I took it because I was a naive teenager back then and they also forced us to take it it in my europoor uni anyways, ever since I did so I've noticed my breathing has slightly worsened and it's very noticeable when exercising. I'm not very attached to life so i don't care that much but if I suffer a heart attack in the future I will know why.

I considered purchasing a Lazy Town Hawaiian shirt exclusive to Brazil. IYKYK

Typically as most of us don't leave the house, I would put on whatever is available or else discounted clothes are my go to, or if you don't have anything order them on Amazon.

I wear a shirt and a jogging, I dont care about good looking clothing as I am a friendless neet.

>>323643
Loose-ish fitting, comfortable pants, usually cargo or similar. Grey tees that I bought in bulk a few years ago. Whatever flannel shirts or zip hoodies I found second hand. So fairly unremarkable, I mainly just want to be comfortable while also not wearing sweats outside.

Linen, canvas, denim… anything with a higher (100% if possible) cotton content. I'm particularly a fan of chore coats and am on the lookout for a European or Japanese denim example ($200-$300).

yeah man, i made my titlebar of each window gigantic which helps juggeling windows around.

also having and using terminal is very nice.

if you have an unused singleboard computer laying around, treat yourself and install a text based linux (like diet-pi) without desktop environment on it and see if you can find your way around. i should have done this back when i started with linux.

it is super easy now i can ask brave how to do stuff in linux. the linux help was very useful to me, learned a ton.

>>323830
I use Linux on a laptop and I actually like the desktop environments, so no text-based distros for me. I don't think using GUI's to do certain stuff like distro installation is necessarily a bad thing, but you really need to know how to use the terminal if you want to experience the freedom and flexibility of Linux.
You can't use Debian-based distros on a lot of ancient laptops anymore with them having dropped i686, this was really bad for retro tech. Well atleast you can still use the Thinkpad T60.

>>323856
>I use Linux on a laptop and I actually like the desktop environments, so no text-based distros for me.

i'm not saying switch to a text-based distro, i'm saying once you stepped into the arena (on a virtual machine or on a spare laptop for example) you will be glad you did it. because once you felt how nice text-based is you can cherry pick situations on which to choose text over graphics. i wish i did this sooner, don't repeat my mistake is what i am trying to say. text-based is awesome i regret staying so long on graphical. graphics are bloat!

>>323863
>because once you felt how nice text-based is you can cherry pick situations on which to choose text over graphics
thank you for informing me

Wallpaper? First thing I do on a new install is disable wallpapers and screensavers and such. I'm boring I'll admit. It mostly stems from being a Windows refugee and the carnival of widgets and icons and popups and such… I need the silence.

I was rereading the original run of The Avengers to keep boredom at bay, and yet again I'm impressed by John Buscema's artwork. I checked his wiki page and there's this passage in there:
"Buscema's passion for drawing was such that he continued to draw and sketch in his spare time, often on the back of comic book art pages, and these images form a considerable body of work in their own right. His brother Sal Buscema recalled,

This guy used to eat, sleep and breathe drawing. It didn't matter what was going on around him. He would get bored with it and start sketching. … He just couldn't stop drawing. [His back-of-board sketches were] better than some of the stuff that he did on the front. … He'd get a spark of inspiration and turn the page over and draw whatever was in his skull"

How nice it must be to have such passion and drive for something.

>>323907
It wouldn't surprise me if most of the well-known Golden Age comic book artists were like that.

>>323908
I think even a lot of current artists are like that as well but current artwork feels so sanitized and toothless. This is Dan Mora's style, one of the guys everybody likes now. It's cute but there's just no grit at all. It's too lightweight, can't quite explain. It also appropriates too much of manga, which doesn't suit cape stuff well. This is all a matter of taste of course, but I'll always like the old guard better.

>>323907
Sound more like self-imposed slavery than a passion, at this point.

>>323883
That image in response made me chuckle.
>if humans weren't addicted to live above their means, they wouldn't have to enslave all the other creatures.
That's how I saw this for a long time as well but I heard someone explain this "metacrisis" as a bunch of prisoner's dilemmas / multipolar traps essentially. Let's say people like us are a tribe and we do our best to live simply and in as much harmony with nature as we can manage, so maybe hunter-gatherer plus what little agri/horticulture can be managed without animal husbandry. As soon as any other tribe begins to engage in agriculture and so on, they will radically increase their population, manage to specialize, increase their offensive technology and so on. Basically everyone else now is forced to also engage in these actions if they want to survive against this other tribe. Of course this leads to a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do. And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.
The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

Like you I try to do small acts of intentionally limiting myself, consciously going against this constant propaganda to consume more, be more comfortable, not think about any of these issues and so on. I'm quitting coffee for instance, since I don't live in a place where it grows naturally and habitually drinking something that requires multi-continental supply chains is no longer something I want to engage in, no matter how normalized it is in industrialized nations. I'm doing similar things with the rest of my diet as well.

>>323884
>a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do.

yeah this is why we can't have nice things, maybe this would change once people realize that every form of technology is automatically a weapon but this would require responsibility and responsibility is the thing people built weapons for in order to avoid it.

race to the bottom sounds like an awesome name for a band or a podcast.

it is quite difficult to carve out a little space to survive while the race is happening indeed. when keeping in mind what you just succeeded in expressing, everything that is worth capturing will eventually be part of the corrupting efforts of competing groups which is why human progress can only happen in the realm of maximum insignificance. as soon as you get popular, some group tries to turn you into fodder for the cannon. the difficulty of the age in which people refuse to understand that competition is the problem (and not the solution) is to remain underneath the threshold of detection as to avoid otherwise inevitable corruption.

>And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.

it is quite challenging trying to keep up with the rate at which things are enshittifying through self-sufficiency but what else is there.

>The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

what is more surprising there isn't any relevant information on what each foodstuff does to the body compiled already
no current research either
all you can find in medical papers is nutrient x correlates with condition y
last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century
even worse the info out there is full of misinformation with people trying to shill a product

you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.

the solution to this is look for the information yourself. in this case i believe it means: you have to know how each type of food is digesting in your human body.

in the beginning you might not be able to know all the details like ph-values about everything but you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle. you can tell how long something travels through you, how it makes you feel, if you feel tired, hopeless and depressed or strong, optimistic and full of life. meanwhile advertisement and convenience try to seduce you.

>last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century

don't limit yourself to science if you are so far as to understand that science is but the expression of the inferior system. science found the lymphatic system in the brain only a few years ago while others knew this for a long time. recently they (the science bitches) found the brain converts glucose to fructose.

>you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.
Yes
>the solution to this is look for the information yourself.
There's not much you can do except toying with different kinds of foods and diets and see how you feel. If a certain routine causes cancer in the long term but makes you feel good in the short term there's no way to know this.
>you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle.
best case you find some routine which works for you, nothing really compensates for this lack of information and presence of misinformation
>science is but the expression of the inferior system.
The modern way of doing science was invented in Western Europe a couple of centuries ago in a society very different and unlike our current system. Science itself is not tied to the system and people's outside of the system also engage in investigation, speculation and collection of knowledge.

>>323874
>Organisms without a brain do not really seem conscious to me.

assuming you are correct and the body is not conscious then explain to me how the body knows when a good moment to poop is and when there isn't. when it is the worst time to poop, the body pauses until a better moment arrives. this is stuff the body is running in the background but it is running it so good that it can coordinate with your schedule. if now is a bad time to poop, your body understands that and my question is how. i assume it reads your emotions and the information you collect with your senses. does that not sufficiently represent a form of consciousness? your digestion knows what is happening in your life enough so it knows when to poop. do you know your digestion enough to know what to eat? because if you don't then i could argue your digestion not even IS conscious but is even MORE conscious then you are.


>I don't think plants, fungi, invertebrates think or have opinions.

i heard trees coordinate their airspace so that other trees are not in competition with each other for sun and rain. some say they communicate and share resources with each other. i have not looked into it too deeply but this is what i would expect of something that is alive and unable to move.

ants are an empire.

fungi have their own internet.


>Further animals with consciousness like cats, while they have consciousness are not intelligent and don't have any more complex thinking than "in this place I can find food" or "I like this human".

i think you are not privy to a lot of information that would lead you to believe otherwise. i think cat's live a crazy life, they are strong, dangerous with impressive movement ability and sense perception but they also have the worst digestive load. they have to digest flesh which requires strong acid and a lot of time. i am so thankful to have my digestion and not that of a cat.

>Your post reminds me of this untrue belief plants and flowers can feel things and are self-aware, while any significant consciousness starts at animals with a small brain like mice and birds.

I don't see how this post refutes my argument or advances your own.
When something goes wrong or well in your body your nerves connected to it create these pleasant or unpleasant sensations. You somehow claim there is something intelligent hidden behind hunger or pain while it's just blood sugar dropping, nerves picking this up, and sending this info to the more voluntary part of your nervous system.

i wish death were eternal nothingness
that would be the greatest mercy

>>323881
>assuming you are correct and the body is not conscious then explain to me how the body knows when a good moment to poop is and when there isn't. when it is the worst time to poop,
My argument is that consciousness is strictly located in the central nervous system, which makes most of the body a non-conscious flesh slave to the brain. As for defecation there are tiny nerves wired up to the digestive system which monitor and control the entire pooping mechanism. If you damage the nerves but leave the bowels intact you get incontinence, loss of voluntary control of digestive functions while there is no pain, meanwhile if the digestive system is damaged but the nerves are intact you actually feel pain.
>i heard trees coordinate their airspace so that other trees are not in competition with each other for sun and rain.
I'm not saying it isn't alive, I'm saying these organisms are not-conscious. There is no "passenger" or soul stuck in a plant or fungus. Ancient Greek philosophers used to discuss which creatures had souls and which has not. Forming complex structures by itself is not exclusive to life, I wouldn't say mineral crystals communicate with each other because they compete for resources.
>i think cat's live a crazy life, they are strong, dangerous with impressive movement ability
Their life experience in the wild is characterised by struggling to hunt for food their entire life. Nothing like human beings which have language, abstraction, religion, complex social structures. Their primal animal "intelligence" which makes them remember where there is food or get sad when one of their kittens dies is nothing compared to a human's mental and emotional capabilities.

>>323881
>yeah you can argue that there are degrees and differences but i think you are judging consciousness by what little of it you have seen so far
I argue there are no conscious beings without a central nervous system. Plants and fungi are life without consciousness. Humans and animals are life with consciousness or soul. Then there are edge cases like worms and certain invertebrates like sea stars where a very small CNS is present regulating physiological impulses but obviously consciousness isn't present there.
>one thing that is keeping you from seeing more of the bigger picture …
I'm well aware the body gets overwhelmed by stuff like processed foods, cigarettes, etc. You are diverging from the main point of the discussion and insisting you magically know stuff about other people's personal health. "I can sense their body screaming in agony" completely ridiculous
>people who are insisting everything that is not medical science must be a scam
Nowhere did I say this
>the body can delay the much needed deepclean
this "cleaning" of the body like removing certain harmful stuff with vitamin C and the killing of microbes by the immune system has been extensively studied by science, this stuff isn't hippie stuff

>>323885
>Sorry this is too much for my brain. Maybe use simpler words so I can understand, also i am enjoying all the excitement of this wrestling match, i am glad i decided to attend!

human attention; the thing youtube says it sells to advertisers when you ask the company behind it how it got all the money…

is human attention worth more today or worth less today when you compare it to 5 years ago?

when you try to use money as a measure to answer this, you will get two numbers and i expect one to be higher then the other. but this might not be wise to do because just because something costs more money, it does not mean it is more valuable. that difference might be measuring nothing but unimportant predictable boring waves inside the ocean that is the monetary system and not represent any actual value whatsoever.

thinking there would be a school that would encourage children to question money reveals how little you understand about both school and money. schools teach children to depend on money and equate it with value.

You bring a lot of good points here. The issue with non-offending paedophiles, lolicons, people that dwell within and along the margin of society and even the ungrateful NEETs (if you are aware of your situation then this does not apply to you as I am also a NEET, just not ungrateful) is that they do not understand that there must be some strict moral and law code in their countries and of course with the majority of populaces abiding by it so that they can live peacefully and with stability; For such status and standards of living that they have could only have come to fruition by the consequences of the deeds that were produced under such rules. Were it not to be so strict, we would have Brazil or other countries in South America that are ruled by kleptocracies and ruined in lawlessness and poverty due to the ubiquitous moral inversion and chaotic hopeless environment that it brings in every facet of society. Of course I do not expect to come here and see first-worlders being aware of something so simple and taken for granted given that they live in countries that have been, in the past, subjected to extreme conduct enforcing aristocracies wherein the people that broke the law or displayed any characteristic of antisociality were brutally killed off in state-sanctioned hangings, beheadings and burnings at stake; Those being the types of death penalties that were in activity for an extensive period of time before anti-being characteristics were rid of for good, whether it might be due to the display and kind of message that such lawful brutality instills unto the people or even the 'intergenerational trauma' that was cut off and so no longer perpetuated for there were the endings of such lines of blood. I hope that anyone that reads this can also take a time to reflect upon how different and barbaric the brown hordes of immigrants called refugees that are invading Europe are, you might think of that whenever you see a video or news of some little succubus being raped to death or stabbed violently merely by existing by such beings 'of light' that are there, and it might also be the reminder that getting rid of the development of a conscience by burying or inverting the ancient teachings of what is good or bad and the differences of each that they have achieved the Frankist end-goal of demoralization and degeneracy of Biblical proportions worldwide.
