wtf learning things is actually hard, All this time I thought that I am either a hidden genius that just need to be awakened and can easily breeze through everything or a subhuman failure who cannot achieve anything no matter how hard I tried but it turns out that I am just an average person that can progress at a slow but steady rate as long as I am consistent. This shit is boring as fuck dude. I want to be instantly good. How can skilled normies do this all day instead of gooning or playing games? Not even trying to be sarcastic. It's an actual realization I got when I tried to learn new things so long after years of depressed zombiebrowsing.

I had the same problem as you, but then I realized that I have shit for brain, shitty genetics, and shitty upbringing. It never really began for me. So, I just accept my defective nature and course through life for pleasure and entertainment.

This might as well be the end. Jannies are abandoning ship and even if they open back again they won't be able to replace them because nobody will risk a doxx. Nobody will moderate the site, their source code got leaked almost entirely there's no way they will be back up again. This is the end of an era. Share your feelings regarding the site here, let this thread be a farewell to 4chan.

For the longest Time i had none other than my Parents to share my problems with and they Would Always say stuff like:
"Everything Will be alright, just be positive"
And for The longest Time i believed that was bull shit, to think our thoughts could influence reality and our outcomes in life, and lately After another conversationv with my father where he said the usual stuff of "everything Will be alright for you as Long You remain positive and optimistic"
I thought to my self why don't i become positive and optimistic just in order to relieve my present anxities? even if maybe it's all dogshit and the universe is indifferent about your thoughts and such, but of course when you are a life Time pessimist, it's not easy to change your mindset, even if it's just wanting to delude my Self.

I can certainly relate. as a wiz who is pessimistic both by temperament and philosophy, its not rational to dwell in mental pain that is objectively right. so i've tried to focus on positive psychology, and appreciating the good aspects of my life.

it is good to LARP in the most hellish possible life for once a year, going homeless or going to bootcamp so you can appreciate neeting the rest of the year

positivity that's something you chose. it's choice. your genes don't limit how often you are positive, your habit does, which you can override with something else and if you can hold it long enough, it will replace the old.

i would start like this: be in optimism for 1 minute every day until it becomes easy, then increase to 5 minutes.

what might help you is building systems that remember your worries for you and allow you to have worries and make decisions based on them without having to have them running in the head.

So wizzies who are familiar with this stuff, is it worth the time and effort? From what I've read most of the darknet or darkweb or wtf is just dead sites, with occasional illegal things here and there. As someone who is just curious and want to pass the time, is it worth the risk of checking out? How do you even find stuff there? WHAT IS EVEN THERE? What are your experiences with it?

maybe 2026 will be the year where you finally begin to question google and look for alternatives.

google used to be great to find information you were looking for when it first began but now google is great in not showing you what you were looking for and instead show you whoever paid them most in this insane militarily protected digital conveyor belt of consumerism.

whatever you are looking for is of secondary concern to google, they are more interested in showing you what the customers paid for you to see, you have to get that in your head. there has been an auction for your attention and you are not getting served search results that best answer your query. you get search results that best represent the wishes of the customers. stop being an idiot.

At my high school attending clubs was mandatory, so I was part of one, but I think if we were given the option of going home early instead of joining a club, I would've just chosen to go home early.
The clubs were run by teachers so we never really had interesting stuff like an anime club (except in my first year when we had a movie club, that was pretty fun) or anything like that, it was usually things like a homework club or sports. They were all fine though, basically just regular classes except the teachers were a little more lax about talking in class and whatnot.

Orangutanism is the religion of the future. It is our only hope for the future. Without it, we will not evolve beyond the gregarious phase of social organisation. All present religions are nothing more than holding patterns. Attempts to control which thwart progressive evolution. Orangutanism is our true destiny. Chimpism is, evolutionarily speaking, infantile.

Boring moral values, you deserve your good boy points for sharing the same values as the herd. See, this guy right here is what's wrong with the white race nowadays. Full of moralfags, whether they are christians or secular humanists it doesn't matter that much, all the same to me. The white race isn't on the losing side because of immorality or corruption, no, it's just that whites decided to embrace the most boring and cucked moral values for some reason at some point in history.

But killing Pederast is fun!
Although I don't know if pedophiles can be rehabilitated, do you like lolis? We never had a problem with that in the West here until they started getting moralistic about cartoons.
>See, this guy right here is what's wrong with the white race nowadays
Are you part of the white race? Great! Because I've never met anyone from the white race in my life. Are your parents siblings or cousins? Do you have any genetic diseases due to the purity of the breed or something like that? I heard that certain European genes increase the likelihood of baldness and even certain cancers. Which ones do you have?
I know one guy of the dark race, he keeps saying “N'wah” to me and i dont know what is that.
>decided to embrace the most boring and cucked moral values for some reason at some point in history.
Well, yes.
Radical secular humanism or a benevolent king or a benevolent dictator sounds more edgy to me. Although the government doesn't give a damn about us, and anarchy sustained by a sense of community sounds more fun, it is only sustained by traditions, and I the humans are already too dependent on the unstoppable technology to actually go back in time to old traditions or old ways of life without too much tech-cultural changes to keep survivality of that model of life.
Anyway, a big tech IA God is being created perpetually at this moment. So your moralistic or idealistic or essentialist ideals will be useless because the sum-zero will never be achieved.

Beowulf is the Old English text most cited regarding aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry/paganism. However, Beowulf itself is actually a distinctly Christian epic poem. This is most plainly visible in the deployment of Christian morality in the story, categorizing Beowulf himself as "good" and the antagonist Grendel as "evil." But this good-evil dichotomy is actually generally alien to Aryan forms of paganism.

This being the case, it is possible to apply Nietzsche to Beowulf in order to deconstruct the text and uncover lost aspects of Anglo-Saxon heathenry. Specifically, Nietzsche's distinction between good and evil and good and bad as expounded upon in the Genealogy of Morals:

>This, then, is quite the contrary of what the noble man does, who conceives the basic concept “good” in advance and spontaneously out of himself and only then creates for himself an idea of “bad”! This “bad” of noble origin and that “evil” out of the cauldron of unsatisfied hatred — the former an after-production, a side issue, a contrasting shade, the latter on the contrary the original thing, the beginning, the distinctive deed in the conception of a slave morality — how different these words “bad” and “evil” are, although they are both apparently the opposite of the same concept “good.” But it is not the same concept “good”: one should ask rather precisely who is “evil” in the sense of the morality of ressentiment. The answer, in all strictness, is: precisely the “good man” of the other morality, precisely the noble, powerful man, the ruler, but dyed in another color, interpreted in another fashion, seen in another way by the venomous eye of ressentiment.

With this in mind, it can be understood that the characterization of Grendel as "evil" is actually Christian smearing of what is good. Consider two descriptions of Grendel from Beowulf itself:

>… the other, miscreated thing, in man's form trod the ways of exile, albeit he was greater than any other human thing. Him in days of old the dwellers on earth named Grendel

>Every nail, claw-scale and spur, every spike and welt on the hand of that heathen brute was like barbed steel. Everybody said there was no honed iron hard enough: to pierce him through, no time proofed blade that could cut his brutal blood caked claw

This is, in fact, almost identical to the way Oyashiro-sama is mischaraPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
