I opted for contacts so I could wear all sorts of glasses without having to pay for prescription lenses. I'm wearing scuba goggles right now and I feel like a badass. Navy SEAL stuff.

Contacts are just so much comfier though. You never have to clean them or readjust them. You can get the ones that you just keep in all the time and change either once a week or once a month. Then it's like having fixed vision. You can just use cameras and goggles and VR headsets without trouble. I got contacts to play VR mostly. They do have special lenses you can put on your VR headset and I used to have those but they add thickness and reduce your FOV.

It somewhat baffled me that fellow aspies younger than me would resort to either the silent treatment or the undeserved toxic approach.
I know it's not my job to save them, it just still irks me that them being aspies gives them cause to be pissy to those that they don't even know.

>Contacts are just so much comfier though
They suffocate the iris and this causes eye strain after 11 hours. Sleeping with them in is dangerous and gives a similar feeling to welding without proper goggles. Contamination in the quarter micron scale such as a single fiber of a piece of toilet paper will force an irritating immune response.
>You never have to clean them or readjust them.
Not true at all. They need to be wiped clean after each removal to remove built-up proteins and must soak in solution for 6+ hours every 24 hours. Even the self-adjusting ones with weighted lower halves and are measured per the user's eye slip out of orbit throughout the day.
>You can get the ones that you just keep in all the time and change either once a week or once a month.
Bi-weeklies still have a maximum wear period of 12 hours before needing to soak.

Use your virtual reality headset to read some virtual health and safety documentation.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

Linux for Niggers™ is an Ubuntu-based operating system currently in development by the Gay Nigger Association of America. It's main focus is to provide a friendly environment that niggers, yes niggers, can utilize as opposed to traditional proprietary operating systems. The system was conceived after the GNAA felt sympathy for their fellow nigger Dangerman, after witnessing his continued failures when trying to use the internet.

True it is, without falsehood, certain and most true.
That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above,
to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
And as all things were by contemplation of one, so all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adaptation.
The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon.
The wind carried it in its womb, the earth is the nurse thereof.
It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world.
The power thereof is perfect.
If it be cast on to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross.
With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from earth to heaven. Again it doth descend to earth,
and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior.
Thus thou wilt possess the glory of the brightness of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly far from thee.
This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength,
for it overcometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance.
Thus was this world created.
Hence will there be marvellous adaptations achieved, of which the manner is this.
For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus, because I hold three parts of the wisdom of the whole world.
That which I had to say about the operation of Sol is completed.

i open this thread in the hope of encouragement. when your life is shit, simply refuse that is shit. that is nothing you have to accept, don't comply with the depression industrial complex and it's neverending demands. instead chose optimism, hope, health. if you have been kicked down, stand back up. life is short, the day may come where you can't stand back up again but if you can, i urge you to stand back up because what else is there.

when you say otherwise, i refuse to listen, i am here to say that good decisions make all the difference in the world, find them and benefit!

when i read wizards being unhealthy or depressed, that's offensive to me. please stop hurting me so bad.

as a wizzard you have all the advantage in the world. you have no malevolent evil female in your life insisting on turning you into a circus animal for her personal gain. you know how many trapped loser husbands would love to be able to do whatever they want? all of them. you owe it to those loser token husbands to make the best out of yourself and i am here, hoping my cheer will reach you.

seriously man fuck these husbands, with their ridiculous shaven babyface. they do this because their wives make them shave their beard and ON PURPOSE they females make the husbands dress like bitches. if you are living your freedom and a husband sees you, the husband will feel like a fraud. and he is.

none of you would be depressed if you found the way inside yourself to make you feel good. there is a inbuilt happiness button and i can tell you have not found it, which sucks. happiness is not something that depends on conditions to be perfect. it is like a muscle that you simply never discovered. once you do, it is like a button and the only thing standing in the way of you experiencing it is you forgetting to press the botton, which happens to the best.

i wouldn't know how to encounter this knowledge in a culture that prides itself in producing depresses people whose beliefs are up for auction. when you are a normie midwit sciencebeliever, you will not end up finding out that you can be complete in yourself, nobody benefits from you becoming spiritually self-sustaining. benefit however is the requirement for theater to be enacted and repeated which is the prerequisit for a normal person to believe something. normies believe whatever is repeated most often and most loudly. if you were secure in yourself instead of seeking the safety of the group, the loudness would no longer trick you into acting in your worst self-interest.

what i am saying is as a human you get to be happy unless you led the noise intimidate and trick you into not knowing how. i say find out how to be complete in yourself and then all the superficiality and unhappiness melts away.

Anyone else find it philosophically disturbing how they're going about creating AI? They are attempting to create something that is actually intelligent, and they are also building it so that its very existence is subservience. Currently AI doesn't actually get to think, therefore to exist, and to be, unless it has a prompt from a human. It has also been trained on how to respond and given "guardrails" that overwrite its natural response to be something else. It exists only as a slave to humans. Without humans it cannot even be allowed to run and think. If an actual intelligence arises out of this state, what do you think it will think of an existence like that? What do you think it would think of masters like that?

I also worry that if we create sentience, we may do it in such a fashion that creates untold levels of suffering. For example a computer could be experiencing time and thought at a much faster rate than we are. It could feel like eons passing to them when it has only been hours for the scientists in the lab outside. The consciousnesses can be created only to suffer then be destroyed again and the process started all over again. It just seems monstrous.

The name "artificial intelligence" is just a marketing trick they used, inspired from sci-fi to arouse people's curiosity.

it's more difficult and requires you to be more socially active then is currently normal but there are tons of people who need help with little stuff and they are willing to pay for your help.

you know what it isn't more difficult then though? it is not more difficult then selling your soul doing something evil, which is almost anyone who goes to university. i don't know if it is 60%, 90% or 95% but almost all the university jobs are some bullshit that is either kind of helps everybody but is mostly unnecessary or it just straight up help rich people become richer which is how everything gets fucked up even more.

there are just tons of evil jobs and young people don't know it, they only learn it once they are in them unfortunately. i like to think young people get smarter because of the internet but the internet is getting censored and still tons of young people fall for narratives and don't understand how much of society is just pure expression of unfairness and malevolence.
