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?

Does anyone here do deadlifts? I'm thinking about working to get a god-tier deadlift. My first goal is to make it up to 405lbs deadlift and then see how far I can take it from there. Right now I can do 255 for 5x5. Any wizbros here with tips?

Right now I'm 80 lbs overweight and need to stop eating so much food. The problem is I'm addicted to food and since I'm a 28 year old virgin, it's not like I have much else to do so it's gonna be hard to cut back on the food. Does anyone also have tips on how to feel full and not feel the need to eat food?

Depends on your goals and proclivities.

Like I workout to make myself better at my hobbies and make my work feel easier.
I don't need to be the biggest most strongest in the whole world for it to be worth my time.

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?

I stopped driving because I've made bad decisions and mistakes on the road because of ADHD. Now I'm on some meds and want to try again. I'll buy some lessons

>Do you have a driver's licence?
not yet, right now Im attending the course to obtain it though. I finished the theory classes last week (it was stressing as hell for me not gonna lie, I had to sit in a school class with 17-18yo spoiled upper-middle class looking whores for over 30 hours) and this week I proceeded to driving with a trainer. I was suprised that he let me drive the training car by myself on public roads on day one already. the whole course should be finished in 6-7 weeks if everything goes right since Its only 4 hours of driving a week. also I live in one of the major cities so driving here is way harder than in smaller towns or rural areas especially in the rush hours when there are traffic jams everywhere and some people really drive like crazy + I additionally have to deal with trams and trains everywhere
>In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.
Im in central europe and in the best case if I dont fail the exam the course takes up to 60 hours divided to 8 weeks.
>My motivation was (…)
I just thought that it would be an useful skill to have and a pretty important developmental milestone, also my parents offered to cover all the costs for my course (Its around 1000 euro here). they also have a car I will be able to use if I get my drivers license plus Im tired of having to deal with drunk aggressive hobos/other lowlifes all the time in public transit.

Nope, see no reason to outside of living in remote rural settlements. At least in Russian cities with over 50k population, taxi cabs are everpresent, can be ordered in 5-10 minutes, cheaper than having and maintaining a car and you can do whatever you want while someone else is driving.

I don't feel comfortable sharing my /x/ fantasies here because some cryptonormie is gonna shit on it. You know how you can really like a song, but then you hear some normie listening to it on a bus or something, and the song is ruined for you? It's like that.

But it has to do with souls having genders; there are feminine souls, and there are masculine souls. And yes, one can be a soul in an opposite-gender body.

Theres lots of guides, but if you look for a cracked version of "offline explorer" on https://1337x.to/ that's like the paid for user friendly version. Otherwise you're looking at httrack.com or some WARC archival tools, or some stuff. Looking on reddit will bring up people who archive lots of sites talking about tools.

Got clickbaited into learning about en and em dashes. The title has almost nothing to do with the majority of the content, which was really just a framing device to spend a half hour yapping about grammar.
Don't recall them ever going over them in school, so learned something new.
Still, video lacked focus to the extreme. How can something be so clearly scripted yet at the same time so rambling.

Wrote a few paragraphs using em dashes.
Conclusion, them not having a key of their own make them a pain in the ass to use while writing.
I will instead use a dash with spaces around it while writing then convert it into a em dash during editing.

I have ran out of steam on the book I was working on again.
This time dropping only 8 chapters in.

I think rather than epic fantasy I will write a stand alone horror book and try to keep the world building limited and focus on developing the characters.

King Von is dead. He was such a real nigga that his opps in prison felt sad when he passed away. Like he killed our people but what a legend. Rare specimen. They couldn't believe it and left a deep sigh.

Once he was questioned by the cops and they said "You and T.Roy are the talk of the streets. Be wary". The info about their shootings and their enemies plans reached even the police. He was a valuable shooter for his set. Without him the score would be way less. He felt in jail and prison like fish in the water so much that goofies on YouTube whine about him romanticizing it in his interviews where he simply told his experience. Never snitched too. The story about him putting $100,000 on FBG Duck is prolly fake. The chains were bought long before the killing. Muwop and others killed FBG Duck because one person from THF said he was trapped and about to be attacked. Hence why they rushed so fast and got caught. FBG Duck was fucking that person's baby mother (ex). When in court it was revealed he was in no danger, 5 members of O'Block 6 (one killed himself before arrest) gave him a side eye. That's for real.

Unfortunately for all involved from all sides.

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)..

Life is nothing but a slog, only purpose of life is to reproduce and give your kin the best conditions, whether that be by improving your country, earning money, and forging alliances when necessary but ultimately driven by what is good for the propagation of your genetics and you will to live. That' what it all is about. This is all the philosophy you need. Life is pointless if we don't account for reproduction, you just live, and hope that you have fun. And we all should as wizards have fun with our lives.

oh yeah, that's a subtlety i wasn't considering when i asked. i had in mind empirical representation and not pure intuition. still, i think that's a strange chart to convey the basics of his system.

Thank you.
I've tried using GIMP, but my computer seems to reject most of it. Eh, I kind of want to try rotoscoping one day, it seems easier than redrawing the movements albeit with a more cartoony feel. I'm all for mouse and tablets, but I'm the kind of guy who gets lazy when I have professional contemporary equipment at my disposal, compared to accomplishing a classic traditional effect when I'm without complacency or a comfort zone.
Fortunately Mr. Partridge's tutorial series on universal principles and techniques can be found online, which was a huge stepping stone on more levels than expected:

I can kinda see what you mean. If you follow in the foot steps of someone else, you'll be a mediocre imitation at best. If you learn it your own way, there is the potential to develop your own unique style. But that will take full commitment, you can't half-assedly draw as some side hobby.

I'm using sage because I don't even draw, but I do some other thing and I deliberately avoid tutorials and guides because I don't want them to influence my style.

Maybe, but it's not as if I'm basing myself strictly on Mr. Partridge. William's The Animator's Survival Kit is also resourceful despite the esoteric boomer humor with that one bit on classical music as is Janet Nunn's contribution.
Anyway I just like animation, mate. It's not Squid Games: cartoonist edition or something.
