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.
Fortunately I left him to his own device, so it's not my prooblem anymore :D..

>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.

Insulted my subconscious last night and I think it got offended and tried to show me nightmares. I think it might be alive as in having a different will of its own. For now I am going to try and get along with it. The human mind might actually be at least two persons in one body.

it seems like consumer goods are getting worse but i think that's wrong. they should be getting better.

when i say wrong, what i mean is that the active underlying principle is automatic improvement. you do something, you get better at it. if you did it again, it would be better then what you did the first time. it is harder not to get better then to get better when you repeatedly do something.

how come so many things get worse then? i guess you can tell whether an industry is a monopoly and not a market of competition by it's lack of improvement. when they get more expensive and worse at the same time, that is conspiracy against the consumer.

they could make amazing cars that are optimized for accessible repairability for 5000€ new with repairparts that are optimized for cheap production, long life and ease of replacement. but they can't make it in a way where somebody gets rich in the process so they want this system of you being their rent slave and you have to sign the slave contract.

at the same time the act of creating excellence is so soulcrushingly difficult, nobody can do it for long even if it did not attracts so much unwanted attention. when you dare to be creative as a person, rest assured a wave of negative attention is heading your way. the same way gravity gnaws at you all day, when you step into the arena and dare to manifest then this constant unwanted attention is trying to drag you down. like a subscription to constant misfortune. i believe this is constant misfortune datacenters are playing a big role in. computer running at high speed trying to find ways to make you even sadder.

i can only see as far as my limited perception but to me it seems culture is fighting an automatic war against quality so that low-quality can exist.

Phoneposting but a lot of it is, no shit, eco regulations. The energy efficiency shit means shitty motors with shitty gears that are prone to breaking. The rules against certain soldering irons in smaller electronics means they break faster. The XBOX 360 had a red ring of death in part due to these rule changes.

Good washing machines are literally illegal to buy due to eco saving regulations in my country. You have to be a commercial business to import a specialized one with a proper motor, and it costs like $3,000.

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 first stumbled into this self-help and success ideology (in the shape of books, audiobooks or even videos of seminars) i was never sure that this would help me, but i kept at it. now 20 years later after first having listened to something like this, i firmly belive this helps. i would have prefered not to go to school and just listen to audiobooks that would interest me and experiment myself. this body of knowledge contain the missing pieces that school has an active interest in people never finding out as to make them easier to get addicted to irresponsibility and group-think. school wants to make children dependent minions and not empower them.

i think the topics/exercises/stories that are told in this body of knowledge do empower and broaden the horizon of the audiencemembers, even just for the reason that time and attention is spent on self-improvement. just listening to someone's best attempt at how to live a better live sets gears in motion, it makes the audience question how to improve automatically.

in 20 years i have heard lots of people disrespect self-help stuff but i don't remember ever hearing valid reasoning within the disrespect. i guess just frustration of people who can't find the time to self-improve and think they can get away with remaining a ball in a pinball machine.

>gurus are for normalcattle,

when you read a book of someone and it helps you, that isn't necessarily the same as being a follower of a cult.

i see it more like this:

<what is your wisdom?
>did you know you can do more?
<no i didn't, i went to school were i learned to doubt my instincts and self-disable so that rich people stay in power.
>well now you know
<thanks for telling me

>truwizs use their brains to think and does not rely on a guru to know what is right and wrong

i agree with this but you trying to paint this as some kind of religion tells me that you aren't in the habit of actively looking for things that help you broaden your own horizon.

someone like that who you call a guru tries to communicate what is possible and this can help people find their own areas of blindness. someone completely unconscious, busy with fulfilling the demands of modern culture might stumble upon the one contradiction that helps him question an awful life situation objectively.

that's so rude. what if you are a simpleton who isn't into questioning reality but you realized that you have been fooled and taken advantage of so much that (better late then never) you start the difficult journey of making sense of things yourself using your own mental verification instead of looking for experts to do your thinking. someone tired of all the gaslighting might try to find their way out of the conditioned thought- and habit-patterns and then you bum lurk behind the garbage can, ready to catapult insults at them.

that's the way out of being a cattle you dirty beardless minion.

One of my big day dreams is basically what if x men but in real life, like one day out of nowhere we wake up and lots of people have super powers or mutated into some sort of post human being.

I dont know if i would even be a super hero or villain, i would be lazy still, i picture myself as a psychic who ignores the outside world.

All of this is just a fun power fantasy. it isnt exactly forbidden, more like childish.

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.

Reading is not an inherently good activity.
A large proportion of books dull readers' minds rather than teaching them anything useful.

I liked reading as a child till I hit 18 or something because I really could immerse myself in the story, get the sense of magic, feel the atmosphere, vivid imagination of the described surroundings, but most of all because it was a window into how I imagined adults and other people would understand, experience and navigate the real world. Now I'm 33 myself and while I'm reading from time to time I wasn't able to enjoy it anymore ever since being around 18 because I've realised there is no magic, there is no window to a better understanding of the world, my ability to immerse myself got stolen from the disappointment that is adult life. Life's just dull and people are boring. There have been a few kind of interesting reads in the last 15 years but without the immersion it ultimately feels empty and like a pointless effort to read, it has no great impression.

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.
