If coffee worked for you then switch back to coffee. As long as you make coffee yourself from cheap grounds, it's actually really cheap.

I find it strange that energy drinks and iced coffee don't do much for me, however if I drink a hot coffee it rocks me. I wonder why this is the case.

Remember that caffeine in hyperdose quantities can have an immediate opposite effect on energy. Some sort of glitch in the matrix. You also need time to "recharge" the chemicals released when caffeine is taken, otherwise you're firing an empty barrel each time you take a sip. In the long run, the brain develops more fatigue receptors to compensate for what it believes are faulty ones which were really just choked by the caffeine. Consider quitting cold turkey and supplementing with electrolytes (Just a Powerade) to hold back any headache or stiffness resulting from the abrupt cessation.

>What do I do now to get some energy?
Mix your own energy drink. Bodybuilding solutions for energy involve preworkout mixes loaded with natural chemicals that instigate a release of energy in the body from fat reserves while refreshing that energy after digestion. "Warming compounds" in particular are known to heat the body up with how much reserved energy begins to burn. Combine these with exercise in any capacity and you'll get a blast of energy. If you're buying takeout coffee, brewing a "pod" coffee, or opening an energy drink every day, then mixing your own high-potent preworkout will be cheaper. The natural ingredients mean poor shelf life for a mixed drink so this route has that disadvantage to canned energy drinks, which really should last someone serveral days considering they're loaded with %1000 redundant amounts of vitamins.

That, or abuse antihistamines and experimental nootropics.

>inb4 called a broscience pill salesman by that single wimp who says that to every post mentioning exercise

i don't believe coffee actually works. i drank a cup from time to time because i like how it tastes and smells.

ultimately you have 24 hours per day and you can walk as far as your legs can carry you. while the day progresses and you make decisions, your overall potential for walking is affected positively or negatively, which is your health.

just get healthy and you have lots of energy. regularly drain your energy with physical activity, eat healthy stuff, rest not too much and not too little, stay away from toxic people and their scams, don't drink alcohol

8 hours sleep
sunlight
exercise
maintain schedule
no caffeine needed anymore

mfs dying for some pussy

i always have been holding back the urge to go to the bathroom but recently started to dream that i was pooping, luckily those two times that it happened i woke up after i started pushing so i didn't shit myself

I had a dream where I was in GTA V and worked with 3 gangsters to break into my dad's house, he was horrified and the 3 gangsters bashed him to death. I felt so much regret and just stood there in the corner, watching it all unfold.

dreams when you wake up inside your dream really are special. They feel more real somehow.

It's not all bad

Honestly, I have an extremely unpopular opinion. I wish I was circumcised at birth. My cock has caused me too many fucking problems. I used to masturbate in prone position and as a result of that I have frenulum breve. And I have no money to get the surgery for this. This is ruining my fantasy life.

I will try streching from today but I don't know of what help that would be. The other thing is that since I am used to feeling sensation now if I get circumcised as an adult than I'll never be able to cum. As a baby I should have gotten my dick jewed.

>I am the ultimate and final retard.
>So I happened to masturbate
that's your problem

with age everything gets looser and worn out and more bendy, doesn't it?

when the dick is soft it can bend in any direction and when it gets hard it gets hard in the direction it is currently facing.

you mean to tell me you had such monodicrectional erections that your dick got stuck in one curved direction the same way pixels burned themselves into the early version of flat screens?

just gently point it somewhat towards the other direction as it gets hard and it should over time get used to have more of a range.

>>305716
I also have similar problem. But with age I started to not give a fuck, now that I am 30.
We should have a PSA for wizkids: "don't mess up your dick by fapping the wrong way."

and who opened the gates? you have only yourself to blame for your dying star of what was a society that could never hope to sustain itself without cheap labor

>>308461
>and who opened the gates?

Jews, mostly. 1965 hart celler act. They want to make whatever country they're living in as multicultural/racial as possible so as to avoid attention as a market dominant minority - just another group in a big melting pot society, not a highly ethnocentric, high IQ parasitic ethnicity that is spiteful towards white gentiles. Wonder why they got kicked out of a million countries?

But yes, WASPs let them into the country clubs and to some extent allied with them against flyover, backbone of America type whites, so you have a point there as well. But it is Jews.

>wake you from sleep, and be in a state of semisleep, and to remain mentally awake as your body returns to sleep
can confirm this works, but i stumbled upon it accidentaly after a whole day of ingesting multiple alcoholic beverages.
only through your post i realise what actually happened that day and why i havent had a lucid dream since then, thank you.

✔️ nightmares
✔️ every

✔️ day

It's only become more and more difficult for me to remember my dreams after I wake up, and I wish I knew why.

It's hard to write them down because I'm stressed about wasting time, tired, and wanting to go to the toilet.
Most of my dreams are shit or even negative, so I'll banish them from my mind and not write them down.

Apparently, your sleep becomes less restful if you start lucid dreaming all the time.
I wonder if there's a way to unlearn lucid dreaming if that is the case.

PS Most of the lucid dreams I can remember have felt soulless and somewhat unnerving.
You realize none of it is real, and you're stuck in some weird matrix with fake soulless people who behave really strange and unnatural. It feels lonely.

This is my first time ever posting here but I actually discovered a reliable method that gives you very vivid dreams if not lucid ones. However with enough practice I've been able to basically dream while only half asleep and even visualise my thoughts like they were real with my eyes closed. Anyway
Wulfgar's kino dream method:
You have to be almost ready to fall asleep, close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, look upwards while cross eyed (keep your eyelids closed) til you feel pressure in your forehead, then hold your eyes like that until you feel the pressure move backwards through your brain all the way down to your brain stem. Once its there you can let your eyes go back to normal but keep them closed. I start seeing like pulsing cymatic patterns or it looks like waves on a lake but top down. Then you just think of something and you'll start seeing it inside your eyelids. When i did this it actually became colored instead of green/grey/black.


Have fun

How much time do you have left?
I would go get the shittiest manual labor job or take a random job from anyone that will hire you. Promise your parents that you only need to live in their dwelling to sleep, and come to an arrangement to pay them part of your earning. Basically become an indentured servant-slave to your parents and try to use the time to figure out a proper escape plan.

If they really despise you right now, just be an extra-goodboy for the foreseeable future and try to be outside of the house for as many hours as possible a day, and then when you see them bring them money and ask if you can sleep there for the night. Then wake up early and leave… as long as you keep bringing proof of labor (bring food/money) then maybe they'll lighten up on you.

If you work 8-10h a day, use the time to think about what you want to do, and then find a place to hang out to think/prepare for your next move/skill-max and then use the remaining hours to strategically ingratiate yourself with your parents/family again.

I think it is. I have never heard of it before. Would it be beneficial to use an American VPN while signing up? Or will I get caught?
As for fake degrees, do you mind elaborating a bit more? Would just a mere citation and print out from the internet suffice?
And by the way, thank you, I really do appreciate your advise.
>>308278
Because I am an academic failure and other myriad of reasons, I made a post about it earlier, something to do with C-PTSD, I can't find it now, must've been buried.
>>308279
I'll see what I can do. But I think I probably have 3-4 days.

>>308280
>Would it be beneficial to use an American VPN while signing up?
No, actually. Statistically White English-speaking males are the most likely to get rejected for online pennywork and surveys because we're a minority of the global consumer purchasing power and also because we'd be less likely to use either as full-time employment.

Succubi make up more than 85% of the consumer market for everything, so their opinions are valued more by any company that aims to earn money directly from consumers. You need to put aside your pride here and just pretend to be a female, or list yourself as a male who believes himself to be a female. Your nationality will be beneficial in this case because Indian sales firms are the main utilizers of MT to determine what sells best in India.

Are there any Islamist militant groups you can join?

The Failiban

I use Bromite, a Chromium fork focused on privacy and performance. Free as in beer and freedom. In my opinion, hands down the best web browser performance-wise for android. It also does, always did the background youtube playing (even with the screen off), plus bandcamp and spotify. It is so fast that it allows me to keep using my Nexus 7 2013. It also comes with a builtin adblocker, I think some versions even have or will have experimental addon support.

I also use Shelter for app privacy sandboxing, downside is it can only clone one app, it relies on Androids built in work-profile feature, so it is pretty solid and has almost no performance hit.

K-9 for email, it's simple and reliable. Aurora Store for downloading apps without GoogleServices and PlayStore (haven't used it in a while tho, but it should still work, hopefully)

I suppose if you're into android and free software you've been aware of Xposed and later Magisk, they're not the same class but both are very powerful and Xposed has been kind of revived through some Magisk modules. I miss Appsettings, it allowed you to, as the name says, customize the way an app ran, bypass screenshot restrictions and othet stuff, I used it for custom dpi settings. It's worth the hassle.

>>302166
Wasn't aware of this, I'll give it a try and hope it works despite google s antiadblock threats.

>>305951
Haven't experienced your problem just want to say TotalCommander is awesome, it's been my only filemanager for android since 2015.

>>306759
Bromite is GOAT.

I like Fairemail and use Blokada 5 for a system-wide adblocker. The developer of Fairemail also has a similar app, Netguard, which I thought worked well until it didn't and I sent back to Blokada. I think it's been updated and should probably try it again.

Great thread OP! I already use a couple of these apps myself, my favorite being antennapod, which is my go-to for late night listening.
Thank you for the newpipe recommendation, I am amazed at just how good it works right out of the box.
For a good while I had removed all google services on my phone and installed a custom OS in an attempt to increase my privacy. I enjoyed it for a while, but my big problem was the open source maps app you recommended, osmand. It seemed to work fine in cities and busy areas, but, like… I lived in a rural area and I knew for a fact Walmart was down the road from me, but when I put in Walmart, it would INSIST on the Walmart headquarters in another state. Osmand always kinda pissed me off, and I need maps because I move a lot, so that served as an impetus to switch back to using Google services.

Some of my recommendations for good open (mostly) apps:

ChromaDoze for white/brown noise generation. It's simple and looks neat. No ads whatsoever.

Pulsar for music. You can make playlists. I torrent all of my music or download from YT, and what's neat is Pulsar searches the internet for good pictures of the artists if a picture isn't already included in your torrent file.

Noteworthy for tuning instruments (I use it for guitar).

Joplin (in conjunction with Dropbox) is a great note taking app that allows you to share notes between devices. It's easy enough to set up, and it has a robust library of features that allow you to take really nice notes.

Xodo is an app I use for PDF manipulation. PDFs are notorious for just being an absolute ass to deal with, and Xodo makes it tolerable. Idk if Xodo is FOSS, but it's a great app nonetheless.

KeepPassX is what I use for storing passwords. This is a powerful app and should only be used if you trust YOURSELF and ONLY YOURSELF to keep up with your passwords. If you forget your master key your fucked. But, it's worth it if you don't want your passwords in the hands of a private company.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to share. Thanks again OP, this thread is quality and I enjoy seeing things like this on the board. RIP arisuchan.

I've look and the most comfy and useful apps are paid.
Aside from phone, messages, alarm clock and camera, I use:
>moon reader
>smart audiobook player
>poweramp
That said, I only actually bought the latter one.

Right now I'm looking for a "journal" app that lets you make a single entry with both text and a voice recording.

Great thread ✔️
Thanks OP

If you're upset that people are expressing distaste on an imageboard, then use the same privileges that they have to your advantage and try to make a case for why you find any of this to be tasteful. Sagerage telling someone to shut up is less of a contribution than any harsh-worded critique.

I was being cute, the book is all about the pictures, without the pictures there is no book, the author's degree in graphic design has to be put to make a marketable product.
>provide a juxtaposition between very large, complex ideas and boiling them down to a simplified shape/image/pattern.
Yes, a mnemonic device, I did say that.

Vaguely reminds me of that Codex something book.

wouldn't you feel strange not being the one to come up with your name?

i made a thermopile of steel/constantan (type-j thermocouples) that generates almost 2 microvolts per square inch, with one end in warm water, the other in the air above. i read a forbes article saying if you covered the human body in thermoelectric generators, you would get like 0.5 watts. surface area of human is like 3000 sq inches, and assuming the human was like the hot water i measured, i would get like 5 watts. of course human is cooler than some warm water, but even so there shouldnt be a 10x difference. and of course if you used high seebeck thermoelectrical materials like legitimate thermoelectric generators do, it should be much more powerful than my thing

i think that 0.5 watts figure is incorrect
