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?

Hey, I just want to say that I love this thread. It's one of the best threads here and I really appreciate it. Much love to you all.

I agree that 4chan feels pretty bad now. I vastly preferred 2015-2021 4chan to post 2021 4chan. The site just got way too big and full of the worst normies.

For what it's worth, I'm not 100% pro-Israel or philosemitic. I really dislike the ADL especially. But if I try to have an objective debate regarding the current situation in the Middle East (or anything really), I get screamed at as a Jew, etc. Hundreds of ad hominem attacks for every one or two really good gem discussions. It gets tiresome.

To be fair, Reddit, YouTube, etc. are all horrible these days as well. Perhaps the internet is slowly dying. Maybe people themselves are getting worse. C'est la vie.

You just described two habits. Pornography use and imageboard browsing are habits we have developed over time. I do intent to modify them as routines can be changed.

>Are you really? If you were curious, reading and thinking about the subject (studying) wouldn't cause so much discomfort that you would rather avoid it despite the negative consequences.

Right, you developed the "habit" because you kept doing it, and you kept doing it because……? My point is that there needs to be a reward, "something worthwhile" in the activity as a prerequisite, otherwise no "habit" can be formed. If an asexual man looks at porn every day, he won't develop a habit because it's inherently un-pleasurable to him. You won't develop a habit of studying, unless you can get a reward through the activity i.e. genuine curiosity that gets satisfied by reading and thinking about the subject. Perhaps it's possible to cultivate such a thing and I think that's a more well-defined problem than "I'm avoiding doing the work for some reason, how do I continue bashing my head against the obstacle until it gives in?"

>I find this a dangerous logic cause being adverse to change/challenges are you going to gaslight yourself that you don't really want to to anything other than laying down and rot?


I mean, that's one option. Maybe not studying the subject you don't care about is the most rational option. Best case scenario, you somehow force yourself to memorize a bunch of facts to pass a test, and you're then stuck in a unsatisfying career path where you have to trick yourself using 20 different strategies in order to sit down to do the work. Someone that is genuinely curious will always outperform you because all his energy is directed towards the actual goal, rather than 99% of it being wasted in internal conflict that makes you want to procrastinate.

I have started dabbling with dowsing. Found a four leaf clover. Thinking of hunting for treasure. Maybe when I found enough treasure I'll buy a boat and seek treasure at sea and fly the black flag, lots of booty at sea I reckon. I have noticed your luck at dowsing increases when you practice no nut. When I fap I just have no luck, but when I retain the dowsing responses give me the chills. This is the secret to success become a real wizard and hunt for treasure. We could live like kings. WE COULD LIVE LIKE KINGS

>>319149
Dabbled in dowsing myself.
It's more of training your senses and subconscious to basically use whole brain processing to give binary analysis.
Takes a ton of practice to become consistent and reliable.

Can't see how no fap could possibly help, but dowsing is pretty personal so if it works for then it works for you.
My advice is that the more knowledge and experience you have with the thing/answer you are trying to find and the area you are searching the better and more consistent your results.

Also dowsing the ocean is very difficult even when using map dowsing. Don't know exactly why but I have a few guesses. Most related to the tons of salt water creating interference and lack of intimate knowledge of the floor of the ocean.
Both might be overcome with enough time at sea.

This is why i despise him. These snakes will make people enter a depressive spiral when what "should work and works for everyone else" (works for normalfags with a bout of sadness and sub100 IQ) doesn't work for them.

>>316801
It does not. If it worked people wouldn't be lifetime customers to psychtrash.
Some people that are broken aren't in this state because they are too dumb to figure out basic shit.
Many are decently intelligent, introspective people.
If you have an objectively fucked situation and a deep understanding of it, you can't breathing exercise your way out of it.

What should be understood by most is that life is for the most part deterministic. The more you understand the more you will realize this.
What you are and how you act is a result of your genetics parsing and reacting to your environment.
If you need some psychomonkey to tell you this just read Jung.

I actually lucked out with my male psychologist, who after a couple sessions just told me that he can't fix or change me.
When you are what you are and your views are coherent and rational there is nothing left to do.

Religion works for those who can resign themselves to it, but if you are too far gone you will doubt it endlessly, seek further knowledge and spot the flaws.
Once you notice the cracks you'll pick at them until the fog clears and you are back to where you started.
The same goes for any self-help psychononsense.

he never lost it. the medical board reprimanded him but it caries no penalties, fines, nor does it prevent him from practicing. apparently, after 2 year investigation, all they could say is that he "engaged in conduct that undermine[d] the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession" during his interviews with Reckful, the streamer that killed himself. so basically he just made therapists look bad, but didn't technically do anything wrong. the interview had all the usual disclaimers, but he was seeing the guy for private sessions and those were actual sessions. i remember destiny and other streamers going over that interview with a fine tooth comb trying to find anything, but aside from some questionable spirituality crap, he didn't do anything outwardly wrong.

I’ve given up on human interaction. It both bores and scares me. I really enjoy feeding birds because I know they are just going to go about their business quietly, like me. Recently I read crows have the intelligence of a 7 year old child in some regards. They can recognise faces too, my question to any bird watchers or ornithologists here is how do you befriend them? Gain their trust? I’d be happy to just hang outside with the crows all day, or maybe have one or two regulars at my balcony.

I love crows. I catch mice in traps and put them out on hay bales by my house and they eat them fast. I also put unsalted peanuts out and they love em. They like cat food too. They're never gonna sit on your shoulder or anything like that if that's what you're hoping for. At most they might eat or hang out in a tree with you nearby if you keep like a 20 foot distance. When they see you they'll often caw at you too, I think it's their way of demanding food which is funny.

Yes, it is very possible that a raven would try to pluck the eyes out of a dying human, and they tend to do so in certain circumstances. Here's why:

Opportunistic Scavengers: Ravens are opportunistic scavengers. This means they feed on a wide variety of sources, including dead animals (carrion).
Soft Parts First: When feeding on a carcass, carrion birds, including ravens, often look for the softest and easiest-to-access parts first. Eyes are precisely one of these parts. They are nutritious and relatively easy to peck and extract, especially from an animal or person who is dying or has just died and can no longer defend themselves.
Observed Behavior: There are numerous accounts and observations of ravens and other carrion birds (like vultures) feeding on the eyes of dead or helpless animals.
Intelligence and Learning: Ravens are very intelligent birds and quickly learn which food sources are accessible. If a raven has had a previous experience finding eyes as an easy food source, it is more likely to repeat that behavior.
State of the Human: It is important to note that this would occur with a person who is dying or already deceased and cannot react. A raven would not typically attack a healthy, living person to pluck out their eyes.
In summary, due to their scavenging nature, their preference for soft parts, and their intelligence, ravens have a tendency to try to feed on the eyes of dying or dead animals, and a human in that state would be no exception.

not an ornithologist (whatever that even means) but within the city crows tend to pick apart trash and look for food within said trash. you could help them by throwing a piece of bread their way every now and then. they can get by on their own so it wouldn't be a huge loss if you didn't and just observed.

What is the difference between a cop shooting you in the face, and a gang member shooting you in the face? What makes the former 'legit' and the latter 'criminal'?

Has there ever been one example in human history of that invisible entity calling itself 'government' that didn't exist outside of its self-declared right to kill you if you didn't do what it said? That a tiny minority (or even one single person) one day declaring "I am in charge, now. Bow down or I'll murder you." and everybody else inexplicably nodding and going along with this psychotic nonsense?

I'm not being an anarchist nor a lolbert. I fully understand the need for this objectively nonsensical situation in order for humanity to function and prosper. Without somebody holding a bigger stick than someone else, that someone else has no reason to behave himself.

And there is no stick bigger than God.

There wouldn't be ~3 billion Christians and Muslims if somebody didn't convince them all (with violence) that if they misbehaved that after they died an invisible sky fairy would exercise incalculable sadism by trapping them in trillion-degree lava for the rest of time.

And the only reason that this schizophrenic idea stuck is that somebody with a big stick told everyone else that "this bronze age book of barbaric bedtime stories is all true and in fact nothing is more true than it, so do what it says or I'll kill you AND THEN you will 'die the second death' by being trapped in trillion-degree lava until the end of time".

What is the point of this OP? Nothing, really. Just had this on my mind while lamenting that existence in its current form was a ghastly mistake, if there really is some sort of unmoved mover and ground of all things that created it. And that if there is no outside-of-time-and-physicality lawmaker behind the invisible concepts we call the laws of nature, that all there has ever been and all that there ever will be is a fully-automatic universe consisting of incomprehensibly small bits and bobbles bouncing around in the cosmic void, then there is no such thing outside of things, that what we call "concepts" are just us trying to cast invisible nets around invisible nonsense to try and make sense of an ultimately senseless existence.

Happy fucking Caturday.

Yes, somewhat recently, but it was more of a hobbyist project, where I built a miniature hangar for a couple of aircraft model kits that I bought. Right nnow, I am working on a radio-controlled aircraft, which so far I have used my 30 year-old X-Acto knife and my 50 year-old pliers on.

When I am done with Uni, I will probably be moving out and once I do that, I hope to build my own furniture from scrap wood and stuff like old doors. The thing is, the only power tool that I have is a Dremel, which is 30 years old (I would not call my 30 year old soldering iron a power tool in the same sense).

I restored a pair of hemostats that I found in a park. God knows why they were there (maybe drug paraphernalia, as I have seen some drug dealing happen in that park, which I reported the the authorities). They work well now, but I still need to work on getting them unstuck.
>>315289
Most of them have been well kept and are fairly high quality brands, like King Dick, Sears Craftsman, Peterson-Dewitt and Heart Brand (Wynn, Timmins & Co. Ltd.). The aforementioned hemostats might be worth treating with this stuff.

I suspect it is converting the rust to magnetite (ferral-ferric to ferral-ferrous oxide). This kind of 'blueing' is used a lot in gunsmithing and the like. Very effecting for creating rust resistance on the surface of metal for better future protection. You can actually do this by steaming and carding, and avoid chemicals altogether but it is somewhat of an art to get the timings right.

A small tip to keep things from rusting is to get an old tin can and wrapping a rag extremely tightly inside of it. You then fill the can with a choice chain oil or similar and it will coat the vulnerable surface in a very very thin oil layer. I use this tactic on my vice which lives outside in the shed, and it has slowed further rusting to a crawl, even without any treatment. Just apply another coat once in a while when you remember.

I hate cyberpunk 2077, it failed at depict a cyberpunk. it mimics cyberpunk and looks like a gta game in the future they should have made the game based on the genre and not only mike pondsmith's table top rpg game.
It is lame compared to other cyberpunk games (example: deus ex).
I hate cyberpunk 2077 for another reason too; it is that when you type cyberpunk 2077 in the search bar, every results is about cyberpunk 2077. the results are 99% of the time about cp2077 (it completly broke the genre on internet). cp2077 was a mistake to me and a burdden for the genre.
But now that the game exist, it is good because now you can separate the bad cyberpunk media from the good ones (and cp2077 is a bad one!).
about cp2077, is now normalfags think what is cyberpunk is what they saw in cp2077 (neons, shitty rap music,…).
anyway, enough of cp2077. I only played 10 minutes of the game.

>What cyberpunk media (game, book, music,etc…) did you consum?

>Is your life High tech, Low life?

there's some elements of cyberpunk in real life but cyberpunk is just far away from reality. just take surfing in the virtual world (cyberpsace) and using internet on the computer or even cyborg arms/legs. Or megacorporations, but yeah william gibson is right, we have cyberpunk things in reality.

-I like the neo-tokyo city in Akira. it make so much sense to me to build an artificial island on tokyo bay with neverlasting buildings.

-I also like Kowloon walled city. maybe the most cyberpunk area to ever exist. If I was about to make a video game on cyberpunk, I'd add a kowloon level haha!

-One thing I don't like is flying cars. when you see cyberpunk cities, they have roads but if flying cars exist, better make all cars flying therfore not making roads. I don't want to it to turn into the fifth elements. The cars must no fly. or only for ambulances, firefighters and police. so to me cars shouldn't fly

As I remember it, Willaim Gibson has denied being the inventor of cyberpunk and has said that there was no need for anyone to coin the term cyberpunk since dystopian scifi has a long history and that trying to codify terms for tiny subgenres tends to cheapen the sense of intentiveness and exploration you can get out of scifi. Other people spent decades calling Gibson the "Father of Cyberpunk" and after a half century of other people calling him that I think Mr. Gibson has stopped fighting it.

The term "cyberpunk" first appeared as the title of a short story by Bruce Bethke, written in 1980 and published in Amazing Stories in 1983. The name was picked up by Gardner Dozois, editor of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, and popularized in his editorials.

Apologies, I didn't mean to post that post like that. I had a much larger post in mind but accidentally hit post. I wanted to avoid the word claims to not start a flame war.
My issue is more that people use his definition to define what Cyberpunk is, his definition is nonsensical and sociological, trying to grift off the punk part of the word for edgy pol reasons.
In actual fact Cyberpunk as we know started with Bladerunner, it's an aesthetic, arguably then the best thing Ridley Scott has ever invented.

I have a better definition of my own that i think is just plain better and self evident.
Cyberpunk is near future scifi and deals with the powerplay over information technology or data. It's about hackers, cyber security, new cyber technology, mass surveillance any thing to do with information technology scifi.
As opposed to regular scifi which deals with exotic forms of energy manipulation, aliens and other far out physics, biological and chemical concepts.
Cyberpunk is purely about information tech. Lets just say data, so we avoid "IT" as the term.

Cyberpunk 2077 was indeed poorly executed, but I think creating a cyberpunk work is always some type of gamble and they took their shot, based on their views of what a dystopian future would look like.
I think Ghost In The Shell achieved great success in its gamble, predicting a very relevant and realistic dystopian future. Even the music, specially the works of Yoko Kanno for the SAC anime, hit that style that makes you believe it could be "the music of the future". It all makes sense in GITS, and good writing definitely has great impact on that, as well as environmental design, character design, etc.
At the end of the day it's all about personal taste, wiz, there's no objectively better cyberpunk themed universe, they are just different, maybe there was less creative effort put into the creation of the CyPk2077 but it's influential now and we have to deal with it.

what you say about cp2077 is true and it makes me sad because cp2077 is the most well known piece of cyberpunk media in this era
