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?

finding a hobby as a depressed NEET
The only hobby I had for a long time was gaming. Recently I quit cold turkey and I need something else to fill the time. I've been reading instead and that's pretty fun but it isn't as comfy as gaming. I need to find something that makes me want to wake up in the morning but everything I try I get bored of. Sometimes it's a few months, sometimes a few years, sometimes a week, but I get bored. No hobbies really sound interesting to me, and even if they do there's always something shitty about them. Should I just go back to gaming?

Mathematics thread 1+1+1
Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners.

My interest in astronomy has expanded recently to direct observation instead of just reading books and editing Wikipedia articles. I found an old Nikon 8x42 (basic bird-watching equipment) in a drawer the other day and decided to give it a shot. I know better than to punch above my weight, and you can pretty much forget about deep-sky objects or even other planets when you have a simple binoculars for terrestrial observation, so my best shot is to focus on the closest astronomical object from Earth. I got a couple of lunar atlases online, a couple of lunar calendars, and read the basics about selenography.
It's basically impossible to do any serious astronomical observation by simply holding the binoculars in place, even if you're sitting down. It's just way too shaky, so I strapped the thing to the top rail of a chair, placed that chair over another one and basically made a makeshift tripod. Works perfectly and I have both my hands free to check the lunar atlas or stellarium.
It's amazing how much one can observe with a stable binoculars, some patience and a lunar atlas at hand. The more familiar you get with the lunar surface, the more you'll be able to see, and even though I have only gazed at the moon for about 5 hours total so far, it's fairly easy to get familiar with its basic features. Having the atlas close by to consult just what the heck you're looking at helps immensely. Under certain light conditions, even a shallow, small crater will create an enormously long shadow that you can observe easily.
Picture attached is all the stuff I was able to observe and firmly identify so far. Two days worth of observation. The picture is not accurate to what I was actually seeing, as the moon was waxing when I was looking at it, and this picture shows a full moon, though I'll use this to update everything I manage to identify. For example, the crater Clavius is quite distinct during certain lunar phases, but in the picture it's barely visible. Seas and oceans (basaltic plains) are the most obvious stuff, and you usually begin with those since it's so distinct and easily identifiable. Then you start noticing the bays (recesses of the seas), craters and recently I managed to observe a lunar swirl, though it took me a minute to realize it. Btw if you're located in the northern hemisphere, this picture is inverted for you.
I've been keeping a very simple journal in order to keep track of my observations and also it's what I look up when updating the picture I attached. The process is very straightforward, it's an 'entry per day' type of thing. Here's an example from yesterday.

Picture attached is all the stuff I was able to observe and firmly identify so far. Two days worth of observation. The picture is not accurate to what I was actually seeing, as the moon was waxing when I was looking at it, and this picture shows a full moon, though I'll use this to update everything I manage to identify. For example, the crater Clavius is quite distinct during certain lunar phases, but in the picture it's barely visible. Seas and oceans (basaltic plains) are the most obvious stuff, and you usually begin with those since it's so distinct and easily identifiable. Then you start noticing the bays (recesses of the seas), craters and recently I managed to observe a lunar swirl, though it took me a minute to realize it. Btw if you're located in the northern hemisphere, this picture is inverted for you.
I've been keeping a very simple journal in order to keep track of my observations and also it's what I look up when updating the picture I attached. The process is very straightforward, it's an 'entry per day' type of thing. Here's an example from yesterday.
-
Date:
13th March, 2025
Lunar phase:
14th day, (4th phase) waxing gibbous
Time of observation:
19:30 - 21:00 (rain at 21:00, no visibility afterwards)
Craters:
(3 total) Grimaldi (dm. 173.49 km), Aristarchus (dm. 40 km), Pythias (dm. 20 km)
Seas:
Mare Humorum
Oceans:
Procellarum
Bays:
Sinus Iridum (dm. 249 km), Sinus Roris (dm. 202 km)
Montes: -
Lunar Swirls:
Reiner Gamma (dm. 70 km)
The one pain about astronomical observation is the weather. I began trying to watch the moon 10 days ago and only got clear skies for a couple of days so far. It's been really cloudy lately.

Paranormal
After Reading Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods, I wonder if it’s possible the existence of an ancient and lost civilization like those books described. I know a couple of books who give more evidence of that. 2 books written by the Spanish investigator Javier Sierra, called: En busca de la edad de oro and La Ruta Prohibida, if you want to read them. But, the only book I know who gives a serious proof of that is Hamlet’s Mill. That makes me think if the civilization is cyclical and the event that erase a possible civilization could happen again to us. Just think about it.

1) Create a project.
-Set out a goal
goal ——> higher goal ——> The ultimate goal
Write your goals and step them out to make sure you choose the optimal path to reach your goal. And be as verbose as possible. e.g. instead of writing I will learn French, write I will learn 50 French words.
Also, be honest to yourself. Is your goal achievable? Lofty goals will cause you to lose your motivation.
-Determine the necessary materials.
If you are taking courses in a university etc. necessary materials will be provided to you. But if you are learning by yourself, find the books you think you will need and choose the best 2-3 (from my experience, most popular books usually are the best ones.).
-Determine the time it takes to reach your goal
Again, if you are taking courses, you are on a fixed schedule, write down the starting and ending dates. And fill the time in between with the material you will need to cover
If you are a self-learner use the bottom-up method. Calculate the total time required to finish the project by determining the number of hours you will work each week and the amount of material you need to complete.
-Split the project into weekly tasks
You now know the time required to finish your project. Split it into weekly tasks.
-Set checkpoints between your starting point and your goal and Update the schedule
At the end of every week, assess where you are in the project and test your knowledge. If you are behind or ahead of schedule, adjust the plan for the following weeks accordingly. It's not important if you stay loyal to your plan or not every week, the important thing is that you reach your goal in time by adjusting the project.
I will also write about attention and learning techniques when I have the time.

>that sport where you use roller blades in your 4 limbs and slide trough-down speeding cars
>train-hopping (not trainspotting), pioneered in Germany by "youth gangs"
>"expose risk challenges" Bringing a banned item into a place and photographing yourself holding it. Like that nerd with the LSD tablet in Mecca. Maybe Mein Kampf inside a synagogue, a portrait of Bomber Harris inside a Berlin pub, whatever

Photography
Recently I've been getting into photography. I've found that after doing so, I perceive moments in different ways. Things simultaneously seem more transient, yet more permanent. It's a sensation that's difficult to describe, except to say that I am more 'aware' of the moments around me. For obvious reasons I have avoided urban areas, but in terms of landscapes and natural shots, it is quite peaceful.Any photography hobbyists here?

To this end, I've been looking for ways to enhance my ability to daydream, and have recently gotten interested in writing fiction (which there's already a thread here about it >>59403 ), tulpas (plenty of threads about that stuff), and in solo roleplaying. I don't see anything about solo roleplaying games, though, so I thought I'd make a thread about it.
I've tried solo roleplaying before in very naive attempts, but you run across the obvious pitfall: the temptation to metagame your character against knowledge that should only be privy to the GM or other characters is just too much. Quickly, it becomes unrealistic. I'm just getting started in this space, so I don't know a whole lot, but some of the systems (oracle systems like Mythic GM, for example) and techniques (solo episode journaling) that have been developed are a lot more advanced and appealing than I thought they'd be.
If anyone knows about any good solo RP systems or thoughts about it, please share.

Many people act like simply researching these very alternative ideas is damaging in and of itself. Popular on wizchan youtuber named "K9 Aversion" recently announced she will no longer be creating content simply because people among her fanbase were discussing 5G towers and anti-vaxx ideas within her communities. Discussion alone is so offensive? Why? I do not even believe many of the ideas proposed myself and just enjoy thinking about them.
Because of these extreme reactions, I feel it necessary to give this disclaimer. Again, I do not necessarily believe the things proposed in this thread but rather enjoy thinking about it.
Please do not discuss theories that are political in nature in this thread. I don't want it to be deleted, although I find them interesting as well.
Some examples I've been thinking about lately:
- Alien abductions are real, however they differ from the normalfag idea of an alien abduction in that real abductions occur spiritually and not physically. And these abductions are NEVER to your benefit and you leave very unhealthy and emotionally damaged. They happen during the sleep normally, however sometimes they can happen while awake and when this happens it's similar to a date rape drug– you have a 2-5 hour blank spot in your memory when you "wake up" and have a feeling of general unease.
- The extension of the flat earth theory which claims the entire sky is a hologram, and sometimes that no planets except Earth exist. There are many youtube videos that document sky hologram "glitches".
- Alternatively (not flat earth related), that the sky is itself a giant living organism and that it sometimes sends shards of itself down to attack or observe people (they look like blue blankets and fly at great speeds.)
- You can fall through the ground like a video game glitch and get stuck in an infinite void on certain parts of the planet.
- Dinosaurs existed up until the early 1900's as evidenced by dinosaur tracks on the top layer of the earth that are way too well preserved to be from 60,000,000 years ago.
- Some gnostic wizards think that if they become spiritually elevated enough that they can cease ingesting food of any kind and live healthily off of sunlight, positive thoughts and positive vibrations sent from other people alone, and never have to eat a physical meal ever again.
Just some examples of non-political theories, you do not have to discuss these in particular.

I was personally always more intrested in the more obscure and mysterious places that you never see on TV, and how people live there. Some islands in the middle of nowhere, certain African countries with an unremarkable present but a cool history, the mountain villages of Tibet, stuff like that. I've travelled around Europe a bit and was shocked how big a difference in culture there is between countries so close by, in the countless details of culture, food, architecture, people's temperament, and so on. I'm hoping to save up enough for a trip to Asia and/or Africa. There's a lot to experience out there.
Interesting countries to visit
As the several traveling threads prove, there are plenty of wizards who are curious about the world. Here, we talk about our traveling wishes and interests in a more abstract and general sense. What countries have you visited? What were your experiences? What countries are you curious about visiting and why? Any particular place you'd avoid like the plague? It doesn't matter if your traveling ideas are realistic or not, just share what interests you.I was personally always more intrested in the more obscure and mysterious places that you never see on TV, and how people live there.

So I said fuck it, and instead I decided to read the Linux Bible. But then I found out there's an Ubuntu Linux Bible by the same author, and so that's what I'm reading now. Straight to the point, concise, has exercises, not as many as I would like, but I can come up with variations on my own. Today is the third day I'm following the book, and I intend to make a daily post, briefly talking about the stuff I've learned on that day.
The first day was pretty much just going through the fluff. What Linux is, history of Linux, Unix, GNU, what open source is, etc. That's the first 20 pages of the book's 718 pages.
The second day I read about the X Window System, desktop environments, GNOME desktop, Nautilus file manager, and ways to run Linux (live medium, permanent install, etc.). The exercises consist of messing around with the GUI pretty much, something you would naturally do in a fresh install of an OS. I also had to install Ubuntu because I was running Windows. I got lucky because Ubuntu 24.04.1 came with some broken packages for Nvidia drives, and that of course fucked my shit up, which was a very excellent opportunity to do some tinkering and learning. I got it to work, it only took me an hour or so. I read people saying this is the most broken Ubuntu update in years, which I take as a good sign for my timing. And then I broke Light Locker while changing to Xfce as my desktop environment.
Anyway, third day, today, I finally reach the meat of the book and begin messing around with the shell, trying different commands, pretty simple stuff, whoami, pwd, ls, cd, command syntax, hyphenated options for command's behavior, locating commands, and really, just getting comfortable to mess around in the terminal. Also did some expanding commands like | sort | less and other basic nice stuff. There's a chapter talking about other Shell environments, but since Bash is the most common, I'm sticking to it. I just stopped on page 66, right at 'Creating and using aliases.' I skipped ahead a little bit and tried the exercises, and I'm happy to say I managed to do all of them. Of course, checking history helped quite a lot. Tomorrow I'll be looking at this whole alias thing and messing around with Bash config files.
Linux thread btw I guess.
Linux yet again
I always played around with it in a very disengaged, uncommitted manner. Well, on September 2nd, just a few days ago, I decided to really learn Linux to the point I could truthfully add to my resume to help me find a position somewhere. For that reason, I picked Ubuntu, possibly the most popular, all-purpose Linux distribution out there. I began doing the edx's version of the Linux Foundation's Introduction to Linux course because of the bells and whistles they have there in terms of exercises and whatnot. Unfortunately, they peppered the whole course with unbelievably idiotic mini videos geared towards morons. Imagery of douchebags with designer haircuts typing away at a laptop with some coolcorp background and annoying music.So I said fuck it, and instead I decided to read the Linux Bible. But then I found out there's an Ubuntu Linux Bible by the same author, and so that's what I'm reading now.
