I happen to enjoy old music (so old it's "public domain").

Anyone else with me?

PROS:

* made for EITHER wealthy thinking people (classical music) or expresses emotions, full of effort (light music, folk music)
* can be enjoyed without ads
* IMPLIES being enjoyed without ads

even Dr. NakaMaths (e.g. a certain inventor of diskettes, Dr. Nakamatsu) enjoyed "meditating" by blasting full 1hr+ Beethoven No. 5

CONS: so posh normies will think "you're trying to act better than you are" whatever the silly head tried to convey.

I used to blast it full volume in my headphones when going out just to annoy normgroids, when I was a kid I noticed that whenever something classical played on a movie or documentary that they showed us in school the other kids would make comments saying how trash it was, it just sounded normal to me. Never seen a high IQ person enjoying rap or a low IQ person enjoying classical. To think that black people were once known for jazz, rap is a genre artificially created and pushed by USA government to demoralize their population, especially blacks.

Well then I'm glad to see that gatekeeping isn't even necessary if this is the level of entrants we're dealing with. You can't even find the gate. Not that the gate protecting bad-on-purpose garbage like Evengelion is worth keeping, but in time actual good anime may fall victim to the "suddenly popular with gay emo normalfags" treatment and when that happens I'll be thankful that most of them don't actually know how to use a computer well enough to acquire anime.

>I think being "in the known" can't be a net negative
See that's the notion that I both agree with personally yet still believe is kinda jarring. On one hand, if you try going around without watching the most well-known shows that are so popular and blown out of proportion that people might give you weird looks if you tell them you know nothing about them, it might be tough, but on the other… There are far too many shows that fall into that category and everyone knows about them but that don't deserve that cult classic status and are boring and a waste of time. and I don't know if I should be bothered to actually put effort into watching them. What's the solution here?

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

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

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

Curious to hear others experience with this.

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

Haven't seen my fav energy drink ever for years, apparently it was discontinued in favor of meh artificial fruit flavored shit like Strawberry Kiwi. Looks like normalnigs have no taste as usual.

Look, caffeine only gives you a short time boost continued by hours of being unable to sleep.

Might just be one of the myriad of things from health issues to shit life syndrome, but I've been thinking maybe my small living space is affecting me.

Still live "at home" in a flat with my mom at 30, my room is 2.5m x 5m so 12.5 square meters. (134.549 ft²american)
With all the furniture I have a usable space of about 0.8m x 3m maybe, so less than 3sqm. (25.833 ft²)
Spend all day sitting at my desk anyways so whatever.

Been wondering if maybe this tiny space is part of the reason why I just don't do anything.
Do any of you have experience with living in a small space for a decade+?

It's not about being bored really.
I'm fine with sitting at my desk, my computer has been my whole world for 20-22 years now.
The issue is that some actions need to be taken if I wish to improve my lot which seem fairly trivial in the grand scheme of things.
Regardless having such limited range/space makes things difficult as some thoughts/plans you can't translate to reality.

A simple example would be needing certain exercises for improving ones posture, back, something like that.
You lack the space (to even lie down fully) so, since the option isn't realistic, your mind just dismisses the thought of exercise completely.
It is of course not impossible, jumping through some extra hoops would surely make it an option, but a much less desirable one than doing some simple stuff at home.

I do agree with the jest in part. Naming things, diagnosing things is fruitless. I should have tried to phrase/approach the topic of limited living spaces in a way that fosters discussion.

Not quite like this, but yeah, I get the general sentiment.
Abused kid, everyone knew about my situation, small village, was bullied as a result, like, major life changing stuff at multiple points in life.
Was a nervous wreck, never quite adapted. Never quite got a fresh start either.

I changed schools 3 times by the time I was 18 and always there was at least a few people who "followed me" as they also changed schools.
These people often weren't the bullies themselves, but soon enough they told my tale and presented me as a social offering to the new tribe if that makes any sense.
They used my past torment and my weakness as a gateway to fitting in themselves. So I never really had a chance on my own merit.

To this day I'm haunted, it happens at at work too if you are unlucky. Contrary to popular belief the "bad bully" wont be your subordinate and you the boss later like my mom used to say.
A loser stays a loser because of the learned behavior patterns and developed character. The bullies are socially apt, they usually rise up.
Ironically enough I had the misfortune of meeting some when I was forced out of neetdom. You can guess how that went.

>>305940
This here is probably the worst of it.
Life is just one eternal highschool. I'm glad to have read your post. Said well and concise.
My mother is the same as me and lived through much humiliation too.
When I was younger I didn't understand why she was so nervous about how we present ourselves, but yeah later on this happened to us too and now I get it.
In an apartment complex you can get screwed in so many ways if the others sense blood in the water, weakness or whatever.
If there is a pre-existing clique and you make one mistake at work as well, you'll suffer. Same everywhere.

This thread is for talking about OCD, addictions, or those kinds of disorders that ruined our lives
>So
When I was a kid, I had some pretty OCD-like behavior—I’d touch things and check them over and over until I felt reassured that everything was okay. I also used to walk on my tiptoes, which is a bit autistic, but I eventually stopped doing that (I don’t know if I have autism at this point bacause never did a test, but whatever).
>So what’s up with you?
Well, in my case is limerence (some studies say is co-related to OCD)
>And what’s that like?
Well, imagine a succubi (for some people even can be the other sex you dont like) talks to you and treats you kindly once or twice, and then you start getting way more than just nervous around her because your body starts releasing dopamine, serotonin, and all that shit. And since you don’t know what’s going on, you think you like her or have fallen in love, but its NOT.
really it’s just fucking anxiety toward a “thing.” Because you’re constantly seeking validation in some way—whether for friendship, attention, or love but you have this anxiety that you know is inappropriate, and if you act on it, the feeling of danger gets worse, it’s almost like you’re having a heart attack. and as time pass the thing got worst and worst and you get more obsessive, nerveous and get a peak of anxiety, even start to rumiate or have that thing of limerence (LO) living rent free in your head bacause your brain cant stop thinking about your LO
>What was the worst experience you've ever had?
Even you will end starting to dream with the LO and have happy dreams or nightmares and waking up crying bacause you are getting the peak of anxiety and dopamine,etc sec before waking up. this shit can even ruin friendship.
>Why the hell does this happen?
I don’t know, genetics, anxiety, depression, emotional dependency, low self-steem, negligent parents, love hungry, maybe OCD etc and a whole lot of shit
>You're larping this nonsense
but in my case, it’s not like those internet memes of bitch tumblr succubi where it only happens once and they use like a joke for love or crush
>You're a retard and you fall in love go fuk yourself wizard
No, no it’s happened to me constantly over the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

You limerance object is probably a poor person who masks it well or something of that kind.

Normally, people wouldn't notice but you can sense there is something off about the person. Wears second-hand clothes, maybe? Smells with many people at once because her jacket has never been washed despite several people have tried it?

You probably may pull a "if her clothes did not give off that second hand punk vibe…" rumor to remove the limerance object out of your epsilon-area

OCD robbed my adolesence and ruined my life.

When I was an unborn baby, I was in the womb of a succubus who had a faulty heart tube due to childhood rheumatic fever, was nutritionally deficient, ate poorly, smoked and did drugs (but no alcohol surprisingly lol), and was under chronic stress. My prefrontal cortex was largely underdeveloped. On top of that, she was very abusive. Imagine being a mother, giving birth to this fragile baby after nine months and violently beating the baby because it didnt immediately act like an adult. Yeah.

As a result, my brain is permanently hardwired to be mentally ill and retarded. I tried my best to exist, but its very difficult. Killing myself sounds really nice these days, but the pain of living gets so overwhelming that moving around is painful, let alone making the effort to die. Why does dying have to be so effortful? I dunno.

Most of the people calling the shots are hoping they can kick the can down the road long enough that they'll be dead before they suffer any consequences.

Flatlined as a kid. Too young and soft to have even been mean to bugs.
It was like an absence of everything, a long blink between surrendering to death without getting what that meant until after.
But my parents didn't ever have to explain death to me. I just said 'But he's not anywhere' to my parents when they tried the dog farm upstate shit, apparently it was spooky. I just understood, after, that there's only here, and for us, only now.

After death there is either eternal unconsciousness or reincarnation into some other lifeform

We are bound to an endless cycle. It will never cease. With your final breath, as your eyes close for what you believe to be the last time, you will slip into a quiet oblivion. Incalculable eons will pass before the universe inevitably collapses upon itself, folding spacetime into a singular, suffocating crush of gravity. And then, a blinding cataclysm of light and matter will violently reignite the cosmos. The great cosmic ballet will reset and play out exactly as before. This very message will find you, echoing ad infinitum across the ages, until the exact moment you are reading these words, when you will open your eyes to experience it all for the "first" time. We are bound to an endless cycle. It will never cease.

yeah i know about the afterlife
after death you simultaneously gain and lose a lot of freedom
your soul which was free in a way in this life becomes trapped in a way after you die
like if you only did scummy stuff like ripping off people and bullying it's this stuff forever, no way to ever become a good person
good people become trapped too in a way, no more 'succumbing to temptation' and shit
at the same time you gain a lot of freedom, basically do what you want forever without the pains of the body and sickness and stuff, must be really comfy compared to the struggle of the living, within your alotted place for your soul which cannot change anymore in a certain way

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.

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've been playin Fatal Frame. I'm still on the third night, but I've loved the game so far. The puzzles are simple yet enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, and the ghost designs are really unsettling. I was going to say the game is easy, but the end of the second night and the introduction of the Wandering Monk on the third night have given me a headache.

The concept of 'aging well' is retarded. You have a game, a product of it's time with all the good and the bad it entails and you want to rob it for the sake of normalscum
who can't be bothered to play anything that isn't 'modern'? Remakes with dumbed down gameplay, full of niggers and faggots are cancer.

I’ve come here to bitch, wizards. I’m an apprentice barely, I suppose (22 years), but I will be a wizard (for multiple reasons and beliefs), so I like the site a lot. Anyways, I’m in despair and will be in utter and complete despair for two weeks.

My parents forced my NEET-ish ass into university because they mean well and don’t want me to die on the streets once they die but not only is university/studying not for me but I’m on med school of all things, I’ve already flunked more than one class since I started the career like 2-3 years ago, so shit isn’t going well, not only that due to a stupid retarded class I’m being forced to spend two, I mean TWO fucking weeks with normies to do sort of stupid social work in some shitty rural town that’s even more shitty than my already dog shit town (not rural), I can’t even go back home for a single day on the duration of that, I’m not sure if I’ll survive, thankfully due to my mental illness (Szpd) I’ll probably be able to detach and survive but it’s going to be horrible, I don’t even like sleeping, bathing etc on the house of my grandparents (probably the unique people whom I somewhat trust and feel “oka-ish” being around outside of my parents and older brother), I might not really feel stressed, despairing and such but I know it’s happening, I just can’t feel it due to being mentally ill, of course I can still get the somatic part anyways, so my stomach is a mess right now and I feel like shitting for 5 hours straight, my hands have trembles a bit too, it’s like I’m in purgatory or something, what the fuck did I do to deserve this ? I guess that’s what I get for being depressed and suicidal for years all the while still keeping up the lie that “I want to be a doctor” because I didn’t even think I would be alive to reach university or the career itself, nor did I have (or really have) goals or a job/career I wanted, it was easier to lie at the time and just kill myself eventually. Thankfully, I got better, and I’m even content with my life in general (which is the closest I can have to happiness, as I only get to feel emotionally happy here and there for a couple of minutes a few times per year), but now I’m stuck in this horrid situation. At moments like these, I kind of wish I could at least not be mentally ill, I would have found something I really wanted to do by now or would be able to push through this career even if it’s exclusively for the degree.

But such thinking is useless, I’m now sPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

you would probably stutter trying read your own post out loud in public, and it’s understandable since most people on this site spent years isolating in their room and lost any meaningful ability to communicate, being able to speak to normies without wanting to run away or shoot them in the head is a very difficult skill that needs to be practiced everyday to not be atrophied, most wizards cannot afford to speak to someone every single day, the fight or flight response is an annoyance at best and sweating or having a shaky voice is not going to save you from being beheaded by a normie anyways, nobody is going to give you a medal for making things harder for yourself, just take drugs and use any advantage you have to survive the horror of being alive, human bodies are imperfect, just because it’s natural for your body to release adrenaline in everyday situations doesn’t mean you should put up with it, just take the easy path

You probably should ask chatGPT/some other AI to cook a convincing literature club grade story on how horrifying it is to be a doctor.


Take 3 online tests to determine what kind of job you want to do.
Because, if youre afraid of blood and biohazardous materials (get infected once and you're in for a costy treatment)… but okay with being covered with coal and oil, then mechanical jobs are better for you than doctor ones.

 No.308578

Old people will form the overwhelming majority of the population in a few decades, so being a doctor sounds like one of the few jobs guaranteed to exist, if you're going to drop it don't expect to get a comfy job in the third world instead, unless you have rich or well-connected parents.

wizards, this is a truly important question. how do you tell your mom, or anyone else for that matter, that you are really not interested in whatever female they think you should "befriend"?

i know you're going to troll me, but i still kindly ask you to find a second and think about what could be the *optimal* solution. the solution that doesn't burn bridges, doesn't create bitter enemies and yet lets you maintain the high ground. i know this is not fully achievable, but there gotta be an algorithm or something.

my brain just crashes in such situations. it's like "idk wtf are you're even talking about???" i need help

It doesn't matter if it's factual or not. You could be speaking out of your ass or you could be posting peer-reviewed statistics. You could be defending succubi or calling for their bloody murder. What's wrong with the post is that this is the only place on the internet where you're supposed to disregard them as a whole. Can men not have one place on the internet to talk about things without sex-obsessed outsiders coming in to post about "top 10 reasons I love succubi" and "All succubi are shallow whores and why that makes my PP sad"?

I don't know if you're still here OP, but I'll put my two cents in: We both know that there's no chance that they'd understand your real stance on the matter, even if you did have the time to explain it. Therefore the only goal is to make them stop but not to dismiss them, so as to not hurt their feelings.

What you can say is this: "I appreciate you looking out for me; I'd like to navigate this myself, if you don't mind." or the adequate normal-speak equivalent thereof.

>>228030 is going to call this outrageous because we know by experience that following through with their "help" would only make things worse.

However the key word is "we;" normies like the people that try to get you to "befriend females" can't imagine things going wrong because that's not their experience - you simply do not share the same reality in these matters. They aren't privy to the things >>228030 described.

What I assume >>228023 meant, is that it's the intent that you should be thankful for. They do that because they care about you and are concerned. Keep that in mind, when phrasing your response. It'll go a long way.

Oh wow, you know so much about succubi. Sounds like you're… experienced with them, aren't you, Mr. Crabs?

My mom's oddly perceptive and realized my disinterest earlier than I did, though she assumed I was gay. I respect her enough to be truthful. She initially was sad about no grandkids and worried I'd been molested at some point but she's accepted I'm naturally a mental mutant in different ways than her. The older she gets the more she's glad she has a 24/7 quasimodo butler who enjoys 80% of the media she does.
So, if you decide to be truthful, try reframing it along those lines. Emphasize you telling her the truth is you wanting to be honest out of respect for all she's done as a mother. Female relatives are more accepting of family freaks if they think you respect them as equals.

 No.228882

>>228855
>but not to dismiss them, so as to not hurt their feelings
i am no longer sure i care about their feelings what i care about is constructing the most optimal response, the perfect social mask that will allow me to handle normies in the most efficient way possible, so that i get them to fuck off my way with the minimal possible effort
>you simply do not share the same reality in these matters
true enough. it still angers that me i am the one who has to model *their* reality and try to find an optimal response, while they just freely keep harassing me with their petty proposals.
>They do that because they care about you and are concerned
they do that because they are programmed to do so. if they cared about me i wouldn't end up a hobgoblin.
>>228859
that's great i should say.
>Female relatives are more accepting of family freaks if they think you respect them as equals
my experience differs unfortunately. i'm sure the ones i know would trade pity for me being nice to them, but i don't think they would be accepting in any way. i mean they would only grant me the most basic courtesies.
