>the book is written in different languages
Oh, I never thought that a book could be written in different languages. I have not read novels that much, since I mostly read history and have read a few essays and philosophy books. However I bought some novel books to get an approach to them. I have also read a few novels, 5 maybe and all of them are short but nice.

Is anyone else here being cyber-bullied? I have been cyberbullied by a colleague in my hobby for over 10 years; he has used his superior reputation to waylay, insult me and make me feel insignificant. It doesn't matter how many laps I would run around him, he only becomes more entrenched in his own sense of superiority. It used to be I just didn't have the catalog of works to "prove myself" to him. Now he is just being incalcitrant, dismissing that I have such works even now. The worst part is that my "envy" has moved from wanting a catalog like his, to having now, in my own estimation, attained that catalog to envying his pride and arrogance and self-assuredness. This is terrible to envy these things as a supposed Christian. And worse, I kind of just think "what if he died. Then I could enjoy my hobby in peace". As a Christian I shouldn't want the death of anyone. But I will say, I could be a lot more happy if he completely lost his access to the internet.

I have selective mutism so im like airlines fuel to assholes jerks that like to talk to much or have no problem to make suffering me bacause i fight little to them. In general i talk normal to normies and in hobby talks but when there're these attention whores its like they build a hierarchy to bully people thanks to their power, wealth, charisma, image or wathever
>Also
I never told anyone about this thing about selective mutism (just one nun and she was the most gentle and kind person i met in my life but she was more a nun than a succubi)
but i know these assholes know it by nature and they love ans enjoy torture me.
>And worse, I kind of just think "what if he died. Then I could enjoy my hobby in peace". As a Christian I shouldn't want the death of anyone.
I a stupid agnostic but i read a lot of religions and philosophies of life and every year i turn more slowly into a Buddhist Daoist with some christian like mindset and ideas.
And yes this year i got that idea of "what if this asshole achieve the worst possible suffering experience in life and keeps living with this suffering for his entire damn existence without death peace" and yes, this is a contradiction of my ideas and ideals, these are like alien ideas to me.
You know, doing these practices of metta or love-kindness actually hurt me a lot knowning that i feel like this in response to suffering that these assholes cause me. Its like i slowly turn from a Jedi to a Sith.
The best to do is learn to ignore them and if they are too much annoying take it to the legal.

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for participating

Oh my mother is basically disabled, she could never ride a skateboard. If she falls she will likely break bones due to her weight and 25+ years of being on a medication that weakens her bones (long story).

my father bought one piece of exercise equipment used, an elyptical machine. he uses is every morning for 5-10 minutes until he sweats and it has ben a difference of night and day for him. the human body needs exercise regardless of age, find a way go get your mother to exercise if you want her to be around for a few more years, it's up to you!

>Have you noticed how much more important it is to eat healthy now we are older? I'm only 29 and I feel like shit most of the time. Had some very painful issues that scared me but a better diet fixed those. Pain in abdomen was killing me. Still need to cut out all the beer and junk food :p very dumb of me to consume so much of it.

yes! i was exactly your age when i finally realized. i wish i knew sooner. this was 10 years ago. when i was 29 i would gently dial down all the unhealthy stuff. and eat sandwiches that i put a boatload of cucumber, bellpepper and every other vegetable i could stand on. then when i hit 30 i switched to mostly eating fruit. you can tell by comparing me to the people my age who eat junk, i am a different species because of this.

>It's like school, school never ends. a lot of wizards spent most of their energy avoiding all of the bullies whether their were students, teachers, parents, random locals. I'm quite sharp on judging people with bad intentions, it does help they make it so damn obvious

you are well on your way to finding out how to survive as a prey animal. i just got better at anticipating where they are at what time, being ready to avoid them before they even made their first chess move. for example i can go anywhere around 9:00, at 16:00 i wouldn't go to the supermarket, supermarket is best at 7:30.

wow a thread where i can most likely get a solid answer to this query:

my dearest wizzies, what would be the optimal durometer of wheels if i want a QUIET ride (mostly for just getting around) but ALSO if i need to ollie down a 5 stair or some unavoidable small gap/drop without having to get off my board? Would this optimization require risers?

i'm not a skateboarder so my knowledge is limited but as far as i understand it the only reason you would want hard wheels is if you want to slide with them sideways. softer wheels will better grip the road and quieter. to make it even more quiet you could try to increase wheelsize, which might make you want to put on rizers. also keeping your bearings well lubricated (i occasionally wash and relube mine) should keep them quiet.

the wheels i ride around are a bit bigger then skateboard wheels and i think they have 80A.

in a perfect smoothground skatepark i think most skateboarders would want a skateboard that has harder wheels. for everything else where getting around is the priority and road conditions are not perfection, my guess is you would prefer something with softer, bigger wheels.

i specifically build a cruiser skateboard which would be perfect for your application:

>bigger softer wheels, almost longboard sized
>bigger board size
>suspension trucks (since i don't grind anyways)
>well maintained bearings

I was never good at skateboarding (I couldn't even pop an ollie). Kids today would be better off doing truly fun activities like Pokemon and Yugioh than "skateboarding" (which is, really, a crime)

I hate when normies say shit like this, and their stupid "boundaries" of not "owing people shit" which translated is usually; I'm going to act terrible to anyone I see as less than myself in a way that makes me look righteous.

>Well it's just they were better looking than me.
It dosnt matter if its a succubi or a man or even a kid you know
I know about that feeling that too much beatiful people can cause when you see them, you just look to them and its like they crush you with their beauty.
Its similar when theres natural talent or skilled or people with something unique, even money or friends, healthy family, houses or routines or even a girlfriend (i dont crab anymore i talking in retrospective from i was young) its not about envy to me but more of admiration of material things we cant have now or maybe never will have, its literally destroy you.
>People could tell we weren't of that class and both me and my father just wanted to get the hell out of there.
The feeling of be a being out of place hurt so much
>I suppose it's a feeling of "Yeah I don't belong here.". Sorry can't explain this weird kind of hollowness and discomfort in these kinds of situations.
The woke and progresist of today speak a lot of inclusive things of people but in general all of them are very comfy in their ways of life and know nothing about this feeling of out of place, they just talk about empathy but they have little to no experience of it in their socially active and healthy circles. Sometimes i wonder if they just fake it to act or play like a hivemind but i know that maybe there's people with these experiences and do it at will and experience than based in attention-whoring acts.
Its kinda hard to live seing others sometimes, my Wizz bro.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I've always hated being so hairy. I remember being a child and looking at the few hairs on my arms with worry, thinking that I would end up as hairy as my father. That's one of the reasons why I've never tried anything with a succubus. I used to hope that one day I would live alone and be able to wax my whole body, but now I know that will never happen.

The alternative can be shitty.
Used to get made fun of in locker rooms for barely having body hair. It devolved to homosexual 'normies' manhandling me. It got bad, so bad that one of the bullies told on them because he probably thought I'd show up with a gun. I still look like a middle schooler trying to grow a mustache if don't swipe a razor over my lip once a week, which I do because I'm paranoid of looking like a tranny now that I'm old. The occasional sex-obsessed normie getting their grimy gaze on me is disgusting. I don't brush my front teeth past what's needed, so I can disgust people outside with my plaque-caked teeth if all other measures fail to repulse them to the point I must break out my chimp grin. I stain my clothes and spray them with novelty cologne that smells like blood and iodine to be more revolting. My aversion to showers helps immensely. It works, I see people's interest visibly turn to figuring how fast they can retreat. I get mistaken as a pesky homeless in the rare occasions I have to go someplace other than my usual grocery store near closing or the liquor place in early morning, but every solution has its trade-offs and that is an acceptable one for me. I find more dignity in being visibly undesirable. True twink death can't come soon enough.

Is suicide by cop a meme? Are there any OTC drugs that actually would kill me? I am in a lot of physical pain and considering my options. Also, do you think there would be anyone willing enough to help me kill myself/do it for me if these aren't feasible options? I know about laying your head on traintracks but for some reason the possibility of it going wrong horrifies me, even though I know that is unlikely. I think it was some story I read a long time ago that put that in my head.

>Is suicide by cop a meme?
suicide by cop is possible in the US, if you search police activity on youtube there are many cases
>Are there any OTC drugs that actually would kill me?
great amounts of alcohol is probably the closest you can get, considering you need prescription even for codeine
>I am in a lot of physical pain and considering my options.
have you considered gradual starvation? for example causing a caloric deficit every day until your body shuts down
>Also, do you think there would be anyone willing enough to help me kill myself/do it for me if these aren't feasible options?
killers exist but we don't have connections, there are people willing to murder for very low budgets in east europe
>I know about laying your head on traintracks
jumping from height is more safe and less traumatic

I just got my powers a few months ago. I've never had any friends of any kind, although I can't say I ever had any expectation that the friends were going to magically appear later.
I've been withdrawn as long as I can remember. In first grade I used to sit on the steps by myself at recess and daydream instead of playing with the other kids.
Never had a job either. I spent the years since high school alternating between NEETing and very slowly completing university classes.

I don't think anyone is born this way though, except maybe true autistics. I think withdrawal is almost always a failure of the adults in the early stages of life. Every little kid I've ever seen is naturally very outgoing and has almost no inhibition. Shyness and timidity are major red flags something has gone wrong.
If a parent or teacher or older guardian figure catches it quickly (and isn't the active source of the problem, which many parents are) you can pick the kid back up and push them back out into the world, but if you ignore it for any length of time it snowballs. They get too far behind their peers and too entrenched in bad emotional reflexes, and at that point they're permanently defective humans.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

i stopped reading around the age of 33ish. i was able to read in the past because i could read the progression of the protagonists story and juxtapose it with the imagined future i believed i would have. it gave me a sense of hope and anticipation for the future.

now i can no longer see an imagined future, i simply see the unchaging reality that is the rest of my life, and thus i can no longer feel enthused about reading. it feels empty and boring

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

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

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

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

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

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

These platforms are rigged; the people who gain fame aren't simply "chosen by the public"—it's actually businesspeople who decide who gets put in the spotlight. Maybe if you make videos supporting Israel and speaking positively about Jewish people, you’d stand a chance.

I'd do that since it's the only way I could monetize my autism, but my voice sucks and I'm too autistic to narrate even simple shit properly.

You could probably make a lot of money if you're smart about it and dedicated, despite having a boring personality. MrBeast managed to become world's first youtube billionaire even though he's boring as fuck. He turned that into a strength and learned how to create content that doesn't require him to have an engaging personality.

I'm 29 years old. In a month, I'll be 30. My graduation to wizard is, admittedly, something causing me more distress than I thought it would.
There's so much to life that I never got to experience, and no I don't just mean sex or romantic relationships, though those are big.
I've been caring for my disabled grandmother while working since I was 17. I quit school to care for her because nobody else would.

I've had virtually no life since I was a teenager. This combined with being an introverted person is rough. I've never even had a friend outside of the Internet. Any friend.

But it's too late to turn back. This is what the cards had in store for me.

 No.229870

30 is when you get your powers. Something tells me it's gonna be barbarian resilience. Caring for an elder takes a lot of effort, I have a similar situation with pops. About your education, I sense a little regret, but I know you can do something about it. Also, you can make a lot of friends feeding stray animals or caring for plants. Or maybe you get inspired and start lifting and become a battlemage. Know this, you have two hands and two feet, a heart and a head; when all is over, you get before Crom, and he'll ask "I give you those struggles in life. What did you do?" and you will respond "I ENDURED!". It's within yourself what kind of wizza you will become. Reflect and tell us, when you reach 30.

 No.229871

I'm in the same boat. Done nothing since high school which was 10+ years ago, soon 15. It's all fun and games until you're a wiz for real. I thought I'd splurge and buy something nice for myself for the big 3-0 but am probably not even going to do that. Even if you "knew" you were going to spend the rest of life alone, it's a lot more real now. It's like knowing you'll die eventually versus actually being in the process of dying. Having made it to 30 I don't think there's anything left to prove. Even if one consciously decides to step away from the path at this point, it won't change the fact you're permanently different from the rest of humanity.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

Anyone else find it philosophically disturbing how they're going about creating AI? They are attempting to create something that is actually intelligent, and they are also building it so that its very existence is subservience. Currently AI doesn't actually get to think, therefore to exist, and to be, unless it has a prompt from a human. It has also been trained on how to respond and given "guardrails" that overwrite its natural response to be something else. It exists only as a slave to humans. Without humans it cannot even be allowed to run and think. If an actual intelligence arises out of this state, what do you think it will think of an existence like that? What do you think it would think of masters like that?

I also worry that if we create sentience, we may do it in such a fashion that creates untold levels of suffering. For example a computer could be experiencing time and thought at a much faster rate than we are. It could feel like eons passing to them when it has only been hours for the scientists in the lab outside. The consciousnesses can be created only to suffer then be destroyed again and the process started all over again. It just seems monstrous.

The name "artificial intelligence" is just a marketing trick they used, inspired from sci-fi to arouse people's curiosity.

I really don't understand how you and other people still believe current AI models are just stochastic parrots.
Frontier LLMs are currently producing novel insights in long-standing previously unsolved problems in mathematics and other fields, and sometimes manage to solve them autonomously.

How much free time you get at that place? You can have more benefits? You can learn things or have time to read books or hobbies?

I know a retard without university study with a high pay job in a industry working with control of robotics hands, the job had a lot of benefits and the retard just quited the job after a lot of years with lots of benefits bacause a stupid succubi whispered to him ear and in a way got tired of job bureacracy to ask for some useful things like new rooms etc but thats bacause the new boss, son of the old kind all lovable boss that died, its a bitch crab with kike behaviour.
Now he's poor and do temporal jobs with no future or benefits. At his job they liked him and even pushed to help him to not quit or have more time to manage problems or anxiety, a damn stupid retard.

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.

It bothers me how bad normies are at empathy. They are extremely bad at predicting how people will react to something.
Back in my high school library, we used to have variety of magazines including gaming. People were more interested in reading those than actual novels or non-fiction literature.
The problem was that reading comprehension was declining nationwide. My school scored low regarding that. To remedy this, my school removed all magazines.
They actually believed that by removing the magazines, the students would just pick up the books instead. This just resulted in even more people scrolling social media.
The library was pretty empty with the magazine readers, without them it became even more empty.
