Father's old Firefox on Windows 7 stopped working after a blackout. "couldn't load XPcom" or something. Tried to open as an administrator, it didn't work. Internet Explorer refused to work, only Google Chrome download page was working, but it was for another bit OS. I connected my mother's smartphone to PC to transfer Supermium exe. Then I tried to download old Firefox portable, but it couldn't get language packs. Firefox worked, but I deleted it, now Supermium is there. I obviously asked if anything was saved in Firefox before uninstalling it. Didn't know the old version would be portable. If more time, I could've done more. Whatever. Previously, my father refused to get Supermium (last update like 2 months ago btw) due to it sounding close to Spermium. Now, it looks like he's doesn't remember about it.

3 day ban for calling a fictional nigger a nigger in a movie where he is called a nigger by other characters. This mod must have had an awful day.

4chan used to be great, but only because of what the community made of it. Moot has always struck me as a massive cuck, easily swayed by the opinions of others, and his successors take on after him.

>>322369
Technically the current owner of 4chan, Hiroyuki Nishimura, did it for much longer than Moot, he made the original japanese 2ch, sold user info to japanese government, got into scandal over it and eventually lost ownership over his own creation, IIRC.

Then he bought 4chan and obviously doing the same thing with it now. So Moot is more of a failed successor to Hiro.

>>322370
I don't know much about gookmoot other than the aforementioned and that he truly does not give a fuck about 4chan except for the attempts to squeeze money out of it.

I genuinely wonder what has happened to moot. They obviously wanted him to replicate 4chan's popularity and memetic potential at google which I guess what google+ was.

>>322371
It's honestly a bit strange, I've heard people say he's been doing well in the past, but it was in like 2020, I think. Wikipedia just says that after the 4chan deal Poole joined startup program at google, then was moved to working on google maps later on and finally left google 2021, so that's like four years with no info on what he's been doing, or no public projects under his name, at least, every article just says "he's been keeping low profile since then".

24h hour fast. I feel fucking great!

Have you checked the latest news on 3I/ATLAS?

Apparently the object is propelled by some weird energy, NASA is about to publish the weirdest pictures yet

>>322382
weirdest picture will be some glowing rock, GAYSA needs to show me a fucking alien or stfu

>>322383
who needs aliens when you got wizards?

preparing my resume to get another job besides the one I already got. If I get this job I'm applying to, it's gonna get real wizardly.

finally submitted my resume and cover letter.

Working as a hiring consultant as a wizard is great. I just got a resume and CV from some guy who nowhere on either did he explicitly state that he ever had sex. If he gets a job here, his coworkers will make his life hell by conspiring against him, ruining his life, causing him grief, bullying him, being passive aggressive towards him, violating his rights, and again just plain making his life hell. That is guaranteed to happen. I've never witnessed it happen but everyone on Wizchan says that's what will happen to a virgin man in the workforce so it must be true. I'll save him from that fate by shredding this application. I'm a hero.

>>322384

Holy fuck those guys are just skin and bones.

>>322397
Do you really think someone could even be alive if they have no internal organs and were only skin and bones? Moron

I have so many things I want to do yet I end up spending all my free time trying to organize and plan out my schedule only to end up doing nothing every weekend.

>>322402
I mean I've been getting by pretty well without a heart.

finally got an email after sending my resume and cv. I need to do a video screening interview now of just 5 questions. I hope I get this job.

The problem is not so much consooming things as consooming them too quickly and thoughtlessly in order to get to the next thing as fast as possible. It's like playing an rpg and being a munchkin getting all the loot impatiently instead of immersing and role playing. I have shallow unmemorable experience not necessarily because the content is bad. I was just dopamine-driven to chase new things as fast as possible and not cherishing and thinking more about what I see and hear.

Gotta admit I am not immune to propaganda or peer influence and stop reading retarded content.

wizant telling the psycopath grassnorper he is not on this earth to serve him

Getting so light headed and sleepy I feel like fainting so now I have to watch porn and goon to stimulate myself.

it's really hard to be optimistic when you get beat down repeatedly. I'm a very resilient person but it's getting hard, like I know it's starting to take a toll in my mind.
I just wanna live my life and believe that good things are going to happen even if I keep trying and I fail, I still wanna believe that good things will happen but I am getting tired. I'm noticing I cannot act like nothing's happened. I cannot ignore the pointlessness.
Gonna enjoy my food, today.

I wish I was more creative. Everytime I try to pick up a creative endeavor I get absolutely 0 novel ideas on what to make. It's like my brain is unable to come up with anything, all I can do is copy others.

fell asleep watching the AVGN, slept 12 hours, woke up and decided to fap, I did it 3 times to asian hotties so hot I bookmarked them for later use, then took a shower. Now enjoying a comfy sunday morning, sitting on my chair. No plans.

Reading ragebait content on the internet simulate social defeat. In real life if a guy disrespect you, you can confront them to vent your anger. If you chose to hold back your anger, that's social defeat because it means that the guy can do what he wants to you and you can't, meaning he's stronger and higher on the hierarchy. Posts on the internet are the same. You get angry but there is not much you can do to fight back because the person is on the other side of the world. Your best option is if he engage with you in an argument where you humiliate him, but most internet arguments go nowhere and you might not even get serious replies from him. So it left you standing with your unresolved rage and you're forced to walk away, just like in a real life social defeat. It's even worse in big tech social media where arguing gives someone engagement and boost them, so even when you think you're fighting back you're actually helping them grow and making sure more ragebait posts are encountered in the future.

>>322488
You can be confronted and not engage with an antisocial low iq norper because it's a waste of time and therefore choose to ignore the nigger even if you're upset or angry.

>>322489
A nigga hollering at you on the street probably doesn't register as competition. I am more thinking like some guy at school or work clearly insulting you in front of everybody who laughs at you, or a superior belittling and pushing work on you, or a growing political movement that is hostile towards your group. Things that are clearly social conflicts with winners and losers where not doing anything about it is clearly losing. Social media ragebait feels like the movement type because idiots find each other and whenever you see offending opinions they always have lots of support. Even in the boondocks example I feel like the guy wouldn't be so smug if the nigger had done more to humiliate him such as spitting on or slapping him or something. Walking away only works if you feel like there is no harm done, otherwise you are accepting a loss.
>inb4 tough guys saying they'd just pull out a gun or call the police when that's not the point

Relatable. Maybe its time 2 start being bad. Beats doing nothing.

Anybody seen that Akash Singh thing? No? Talking to myself here but man, that is an insane thing. Never really watched him or his comedy, he always seemed like a toady suck up from what little I saw of him and now through his one-sided marriage that's become a comedy focal point, I find out that he was technically a wizard until his marriage to his wife.

At this point to me he is now a sort of "peripheral" case study for wizards and crabs. It would be interesting to know what his early school life was like because just from his standup clips and his role on the podcast he seems like a sycophant that would burn bridges and shit on his (actual) peers if it meant that he would escape from a (wizardly/crab/low status) social rung.

He specifically reminded me of people in school who would desperately try to join cliques that would keep them around as yes-men and, literal and figurative, punching bags.

And on top of that it seems like he's also the sort of person that would forget that he was faking it to make it, believing his own lies since apparently this dude gave relationship advice despite being a virgin and claiming to have married a virgin succubus who obviously slept around. His succubus is 10 years younger than him, so he can't spin it into a highschool sweetheart story gone bad. I'm guessing that he must have been your average nerd with low social capital (he was apparently doing medicine before dropping out to do comedy) invisible to succubi and that as soon as he got big money he picked the first attractive *indian* succubus who gave him attention to get married to, *indian* because it would enable him to use his culture as a cover story as to why he was a virgin to the point of wizardry. The funny thing is she is both above his league and not; she clearly has/had more social capital than him but he could have easily gotten a more obedient gold digger if he wasn't so desperate to make up for his insecurities.

>Singh
>Remained a virgin until his arranged marriage.
That's normal for people who chose to take up that last name after completing the necessary rituals to become one of the "Singh" castes. He's not some paragon of abstinence; rather just another ugly religious guy who couldn't get sex unless the female believed that the gods demanded she give it to him.
>he's also the sort of person that would forget that he was faking it to make it, believing his own lies
Lying to others and being self-assuring of one's infallibility is also a staple of that particular group.

In 1986, the "Rent-a-Friend" VHS was released for lonely people with VCRs. The 42-minute direct-to-video program featured a friendly man named "Sam" (played by Ben Hollis) who looked directly into the camera, asked the viewer questions, left space for answers, and offered compliments to create the illusion of companionship.

It was sold through mail-order ads in the back of magazines and some video stores, priced around $19.95.

you really cannot force yourself to do anything you don't like or not quite interested into for a long period of time, like I couldn't imagine myself reading a book of computational aerodynamics, not even 10 pages of it. It'd be foolish. Actually torturous. I do fancy the idea sometimes of learning a subject I think I'm interested at a much deeper level but it might all be a consequence of wishful thinking. I find it all pointless.

>>322503
Yeah I spent my whole teens trying to force interests. Like if I'm a history buff and get into Euclid and Alchemy, now I'll be good at STEM. Doesn't work.

>>322509
I had a similar problem and tried to become a STEM guy because I love books and learning new facts… did not work at all; spent years blaming this or that external, but it had never dawned upon me some book-loving types aren't built for STEM.


Good, this is reassuring to know, as I had a similar problem limiting my educational growth.

>>322503
Thank you for reminding me a person cannot force 'self to do something disliked long-term, as I've been soaked with this very willpower-is-everything bullshit and it collapsed my self-esteem into assuming something is very wrong with me.


Your post is, pardon my French, liberating, merci beaucoup

>>322525
my dad still thinks oh if i read books about the stock market instead of history, i could make daytrading a full time job

my current situation is both good and bad. on the one hand, I got a lot of free time. On the other hand, I can't enjoy anything. I've been through a lot these past few weeks and doing my best so as not let it bother me but I suppose I got depressed like 2 weeks ago.
Right now, I cannot even enjoy masturbating. I don't even feel that lust, I don't, my dick is hard but that's it. I cum, I feel nothing. No pleasure, no orgasm. Same with food. I went out to buy what I usually find tasty and nothing. I feel so little pleasure, almost nothing. It's like anhedonia in the most basic of things. The brain isn't releasing dopamine or it releases very little.

>>322526
Day trading success in the long term is much more about raw IQ and real time brain processing power than studying, degrees or building bots to do it for you.

Day trading by its' very nature excludes 99% of people excelling at it due to their innate intellectual (lack of) capability given genetically.

Father started his another attempt to make me agree to get nanoSIM to my tablet, so he could browse during blackouts. I forgot to tell about mobile internet worse connection during blackouts (he experienced it on my mother's phone) and about me using my tablet without WiFi with offline YouTube downloads, pdfs, and images (mentioned it in the last). Didn't bother about privacy as they don't care about it. All the ruse about getting nanoSIM for me was off, though previously at least once the true motive was mentioned too.

I told to get his own tablet. There's cheap ones, he surprisingly bought a smartphone after all his denials in the past. He still would bring his Nokia (not the black and white meme one) to his job, leaving his phone at home without mentioning and giving his number to his contacts except for his friend and his brother in Viber. Perhaps he won't tell his co-workers too, just like his other friend.

Infinix, silver, Android 15, made in China, it has more built-in memory than my tablet, 50/10 megapixels of cameras - mine got 10/5 megapixels. Mine tablet costed more in 2019, than his better by some parameters smartphone in 2025. It even has a flash which mine doesn't. My tablet is also Android 10. The phone has a green button for one function and one for non-omittable function of AI-assistant. When my tablet was released, AI wasn't even a thing.

The mobile internet improved at the switch on estimated time, even though the light still wasn't on in the apartment for a few minutes. Temu was pre-installed. I deleted it.

I post on wizchan because I'm a loser. Not the other way around. It's okay to be a loser when it's not your fault.
