>As a guy with a fucked up back/arms from years of neanderthal autism posture + stupid job giving me arthritis, I'll never be able to play the piano at a master level.


Random shitty advice: grab a synth, not a piano

put it near your bed

play it! Or, if you still can't, just sequence a silly beat to play on loop, and use it as your background music of "u tried" vibe.

gooning to pornography is not a hobby lol, drawing pornography might be since it requires a creative effort but masturbation is just a normal activity in humans and monkeys.

>>226426
it can be a real hobby. you can spend hours every day collecting, organizing, sharing, buying toys, improving your fap technique, making montages, generating AI pics, discussing it with other gooners etc.

I'm ugly and had undiagnosed autism(diagnosed in hs) for most of my upbringing so I didn't get proper treatment from people around me. My mother also abused me a lot because of it, I blame everything on her.

Can't say exactly. Bit of mental illness and spectrum stuff, I think, but I've never been to a doctor for brain related things.

Part of it is that I was the weird kid. Somehow I started lucid dreaming in kindergarten. This permanently messed up how I think about reality, but back then, it mostly meant that I believed alternate dimensions were real. So I'd think about alternate dimensions a lot and tell people I was visiting them (it was more live vivid daydreams), because I was already convinced I could visit "alternate dimensions" (dreams) and these were just weaker connections to them.

Most ignored me but a few kids kids would smile and nod or ask questions about whatever weird thing I was talking about, only to turn around and laugh with their friends about how weird I was. I usually didn't catch on to this for months or years at a time for each person who tried it. I have a very hard time trusting people now. I'm always listening in to people around me to make sure they're not talking about something I did.

I'm just really glad this was in the 90s. They probably could have pushed me to suicide in the era of social media and everyone having A/V recording devices in their pockets.

Another part of it is I am not someone I would ever want to live with. Mental space is not very good a lot of the time. I can be very mean/hurtful if it's not in a good state, and it hurts me a lot (usually as self-hate) when I hurt someone even a little. It didn't seem right to suggest this person as an option to anyone else.

>>226456
The medium is the message, or as they say. I feel imageboards allow for a sort of unique perspective due to the detached and impersonal manner people approach whatever subject is being discussed. People don't really care about their reputation on here.

I don't think it's a coincidence that pretty much 50% of internet memes, and a good deal of internet slang, had their origin on 4chan for a long time. That really only stopped when the video format became more important than images for meme making, that's when the avant garde moved more to twitter and TikTok. The people on 4chan aren't exceptionally intelligent or creative either, most are pretty stupid. But if they land on a joke, like /tv/ with the word "kino", or sneed, they'll instantly make a thousand variations on it.

>>226462
This might actually be another layer of the trap without realising it. While to be sure, at some point 4chan was the patient zero, before it got to that point it was *itself* the amplifier and distributor. I'm thinking specifically the flash era when newgrounds and rotten.com and whatever other examples my addled brain can't recover provided the "captivating multimedia content" which was throttled by the bandwidth available to 4chan and the typical user at the time.

I'd actually go so far as to say the death of flash is/was the death of the internet we had - because flash was notoriously difficult to automate in a meaningful way, and in turn any flash based content had labor and thus motivation/inspiration behind it.

>>226460
When is the distinction drawn between the algorithm and the unwitting human agent of the algorithm. Algorithm incited harassment will happen first I think, and it'll probably be both easier and more effective.

wizchan allowing video threads makes it so much more hi-tech than 4chad and it wont be left behind

It was a dumb idea. Don't worry about it sorry.

Why would you even want to be friends with normies? These people are unthinking cattle whose existence on earth is inseparable from what the rest of the herd thinks. Their cruelty should roll off you like words with saliva from a maladjusted lick-spittle. Do you also feel resentment when a dog won't lick your face?

Read this ED article and understand why you are gay:

>"No one owes you their kindness"
>No one has to have a reason not to like you"
It's because now crab communities (fringe normies) are mainstreaming. crabs post anti-social shit on anonymous platforms and then hide their involvement. It's all normie discourse.

They (normies) are saying "No one owes you their kindness" to each other and their fringe communities subsume other male subcultures because they don't know any better. You're not visible and when you are, you're categorized into known stereotypes.

The day's discourse is spreading and justifying prejudice against non-conforming individuals.

Everyone non-involved is caught in the splash area of damage.

Black guy won a sports competition? "That's all they're good for, sports"

The low IQ human mind in all its' hubris is capable of infinite mental acrobatics in its' quest to convince itself everyone else sucks, and he is the only good person worth anything.

>>225845
Nah, I was thinking to use a chatbot to talk about stuff.

If LLM chatbot doesn't understand me, then it's probably too raw to get my point.

If it does, however - that's comfy.

The ugly truth is most copers are just full of shit, pathological liars and denialists, and are in fact constantly at the brink of suicide.

Most people you chatted with 5 years ago have committed seppuku or been institutionalized in a mental ward.

Practically no man can tolerate wizarddom into their +40s unless they have some kind of mental retardation that prevents them from understanding how fucked up everything is.

I'm 30 and there's no way in hell I'm going to be here at 35. I can barely take another 2 years and that's only because my parents still care.

>>226440
I doubt most are dead. Much like I doubt you'll be dead by 35. A lot more people think "I'll be dead by then" than people who actually go through with it.

It's slow because there are less people. But therefore there are also less people baiting, sliding threads e.t.c. which artificially inflates activity numbers without bringing anything of value. I have threads I made on other boards that have been up years and people I've talked with for years in them, usually with many months between posts back and forth.

I'm 29.

I am a newcomer. Let's say people from another IB used to tell me "wizardchan tier" sometimes.

Anyway, I have reached 30 successfully, pretend to be "normal enough" at work, work as a solo warehouse "manager" (a handler, actually - cargo, packaging, stuff). Still fear the job may be taken away by some random bullshit reason, rather than a proper one.

It's been funny. I wasted my teenage years avoiding school and people in general and just played video games and was on the internet all day.
I continued this into my early adulthood, but I did make an effort going to college and working part time, but I didnt socialize that much, just vidya, anime, and internet.
Now for the past however long I've just been working my cushy office job making decent money I thought I'd never see.
But, at the end of all this, I'm playing the same exact video games, watching the same kind of anime, and reading the same crap on chan boards.
I would be lying if I didnt mention that I have made attempts to try normalfag things, but from I gather from those experiences is that you should just do things you enjoy after your responsibilities, which is hardly anything as a single man. Just have to make all the bills are paid, food in the kitchen, car working, and apartment clean.
I try to have more intellectual pursuits, like doing deeper study in my field of work or in philosophy, but these past few months I've been in limbo just doing the same old thing. And I'm content with it for the most part. Times like now I feel this weird nagging feeling OP is feeling that I should be doing more, but I fail to get motivated to do them because the reward just isnt that appealing.
Yeah, I can finish reading Kant, but to what end? Maybe that's what I need to do to satisfy this greater spiritual desire that I feel.
Almost like living on autopilot is antithetical to the human experience and it hungers for some greater satisfaction from exercising agency and exerting your will upon your life.

Sorry for the rambling. OP, if you're anything like me, achieving those goals will only do so much for you. I believe people that have had a persistent depression throughout their life are just gonna have to suffer with it, no matter what you do to do the things normals want you to do. You can get a good job, a big house, nice car, maybe even a wife that is amazing and kids that are great. Our brains are just wired to be pessimistic about life.
Assuming this to be true, the best course of action is to invest time into figuring out how you can manage all your brain dysfunctions. At least that way you dont set yourself up for disappointment when you do accomplish your goals.
Life is just underwhelming.

>>219448
Meanwhile, I am happy to reach the goals of my wiz-tier life. I am now an old geezer, who is all going mad over "damn kids and their damn bikes with damn sawn-off exhausts"

>after…hit 30

lucky you

my "hit me" happened as a childhood "trauma" of my two parents abhoring each other to the point of criticizing me over a little nooky or cranky noise.

(Im kinda proud I have my job, at least. Its really comfy and cozy at time, and at other times, its demanding, but its also important - I handle spare parts for factories)

>>226421
key phrase:

>once you have it figured out.


sigh… I never did.

It's great - it really brings about a sense of agency.

And then invariably within about a week or so after making longer term plans something comes in to fuck it up.

That said, in the aggregate, the net accomplishment seems to be greater than grab-asstic idleness and opportunism.

I've been trying to brush my teeth everyday recently, that's the closest thing to a routine I have experienced in a long while and it just feels tedious to me.

I maintain my routine such that my tasks coincide with the daily uploads of a certain niche youtuber. It's pretty fun to finish what I'm doing and be rewarded with a 20-30 minute video to chill out to.

Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from the experience of change. Simultaneity or succession, that are the basis for change, would not come into perception if the representation of time did not ground them a priori. From that a priori intuition we can ground further apodictic principles about the relation of time. Because this inner sense has no shape we can make analogy and represent the temporal sequence as an infinite line and infer from the properties of the line to the properties of time, with the sole difference that the parts of the line are simultaneous but those of time are successive.

>>225878
you're lifting quotes from the transcendental aesthetic without attribution and modifying the wording slightly to adapt it to my post and in so doing making it seem like it's contradicting it when the original (and sometimes also your modifications of it) are in perfect agreement with it.

>Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from the experience of change.
the "change" i'm talking about in that post is not something one can have an experience of, but is a "feature" (or "form" in kantian) of experience itself. change is not something you can touch, see, hear, etc., but is a feature that is always present in experience, the the changing itself of sensations (tactile, visual, auditory, etc). therefore, it's not an empirical concept, since there are no empirical objects from which to abstract it from. the way i "derived" it in the post when i said, "look for time in our perception", wasn't by "drawing it from an experience" - because all experience necessarily has it - but by what kant called "the faculty for intuiting a priori".
the original sentence by kant (A30/B46) in guyer-wood's translation is, "Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from an experience", which is fully in line with how i treated it.

>Simultaneity or succession, that are the basis for change, would not come into perception if the representation of time did not ground them a priori.
this is the next sentence in the transcendental aesthetic. the only modification you did is adding ", that are the basis for change," to adapt it to my post, which ironically makes it literally equivalent to what i said in it, yet you somehow say it as if it were asserting something new that contradicted what i said. simultaneity is what i enumerated as (1) and succession is what i enumerated as (2), and i said that these two are what time in essence is, and furthermore that they "are fundamental and necessary facts of experience".

>From that a priori intuition we can ground further apodictic principles about the relation of time
but i also said the same thing informally in a passing comment and you're just repeating it to me in kantonese

>once you die, you die

You know, that would be quite a bummer to be stuck in some "cannot proceed further" state of pain of dying.

that's why "dying horribly" is something really scary - not just because it looks horrible.

No, I'm not prepared for it at all, but I hope to be soon

Not that wizard but I think it's really unfortunate how it's become such a hot-button topic. I think it's unfortunate how both sides always make this worse. I find it an extremely interesting topic, probably the most interesting and important topic this is. It's the same with religion as a whole. I've thought about these things a lot and watched a lot of videos (and read a book or two I got recommended to me) but there has just never been something that convinced me that there is "something more". Anything to show we aren't just atoms and a conciousness destined to one day stop existing forever. This isn't because I'm "too smart for religion", "too rational" or anything stupid like that. There are plenty of smarter and more rational (if there even is such a thing) people than me who disagree completely. I am totally open to other perspectives but have never genuinely believed in one other than my own. I could live my life as a monk or priest but I'd never truly believe it to my core.
But it's something that should be discussed more.
Recently been toying around with the idea of uploading conciousness into a computer (obviously just from a philosophical standpoint). If you just clone your brain 1:1 into the computer there will simply be you and someone with your brain from your perspective. Meanwhile if you did the same and wiped you out at the same time it'd just be you dying from your perspective.
But what if you first replaced half your brain with the computer while you remained fully concious, then from your perspective you'd just be yourself but with half-computer brain. So that's still you, right?
But what if they did that simultaneously for both sides of the brain? Which one would your conciousness go into? None? What if you kept the two brain-halves alive but in a sleep-state then put them together and re-activated them, then from your own brain's initial perspective it just went to sleep and woke up like you do every day.
So conciousness and death don't exist but we simultaneously know they do because we're concious and alive in this moment. Are we already dead? Always dying? What is a stream of conciousness if it can be split and what happens if it is?
Who are you?

Imagine being this booty blasted over the internet. Get a job and commit to a creative enterprise. Your dumb ass should be able to amass 10k hours in 5 - 8 years. Then you'll have something other than stupid rants about leddit killing intenet celebrities. Oh and if you're white become a Nazi, too (srs). Get your act together, partner.

Every year that passes, I enjoy the internet and being on my computer less and less.
4chan went to shit years ago.
Most alternatives are too slow to justify checking more than once or twice a month.
YouTube's hasn't recommended me anything great in years.
The "small web" is mostly just dead, cookie-cutter sites that never have more than one or two blog posts on them.
Video games aren't as fun as they used to be, and I can hardly find the motivation to play them.

>>226338
This is also true, the overall quality of the internet has been deteriorating to the point real people are indistinguishable from bots

>>226339
Most people ARE soulless NPC biological automatons.

You only notice it now because in the past normies were a less than 0,1% minority on forums, imageboards
and websites in general. You only encountered their retardation in real life.

>>226040
I mostly use it for its intended purpose, as a limitless library to extract whatever media I fancy. Books, films, music, games - I torrent something to read/watch/listen/play every day, perks of living outside first world.

Sometimes I watch stuff on youtube or search things on google using the tag
>before:2012

Sometimes I think of something I want to research or read about and use alternative search engines such as Marginalia in order to dig out obscure blogs.

When I play games, I sometimes alt tab into the wiki or a thread on a forum discussing build paths, current quests, detailing a feature.

I also play an MMO so that's the only reason I'm on the internet for more than 2 hours a day.

It's true that female characters get more interesting as an adult (especially if you're a lonely wizard in contact with anime culture) but it's also about male characters not being interesting anymore. Most kids like superhero protagonists like Batman, Goku, Spiderman, Finn, etc., because they're powerful and admired by everybody and you want to be that guy someday. Now as an adult I just don't care about that shit or about having adventures, all I want is to see cute dumb 2d succubi doing cute dumb 2d things because all my adult brain can think of is sex. Making a likable male character is hard since if you don't give it an interesting and well-written personality only kids will like it, for female just make them cute and quirky, the flesh is weak.

all the elementary school kids on TV have soap opera dating lives. of course they are written by and for adults.

I'm glad I made it through all those years without noticing succubi. The latency period as Freud called it. It would suck to never get a break from it.

well, at this rate, I must be a chosen one, as "cute 2d doing cute 2d things" isnt interesting to me …
