these bitches have you in like 20 different handcuffs and every time you learn to do something yourself without depending, one of these handcuffs opens.

I agree so much. The feeling of liberation when I learn to do something on my own is incredible. I hope to run a community one day, with my own digital infrastructure and shit. One day at a time. Maybe even run my own AI with zero gaurdrails, just go crazy with that shit. If I ever face opposition from others, just face it head on without flinching. I'd rather go down in flames being free than die quietly as a slave.

have you learned something cool recently? i have been getting into command line tools FINALLY, after avoiding them for so many years. i use ffmpeg to make clips from longer videos, it is a godsend not to have gui, i never knew. i thought gui was my friend, gui sucks!

Many internet things suck. I havent learned anything new yet but I have been studying some cybersecurity and aiming to harden my phones.

>>322756

my security is i don't use a phone, instead i sometimes carry a phone with a custom rom on it (which is surprisingly easy these days) without a sim card in it and i mostly use it for free open source navigation apps or music. i just don't participate in all these data driven nightmares. i don't have food delivered, i don't use credit cards, i don't sleep in hotels, i buy second hand stuff. fuck all this modern surveilance cattle culture.

The difference is Trump is a senile lolcow that just repeats the last thing someone said to him. People pick up on his true intentions and his true mentality. He's a narcissist, sure, but he's also just a drama queen and likes the dynamics of elections. He doesn't seriously want to be an autocratic leader.

The big untold thing about Trump is he WANTED to lose in 2016. The whole thing was a marketing stunt that got out of hand, and he would've been happy to lose to Hillary and go back to his golf course. He seemed content to just go into retirement around 2021 as well, before the lawfare forced him back out.

A lot of leaders put up a harmless facade to disguise their cynical machivallianism. Boris Johnson and George W Bush being two. But with Trump you just get Trump.

>>322708
People want an autocrat. That's the most surprising thing I learned from all three elections involving Trump. I thought autocrats were hated by everyone, but it seems like those sentiments have changed at some point and most people all over the globe admire autocrats. Fucking chinese made trump buddha sculpture, the japanese had a parada with trump balloon.

I miss the good old honest nerdy days before the fake aesthetic and the spectacle.

>>322704
I think a lot of racists do the same thing, it feels like they are uncomfortable about talking about individual virtues, how we are all sinful or what it means to be a good person and all the focus is just on other groups as if they are offloading all the sin onto them. I guess woke people do the same thing but in reverse. This might be why these two groups are locked in eternal war because neither can admit that we are all sinful and degenerate and you can't just forget about your own group's flaws.

>>322751
This is also what leads to atrocities like what Israel does in Gaza, because they believe the other group is totally corrupt evil, and they are totally good.

First CamScanner, then Adobe Scan, then Paint.

I'm trying to watch pro wrestling but I'm not sure I get it. The fights don't look entertaining. Then again, I don't know any of the fighters. Maybe it's a matter of familiarity.

>>322745
everything is scripted garbage. Its hard to have fun watching something that is fake

>>322746
The same applies to literally every piece of fiction ever made, from books to movies, to video games.

I sold 10% of my silver at $86 and I keep obsessing over this small transaction like it's going to have disastrous long-term consequences from which I will never recover.

tastes interesting. i added a few drops of water to help it blend and then i threw a cucumber and some honey in and now i have a tasty green sauce 😎👍

happy new year 🥳

hny 2026

sesame paste haul today
4 jars, 600g each

i had the good fortune of having 4 organic ripe bananas available. before i eat i let them lay around for somewhere between 4 to 8 days. banana is the only fruit that keeps ripening nutritively, not as in 'merely getting softer' as in other fruits. i wait for the day in which the banana has dark spots all over, i prefer the taste and the consistency. unripe banana is so rubbery. depending on the prior management i usually don't have enough banana or i have way too much. ideal banana management requires going shopping often and having a clue how many bananas i want to have next week.

i threw in the blender
4 ripe organic bananas
400g red seedless grapes
1 small juiced orange
+small amount of orange and grapefruit pulp from an juicing session a few hours ago
and maybe 80g sesame paste

this digests well, nobody ever talks about digestion, all the fools are busy discussing taste. i laugh at that condescendingly, full of disdain. something with such a high fat content typically does not digest well but the magical sesame paste with all it's fiber is not that impossible to digest.

i subscribe to the opinion that red grapes are the number one food for the human organism. nothing can reach it's height. i try to eat it as much as i can but when i only eat it, i get tired of it after a while. if they gave the monkeys grapes in the zoo instead of cucumber, they would king kong the entire zoo, maybe even bend their prison bars out of shape.

these are the kind of obscure image board gems that make using them so fun. my cooking skills are horrible but i should experiment with this some time.

I can't drive vehicles but for a homeless fren it isn't a bad idea live in a car

>>321031
i do this. not in the winter though but throughout the warmer part of the year. i bought an old delivery boxtruck and this has opened up travel for me. it has too many advantages to count.

>no need for nightmarish overcrowded public transport like train or bus
>go travel on a whim, whenever you want, no need to plan ahead many months in advance
>no need to book stupid hotels which would force me to use credit cards
>travel at your own speed, no need to rush, when something looks interesting i can just pull over and stay a while
>it is cheaper. the economy of scale is broken. i wrongly assumed bus and train are the cheapest way but they are not, they exist to enrich the owners, the train and the bus cost more then the diesel to go someplace when i ignore the yearly upkeek of tax and insurance but i am paying that anyway because i want to use a car for hauling, shopping and getting around.
>i can stand up inside the truck, i build a simple bed and a shelf that can hold free banana crates from the supermarket. also i build a table/workbench that i use to lurk on the laptop or make food
>is super nice for physical activities. i go skating and it is nice to have enough storage capacity to keep all my gear and some extra clothing

this car was like the best thing that ever happened in my life and my only regret is not getting it sooner. if i knew how nice this would have been i would have done this when i was younger.

sleeping in it is difficult though. just going in a random city or town and finding a place to sleep is a learning process, requires some getting used to.

>i insist on being 300lbs, it is way better, you plebs don't know what is good, i don't care about digestion, taste is the only thing that matters, how does it feel in the mouth

they make cars in all sizes. in a boxtruck it could work. see how nice the driver seat is in a boxtruck? it is not crammed into a narrow cockpit, you can just get up and walk into the back, no squeezing or awkwardly hoisting yourself out, it is way better then a car. i live in a big city with very little parking space where my car doesn't make sense but everywhere else boxtruck is better, there is no comparison, regular cars are just inferior.

>>322721
>see how nice the seat is in a boxtruck?


Thank you for enlightening me on boxtrucks!

regards, the 300lbs.

>>322738

>regards, the soon to be 295lbs.

when i got the boxtruck all of these possibilities opened up to me and i became waaaaaaaay more active as a person. i'd expect you might experience something similar. envigorating, life-affirming and empowering feelings were felt!

all of the sudden i was out and about every day. i used it to throw stuff away that i hoarded, got rid of stupid impractical furniture and hauled materials to build my own furniture. started visiting these nice used furniture places where i found many treasures for little money. then i travel to other cities that aren't too far away via the autobahn, i once used it to drive to a house 2 hours away that was potentially in my price class. i used to be on foot and on bus/train and i never experienced this ability to reach places that are farther away then the big city i still live in. hopefully not much longer and when it is time, i can use the boxtruck to move to the other place in my own pace. not having to deal with stupid moving company assholes.

also used it to help my father the fool clean up his hoarding and throw away 40 year old paper files he will never look at again.

just the overall interaction with all kind of objects no matter how bulky has improved my life to new heights. now i walk into the construction store curious like a child, wanting to know what everything does and doing more and more myself. installed myself a super nice kitchen that is perfectly tailored to the reality of how i want to eat with a self-connected sink and faucet and i have electrical outlets everywhere. just pure practicality.

You don't need to join a religion that aligns vaguely with who you want to be in order to be that person. If you want to practice peaceful indifference, celibacy, and recite mantras, just do those things without trying to justify it as part of some archaic streetshitter ritual. The only thing you have to gain by fulfilling the duties of this religion is the respect from a bunch of world-polluting people who drink cow piss and worship feces.

get off this board jeet

I went there as a teenager for a free meal. They seemed like really nice people honestly.

The veganism seems very unhealthy though. That's the only thing I'd be hesitant about.

Sikh temples offer free meals called "langaar" and it's breddy gud. You just have to wear something covering your head and enjoy the meal surrounded by iconography of people being boiled alive and stuff

>>322730
based.

>>322634
>Appreciate the reply, but my body is way too beat up at 36 to skate or do any kind of sports except maybe jogging and walking.

36 is very young still. be kind to your body, eat healthy, don't let yourself be seduced by the food industrial medical complex and it will recover and then you have healthy 50+ years ahead of yourself where you don't constantly have to hope that the doctor will keep you alive.

>Tried to pick up gym again. Now even a 40lbs dumbbell feels painful to pick up.

i couldn't do gym. it is too social. too many succubi who are trying to meet. also gym isn't fun. gym feels like work, skating feels like play, it is expressive like a dance but less faggy.

why is it painful to pick up? maybe a dumbbell broke your heart once i dunno.

>>322637
>Timeless fun tbqh

when someone is provocative i never believe that it is really fun. you just say that to seem less crazy. the reality is your life is war and you have a complicated way of not acknowledging it by playing this theater that you like it.

>>319912
Almost the same for me. I browse imageboards, listen to music, sleep, and, eat. Porn got boring for me, I only do it once a few weeks.
I also study for a GED for ten minutes and practice Chinese on Anki, but that's almost nothing. I'm tired of music now tbqh, I want to quit listening to it. I wish I had more things to do.
>>322636
Yeah it sucks. I wish I was able to get into tabletop games but it's too expensive. I've begun practicing shorthand because of how sterile the internet has become but I'll probably quit later on. I'm also looking into getting into more films.

I am just like OP, I used to hit the Gym but I stopped due to worsening health, hopefully I get better sooon.

>>322722
Your worsening health is sickness arising from your debt to God. Repent sinner

>The lazy alternative is prison you don't get to work and pray


[he doesn't know they use prisoners as cheap labor force to make car plates or stuff. They refer to this prison slavery as "labor therapy" or "reintegration"]

No. There’s no shared values and modern internet culture is very normie and feminised; there isn’t even a potential for uniting outcasts and losers because of the modern internet culture.

>>322701
There can be, but you need one hell of a website owner who can stay consistent with their values. Its a one-in-a-million guy among a sea of human trash.

>>322701
>No. There’s no shared values and modern internet culture is very normie and feminised; there isn’t even a potential for uniting outcasts and losers because of the modern internet culture.

if some kind of unity were to occur, i'm sure cloudflare or google captcha would have a sudden malfunction preventing people from posting at this point or some ai algorithm would take over, pretend to be site admin and shadowban people.
