How do I get rid of my desire to have children and to continue my lineage?

I’ve been able to eliminate my desire for succubi and stop fantasizing about romantic relationships but I still have a desire to be a father and at times daydream about having children to raise and play with.

I feel once I rid myself of this want I can truly be content with my existence as a solitary invisible man in this decaying world.

20, 10 and even 5 years ago being called a virgin was seen as an insult by normies. Same could be said about being called "a crab", yet more and more often we see people who have regular sex, gfs and social lives say "they are basically crabs". Is it for attention? Is it some misguided idea that crabism is a mindset? Is it to make yourself feel "superior" to other normies? Same thing have happened with nerds: what used to be a simple demographic, later became a label to proudly asign to yourself (Oh, I'm such a nerd, I just love watching mainstream movies like Star Wars!).

Is there a way to stop it, or just every term loses it's meaning after 5 or 10 years these days?

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.

> 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.

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.

Do you think there's a difference between wizards who are willingly wizards, and those who did not truly choose the practice, the lifestyle, and the career?

What sort(s) of magic do the two types of wizards possess?

I feel the perfectly willing wizards have the better spells and magic, and are far more powerful, capable, intelligent, et cetera.

I believe there is a real correlation between what a wizard consists of and actual wizardry.

Are you one to study magic?
Do you know about magic?
Do you use magic?

Magic is the general study of any and all actual knowledge, and its application.
All arts and sciences might count as magic.

But, I do mean magic, too, as you probably understood the term.

Magic is used to refer to just about anything in this post.
Not just literal magic, but everything might be literal magic.

I'm at least two types of wizard, personally.

Wizards, I'm really uncertain about my situation right now and would like your advice, since this is a matter that I think only you would be able to fully appreciate.

I was a NEET and borderline hikki for about 8 years during my mid-20s. I was very content during that time, because the NEET lifestyle actually suits me very much: I'm extremely introverted and don't crave many material possessions. Because of that, I never sought the social stimulation or the monetary compensation of work.

However, my situation changed and I had to find a job, as my prior source of minimal income disappeared.

I was very fortunate to find a remote job that pays decently, even though I only have a HS degree. I've been in that job for over 5 years now. Due to my aforementioned frugal lifestyle, I was able to save enough money that I think will last me over a decade.

With this in mind, my question is this. My greatest wish right now is to resign from this job and return to being a NEET. It's a question that bothers me every day. However, I fear that this job is sort of a unique opportunity, and that I won't be able to find anything similar, once I run out of money. I even considered doing things like day trading so I can extend the duration of my savings.

What would you do in a scenario like this? Keep your somewhat comfy WFH job or just return to NEEtdom?

Should I take the Catholic pill?

They seem to genuinely respect Wizards and have a tradition of hermits. Their priests are a celibate ruling class.

I didn't grow up around Christians but it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.

I don't get all the rules they have though. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church, each according to his or her own ability.

I'm overwhelmed. I get why people just go with the DIY protestant approach but it seems like if the Catholics are one of the original churches Jesus said was legit then it's a safer bet.

Look I don't get how there can be a miracle like resurrection either and frankly all the Abrahamic religious miracles seem really underwhelming compared to the wild stories of Hindu gods. But so many people believe in Christianity from a Pascal's wager perspective it seems like I might as well consider it.

At least it'll make me feel like I'm less LARPing some fantasy wizard and instead I'll seem like a faithful religious hermit which gets more respect points

Today is my 30th birthday. I've been on this site since 2013/2014 until I left in 2023. I feel this chapter has been closed.

I have a hunch there are companies that specialize on finding shy shut-in, *chan.org tier IT dudes that are good enough to do the computer stuff - and demand employeRs to do this or that set of rules.


See, employeRs also suffer from problems when they cannot actually fill a position, so they pay $$$ to a hiring company. A company that finds guys of this or that profile for them.

Corpo problems tend to go from bad to even worse when a bucko of a top manager demands to bring him some tidy, tie-wearing manager and never gets any. So an average top manager *has* to be told by such a hiring agency to "settle" for a neckbeard who does neckbeard tier life yet turns out to be tested with "puter stuff" proficiency.


If you can't get an interview for a cool position - maybe that's because you don't apply for a job in IT yourself in y2k+{25, …, 112}?
