>I feel like BBQing could be a fun hobby.
It's one of the original hobbies going back to caveman times. Standing by a fire and watching raw meat slowly turn in to a delectable meal is a form of meditation. Learning subtle ways to manipulate the meat on the grill to turn out better, how to season and prepare meat for your distinct tastes.. It's a primal self-serving hobby that can also be used to feed your entire family (of tulpas)

>can't afford to risk ending up in a wheelchair,
If you had a horse, you wouldn't need a wheelchair at all. You have a living quadruped chair that can take you places.

I didnt go out much so i dont know. I regret not visiting there. I wonder if it would be a good place to live since the climate is cooler on the mountains

thought the same, its a lot easier to breathe up there

Love walking in the woods. Sometimes I go for an hour, sometimes less. Luckily I live rurally so I usually don't encounter a single other person on my trips. I have some busted up hiking boots that I need to replace once I have money, I'd like to get some minimal trail shoes. I had some Nikes a long time ago where you could feel the little stones and shape of the terrain as you walked, I want that again. I usually don't take pics unless I remember to bring my old digicam.

I have been walking 3 hours everyday since October since I'm currently a NEET it is the best way for me distract myself and when I get home I normally take a nice hot shower lay in bed and nap for 2 hours.

Honestly I have seen a good different on my physical performance and body but the best to come out of this is really just not being so angry at the world so often. I love walking

i like to walk to the library, feels good to use my body as the means of transportation and i kind of look down on the people using the stupid bus with. i don't ride the camerabus.

Sorry, I was taking a break from Wizchan for the past couple of months to focus on other priorities.

I used to enjoy penny hunting too. I would always run a magnet over the rolls first and then open any that were magnetic and take out the 1943 cents, then go through the rest. I mostly got mine through coin dealers instead of banks, so it was mostly wheat pennies with some Indian heads mixed in.

Washington has not changed as far as I can tell, but I believe that they are using a new die. Probably changed out the die for the "Crossing the Delaware" quarter. They should have stuck with Washington themed quarters, kind of like the Life of Lincoln pennies from 2009. Unfortunately, I do not see these sort of special series in common denominations returning aside from the succubi of color quarters, which, as far as I can tell, nobody really likes.

Personally, I would change the dime, though. I prefer Mercury to FDR (I have the gold Mercury dime from a while ago), so I would like to see a return to that, but if it had to be a president, then Theodore Roosevelt or Ulysses S. Grant would be my choices and would give some good opportunities for different reverses (early life, military careers, etc.).

I wish you the best of luck in finding a job. I won big on scratch-offs, so I am pretty okay, despite also not having a job at the moment. My last job I quit after 11 months because it was off the book and paid comically low. I usually do well with off the book jobs (usually $20-30k/year with no taxes), this job was $1200/year because the boss kept charging "expenses" (it would have been $30k, but the boss took 97% of it away and gave me a list of bullshit reasons). What you get when you work off the book, so I cannot be upset (though I did work over 4000 hours for the money, which works out to be a little under $0.30/hour).

I guess I could sell all my bullion and coins and be able to live for a few years on it, but I would rather wait a little bit longer before then.

Got a job across the country years ago and was interesting to see the different mint marks. never seen many S marks east of the rockies. ended up finding
>4 war nickles
>1 steel penny
>handful of silver dimes
>$2 in silver quarters
>3 40% half dollars
at the time, 2019, i figured the odds of finding silver quarters in rolls was at least 1:10,000. the steel penny was the coolest though. always heard of them but never seen one in the wild

Krugerrands are very nice, they're cheaper than U.S or Canadian and they're very recognized, also they're an alloy so they're scratch resistant

silver is escaping orbit presently

Any coollectors, got some of these

Even magnetic tape is. You really can't fuck it up unless you put a neodymium magnet right on top of it. And if you are worried about heat you are more likely to boil water that bake the magnetic moment directions.

Invested in a lot of blurays and backups and storage only to realize I don't have anything worth caring about enough to ever bother backing up.
Honestly most stuff hoarded at random I'm probably better of losing.

What even are you guys saving?

Biggest single one for me is copies of my Playstation/2 ISOs - because Sony can't be trusted and the hardware will wear and fade.

I can buy 10 512gb flash drives for 23 euro, think I'll do that instead

>>70941
That is not a very good idea for archiving, flash media is very volatile and over time after a few years or even just months of not being used it can lose data.
It seems more convenient but isn't an option for archiving.

Your best bet are still M-discs but if you really hate them get a nas and use it in RAID 5, its much more expensive tho.

Thanks, though I'm surprised how well this looked despite my then lack of proper knowledge (I realized the only thing I concidentially did right was "progress the action").
Your animation looks splendid, especially with the way you grabbed the horizon and turned it into a table, really creative ^^.

If you're interested like I was in going further here's animator Richard Williams' entire course (he directed stuff like The Theif and the Cobbler and all of the animation in Roger Rabbit)

I find it hypocritical how they glaze over specific serial killers, but never ones from brazil/mexico or blacks from the projects who are far more vicious than any of the standard american ones. They're all equally fucking hideous, yet foids seem to arbitrarily differentiate it. In modern day, there are far more serial killers across the world than in any era, yet they'll almost never be glazed the same way. The mexican chainsaw politician man for example, who was all over the news, esp. mexican news a decade ago, yet no foid glazes over him. The recent takedown of major cartel boss El Zambaya or something, who's committed some of the most vicious murders in cartel history with a massive bodycount that would make any 80s killer shudder, yet no foid glazes him. I mean, this dude murdered a young boy and his police father in the most brutal method imaginable, ripped his heart out and everything. There are african warlords who kill random people for sport and eat people on camera.

Yet foids consistently glaze over the most unremarkable, old ass killers from long ago. If they're gonna be mentally ill perverse retarded whores with loose leaky holes, then at least stay consistent. But meh, I suppose thats too much to ask from foids lmao

Maybe I'm just in an american echo chamber, maybe they get glazed outside my field of view. I'm just saying what I have seen.

I dont exactly understand foids very well so perhaps someone could explain this anomaly. Maybe my fellow wizard had a mother like this? I am unfortunately motherless :'(

>el zambaya
retard, its' EL MAYO.(ZambaDa) Zambaba is his surname (real name) ,not his nickname\alias.
also Z42 and Z40 killed way more people, Z40, el Chayo, and el R1 from cjng were cannibals. el acido and el cherry of CDG, too, notorious cannibals.
ramon arellano COOKED a human heart and ate it.

Memento, boring and dull.

Watched The Raven, the Corman movie.
Other than Lenore and the daughter, Vincent Price's character's life looked comfy as hell. He was very good at acting alongside the raven, too.
Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and a very you Jack Nicholson all in the same movie really is something else.

Same. I just got back from the late evening subtitled showing. Theatre was packed with cool dudes. It's actually a manga I'd like to pick up.

I have flatest feet possible, so much it is now ruins my knees. But back when I attempted sports, I bought soft yet bouncy insoles that were tremendously helpful.

I'd count drawing if you go for digital, get a tablet and a stylus, and then you're good to go! Even cheaper ones work well, I use a cheap used tablet and a capacitive stylus.

I will try to find the articles; but there is a "theoretical genocide", posited by a Soviet-era demographer-historian, that 1 million or more (!) people died of starvation during the Great Depression in USA, as well as Roosevelt's PAW engineer projects being literally gulags in the marshes and swamps

>>71196
The researcher, Boris Borisov, in his article titled “The American Famine” estimated the victims of the financial crisis in the US at over seven million people. The researcher also directly compared the US events of 1932-1933 with Holodomor, or Famine, in the USSR during 1932-1933.
>https://www.rt.com/usa/interview-with-boris-borisov/
B.B.: Seven and a half million people does not mean the number of particular victims of the famine, but a general demographic loss, or the difference between the supposed population on the date of the census that was due to be held in 1940 and the factual number of people. In reality, the total demographic loss is bigger. The fact is not contested by anyone. The figure is more than ten million people.

>>71198
Voluntary defenders of U.S. values who venture to discuss the matter with me, normally begin with a statement that those people were simply not born. However, if we take the age pyramid and distribute the people according to their dates of birth, it becomes apparent that 5.5 million children and two million grown-ups are missing from the 7.5 million. So, those two million people could not have been non-existent – as they had been born. They could only die.

The overall loss in ten years could be estimated as being from four – or slightly fewer – to six – or slightly more – million.
Let me quote some figures, if you don’t mind – demonstrating how other countries reacted to the similar situation. If you believe that four or six million people is a terrible number, let me quote this: male mortality rate in Russia: 810,000 in 1984; 1,226,000 in 1994 – whereas the population is the same. In other words, as compared with 1984, the year 1996 had an additional number of 416,000 dead males. You have to add females and children to that figure.
https://herecomeschina.com/p/11-million-americans-starved-to-death
According to the US statistics, the US lost 8, 553,000 people from 1931 to 1940. Afterwards, population growth indices change twice instantly exactly between 1930-1931: the indices drop and stay on the same level for ten years. There can no explanation to this phenomenon found in the extensive text of the report by the US Department of Commerce “Statistical Abstract of the United States,” the author wrote.

I wish magic worked. I recited Ipos enn for months to try to make me less shy and more charismatic and nothing happened.
It was weird, it makes me feel "phantom" sensations in my body, as if something was moving inside me. But there was never any change in my personality :/

Renaissance magic interests me. A time in which the hard division between science and the occult had not yet been made. The idea that there are hidden sympathies or connections in reality that humans can tap into and exploit.
Science is the study of the behaviour of natural phenomenon and description according to mathematical laws. Religion is the invocation of supernatural beings such as Gods through prayer and ritual. Magic is tapping into these hidden sympathies in reality. Like glitches or cheat codes in a game perhaps.

Physics is understanding the mechanics of the game and how objects behave in this world. Perhaps there is a deeper source code for reality. Something someone can tap into. Some hidden glitches or codes.

I have never seen evidence of anything ‘supernatural’ in the way magicians and occultists describe. Most of the technology we use right now would seem beyond our ancestors wildest dreams almost but nobody is impressed or in awe for long. Computers and AI become wrapped into our everyday life despite it being more incredible than most magic imagined during the past 2000 years. Something about the hidden-ness of the occult and its exclusivity gives it an appeal. Some hidden sympathies or things missed by science that only a few are privy to.

>>71192
I think it also has to do with the fact that magic is perceived as a solitary endeavor. Science and engineering are team efforts that involve several people collaborating to reach a particular goal. The wizard or witch, on the other hand, is a lonely figure living on the fringes of society, performing strange rituals that only a select few understand.

It looks very romantic to pursue the secrets of the universe alone in your room through magic, but of course it's all utter bullshit. None of that works.

Hi there, i the Psychonautic Wizz
>Golden Dawn stuff
We all know is all made up but the techniques worked back in time and even when the gd members learned that's all made up and even after that, why? Who knows. Florence Farr and Crowley are the best examples, Assuption of godforms sound like a method actor technique to alter your personality for a while, banishing and invocation can turn your mind chill, holy, focused if you achieve the experience, evocation is like a pray and can let you feel safe or relaxed, visualizations can relax and focus your mind and body, Kabalistic tree can be used as a mnotechnique device for memory arts, you learn to sing and to move in soft ways in rituals and that focus more your mind, you learn color theory, art, history, myth, Hypnosis and beliefs. You learn how to make talisman that maybe work or not but the whole process is kinda hypnotic to your mind and the new material thing with supposed occult hidden forces attached to it. You learn new ways to think and in same way can achieve altered states of mind thanks to focus in rituals, associations, colors, smells, tattwas, etc. You achieve OBE and a lot of interesting experiences. Sigils can be a kinda art therapy and learn you no-attachment to results if you get in good terms the theory.
You didnt learn anything useful Wizz? You just do it for money or woo-woo powers? Learn the no attachment to result, no lure for results, the middle, the game of hodge podge and you maybe will learn how magick and hypnosis work.
Start to see it in a Psychonautic agnostic way, start to see it in a way that you are playing with your nerveous system.

>It was weird, it makes me feel "phantom" sensations in my body, as if something was moving inside me. But there was never any change in my personality
You achieved a experience, keep doing or chill out. But the best questions is, if you want to change your personality is something natural to you or forced? Its just a thing of behaviours and routines, try some psychal exercise, somatic exercises and maybe some meditation things first.
