Who are your heroes? My heroes are the kind-hearted souls who are passionate with their modest hobbies and live a life of eternal adolescence. Think the guy who lives for anime or the collector or the toy train enthusiast. And who are so genuine gentle and not of this world that they are seen as fossils to the outside world.

Take this gentleman for example. Imagine if all those cds were ps1 games. He could ramble for 15 minutes minimum on all the great memories he had in each, the pros, cons, takeaways and nostalgia of each. Like a dedicated coffee drinker, he knows his stuff and dedicates his existence to it. And oblivious or defiant to the social pressure of groidbreeders, he proudly wears his traditional japanese kimono with pride. These heroes in the shadows are too invested in their own beautiful little inner worlds for you to take notice of them, unless you seek them out, perhaps he visits his local comic book store twice a week or attends a humble midwestern convention once a year. Perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of him picking up a pizza at 11pm in anticipation for a long night of gaming. These small town heroes are part The Big Lebowski, but that character was a bit too tryhard and social and ungenuine. These guys don't need to put on an act to go outside, they are as genuine as can be and make no excuses over preferring a night of pizza and JRPG playthroughs than going out and peacocking and attempting to breed. I salute all these small town heroes, wizard or not, who give hope to us all and make all of our existence a little less darwinian.

Anyone dealt with this issue before? My mom wastes hours of my time asking me to review documents like these only to completely ignore the problems I highlight in them and completely puts her trust in some fucking stranger who just wants to burn the retainer she gives them while not carrying out her wishes in the slightest. She even admitted she didn't even read the thing when I asked what had been changed: she didn't know, besides having name the backup executor.

Here's an example of some of the text in this thing:
>I GIVE, DEVISE AND BEQUEATH all of my property, both real and personal, of every nature and kind, wheresoever situate, including any property over which I may have a general power of appointment, to my Trustee upon the following trusts:

>(a) To pay out of and charge to the general capital of my estate all my just debts, funeral and testamentary expenses
>(b) My Trustee shall pay out of and charge to the capital of my general estate as if the same were debts of mine incurred by me during my lifetime all succession, estate and inheritance duties or taxes whether imposed by or pursuant to the law of this or any other jurisdiction whatsoever
>(c) I DIRECT my Trustees that without imposing any trust or any binding obligation on my Trustee, it is my wish that my Trustees dispose of the remaining articles of personal, domestic and household use or ornament, including any automobiles, other vehicles, boats and accessories thereto, in accordance with any existing or future memorandum that I may leave.

>(d) I DIRECT my Trustee to divide the rest, remainder and residue of my estate into as many equal shares as may be necessary to give effect to the following:
>>i) I DIRECT my Trustee to deliver FIFTY (50) of such equal shares to my son, OLDERBRO if he shall survive me for his own use absolutely and to be held for him upon those trust terms set out herein.
>>>PROVIDED if OLDERBRO shall fail to survive me leaving issue surviving him and living at my death, such issue shall take and if more than one in equal shares per stirpes the FIFTY (50) equal shares to which my son, OLDERBRO, would have received had he survived me; and
>>ii) I DIRECT my Trustee to deliver FIFTYPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Does the thought of having an army, or being part of a giant army, give you comfort?

I've always tried to embrace this idea of standing alone and the self-sufficient notion of the man as an island. Embracing the attempts to find refuge in my mind and let the world wash over me; to stand apart from the crowd and treat them like another chaotic and undirected force of nature. Being content with my own company and living with my own worldview. However - it seems there is one unresolved issue I have.

This is not a political post, or a post about actually joining other people, but a discussion on imagination and imagined beliefs. Pretending we have an army or are part of a large machine which is probably impossible to have in real life. Coming in to contact with the increasingly popular "right-wing" culture I have felt the slight intoxication they get from the language and idea of being part of a large group, of a defined group with shared interests, and having an army behind them. I find my mind sometimes dragged to it in a form of role-play despite no interest in their actual politics. This ability to be at war with groups who are against you and to know you have a group behind you.

Despite all my work on my own tranquillity of mind I think my mental vulnerability makes it clear how much others can dominate me. I have a weak mind and others actions do have significant affects on my mind. I also grew up in a situation where my family were the victim of lies and authority figures asserting things I knew to be falsehoods, undermining much of my trust in them; as well as general bullying scenarios and experiences of being an outcast wizard. I presume I have never been able to get over the knowledge that the crowd will come for you and an individual is very weak against the crowd. The myth of the individual with power never rooted in me.

I don't think about the crowd consciously but I've noticed this imagination and role-play of having an army behind me gives me a comfort. It answers a lack I felt about this subject that was always slightly there in the background. I keep the army undefined and formless in my mind but imagine it there behind me. If I'm trying to bridge it to reality I just say I will have this army in the future, and as such it is there but I can blend imagination and reality pretty easily. The confidence that comes with having a group. Maybe I am just weak and cannot maintain this individualism and maybe this iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

If any wizard here wishes to obtain independency one day (as in moving away from your parents home and having enough steady income to live a decent life), I urge you not to enter college or uni and pursue a degree. The job market for these types of jobs is very oversaturated and extremely competetive, since the whole "go to college and become something"-meme has gone way, way overboard in mainstream society, already many years ago. It is also extremely nepotism-driven, since the jobs themselves are about 50% nonsense, so people will obviously hire friends and family, when there barely even is a job that needs to be done to begin with. For this reason it is also very social.

Assuming you have the physical health/condition to do manual labour, you should pursue a "career" in a skilled labour job that few people want to do, such as being an industrial painter or something. Even if you are a fucking genious, you should do this. The job market is destroyed, this world is completely destroyed. I shake my head when I read about wizards being in university or college, knowing what fate most of these people are in for.

I wanted to take a moment to discuss the topic of popularity. As a child I noticed that all the popular kids all followed the same trends. They used special lingo, they dressed a certain way, had common interests, they were basically walking memes. Whatever was trendy was what the popular kids were doing and that was influenced more by the culture outside of them, the artists and musicians, designers, etc all pushed the bleeding edge of culture and the quicker you were to pick up on it, the cooler you were basically. By the time the lowest of the nerds finally started doing something, all the popular kids would have moved on to the next thing. Watching this process as a child it always seemed so ridiculous. I was watching these people just appropriate portions of pop culture as parts of their own identity out of what seemed like nothing more than an instinctual desire to follow the herd. I always said fuck it and just ignored all the trends because I thought they were so stupid.

Now looking back on the matter as an adult though, I've come to see the social utility of this whole thing. I very much believe in evolutionary psychology because I believe in evolution and I started to think to myself, what purpose does this type of behavior serve? Well clearly, social networking is fucking everything in human society. The person who is best at social networking literally rules the whole damn society, others are at the elites, always networking and climbing the hierarchical structure of society. They make connections with people and leverage those connections to get the things that they want. The more people you know, the more you can make them like you, the better off you will be in life.

Now think about what it takes to be up on the latest trends. The trends are set by the elites, so to know about a trend early on indicates that you have social connections with the elites. It's kind of like an advertisement to people saying that you're a good guy to know because you know all the right people. The nerd only learns about the trend after it is dead because he is not in the right crowds and doesn't hear about it until it has trickled down the social ladder. Therefore the way we act, the things we wear, the lingo we use, all serves to differentiate social status from elites to untouchables. The trends that happen in high school never go away, they rule all of society.

Honestly this is why I hate normies, it's all just so fucking stupid. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

You've shunned succubi.
Have you shunned femininity in general?
Or does the gentle, deceptive, chaotic and mysterious naturally repel wizards?

Any wizzie here looking to get a tiny home?

Here is a great playlist of different ideas.

I'd love a tiny home on wheels to just travel all over the world.
