from what i remember, when using an iphone you store data on apple's servers and they scan it for illegal shit. i don't know the extent, or what the data is, just media stored on their cloud services? but yeah that is one step worse than telemetry imo

>>311264
Nowadays you can even install windows on your android phone if it has snap 850 or higher.

All cloud services are inherently unsafe, the only correct action is to disable Google Drive or iCloud on the device.

>>311436
Unsafe in what way? I agree that they are privacy violations, but aren't the potential harms dependent on your identified threat models, and many people seem to have threat models that do not suffer much from using cloud services.

Also, Google Play services encompass far more than just Google Drive, pretty much every feature has it's tendrils in it, unless you're using a de-Googled ROM.

>>311442
The only way to achieve iOS levels of anonymity and lack of prying eyes is precisely through using a de-Googled ROM like Lineage or Calyx.

As for cloud services, as said above, it is 100% certain the drives get scanned by said companies.
Keep files, passwords, documents on the internal storage only.

By the way, you should post about true crime ITT: https://wizchan.org/hob/res/67347.html

Did it with Handguns, yet politicians called for bans on ARs afterwards despite ARs barely being used in crime at all.

i'm confused. is this a brag thread or are you complaining about being homeless. how long have you been homeless for? please tell me you're not larping and sleeping in a car. none of this post makes any sense at all.

so what you're saying is, most men expect that you can just go up to any random asian man and get him to suck your dick? Is this some sort of asian cultural more I'm not aware of?

I’m spending my money now taking my mother places she’s always wanted to go because I think we’re only years away from a serious collapse in living standards.

how is it not already falling? We are already in the midst of a mass extinction. Your comment reads as thought the doomers havent been correct, but to me they have been. I thought i was a doomer but every year things turn out even worse than i expect

>>310998
what are you exactly talkin about though? because if it's climate change, it's going to change the world a lot and bring various kinds of damage, but it's not bringing extinction at all.

The book of revelations isn’t a prophecy, it was meant for 1st century Christians and it’s clearly describing Roman persecution on them. It’s very similar to the book of Daniel which also isn’t a prediction

>>311000
sounds interesting do you have any videos, articles or books talking about the culture of 1st century christians and how it ties into revelations?

>>310858
There are plenty of optimistic philosophers like Leibniz who said this was the best of all possible worlds. Or Plato who used the term Demiurge as a compliment not an insult. As someone above said Schop and Cioran aren't the mainstream of philosophy.

>>310859
That anon is so green it's funny. I would recommend reading some history of philosophy first since it's painfully obvious he can't tell his right hand from his left on the matter. Frederick Copleston books are an excellent start and I enjoy them a lot.

philosophy was created to undersrand our world and why we do things or why this is happening

>>310858
reading what someone else thinks doesn't make you incapable of thinking yourself, rather it enhances the process because it gives you something to start from and work off of. Also, not every philospher is schopenhauer

They made me realize how shitty life is

one way that IBs have affected me stems from the way one can just dump their thoughts on the void without any link to any identity whatsoever, precluding the possibiity of keeping registry or even mantaining continuity. Especially in vent threads.
Whenever I had some unresolved thought process, sometimes even with processes that were just starting to form, I would go and dump it in a vent thread and sort of truncated it, but also by virtue of typing it out, I would cement it in it's embryonic state. This meant that it was both cast as a statement about me, contributing to a sort of self-assertion, while also forgetting it and never developing it further. Sometimes I would read an old vent and realized that I'd written it and that it was something stupid that just came out in the spur of the moment. But by writing about it I gave it more force, at least at that time. I also developed the habit of rushing into the vent thread whenever my thoughts would start to spiral. I stopped doing this when I realized what Im as doing, but traces of this remain, and I often go and repeat my issues on random posts across several boards, always writing some version of the exact same message, in a long wall of text ramble. This is not it, though, this is a meta commentary of my own awareness of this ongoing issue.

if it weren't imageboards something else would have fucked you up, don't you think? Neuroplasticity is a thing so you can still quit if you want to, but what will you replace imageboards with, it's up to you.

It can, but if you lived as a normie you'd probably be having to pay child support for kids you're not able to see.

>>306682
I discovered imageboards way to early. I was like 12 or so. It blackpilled me to no end. I was a bright, optimistic kid and became a protowizard in like two years of lurking. I am 26 now and there is no way back, my brain has been molded by the imageboards and their pessimism regarding existence.

I think the Internet changed forever after Tiktok has been invented, Everyone's brain now has been fried by short span attention, and everyone's humor is self aware and contains meta elements and everyone thinks they're funny and the repetitive ness of the same memes and overusing them is what killed memes, Internet is a fucking hellhole now everyone makes fun of everyone if you try a slight bit to do something you'll get mocked to oblivion. Yeah we're fucked

>I think the Internet changed forever after Tiktok has been invented
tiktok is just vine, which had its own predecessor I don't even know the name of. Are you really gonna try and tell me people had high attention spans in the early 2000s lolsorandumb culture?

>>310576
There was vine before.

>>310604
100%. We had a longer attention span than gen Z, which is remarkable considering how short our millenial attention spans were already.

>>310576
it's better for the masses to be spoonfed entertainment while comatose on the couch looking at their phones

tiktok is just this generation's <entertaining technology>

you had cards and other gambling, newspapers, radio, pictures (television), big screens (movie theatres), cable/satellite television, internet, social media, tiktok

people were just as fucking retarded 15 years ago with facebook, their entire life was spent on that site. my fucking grandma was on there playing farmville. they had news, they talk to each other, they played games. it was like boomer roblox

tiktok isn't even as impressive honestly as early facebook, but it does seem more addictive and i guess that's all that matters

>>310573
Yes. But it's because I'm very ugly.

Yes, Moroccans are way too fucking rude for no reason because you're better than them in matter of looks or status
That's why i stopped going outside

I work retail and cycle in the US, so yes, lol.

Just existing on a bike causes some people to rage for no reason despite not doing anything.
Especially dudes in lifted pick up trucks.
And certain shoppers feel like they can vent their totally unrelated bullshit on me since I am lower in the social pecking order. Then get shocked that I just wordlessly walk away the moment they get rude. I am payed to put shit on the shelf. I am not payed to be swore at by some Karen because we don't sell some online influencer brand I never heard of.
Thankfully it's company policy to kick rude customers and that wagies are under no obligation to endure abuse. We aren't allowed to swear and be rude back, but we don't have to sit there and take it ether.
But I work the night shift and never work customer help desk so I don't have to deal with the worst of it.

The bike thing is legit scary sometimes though. Like one literally rode up on the sidewalk just to freak me out before speeding away with his middle finger raised.
Like seriously, did a cyclist fuck your mother or something, what the fuck dude.

>but can whites really be into Buddhism?
We shouldn't be. Buddhism was spread upon a hundred million through forced indoctrination of the young for the sake of raising a subservient, passive, weak population content to suffer to the benefit of a select caste. A philosophy of feeling so worthless that you spend 12 hours at work just to go home to your own cramped shared apartment to shit on the kitchen floor. But that's OK because it is WRONG to feel any discontent for your position in life. Don't get angry; that strays you away from Nirvana! Buddhism was invented to take advantage of a booming population of uneducated men by stripping them of their individualism and making them believe that life is inherently suffering no matter who or what you are. Then those who are "awakened" promise these people that they can be lead to a state of being free from feeling the weight of this supposed suffering while being walked all over by these very enlightened individuals. All they have to do is endure their afflictions indefinitely, even if it's someone or something specific and material that is causing them stress.

For any race that isn't primarily comprised of inbreds, Buddhism presents a danger because it introduces this false concept of universal guaranteed suffering to people capable of basic introspection, which culminates in a few conscious thinkers being trapped in a downward spiral of self-doubt and cosmic despair. These thoughts are destructive and lead to more imagined issues that wear the man down, which can only leave the man worse off emotionally and spiritually. And will he ever become enlightened during this depressive spiral? No. He can only lose the chemical capacity to feel anything at all. A self-lobotomized zombie from a brain that had to cut away its ability to feel because the poor guy who owns it couldn't stop imagining new ways in which the world is cruelly unfair. He was told after all, that if he kept thinking about those things, he would rise up to become free of ALL suffering. Yeah, through a shrunken neofrontal cortex. Just that part of the brain that diminishes with inbreeding. Inbreeding being mandated through arranged cousin marriages at the discretion of the "enlightened caste".

I've seen it said that India went too spiritual while China is too materialistic. I don't know anything about Hinduism.

>>310494
But Buddha tried to reform Hinduism the way Jesus reformed Judaism. Just like Jesus got rid of the Jewish law, Buddha got rid of the Hindu caste system. Buddhism was largely rejected by India, and its still Hindu today. The Chinese Emperors tried to stamp out Buddhism the way the Roman Emperors did with Christianity.

> life is inherently suffering no matter who or what you are.
Buddhism provides techniques for extinguishing suffering, though?

>being trapped in a downward spiral of self-doubt and cosmic despair.
who? not the buddhists, they are usually pretty content and happy, as that is what their practice is.

>He was told after all, that if he kept thinking about those things, he would rise up to become free of ALL suffering
focusing on your thoughts is an explicit anti pattern for many kinds of meditation. you're doing it wrong.

>a shrunken neofrontal cortex.

Not different of Christianity, including the quackery prophets (gurus) asking for money or sex exchange for nirvana (eternal life in heaven), besides this mortal life doesn't mattering. I believe that religion is more a thing to solidify folk culture and rules, nothing more and that each people should follow their one folk religion, but European are long run, so it's better to be atheist and focus on philosophy for ethic and moral guide than following other people culture (religion).
