greetings wizzerds, i hope you are doing good. i am currently in south africa for a holliday because i was hoping to find nice places to live in case europe becomes uninhabitable and unlike many of you i generally do not feel hatred towards the negro but i am willing to admit that there is truth to the common criticisms.

>rough place to live
>everybody lives behind automatic gates, high walls, except for the people in the slums, i walked through there which was nerve wrecking. it is very difficult to avoid them because there are always just few roads to choose to go some place.
>infrastructure is far behind though the most important stuff functions
>water could be drunk from the tap in theory but the system often is often brekaing down and dirty water comes out the tap until they fix it.
>no toiletpaper or soap in the library bathroom
>the university is built like a prison, security checks everywhere, cameras everywhere
>people give me dirty looks, they are way more scared of me then i am of them (thanks to meditation, i kid you not, i repeat i kid you not)
>people do scam me every chance they get, it feels awful and it is so obvious but i don't know how to deal with it i just give them more and don't mind but it demoralizes and saddens me
>guard dogs everywhere, barking all night, human guards everyhwere
>i have seen less then 10 white people in the whole town and they were all fat and dead inside
>there are a lot of aggressive females the same way i know it from europe but there are also quiet peaceful succubi, many of them wear the fake hair which looks ridiculous
>there is an abundance of affordable food but the people eat stuff that is very bad for them, a lot of overweight people

still my heart goes out to the the people and i gently smile at them. they did not deserve to be colonized by english people and now they have all the typical disadvantages of an english speaking culture.
the one nice thing is that the weather is real. there are no chemtrails in the sky and no strange looking mechanical demoralizing cloud formations.

just had a fun encounter. went to the store i go to to buy water. they did not have the big water bottles. muslim guy who doesnt work there tells me they sell them at the barber shop as i grab a package of smaller waterbottles. i say i can't go there because i want to be loyal to this store …

…and also i don't believe in barbershops as i slightly lift my headgear to let my otherwise hidden long hair fall out just a bit before i quickly tuck it back in so that the female at the checkout couldn't see who was busy with her stupid phone as the muslim guy and one other guy were laughing

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.

It's people who never grew out of their teenage phase who usually do this, when you're an adult with the mind of an adult you don't attach yourself into a piece of media so much that not only you're incapable of judging it for what it is but also in some cases dudes into their 30s and 40s will get emotional with online strangers for it, it's just a piece of media made for consooming like all videogames and there's nothing wrong with that.

As for overrated videogames, I will say TES IV Oblivion and Fallout 3. Both of these games are made in the same engine and have many similarities, most particular is that they're a bugfest far beyond any other game in their respective franchises. I will admit I didn't play Fallout 3 for more than a few hours before tapping out but that's because I found everything about the game unfathomably boring: the gameplay, gunplay, the empty atmosphere and the storyline. Fallout 4 gets a lot of well-deserved bad rep that this game also deserves, at least f04 had multiple endings, better gunplay and the atmosphere and exploration felt much better, it wasn't a good rpg but it's a good action-adventure game unlike fallout 3, a bad game.

Now with Oblivion, this one I'm 100 hours in and only have the DLCs and some minor quests left, for its time it might have been a better game but it lacks the atmosphere that Morrowind and Skyrim had, where every piece of the map is memorable and recognizable, meanwhile Oblivion's outer world is just trees trees trees. The fact that the game lets you tp to any capital city after finishing the tutorial is Bethesda's confession to exploration not being worth it. The dungeons all feel the same and they're usually just there for filler, Morrowind and Skyrim's dungeons again are memorable and recognizable in comparison, and more fun to explore. The questlines are alright, only the Dark Brotherhood really caught my attention but I haven't started Shivering Isles yet. Lore is again less interesting than the one is Morrowind and Skyrim, especially Morrowind. But my biggest gripe with this game is that the leveling system is so badly made that you're discouraged from leveling up, I just ended up playing the game in god mode to go through the game as quick as possible. The game has its charm and I don't think it's bad, just overrated.

>Maybe a game was good at the time, and your fading memory made them even better, but that does not mean these games are flawless masterpieces.
You nailed it. I tried games that old gamers(those born in the 80s) always recommend, just to see why they always hype them so much. Most of the time they aren't as good as the old gamers claim them to be.

half life despite being a shooter, also tries to be a puzzle-platformer. The puzzle-platforming sections aren't even good, at best they are boring at worst they are annoying. they take up like half of the game. I know Valve added these sections to have variety and preventing the game from feeling repetitive. Still you can't just turn a blind eye to it, if you want to judge it fairly. As a whole the game is just decent. Not this amazing game that BTFO modern shooters. Old gamers will have you believe this is a game you can't miss out on. They are wrong, you are not missing out on anything special if you skip this game.

Yes, Half-Life is a perfect example. Its main claim to fame is that it pioneered this sort of seamless narrative storytelling in an FPS game where set-pieces unfold and characters monologue to you in real-time instead of in cutscenes, and the game never takes control away from the player. It also had decently immersive environments and good graphics for its time. At the time Half-Life was a solid experience. Other shooters were absolutely more primitive in that regard, I mean look at a game like Turok (1997) and then compare that to Half-Life, it's obvious why it made a splash when it came out.
The problem is that when you divorce it from the time period in which it was released, the game really is nothing special. The graphical wow-factor certainly isn't there, and the seamless narrative stuff is something that's basically standard now.
I don't understand why people can't just say "yes, at the time it was doing unprecedented things, but compared to modern games it's very dated" -that doesn't mean the game is bad, or that you can't like it, but why do we need to build this whole cult around it where its immune to criticism?

>this whole cult around it where its immune to criticism?
Fanboyism. They want to believe that their favorite game is "special" for whatever reason. Timeless classics that still BTFO modern titles.
Deus ex have this cult fan base that praise the game for predicting the future. The devs themselves probably didn't try to predict anything. They were like "hey let's make a world where Illuminati is actually real and all these conspiracy theories being true". The idea of a futuristic dystopian police state already dates back to old novels like brave new world and 1984.

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.

>are you a fucking retard? repeating the multiplication table is one of the worst fucking wastes of time
Now you're just lying, if someone ask you what 9*9 is, you already know it's 81, not because you calculated it. Because the answer have been ingrained in you by school.
What sort of method did your school teach you to quickly get the answer if not by memorization? Calculating 9*9 as 9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9+9 is 100% slower than have the student memorize the multiplication table by heart.
>you never get to use in practice
ofc you never had to multiply anything outside of school right?
>much like with everything else in school.
90% of everything school taught weren't useful to prepare people for life. Still their methods seems to work, you still remember useless knowledge like who Abraham Lincoln was.
>because after some point repetition requires effort so immense that you're basically not capable of learning the new thing no matter how many times you try to approach it
Okay so how do you explain all the 20-somthing adults who get their driver's license? Since according to you it's impossible for them to memorize all the road signs and traffic rules by heart.

I hate that they sometimes refuse to say things outright. At work, I was tasked with training a normie coworker. It was entirely optional. The boss made it very clear that it was "just in case" I wasn't around.

Did this coworker say, "Nevermind, I'm good."
Did he go, "Oh, I actually have to do something else [make an excuse]…"
No. He groaned and rolled his eyes and sighed very heavily. At the time I didn't realize these were signs he was uninterested but looking back, I'm annoyed that he wasted his time and mine.

They expect you to read their social cues instead of just saying what they want or need. And then they assume that you too are playing this game and so your autistic apathy or natural monotone voice/expression/demeanor registers as rudeness or disrespect because that's how they are. Exhausting shit.

but then your coworker would be a liar, how would he justify in his own mind that he is still a "good" person?

I noticed that many normies have a degree of narcissism and thinks too highly of themselves. It's all about appearance and how they are perceived.
It's mainly a thing among normies who are nobodies. Those who have nothing going for them and done nothing notable. Noticed how those who brags and act cocky tends to look like average joes, while typical gym goers and actually successful people don't behave like that?

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.

All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.

Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.

The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds Post too long.

so you're saying the world will regress one day?

 No.324035

>>324034
I'm saying yeah, very likely. A globalized vertically integrated supply chain struggling to break from a market monopoly, with literal superpowers economically unable to condense the entire production within their borders, yeah, it's unsustainable.

A single major geopolitical crisis would topple that fine inverted pyramid of expertise and it'd arguably take another 5-10 years to scale back up again once collapsed, even if it could scale up again. And even if it doesn't collapse, it's flatlining. The shit about "specialized architecture" is just computing reverting to how it was before the silicon chip got invented and they focused on universal scaling. Moore's law is well over at this point and the 2nm-3nm shit isn't true for the entirety of the chip's wafer length, it's just specific parts and it's used to market improvements that don't exist.

Economic specialization is like an onion, one machine tool leads to the production of finer machine tools. This is likely the final reach.

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

I don’t recommend numbness at all wizard, mind you I am mentally ill (Szpd) so do take what I say with a grain of salt.

Numbness on paper sounds great and I used to wish for it back when I had a comorbid depression, so not only I couldn’t feel any “good” emotions (happiness, excitement, joy etc) I could only feel pain, depression, agony etc, but in reality numbness is a sort of quiet hell that I wish on no one, even after getting cured of my depression and getting to feel emotions normally for some time, my body eventually defaulted back to its primary defenses dissociation, numbness and such (schizoid defenses in nature) and so I’ve been living as a numb fuck for around 3 years now, I’m content and at least those few brief moments every few months were I get to feel it’s almost always completely positive emotions, but outside of those bright moments everything is nothing.

Now, you might consider that sounds kind of decent (especially if you’re currently depressed or anything similar) but its not, emotions are the primal reason for humans to move, by this I mean motivation, goals, desires etc, all of that comes greatly from emotions, sure cognitive reasoning will give you reasons for but it wont give you the natural drive to strive and actually want/act for things, especially since trough a sustained numbness you’ll reach a state where “nothing matters”, even if like me you are overall content and want to live as long as possible you won’t actually have the drive for that because there is no emotion to back that cognitive desire, when there is no seeming pleasure or enjoyment from anything (not even pain, or at least not one I can feel) nothing matters, and so you end up drifting aimlessly trough life, mind you I don’t have an issue with this because I genuinely can’t care even if I want to (I only care about like 3 things/people in the world) but the world isn’t made for people like me, you need money, and for that you need employment, if you want a decent job that actually nets you enough to live like a human being (the bare minimum, 3 meals, water and electricity, clothes, a roof etc) you will need some sort of training or degree, achieving all of this requires sustained effort and desire, cognitively I want to exist and live, but in practice nothing really matters because I’m numbed the fuck out and therefore I don’t do shit essentially, I’m fine with that but again, I’ll eventually go homeless you know, and if that doesn’t happen it’Post too long.

My condolences wiz. After a decade, getting that stuff done will be a weight off your shoulders I imagine. My gran is getting worse too, she has dementia, I think. Despite her having been a huge part of my childhood though, the prospect of her dying doesn't make me feel any particular kind of way.

That's the normal human adult male response. You can weep for the tragedy of an untimely demise that obliterates any hopes you had for good times together in the future. You can shed tears of joy and the good memories you've shared. It makes no sense however to cry for someone who lived long enough to expire naturally. Someone whose existence has become tiresome, and who can no longer create good times for themselves or their family, ought to have their life cheered as opposed to having their death grieved.

I suppose that might be part of it. As cruel as it sounds, it has become tiresome to talk to her on the phone and always having the same conversation. How her friends are slowly decaying around her, how her nausea is better/worse than last time I called, how cute my cousin's newborn is. And always the phrase that "everyone wants to grow old but nobody actually wants to be old.". But strangely enough, my mother told me about her colleagues dog being diagnosed with a terminal lung tumor over the weekend and that wrenched my heart. I suppose because in my mind it felt more shocking that this big, kind, fuzzy creature should perish all of a sudden, no longer being able to experience the simple joys of being a dog with a loving family.

shitty work becomes monotone, unbearable and agonizing and you are counting the seconds until you can go home. by the time you are indeed back home you notice you are too tired to do anything that requires effort so you doomscrool jewtube and play videogames for an hour and then its off to bed so you can wake up and spend another day counting down the minutes and seconds until you can go home.
yeah and money? forget about money, as a lowly wagecuck you are just as poor as a neet.

Nowadays everybody on Twitter who isn't working a 9-5 but makes money otherwise calls themselves a "NEET". For me you are only a neet if you either live of welfare or your parents. If your parents die and you inherit their money you aren't a neet anymore even if your life stays exactly the same. You cant be neet and have wealth, be a landlord, cryptobro, trader or whatever, that is at least my definition of it.

Your definition is quite irrelevant because it's patently incorrect. NEET is an acronym standing for 'Not in Education, Employment, or Training'. It's not related to one's source of income at all.

I've been a NEET for 9 months now. I'm at that point where the boredom and lack of enjoyment of my hobbies is starting to hit. Yet the memories of how bad wageslaving was are also fresh enough to not want to go back to that so I'm kind of stuck in limbo.

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.

If you are about to get a degree you are at least that much ahead of me in terms of capacity to act and stick to something.
So look at it as a positive. I spent many many years going to colleges as a way to mask my NEETdom, but never really bothered since I was unable to focus on something I cared nothing for.
You have proven to yourself that you can force yourself to do things, or at least competently accomplish something if forced by external circumstances.

>I don't even feel like I have a personality.
This however is something I couldn't crack no matter how much time I spend with my thoughts.
It was something of a revelation to me a couple years back too. I don't really have a defined character like many people seem to have.
I adapt, I tend to mirror the most recent person I interact with or observed pretty much, but when alone I'm just a bland mass of nothingness.
It's hard to be something if you were never challenged, you never had to make hard decisions, you never did anything of note or got attached to anything deeply.

If a persons character is a sum of their choices, then what does that make of me, who chose inaction, who chose nothing at every step?

Not really a fitting place to discuss this, but I wonder how much of this is just simply lacking any goals, long term or short. From your short posts I reckon you got railroaded into some computer science degree because "hey he spends his time on the PC all day so surely…" or something along these lines. Just going with the flow.

Most normal people have a clear goal of self development for the purpose of eventual reproduction, then provision for offspring.
This key base thing is like gravity that keeps them on track if nothing else.
Take such goals/drive away and even self preservation becomes optional.

This is what makes me deeply envious of wizards on here that seemingly have it all together and managed to self-actualize without the most obvious driver of life.

I can't disagree, but it's also one of those things you just can't accept else the rope becomes the only real answer.

I'm just about 5'6" in shoes. Funny thing you point out not being a succ, probably got called "male" or "man" in a derogatory tone before too huh?
Wasn't blessed with smarts either. I managed to avoid major accidents, but head injuries from beatings and being born a month premature don't exactly result in the healthiest of dispositions.
Especially if you manage to inherit a bunch of debuffs as well.

I'm still hopeful that I'm some special wisdom / conclusion away from a decent life.
I recall one of the wizards was some wheelchair bound cripple and he seemed to be more competent and at least happier too.
I'm sure there are wizards who are worse off yet managed to get better. I'd like to believe I'm just missing something by being dumb/lazy/self-absorbed or whatever else.
Accepting that the reason for failure is something I can't change fills me with the same dread as thinking of death/oblivion.

>Reasons why I think my life is "decent"

I have some money saved up after a few years (2) of living at home. Perhaps 30k, some is invested, and I make 54kish a year. I do pay my mother rent at a flat rate of 900 a month, and I help out in other ways monetarily, and this is all partially because she takes me to work on the days I do work in office (I am luckily working a hybrid schedule). I have a degree (CS). I am slowly gaining hobbies, working on correcting bad habits, etc…

>Share some wisdom
Ultimately….. what keeps me going, in all honesty, is my lack of a safety net + my desire for worldly things. Not too original I know but that's it. I can't rely on my mom to coddle me because she kicked me out at 18 once she saw me attempting to sink hours into MMOs, and I had to scrape my way into college and that degree and rough it out for 7 years in a little roach-infested apartment, eating rice and beans and barely passable meat every day. I will never ever qualify for NEETbux. She will kick me out again if I lose my job. And I love air conditioning and the internet. I want to go traveling. My mother is "poor" (living off savings and what I give her) and my father is a dead bum. I can only rely on myself.

I also feel living in that shitty apartment and eating terrible food, surrounded by crackheads and old, old people living in subhuman conditions because they didn't plan for being old really scared me straight. The human body is so resilient. I'm sure you, like me, never thought you would live past 20. But here we are. Unless a freak accident happens we're going to see 60. We need to prepare for that.

>More "wisdom"
I also think you just need to get a GOAL. That isn't helpful maybe but goals really do help. Go "I want to visit [x] country before I get too old and my health starts failing and I don't want to visit it as a pauper" or "when I eventually move, I need to move cities, and I never need to return" or even "I want other people to see this idea within me – let's study art, programming, polish our writing skills…"

When it comes to spending, seriously consider if you need whatever you want to buy. Or try saving 50% of your paycheck and just blow the rest on whatever you please. Even saving 25% of your paycheck will build up fast.

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.

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?

Most anti-abortion positions are just virtue signaling political and religious beliefs, no one really cares about an unformed fetus getting aborted. Elites don't care about it either, they actively want to hinder abortions so that Temiloluwa from Nigeria can dump 12 useful worker units that will replace the lazy and entitled europeans and east-asians. Pro-abortion means less niggers because Tanisha is too lazy to put on a condom. If anything, I think that succubi who have undergone an abortion should receive a payment for all the emotional damage that they're subjected to, and that payment should last until they have children, see how quick all the genetic trash would willingly stop reproducing at all.

A succubus who considers abortion shouldn't be a mother.
A man who insists a succubus gets an abortion shouldn't be a father.
It's that simple. Don't bring a life into the world if you don't want to nurture it for 18 years and potentially far longer.
I'm of the opinion that there should be more restrictions on child birth and abortion should be permitted up to the 7th month, I don't really care. There are enough miserable people in this world as is. There's no point in having miserable fathers, mothers, and unwanted children.

How good do you feel you are, fucking tard? Privacy is not a skill issue, it's an existential one. It's a personal free speech issue which is by extension a suffering and a personal consent issue, because free speech is used to confront mass non-consensual problems. Do you consent to the greater "vanned for thoughts" lottery? Do you consent to spawning in fucking North Korea where the punishment is 3 generations of nigger?

Tried to convert to christianism 2 times after reading the Bible just to give some meaning to this life but after some internal strife my mind said nope, I just don't see what would be the point of so much suffering in the world being created just for muh testing, if another human killed your family and claimed that he's testing your soul would you take it kindly? Because that's exactly what happens in the book of Job after satan suggests it to god, the book was likely written by an atheist that hated religion because you can clearly see a change of style in the second half of it where Job just bends over and takes it, that was an addition by jewish priests.

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

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

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

I've been playing Darkest Dungeon. I didn't care for it when it first came out but now I'm enjoying it enough. I like the fact I can play it with one hand and since it's turn based I can take my time to read items descriptions, comparing characters, analyze trinckets, effects, etc. I like games that let me take my time.

Been playing Max Payne 1, and I think I'm gonna have to drop it. I played this game way back in the day on PS2 and then on PC at some point (like 10 years ago). I remember liking it okay enough back then, but it's not holding up for me.
First of all, it is not whatsoever compatible with modern hardware. The amount of dlls and patches I had to download to get this game to run properly is ridiculous. Then there was some bullshit with the framerate needing to be capped and the game crashes often. Sorry, but I'm over it.

Technical issues aside, I don't really like the gameplay either. To be frank, I think it's a poorly designed game. Bullet time is the entire gimmick, but with the way the levels and enemy placement are laid out, it seems like the game discourages running and gunning and slow-motion diving. It's much more efficient to just pop in and out of cover and take things slow, which matters because this game is annoyingly difficult with enemies that are very lethal (shotgun guys that one tap you, or dual wield uzi guys that shred your health within a second).
You're also always taking a lot of damage, and running out of bullet time which just further encourages taking it slow. Bullet time only regenerates when you kill enemies, which means that if you go into an encounter with a drained bullet time bar from a previous fight you can't even make use of the central gimmick of the game. Bullet time regen should have been passive, or they should have given you double the pool.
Enemy variety sucks as well. There's basically one enemy type, with the only difference being the gun they have. The bosses are just regular enemies with tons of health. Guns suck as well. Certain guns are borderline useless, and others obviously superior to the point your always going to stick to the same ones, and there's not to many of them in the first place.

I also really hate all narrative interruptions. I know that this game is known for its noir style narration and dialogue, in the form of those comic book cutscenes, but I really don't care for it. If I wanted to read a comic book, I'd go do that instead. Don't interrupt the main draw of the game (running around shooting dudes) with stupid cutscenes every 2 minutes. I find this particularly annoying, because there's stuff in the environment that you can interact with to trigger these cutscenes, apart from just the normal story cutscenes in between missions. I guess you don't have to interact withPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

They're going to remake it, along with the sequel. I think the games have a lot of soul, but yeah, they haven't aged well.

This game only got popular thanks to The Matrix. That movie franchises was really popular in the early 2000s and hooked people on the bullet time thing. Max Payne was the closes thing to a good Matrix game. The actual Matrix games were far worse.

…I'm just typing out shit 'cos I've got nothing better to do at work. There's nothing an accountant does these days beyond tapping 5 buttons every 20 or so minutes, and that's the life I've chosen.
Well, glad the posts aren't getting deleted anyway.
Here's the overall global map for everything typed up above.
As can be seen, Greater Israel is contrasted/mirrored well via Greater Iran.
The bantu expansion swallows and turns black everything till there's nothing remaining whatsoever. In fear the same might happen elsewhere, North Africa unites fully and conceives a 'roadblock', so to say.
India's a dangerous zone but will be barricaded and concealed well after the War in 2034, whereupon it'll no longer, in any capacity, have global relevance. North East India and Kashmir/Ladakh and Sikkim and South Tibet and just a bit more are the only issues after all. They'll be returned to their rightful owners, they'll be made independent, and that's the end of that. Many Indians might end up dead. Many here meaning millions. But, that's just what happens in war.
ASEAN will strengthen further to contain China.
Greenland will go to the EU since it'll be boring if only 2 powers are up in the Arctic.
Cuba and the islands therein will be part of Mexico. In this way, Mexico et al serves as the in-between of two powers.
North America -gap- South America: gap 1, Mexico
China -gap- Australia: gap 2, ASEAN
Madagascar becomes sorta civilized and nice via Chinese aid.
Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan.. end up uniting, and become an autonomous federal subject of Russia.
China's largest expansion concludes with annexing Mongolia.
Korea A and Korea B become KoreaAB.
Islam gets banned/outlawed in Greater Iran. Or well, they begin mechanically purging any Arab influence 'cos the Arabs will begin transparently making clear their allegiance to Israel, specially after they create Kurdistan for them by taking from Turkey's east which'll be a port foundation ferrying along whatever Khazaria brings, and so the rest of the world will probably not like that. So, Zoroastrianism returns.
Stuff like making calls to prayer gets banned. If people are to attend for prayer, let them know it on their own account.
Stuff like building 1 million mosques gets banned. You're only allowed 1 Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Afghanistan, all of Kashmir + Ladakh, Pakistan, and then Iran under one nation and flag. Pretty nice. Aksai Chin is made the sole exception, enjoined to China.

USA | EU | Greater Israel VS Greater Iran | RU | China

Camp A, Camp B.
A strives to curate Greater Israel.
B responds via Greater Iran.

Greater Israel is an addition of Cyprus, then the eastern portion of Turkey transformed to Kurdistan, Alexandria in Egypt plus the Sinai Peninsula, Yemen, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, rest of the GCC all rolled into one. Capital's in Jerusalem.

Greater Iran is an addition of Afghanistan, Kashmir excepting the Aksai Chin, and Pakistan all rolled into one. Capital's in Gilgit, Baltistan, quite the mountainous place.

Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan form together as one block that's then absorbed into Russia.

Russia thus borders the EU, Greater Israel, Greater Iran, and all the way east China, Korea and Japan, while at the same time hovering over Central Asia and Mongolia. Hahaha.

Greater Iran's pretty much mostly 99% supported by China, ends up China's only transparent ally, and becomes its barrier from the west.

The soviets transformed Central Asia to their own safe-zone. Failed with Afghanistan, but they got all the others. So, China will try their own version of this with Greater Iran, trying to make up for the failure in Afghanistan there. In this way, you have balance. Truly the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, it can't begin unless and until the situation with Kashmir is permanently resolved and India is sealed away.

This year most of my plants (zucchinis, strawberries, cucumbers) got messed up with the heat waves, tomatoes are really the only thing I have left. I don't want summer to end, going back to eating store vegetables and fruit is soul crushing. Not much money so no fancy organic food.

Do you garden? How long? What plants?
How do you deal with having to go back to tasteless store vegetables during winter?

Ha, no doubt. My garden isn't over but it's winding down. I picked the last of the tomatoes to finish ripening in the window since it's too cold out. Carrots and radishes are still going great and should have my final crop before first frost. Right now it's all about compost and mulching for the off season.

I want to talk to you about fate: does it exist or not? Honestly, I don't know. I won't claim to believe in it unconditionally, but I looked at my natal chart (Shoutout to my astrologer friend from the other thread! I know you're reading this). During this time, I've talked to magicians, psychologists, internet freaks, and even talked to AI. And, of course, I've tried to start my life from scratch many times. I've tried to find a job many times, but I've lost it. And now I'm 28 years old, guys. I just want to throw everything away. I'll be 30 in two years. I have no education, I've never really learned anything in my entire life, and I've spent half of it living off my parents. I'm literally a loser, a nobody. The older you get, the more clearly you realize: trying to start over doesn't work when you're in poor health. Let's be honest, many of us have lousy health; many of us rarely even go outside. Besides, there's no money for education, not to mention the strict regulations, the need to pass exams, and other difficulties. And I ask myself: did I even have a choice in how to live? Or was my life built from the very beginning according to some divine plan, a supercomputer, or something similar? After all, if you think about it, all my decisions have always turned out to be wrong. I constantly did the wrong thing, made mistakes out of stupidity or naivety. So, is everything predetermined? I'm still tormented by this question. If I were to get up tomorrow and say, "That's it, I'm leaving this life and I'm no longer a burden," I still wouldn't be able to change much. I won't become a doctor or a scientist at 30. External factors influence us too much. Does that mean that even my decision to change something tomorrow was already made not by me, but by someone else? And I just play out this scenario over and over again, and there was no real freedom of choice. But you know what's the scariest thing? It turns out that no matter what we do, we can't jump above our heads. As the saying goes: "Play stupid games, get stupid prizes" or "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Actually, I want to ask you: do you believe in fate? Are we really destined to suffer our entire lives? I looked at myself: I'm 28, I haven't learned anything, and I just wasted this life. I wish I'd never been born.

Thinking mistakes lead people to believe in fate.
They use a very limited way of thinking and when several consequences come together they don't even try to understand it except "fate did it".
