today just 30 min ago I almost cried watching toy story 3, that last scene made me really emotional, seeing Andy giving her precious toys to that kid before going to college and playing one more time with them like he used to when he was a kid. Seeing Woody, buzz, mr potato, rex, the whole gang… I did not cry but I really felt a lump in my throat like I haven't in years.

Claims made in absolutes
>every dep poster is a normie
>every dep poster self diagnoses

Your post is worded in a way that an idiot may fall for your sophistry but in total it does not actually say anything.

>>176118
Then discontinue posting and return to Twitter/Facebook/Instagram or whatever decrepit hive you originated from.

/dep/ is a normie board by definition. In addition, the claim that normies self-diagnosed was an entirely separate unrelated sentence unrelated to /dep/. It's also apparent you're incapable of distinguishing the meaning of "most" from "every", which doesn't particularly surprise me considering you'd prefer to manufacture strawman quotes rather than arguing the point, which you can't do. The reality is that you got caught up making baseless sweeping assertions and now you have to back them up.

>>176121
ah at last, i finally see…all these years it was the wizards who were always happy, smiling, skipping around in the sun while giggling with each other while posting on wizchan…and well…turns out actually the normies are invading us with their depression! those normies who spend all day glued to their pc, never bathing, always alone, friendless, considering suicide daily!

thank u for this revelation prophet…you should truly be the administrator of this site from this day on!

>>176122
It's illuminating to see you think being outside+light=happy, and being inside+dark=unhappy. Turns out normies can sometimes end up in reclusive environments and be unable to handle them, that doesn't make them wizards, that makes them asocially inept.

If that makes you happy then do it, it’s all personal preference I guess. I hardly ever read current events because it’s so uninteresting to me. Same for fapping, I fap a couple times a month and don’t really care much about it/doesn’t affect my life one way or another. Just gotta identify a personal bad habit and cut it out, what that habit is is probably different for everyone.

I am working on a similar thing myself. In my point of views news are nothing more than entertainment and advertising. On one hand you have the constant drama that is aimed at have people hooked at rooting their own group (Which is approved by the System anyway.) while feeling smugly superior to the other one. Whatever your biases are there is somebody who sells fluff for you. On the other hand it is basically just selling narratives. If they want to demoralize people or push trough some innovation they just start bombarding you and by extension the masses with the same messaging over and over again.

If we disregard those things, we still have the issue of "The News" are things on so huge scale we can't really do anything about them. At least you have somebody to talk to when it comes to local issues, but national and global ones? It will only just make one feel small and helpless. Ironically, people who have nothing under their control are so adamant about macro economic, social and political issues, because there is no actual stake in discussing the impossibly big topics. It is just the new religion for the powerless. You are a slave? Sure, you can have this god expy, then start harassing people for not living up to an arbitrary level of purity demanded by the social proof, which are manufactured in a top down fashion. Also, they are really boring people with nothing going on in their lives beside having opinions shaped by gamified social media points.

It is liberating for your mind when you start to focus on the issues around and in you. Because that is real, and it is there. Not to mention people who are doing their own things may suffer a bit on the talk about meaningless topics with normalfags department but will gain considerably in the being an interesting person one. If you are actually doing business or something that may depend on policy changes etc. it is a far better practice to look up the webpages of said agency instead of either waiting for a peer to peer rumor machine to talk about it or waiting for an industrialized gossip machine to actually be relevant for once.

I did that last year. Ignorance is bliss.

I think many people relate. Family is not chosen, and so we are often situated with people we would otherwise never interact with. My family is rather fucked in its composition, but essentially I feel much love towards one of my parents, while the other is a complete stranger. And I relate to being a stranger in your own home. I feel the need to hide all aspects of my life from them.
>I can't bring myself to love them.
We are on wizchan, love is something few of us can feel in any capacity, let alone towards many people.

Yes I've never been close to any person and that includes my own family

It's "weird" in that it contradicts normalcattle sentiment but it makes perfect sense, which is why I share that feeling. No one is mentally indebted to others by circumstances of their birth outside of their control. Most "attachment" to parents people claim to have is just animalistic dependence on what is (or was) a provider, or social conditioning and medial engineering playing on emotions. I'd happily cut all contact with my family if I had the means of sustaining myself, but since I'm a shut-in with no income I'm financially dependent on them. I may not be attached to them but I don't dislike them enough to become voluntarily homeless.

He said that he wasn't paying attention to his backpack and someone snatched it while his back was turned.

>>175905
I am. I try to give him encouraging comments every once in a while.

Moving day. Just finishing some music downloads and looking for the gremlin who stole my other thermal glove and then I'm gonzo. Got a garage to sleep in for a few nights before my "I found another place to live" lie comes in to effect and then it's camping in wooded areas for the forseeable future.

>>175991
>>175905
is there a way to get in touch with this guy besides social media? twitter and instagram require phone numbers no i think, i live in the same city and would like to help him.

>>176102
Twitter doesn't require a phone number anymore, at least not in North America. When prompted for a number enter some gibberish, it will send a code and after asking for a resend it will let you just use an email instead. I signed up this way last week

>>176072
I think I like this place the most

Yeah, I even used to live in the north part of sweden, piteå. There shouldn't be any problem finding a cabin/house in the north parts at all, both of these looks exactly as i'm looking for. Yet, as much as its a dream to vanish from society it's a hard step to take, since i've a few loans on my name..

I've about 250 000 kr saved up atm, but its not nearly enough to be self sufficient. Are you thinking of doing a total act of disappearing or are you planning to keep a job?

>>176074
With 250 000 saved up you're not far away from being able to afford a smaller cabin. After you have the cabin you probably wont have a lot of expenses. How much do you need/want to live? And no, I wont do a full disappear. I were a NEET for a while before getting a job and made enough from doing surveys and stuff for an hour to feed myself (its like 50-60kr an hour)

>>176066
Just make sure you make tree planting a part of your lifestyle man, that's all I'm gonna say.
Burning wood is the easiest way out of all problems, especially when you're surrounded by forest. But one day those trees will be gone, because it takes many of them to get one person through a single winter. And they take a long, long time to grow. And when the trees die off the wildlife dies off too.
Make sure you plant or you'll end up in a barren wasteland like Eastern Europe.

Easier said than done when you spend all day every day worrying about your survival, but do not disregard.

Seconding this.

>>158798
I just do some bodyweight exercises every second day (three sets of one push, pull, leg and core exercise each) and cardio on some of the off days. There's a roster of exercises I cycle through and I try to learn some calisthenics skills every once in a while. I don't enjoy working out so I keep the workouts relatively short, usually around 30-45 minutes. That's the only way that'll keep me from skipping constantly. Stretching still is a fucking pain in the ass though.

>Finally, your point about estrogen increasing with testosterone is wrong, the production of estrogen works different to testosterone (as in, they both need different things to produce), having high test wont mean your estrogen will be high as they arent related.
Not that wiz but testosterone is converted into estrogen by aromatase, hence why using steroids can result in gyno. If you have excess of any hormone your body will attempt to regulate it, either metabolically or through production of inhibiting hormones.

>>175928
regulate deez nuts actually cool and intardesting stem post thx wizzie

Stay fit.

'Cause you never know.

Comfort leads to stagnation.

>>173043
The tragedy of modernity.

>>173040
fits this thread really, ironic how people here especially seem not motivated to do anything anymore, yet some are enough to go out of their way to shit on anything popular

thankfully i never really had that big of a problem with stagnation, i can watch shows or play games i really like again and again and find something new every time, sometimes i rewatch a show after years and understand it completely different, after i finish something and found it really good i try to consume everything there is about that before moving on to the next thing, also my taste evolves, like i am starting to get interested in genres i have not cared about for many years before.
maybe it has something to do with me feeling pretty hopeless for all my childhood and youth, so whenever i had the chance to get my hands on some anime or games i really could appreciate them, but that's just how it was and still is for me personally.

agree with others opinions on youtube etc., i try to limit my exposure to scrolling through imageboards, reddit, memes, even reading through youtube-comments to a minimum. Just take playing mobilegames, where they want you to come back to work for them daily and click through all the shit to get your instant presents like gacchas. I think that could really fuck with your short-term-attention-span, but younger people will feel that way more in the future maybe, wonder how that will turn out.

>>173049
That's the hard balance of social media. If you wanna find new things, sometimes you have to engage in it a little. But its very easy to get caught up in whatever petty and pointless culture wars people are constantly waging.
Some call that "discourse brain" and I've definitely struggled to move out of it. I deleted all my accounts and have installed certain apps to hide comment sections.
Makes it easier to actually do what I set out to look for.

My tastes have absolutely stagnated. I haven't listened to any new music in the past 3 or 4 years. I don't watch new anime only old ones that I have seen a million times, same with manga, and I don't play games at all. I have moved one to some more IRL hobbies but even those seem to not have truly taken hold yet. I'm like a crab whose in the middle of switching his shell.

I think what bothers me about it all is that I cannot tell if it's because I'm growing old or if because everything is so shit these days. I guess it doesn't matter, the effect is the same, I'm a jaded person it seems.

thinking about putting all my wizbucks into VT or VTWAX wdyt about this wizzies

>>176006
well there are various debates on the best way to passively invest. but they all amount to the same in the big picture. yeah if you're going to invest your $$$ anywhere, its the simplest and easiest thing to do. If you go down, you take the whole world with you, and probably comfy retirement was out anyway.

It is a get rich slow scheme. So if you're not in a comfortable situation, for your $$$ to just sit 40 years, and then live off that in retirement, its kinda a waste of time.

>>176020
thanks wiz. i will think about your words carefully. cheers.

i think by the time any of use are retirement age the world will be unrecognizably changed

>>176036
This. Boomers are the only generation who were guaranteed any kind of stable social safety net.

I wanted to post this too, this song pretty much encapsulates my entire childhood, every time I hear it I become 9 again for 4 minutes, and then I end up crying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U3sP-KbrGk

- discovered online gaming
- discovered manga/anime/light novels
- first MMORPG

- quit, got fired, or otherwise stopped working
- experienced NEETdom
- experienced a lucid dream
- found online remote work
- discovered wizardchan
- received your first NEETbux

you are missing the point. online school is stressful as hell and way harder to work up the will to do than in person school. i hate school, but if i am forced to do it i would rather do it in person

>>176040
they are both stressful in different ways. the physical presence and logistics involved with going to school, having to interact with other people, etc are more stressful than doing a class online. at least when i did an online course years ago. nowadays im not sure online classes would be tolerable if they force you into using a webcam and shit

>>176040
NO you are just a fresh wizkid that is normal you probably listened to lil peep or something and decided you are depressed and found wizchan straight after.
