How do you cope with fetishes you cant control? A lot of failed normalfags couldnt even start sex lives if they wanted to, because their fetishes are so repugnant. Aside from that, having a weird fetish personally fills me with tons of anxiety, mostly because I'm always wasting my free time scouring the net for any type of new material that fulfills my needs. It's uncontrollable; even worse when your fetish is so obscure, not even the porn industry wants to capitalize on it.

Even in the worst case scenario though, the disgusting and repugnant fetishes are likely telling you that the situation in your life is really fucked, and perhaps that is an irreconcilable situation - but the fetish is just a "thing", something that can set aside. Everything, and I mean everything, can be destroyed and reassembled, and literally anything else could be put in its place, so long as that other thing "works". You can't really be "asexual" in that sense - the drive for some belonging or place in the world is such that you're going to have a drive for something. It's entirely possible to see the sexual aspect as an inconvenience or incidental, even make it into a sort of game to manage, and find your happiness elsewhere once it has been dismissed.

I am assuming of course your fetish isn't highly illegal and the feds aren't coming for you, but if it's that, then you have a problem of hiding your life from the feds more than the fetish itself.

Your method is tapping into actual reproductive instincts which I have zero respect for and so would be rendered void. I put no stake in such desires of others and my self image is steadfast.

Fetishism is only maladaptive if it disrupts some other desire you have (like the desire to reproduce etc), otherwise it's just regular old adapted cope like all the rest of behavior. Is it perfectly healthy? No, but neither is sedentary living, extended computer usage, most cheap food and so on and so forth. Chasing perfect health prevents you from being in the present and efficiently living within your means. Reality is always moderate. If you masturbate so much you go crazy and your health deteriorates, fetishes are the least of your concern. If fetishes can get you in legal trouble or cause self-hatred, then you should probably work on that (though with the latter self-love is just as easy to attain by getting over yourself).

It is mere masturbation. Stay grounded and examine the true cause and effect of your life and you will find near invariably that moderation is the correct answer. I can tell you have a lot of symbols and pillars of value running things in your head however, and moderation in its mundane neutrality probably stands opposed to many of them. This too, is regular human cope, so I'm not that concerned for you.

Dude, none of those are gemstones.

The very first step in any hobby is actually knowing what the thing the hobby is based on actually is.

Please at least look at the wiki article on the term gemstone.
While I would be glad to discuss the topic, no discussion can be had with someone who is wholly ignorant. It would just be a lecture and education rather than a stimulating dialog.

>for the vast majority of people here, this is just one stop on their life journey.
yes

> i can't blame anyone for finding success and happiness in life and looking back with pity on the rest of us

yes you can. they know they dont belong, they know they are actively still pursuing a normal life, including a much wanton sexual experience with succubi. if you have this in you, then you can safely leave as you're not a wizard and you're at odds with what wizardry is about -read the rules or banner-

>all their problems might seem like the worst in the world, even though in the grand scheme of things they aren't.

they know it, even going so far as to point that out, they still complain and humblebrag at the same time, and it's obvious that all their worries stem from not reaching critical normal milestones and having a succubus.

>the other day some guy was like "i only have 4 friends and i only make X amount of money per week"

yeah its a bit silly isnt it

>is it wrong for that guy to feel sad about his life, just because there's people worse off? i don't know

yes. it's conceited, and very self-important attitude, people that have all the major bases covered humblebragging on a board where they KNOW that some people have nothing they have, and they do it all the same. that is super typical normal behavior.

instead of fixing their 'problems' -read cant get succubi- by calling themselves out on their bullshit, their need for personal growth and framing things better, they come and post here.

there are entire websites dedicated to normals complaining about their non-existent problems. nobody is making you take out a mortage, nobody is making you work 150k a year to support a single person who isn't going to be having a family in future. nobody is making you live a high stress lifestyle to gain all the trappings of 'normal' success. those 'problems' arent real.

if you can simply throw it away, or ignore it, then it isn't a real problem. real problems like cancer, or homelessness, or disability, you wont see them complaining about that, it's always the same old tired things about how they don't have a normal sex-haver life in full and they're depressed about it.

I struggle really hard to maintain steady employment. I'm 32 currently and have probably worked for a grand total of approximately 18 months over the past 11 years (since I graduated university). I've had about 6 or 7 different jobs in that time; one for a whole year, and the others for a few days to a few weeks each.

Getting up and going to work fills me with so much anxiety and dread that I can't keep it up for very long. I don't get NEETbux, but I'm fortunate enough to have understandable parents who sort of understand that I'm a social retard with crippling anxiety, so I don't get pushed too hard to do anything. I recently completed an introductory course for accounting, so I'm going to try and get a part-time job with that (preferably remote work).

I want to share my experiences of having an inner monologue and somewhat losing it later on.

For most of my life up until I was 17 I had an inner monologue. This was almost constant, always some kind of monologue occurring in my head. It was almost a little bit overwhelming, and while I was not diagnosed, I'm 100% sure I had OCD. Would constantly check stuff even though I knew it didn't have to, repeating things in my head to calm anxiety etc. - textbook OCD.

I remember at my "peak" I scored 128 on the Norwegian Mensa IQ test on the first attempt. Not saying that means I had that high IQ, but I'm mentioning it because nowadays I can't score more than 100-110 on the same test.

Anyways, when I was 16-17 there was a lot of fucked up personal shit I don't want to mention, but it was out of my control. I did not use drugs and I wasn't particularly irresponsible, not more than others at that age anyway.

I had gone to the doctor because I was experiencing fatigue. This was shown to be linked to low vitamin D (though it was had more to do with my home environment). The first day I took this supplement, my inner monologue quieted down. It was still there somewhat, but not as active. The next day I took the supplement again it was even quieter. I think I took for a month until I stopped because I didn't feel like myself, inner monologue was basically gone. Even though I stopped it did not return fully. This was compounded by the fact that I decided I needed to lose weight, so I did lots of water fasting, not eating for 2 days at a time. While fasting does provide some benefits, it is not recommended for someone who's brain is still developing. Malnutrition can have permanent effects on your development, which it did in my case. My inner monologue was basically completely gone at this point.

After awhile I actively tried to quiet my brain down because I had such an awful home environment, I would just watch YouTube videos with sound on full blast so I didn't have to hear what was going inside my head or in my living area (family issues). This was right before turning 18.

Ever since, things have not been the same. This was 5 and a half years ago, and things have never been the same again. I do not think as quickly, I don't "get" or understand things as quickly. Like if I read a text or hear someone say something, I may have difficulty understanding it (reading comprehension). This was almost never the case before. Post too long.

i have full on aphantasia and can't imagine visual or sound and i have no monologue. when i first heard that other people have such inner experiences, i thought they were schizophrenic or crazy. then i learned the majority of people experience this stuff

as far as i'm aware, it doesn't matter at all and your brain simply find a different way to achieve the same result. there are tons of animators and artists and so on that cannot visualize, they are actually over represented which is odd. something i read in a study is that people with aphantasia don't have the same emotional reactions when reading text, scary stories, etc, but react the same as normal people when shown movies and films and so on. so they might thrive in careers requiring unemotional responses to information, like emergency situation

i can still imagine despite no audio/visuals though. the main way i imagine things is just feeling it with imaginary hands almost. so there is nothing, it's all black, but i can feel the spaces and shapes all at once. there seems to be a limit to the amount of detail though. a full on person with lots of curvy shapes and limbs and so on is too hard, but a table, geometric things, maps, these are okay

when speaking i have to form the sentence ahead of time, which if i had to describe how it goes, it's like running your hand left to right and feeling words, but you're not actually feeling them, instead the word or concept or whatever becomes fresh in the mind, again without being heard or spoken or seen. and when it feels correct i say it. if it doesn't feel correct, i keep thinking about what to say. i've done what is called 'stream of consciousness', a writing exercise, but i've spoken it aloud and recorded myself and listened to it and it reaches a point where i don't even know what i'm saying anymore and it's all gibberish, but when i listen to the recording, it's intelligible but feels like another person is speaking, not me

it sometimes feels like inside my head i have headphones on and i'm blindfolded, but someone else beside me can see and hear, and is covnerting what they see into sign language or something tactile. so what i'm imagining is like a weird game of telephone where the original thing is converted and passed along. and likewise when speaking and thinking, i feel like a caveman. i originally thought the npc meme was about an innner monologue actually, that something else inside you was simply speaking for you and you just repeated it. apparently npc meme was the opposite, not having an inner monologue somehow. i don't get it really

i'm not at all successful in life and have a painful time socializing even with family, but i'm not autistic or mentally ill or otherwise diagnosed with anything. i wish i could say that despite all this shit i'm actually a millionaire and it doesn't matter, but i have worked for only 3 months in the past decade and i'm really poor. maybe it doesn't matter and this is just how i am, i don't know. i know most meditation techniques are based around visualization which was disappointing to learn, since despite having no inner experiences i was deep into meditation for years. i'm somewhaPost too long.

The problem is every time I spent my money on things that made me happy and optimistically thought I'll just make that money back, I never did.
It's very hard to replenish savings as an autist. It might be years before you get another job or your parents aid you.

Then bad stuff happened like my beater car suddenly requiring $1400 in repairs to run, and my washing machine broke down. I had to beg my grandparents for a loan and they started loathing me.

So now I have $20k saved up due to that trauma. From eating ultra frugally and not spending a cent on anything but the cheapest foods that have nutritional value.
And I'm afraid to spend even a cent of it in case I need it for catastrophes.

At this point, I feel physically ill if I have to spend more than $10 in one day.
Money has ruined my psyche and is the only thing I think about 99% of the time.

You have no idea how hard it is to shed body fat % when literally the only dopamine source in your life is food. You are alone at home 24/7 just waiting to die.

I did it anyway and dropped from 115kg to 75kg. It was the best decision of my life.
Still can't believe how agile, light and healthy I feel now. All the brain fog went away as well.

Not all my life, but I started binging on potato chips, cookies, chocolate, ice cream when I was about 18.
That's when I realized I'm too autistic to fit in with normals and just shut away from the world.

I'm still grateful junk food exists, it's what kept me alive. My only source of happiness for more than a decade.

As for when I started feeling the brain fog disappear, it was around the 85kg mark.
Below 80kg my mind was as clear as it was as a teenager, it was like being reborn.

I was also able to run up the stairs to my aparment, when as a fat guy just walking up a single flight of stairs was painful and took my breath away.

do beverages even make sense? do they deserve to exist? i don't think so. beverages are shit. i question the general concept behind them. when i see someone drink lemonade i instantly consider that person an idiot; that someone who is drinking sugary industry juice because they made it taste nice. that's someone who was tricked into selfharm to me.

myself i like to drink fruit juices. i very much believe in the juices i make myself from real fruit. a fresh juice from an apple? that's so nice that everything else compared feels like a waste. occasional get distracted and resort to buying in boxes from the supermarket. currently i drink nothing but water. drinking only water is fine too though. that's plenty especially when the food is as dense as modern food. that's plenty for the body.

AND THEN FAT PEOPLE LIKE TO BUY CASES AND CASES OF STUPID STUFF THEY DRINK THAT THE FACTORY MADE. SOME EVEN HAVE ALCOHOL IN THEM 😆

people drinking alcohol is so funny to me. i use 99% isopropyl alcohol to dissolve spraypaint off when some asshole spraypaints my car. and the same stuff people drink for fun. that's just more self-harm. why they keep harming themselves.

>This is the same case with whole grains. Juicing acts as a cleanse for the same reason outright fasting does, by making your lower intestine dormant resulting in a mass death of gut bacteria.

i don't think it is dormant. it might appear dormant because the load you expect it to digest is reduced so much.


>This can kill off lot of the bad stuff and bring balance to the lower biome, but it's still going to weaken and starve the good stuff.


i don't think that's true. the bacteria is something i don't believe i ever need to worry about. i'm not waiting to implant the poop of healthier people like in the south park episode. besides there are few people who are more healthy then me.

my microbiome will reflect the ability of help digest the kind of food i am eating. whatever i am eating will keep those microorganisms alive that can help digest it and everything else starves. and then when i eat everything else again, the bacteria that is able to help digest it will settle in my gut once again. no good stuff is lost, there can never be shortage of bacteria, your judgement is clouded by the unnatural limitation you are used from currency systems.

>It's worse than fasting when done wrong too because the amount of sugars coupled with gut agitators such as caffeine can actually trick the gut in to working hard, but working hard against nothing. It's unnecessary stress and entanglement on the system.


coffee is what fools drink so they can meet the deadline their boss decided for them. i don't think it is unnecessary stress, drinking only juice is bringing the human organism closer to the state it was evolved to thrive in. for the modern human it is an unusual relaxation and eating bread, pasta, pizza and other factory food is the unnecessary stress.

The digestive tract needs solid food within it in order for its digestive movements to work properly. If mostly liquid, soft matter, or mucous is being digested, there is no resistance when the muscles perform. This forces the tract to overwork by trying harder to move matter that is just sloshing around. Vascularity of the tract benefits from this solid resistance too. Basically, the human digestive system is highly optimized for solid waste, and when you only feed it liquid and / or take agitators such as caffeine that forces to mucous membranes to hyperact and soften what solid food you've eaten, you're just inflicting upon regular function. The muscles responsible for digestion don't need a "break" just as the muscles that make up the heart don't. They'll still be working all the same but with reduced efficiency. Consider how muscles fall apart when someone is in Zero-G for a while. The same applies to removing resistance in the digestive tract.

If you want to do good for your digestive system, just stop poisoning it and get your fill of pre- and probiotics. Fasting is only good for expelling dead bacteria and giving new good bacteria room to flourish. Juicing is good for nothing.

hmm i've done quite a few experiments with varying nutrition over the years and i never encountered the ideas you speak of where digestional muscles are not getting enough exercise. in nature during different seasons, different food is available and you mean to tell me if something isn't chewey enough my digestional system could decrease to a point where it could not increase again when the food becomes available again? i don't believe this is true. my approach to digestion is different, i don't think digestional muscles require babysitting. i've subjected myself to g-forces, heavy accelleration and decelleration, prolonged vibration, rotational forces. i try to stir up my body and exercise and sweat at least a few times every week. also i've heard stories of people who don't even have a digestional system anymore and survived by drinking olive oil through their skin.

however i do respect the idea that all muscles need to be used in order to promote lymphatic flow.

the muscles don't need a break but i do believe the idea that the digestional tract appeciates a break does hold up. apparently some people have the inner bowel walls so "caked" up with hard to digest matter that when juice flows through it, it is like a power wash. eggs are glue, ever fried an egg without fat? it sticks so hard it makes you want to throw away the pan. what makes you think your body doesn't glue shut when you eat an egg? also i believe people can be "behind on schedule" on their digestion, especially when you account for the ridiculously long digestion times some foods require. the entire gi tract becomes a complicated balancing act when the wrong food is eaten. the gi tract tries to draw the energy out of the food, which takes a lot of time because the modern wrong food is so dense, so dry and so sticky. so it has to work on this load but when it takes too long, it starts to rot while still in the body, which i believe to be a much more pressing concern then muscles not getting exercise.

I hate the world that I live in. It all feels inauthentic, meaningless, and boring. The only thing that really brings me joy is escapism. I read novels, manga, and watch anime and movies and get so attached to the storyline and characters and setting. But they all come to an end eventually. It's exceedingly brutal because I don't have anything going on in my life so I become significantly emotionally invested into these things. It's hard for me to move on. And then it saddens me when I realize the joy and fulfillment that piece of media gave me is missing from my life, and that I will never get to experience it for the first time again. I also worry about running out of good media, which would mean the end of my escapist copes.

I hate that these copes are so transient and fleeting, and I hate how boring real life is.

In this thread, we shall discuss everything SSRi-related.

I've tried the following:

Fluvoxamine, Sertraline, and Fluoxteine are SSRIs.

SNRI's:

Desvenlafaxine Venlafaxine

I'm going to talk about each of them and how I feel about them.

Fluvoxamine:

The first two weeks on Fluvoxamine are complete torture; I'm anxious, tired, and have terrible focus due to anxiety and panic episodes.

Sertraline:

When I first started on Sertraline, I had no side effects, it was OK till it pooped out, but it truly works but it can screw with your motivation, plus the weight loss is fantastic on this medicine, I was 78 before taking it, and three months later I was 69-70.

PSSD is a very strange case. I believe it has been known that an over-abundance of serotonin in the human brain causes sexual dysfunction since around the 1950s…but for some reason (population reduction) this knowledge was/is kept somewhat secret. Treating PSSD involves lowering serotoninergic activity in the brain which can be done through ingesting serotonin antagonists and also through ingesting certain vitamins (like thiamine, aka B1) which encourage turn-over of accumulated serotonin. Ginger is one such serotonin antagonist that does a good job of lowering serotonin levels in the brain. I think sweating (using a sauna, for example) is probably another good route of attack, as the skin is the body's organ with the largest excretory area.

Finally, to who may soever be reading this, I strongly advise that you do NOT try SSRIs. Experiencing PSSD is debilitating and not something you want to have to deal with on top of already being sad. Sexual release is important (even for wizards). Please first attempt making dietary changes, exercise-related changes, sleeping changes, psychical changes in thinking habits, etc., before taking brain-damaging pills.

Only non bs antidepressants are wellbutrin and maybe DXM if taken properly. SSRIs and SNRIs zombify you, you will see how much time you lost years after the fact. It's better to stimulate or dissociate to get a better frame of mind. I'd even say abilify can do wonders, since it resensitizes your dopamine receptors. But taking that every single day is insanity and equal to getting lobotomized. Whoever reads this, do some careful research before going in. You can lose years of your life on the wrong meds.

The church of Satan are a bunch of larping faggots. If you wanna learn magick start with something like the Psychonaut Field Manual or Prometeus Rising. Then get into the Kybalion and other Hermetic books. From there you can get into more serious shit like Kabbalah, The keys of Solomon, Goetian stuff and if you don't like abrahamic shit you can learn planetary magick, wicca, law of attraction etc.
Don't do rituals or cast spells until you know what the fuck you're doing. Magick is very similar to cooking. You can get a recipe book and try to cook one of the recipes there, but if you have zero cooking experience you're gonna fuck it up.

I was arguing with some classmate today, who went on about how ugly people shouldn't have kids. And of course I am ugly too. Hence, eventually a wizard.

I don't know what happened to me today but I had almost a sudden change of mine, somewhere down the line of arguing with my classmates, I figured out that they don't give a shit about ugly people suffering. If they did they would do something to help them. Not fucking exterminate them.

It's like eradicating poverty by bombing people or eradicating cancer by shooting cancer patients. I don't know, now, I find myself of the opinion that if an ugly gut gets a chance he should have children. He too deserves all the happiness of having a child.

And who knows maybe due to the randomity of universe the child turns out to be Chad or Stacy. Do you guys ever have a change of mind like this? About a topic that you felt so deeply about?

Like I know my parents are ugly and responsible for my predicament. But I think that both of them have done a lot for me. And while it is their duty to do it. I feel grateful at times.

It cannot be overstated how much “normal” people value their social status. There’s lots of studies demonstrating how much social status threat impacts behavior, and how much they feel intense disgust response in regards to it . Even if a loser dude is nice to them after an unpleasant event, the idea the loser thinks they’re equal creates a disgust response as it threatens their social image. I can’t remember the studies name.
For losers who don’t think in those terms because they’ve got nothing to protect it makes no sense.

Ugly people are evil in the eyes of normies. We are bad people for being ugly and we deserve being treated like shit. There's a reason why the bad guy in movies is always ugly or deformed. For a normalfag, there's no greater sin that a person can do than being ugly. There are succubi simping for literal serial killers, but if an ugly guy would approach them, they would treat him like shit no matter how much of a good person he is.
And you know what's the worst part? They're not wrong, it's not their fault. That's just mother nature telling you through the normalcattle hivemind that you're not good enough and she wants you dead. I'm not sure about you, but I'm not planning to give the bitch the satisfaction.

Well, it takes quite some time to explain it, there are youtube videos that can do it way better than I ever could.

In a nutshell, LLMs manipulate language statistically, so after word X they think that it is statistically likely that word Y should follow. However, the right answer to a riddle might actually be Z, but the LLM doesn't know that, beacause it's stupid.

That's why you get hallucinations: the AI writes stuff that sounds right, but the answer is actually wrong.

Of course, this is a simplification, and everything is way more complex than that. In fact they do have some kind of internal logic, because since they use a lot of VRAM ("big hardware"), they internally have so many if-else statements (they're not really if-else statements, but I'm simplifying) that some kind of logic and reasoning actually emerges during training. However, since the internal logic is being created automatically by training, there is no way to check these conditions.

That's why they are called "black boxes": you cannot debug them.

Also they reason in a very non-human way, so even if you could debug them, everything would look like garbage to a human, it would be like reading obfuscated code.

Even the AIs that recognize a dog in a picture, have no concept of a dog, they are only "reasoning" about pixels positions, in an extremely abstract and non-human way.

Given these facts, you can only get LLMs to act like they are smart, but you cannot make them ACTUALLY smart.

If I train a human to do calculations basing on how the number sounds when spelled, the human might get some results, it might do 1 + 1, and 2 + 2, because the words "one" and "two" sound different. But at some point it will just fail and be stuck. And you cannot IMPROVE that, because the method is wrong: you should teach him what a number is, you should actually teach it logic, the proper way. And we don't have that right now, and probably never will (the hardware is not suitable).

Probably biocomputers might stand a chance, but those are not a thing of the immediate future.

This is just negative rigid thinking. Tech builds on itself. I do admit that about a decade ago when using RNNs for NLP started becoming big I thought there wasn't much to the tech outside of its specialized bubble. Of course LLMs evolved from that initial research and somethign major will come from this LLM research. It is constant improvement. Great tech doesn't just pop out of thin air overnight.

I'm cursed. I have physical and mental disabilities that make life impossible.

I have no way to cope, I don't use drugs, I don't believe in god, etc…

Suicide might be my only option but I don't know how to do that, I risk to suffer even more. For example if I stopped eating they would put me in a psych ward with artificial nutrition. I thought about drowning myself but what if I just end up with water in my lungs.

I feel like I'm forced to live, how to escape from never ending pain? I'm the living proof of why people shouldn't have children.

Ive heard it said that the Industrial age bought upon added luxuries (factory created items and the like) that the commoner could spend their money on and enjoy, but hats the point if industrial work hours gives you no time to enjoy anything? maybe in our modern day the luxury provided by industry is just zoning out in front of a tv or phone or computer screen numbing yourself until sleep time.
