Is the feeling of alienation familiar to you? Does it hurt?

"All my life, I have lived with the feeling that I have been kept from my true place. If the expression "metaphysical exile" had no meaning, my existence alone would afford it one."

It used to hurt when I was younger and less certain of myself. When I was still thinking that being alienated was something to be ashamed of and that the best thing would be to just be part of the crowd. I have some memories of being dragged to places by friends from school. I once went to the local fair with them and in the crowd I felt this absurd sense of being a foreign body, of not belonging at all, and it was the first time it felt like a relief or peace. Another time there was this school event where the entire grade was doing some party or another in a local pub. It wasn't mandatory to go or anything, apart from the clear social punishment you'd receive if you skipped out. I remember standing in front of that place, watching people I sort of knew and some friends enter. And then I turned around and walked home. Again, with the sweet and maybe a little twisted satisfaction of not being able to make myself fit in, of walking my own path.
I believe you grow into it as you get older. By now I am fully comfortable with being an alien

I never really understood why people like interacting with other people, like they even organize events in their free time just to meet other people as if work wasn't already too much. I just don't know how anyone can enjoy this as their free choice when it's not necessary to survive.

Looking back at this, Plato's Cave isn't an instrument to delude men or anything like that, but a schema by the Jesuit forefathers to unify Europe and assert dominance of the Children Of Israel across every inch of earth, both in intellectual domains, and physical domains. Every instrument is arranged and prepared to that end. And in the end, every instrument will suffice to be played by the Caucasoid. The flame, Europe. The puppet, Israel. The staff, Iran. The man, America. The block-partition, the Arabs. The bedrock upon which they all stand, the niggers and brown races. The supporting pillars thereof erecting from below, the Mongoloid races.

The Manchu Empire's original symbol was a dragon with a ball of opium in its mouth.

Later on, as the empire expanded, it became a dragon chasing after a ball of opium, rather than withholding/clutching the opium itself. The ball of Opium had disappeared. But why is this? The answer is because they had consumed it. The whole storage. Qing's ruling force and subjects consumed and consumed until there was no more, but like the drug addicts they were, they were chasing still. The Dragon wanted more opium. And luckily for him, India and Japan were doing a damn good job of supplying it.
Through the Himalayas, the intermediary was Bhutan, the other dragon 'passing' the 'balls' of Opium manufactured in India to the mainland, where the hungry Dragon resided, hence the flag of Bhutan.
Then there was Japan. Remember, by 1870, you had the Meiji Restoration, when Japan joined the ranks of Insana, and the entire country became transformed to produce Opium. That's what the Disc on the flag, authorized properly ever since 1870, represents. There is no Dragon in Japan. There is only Opium. Purely, completely, Opium. Even today, it is only Opium.

In 1949, when Mao of Yale instruction had completed his mission and proclaimed the China we know today, you had a blood red flag with 5 stars, one of which was larger than the others, centered to the left. Blood red huh. But why is this? Because of how many people were killed? No. It's because the Opium and drugs had inextricably become part of China such that there no longer was any room to chase after it. That is the 'red' of the Chinese flag. Mao had done the job well. What then are the 5 stars? Why's one larger than the others? To answer that, you must know what the Five Gods Pestilence are, for those 5 stars represent precisely that. 5 Gods from Hell birthed from a nation of Opium, one of whom is Shi Wenye, their great commander. Each 5 have only one mission and ultimate objective: destroy and plague the earth. Nothing more.

For the European flag of 12, there can be no doubt it represents the 12 tribes of Israel. Nothing to do with Olympians. But then, if the sons of Israel end up being so mighty and the father Israel is himself in a crippled state, antagonized left and right by fools, something's not right. Worse yet, should the children have no challengers, they will lead dull lives. I guess that's where the American hotpot comes in from. But the Father, too, needs a challenger. So it shall be Esau, father of Edom, the legacy of which we transmit to Greater Iran.

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.

All low IQ societies handwave things away with "fate". Here in Morocco fate belief is extreme. No matter how badly YOU fucked up or how many mistakes you made, people blame fate.

If governing authorities are incompetent they are not challenged, it's just something God willed. If you refuse to go to the doctor and die, it was "fate", not you being a retard.

Would this board be better if anime discussion wasn't allowed? I like anime, but this board's so slow that having any actual discussion outside of the anime review thread or the cute anime character threads, is basically pointless. The world of imageboards needs a place for niche otaku discussion, but alas, no site caters to such interest. What with the modern day youth on this site, there'd probably just be a bunch of Vtuber threads to take all the anime discussion's place. What does /jp/ - Japan/Anime, think?

In my experience, saturation of a particular conversation theme in any board doesn't mean that the board is doing poorly. It just means it lacks enough people. If you wish to have a conversation beyond anime, manga or light novels, we all would benefit from you making a thread on the subject.

I got a very sad event and started to write things out of nowhere, like poems and short shitty ironic funny stories in my language, even some are sad or deppresive or even dramatic histories.
Sometimes i like to draw calligrams.
I shared it sometimes with randoms or people i know and they enjoyed it.
I doing this now like two weeks and i feel kind calm and in some way at times little happy after reading or laughing at my shitty work, i dont know why but i like it feels more fulfilling than doing nothing or focus much in fixing my sadness bacause sometimes i even got some smirk or laugh of people seing my art and they looks happy to me and that's everything to fill my day with their little spontaneous bacon of sunlight in this abyss.

Again, that feeling returned, wondering why there was a kind of resentment within me. Memories surfaced of why things had to be this way. And well, my ego told me what my eyes had seen: that I was superior to the one who had prevented me from being myself.

I don't even have the energy to think most of the time. I begin to explore a concept, then immediately feel heavy and tired as I realise my viewpoint is worthless and almost certainly incorrect. I fill my brain with philosophy and arguments for this and that then just do nothing with them. For me reading a philosophical text is like watching a game of sports. In the arena of the book, I care about it all, but as soon as I put the book down I suddenly comprehend just how hollow it is. Symbols and ideas that another ape mapped onto their subjective hallucination of reality in an attempt to ground itself against the constant stream of horror that is sensory input. As a result I perceive myself to be a very stupid person. Surely an intelligent person would feel compelled to constantly reflect and expand upon ideas. But it just all feels null.

I've lost most of the pleasure my PC used to provide.
Often I turn away and stare at a wall or my mirror and just wonder how I used to exist before the PC.
Same sort of weird feeling you describe. I'm old, body clearly showing decades of neglect.

I'm reminded of my single digit years.
Back then despite the miserable circumstances just existing was rather fun. Stuff in my memories is so vibrant and I remember everything was interesting and enjoyable.

I remember I had a very good quality stick for years that I ended up losing in the woods.
It was a nice durable stick…
My very own excalibur I'd say.

Exhaustion is all that is left. Despite being a wizard I feel like all magic is gone from my life.
Existing wasn't a burden back in the days I think.
I really don't feel like I have much in common with the little kid in my memories. Such an odd thing feeling alien compared to yourself.

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.

Am agreeing with all this a lot even though I've had fun replaying HL1 several times lately. But I really mean everything from We've Got Hostiles onward (I happen to not hate Xen), and even so it's gotta be nostalgia goggles since this was one of my favorite things ever as a kid.

Pretty slow to start and really goofy sometimes, partly because of how badly it's been memed but also quite a few setpieces meant to be scary or cool are actually pretty retarded if you think about them at all, or just witnessing them.

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.

I feel like a lot of people, especially older normies overestimate the abilities of the average guy and the problems that are out there to be solved in real life.

There is this old guy I listened to for the past decade now called Eli the Computer Guy and he often repeats this mantra that a tech professional should go out there pick themselves up by their bootstraps and solve problems for money.
Solve real world problems for money. Provide solutions using your skills. Over and over again while teaching people about making toy cars with a microcomputer or whatever.

Issue is there aren't any problems the average guy is capable of solving that people are able to pay enough for to make it worthwhile.
Maybe I'm low IQ and not creative enough, but that is the point I guess.
The average guy that got a CS or engineering degree and is now doing menial tasks at a big corporation isn't going to create groundbreaking solutions because everything worth doing, all the low hanging fruit and obvious problem/solution pairs have been done to death, patented to death or worse.

Big tech is so big that they offer a solution so refined, so solid, so cheap that no mom-and-pop shop will ever give you the time of day if those even exist.
The average normie is quite content with a phone which is basically a toy-ified computer gadget.
They don't need more.
Most even run their own little business from it using a handful of cheap/free big tech tools that if you were to offer a homebrew solution for it would cost an arm and leg to maintain without economies of scale.

What does a network tech that wants to "solve problems" do aside from running cable? You could lease a 10G fiber line from a big ISP and sublet it by wiring up a small village I guess?
Then the government gives a huge fucking grant to big ISP and they just wire up every small village themselves leaving you with nothing.
If you are lucky you can become a subcontractor doing menial tasks for the big ISP in a set region.

What does the average coder do now? Especially with the future of them limiting hardware/software access? Every app is made that a normie needs. Kinda like with websites.
Every normie uses less than a dozen of them, mostly through apps…

I recently dropped out of a computer engineering degree after trying to make it for five years. The coursework probably would have been manageable but I was also working part time alongside it to be able to upgrade my PC, buy games etc. It was those IT gigs that really killed my spirit for the field. I went in thinking similarly to this ideal of Eli you mentioned. I was interested in computers and inspired by the stories of the olden C-era days where a bunch of really smart guys just got together and wrote the UNIX operating system and so on. That philosophy of understanding the machine deeply and writing small but really fast programs that you can chain together to do really complex stuff resonated with me. But once you work in the field it is exactly what you describe. Even IT companies rely on big tech software packages as much as they can, and you are just gluing together various big tech APIs or hacking together shitty Python scripts that will be used for a few months and then abandoned. Everything is just about delivering "something" as fast as possible and not really worrying about how it will fuck you up in the long term because you just hope that by that point there will be a new project or you start from scratch anyways. It was so demoralizing to see that this culture of wanting to deeply understand the tech and underlying issues and creating elegant solutions for them has been completely replaced by this ugly, horrible, boilerplate-off-the-shelf-parts "just ship it" mentality. It killed my spirit for all things tech, frankly. Now I am NEETing, though I will apprentice to become an electrician with a municipality in the fall. If I can get hired on afterwards then as far as I understand it's very rare to be fired again as a public employee. So there's that I guess, even if the pay is less than private sector work. And who knows, maybe that job will fry me in some other way and make me quit, though then I'd really be at my wit's end as to how I could make a living. As for being filtered … where I live most apprentices start after school at 16-17 yo, I am a decade older than that. So economically I'm way behind what would be expected, not to mention socially. I don't really feel "culled" but perhaps that's because I'm still comfortable materially, even if I don't see much of a future for myself and most people would probably call me a loosePost too long.

Eh. Really? You wanted to pursue a career in computers and electronics, but got into trouble? So did I. Tried to enroll into an uni, dropped out due to being unable to grasp the basics. Tried again. And then again. Ugh. My mom would shut me up had I tried to bring up the topic of changing careers.


Funniest thing is, I can afford my bread and butter though. But it has nothing to do with programming qua programming…

That's a long time for a Bachelor's degree. Did you at least receive a degree, even in another field?

Yes it's a long time. I started uni late because I switched schools in my final year and then had to wait for the new term to start and then redo the last couple of school years to get my diploma (that's just how it works here when you switch schools). So by the time I started uni I was almost 21 already. I did not finish my college degree, no. I basically just kept myself going through sunk-cost fallacy thinking and trying to gaslight myself into believing in that 100% remote job at the end of the tunnel.
>Explain.
Every IT gig I worked (by that I mean jobs in actual IT companies, not IT departments in normal companies, since those tend to be more tech support, office expert and what not) was some kind of demoralizing. I witnessed job cuts, outsourcing and offshoring. I saw people not working on cool technical problems but instead spend their days in Teams meetings, frustrated and exhausted like a boxer on the ropes. Most of the work is project management, clarifying and re-clarifying and changing requirements according to what the customer wants. Everyone was constantly frustrated and tired. Best case they had a kind of fatalistic humor about the whole thing and worst thing they just kept dredging along because they had families that relied on them for income. That was the future I was looking forward to if I stayed in that field I knew, but I also had already invested years into the degree so I was paralyzed and unable to just quit, making it worse semester by semester.

The average guy who has been successful has almost 99.99% of the time been helped by family or friends in someway. You have to make money to earn money. You typically cant just throw yourself out there and expect to succeed.

It's what you do with your resources and how you use them that make you survive.

I have a horrible mother who criticises me just as much when I do something good as when I do something wrong. I remember having a lot of traumatic experiences with her, and even today she’s still the same. For example, I started being more hygienic and washing my hands before eating, and she started using that habit as a weapon against me. She also criticises me for not going out with my ‘friends’, but when I do leave the house, she keeps insulting me Any advice on how to get free from her? makes me unhappy

And i liked it, i feel it humanistic in a lot of ways.
Maybe bacause the feeling of that anyone get how you feel is in the entire film, all are assholes to protagonist and all put moralistic tags or bullshit on them. The protagonist feels lonely in a lot of ways, everyone feel distant to them in a not forced acting way.
There're some escenes that the dude and same the succubus turn full anxiety and i suffered that shit, i feel empathy for the protagonists so that maybe is a good camera and acting job.

I watched "Redux Redux" two days ago. It wasn't terrible— just kind of a turn-your-brain-off movie. You throw it on, kick back, and let it wash over you.

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.

Does anybody else live with family who have seemingly not a care in the world to be careful with your belongings?? It's incredibly annoying and often blood boiling. I have a lot of collections, and attempt to make models like tanks/planes/warhammer stuff and quite often my parents will "inspect" my room for whatever retarded reason and often break several items. I internally call my dad "The grabbler" he picks up delicate items with his full fist, all fingers perfectly alinged - like a special ed kid grabbing a pencil. As you can imagine, this often BREAKS anything even remotely fragile.

This has been an issue I've dealt with my entire life. I'd have my pokemon cards on a playing mat in my room, parents barge in and walk right on them despite them being able to walk around it, and I wasn't even in the way. Or other times where they would grab my school work with greasy/chocolate coated hands and get stains all over it. Also they love coughing and sneezing without any attempt to cover their mouths. You will see spit and mucus stains EVERYWHERE in the house. Especially on the shared computer screen, utterly disgusting.

I have tried everything to get them to be less dirty and more respectful and mindful but they just don't care, my mother is literally too stupid to understand, my father just doesn't care. I don't really want to move out either as it's not a possibility on my wages unless I want to live in a car or next to criminal social housing with even more disgusting people.

The list goes on and on about all the dirty behaviour they get up to. I might even jot down some greentext stories if I'm bored later

You know, while my folks are nowhere near you, they would ruin my days by constantly *tidying up* things that were in the middle of a project.
