I realized recently that one of the main problems of today is that reality is getting less real. By that I mean our collective agreement about what constitutes reality, which has always been somewhat fractious, has begun to splinter apart even more than usual. People can no longer even agree upon basic fundamental truths about reality anymore. There is so much mystical thinking coming back and replacing critical thinking. So many people profess to "believe" obviously fanciful bullshit almost as if navigating reality is just a game rather than something to take seriously. I'm watching humanity regress before my very eyes. It's interesting but also terrifying.

what do you use/recommend?

>>315969
I am not same person, but I have a Kobo Libra 2 which I am quite pleased with. It have 7 inch screen which I think is good size between being portable yet big enough for reading books. But it is too small for manga imo if you intend to use it for that too. I bought it 2 years ago so not sure what exist on the market today.

>>315968
What are you talking about specifically? I have an odd feeling that you're intentionally being evasive

>>315970
Thanks. I don't care for manga, stylus, colour or any of these fancy features. Libra 2 it is then.

By the early 1900s, Jewish bankers controlled all of the above mentioned lands in addition to having orchestrated the Bolshevik/Communist Revolution in Monarchical Russia and both world wars (the first of which resulted in innocent european men slaughtering each other to an extent that cannot be recked of and the ultimate dissolution of the Ottoman Empire — the nation that then critically held sovereignty over Palestine; the second of which resulted similarly in senseless death of innocent humans while apparently permanently crushing the last and final rival to jewish world government — national socialist Germany (though there are some that claim Nazism was financed by Jewish bankers as controlled opposition). And upon the concluding of the world wars, Israeli Jews lose little time in backing Mao to further cement their control over the Chinese and Asia generally. Therefore Russia and Germany and China as a whole are now added to their empire.

By the mid 1900s, the Jews, entering invisibly upon a conquered world, loosed the full range of their psychopathic mind by experimenting with every species of social engineering then imaginable to them, from weapons hoaxes (nuke fraud) to political hoaxes (cold war fraud) to historical hoaxes (holocaust) to literal astronomical hoaxes (moon landing fraud). Many of these frauds are still supposed true by the unthinking goyim.

By the late 1900s-early 2000s, Jewish bankers had fastened their imperialist appetites on submitting the remaining Middle eastern nations, and accordingly were presented with a problem in how to market the conquest of these countries in a way that would not be disagreeable to the deluded mass mind of their controlled democratic republics. The answer to this riddle was the strategic invention of groups like Al-Qaeda/ISIS/Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas, which are all Jewish outfits, whose main purpose was/is to create support for Israel by training the world with fear for the murderous barbarism of Islam through repeated disguised terroristic attacks on western nations, thus inventing popular backing for the overthrow of those nations that represent not only a fabricated threat to western democracies but more seriously represent an actual competitive threat to Israeli domination of the Middle east. This hellish ploy sadly proved successful, and the great jewish golem aka America Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

recent years have been very blackpilling to me in terms of politics. I can't believe I got excited for the libertarian weirdo they elected over in Argentina who has been visiting jews and wearing the tiny jew hat more than one occasion. seeing the conversations between right wing factions is making me feel the same way. nigs will keep coming in, war in middle east will commence, everything will get worse and worse with no end in sight and you cannot even talk about it without a horde of migapede tradtards attacking you.

ever since monarchies ended, politics is completely fucking fake. america lasted all of about 20 years, maybe from 1790-civil war confederacy, the confederacy states were the only real america and only became a real power house and collective state right before the civil war. other than that, monarchies were the last form of real politics as in not a theater, and that ended in like 1500s. ever since then monarchies slowly died out until saudi arabia and some other middle eastern countries are probably the only existing real political states left. maybe communist states can be considered more real

Judeo-Masonry fulfilled its first principal objective: complete destruction of every existing Catholic monarchy. They all fell. It’s almost diabolically miraculous how efficient jewish bankers really are. They took over the world and they did so with 97-98% of the general population none the wiser. The enacting of the “Covid” hoax is proof of 2 things:

(1) Jews consider the goyim to be severely brainwashed (how else would they even have thought of something as daring as this succeeding?)

(2) Humanity as a whole is dangerously suggestible and as such needs to be under the guidance of benevolent monarchs instead of satanic jews. It’s proven now that the extreme hypnotic pressure of judeo-satanic media is too great for 95% of humanity to resist.

Also: the House of Saud is Jewish. Just look up how many (((American))) military bases are in Saudi Arabia. Or even just use your basic physiognomic instincts and look upon the faces of prominent “royal” Saudis — don’t they all look jewish to you?

tldr: There are no independent nations left. The last 400-500 years of history have been a masked regression into liberal masonic communistic jewish tyranny. I cannot understand why we have tolerated jewish shenanigans for so long. From jewish-backed Cromwell to the judeo-masonic creation of America to all the anti-monarchical revolutions to the modern-day middle eastern wars – through all of this time, never once did there appear a group smart enough and strong enough to end them and reverse all their satanic "progress." It's pathetic.

By experience, you might roast them, always giving shit back to make them suffer but the best thing, what works for real is a definitive display of dangerous, crazy violence upon them.

Get ripped, and prepare for many other ways of war being made at you. You have no choice, up your stats like crazy. Humilliate them when and wherever you can, prepare, prepare… and make others know who is the villain here, without whining, just to let it be known.

Of course, this is when bullied, not when mocked. Even if the issue passes away for whatever reasons this should be a lesson for you: UP YOUR STATS. LIFE IS WAR.

Have this. Not everything is useful for a lone victim like you, but you might profit by reflecting about some exceptional cases exposed in it.

just be unstable, they'll get scared of how insane you seem and won't want to fight you cause then they'll have to kill you since you might come back and kill them or something. they don't know what you are capable of or who you are. if you act crazy enough anybody will back off unless they are also insane. it has to be a creepy level of insane or just clearly unstable as fuck.

>>301887
Think about why they're pushing you around.
Do you stink? Do you dress badly? Do you not groom well? Are you out of shape? Do you have acne? Bad breath? etc.
Fix these things. Make yourself a person that commands respect. It will help you in the long run, not just with these bullies.

that was their plan

Not in that case no. Browsers do have some impact on the functionality of a site but would not change how google's search system works on a fundamental level. Ad blockers for instance should only block ads, not real results.

Even other search engines would probably not do you much good. With every year that passes, fewer and fewer search engines offer advanced tokenizing features, and the first feature to go is always going to be Excludes because they're used to exclude results you don't want, results that some other party is likely paying good money to make you see, and smaller alt search engines are going to be more responsive to financial incentives than bing or google. And inbuilt search systems won't fare any better. Firefox's new governance wants to move towards personalized advertisement, Brave Browser already does as much, Microsoft is building ads into its AI search with more zeal than it is building scientific accuracy or user safety.

Cyberpunk 2077's search optimization is based on its recency, its popularity, its longevity (having resurged in popularity after it got enough dlc to stop having the reputation of "that hopelessly broken piece of shit"), in how much was published about it, and how much mainstream discussion it received as both a controversy and as ultimately a high profile AAA game. It did not simply game the system, and its ranking is not artificial.

Your best bet is to get more specific in a particular direction leading away from 2077 by including more terms, not by trying to exclude terms, since none of the engines want to let users exclude incorrect results anymore.

>Cyberpunk 2077's search optimization is based on its recency, its popularity, its longevity
that's the problem, it is too popular and when I search for cyberpunk on a browser, the browser think I'm searching about cp2077 while not. it's annoying

simplest way to put it is all computers just use binary code. the OS is a giant calculator and compiler which interprets strings of 1 and 0 and uses the different strings to present a graphical interface so you can interact with it instead of just seeing white noise or 1 or 0. if you had no OS at all you wouldn't be able to do anything but a blank screen and white noise coming out the speakers like raw electricity. even the simplest computers back in the day needed some type of OS to make a graphical interface. the strings are bits, i guess it started at 2 bit computers as in one 1 or one 0.

>>315956
nowadays computers really have two os, the boot os and the main os that you actually use. i assume the oldest first computer of all time had no GUI, just a boot os and was probably like a morse code telegraph or something interpreting 2 bit 1 and 0 strings. just a live wire pretty much. a telegraph all it needed to boot was like an electrical capacitor and electricity. it was on when you plugged it in.

>>315957
i just looked at a diagram of a telegraph, it's essentially a live wire or a simple circuit, the bits come from the telegraph. 1 is open 0 is closed. so wire on and wire off. a computer is just a telegraph over and over at a tiny scale. all computing is just a bunch of circuits shooting pulses of electricity. computers now are just very fast telegraphs at tiny scale.

The third image is a real building?

>>315870
yes, it's called the arch in hong kong

this japanese (abandoned?) project suits very well cyberpunk: x-seed 4000

>>315949
There is no fucking way that would be built today. That's as tall as mount fuji.

>>315950
yeah I know.
>is never meant to be built…the purpose of the plan was to earn some recognition for the firm, and it worked
my bad, it was not abandoned but it was never meant to be build

but still, it is cyberpunk to me

Zoomers (all the other kids) became our out-group pretty early in life. Since then, I learn to split people into normals and non-normals. If you went to college and interacted with them there, you might be an npc. Likewise, if you used social media etc. you are not a friendo. Basic as fuck.

>>315938
Zoomers are a placeholder for young normalfags.

>>315933
Why?

>>315898
I suppose all of that is true. I guess sometimes it just feels like prison. But the other side of the fence doesn't look that great either.

>>315879
No, it's for building reflexes and motor skills, not muscles.

I think I might like massage stick more than foam roller.
Never thought I would find something I liked more than foam roller for dealing with DOMS.

Got one of those bowflex quick adjust dumbbells because it was on DEEP discount of 60% off and a massage gun that was 75% off.
The only bad thing is it was just one dumbbell, so now I have to hunt around for the walmart brand to make a even pair at similar price, since I ain't paying full retail for another bowflex one, even if the build quality is decent.
Still, I can make one dumbbell work for quality upper body workouts. It's the lower body where I need more weight and even distribution of a proper pair. But I got my old fashion dumbbells for those, or my kettlebell.

I know this sounds like cheating, but I recently got gastric bypass surgery and so far I've already dropped about 53lbs. Went from 430 when I started to 377 just a week or so ago. Feels amazing not feeling like total and utter shit.

>>315931
Had a neighbor that got that.
Lost like 200 pounds in the first year, then had a death in the family that they didn't cope well with and ended up gaining all the weight back, plus 100 pounds, and had gained a benzo addiction.

I guess my main point in telling this story is that you should get mental support to go along with physical support. That way your physical and mental health can reinforce your positive changes even when you face life challenges.

Regardless I wish you luck with it and hope you don't face too bad of complications.

anyway these wallpapers will look shit on your disgusting matte displays that you no doubt use

the only good monitor is the dell 8k which is glossy and 7 years old at this point. but it costs 4000 fucking euros

>>315855
My generic 22 inches HP monitor I bought for 100 bucks works fine. Now that I got a high end PC I think it might be time to upgrade but I don't see the point in going beyond 2K.

>>315857
what a coincidence? I also happen to have old HP monitor

>>315857
but I got it from my grandpa for free

I found a github for a linux Distribution called Exodia OS and downloaded their Wallpaper Repo and made this my default. Quite nice if I do say so myself. But thanks for the heads up anyway.

there should be no hierarchy in religion
power corrupts people
no one is immune to corruption

>I hate ZOOMERS
OMG! No way!

>>315822
Unemployable spiteful sociopaths use religion as a very effective way of extracting free money out of gullible, kind low IQ people.

Positioning themselves as a guru, pope, messiah or any kind of figure with god's personal iMessage number is a crucial part of the scam. Of course in reality they are no closer to god than a random homeless bum, but the average follower is easily fooles by grand speeches, fancy clothes and threats of eternal damnation and hellfire if they don't give all their money to the guru.

All these sects and groups are run by overgrown bully-children in adult bodies. All it takes is a police probe, and many of them will commit suicide within 24 hours because they'd rather die than exist without experiencing the easy life at the expense of everybody else.
