What is the best charity for preventing male children especially babies from being circumcised? Particularly in wealthy western countries where running water and whatnot is universal and circumcision is totally unnecessary.

Approximately how much money does an individual have to donate to prevent one baby boy who would have otherwise been mutilated from being circumcised? Do intactivist charities with this level of data exist? There are very well studied effective altruist charities that have lots of research and randomized control trials that show they can save a human life from something like malaria for seven thousand dollars or less for example. Is there anything like this for intactivist charities?

Circumcising succubi is already illegal. Circumcising boys is legal in every country. No one cares about boys or men. Male lives don't matter.

>if you are a normalfag its understandable cuz sex doesnt feel good
But also more chances for sex because w0men prefer cut men for aesthetic, hygienic, and endurance reasons. Some men even sing up for adult circumcision because they were asked to do so by their partners. What a cucked time we live in. I can't blame w0men because reduced penis sensitivity leads to longer sex time and it is natural to be selfish and seek pleasure.

You should blame succubi for this.
If men wanted succubi and succubi mutilated so sex and masturbating wasn't pleasurable for them or even was painful so they were less slutty and more loyal succubi and succubi would openly or secretly hate and attack all men for it even men openly against FGM.

The purpose of this thread is to counter the general tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads. This thread will therefore feature practical advice about 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.
(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.
(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 the windows to your wiz-cave 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?

Is it worth it staying alive for 1000 dollars a month of SAVINGS? I'll explain: when my parents die I will inherit a special pension (dad's govt. job + disability bux I have) of 1K dollars + whatever I make trough my own job…the pension doesn't prohibit me from working.
Now, to be clear: I'm NOT looking forwards to my folks dying, but it's a fact it will happen some day–once that happens, would the prospects of whatever services -in my country or abroad- I can buy, by piling up 1K dollars each month, be enough reason to stay alive for possibly 2 decades or so?
>basic stats: from my country tip to usa cost around 1K dollars
>meaning if I save for 6 months I can go and come back of course, and spend 4k dollars IN usa-which i don't know if it's poverty tier or middle class tier, in terms of eating out, etc

"Why mayest thou fear death, o wretched traveler?
Your life is full with weeping and tedium.
Death is rest, not punishment:
humanity is hell itself."

However "misere" should be "miser" as the adjective miser in the singular vocative is miser, not misere. Misere in latin means three things: an adverb meaning "wretchedly", the active indicative perfect 3p of mittere (they have sent), the active imperative present 2s of miserere (pity!).

Attamen hisce paucis increpitantibus sententiis aperte inscriptis assumam licentiam loquendi latine et sic eloquar invicem tibi quadam vocali vena nonnihil approbante quoniam quidem sensero sapientiam orum istorum et quin etiam non addubito quin tuum iudiciolum versificatum faciliter demereat certam assentationem inter multos doctos non modo me. Metu mors haberi non debet: hoc mundo demigrato foristan nos opperitur mundus melior. Sed memento, mi sodalis lectitans, quod non omnis humanitas est contemnenda; igitur obsecro te ut tu non sponte sequestrarere extra omnem humanam affinitatem. Inveniantur aliqui viri boni viventes.

Genuinely, what's so wrong about normies? Like really, any of us could be one of them. Normie turned into a term, that describes a mainstream man, instead of a man that does anything a normal man would do (Such as studying, getting family, good job, etc). People argue over accusing each other of being a normie.

Aspergers and autists can very well function in management roles in Nordic societies and Japan because they blend in so well with the generally high level of autistic behavior in their respective societies at large.

Not a single autist in Brazil can work in any management capacity though, given the very primitive, loud and brash culture designed around shitting on people "beneath" you and threatening them at every chance.

It highly depends on where you live. It's not a cookie cutter yes/no answer.

An autist wont last 5 seconds in other highly primitive societies either like the Congo or Zimbabwe, in any kind of management capacity. The workers will openly revolt and attack the neurodivergent who does not resort to intimidation, fear tactics and bullying. He will become the target instantly.

An autist needs ultra high status to thrive in primitive societies. Think royalty, the billionaire class, or a direct relative of the local dictator. The threat and implied protection of thousands of soldiers and police retaliating if you mess with that guy.

Any other neurodivergent will get devoured and ostracized socially. They wont be even shift managers at McDonald's.

There are a whole hosts of posts here where we explain how we're dependent upon our parents and how when they die we will die with them, I am starting to think that the lack of money is a real problem.

Additionally, I am 22, but pursuing a worthless degree in IT, I don't know if I'd be able to get a job, I feel like I need to do something immediately to avoid this impending catastrophe. But I don't know what, it's like I have seen the writing on the wall.

And of course I have no other reason to believe that I am better than people here on the contrary I might be inferior, hell, I can't even drive properly, you've probably read a thousand of my posts here lamenting that by now.

Fuck man, I need to do something, upskill or some sort of productivity or self-improooovement shit or something, in the odd case that it might works. But this path is scary as fuck, this is leading straight up towards suicide. I am not as gutsy as other users here, who are fine with the idea of dying, I kind of want to live properly for a minute first before contemplating dying and I don't think I am even capable of suicide.

I don't even get along very well with my parents, we have a weird hate-love relationship where I am dependent upon them because I have no option.

I don't understand how I can be so unlucky, there are millions and millions of people, literally 99% of them just living their lives normally, I don't understand why do I have to be in the bottom 1% of this planet's population.

I feel an urgent need to do something to prevent this ship to colliding with an iceberg but I am just sitting and watching, if things continue this way, this is not going to end well.

But man all the posts here just scare me to no end. Everyone is talking about the problem but no one is really offering any real and followable solutions, this is not going to end well for either of us.

I don't know why I decided to make this post I feel a sheer sense of urgency and helplessness yet all I do is bedrot.

your suffering seeped out authentically, and your last sentence holds a good summary of your suffering - why it's there and, more generally, what suffering is.

your mom or some stacy or a super chad would say "you are thinking too much".
what does this mean?
they do not have to explain what that means to themselves, in order to stop doing it.
that's because you are either thinking too much, or you are not.

if you are, then try to also be other things you currently are.
you are breathing, you are laying in bed, feeling the sheets, you are looking at the screen, maybe you are hearing something outside the room.
some virgin on your screen seems to suggest to "just stop thinking bro", maybe that causes some sensation in your chest or elsewhere. feel that too.
perhaps a thought goes "i should make yummy tendies", you can "sense" AKA observe that thought.

if you are perceiving a bird chirp and a thought of yours as equally meaningful and worthy to investigate, you will have become the stacy.

I've been lurking this site for a few days and situations like yours and others sadden me. I'm in Australia and as you may or may not know, there's been a massive influx of your fellow countrymen into my country, the vast majority of which enter on "student" visas. They enroll in bullshit courses studying at these barely legal institutions which somehow evade the eyes of the immigration system. About 90% of these "students" end up doing uber eats and other low skilled low paid work, and let me tell you having interacted with these people I can safely say that they are some of the dumbest and most ignorant most incompetent humans I've had the displeasure of coming across. Why am I saying all this? I can relate to you, you seem very switched on and aware of what's going on - you are the type of person these visas are for. If literal mouthbreathers that can't figure out how to use a toilet can make it here… you will THRIVE here. I hope you see this.

tldr: I really appreciate and respect you taking the time for providing me with these resources although I have no funds, no sponsorships, and no experience, I believe it is highly challenging for me to get a visa to Australia and get a job there. Moreover, whatever support systems I have in India will not exist in Australia were I to get in some trouble over there.

As for the people you talked about well those people often have enough money or funds to show in their bank account which allowed them to go there, and do those jobs like uber eats and other low skilled paid work, although in the United States, I thought that the median income of Indians were fairly good but maybe the Australian system is different. The other thing is to tell you the truth, I just want a job in India itself, because I find the task of moving to another country too daunting, the task of speaking another language hard, adapting with your customs and the little social cues that might exist in your societies (like how Europeans greet the people when the enter the shop) things like that, things that you can only learn if you were born there and even that to the parents who are fully assimilated. And of course I would be mogged the hardest in Australia lol.

It's kind of a shit situation where I am not happy in India but I do understand and am well-versed with India and Indians, it's language, culture, bureaucracy, and healthcare system. But on the other hand, I have no idea what life is like in Australia, what your customs are, what you eat, what your bureaucracy is like, etc. and even if I do somehow manage to go there I doubt that I will ever be able to assimilate in that country. So yeah I am not happy in my own country and I doubt I will manage to be happy in another county although I can make some money in Australia doing menial jobs which I can't in India but Australia doesn't want or need people like me.

Those people grew out in the sun, we grew in dark, dingy basements. If you get a good start in life in your teens, lets say you have friends and people like you, a good family, you'd feel an innate sense of "I'm worthwhile. I'm allowed to exist and go do things. I *can* do things." and as you progress through life things would naturally accumulate. You'd go to university, you'd make more friends, you'd probably find a field of interest to dedicate your time to, and the social world you inhibit would provide a suitable context. I never had a context, I never felt comfortable in my skin, people seemed to ignore me, some of this was my fault, but I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't have a friendly face to relate with or give me advice. I think all our problems stem from this generalized lack of belonging, put a human in a blank room like Squidward when he's a l o n e and guess what'll happen - unless you're a genuine schizoid you need other people to relate yourself back to, otherwise it's all pointless. It's not rocket science, it's why most wizards/hikkis/neets/whatever are the way they are. I always knew this intrinsically but couldn't do anything so ignored it. I was a happy child in school surrounded by peers and friends and must've felt an innate subconscious ease about life, even as an eight year old. Growing up stole my humanity and I've been a do-nothing isolated wreck since.

Confession thread. Confess your sins to fellow wizards. A sorrow shared is a sorrow doubled, but maybe that's ok.

Confession can help us heal from depression. Through confession, the individual takes responsibility for the state of his life, concentrating on what he has done, not what has been done to him.

Christ’s own words to the apostles: “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained” (John 20:23), which the Church understands as the institution of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the granting of authority to forgive sins in His name.

Forgiveness is also essential of one another: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:15). A heart hardened against others cannot receive mercy.

There are no photos of fish or references to fish being eaten by cats from the first Depression Crawl Thread through the ones made in 2022. If it's in a crawl thread, it would be the /lounge/ one which I don't have archives of. Sorry!

I believe somebody has been manually backing up /lounge/'s Crawl thread on an off-site platform, but I don't give enough of a rat to check!

You can find out the names and addresses of the other Discord users who convinced him that suicide was the answer. You can then decapitate those people in front of their own parents. But of course, you're the kind of child who believes he must apologize for making an on-topic post on an imageboard, so the only thing YOU can truly do in this situation is wallow alone in your own pity.

Any wizzies playing on the stock market? There is currently a pretty big crisis because of Trump's tariffs. Might be a good time to get into the game when everyone is panic selling. I bought 100$ worth of s&p 500 etf today. I am prepared for it's value to get even lower so I am not going all in yet.

I have some in S&P 500 because I believe in the US business and economic supremacy continuing into the long term, it's always gone up and produced good returns in the long run even with plunges in between.

I also have some individual stocks too but those are risky, seen so many people online lose their money on them. I've been lucky so far but doesn't mean anyone else will. I kind of just enjoy it for the fun of predicting even though I think we humans are bad at future predicting and tend to fall for confirmation bias and other things. I don't put in more than I care to lose. I have basic economics/business knowledge so I often get ideas from substacks, twitter, even reddit (gb2reddit I know) as long as they seem well thought out with analysis that makes sense, I've found some good picks, occasionally bad ones but more good. I avoid the meme/hype stocks and anything that smells bad - unprofitable companies with "future unrealised potential", businesses that aren't really unique or special/no moat, don't have potential to expand, lots of debt, no plan or investor relations etc.

Recently I invested a small amount in a company in my country Australia called Beonic Ltd. Small tech company that deploys tech into public spaces to make them "smart" think like IoT, queue monitoring, "AI" insights etc. sounds memey and questionable but they have big contracts including big airports. Unprofitable for years and investor faith seems to be lost, quite a bit of debt. Risk is that they stay unprofitable and get delisted from the stock market or worse. They are claiming they will break even second half this year, and have made attempts to restructure and cut costs, focus on their profitable segments (mainly airports). Heard a rumor they could get bought out/acquired. Could be bullshit but if they break even and/or get acquired I think the price could triple or more. Or maybe it just joins the thousands of small stocks that get slaughtered/stay stagnant

Did the boring index fund thing for awhile, but noticed the small incremental gains were regularly decimated every few years by big overall market downturns and when these were taken into account I still wasn't beating inflation.
So I dumped my funds into a high interest account and physical gold just to hedge against inflation and instead worked on earning and saving more instead of investing at all.
Not ideal but at least I am not getting burned over and over again by retarded tech bros.

Volcels, what if?
What if you could have the perfect succubus?
>she would always love you no matter what
>she would never betray you
>she would never nag
>she would never test you
>she would never insult or mock you
>she would never do anything you wouldn't want her to
If you could have such a succubus, would you still refuse to have sex with her?

If you admit to wanting sex with her, I won't consider it breaking any rules because such a succubus does not exist, and it's a fantasy on the same level as a 2D waifu.

Berserk is such a unique blend of multiples influences
it is fascinating to see how all those different media materials got blended together
into miura's mind to form berserk

here is some inspirations to name a few:

movies:
Evil Dead 2 / 3 Army of Darkness (Guts's mechanical arm and sword and a medieval setting)
Hellraiser (God Hand which share similarities with the Cenobites)
flesh and blood (the themes of a mercenary band and the relationships within it)
Phantom of the Paradise (Griffith's transformation into Femto)

mangas:
Fist of the North Star (art style and the depiction of violence)
Devilman (The design of the Apostles)
The Rose of Versailles (the strong emotions and intricate relationships)

novel series:
Guin Saga (world-building and overall scope of Berserk)

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

>Do you have a driver's licence?
not yet, right now Im attending the course to obtain it though. I finished the theory classes last week (it was stressing as hell for me not gonna lie, I had to sit in a school class with 17-18yo spoiled upper-middle class looking whores for over 30 hours) and this week I proceeded to driving with a trainer. I was suprised that he let me drive the training car by myself on public roads on day one already. the whole course should be finished in 6-7 weeks if everything goes right since Its only 4 hours of driving a week. also I live in one of the major cities so driving here is way harder than in smaller towns or rural areas especially in the rush hours when there are traffic jams everywhere and some people really drive like crazy + I additionally have to deal with trams and trains everywhere
>In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.
Im in central europe and in the best case if I dont fail the exam the course takes up to 60 hours divided to 8 weeks.
>My motivation was (…)
I just thought that it would be an useful skill to have and a pretty important developmental milestone, also my parents offered to cover all the costs for my course (Its around 1000 euro here). they also have a car I will be able to use if I get my drivers license plus Im tired of having to deal with drunk aggressive hobos/other lowlifes all the time in public transit.

Nope, see no reason to outside of living in remote rural settlements. At least in Russian cities with over 50k population, taxi cabs are everpresent, can be ordered in 5-10 minutes, cheaper than having and maintaining a car and you can do whatever you want while someone else is driving.

I went all the way to the coast yesterday searching for solitude, I found the best spot and the air and the salty water was so nice. You should do it too! Don't get your car stuck in the sand though haha.

Actually got me thinking about selling my car and getting a boat and living in it on the sea alone.

I would like to discuss things that we do that increase our levels of well being and comfort throughout the day. What are some of the rituals and habits that you engage in that really make your solitary lives that much more enjoyable? For me I like to go on long walks in the mornings or evenings usually, when the sun isn't so strong. The fresh air and forest environment makes me relax automatically and it fills me with great pleasure that I am walking about without meeting a soul, while most other people are at work. Another thing that makes me feel warm inside is having a folder of old favorite game wallpapers/ingame screenshots that rotate as my desktop wallpaper throughout the day, so I am often reminded of the 'good old days' as it were. Whenever I have to go outside into town, I will wear regular clothes as to not stand out so when I return home there is a big satisfaction of slipping into my sweats, washing my hands and face like a ritual to leave behind that outside-part of my day. I also find there is nothing more comfortable than going to bed after being freshly showered. It really is the highlight of my days, especially since I bought a new mattress recently that finally doesn't give me back pain anymore.

Sure, I 100% dropped image/message boards, didn't replace them with more time sinks, and instead put work into improving my living area. I was able to come back a couple months later and be responsible about it, but it's like anything that's a problem: cutting back on alcohol, porn, crack, etc might not be enough (gotta go cold turkey).
