Do you ever think about just how much media will exist in the future? Now say you are into anime or video games. Eventually you will play through all the good games or watch all the good anime and be left with nothing but to wait for new stuff to come out. Imagine kids born 100 years from now (assuming society hasn't collapsed or anything). They will have access to such massive quantities of media that they will be able to consume only highly rated stuff for their entire lifetime, even if they are NEETs who do nothing but consume media all day.

>>302967If society would continue to move this way then it wouldn't be surprising if there's a huge underclass of neet consumers in the future who can consume media and games all day in their narrow closet apartments as long as they click enough ads. I think the neets of tomorrow will be turned into ad revenue generating machines but the world will most likely collapse by then or at least not be as functional as it was.

This is probably a long shot but I'll give it a try. Years and years ago here on wizchan there was this youtube channel people shared from time to time. It was this blogging channel by a middle aged guy, maybe in his 50s. He was balding and wore thick glasses. He would talk about what he had for breakfast or/and other meaningless daily life activities in a monotone voice. I feel he might be on the spectrum but I'm not sure. He worked as a wallmart greeter at one point, I remember a video he talked about it.
I can't for the life of me remember the channel's name. It was a nickname. I just remembered his videos the other day but I can't find it anymore and Youtube's search engine being the complete fucking shit it is is not helping.

this wiz must figure out how to lift a 700lb granite countertop within a month or so. i can move them around fine with some support brace thigns i've made, but to lift them out of the braces and onto cabinets… there is a lot of hurdles. joists aren't exposed so i can't rig a pulley system to reduce its weight

Each wheel needs to hold less than 150 pounds. A bicycle rear axel is less than half an inch but it can sustain several hundred pounds of rider and the weight of the bike.

i get the point of food having flavor, but drinks im fine being plain water. it takes maybe two seconds to take a drink of water. pretty sure this is why i dont have tooth problens despite not brushing my teeth. i take a drink of soda and i can feel my teeth weakening, they feel fuzzy and get caked in plaque. i do drink filtered tap water though, the fluorine or whatever in it is probably the ultimate reason my mouth is ok. it all started when the dentists recommended my wisdoms be removed, but without a good reason, i stopped trusting them. all four wisdoms came in fine. it has been great having extra fresh molars. why the hell they want you to remove them is so confusing. why not remove older molars and let the wisdoms fill in their place? i remember my disgusting cousins mouth full of sealants and fillings… he got his wisdom teeth removed and kept his shitty teeth. what a fucking scam

>>303107Often people will seek hobbies as a way to create a consistent anchor point in their life separate from the inherent instability of home, career and relationships. The shape of a hobby is far more lasting and brings comfort to people. Having a job doesn't erase in people the innate need to have one. Thus they'll go out of their way to have one.
It is true however that those without hobbies will trap themselves into unhealthy coping methods and if they don't yet understand how important it is to have a genuine care for something pure they can live in that wageslave zombie state that you probably understand to represent the majority of the work force. I don't know any statistics, but this group is rotting from the inside so you can generally tell who belongs to it.

>>303090I'm sorry. It's more fun to play games and listen to music. Today I did about 8 hours of some dark souls mod, it's pretty fun.
My food order is arriving soon, then I'll watch a cartoon or something and then play more games until I sleep. That's all my life has been so I don't really know what to contribute even if I understand that the site can only persist by sharing at least something.
I guess I can share that if you ever find yourself worked up over something it's good to remember how it actually relates to the life you live and you may find the direct influence is almost non-existent. Mostly applies to internet-related woes. There's nothing to really be upset about, even the slowness of a website you like.

>>302809It pisses me off a lot actually. Intelligence is the most important thing in the world (as long as you have no illness preventing you from using it). You can gain knowledge but a lot of knowledge is being gatekept either by money or knowing the right people. The information you get on the internet is outdated and bad for the most part.
Being dumb is so frustrating. I'm so bad in online games because I lack game sense so I run around like a headless chicken and get outplayed and then because I'm dumb I can't tell what I did wrong.
With things like investing advice I can't tell what is good advice and what is someone trying to scam you.
Usually dumb people make up for having people skills but as someone posting on this site I obviously don't have them.

Today I was going to do no games because it's been too much too long for a week or so. I'll try minimize the mindless browsing too but that's tricky for me. There is a definite art to juggling menial consumer hobbies to prevent them from going stale or putting a damper on your mind. Knowing when to let yourself be bored is a key part of this art. When you've chosen to be bored for the day it's a different experience from the struggling of the involuntary lethargy. It's more conductive to generating impulse type motivation as opposed to stress-venting complaints and redirections.
At least that's the idea, I'll turn off the internet now.

>>303255One of the best purchases I've made. I use a guard number 3 (meaning 3/8 of an inch) on my crown, sides and back, then a guard number 2 (2/8 of an inch, so 1/4) on the lower part of the sides and back. After that I cut the forward part of the top with scissors because I want it a little longer (nothing wrong with a complete buzzcut for those who prefer them, though). Took me only a couple of times to get reasonably good at it, and it has saved me a lot of money and time. All wizards who just want a simple short haircut and specially those who dread going to the hairdresser's should consider this.
