i am currently being busy reading Carl Jung and one thing young Carl understood is that people sometimes get sick because that way they have an excuse not to participate in dumb torturous civilizational shit like school.

he called this a neurosis.

young Carl injured his head as a child and for a short while genuinely fainted. he realized this helped him get out of school he unconsciously got into the habit of fainting to get out of shit.

then later when this had already become a convenient habit when he heard his father talk about him being a bitch always fainting and being a retard never being able to earn a living he snapped out of it using his willpower. his body would start to faint but young Carl wasn't gonna have it and he just said nope and refused to faint. dude couldn't handle his father considering him a tard so woke up at 3am to study latin grammer until he got good at it.

amazing story because i encountered subconscious sabotage like that many times in life. imagine trying to be healthy when you have all these neurotic habits. imagine trying to eat healthy but then your body literally cringes you out of eating broccoli because you are addicted to grain-noodles.

reminds me of this meme of a fat middleaged succubi who tried brussel sprouts for the first time and she would dry-heave from smelling vegetables and started crying. i thought of this as psychosomatic behavior but i think neurosis is much clearer of a concept because it includes the knowledge of consciousness.

made a spectacular deal and bought a used e-ink ebook reader for 35€. it was made ~2011 and it is a joy to use! i've wanted one of those ever since the first kindle came out.

i use it to display .txt files, which works flawlessly. i can adjust the text size to my liking and i was even able to change the font to open-dyslexic, which i very much like. i have not even looked at the other fonts, there are probably other nice ones available.

there is this other file format that i don't hate called .epub and besides working similar to a .txt file it can also have pictures in it, which i was surprised to learn that the little device can display. when the epub file has a cover, the cover of what i am currently reading is displayed on the sleep screen; that was a pleasant surprise for me. it may be black and white but it is still plenty detailled!

the display is just pleasant to look at no matter the time of day. at night i can turn on the backlite with the press of one button next to the standby slider. i wish the minimum brightness was just the tiniest bitter lower but it is still ok.

what amazed me the most is using it in the sun. i had no idea how much i was craving a way to use technology in the sun. try using an old laptop in direct warm sunlight, or even just a phone with it's modern display. it sucks! not only will the sun help it to overheat, it requires also for the display to be turned bright all the way to see anything which makes it even hotter and uses more battery.

to sit in direct sunlight with an ebook reader, soaking up the rare few sunrays finding their way through the artificial aluminum-clouds is the answer i have been looking for … for over a decade. for the longest time i had no answer to the question of how i even like to read. it was always uncomfortable. how to read comfortable? with a cheap ebook reader using an e-ink display in the sun. solves 2 problems at once. the problem of how to get more sun and how to even read; i think that's cool.

in other news i've had my last unhealthy food a few days ago and now all i eat is good food no matter how strong the temptation; i've done this before but never with the intend of doing it permanently. after so many temporary experiments i thought it was time. now just a few days later i remembered that my poop no longer stinks and instead spreads the pleasant aroma of fresh vegetable soup. i laughed when i remembered.

i've been eating exceptionally well the last week. basically all i eat is banana, grape, orange, grapefruit, cucumber, bell pepper, raw nuts, fresh herbs and spices. the worst thing i am eating is peanut butter but it is organic and 100% peanut, besides that nothing else but tea and coffee.

when i experienced this clean of a diet for the first time, i was so awe-struck by the amont of energy i suddenly had that it basically just paralysed me into feeling stupid for now knowing how to use it. now i still feel somewhat dumb and unable to wield this much energy but i am getting better at it and i invented something like a timeplanner that helps me use it more but i still feel like a novice.

the hard part is people can tell something is up with me and they feel incredible attracted and want to meet me and act out all the theater and disgraceful non-mutual meeting rituals. i am constantly being entrapped by ugly people who just refuse to care that they don't make me feel like i make them feel. i am a wizzard hermit so i don't like attention and when people give it to me, drop everything they do to stare at me or take video of me like i was a zoo animal, it annoys me so i have to be extra mindful of not displaying any sign of health or strentgh around people and basically pretend i am just a weird looking frail old man even though i feel like a god. the stronger i get, the more of my energy i have to spend in pretending like am weird or i literally can not walk down the street without someone blocking my path hoping i can be their missing puzzle piece.

What do you even eat the spices with from that list?

>>323278
>What do you even eat the spices with from that list?

i cut cucumber and bell pepper into little sticks and i dip those sticks into a sauce made from spices, herbs, onion/garlic/turmeric/ginger, fresh orange juice and nuts/nutbutters in the blender.

herb+spice+nut+citrus = delicious healthy sauce. that's a sauce that does not throw me out of detox. i also pour that same sauce over cabbage shreddings.

Viwoods: "A newer Android-based brand offering AI-integrated devices"

big brother type shit, sounds so disgusting to me i wouldn't even want to see a picture of such a device.

Supernote:

they have 2 models which use some kind of old android without play store. too expensive. they are designed to be used with pens. i dunno, i'd never seriously consider a device at that price where i can't even put my own linux on.

pine: this is the only silver lighting on the e-ink horizon. for some reason costs 600€ in the europe store currently while 400$ in the us. the company has wronged me already and did not give a fuck, which is too bad, otherwise i might have waited for this one and gave it a try. what bothers me is they have microphone built in but i am sure i would be able to remove them, the pine stuff is built to be accessed by the user, i assume it would be as easy as removing cables from the connector to get rid of it.

Any good ereaders around 8" that have long battery and SD cards?
Would like to load some manga on there too not just books.

>Any good ereaders around 8" that have long battery and SD cards?

depends on if you want a colored e-ink display. i don't know in what fileformat the manga come though.

the biggest color e-ink on a kobo is the kobo libra colour with an 7 inch display and 32gb internal memory and no sd card. assholes took the sd slot out apparently. they say the battery lasts for weeks.

if you don't insist on colour, you can find an older kobo for cheap that has a 6 inch screen and an sd card slot.

i didn't know the newer ones don't have sd card slot, that's quite disgusting behavior by the manufacturer. costs them literally nothing to include an sd card slot in mass production and is imensely useful to whoever uses the device.

What do I use this information for?
I also highly disagree with the open minded part like some others mentioned:

>>314616 exactly. I feel like if you selected creative/art options it gives you this which is retarded.

I really wish someone elaborated on why this matters at all or how this could be utilized for?
Best example gemini gave me is a job mismatch fix.

Things are going to (be made) so much more expensive (on purpose by people who believe a bunch of sandniggers killing eachother will make it easy to get away with jacking up prices).

Bro one fifth of the oil in the world is gone now. Oil drilling facilities also got hit and will take time to be rebuilt even if the strait reopened.

>>323158
At least you got to own the libs though right?

>>323161
Two fifths of the world's remaining oil is located outside of the desert but Liberals won't drill in to it over fake environmental concerns. They made us dependent on a bunch of goatfuckers and then bombed those goatfuckers.

>>323273
Well tell Trump that oil is high and to start investing in offshore oil because I want my offshore oil stocks to go up

>The actual metaphysical idea of predetermined vs spontaneous events doesn't really contradict human decision-making or effort
Humans are not some special woo-woo, we're made of the same matter that composes the universe. Therefore if the universe is deterministic all our choices are pre-determined.
Consciousness is an artifact of the brain that develops reality from neural inputs and our choices are neural outputs processed by this machine.
The idea that we somehow get to decide our choices in some magical way is completely wrong.

Then I'd rather have some kind of Assistance in Living, but realistically MAiD is more likely to come around.

Things don't get better and if you try, some talking head will discredit you.

Just pass MAiD and things will begin to start to get better… maybe.

It's funny, the bootlicking rightists all wish that we "undesirables" would just fuck off and die, yet make it illegal for the state to help us do so painlessly

>>323263
>rightist
True right has never been in power since like Third Reich and even they weren't as right as they could be.
If you mean zionist gop jewlicking scum under the, they need their taxpaying goyim of all kinds to be alive and suffering.

I think the worst is the food. Buy a brown bread without checking the label and you get this greasy 7 percent seed oils loaf, which gives me acid reflux. Some supermarkets where I live don't even sell real bread anymore. The very basics of life become inaccessible with this race to the bottom

I don't have any friends online nor in real life.

>>323244
Death to all friendhaver normalfags

I don't have friends anymore. and I don't have friends online

i did this when i was younger a bit but in general people are not worth being around. in a world under such inferior hostile management everyone is just looking to profit off everyone around so realistically all you are missing is people trying to gain more from you then they give you. everything genuine human social interaction is perverted and everyone is just trampling each other trying to get others to agree to bad deals.

who knows if this ever get better and there might be a renaissance of humanity because the guilty can no longer avert their bad karma but clearly this isn't it.

>>319536
I don't think you are missing much considering how petty and political some online communities are. If I can't enjoy the game while people exchange bantz then I have no interest in socializing.

schizos are gods
also try not to die in the (possibly) coming war with iran when jews carry out another false flag attack (just as they have done prior to the start of every major war for the last 100 years or longer).

So I here just wanted to say I got done reading a book written in a foreign language dated from about 700 years ago which caused me to feel like I had been submerged backwards in time so that now when I am returned to the affairs of the modern day through contact with this website I am reborn in my mind at imagining what men from the late 1300s-1400s being restored to this earth would have thought at witnessing the current corrupted state of information and knowledge and politics and wars and species of belligerent tricks like fake pandemics and fiat money and false flag attacks and all the other lesser kindred classes of deception under which humanity has suffered owing to the fact that we have since become enslaved by venetian jews. It was quite the feeling I had; just imagine telling someone from 1350 that judeomasonic occultists will have by the year 1969 convinced the greater generality of mankind that they are moving around the sun on the surface of a sphere in outer space!! Who could have imagined this; not even the original mystical-oriented Pythagoreans could have been led into the trust of such a dreamworld attaining reality. Or that (((Venetians))) will have successfully captured all the earth and after having realized shared rule over all nations are now busied in the marketing of ghost plagues because in virtue of this stratagem they have learned they are able to get depopulating drugs into the bodies of the dumb goyim whose numbers they've nominated as an excessive slave class meriting only of suppression. Who would have believed that one group (judeo-venetian finance) would have risen to such a tier of rulership that they could orchestrate whole wars and fake pandemics between multiple nations mutually under their power and that they could do this repetitively one time after the other with total impunity for centuries on end! To view the condition of our current day (wherein all monarchies have fallen, all kingship has fallen, all true nationalism has fallen, all mercantilism has fallen, all financial legitimacy has fallen) from the imagined vantage of a man living in the early 1400s is to invite a state of total disbelief into one’s mind.

But again to resume the above argument: what has happened over the course of all these years? How did we deign the world to degenerate to this? A greek verse broke into my mind when thinkingPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

nukes are fake but jews controlling governments and playing the goyish nations against each other in eternal war games is not.

where is the subscribe button, i can't find the subscribe button to this post, i can't believe i wasted this day when i could have instead contemplated this post for hours (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

what a strange time is ours that the pro-monarchists will have become the revolutionaries now.

This is more of a /dep/ post hence I apologize in advance for that: I have been a Hiki/N.E.E.T for nearly 15 years by now and it in the past few years it has been getting unbearable, the boredom and monotony are agonizing, does not help that i have nothing to do and I don't have any money for hobbies at all, I might be dumb but I don't believe wageslaving would be worse than this, I feel like I am getting crazier by each day, sometimes I start punching walls just from the sheer unbearable borodom that I am facing, it makes every atom of my body boil, I am envious of all comfy and happy N.E.E.Ts out there, I have all the free time anyone could dream of, but totally nothing to do with it, I hope you all have it much better than me, thank you for reading and sorry again if it comes off as a whinny or negative post.

Have you tried to make up imaginary characters in your head and let them debate over something? It takes a lot of effort to sustain those mind animations, it's really satisfying.

>>322679
I wonder what kind of people calls NEET/hiki 'parasite'? are they jealous of NEET and hiki or it's something else?

>it has been getting unbearable, the boredom and monotony are agonizing
funny that you say this because wagecucking for a couple years has the same result.
shitty work becomes monotone, unbearable and agonizing and you are counting the seconds until you can go home. by the time you are indeed back home you notice you are too tired to do anything that requires effort so you doomscrool jewtube and play videogames for an hour and then its off to bed so you can wake up and spend another day counting down the minutes and seconds until you can go home.
yeah and money? forget about money, as a lowly wagecuck you are just as poor as a neet.
