TL;DR AI got several points for me and I finally felt that the future is here! pleasant shiver


Quoting:


''The question "aren't you lonely" is considered rude because it implies loneliness is a negative state to be avoided, when some people are content being alone, and it can feel like a judgment on the person's social life. It also ignores the important difference between being "alone" (physically by oneself) and being "lonely" (feeling isolated emotionally). The question assumes a lack of social interaction is undesirable, which can be an uncomfortable and presumptuous assumption to make about another person.
It's an assumption of negative feelings: The question assumes loneliness is a universally undesirable state. However, many people are happy and fulfilled when they are alone, finding it to be a valuable time for rest, self-reflection, and connection with their "true self".
It ignores the difference between alone and lonely: There is a significant difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Being alone is a physical state, while loneliness is an emotional response. The question conflates the two, failing to acknowledge that a person can be physically alone but not emotionally lonely.''
''It can be a judgment on one's social life: Asking "aren't you lonely" can feel like a direct criticism of a person's social choices or life circumstances, whether they are single, have a smaller group of friends, or simply choose to spend more time alone. It implies their social life is lacking and that they should feel sad about it.
It overlooks the quality of relationships: The question focuses on the quantity of social interaction rather than the quality. A person may have many friends but still feel lonely, or have very few friends but have deep, meaningful connections.''
It is often perceived as a judgment on life choices: The question is particularly pointed when it comes to lifestyle choices like being single. Many people prefer to be single than to be in a relationship that is unhealthy or unfulfilling.

Hey I hate to be the guy who posts this kind of thing but I truly don't know where else to ask (tried 4chan, but I think most people won't care) I feel lost in life. I am undisciplined and rarely get things done. Most of my time I spend in my head, pondering over matters I cannot solve, yet failing to switch topics or get my head out of a thinking spiral. Maybe I lack the will to do so. I went over the self-help and psychology slop, but it all feels like a sham, a fad constantly trying to sell me more crap (just buy my book bro, just try my online course, just follow these ridiculous rules I made up). Perhaps I am foolish to think a book or a single piece of advice will help me, but I want to learn how to be a simpler man, a man of action, of less thought. Any literature or words of wisdom on the matter?

How's aging going on for fellow wizards?
Do you feel more tired, slow, fatigued, depressed?
What are some changes you've noticed besides the physical, changes in your lifestyle or way of thinking?

What do you anons think of this image/chart? I took it seriously for like a year because I'm insane

> According to Paul Dini, this was meant to be the first prime time episode. "Fox was going to run it. Then a Fox executive saw it and said 'What the hell is this? Batman's not in this episode. He's only in it at the end? The whole episode is two succubi running around in their underwear. There's no boy appeal here.' I said, 'Well maybe not any boys you know.' They refused to run it in prime time. Their idea of a perfect [episode] is 'I Am the Night.' That meets their criteria. It's dark and grim, with more of an adult feel and Robin was in it."

> Forget boys, are they even human? Are they even mammals? The only explanation for his is how they are lizard people.

> No, Lizard people also have sex. My guess is they’re some sort of plant creature that reproduces by budding.

> That or Warhammer Orks.

Network exec is absolutely right. Boys don't want to see some succubus power, thelma and louise, sisterhood adventure instead of Batman. Even if they do look sexy. If 7 year old boys liked that so much they could just watch MTV.

It's like because adult men like succubi, they can't even conceive there was an age, where succubi were lame and boring. Where the succubus character and episodes was lame.

They think boys favorite power ranger is the Pink Ranger.

It’s easy to assume that more money, more stuff, and more status will make us happier. That’s what we’re sold every day—on social media, in ads, in the way we talk about success But is it actually true?

I’ve seen videos of small villages in Africa where people live with almost nothing—no Wi-Fi, no fancy houses, no designer anything. And yet they laugh. They sing. They dance in the streets. They seem genuinely joyful. Not because they have everything, but maybe because they don’t Then I look around at places like California, where people live in luxury condos, drive $200k cars, and eat at places that cost more than some families make in a week. And still, depression and anxiety are everywhere. Even some of the richest, most famous people in the world—people we think have it all—end up feeling so empty that they take their own lives So what’s going on? Why do people with "nothing" seem happy, and people with "everything" feel lost?
Maybe happiness isn’t about what you have Maybe it’s about how connected you are—to other people, to yourself, to the moment you’re in Maybe we’ve just been chasing the wrong things Just something I’ve been thinking about. Curious what you think, too.

I happen to enjoy old music (so old it's "public domain").

Anyone else with me?

PROS:

* made for EITHER wealthy thinking people (classical music) or expresses emotions, full of effort (light music, folk music)
* can be enjoyed without ads
* IMPLIES being enjoyed without ads

even Dr. NakaMaths (e.g. a certain inventor of diskettes, Dr. Nakamatsu) enjoyed "meditating" by blasting full 1hr+ Beethoven No. 5

CONS: so posh normies will think "you're trying to act better than you are" whatever the silly head tried to convey.

Im doing bad financially and dont have much to eat this month and i was nervous for days. But one unexpected thing i noticed since i started eating less is that started to feel surprising more calm, like LOT more. I never noticed how full of energy i was because of food and that much energy from food was causing me to have more energy than i needed and thus becoming more stressed.

life IS a fucking funny joke

Some news portals were talking about employing ex-convicts by providing shelter, food, a job and other opportunities, while many people my age have difficulties finding a job at McDonald's or any other shitty job to start their career (I'm 22 years old), dealing with mental health issues and so on, because we are treated as lazy even when no one wants to lend a hand.

I figured I've already experienced everything junk food, chocolates, cakes and ice creams can offer as an experience.
They no longer give me dopamine, just bloating and an overall sense of unwellness & brain fog.

Life is very short and I'd like to be in shape even if just once during my existence. So far I lost 12 pounds, which is an okay start but not great.

I aim to work out 3 times a week, and on the 4 other days light cardio such as walking for an hour.

Diet has been redesigned to involve a lot of lean meat, fresh produce, eggs, walnuts and water instead of sodas.
If I crave something sweet, it's gonna be a banana or berries, maybe a kiwi or orange.

What do you think? Have you tried to live healthier or are you already healthy?
So far I haven't lost motivation but it's only been 6 months. I find it has had a moderately positive effect on my depression too. If I can pull it off I'll keep the rhythm up for the rest of my life.
