Recently I feel like the large corporations that run everything have really been dropping the ball. The end user experience for shopping at walmart of Amazon or wherever used to be almost flawless and you could understand how they got to be practical oligopolies. Today though? The experience is so amazingly shit. You can tell none of these corporations gives a shit about the day to day. They have some apps managing everything and they just punish the slaves when some app tells them to. It is such a lazy form of decay.


Anyone else noticing this? Almost across the board in every realm of life it seems like the system is more full of bugs and random failures. Everything works just barely well enough to still keep functioning but at the same time it's decaying and degrading. I think there's not enough actual competition anymore in society. All the power structures are set and all the lowest worms in society have wriggled their way to the top of them.

I think the worst is the food. Buy a brown bread without checking the label and you get this greasy 7 percent seed oils loaf, which gives me acid reflux. Some supermarkets where I live don't even sell real bread anymore. The very basics of life become inaccessible with this race to the bottom

I've been on my PC every waking moment I could do so for the past 24 years or so.
For me, a recent thing is trying to embrace phones and a tablet I got for further consumption and comfort.
Never was addicted to a phone since I was at a PC all day, why bother right?

I don't mind it too much, I'm on it to numb myself. I often just stare at the screen as of late, not even scrolling any manga, let alone doing the gargantuan effort of playing games.

The only issue I have is with digital hoarding. I know the internet as I knwo it is coming to an end so I should really start hoarding.
Having so much unsorted JUNK I saved over the years is causing me mad anxiety too.
I need order, but pic rel is unsortable… can't let it go either.

I got about 6TB of SSD space open for once I start scraping the 35k bookmarks I hoarded over the years as well.
Mostly manga, doujins, r34 pics, audio/voiceworks crap like that that isn't really worth it, but would give me peace of mind to have my own offline library. Wish I wasn't so retarded about it and knew what to do.
Was looking into lanraragi and hydrus but they aren't exactly plug and play and idk what would happen to those hoards if I had to move drives to another PC that might not be windows in the future.

TL:DR; digital hoarding gives me mad anxiety
I considered purging most if not all I have currently downloaded and questioning how much I should even hoard considering I might not even be able or desire to jerk off much now that I'm 30.

What would I even do with my time without it? I can't imagine it. I have a tiny 2x5m room. I tried hobbies like mini painting, carving, drawing etc. but failed at acting on them in the long run.
I'd just put the stuff in front of me and stare at it like it's a screen. Fucking hell…

Have you ever thought of living in a car? I think it is very wizardly as you can live alone and travel wherever you want. You don't have to pay rent only car utilities and insurance. Of course you don't have a bathroom you will have to rely on gyms to wash yourself but still it sounds comfy. You also need to tackle the weather and other people but it is possible to do stealth camping.

This is not necessarily true. Only if you are planning on doing the stealth urban camping thing do you need to rely on public toilets. If you are in the woods you can either just shit right in the woods or bring a little bucket toilet with a liner and shit in that then you just throw your shit in the garbage like it is dog shit. I got a privacy tent that pops up plus a little collapsible toilet.

I also got a bucket shower. They are just a pump on the end of a hose with a shower head attached to it. Quite cheap. You heat up some water put it in a bucket then put the pump in there and it works like a shower. Can also be used with the privacy tent I have. Might not be fully legal because they want everyone to collect all their grey water, but if you're not using soap you're not actually hurting anything. When you do need to actually use soap to wash your hair or something you can actually collect the water into a basin.

I got 4 5 gallon water jugs. One of them I am planning to use for grey water, the rest for fresh water. I figure I should be able to go 1-2 weeks and get one shower out of that. 1 shower per week is about right when living in a car.

I'm not trying to put down wizards that are FORCED into this situation.
This entire van-life or living out of your car meme spread across the internet in recent years and it is for privileged normies that havent had to face a real challenge in their life.
Basically well off retards dream of this so they can have their own struggle.
That or autists that like to think of how to utilize small spaces.

Even then I'd much rather live in a tiny apartment. My back just hurts thinking of having to live like this.
Are you young and healthy? Well not for long if you do this and if you aren't you are just setting yourself up for suffering.

There is this guy dbdr/hatflying on youtube that talks about his experiences.
Just listening to it second hand sounds miserable.

There are going to be face scans and ID checks at every Internet checkpoint. VPNs are denied service.

All of your online activities will be monitored and tied to your face and soon this will include your offline activities with your PC and digital devices.

Everything will eventually be integrated into a single over-socialized AI driven automated system of citizen micromanagement.

You will police your own thoughts and tell on yourself in a kafkaesque court to both contest and find out the offense that brought you there.

I've been listening to Baby's First Game theory lectures which gives quite a neat answer.

The main strategy of the aristocracy is to consolidate power, by cheating the system, through collusion, that's difficult to detect, and enforcing discipline within their own ranks.

And I mean *specifically* the aristocracy, people with intergenerational wealth and institutional power who can make decisions that nobody else without the use of violence can overturn. Not the interchangeable faces used to keep the police cars on the road and the Colombians in the fields. Anyone in this position knows that resorting to violence invites instability, which is the only thing that is a proven credible threat to their positions.

Maintaining the criminality of $x in an extreme form, a transgressor from the in-group can be publicly punished and their agency removed - without any particular suspicion.

So say party A fucks up in a money laundering operation as part of said aristocracy and as a result, party B loses enough money to notice it. What course of redress do they have?

The courts? That runs the risk of some clerk gunning for promotion finding the link between A and B

Assassination? Immediately all sorts of attention is turned on the activities of the victim, same problem.

PR/MSM blasting? That may have worked once but not so much any more.

As such it's in the aristocracy's interest to maintain a form of punishment that is humiliating, life destroying, and completely erodes credibility. One that the majority of people without capital or connections finds distasteful so it's self reinforcing is ideal.

Hence.

Recently, a bunch of CCP bugs have been flooding my country and subverting everything. Literally every house in the Canadian real estate market is owned by these bug people and they straw buy these houses as a front for their fentanyl drug money laundering so that Canadians can't buy homes. Not only that but more of them are lobbying our governments and taking jobs from Canadians. We're literally having a chinkpocalypse right now.

It depends, like half intermarry with white people and assimilate over the course of 30-60 years. The other half literally live self-segregated lives, insist that their social circles and families remain pure Chinese, have a belief in the one drop rule for racial purity, and will be loyal to mainland China over their host society.

A half Chinese guy I know who gets confused for Chinese tells me that they are constantly talking shit about white people.

When I was a NEET for almost a decade I didn't do anything, just like you, some games, youtube, scrolling manga/manhwa/hua mindlessly.
Once every few weeks I'd get the spark of motivation to try stuff, had some fun, but often whatever I started ended up gathering dust.
Now I have worked for 3-4 years (I'm 30) and when I'm off the clock it feels like I travel through time to the next shift.
When I have a week vacation or something it passes by in the blink of an eye.
I no longer game because it takes too much effort, learning new stuff is too much of a barrier for me. I got pathfinder 2 and stuff sitting there downloaded, but too much effort.

I just scroll manga now. Even anime is too much focus for me. Scroll and daydream. Kinda feeling like a kid in highschool again. I'd always daydream the hours away.
I had things I thought I wanted to do, but clearly since I'm not doing those things I didn't really want them to begin with maybe.

I feel you on the NPC thing OP. It feels like some fundamental humanity, the divine spark is missing. I can rotate the apple in my head and have inner monologues if we are talking meme shit like that, but in reality I do nothing.
I pursue nothing. I am nothing.

A doctor, randomly unpromted went on a long advice/rant to me about needing long term goals and how to pursue them.
I guess he simply diagnosed me with shit-life-syndrome and decided to throw me a bone.

The problem is I have zero goals or real desires that would serve as a purpose. Without a purpose there is no reason to strive, you can just focus on mitigating pain and suffering while maximizing pleasure.
Basically working a dead end low responsibility job, surviving, getting home jerking off until my foreskin tears or scrolling until my fingers develop RSI or tendonitis is all that is left.
Hell putting effort into your own health becomes something you subconsciously classify as an unworthy pursuit if you really have nothing to go on for.
Unfortunately the next sadpanda upload isn't enough of a reason to keep living.

There are two definitions to the word "crab".

Definitions:
+ Someone who (involuntarily) cannot have sexual intercourse, an involuntary celibate (literal meaning)
+ Someone who defines it (the term), uses it and applies it to social commentary, explaining how things are/work using the term (all crab communities in practice)

The first is an in-group definition of the term that many including myself don't believe actually has any real meaning (not important here). The latter (out-group) definition describes/defines the behaviour of "crabs" relative to the ignorant masses (blue-pilled normies). The term is used to construct a world story, sort of like a religion, that gives meaning to the male in the universe.

Rodgerist (aggressive sexual envy) and Marxist (entitlement and class/identity) attitudes are very common in crab communities and "crabdom is a state and not an identity" is the defining male crab argument. On the opposing side, femcel/radfem misandrists are preoccupied with proving that all men are "crabs" in the feminist circles.

There are many manosphere "pills" and communities but this shared concept separates the "crabs" from the other "copers" in denial of the "Truth".

This group has:
+ A shared sacred concept
+ A blackpill worldview of nihilistic determinism
+ Marxist and Rodgerist attitudes
+ A world story
+ An in-group language/memes

Is "crabism" a religion?

I played that Charlie UK game from Prevent. You know, the one with Amelia where you get referred to Prevent/Channel if you agree with the goth succubus saying chud shit. The game emphasized it was all "voluntary" several times, which made me a bit suspect. Seems like a weird thing to emphasize.

Then I did some reading on the Soviet system of crushing dissent at schools during the Brezhnev era, and compared it to the referral system they have in place in the UK for schools, and found it functioned basically the same. It even has the same name, and even repetitively called itself a voluntary referral.

Profilaktika (пpoфилaктикa) roughly translates to Prevent. The Brits were too fucking lazy to even use an original term. But just like Prevent in the UK, the Soviets for their kids had a "voluntary" referral system. Referrals were sent from the school, and the KGB would bring them in for a "voluntary" meeting. Except if you declined then another government department would come down and force an involuntary intervention. Often with a psychiatric angle I might add, you'd land a diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia and they'd pill you into retardation. I went through a few of the websites associated with Prevent UK and they were emphasizing the association between political extremism and psychological deficiency (low self esteem, recent trauma, ect). So it seems to be converging on the psychiatric abuse as well, or at least has the potential to.
