you’re having a heart attack. and as time pass the thing got worst and worst and you get more obsessive, nerveous and get a peak of anxiety, even start to rumiate or have that thing of limerence (LO) living rent free in your head bacause your brain cant stop thinking about your LO
>What was the worst experience you've ever had?
Even you will end starting to dream with the LO and have happy dreams or nightmares and waking up crying bacause you are getting the peak of anxiety and dopamine,etc sec before waking up. this shit can even ruin friendship.
>Why the hell does this happen?
I don’t know, genetics, anxiety, depression, emotional dependency, low self-steem, negligent parents, love hungry, maybe OCD etc and a whole lot of shit
>You're larping this nonsense
but in my case, it’s not like those internet memes of bitch tumblr succubi where it only happens once and they use like a joke for love or crush

you wouldn't have that if you knew how to make yourself happy. it is you releasing the dopamine that is already in your body. if you knew how to make yourself happy, you wouldn't need the other person to be the key to unlock your happiness.

i also experienced this when i was younger because i was in school were happiness is 'treated' as a problem and you learn it is better not to be happy. this is the seed of corruption. by training you to be unhappy, you become an emotional puppet. regain your strengh man and unlock yourself through meditation.

I can never enjoy a moment to its full extent. I can never relax. I can never truly feel at rest. I have Tourettic (also known as Just Right) OCD and Pure O OCD, which are the worst kinds to have IMO. CBT doesn't work for these types. And I would rather die than get on meds. I feel like Sissyphus, I am constantly performing labor, every moment of my life. Except unlike Sissyphus I can't crush my head with the boulder. I am my slave and my master. Not even drugs relieve me from it. Sometimes it gets to a point where wearing shoes feels like torture (without any trace of hyperbole) because I sometimes get a compulsion where I need to wriggle all of my toes five times. I inherited this disorder and hypothetically if I were able to get married and have kids I may very well choose not to because I don't want people to experience this burden.
This is hell. I am so exhausted. It started when I was a kid and just rapidly accelerated from there. I didn't know that I was experiencing the last peaceful moments of my life. I never knew peace again. There is no escape aside from death.

I don't think I understand OCD. Seems like certain compulsions literally take you over from time to time. Some normie with a healthy brain would probably believe something like this isn't possible or it is exagerated. Going through bizarre mental stuff myself I am inclined to believe OCD is real.
>I can't imagine how awful that must be
I hear a voice in my head which constantly comments on my thoughts, but isn't some kind of dream or fantasy. I have zero control what it says and can't turn it off. I can interact with it like it is a different person. I can clearly sense the difference between my thoughts and these voices. Only other schizophrenics seem to understand how this ruins your life.

I got three books around the topic of limerence in scientific studies and biography
(Remember this post is not about love but about a out of control brain malfuction based in some type of phenomena so these book are not romantizing anything around this maybe OCD behaviour)

>Smitten: Romantic obsession, the neuroscience of limerence, and how to make love last (International Edition) by Dr Tom Bellamy
Good book with scientific studies and methods to stop go to much insane nuts with limerence sensations or identify it before start, it dont remember but it maybe have some reference to next book guy studies. Very grounding and humanizing.

>Living with limerence: A guide for the smitten by Dr L
Same as the first book but have some have some cited histories of the forum of this dude (living with limerence) that some people write around anecdotes (a lot of times sound like us… why?) Still grounding to this shit experience.

>When Longing Becomes Your Lover: Breaking from Infatuation, Rejection, and Perfectionism to Find Authentic Love: A True Story of Overcoming Limerence by Amanda McCracken
I didnt started to read this but its a biography of a succubi journalist that dated 100 men and maintained her virginity into her late thirties (yeah kinda rare how it sound but sound common for some type of fucked up limerence behaviour even for a bitch succubi) but still fucked up experience, i dont have much interest to read it in reality bacause you know. Its like a self-help book based in some reviews, maybe a wizard can get something good from it checking how she was as kid not nurted or something.
I have more interest in a book made by a man experience than a succubi one, but well, you know what i talking (damn feminists)
There's another book about by Dorothy Tennov but i dont get it anywhere.
Maybe there's somewhere a book around man experience but even at reddit sub there's a lot of dudes writing fucked up experiences like mine here.

Once you start getting heart problems you'll look back at how petty and stupid this is OP. I know you realistically think you'll deal with it, but you'll see your old self able to go for long walks without a headache and not being on medication and think "what a fucking idiot for not appreciating what I have".

I basically stopped being angry after I got put on blood medication because I realized what it was doing to me. It's poison.

It was also matter of technology though. When a computer is fat, squat, and stationary and costs upwards of $2k in old school dollarydoos (I don't know how much inflation dollars these days), you're just going to have a different relationship to it. The internet back then was a magical virtual space you had to consciously log into instead of it being all pervasive where it's everywhere including in your pocket. Normies were on Xbox Live, and even that was good back then.

I mean sure. True.
Still at the end of the day it's a demographics issue.
Even if you recreate the circumstances the people are just way different now. You can see this sites culture shift over a decade.
My point about the tech part is that you aren't just going to magically web1.0 your way back to those times.

Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

Do you rate beers online? Do you think about homebrewing? Would you tour breweries?

"We find that younger men reported in
creased happiness during the 2000s, despite stagnant wages, declining employment rates and
increased propensity to live with parents/relatives. This contrasts sharply with older men,
whose satisfaction clearly fell, tracking their decline in employment. We see this as suggestive
of a role for improved leisure options for younger men"

One major innovation in the mid 2000s was taking social interactions in general, and
video gaming in particular, online. Facebook, started in 2004, grew from 12 million users in
2006 to 360 million by 2009. Likewise, a generation of new video game consoles introduced in
2005 and 2006 allowed individuals to interact with others online.

It's argued that being chronically online makes NEETs happier, basically.

Im more sympathetic to real world fuck ups like a boat crashing into something. There's probably a handful of crew doing the jobs of 5+ people AND carrying morons/lazy people.

Lol must have been funny to see those boomers seethe, but hey atleast those ones SHOULD be in touch with reality and understand what it's like. In my country most boomers retired around the late 2000s 2010s era, only the youngest of them are really still working. Soon as they retired, that's when all of the bonuses and workplace perks dried up. My dad currently works at a place with an entire department of boomers that demand, and get their old bonus (essentially an entire paycheck every 2 weeks) meanwhile the new hires get paid less than minimum wage, something about them being visa holders or something, some legal loophole is being used.

Backbreaking labor being done for 10 dollars an hour by new hire, meanwhile boomer sits in office, doesn't respond to calls and sometimes uses the forklift after insulting them for being lazy, he gets 25~35 an hour

Having fun is really the only point of drawing. If you're not having fun, then why bother?
