Can Internet be fixed? Can a bit of its old charm be taken back? Or is already done for?

Even imageboards seem to be in decay

how can i cope being a closet homosexual while remaining loyal to the lord ?

What are your opinions on this, wizzies? All my life I avoided completely any chance of doing so even as revenge and always thought that crime in any way must be avoided. But I started shoplifting like 7 years ago, at first as a curiosity about imported products that I wanted to try (candies and chocolates) but then I went far away stealing a lot of things, mostly hygiene products, tools, food and other utilities. Haven't paid for hand sanitizer, shampoo, pencils, etc since that time.

So far I've never been caught since I paid a lot of attention to security stuff and in fact I've learned a lot in this regard.

My philosophy is to steal only from big stores/multinationals or from state buildings (because the state is the biggest thief).

As a social reject I don't care anymore about the system so if my actions affect anything anymore. Also I hate my country so even the less I care. In a way I recognize this being some sort of cope or unload of rage

Just post videos you think are wizardly, no particular theme or genre outside of that. Don't post things that will be too shitposty, but they can be funny

why are portraits so relaxing/comfy? I dont even mean attractice people,but in general, I feel a portrait is an open book for the person's soul, like a "read me" brochure to get to know someone even if he is ded or lives a thousand km away.
Once I lose a couple of kilos I want to have my portrait taken with an old camera by a photographer.
I want there-to-be some kind of material legacy(a printed photo)of who I was,and that I existed upon this earth.

"The natural unrestricted state of the human female sexuality is a Fisherian runaway that leads to the regress of the species and eventually extinction. (already happening to caucasoids)
Societal progress is impossible without suppressing the human female sexuality (as proven by history), and if it's left unsuppressed, societal regress is certain and inevitable. (we're witnessing it firsthand)." -Anon

How true is this? Thoughts and opinions?

Does anyone else here drink a lot of soda? I usually have anywhere from 4-6 cans a day, diet mostly because I don't want to be a landwhale. It's probably one of the only things that still brings me joy and I love trying new ones out. I like the space coke that came out a few weeks ago a lot and have been walking down to the carry-out a couple times a week to get one, I'll be pretty sad if it doesn't become a permanent flavor. Dr Pepper had a Zero Sugar Cream Soda flavor recently that I liked as well, but I haven't seen it in a while.

Pic related is one of my favorites, but I have never seen it outside of this one White Castle fountain in central Ohio. Do you guys have any favorites? Any discontinued Sodas you miss? I remember there was a christmas pepsi variant I loved as a kid that my sisters found gross.

Why is this place so much more chill than 4chan? Like this place has a much more relaxed tone to it and a less angry vibe to it. Why is that?

Wanted to post on 4chan but 2000 characters limit.
Hello.
It's not a secret for anyone that in the absence of the possibility of a full-scale war, when people have become absolutely unnecessary to the elite, any elite pursues only one goal - building an ideal future through the evolution of man into the "final form" and the separation of all "impure". The Jews were the first to single out this ideology in the Kabbalah (Tzimtzum and Qliphoth), but now representatives of absolutely all races are involved in this. Whether they are fully aware of what they are doing and what this final form will be, one can argue about this, but the methods are obvious: informational aggression, a huge number of tricks and substitutions of concepts. Here are some examples of what I have noticed.

0. Advertising. The scourge of everything. The greatest attention stealer in the history of all mankind, the embodiment of devouring chaos, penetrates into all cracks and communities. No one is immune from the fact that his thoughts at the current moment may be influenced to advertising.

1. War.
Proxy wars, never involving major cities, are waged solely for this purpose. In a war, only ordinary people and residents die who could not be saved, that is, the weak. Also, talking about it distracts the population from the problems associated with their lives, and makes them submissive.

2. Exchange.
Who trades on the stock exchange wins or loses only thanks to the intellect. The virtuality or reality of the traded goods does not matter.

3. Non-traditional values.
Operated transgenders, childfrees and other perverts often don't breed, making way for the elite. Conversations and provocations on this topic can cost someone a job (cancel culture).

4. Substitution of concepts. For example, the left is often called liberal, although liberalism is the ideology of killing the weak, contrary to equality, and conservatives and opponents of liberalism are right, that is, they support inequality. Even though it doesn't make sense, but according to the principle of the "big lie" people believe in it, waste their time and cut social ties.

5. Admiration. The man is looking at the net. Here is someone who did a nice trick. Sang a song. Cleverly made fun of a moment from everyday life or another person. Parasocial connections work the same way.

Can an average joe who honestly has a lot of dedication(ie;autism)and a high IQ, invest succesfully?
I dont mean like in movies where a guy trades a couple ov stocks and he's rich,but patient and efficient investing troughout a couple of decades. Should I give up on this and just spend money on fun things like vidya? or not?
