Genuinely, what's so wrong about normies? Like really, any of us could be one of them. Normie turned into a term, that describes a mainstream man, instead of a man that does anything a normal man would do (Such as studying, getting family, good job, etc). People argue over accusing each other of being a normie.

Yeah, it's an interesting thing. I do wonder what makes normies mentally ill in the first place. And why do some PDs tend to have more success than others.
Cluster B personality disorder have more success in the society compared to others. They usually manage to have families and even good careers while other PDs (especially Cluster A) tend to become outcasts.
My guess is that Cluster A disorders have the most genetic predisposition (basically, yoh are born with it). While the rest are more developmental. Cluster B in that case would be normies with normie genetic predisposition, but their childhood was fucked up. So, they retain some of their good qualities, while picking up pathological copes along the way.
In that vein, NPD is interesting and stands out amongst all the PDs since it's the only disorder that doesn't stem from a fucked up childhood. Notably, it's the only disorder that can be developed in a spoiled/golden child. Which makes it even more interesting. What makes a person with good genes and good childhood go crazy? We will bever know.

I do not accept the legitimacy of anything short of physical assault as bullying.
It should be socially acceptable for a person to say that they were never personally bullied nor ever witnessed any bullying.
Any social pressure to claim the status of bully victimhood would be indicative of a societal derangement.

Any wizzies playing on the stock market? There is currently a pretty big crisis because of Trump's tariffs. Might be a good time to get into the game when everyone is panic selling. I bought 100$ worth of s&p 500 etf today. I am prepared for it's value to get even lower so I am not going all in yet.

I have some in S&P 500 because I believe in the US business and economic supremacy continuing into the long term, it's always gone up and produced good returns in the long run even with plunges in between.

I also have some individual stocks too but those are risky, seen so many people online lose their money on them. I've been lucky so far but doesn't mean anyone else will. I kind of just enjoy it for the fun of predicting even though I think we humans are bad at future predicting and tend to fall for confirmation bias and other things. I don't put in more than I care to lose. I have basic economics/business knowledge so I often get ideas from substacks, twitter, even reddit (gb2reddit I know) as long as they seem well thought out with analysis that makes sense, I've found some good picks, occasionally bad ones but more good. I avoid the meme/hype stocks and anything that smells bad - unprofitable companies with "future unrealised potential", businesses that aren't really unique or special/no moat, don't have potential to expand, lots of debt, no plan or investor relations etc.

Recently I invested a small amount in a company in my country Australia called Beonic Ltd. Small tech company that deploys tech into public spaces to make them "smart" think like IoT, queue monitoring, "AI" insights etc. sounds memey and questionable but they have big contracts including big airports. Unprofitable for years and investor faith seems to be lost, quite a bit of debt. Risk is that they stay unprofitable and get delisted from the stock market or worse. They are claiming they will break even second half this year, and have made attempts to restructure and cut costs, focus on their profitable segments (mainly airports). Heard a rumor they could get bought out/acquired. Could be bullshit but if they break even and/or get acquired I think the price could triple or more. Or maybe it just joins the thousands of small stocks that get slaughtered/stay stagnant

Did the boring index fund thing for awhile, but noticed the small incremental gains were regularly decimated every few years by big overall market downturns and when these were taken into account I still wasn't beating inflation.
So I dumped my funds into a high interest account and physical gold just to hedge against inflation and instead worked on earning and saving more instead of investing at all.
Not ideal but at least I am not getting burned over and over again by retarded tech bros.

Looking through my hard drive and seeing files I save years back when I am at a very different spot and have different thoughts trigger a weird nostalgia in me. Nostalgia is probably not the right word. It's like a sadness adjacent feeling that you only get when you're suddenly aware of the passage of time. I just thought it's interesting how as someone with no societal interaction or life experiences computer files has taken the role of photos and memorabilia for me. I have comfy anime pictures, editing software I thought I'd use but was too lazy to learn, screencaps of imageboard posts I thought were deep then but is idiotic to me now. I don't know it's just a really weird feeling where you're sad but not really.

Sure, I 100% dropped image/message boards, didn't replace them with more time sinks, and instead put work into improving my living area. I was able to come back a couple months later and be responsible about it, but it's like anything that's a problem: cutting back on alcohol, porn, crack, etc might not be enough (gotta go cold turkey).

Every single one of Trumps wives are balkan immigrants and all of his kids only gained citizenship through birth despite their moms being immigrants.

I can't help but cringe at the people who obsess over these characters, they are drawn with apparent physical and emotional features of a real child and growing up with real life examples of this firsthand, it just overwhelms me with a sickening feeling. It's better than real pedos sure but it's not harmless. It especially tightens my core when they use the same terminologies as 'p enjoyers, at the end of the day you're still romanticising and sexualising the fact that the characters possess the same features of real children. Art imitates reality murmurmur.. If it keeps pedos out of schools then why not.

If I don't have a rural house with enough money to live off of without much responsibilities by the time I'm 35 I might just rope.
I miss being a NEET especially the freedom, low stress, 0 responsibility aspects.
Turned 29 in spring.
Hope I'll make it.
