General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?

Let's have a "official" NEET/Hikikomori thread on /lounge/.

I suspect that many wiz are high on neuroticism and low on extraversion

Do you think it is okay to hurt animals? This means for food, sport, pleasure, or otherwise?

I look at the ways society treats animals, and I'm appalled. Mammals with complex social systems are kept in horrific conditions to produce meat, milk, and other animal products. Chicks are put into a blender live for the terrible crime of being the wrong gender.

It is rather appalling that people seem to so easily accept carnism despite the suffering that is behind the production of meat. Sure, animals make each other suffer and they also eat each other. However, unlike them, we have the choice to do differently. Yet so many don't. Eating meat is so, so horrifically cruel.

I am a failed normie. Probably. Either way. Do you remember Chrono Trigger? Good game in my book. I had a humiliating school experience as a kid. For 5 years I was trying to work as a teacher and became a subject of bullying from elementary wealthy well-off suckers. Just like in the good ole times. The eternal reacurrance of Nietzsche makes much more sense now. Anyway. I am 36 yo old and I am an old boy still. Deep down I feel I did not sell my soul to the tribes of modernity. I am glad I failed at being a normie. Thank you for wizard chan. There are worse things then being what normies called "loser". So if you are a crab, a wizard or whatever, don't hate yourself please for not fitting in the modern society. It sucks. Deep down even normies know that. They are just too well off to admit it and walk away. And they are too stuck in their own ego to say to us, the losers: Sorry. Thank you. Please. Deep down they know that they deserve what is coming to them. What is coming to all flesh.

Do you think there's any truth to this shit?
The part about gradually tensing and releasing muscles reminds me of techniques used in hypnosis, and I've also read about it being used by practitioners of "OBEs".
As well, the breathing pattern reminds me of that "wim hof" thing or whatever it's called. Where you breathe in a specific way and become a nordic ninja werewolf or something like that.

some people spend their life wishing to be popular but they never know what it is like. they wish for it so bad, but not bad enough to turn into the person everyone likes.

to me it was always effortless and it felt like a burden. once you embody the thing everybody wants, you can't really go anywhere anymore and be left alone because all day people audition for your attention and approval. is just you go somewhere, and everyone gets an electric shock that compells them to come up with just any stupid excuse to force an interaction with you. makes you understand how enslaved the psychology of most people is. most people believe other people will be the solution to their problematic life, which of course is idiocy.

ugly succubi want to entangle you with conflict all day. they seek every opportunity to have some kind of fight with you to the point that you can not go to a place anymore and expect to be treated like a human because the succubi there will treat you like shit, believing this will break the ice. i guess there are men this works on because otherwise they would not do this on such a scale.

i was very popular in school and always had many friends but for the last 10 years i haven't really had friends and i don't miss it. i don't believe i am missing out. social life is just another war and there are no winners in war. i know a lot of you are not wizards by choice but i genuinely believe it is better to wiz then having a social life because i have had a social life. if only the internet wasn't so fucked up and centralized.

i dunno how to explain it better. go in my head, look around and come back out. you'll hate how it is like and realize that being a wizard is better i am sure.

see my bookstore post…
i put up with shit every day from no nothings and shitwits..,
it never ends…
post your greatest encounter with stupidity and how it affected you… thnx

i am currently building a pc table from steel rod and "wooden boards" (made from sawdust and resin). i was at the ikea and was looking at the tables they sold and i just wanted to show you this one i thought was pretty cool. if i did not build my own, this would be a fine choice i believe, just too big for my little place. i was looking for one that has the dimensions 100cm * 100cm (so i can fit it in the place i actually have perfectly without wasting space) and you don't find these anywhere i have learned. most desks sold are something like 120cm*80cm.

the reason i believe this one from the ikea is cool is because it has so much space to store computer related stuff. it has two little things on the side where speakers can go, it has space on the bottom where the pc can stand, that way it is off the ground and it is easier to keep the floor clean with broom, vacuum and mop (which is more important for airquality then an aircleaner i have learned. all the floors when kept very clean electrically draw dust and particles to it). also it has the second level where the monitor can stand on and that way you can slide the keyboard underneath it if you need the desk for something else.

if i had the space, i would have chosen this one and it would have been a way better experience because building mine already has me like 14 work hours in (because i was stupid and could not find the parts and drove 8 hours one day to several construction stores just to find the stupid parts i was looking for because every store i was at was almost out of parts.) mine will be mostly finished tomorrow and it will have taken around a week with cost of ~230€. if i had just bought the ikea desk, i would have paid more money but i could have solved the desk issue in a single day: 2 hours driving, 1-2 hours getting the thing inside ikea, 2 hours building it at home and then maybe one more hour setting up the pc on it.

i guess they call it a gaming desk for marketing purpose but i think it is a good male desk in general. i sat at it in the store and tried to shake it, it is sturdy enough.

I made this thread for posting various kinds of pictures. Feel free to post some too.
