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.

one more thing i do is i make sure to go grocery shopping on foot and carry it home without wheels. and then i carry it up into the 4th floor without using the elevator.

typical car user steps into the vehicle, drives to get food without walking, uses a cart inside the supermarket without carrying, drives the food home into the car without doing more then a few hundred steps at most.

one other similar habit i have discovered is that i often go places on foot and then just run where i am going. just as a mode of transporting myself. i'm like the only one who is doing it as far as i can tell. people go running but only for exercise, never for transportation. feels nice and adventurous.

i am currently being busy reading Carl Jung and one thing young Carl understood is that people sometimes get sick because that way they have an excuse not to participate in dumb torturous civilizational shit like school.

he called this a neurosis.

young Carl injured his head as a child and for a short while genuinely fainted. he realized this helped him get out of school he unconsciously got into the habit of fainting to get out of shit.

then later when this had already become a convenient habit when he heard his father talk about him being a bitch always fainting and being a retard never being able to earn a living he snapped out of it using his willpower. his body would start to faint but young Carl wasn't gonna have it and he just said nope and refused to faint. dude couldn't handle his father considering him a tard so woke up at 3am to study latin grammer until he got good at it.

amazing story because i encountered subconscious sabotage like that many times in life. imagine trying to be healthy when you have all these neurotic habits. imagine trying to eat healthy but then your body literally cringes you out of eating broccoli because you are addicted to grain-noodles.

reminds me of this meme of a fat middleaged succubi who tried brussel sprouts for the first time and she would dry-heave from smelling vegetables and started crying. i thought of this as psychosomatic behavior but i think neurosis is much clearer of a concept because it includes the knowledge of consciousness.

made a spectacular deal and bought a used e-ink ebook reader for 35€. it was made ~2011 and it is a joy to use! i've wanted one of those ever since the first kindle came out.

i use it to display .txt files, which works flawlessly. i can adjust the text size to my liking and i was even able to change the font to open-dyslexic, which i very much like. i have not even looked at the other fonts, there are probably other nice ones available.

there is this other file format that i don't hate called .epub and besides working similar to a .txt file it can also have pictures in it, which i was surprised to learn that the little device can display. when the epub file has a cover, the cover of what i am currently reading is displayed on the sleep screen; that was a pleasant surprise for me. it may be black and white but it is still plenty detailled!

the display is just pleasant to look at no matter the time of day. at night i can turn on the backlite with the press of one button next to the standby slider. i wish the minimum brightness was just the tiniest bitter lower but it is still ok.

what amazed me the most is using it in the sun. i had no idea how much i was craving a way to use technology in the sun. try using an old laptop in direct warm sunlight, or even just a phone with it's modern display. it sucks! not only will the sun help it to overheat, it requires also for the display to be turned bright all the way to see anything which makes it even hotter and uses more battery.

to sit in direct sunlight with an ebook reader, soaking up the rare few sunrays finding their way through the artificial aluminum-clouds is the answer i have been looking for … for over a decade. for the longest time i had no answer to the question of how i even like to read. it was always uncomfortable. how to read comfortable? with a cheap ebook reader using an e-ink display in the sun. solves 2 problems at once. the problem of how to get more sun and how to even read; i think that's cool.

in other news i've had my last unhealthy food a few days ago and now all i eat is good food no matter how strong the temptation; i've done this before but never with the intend of doing it permanently. after so many temporary experiments i thought it was time. now just a few days later i remembered that my poop no longer stinks and instead spreads the pleasant aroma of fresh vegetable soup. i laughed when i remembered.

i've been eating exceptionally well the last week. basically all i eat is banana, grape, orange, grapefruit, cucumber, bell pepper, raw nuts, fresh herbs and spices. the worst thing i am eating is peanut butter but it is organic and 100% peanut, besides that nothing else but tea and coffee.

when i experienced this clean of a diet for the first time, i was so awe-struck by the amont of energy i suddenly had that it basically just paralysed me into feeling stupid for now knowing how to use it. now i still feel somewhat dumb and unable to wield this much energy but i am getting better at it and i invented something like a timeplanner that helps me use it more but i still feel like a novice.

the hard part is people can tell something is up with me and they feel incredible attracted and want to meet me and act out all the theater and disgraceful non-mutual meeting rituals. i am constantly being entrapped by ugly people who just refuse to care that they don't make me feel like i make them feel. i am a wizzard hermit so i don't like attention and when people give it to me, drop everything they do to stare at me or take video of me like i was a zoo animal, it annoys me so i have to be extra mindful of not displaying any sign of health or strentgh around people and basically pretend i am just a weird looking frail old man even though i feel like a god. the stronger i get, the more of my energy i have to spend in pretending like am weird or i literally can not walk down the street without someone blocking my path hoping i can be their missing puzzle piece.

What is the average wizard's relationship with religion like? No religious person has ever been able to give me a good argument for why God, if he is out there, is not the most maximally evil being in the universe simply by the virtue of creating suffering when he could have chosen not to. Saying "suffering builds character" and derivatives of is just a manifestation of their stockholm syndrome for this vile entity

It depends on what free will means. As I understood of what I read, we are free to follow our will, but our will is not free from God's influence. Ultimately, we don't have free will, but in practicality we do.

I'm short, usually when I go to the inner city I wear a hoodie and always have my old school backpack filled with stuff I might need, or in case I need to carry something home that I buy.

Usually in this region some classes require some school/groups to move to a gym or an outdoor football field or something so they walk through the city in a line with 2 people / row if that makes any sense.
Teacher usually at the front and at the back herding them.
So whenever they go the same route I do they just pass me because I'm slow.
Now due to my height even current zoomer middle schoolers let alone high school kids are taller or my height.
Well that used to be the case, but lately I notice even most young succubi are taller than me.
Idk what they put in the zoomers school lunch if they still get any.
Well anyways…

I had on more than one occasion been mistaken by teachers as a straggler kid.
At one point one succubus just shouted at me "don't fall behind" and grabbed me by my arm at or under my elbow and started dragging me.
Then she looked back and got visibly shaken seeing my patchy unkempt beard and whatever else I shan't describe.
Her face was like 30cm away from mine at that point too.
I reckon a haunting memory for her as well.

Not only do I have to suffer a grim reminder that my body is full of ailments, never having experienced the spark of life and the joys of youth as I spent it all frivolously rotting away…
I also have to suffer such humiliation because of an underdeveloped body.

Just turning 30 in 2 months and same here.
I quit caffeine after a bp emergency a year ago too.

I worry about sustaining myself in the future since I can't really do labor jobs and the world looks kinda grim.
Not really sure how I will go about finding my next job if this inevitably goes away eventually. Hope I can still last a year or two here.
This is the worst part of being a wizard I think.

Normies have their families and friends too that check on them and people they can rely on like kids after their decline.
I have a pretty fucked back and neck, especially the neck part.
One of my fears is that if the herniated disc slips and I end up paralyzed nobody will even find me until I starve to death or rot in my own piss before I pass…
I set up this "hey google" spyware thing just in case such a thing happens. It can make a call at least.

Do you plan to end things if you can no longer sustain yourself or will you just go homeless and see how that goes? I don't have the balls to even think of dying for too much myself.

Oddly enough I'm also mostly at peace with what I got and what my life amounted to. It's just that future suffering on the horizon is getting ever clearer.

raw vegan/non-alcoholic/practitioner_of_meditation here so i don't feel old and i don't look old. i still have all my hair, i still have my hair color, my dick still works, my nails are strong, my teeth are ok except one tooth, i still have all my eye sight, i can hear way better then i want to, my beard is thick, i still skate, i'm still thin despite sitting in front of screens or papers all day, no aches, no pains, no moans, no indigestion, no cancer, never tired, peaceful inside. when i fart it doesn't smell like shit, it smells like delightful vegetable soup. if i stood next to you and didn't tell you that i farted, you would wrongly believe that someone is making delicious soup and i would inform you that what has been smelling so delicious to you was actually my fart and you would proceed not to believe me.

don't waste your time on hostilities with me or being jealous of me because there is a ton of options you have to improve your situation and i hope you find some of them and can summon the willpower to manifest them.

I'm 36 and been NEET all my life and to me its a mystery how people even manage to get jobs to begin with.
back in highschool all my classmates somehow had university and apprenticeship and jobs lined up for them but I had nothing, then people told me I have to send my CV to places which I did but everytime I got a rejection or an interview where they already decided to reject me because there are apparently 5 billion other people lined up for the job.
I been signed up to countless job programs at the local job center and none of this shit has ever yielded me a proper job so all I did was sit around listening to some twat explaining how to write a CV or doing a warehouse wagecuck job while getting paid less than half what a real warehouse wagecuck gets.

Same, I miss having so much free time to waste. Now that I'm a wageslave, free time is too precious to waste on small stuff. But I'm too tired after work and I have not enough free time for actual hobbies. So I do drugs sometimes, I crave intense sensation to make even for the uneventful hours spent at work. The drugs lead to even more desensitization. I just can't accept a mundane life.

I wish I acted even more retarded when I was younger. Wish I was even more of a nuisance to my parents. Maybe then they would realise that there is something wrong with this kid, and take me to the shrink. But instead I allowed myself to get dragged into wageslavery. Now that I've displayed that I'm capable of working, the opportunity for tardbux is gone. But I'm not cut out for this shit. Just being outside drains me, and working on top of that - it takes like 110% of my daily energy. I try to recover on the weekends but it doesn't work that way.

Is killing doctors who perform abortions morally justified?
Most people would say it's morally justified to shoot and kill someone else if they're about to stab a toddler in the back.
So if it's morally justified for a random person to shoot and kill someone else to prevent them from stabbing a toddler in the back why would it be immoral to kill an abortionist?
If you don't kill the abortionist they will kill a baby
>It's not an imminent threat
What is immenent? Sounds arbitrary. If an abortionist is driving to their workplace where they abort babies is that immenent? If an abortionist is in an abortion clinic in a room alone with a pregnant patient and is about to perform an abortion is that immenent? Is killing an abortionist who is a couple minutes or less away from performing an abortion on a healthy baby and consenting mother not morally justified?
>Abortions shouldn't be killed because it'll have externalities like making pro lifers look crazy which will cause more babies to die

Where's the evidence of this? Someone else could just say that the fact that anti abortion/pro life violence is so incredibly extremely rare is good evidence pro lifers don't consider abortion to be murder and pro life ideology should not be taken seriously. If abortionists were murdered more often more people might be more willing to take seriously the idea that abortion is truly murder.

Also this is utilitarian thinking which most pro lifers (especially religious ones) don't normally use in other circumstances but now choose to cherry pick when they'll use it? What about choosing to die rather than kiss a Quran? What about choosing to die instead of denouncing Jesus? What about spending ten thousand dollars on a vacation to the Caribbean instead of donating ten thousand dollars to against malaria foundation to save the life of at least one child under 5?
Pro lifers choose to be utilitarians all the sudden?

Another problem with this utilitarian line of thinking is I find it hard to believe both utilitarianism is true and God is real at the same time. If God is real and utilitarianism is true then why is there so much sufPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

i agree that abortion is horrible but one thing i never hear discussed is that being an unwanted child sucks. lots of people are genuinely too dumb and irresponsible to have children so even if you are a wanted child by dumb people, live is likely gonna suck for a long time until you can make your own decisions, at which point it is likely too late to have a nice life because bad habits are still installed.

imagine being born to dumb parents AND ON TOP OF THAT BEING UNWANTED. that's awful. abortion is horrible for a short while but being an unwanted child is horrible for a long time and drags down a lot of other people.

anti-abortion people to my knowledge never recognized this.

idk, maybe its just a bad day, but some days i wonder if my improvement is just a small hill in an overall downhill trend. I'm not any more organized, in shape, social, or nicer than i was before. I've been genuinely happy but do I deserve it? Have I just been distracting myself? I have crippling Pure-OCD so I really can't tell which thoughts are my own, maybe this whole post is a pure-o delusion. Or maybe it's not and i need to face the music.

I just wish i could stop thinking, pure-o makes you just constantly think up scenarios ad nauseum. I can't trust anything my brain says unless i stop everything i'm doing to stabilize myself and focus in on my thoughts and even then it doesnt always work. There are issues i deal with that i have no idea are even real or not. I have always perceived myself as moderately autistic to the point where atleast socially it makes life more difficult, but what if all of the symptoms are just overreactions and fear from pure o. There are days where i cant feel a god damned thing, it gets so numb and my vision goes blurry and i get dizzy and my memory starts cutting from scene to scene. I ask myself am i dead? I feel dead, i dont feel alive, this feels like some post mortum dream or purgatory, there isnt an ounce in my body in body that feels alive.

But is that Cotard's syndrome? I don't believe the sensations but they feel so uncannily real, its unbearable. How could I ever tell if its Cotard's or Pure-O obsessing over anhedonia? Does it even matter? Is me writing this whole rant just an ocd compulsion?

I don't know where im going with this, I was gonna talk about how I wanna kill myself again but idk, maybe cus i just took an edible and its starting to kick in or typing this out was cathartic but whatever. it doesn't matter

do you partake in drugs and alcohol? or psycho-active "medication"? if so, you most likely have substance-induced brain damage of some kind. unless you're just exaggerating to be poetic. ah, i see now - "i just took an edible" - just like i thought.

the thing about mental illness, is that the first layer is caused by a natural reaction to an unjust world that you're cognitively, physically, socially, economically etc. unequipped to deal with. because of this LACK, you develop symptoms in order to cope i.e. withdrawal, excessive worrying, magical thinking, perceptual biases of all kinds… other people, rather than giving you what you lack or fixing this goddamn world, they give you drugs that calm you down and make you tolerate your own negative reactions to the external world or numb you so completely that you don't feel a thing. the first trauma caused by being "treated" is usually a distrust of your own faculties, you no longer trust your own perception, thoughts, emotions etc. because they have been deemed as problematic by authority figures around you.

example:
being nervous around other people is ABNORMAL because of course no one would ever hurt you (reality is that the social world is quite dangerous and people do evil things out of pure boredom), so little timmy should just IGNORE his own instincts and go out there in the, ironically, quite dangerous world with no DEFENCES, and then if something bad happens, they either imagined it or it was their "over-sensitivity".

at this point, it might be hard to tell which are the natural reactions to the world and which are second-tier traumas caused by the "treatment". if substances are involved, then you might even have physical changes (read: damage) to your brain that can cause all kinds of problems on top of your existing suffering. of course, there are no refunds, the tape writer on your brain only goes forward so you can't unlearn things anymore, and physical changes are permanent.

so yeah, improvement is largely an illusion. there is no fixing you because you were born with an inherent lack, thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I could never make the move to discord, never could embrace social media. I just couldn't make the jump. Couldn't accept such permanence to everything I'd post.
Most importantly, I couldn't accept giving people so much access to me(?) if that makes any sense.
I hated mobile phones after I got them to the point it was known within family that they'd never call me directly but would call my mom instead since I'd never pick it up.
I just can't be "connected" and "available" 24/7. I don't have the bandwidth.

I mention discord specifically because I do feel like the youth that started with it as their "online connection tool of choice" are a different breed entirely.
Then again, I'm sure for many older people here my teamspeak mention gives rise to similar feelings. I didn't use it much either, but it was still noteworthy.

>Speaking of and to not make a thread just for this, I wonder what the future is like for the older wizards who have fully checked out, including online.

This is the only place I post on anymore aside from telegram with my one friend who is far away, but is a connection from IRL.
>Digital IDs
I'm worried about it too for many reasons, but realistically I'm too old to care. I realize I'm not that old, but old enough to know that this life isn't going to go on forever. It wouldn't affect my life too much if all I ever posted here had my name attached. Would yours be?
Perhaps there will be things I will no longer share on sites like this. Perhaps sites like this wont exist and I wont be sharing anything.

I'm not going to lie. I feel extremely disconnected from the world and I do desire some form of companionship. That is why I post here.
I don't know if you are the one I initially replied to, but if so, then you probably already feel like posting here doesn't exactly fulfill this vestigial need anyways.

>Could it be, that the dream is over, for real this time?
I wouldn't say so, not for us. Digital IDs seem to mostly be getting put in place where they can use them to monitor regular people. We are not regular people. I suspect that the worst-case realistic scenario is that we're encompassed by broad-spectrum regulation that covers internet traffic in general. Places like this are going to be dying out more than they already regardless of online IDs as fewer and fewer young people seek refuge here. Instead they're ending up on discord and, once that's gone, the instant-communication platform that's in vogue that year.
Those of us who remain right now will remain here posting with each other as other sites just get worse and worse in every way and the online IDs are just a normal part of said "enshittification".
The ones here from the 2010s that have not killed themselves so far probably never will.
There will come a day not too long in the future where the average age here reaches 30. Then 40. Then 50.
The older wizards you mentioned will in other words either stay here or get pushed into some other obscure corner of the internet with the former being the most likely scenario. I understand a lot of people here, especially the younger ones, are existing under the assumption that they'll have killed themselves sometime within the coming decades but most will not. The ultimate fate of us will be practically the same as those on the boomer forums where there's maybe 100 people writing each other every few weeks. And at that point the shrinking will turn into something like an asymptote.
I'm absolutely horrified at the notion of this site just disappearing one day. I know of maybe 2 places I might be able to sync up with other refugees but that's it. There's no other place with people as similar to me. This is the only place that feels like a home to me.

Perfectly put. Especially the decline/future outlook part.

I also feel like the Digital ID stuff is overblown.
I put in my ID for a lot of shit (youtube for example) already because I don't care. I don't participate in or consume politics in a way that would get me in the crosshairs.
What would a wizard care about such things aside from knowing how to navigate the world to mitigate suffering?
Like during covid I had distant relatives arrested for facebook posts… Why would they do that? Just read up on stuff, know how to avoid the worst and move on.

I just want to live quietly. I know I wont be allowed as the system demands you participate in your torment actively, but I can still avoid it to the best of my abilities.

>I'm absolutely horrified at the notion of this site just disappearing one day.

Yeah. In short I think we can all agree the Digital IDs and all those things are horrible. If you take a step back and think about the broader context it's just a symptom of what's been in the works for a long time. This was always going to happen. When was the last time a year on the internet was better than the one before it? The good times on Youtube, 4chan, forums and so on were never going to last forever. There's been periods of rapid worsening and periods of slower. But it's always been there in the background.
And when I talk about the decline here I also want to emphasize it's not strictly something bad. In a way it's comforting. The ones who will remain here are the truly like-minded (not in the sense of agreeing on everything, I'm sure you understand what I mean) and they're not going anywhere because there will BE nowhere else to go. We'll never be well and truly alone and without sounding to sappy we'll always have each other, even if just to call each other retarded faggots.

Posting here with your real name is going to be too dangerous. You will likely have your posts indexed under your name, all it will take is one crab to call the police saying you ruined her son (or whatever reason), and it is over. Places like these are refuges without having to risk being institutionalised.

I am reserved in my posting and my thoughts to the point I lurk most of the year. If the only choice was to use my real identity I would just quit. Nobody in real life knows my true self and having that out on the internet under my digital ID isn't something I would want

What is it that you want in life?
Sometimes I want to be a quiet wandering tourist in the world. Just read history and politics and watch the geopolitical events unfold as a spectator. A tourist in the human race, uninvolved with everyone.

I remember being in primary school as a little kid and being uninterested in playing with anyone. I just wanted to wander in my own thoughts and wander in the playground aimlessly. I sometimes observed the other students. Boys playing football. succubi huddled in groups talking. Not wishing to take part myself I just analysed.

Sometimes I wish I had some great talent to such a degree that I change the course of human history. Write a world changing philosophical novel. Be a fierce Nietzschean warrior like some pirate or French Foreign Legion member. Ridiculous delusions.

Live for pleasure? (Freud) Live for power? (Nietzsche) Live for meaning? (Frankl).
What do you do? Life is so short. I am 31 years old. My body is not where I could be. My achievements are not where they could be.

i am currently reading Memories, Dreams, Reflections by Carl Jung and your description very much reminds me of him.


>Live for pleasure?

i think it is important to know how to be happy and experience plenty of it because if you don't know how to be happy then other people can make you happy to get you to become what they want you to be. they then drip-feed you happiness to control you. in this world the desire to be happy, to be loved, to receive attention are all things that are used to trap weak people, which is horrific and demoralizing and you can't save these people from being cannonfodder but you can save yourself by realizing what they don't: all the good stuff is already inside you, you just have to look for it, it is not hard to find and then you become inaccessible to the corruption and immorality and soullessness that is used to turn most people into fuel for evil.

>Live for power?

the only power is over yourself. power over others is a burden but fools who desire it get so blind from chasing it, that they never understand that it is not what they hoped it would be even if they do end up reaching it; most don't though.

>Live for meaning?

that's the only thing you can do isn't it. hard thing to do, even if you do it, there is a good chance you just don't succeed. find a way to help carry what you believe is in the interest of humanity and do it i guess. leave the place better then you have found it.

>What do you do?

didn't come out good. what i meant was time keeps flying by faster and faster but when you remain open to learn new stuff, you can slow it down. time is way more rubbery then people seem to have grasped. when i skate and i am about to fall, then time slows down to one frame per second and i have like an eternity to come up with a way how to fall down elegantly without breaking anything. true story.

So I here just wanted to say I got done reading a book written in a foreign language dated from about 700 years ago which caused me to feel like I had been submerged backwards in time so that now when I am returned to the affairs of the modern day through contact with this website I am reborn in my mind at imagining what men from the late 1300s-1400s being restored to this earth would have thought at witnessing the current corrupted state of information and knowledge and politics and wars and species of belligerent tricks like fake pandemics and fiat money and false flag attacks and all the other lesser kindred classes of deception under which humanity has suffered owing to the fact that we have since become enslaved by venetian jews. It was quite the feeling I had; just imagine telling someone from 1350 that judeomasonic occultists will have by the year 1969 convinced the greater generality of mankind that they are moving around the sun on the surface of a sphere in outer space!! Who could have imagined this; not even the original mystical-oriented Pythagoreans could have been led into the trust of such a dreamworld attaining reality. Or that (((Venetians))) will have successfully captured all the earth and after having realized shared rule over all nations are now busied in the marketing of ghost plagues because in virtue of this stratagem they have learned they are able to get depopulating drugs into the bodies of the dumb goyim whose numbers they've nominated as an excessive slave class meriting only of suppression. Who would have believed that one group (judeo-venetian finance) would have risen to such a tier of rulership that they could orchestrate whole wars and fake pandemics between multiple nations mutually under their power and that they could do this repetitively one time after the other with total impunity for centuries on end! To view the condition of our current day (wherein all monarchies have fallen, all kingship has fallen, all true nationalism has fallen, all mercantilism has fallen, all financial legitimacy has fallen) from the imagined vantage of a man living in the early 1400s is to invite a state of total disbelief into one’s mind.

The last time I visited this image board was about a year ago. There wasn't much activity, and I eventually got bored. Today I visited it again, and I'm left wondering, considering its somewhat “doomer” nature, how many of us are still alive on this IB? I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few years, many of us are gone, not from this site, but from life itself.

The last time I thought about suicide was recently. It wasn't the first time, nor will it be the last. I'm sure of that. I know I'm not the only one here who feels this way.

Is the site's apparent low activity due to this, or this is just a very niche website?.

Well, I found this website so it's not all bad if there is some new blood. Knew about Wizchan forever, but I "earned my wings" only a few months ago. Site being dead isn't a big deal, all imageboards are now dead, even cuckchan. Just how things are these days. Considering how fucked in the head zoomies are, there won't be any shortage of new wizards, exposure to the internet from womb, and porn with it, fries the brain of the new generation and that is going to screw them up harder than we are.

Anyways, I don't really understand the whole talk of suicide. We are about to live in very interesting times, maybe we will even get a proper boogaloo. It seems there is a happening every other week if not every other day, at least pick a more boring time to check out. Personally, I am hoping to at the very least see the UK or some other shithole country fall apart in my lifetime before I go, maybe see the race war finally kick off somewhere.

Pretty much this. I'm from 2000, I was too little to use boards online when they were big, and they weren't as popular in my country. Today, there are more visual media that is easier to engage with. Here is all text and a few images, which you must have saved some in your computer to use them later. That is another problem as only a few people use the computer more than the cellphone. I don't know what wizchan looks like in mobile, but certainly its much better on browser version.

What's the difference between a wizard and a 30+ year old virgin crab, really?
Yes, obviously there is a great divide between the extremes. On the one hand you have the powerful wizard, unbothered and content. On the other hand you have the frustrated crab who humiliated himself with numerous failed attempts at getting succubi.
But what about the middle of the spectrum?

Never even once did I go out of my way for the sake of succubi. I have zero interest in dating and all the social nonsense that comes with relationships. Does that make me a volcel?
But I was never in the position to reject succubi either. And I'm not powerful or happy, I have not "found myself" or "reached my potential." I cope and seethe, and I do feel inferior to the average person. Does that make me a crab?

Either way I'm lifelong celibate, a male virgin past the age of 30. So I'm a wizard by definition, but also by circumstance rather than by volition.

Does it even matter?

i think what matters is that men who live close to succubi subject themselves to an abundance of limitations with undeniable negative consequences for your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. females construct prisons around men and call it a home. the average husband is a complete cuck, you have to search a long time to find one who is only slightly a cuck. their energy is farmed, females insist them to be cattle and then resent them when they turn cattle… they don't get to spend their energy and ability how they see fit, they are either governed by their female or they waste their life fighting their female. either way the female will be a burden they have to carry and then the female usually gets fat so it becomes heavier to carry as age slowly weakens the man. the healthier you live, the slower the weakening.

you are one of the few people who can spend their energy how they see fit mostly, i think this is the thing that matters. how do you spend your energy, how do you spend your time. husbands wish for things they can't have. you can wish for things and have them. you can create the conditions of life for yourself that you want. you can have a desire, a dream, a wish, then come up with a plan on how to get it, execute the plan and in case it works, you have the thing and if it doesn't you usually lean a ton which often comes in handy later.

it would be a waste if you did not make wise use of your time and energy and turn into a god in the process.

Recently I feel like the large corporations that run everything have really been dropping the ball. The end user experience for shopping at walmart of Amazon or wherever used to be almost flawless and you could understand how they got to be practical oligopolies. Today though? The experience is so amazingly shit. You can tell none of these corporations gives a shit about the day to day. They have some apps managing everything and they just punish the slaves when some app tells them to. It is such a lazy form of decay.


Anyone else noticing this? Almost across the board in every realm of life it seems like the system is more full of bugs and random failures. Everything works just barely well enough to still keep functioning but at the same time it's decaying and degrading. I think there's not enough actual competition anymore in society. All the power structures are set and all the lowest worms in society have wriggled their way to the top of them.

Asian squat also known as the primal squat. A common deep squatting posture that's popular in many asian cultures, not as an exercise but it's just a normal habit they have when resting or doing other activities. I'm currently practicing it as an exercise for mobility and it's hard and quite demanding, to say the least, but I found it to be an extremely wizardly posture to be in and master, and it's really benefitial. I aim to get be in the deep squat position for at least 10 minutes without feeling any discomfort so far my record I believe is one minute.

>Across much of Asia, the deep squat is more than exercise—it’s a way of life. From eating at low tables to resting in markets, and even through squat toilets, the posture is practiced daily from childhood to old age.


>This lifelong habit preserves mobility, balance, and hip strength—capabilities often lost in the West, where chair-based living dominates. Anthropologists note that furniture-centered lifestyles have weakened these natural resting positions, while in Asia, squatting remains both cultural and practical.


>Beyond tradition, the squat brings real benefits: better digestion, stronger legs and hips, and relief for the lower back and knees.

It's nice during the summer when it's hot, and there's relatively more privacy compared to having a room upstairs with the rest of the family. But you're closer to the water in-line and appliances so the humidity is higher that elsewhere in the house.

Determinism vs free will arguments here are really just arguments about how much control you have over life. The actual metaphysical idea of predetermined vs spontaneous events doesn't really contradict human decision-making or effort. People here just call failing to align reality with their desire determinism and succeeding free will. It's a veil for the class struggles between wizlosers and wizchads.

ITT we talk about instruments because I want to talk to people about it. It can be any kind of instrument and what you play or want to play.
I, for example, want to play the tenor banjo (something like picrel is my dream instrument) but the mandolin is promising as well, since it's the same tuning but an octave higher and I can play a lot with it (also it's easier to find and buy everything for the mandolin locally). For mandolins I like a lot of the older ones (oval hole, flat back or Neapolitan). They seem to have a softer sound in comparison to the bluegrass one.

Sorry for wordswordswords btw, hope it isn't too much.
As promised, the mandolin video. It showcases the oval hole quite well in my opinion. Let me know what you think about it.

>I'd advise you to be careful with cheap instruments.
Instructions unclear. I buy cheap instruments to just try them out. Either the most entry level or used. I bought a guitar this way and I'm glad I bought a cheap Cort instead of a good guitar since I don't regret the purchase now.
>In general, if you want to choose, you have to ask yourself which one's sound you like best. From what I've read, it seems to be the kalimba, but that is something you have to think about yourself.
I indeed want a kalimba. Additionally, I thought about composing music on my laptop. I remember some music theory but I'm not sure if I can do it. I really got inspired by some obscure game's OST to make my own music since I've searched far and wide and didn't find anything that sounds exactly like that OST.
>I honestly don't know how to talk about the ukulele without coming off like a bitter asshole because in my opinion, it's instrument equivalent of that "Live Laugh Love" succubus in high school who's a manipulative piece of shit to everyone, but she larps about "spreading positivity" and shit like that. It may be because people have ruined the instrument by only playing the same chords on it (and that Youtube apology video from last year iirc), bit I digress.
What do you enjoy/enjoyed about the ukulele? I'm curious since I can't think of positives and I know that there must be some. Not every instrument has to be "serious" per se, I know the banjo isn't considered one and I still like it for what it's worth.
Oh my god, no, not the apology video. It's an embarrassment for us ukulele players.
And I know it's a stupid instrument with a bad rep, but honestly, it's what you make of it. Uke is easy and I just enjoy strumming the strings and playing easy tunes when I want to kill time. There is nothing much to that.
>Also, what music do you like? That's a bit late to ask, but it could help you get something you might actually use and enjoy. If I seem like I shill the mandolin too much, it's because it seems to be a good choice for you.
I enjoy electronic music, actually. Either synth (but not modern synthwave, think The Siberiad) or ambient music. Maybe I should try a simple synthetizer? Hmm…

Okay, I downloaded some software and put on tutorials on music theory and I'm running into a very wizardly roadblock: I suck at it, so I don't even want to try.
You know, that shit when you are not immediately good and you throw your hands into the air and scream: guess I'm a talentless hack! It's over!
But I'll keep going. I'm not a bad music profucer. I'm just a newbie music producer. Heck, I don't even produce music, I'm not even a producer at this point, I'm somebody who dabbles into music on their weekend.
I'll keep trying even if it's just smashing random chords on a keyboard until it sounds right.
I'll do it, believe it!

>put on tutorials on music theory
Don't castrate yourself prematurely with theory and "what technically sounds good according to the book". Just imagine a nice tune in your head and try to recreate it with the software, or place random notes down and keep playing it back until it sounds nice to you. If you can enjoy music and decide for yourself as a listener what sounds good and what doesn't, then you already have a subconscious sense for "theory".

It helped me a bit though. I don't really think in "music" right now, so I have hard time coming up with a good melody. But when I look at DAW, somehow visually it clicks. It seems that I process music visually for a lack of a better term. When I play with a keyboard, I imagine how the melody looks in my piano roll and it all falls in place.

I am not in a position to move out and I always have to listen to complaints about everything I do
Its affecting my happiness quite a bit, its a good day when I dont have to interact with anyone for a day
As if I dont know im a failure
The complaining never stops
I was a Neet I got cried to alot for that, now im a student and I still get talks about finding a part time job the same way, despite me getting money
Its so tiresome
I once worked full time for over a year, it was such a bad time to me, I dont have the energy like normies do
The worst part about it all is my mom telling me I should move out if I dont like it
I want to move out very badly, but how can I when the few hundred I get a month is barely enough to live?
Even with a part time job it would not be enough
I dont see the situation changing anytime soon

they complain because it works. they successfully got you to wageslave and unislave. some more complaining and they will get you to marry some succubus and shit out some grandchildren.

the trick is to actually just stop doing anything and endure their bullshit for a while until they realize it's not working and they leave you alone. become such a giant loser that they completely give up on you and they're ashamed to even talk about you to family (that's how you get out of social gatherings as well).

I had awful parents, they "complained" about everything and when I gave in and tried to adapt myself to them they would complain more, gaslight, change their story etc. Eventually I realised their goal was simply to torment and I broke off all contact. You might consider they are'nt being serious and just want to bully you, I've also heard of other people having similar parents to often calling them narcissists.
