Searched in the board, didn't find a thread for /dep/-suited type of music unless I am terminally retarded.

So I figure out, let's make some thread about cool music you like to listen to when you feel like a human, like things are going like shit for you. Personally, I sometimes listen darkwave, sometimes russian post-punk, sometimes death or black metal, sometimes maidcore (ew, troons, good music though) also but not sure if it still fits the depression theme that much so i'll limit myself to darkwave unless given approval. Since I data-hoard a lot of shit on an usual basis, i'll post files directly, that way you won't have to use normietube either, i'll limit myself to one file per message for the sake of it being more convenient.

Hopefully it makes you feel better, to the Anon reading.

Also I got fucking attacked by a mosquito, fuck summer, lul.

I don't know what you're talking about, but OG maidcore musicians were just regular guys from the Russian internet who used Nijiura Maids imagery just for fun and because it seemed fresh in the early '10s. I've spoken to Yakui, and he's a pretty nice guy. Despite his chronic alcoholism.

Just because they are russian doesn't mean they aren't troons or 'succubus in soul' (devochka v dushe) as they like to claim on russian imageboards. Some even troon out, there are boards like /fg/ on russian dvach.

I've wasted so many years of my life. And right now I work a shit job that requires way too much work for the low pay. I dont really have an credentials especially for all the jobs in my area that are like 99% senior analyst bullshit that I could probably never lie good enough to get into

I've heard of so many other guys with comfy jobs like night watchman or dudes who somehow keep getting vibecoding gigs from home even if they dont know how to code.

How do you go about this? I'm still a mage in my early 20s. Never got any formal education or anything. As my life is now I could probably rot away years upon years away miserably in the blink of an eye. I already have done nothing for the last decade. I even bought a gun to check out if all hope is lost

>As my life is now I could probably rot away years upon years away miserably in the blink of an eye.

but why would you want to do that when you can build yourself a nice life. has anyone told you that you are a man and that you can just make your life nice if you so choose? you are not a succubus sitting on a couch hoping to catch a man who will rescue her from depression, you are your own savior and the creator of your personal paradise. suffering is optional.

when i was your age i listened to a lot of self-help (audio)books AND NOW I AM HELPING MYSELF! THIS WORKS. may nobody talk shit about self-help books, they work. they did help. promises made, promises kept!

Canada got rid of the D-glucuronolactone in the original Monster and Monster Zero Ultra. How does this make you feel wizzies? Imo that was one of the defining ingredients in the Monster energy blend, and taking it out makes Monster not too dissimilar from every other energy drink on the market. (It was what caused that specific feeling of stimulation in your cerebral cortex that you don't get with other beverages.)

Also energy drink general I guess

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

Back in the day, they tried to match race with same race, down to the general part of a continent their ancestors immigrated from. And it fucking worked. I compared my mom to a photo of her adoptive mom and the resemblance is uncanny. Same hair, same eye color, same smile. Downright eerie.
My mom said she was always proud as a kid when people didn't have any idea they weren't bio family… Society is starting to do adoptees a disservice in the name of what? Not potentially hurting feelings, making normies wait a bit longer for a child that can pass as blood relative? Just stick to tradition and toss the unwanted ones of China and Africa to gays.
Adoptees are always gonna be fucked up. But in school I had a lot of classes was this black kid adopted by old, clueless hippies and that guy was FUCKED UP. Even I felt pity for him.
All children deserve stable, understanding homes. If anyone here really, for some ungodly reason, wants a succubus child around just watch Anne of Green Gables then be glad you can just pause her dumbassery as long as you want when the child shenanigans get annoying. Maybe go adopt a cat or dog or start a nice fish tank.

This may be one of my more insane ideas, but lately I've been thinking about becoming a "content creator" as a way to get money to keep neeting it up.

If you think about it, there are some obvious advantages and disadvantages that wizards have when it comes to content creating. First is of course unemployment. Only the unemployed can devote the time and effort it takes to actually produce a high quality video. Disadvantage though is not being a normalfag makes it hard to get popularity. It's not impossible though as pic related proves.

There is low hanging fruit in this field, stuff like playing video games on one of those streaming sites, but it is likely to be dominated by normalfags with entertaining personalities. What sort of content then could a wizard use to get views?

Monetization strategy seems to be important as well. Apparently you make way more stuff from selling stuff on youtube than you do from just views, so that's why everyone is doing affiliate links and shit. Discuss any monetization schemes you may have.

I think that if you approach this seriously and think about how to actually create content that is interesting and provides value to the viewer you might be able to use this as a way to get bux without a real job. Thoughts?

Okay, so which job do only smart people give you money to do? You're acting like the fact that normalfags are your target makes it beneath you. Normalfags are literally the vast majority of society and any and all businesses are centered around milking them of their money.

I think you're also taking a very narrow view of what sort of content you have to do. Not all of it has to be centered around selling people stuff. That is the biggest profit, but people who go to that well too early and too often can easily turn people off. If you are doing hobby related content you can just focus on doing your hobby and have a video or two where you review and recommend gear. If people have come to know and trust you then they will respect your opinion more and be more likely to buy it than someone who starts off just obviously trying to sell people stuff.

>Okay, so which job do only smart people give you money to do?

this kind of question is asked by someone who wants to be told a solution. smart person doesn't have to be told solutions because smart person SOLVES HIMSELF by using his functioning brain, the thing all the normies envy him for. what you end up doing as a smart person matters little because you don't need a lot of money to reach a very high standard of living so you don't have to pick awful high paying jobs that besmirch you. you can pick low paying small jobs that do not depress you. the people who need a lot of money are those who need to throw money at problems to solve them and when you are smart, you can solve yourself. for a smart person most problems are solved quicker then it takes for a normie to find out who to pay to solve it.

>You're acting like the fact that normalfags are your target makes it beneath you. Normalfags are literally the vast majority of society and any and all businesses are centered around milking them of their money.


i can see the corruption is already operating inside you using your mouth to repeat narratives as if you were nothing but a kermit puppet. milking can never be ethical. there is moral way to trick fools out of their money. passive income inevitably will turn you into the thing you hate most.

>I think you're also taking a very narrow view of what sort of content you have to do. Not all of it has to be centered around selling people stuff.


a few words ago you did not seem to mind taking the perspective of the "vast majority" but now all of the sudden you are fine with picking any perspective that suits you. that's a bit nasty of you and i don't respect it. apart from that i do agree with you on that. it can be possible to do this but for your precious majority it will be a torturous conveyorbelt into degenracy. being absent-minded in the content game will quickly turn you into someone's cannonfodder.

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.

The problem I ran into was wanting to trying to jump through the hoops and play the game, only to still get treated like shit, so I stopped caring. All of the social norms for society that they tried to drill into us in school I ignored since I saw no point. And now in adulthood the ass kissers get their guilded cages like the loyal slaves that they are while the sociopathic morons actually get ahead through nepotism. Same thing with school, I tried to conform but was rejected by my peers and also punished for not following the pointless directions over time, while the same asshole students who disrupted class could get away with anything due to nepotism.

Meritocracy is basically a meme. Unironically if they actually cared and enforced meritocracy, society as a whole would be better. But no keeping the cash flowing within your circle is more important than a competent workforce. Where I live, government positions are handed over to friends and relatives. The principal of my public high school, literally hired his unemployed friend to be a math teacher. He knew his stuff, but whenever he catch or perceive that people weren't listening, he would throw a tantrum. He eventually got fired after a year.
Pretty sure the principle didn't hire him because he was the best of the bunch. Rather because "oh poor bestie is unemployed, I gotta help him!".

>Barely any queues for buying food at lunch time, so I have more time to walk around exploring or sort out personal errands
>Most colleagues think I'm a super hard worker for staying back late, but I'm actually working standard hours and nothing more (the company never reimburses us properly for overtime anyway)
>Can actually get serious work done, and quickly, during the later hours because I don't have coworkers constantly distracting me with inane conversations or requests for help with things they should be able to handle themselves

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

Years ago I witnessed an actual autist, he wasn’t capable of living alone and was housed in a residential group for disabled people. What you are describing is not real autism but weirdness, I agree. A real autist couldn't even write such text or use a device necessary for writing such text without destroying this device in an autistic tantrum after it doesn't exactly work like he wants it to work. Autism as you describe it here for a fact seems like a meme and the concept of it being a spectrum mainly seems to serve the idea that pretty much every person in one aspect has autistic traits in them. That's not helpful as a concept.

Agree with this completely. When somebody is "off" you can tell almost immediately. They talk too much, lack social tact (and this doesn't mean social awkwardness or "anxiety" more so being totally unable to read a room) or you can tell in their face or mannerisms.

Any healthcare "professional" or mental health type person would label me autistic when the reality is I've lived an alienated and isolated life for over a decade and this turned me into what I am today. I was a happy though shy child, but the world beat me down and I had no support, so I became twisted and neurotic.

Put anyone in my shoes and give them the experiences I did (or didn't) have and they'd end up mostly the same, probably with some slight temperamental differences pushing them in somewhat different trajectories but all within an expected radius.

Taking it to the extreme, a child raised feral will display insanely "autistic" and "neurodivergent" traits and be gassed up with all kinds of conditions and labels, irrelevant to the root cause of why they ended up like that.

I actually find it very condescending and useless. People go through things and it changes them, a bullied kid will become insular and maladapted to his social environment because the environment to him is hostile. He will then display "autistic" tendencies. This kid, already feeling othered by the world through social exclusion, will be further othered by a label calling him fundamentally different and other and alien. Now maybe some people find that comforting. I find it insulting.

It ignores the fundamental things all people need to not end up broken and twisted and replaces them with a generalized label you can slap on anybody without any understanding of the root cause(s) or how society or the environment or anything else might be at fault. It's instead "you're fundamentally different, you have x, y and z, and here's some ADHD medication while you're at it. this is your life now." It's lazy and stupid.

There is an interesting push in general for people to assume fake mental illnesses that they don't have. The first one that got popular was ADHD. Every phone addicted Stacy started claiming they had ADHD so that's why they weren't paying attention in school and why they need you to raise their grade. Then it became autism or trannies. Lots of fake trannies out there these days who just pretend to be trans for attention and support. Sometimes I legitimately think people are confusing the symptoms of screen addiction with "neurodivergence".

I was shy. As a child I had lots of friends but it took a while for me to be comfortable and open up - when I did though I was quite sociable. At what point does that stop being someone's natural temperament (further influenced by parents and environment) and instead become a lower-middle third bottom echelon delta gamma west on the y vector quadrant foil trading card type autism?

It's not like I'm entirely repulsed by the idea of having some special-freak-boy label to rationalize my shitty life and social misgivings - but I don't find it useful. It makes complete sense someone in my situation would be the way I am.

It's mainly about intimidation, actually using it is just a last resort. I don't see how learning MMA would help me when most physical altercations I can imagine would be with packs of feral browns/niggers, in those cases a small knife is more intimidating than punching and kicking, which has little chance of being lethal, they won't mind taking a hit or two knowing they'll end up surrounding you and then stomp your head until you're braindead. With any sharp weapon though, either I go to prison for defending myself or I die, and if I die at least one of them will come with me. Casually being caught with a sharp weapon by the police is no worry, here it's just a small fine first offense.

>I don't see how learning MMA would help me
There's degrees to it. Learning MMA purely in a gym/sporting context (IE: 1v1 in a controlled environment) won't help you much in a street fight. But learning any non-bullshit form of martial arts will give you a decent understanding of range and positioning, so you're better equipped if you do find yourself in a situation where you suddenly need to use your sharp implement for something more than intimidation.
>a small knife is more intimidating than punching and kicking, which has little chance of being lethal
Against an untrained fighter, you can land a good punch to the chin or even throat that will incapacitate them temporarily (or permanently if you hit their throat or their head hits concrete hard enough). But that falls apart if the other person has even a little experience in fighting. And yeah, if I had multiple people after me, I'd rather have a knife on hand than rely solely on my fists.
All this being said, your first tool should always be situational awareness; you can't lose a fight if you never fall into one to begin with.

Stepped on the scale today and realized that despite the initial "push" from a medical crisis a year ago, I basically regained all weight I lost (minus 5-10kg).
I also realized I've been working for almost 3 years now, going to be 30 the same week I'll hit my 3 years of work too.
3 years… of wages wasted.

I don't even know what the fuck I spent most of it on. It just escapes me.
Still live with mom and all my necessities are taken care of she takes nothing from me.
I had a blessed opportunity these past 3 years to save up for the dogshit future that hit the world now and I wasted it on toys and basically indulging all I couldn't as a NEET with no money.
The worst is that since I'm an impulsive retard I mostly have nothing to show for it either.

Health is even more fucked then ever before since I never took action.
Rather every action that didn't prove fruitful or flat out failed resulted in my absolute surrender for another month or three or six…
Absolutely defeated at the starting line basically.

To get to the point of this thread. Those of you that live a decently structured, responsible and stable life, how?
I barely have a sense of time. Kinda like when I was a NEET, just instead of 12-16 hours of sleeping and then PC stuff I'm forced to work a rather easy, blessed job.
Once it passes I just feel like I'm teleported to the next shift until I get to sleep through a weekend and months pass.
Even chronic pains don't make me act much. What does one even do to live?

The worst part really is that so many years went down the drain and I really have nothing to show for it. Not even memories.
I want to at least look back on SOMETHING fondly when I'm dying someday.

i'm pretty sure that calculus is usually covered in two-three semesters max, so 1-1.5 years to understand the material well seems pretty reasonable if you treat it with the same time investment as an average university student.

also, polyglot takes way longer because even romance languages take like several hundreds of hours to get proficient.

It's not all survivorship bias. You miss all the shots you never take. A lot of people try once, miss, then sit on their ass and whine about how life isn't fair. Other people just keep shooting. The people who keep shooting their shot always end up ahead while the ones who just sit around and do nothing get behind. Mostly it comes down to having parents who can financially support this sort of thing, and having the right attitude. That's why you notice all the successful types are all the same type of ultra normie. High energy, always doing things, meeting people, etc. Survivorship bias only plays into it for people who are that type of person. People who aren't like them aren't even included in the same category.

This is one of the most medically illiterate posts I've seen here in a while.In the age of free information we live in this stuff is flabbergasting. Carbohydrates do not cause diabetes, excess calories leading to obesity can cause diabetes. Also, protein and part of fat also break down into glucose.

He is also belittled and ordered around by the Captain. At the end of the opera, he loses his mind and drowns himself in a lake.

agreed. virginity is just another marker. it's often substantial, not having any intimate sexual contact by your 30s is often rare, which is why it's a good marker but it's not definitive. you could be a complete normalfag but still be a virgin out of religious beliefs or you're just somewhat weird about sex but you've still had girlfriends. i don't want those types posting here, i want what you described. also, it's very easy to simply LIE about being a virgin but not quite as easy to pretend you have a different personality, eventually you will slip up, and we've had cases like that in wizchan history. admins and moderators that were basically sexhavers and they only got caught because they shared too much information about their life and it become very apparent.

Since 25 its as if the film reel that is my life ran out of film and it just kept spinning and projecting a blank screen.

There was never a sense of urgency for me to "adapt" and get a respectable career once i graduated college. That sense of urgency that grips normies and compels them to achieve, network, form relationships just didn't exist in me. i never gave a shit about other people around me or my reputation etc. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i don't think they actually wanted to have children. Mom was abusive and died, dad is emotionally distant and never seemed to have actively engaged with me to mold and shape me into a functional adult. he just let me do whatever, so i just lazed around and fucked off.

I have this instinctive laziness. I bowed out of any classes that involved math or numbers at all. Got a worthless degree. I'm 35 now and I've been working as an overnight security guard for the past 4 years. I literally do nothing all night for 8 hours. I just sit at a desk. I'm on the clock typing this right now.

I feel like you have to be on some kind of continual, upward trajectory so that by the time you're 30 you're established and at cruising altitude; financially, professionally, socially, and romantically. I did "nothing" all of my 20s.

I enjoy the simple pleasures of life. a cigarette alone at the park, a local pizza, good pilsner, good books, and having peace and quiet without pressure from the world of normies or my family

I feel as though I also had this weird sense of laziness during my 20s. I always had healthy anxiety to get things done, but I always thought things would eventually fall into place. Coincidentally I spent my 20s as a security guard until I decided to get a CDL. At 34 I now have this sense of finality. This is it. This is my life until I die, which I hope is soon.

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.

yeah i have noticed the same thing, when i exhaust myself a bit early in the day, i can make way better use of the day. i am in the process of slowly adjusting myself to getting up earlier to around 7am after being a nightowl for many years, i believe this helps too because the human body is somewhat of a plant and benefits from being exposed to natural sunlight. life at night is possible but i believe humans are meant to be up during the daylight to get sunshine on the skin.

i finally found a way to manage dealing with the flood of information of this age and be able to focus on things, which felt almost impossible to me. it is a simple system of textfiles. when something interests me i press a hotkey, simple script runs, which is the fastest way for it to get a textfile. then when i am bored i press another hotkey and one random of these textfiles from the main folder opens. why random? because it is faster then trying to decide when i don't have a plan. i tried systems of priority and accounting for available time, it sucked and slowed down the flow. when a random file gets opened, i write one entry with the current date (hotkeyed). i do this dozens if times per day. i noticed that this uses more of my brain, the conscious AND the unconscious because i get stray ideas throughout the day about files i just glanced at for a few seconds. i never try to solve a file, i only care about the next step, which eliminates most of my stupid habits of procrastination, overwhelm, gridlock, perfectionism, overplanning and more. when i feel a file is done, i move it into the discardfolder via another hotkey and a celebration video or audio plays randomly from the celebrationfilesfolder. i wish i had this all my life.

"Everybody wants to write a book. The end of the world is evidently approaching."

I think we all would benefit and enjoy a little bit of writing. Consider this thread as a meant to discharge and simultaneously improve intellectual capacity. You are allowed, and encouraged to write ANYTHING, on this thread. However there is several things to consider:

1. Good prose
2. Structured and well intentioned.
3. You are encouraged to treat this as an intellectual exercise, the proliferation of AI compels me to warn you that whatever you write here would likely be read by them for whatever purpose.

I find myself more and more at a loss for words (literally speaking, no pun intended), less structured, less capable in communicating, less refined. People in real life is degrading at an even worse rate, and it would be unwise to attempt a good practice of language with normies.


The general parameters stated above are standards set for yourself, the goal is not to be good in all three, but to improve in all three and more (these three are all I can think of at the moment). I'm from a thirdie country, and I enjoyed those reading assessment that requires you read those passages on random things. It just feels authentic in a way.

The Recent Popularization of Wizdom and how a Wiz can survive such dark times.

By Anon the Doomer (Random name of a wizchan user 6 August 2026)


We are living in a gynocracy. This is the thesis has been widely discussed in online circles for a long time. However the recent popularization of crab culture, especially memes about hypergamy in jewgram reels and twitter, has seen normies adopting and romanticizing facets of crab and BP culture.


While many online voices approved what seems to be a wider acknowledgment by the normien1gger public of the BP, one must be cautious that a closer look at these voices would reveal that they are likely to be "enlightened" normies themselves. This suggest either of the two:
1. They have never experienced the bitter experience that develop the philosophy of BP, and thus these ideas aren't their own since they never have the need to cope.
2. They are grifting and take from BP culture to generate financial and social benefits for themselves.


A brief read on wizchan reveals that this recent upsurge of popularity of their culture is not received with enthusiasm nor acknowledged. The general mood on the phenomenon is grim: We are seeing the gentrification of wiz culture.

We have seen how gentrification of various culture and subculture, previously a space for wiz and crabs to thrive, being invaded by succubi and normien1ggers, and how these communities died.

While we are facing the same prospects, one must remember that the nature of true wizdom meant that it is inherently individualistic. Communities, when such exists, serves as outlet and dopamine source echo chambers. A wiz can get good advice and information from these communities that serves to further elucidate his experience, ultimately however, a wiz become a wiz due to his own experience.

Do not deceive yourself. Whatever prevailing views take place in a community, you must be wakeful to not adopt this views subconsciously, let alone consciously. Such practice belongs to the unwashed feminine, a lower existence, not to the aristocratic wiz.

Since Japan has some sort of hivemind mentality where shame plays a big role and no one wants to be the odd one out, I imagine from the Japanese point of view finally getting a job and becoming a member of society is the happy ending there, whatever job you do should be fulfilling enough because you're contributing to society. I can kind of understand the mentality, Japan is a functioning society kept by harmony and social cohesion so you'd feel bad if your existence was a nuisance to everyone else, the West is pure individualism and since it no longer has any values or a sense of community the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame.

It is interesting how, instead of trying to fix the economic incentives to improve participation rates, the powers that be are cracking the whip harder on the ones still in the race. Which just convinces more people to drop out of the race even faster.
