I noticed that normies dont like to talk about some topics like conspiracy theories like NWO UFOS 9/11 its like their brain reject every thing that is controversial

Are ugly people the most opressed group in the world? No one chose to be ugly yet people will treat you like shit. They can be the butt of a joke in every media from movies to comedy and no one will bat an eye yet when it’s about something such as obesity or race people get riled up. Why is this? Do people just enjoy making fun of anyone other than them because it makes them feel better in comparison? Are they really that incompassionate?
Look at this fucking newspaper I found in the store. It translates roughly to “Your brain is coded to hate the ugly. New science shows that evolution has made us hate some faces - and rightly so”.

Were you born unattractive or are you just unattractive because of lack of effort?

I realized recently that my base body is actually apparently attractive. I am 6" and have broad shoulders and a normal looking face.

I have really bad posture, no effort self-haircut, oversized t-shirt + jeans, low muscle, outdated glasses, ec. that makes me ugly.

I don't really care enough to try to be attractive at this point, but it's just something I never really thought about. I guess I should consider myself lucky. I'm curious about others wizards. Are you genetically unattractive?

I thought I'd start up a thread about something that probably a good amount of Wizards suffer from in life.
More specifically I wanted to talk about the so-called "freeze" response one can exhibit during a dangerous situation (may it be a verbal confrontation or an on-coming physical one).
What are your experiences with it and why do you think it established itself in your system and how did it affect your life so far?

Excuse me if my grammar may be lacking or any typos by the way.

I'm facing a dilemma whether to live an easy, comfortable life or a harder, perhaps more worthwhile one. I understand that I'm privileged to even be faced with such a problem and most people on this site have it worse than me. If you're in a bad situation and struggling to make ends meet this post may be annoying to you, you have been warned.

I remember when I was at university and was struggling socially so bad. All I wanted is to stay home, with my cats, with a nice garden, read books, watch TV, sit in the garden, go cycling. I can have that now. I could rent a house in the suburbs or in the countryside. I could have a comfy life, without any conflicts, internal or external. Without any aggressive, violent people bothering me. I envision myself living life on easy mode: masturbating every day, drinking milk with cocoa, baking cookies, playing with cats I would adopt, playing video games, reading books, doing some work whenever I feel like it. It's a life I always dreamed of as a child - I was forced to train a sport competitively, go on camps where I suffered. I just wanted something "easy" and "nice".
I spend very little money and have gained a good reputation as a programmer + have made some programs that give me passive income + made some investments. That's why I would be able to have this. I also understand that I'm having a better life than most throughout human history.

There is beauty in struggling though, in overcoming your childhood, your fucked-up upbringing, there is beauty to be found in a chilly morning walk at 4AM when everyone's asleep and you are exploring the forest or meadow (pic related).
I know I was not allowed to develop fully by my domineering, perverse, depressed mother. And I've been struggling to psychologically get out of her influence, and I have had some successes. I moved out of my parents' house (using money from another family member) and don't stay in touch with them, and my personality changed over time - I'm not so afraid of people anymore.
I searched for a therapist, went to 6 in the last 3 years and recently found one who's really smart and actually cares. I have little relation to myself, little knowledge of how I feel, what I want and need. I have always had to ignore my feelings, my pain. The other kids in school were impressed that when they did something to me like twisting my arms, I didn't show any pain.

What is your experience with using stimulants for productivity? I mean proper stims like amphetamine, methylphenidate, other ADHD meds, etc. While I can't get these drugs easily I can order research chemical stimulants that are chemically similar to these drugs, for example the image is a picture of 2-FMA, which reddit says is better than Adderall for productivity. I've never used RCs though, I only used Adderall in high school briefly but my psychiatrist stopped prescribing it after I overdosed on heroin (long story, clean now). Anyways, what are your experiences with stimulants for productivity and focus?

What was your school life like? Was it hell? I came close to dropping out like four times.

In a few months, i get access to a trust fund with around £700 in it.
Does anyone have any advice on what Cool or useful things i should buy or invest in?

How do wizards feel about animals?
Seems the general sentiment is closer towards hating them and think it's "normie" or "reddit-tier" to like them.

Any advice from wizards who have passed the trial? Did you do or feel anything different months before turning 30? Did you celebrate? What magic powers did you acquire in the end? Has anything changed for you since turning 30?

It suddenly occured to me that I'll actually be joining your ranks this year. I had almost forgotten about it. Now I'm a little stumped. I'm not sure if it should feel like a big thing or not.
