Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

I went on a trip with my family as a kid to some heavy volcanic/geothermal city in my country and on the property we stayed on there were these little finernail sized rocks all black and with some red specs on them. We collected them as we were using them for tokens/cash for the poker games we were playing. I found one the size of my full adult hand, about as thick as a dictionary too. I know it's somewhere in my garage but I can't find it.. I loved that rock I used to pretend it was magical as a kid, and it reminds me of better times. I'll post it here If I find it.

Discussion about the lucrative, dangerous, and interesting hobby of Dumpster Diving.

High priority finds: Anything worth $$$, duh. Here's some examples:
-PC/Electronic equipment
-Sealed products, boardgames, clothing etc
-Food(sealed and safe)
-Anything you can use

Every day at my job I throw away several thousands of dollars of supermarket goods that are still good but we cannot legally sell them. Sometimes the seal is slightly broken and if anyone gets sick from that, that's a 6 or 7 digit number we get fined, so it's easier to avoid that altogether and claim insurances. Every single night people raid our dumpster. It makes sense.

I also used to use this method to survive decently while I was homeless.

Please post your thoughts and experiences

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?

cheap cars, however, are reliable thanks to being simple enough to rattle, to make noises before breaking down to a halt

I recently wanted to buy either an MX-5 or MR2 but I've just learned they are top priority targets to be stolen and stripped for parts to sell. Same with most cool cars these days. Can't have shit anymore

Put in some GPS trackers.

Bonus points for restoring an MR2 and inserting some GPS trackers right into the plastic.
You can also plaster "GPS" stickers along some Y2K stickers, haha

The same goes to owning a Mustang Foxbody or Pontiac Fiero.

Also. AFAIK, Dodge Challengers are way worse in this regard, since Challengers come with a built-in latch that unlocks the car's something to make repo-ing easier.

In my country JDM cars are the absolute top priority for theft. The other are cars easily broken into such as various hyundais, toyota aquas, mazda demios and lower value subaru imprezzas (less likely to be immobilized). Sadly even with a GPS tracker we won't get much help from the police. Also these shops work so damn fast, they can have a car in pieces in hours depending on how quickly they want to hide it. I've also heard they can kill GPS trackers, atleast they claim that. I really have no clue about all of this which is another reason I'm just avoiding it all together.

I'll just get a rough fun manual to drive.

I had a dream where I was browsing the Nintendo 3DS e-shop even though I haven't done that in maybe 10 years. Somehow I found a way to browse games by their developer and I was just going past a bunch of shovelware devs until I suddenly hit one that triggered a remote code execution exploit and infected my 3DS with malware.
The e-shop closed and my top screen started showing live footage of the inner camera while the bottom screen was some weird picture that somebody stitched together in Photoshop. There was a TTS voice telling the developer to make a desert-themed game. When that voice finished there was a sudden jump scare which played at maximum volume despite my volume slider being low. It scared the shit out of me. Afterwards it showed a popup saying that the video of me being jumpscared was being uploaded to their servers and that I should not power off the system while it was doing so. I tried using the internet slider to turn my 3DS' wifi connection off before the upload was complete but that didn't work.
After that I tried turning my 3DS off and on again but instead of going to the home menu the same exact sequence was just played again. This time the popup after the jumpscare said that this will now happen every single time I turn my 3DS on. All I did before I woke up after that was panick over the fact that some guy somewhere had a video of me being jumpscared.

My fellow wizards, help my please! Hear my plight!

Years ago I nearly died of disease (Covid19) and being bedridden for a month period with little to no food or water my ability to dream has diminished to the point of being nearly completely wiped from my skill tree. Is there any way to get this ability back or am I doomed to just go to the void every night?

I hate it when I see a really nice human made art and it's just plastered over with a giant NO REPOST OR AI LEARNING right in the middle that makes it look really ugly and unable to be appreciated. Their fear of AI has contributed more to the enshittification of their own art than the AI they're accusing of doing it.

Are any wizards interested in astrology? I've recently got into it and become very passionate about it. It's definetely true, and i've also started to developing my own theories that i'm hopefully going to refine with time.

its kind of hard to do casually it's complicated. If you want a really lazy thing:
1. go to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/birth-chart-horoscope-online
2. put in date of birth, time, and birth city (don't bother if you don't have the exact time)
3. save the page as a pdf
4. put it in claude or some ai thing
5. ask the most significant parts of your chart

the reason they had particular astrologers do readings is just because it's fairly complex. Things like sun sign being all people talk about is basically useless IMO (historically they would have used the ascendent as the "sign" when someone asked)
if anyone wants to post their chart from this I can give a quick reading (just enter it on astro-seek then click the button that says Hide birth data under the chart)

>>69627
>>67793
succubi being the ones into it is largely a product of it being hijacked by new-agers in the 19th century, they are basically just so fucking retarded and wrong they aren't even worth talking about. As I said above anyone saying just their sun sign is just totally out of touch.
Only in the past couple decades have we started translating the classical greek/medieval texts and that more traditional form has gotten much more popular. It's also basically all men doing the translations and that wrote those thousands of years ago.

One thing I always wanted to know, does astrology also influence animal personalities based on when they are born, or only humans? Why or why not?

It's just kinda weird to think that one planet being more to the left or more to the right when I was born influences whether I grow up introverted or extroverted.

Apparently the survivors that died this year count as victims.
With that logic I guess the casualties were actually 39 (taking into account that same "said and done" mentality)..

Old ass thread, how did I miss this all these years?
Anyway, I'm surprised so many people here talk negatively of serial killers. I mean for a site that's supposed to be for outsiders there is lots of cheap moralizing and humanism here.

I'm obsessed with serial killers, to tell the truth. It started a couple of years ago. It's the most interesting subject to me. I don't give a shit about their victims at all, most of them are succubi or your average annoying retard so what the hell, good riddance!

Favorite serial killers currently:
1.) Ed Gein
2.) Tie between: David Berkowitz-The Zodiac-BTK
3.) OP pic, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris duo

As for their psychology, most of them are normalfags (at least according to this site's definition) but they are obviously far from your average normalfag. I'd say they have a lot in common with wizards, they are loners with not much friends and had weird experiences with sexuality. I'd go so far as to say your average serial killer only differs from wizards in that he has no self-control and doesn't care about the consequences of his actions. According to FBI profilers, serial killers of the sexual kind spend a lot of time alone, daydreaming and they have a history of jerking off by themselves a lot. They also got bullied or rejected by peers at one point or another in their lives. They get obsessed with their sexual fantasy world and can't stop themselves from acting out their wishes.

I'm currently reading Unmasking Anne Frank by Ikuo Suzuki, just started today after I got the book delivered. The first few pages have been quite satisfying, so I will continue. I intend to read Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins afterwards, then the Culture of Critique trilogy by Kevin MacDonald. I still can't believe I found these books at a woke ass, liberal leftist ass bookstore. The types who stand against antisemitism. These fucks are so stupid and I'm perpetually reminded that the elites don't have full control over every aspect of society yet, the evil nature of normies keep everything naturally in alignment to their agendas on the surface.

After this, I'm thinking I'll really start reading some good programming books, not that I need them for studying, just to feed my brain. I have a list of more cryptocracy books which I intend to read one by one, they weren't written for nothing after all.
