Context: my apartment has strong heat-insulated walls, which prevent the heat from dissipating quickly. Not everyone live in a home like that, hence the big problem

>>302772
It was 23 degrees Celsius in my room this morning, by the way

Update. Autumn weather + heated apartment = my sleep is good. Unfortunately, I need a proper nightstand lamp and I lack the determination to drill a wall.

Also, in some other thread, an importance of good diet for mental well-being was mentioned.

To avoid "dissing" my mom's intentions, I should say she keep cooking *comfort food* - not bad, but it's shouldn't be your everyday food. Yet it was my everyday food.

Also, in some other thread, an importance of good diet for mental well-being was mentioned.

To avoid "dissing" my mom's intentions, I should say she keeps cooking dishes that can be attributed to the idea of *comfort food*. That's not too bad, a normie would never put a blame on a mommy like mine for being a dotting caring perosn, but! [[Comfort food]] shouldn't be your everyday choice!

>>303345
atheism is hedonism, if atheism is not providing pleasure, than the atheist position is to believe in god

>>303347
72 virgins ass reasoning. Some people actually believes in things because they think it's true.

>>302107
masturbating often is bad too

>>302107
Interesting point.
I also relate to only feeling the negative effects later on.
I have several bowel/stomach issues and it takes a while for things to move through me, but I can definitely tell once the "junk" has reached a certain point of absorption.

>>302107
hmmmmm!

You know, that's exacyly why a wizard can hate is "loving, doting" mother who kept feeding her little wizzie with "tasty, tasty, filling" comfort food - foods like poundfuls of mashed potatoes/macaroni/white bread/oiled soups aren't too good.


It's not too healthy to be fed with [[comfort food]] only, ja…

>>303349
…oh, wait, "computer religion" is literally a bunch of people who went crazy after watching "The Matrix".

>>303350
I mean of all the stupid things normies have worshipped, a GPT who can write a new Bible for you personally that sounds like KJV, is probably the least stupid.

All religions are always so convenient for humans, proof that they are completely fake. A religion that preached that the afterlife is worst than life and you will go there no matter what would never gain traction even if it were true.

>Karma
The meaning of karma that I was taught is that karma ends when you decide not to do evil by harming or hurting others or taking revenge, thereby cutting off one of the causes of suffering.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can't respond violently or defend yourself, but if you do nothing, the suffering only gets worse. You can only mitigate or avoid it completely, which is why pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.
>But is egoistic
And no, it's not pure selfishness. I know that if I drink water, I'm being selfish, and in third world countries there is no water, but it's not something I can magically change. Nor can I abandon everything and let myself get sick helping others because then I wouldn't be able to help others. Think of it like when the emergency oxygen masks fall on an airplane: first yourself and then others, because if you're not okay, you won't be able to help others. People forget this, but Buddha spoke of the middle way because he opposed the ascetic extremism and extremes of his time of Sramana practices.
>But nonviolence make you a cope pacifis…
And no, it's not about nonviolence. Do you think there were warrior monks in China and Japan who had no problem with violence and going to war? The same thing happens with activists and charities that start out Buddhist.
>Also
So no, I don't see karma as the law of the boomerang or the three fingers pointing others and two fingers you or an eye for an eye like new agers or wiccans. These are not Chinese social points that will affect your other life, if it exists, but they are likely to affect your only present life because those who live restlessly, with hatred, resentment, fear, shame, evil, and violence tend to get sick, make others sick, and die violently. So I choose to find, make and have peace bacause that turn me free of some causes of suffering. And in this way, I also relieve some of the suffering of others.

>A religion that preached that the afterlife is worst than life and you will go there no matter what

Actually, your statement can be "upgraded" with an idea of ASCENSION - say, an ASCENDED person would enjoy … *such a place*, while an unascended person would NOT.

Come think of it, the idea of nirvana is ridiculously close to that

>>303299
>I think low test is a symptom rather than the root cause. The root being oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, lack of nutrients (depleted due to said constant oxidative stress state) and yes, to a lesser degree a dysgenic population


Interesting!

Because I used to drink A LOT of coffee, had ruined sleep, and only this year, I learned there's a ton of antioxidants in coffee. Maybe I only craved coffee for the antioxidants all along…


Care to tell me if there's a book on such a theory?

>>303299
I agree with a lot of this. Low-T is essentially just the latest normie slur which they use to denigrate anyone who they think isn't 'alpha' or manly enough or whatever other reason they might have to dislike you. Not to say that there is no clinical low testosterone to be observed but it's just being used as a catch all in improoover circles nowadays.

The decreasing life expectancy in the West is likely due to all the chemicals we have put into the environment and are ingesting through food, clothes, hygiene products etc. Microplastics in the brain and lung tissue and so on. The decrease in nutrients in the foods, as you mentioned but not just due to oxidative stress but things like soil depletion too.

Of course this comparison is almost trite these days but humanity really has spread like a tumorous growth, mindlessly consuming and poisoning everything it relies on for its own subsistence and in the end, creating its own demise.

Best you can do as far as I can tell is try to limit processed food as much as you can or are willing to, move your body more and try to get good sleep. Beyond that, there seems to be a point of diminishing returns in terms of health benefits.

>>303292
Bring fat is what spirals low T. Having experienced what its like to have high T, You feel like you can do or try anything. You can hack at a problem for hours until your body starts to hurt from hunger. Your focus is very concentrated among other things. That said, high T isnt permanent.

Testosterone has its purpose and is supposed to rise and fall. You literally can't sleep if your T is too high. You have to jerk off or something similarly taxing otherwise you have too much energy. and will toss and turn all night

Fatness is simple. If you stopped eating goyslop and started walking or doing physical tasks for hours like your fucking body was built to do, you wouldnt be this way. That simple.

TLDR Low T makes you a bitch that cant do anything effectively and saps all your energy away. Its no wonder men are largely useless at fighting for themselves in the modern day

>>303292
>is lack of testosterone our main problem?
No. It's severe mental illness.
You're welcome.

>I've seen studies where they have said that testosterone is at a historical low for many males, testosterone gives you resilience to emotional problems, makes you more competitive, more risk-taking Etc.


Well… as a soiboi tired of "soiboi" tier nervousness, I think OP may be right.


>Has anyone gotten testosterone replacement treatments or taken steroids how did it make you feel?

Never did.
Not sure if tested for testosteron levels.
I lent (abstain from animal-based food) for many days a year, nearly half a year… while my peers don't. SAD!

>>300441
>You can be born smart and everything but if the pleasure center is all fucked up, you are doomed to spend a life of stagnation. There is no motivation to achieve anything.


come to think of it, this is EXACTLY what quackery fans achieve by eating Kellog's

>>300501
>I don't want to praise this stuff but I never understood why people online say this. You only take these kind of drugs when you are already anhedonic, depressed, dysphoric, numbed, apathetic, emotionally dead, a zombie. In that case they can help. When you are not like, and you feel emotions and drive, they might make you anhedonic, but then you wouldn't take them anyways. So this argument makes no sense to me. The worst that can happen is that they don't change shit.
They can work but sometimes they're prescribed to the wrong people.

>>302777
Or, what's worse, a doctor may put a wizard off SSRIs because of this "sexual disfunction side effect" worry.

>>303272
it's no worry. It's very real. Look up PSSD and see how many people ssris destroyed, they killed my dick and they'll kill yours. Never ever take meds, you can feel better without them, it just takes time. never ever take kike meds.

>>303291
>wizard
>it's no worry. It's very real. Look up PSSD and see how many people ssris destroyed, they killed my dick and they'll kill yours.

I don't get it! I don't need an erection by anyway since I am a wizard, isn't that so by default? I don't watch xxx videos though…

Don't quit but take a break, dumbass. Give your body time to recover for as long as you can bare it, then resume drinking but do it moderately. No reason to be a quitter but if you feel like shit it's not because you drink, it's because you drink too much. This is very simple.

I'd drink more if I could but I get crazy heartburn from it. Might be a blessing in disguise really.

>>302917
I was considering smoking but it doesn't do anything for me. Weed as well, tried it about 4 times and I just feel a little tired. I wish I could experience the happiness its often associated with

>>302637
Because this could mean a beer (330ml) each day, or chugging 2.4L on any given day of the week.

>>303153
same situation
i just drink anyway lmao
and sometimes it goes away
it depends on how severe your GERD is

I developed a severe and permanent case of tinnitus as a result of damage in my internal ear, this year. When I focus on something, it becomes as loud as a hundred of cicadas screaming in my ear. I'm not able to enjoy things as much as I used to.

Before that, I didn't realize how good having a good health was.

>>303249
Serious suggestion: try wearing cheap airmax replica - say Hoco W35 big hedaphones. Wireless, cheap, you can wear them. Think of my suggestion as a indea to give your ears a warm gear to wear, not just "music to drown the noise"

Oh, and keep a bunch of earbuds handy. First time you wear big headphones for hours, your ears may itch from all the earwax getting soft.

>>303266
I'm thinking of something that doesn't cancel noises like bone conducting headphones so I can still use earbuds to listen something on another device or watch simply TV or anything that require you to concentrate on sounds that comes from outside.

>>303279
True, but my HOCOs cost ~15$, "why not give them a try" price.

Besides, they have a 3,5mm jack for a regular audio wire - you can use them as "usual headphones" for more traditional devices also

>>303279
I do support this idea - street hearing is a good idea. I guess I should try such a device also…

>>302770
Update: no other vomiting happened later even after coffee


Maybe you also drink *too much* milk?


also


what your room's temperature? And what's your sleeping place?

>>302379
I take it OP has left the…

>>303319
I'm still here and still suffering, I went to the ER half a month ago and they found nothing, today my belly hurt all day long

>>303326
And you still chug a frikton of same stuff as always?


man…

I really dont know shit about anyone's life


kinda *wish* it all were wiped

>>302379
OP can you describe your diet in as much detail as possible? I'm curious.

>>303054
As fake as "shitty life syndrome" :) ? (looking at you, >>301917)

Interesting thing is, sometimes stress triggers a "non-ishemic myopathy", example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takotsubo_cardiomyopathy

>>303054
thanks for your support

>>303318
There's no support to be found here. If you don't have a loving family or friends you're fucked. Try turning your brain off and stop caring. That usually works for anxiety.

>>303320
Point taken

It seems the people at high school remained who they were and nobody changed. The nerds all got tech office jobs, the smart kids became lawyers and doctors. The kids smoking weed behind the bikesheds became eventual full on crack addicts and hard druggies. The gregarious guy became a radio host. The autistic kid became a transgender who looks exactly like the ACK meme. The delinquents that dropped out around 14 got jobs working nightshift at a factory or doing labouring jobs.

r/inherentism helps with this feel.

A new Ferrari SF90 is 800k these days. Aint nobody leasing or financing one. We'd be talking 10-15k monthly payments.

Driving one means the person is filthy rich and bought it with cash.

>>303303
Not him, but I've known people with oil rig money that have absolutely crashed down financially after the oil rig gets mothballed.

Normies are unfathomably stupid with money.
