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

Honestly? If you haven't by now, go to a few masses and see. Don't worry about the rules just yet.
Seeking God is the important part, and if you find Him there, you won't really have much of a choice but to look into the rest.
Try an Orthodox church too though before you dismiss the whole thing though if you find nothing.
I've never found much life in a Roman Catholic mass myself, just bits and pieces almost in spite of the rest of it, but I wouldn't have known that without going. But He speaks to people differently.

The rules are a complex topic. It's an attempt to use power/authority to force people to do things that are "good" for them by threatening punishment. But that defeats the purpose IMO. They are only good if you do them out of love of Christ and all the little christs around (those neighbors you're supposed to love as much as yourself), not out of fear of punishment.

I'm not sure how a Roman Catholic who is truly seeking Christ can internalize that. I guess if I could I would be one.

>>226011
For the Orthodox, priests are usually married because practically speaking the priests are the closest to the world and need to guide the laity through it. You're going to be a lot better at giving advice about rebellious kids or marriage problems or whatever if you've gone through that yourself.
Monks can also be priests though, and they would be unmarried. And bishops are traditionally picked from monks. So it's really only the parish priests and laity who deal with marriage.

The Patriarch of Moscow does seem to be pretty fucked up lately.
But that doesn't really speak to the Orthodox church as a whole unless you're suggesting that the Patriarchs of Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople are all Russian plants somehow.

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}?

Since it's a HUNCH, I have to elaborate on the pieces of data I have

1. "Headhunting" agencies that hunt for proper workforce are a thing in the corporate world.
2. Recruting agencies also.
3. Agencies get $$$, big bucks, for finding a "right person" to fill an actual opening.
4. Corporate latter dream job has a problem sometimes: should a top notch clerk get promoted, the department loses the top notch clerk (minus productivity) and they need time to adjust for the new role.
5. The world of job applications has at least 2 foxy moves that ruin hones job search:

Uno. HRs are told to look for real cool people, but they don't really hire. The corpo suits want to pretend they're hiring new workforce *to trick investors into investing for implied growth*

Dos. A straight up robbery by the middle management. There is a project. They require X people. They hire X - 1, "iks minus one" heads, tell every applicant for the seat number X "you're not good enough, you lack some soft skillz that are detrimential"… or some other excuse… and then, the middle managers tell both the higher-ups aA D the guys at the project things are looking grim: there are little to no good people available so you should settle for an unpaid intern to do routine stuff. Then, the middle management demands extra $$$ for "managing" the problem and saving $$$ in salaries not paid in process.

Even remote jobs like park ranger require talking to people (and the most annoying rule breaking ones at that).

I just punch in, do my 8 hours, brush off the occasional dingus that tries to "break me out of my shell" - drag me out to bars or game night… pushy people drive me nuts. Then I go home to my quiet ass house and avoid the neighbors - life's pretty ok that way.

I don't like the guy as a person, but Starlink beats any other form of internet connection when you're far from cities and only have 2g/3g towers that may or may not work intermittently.

With Starlink you get 100-200mb/s in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with zero cell towers anywhere, so it's really a miracle in a way.
But it doesn't come super cheap, it's 50 bucks a month, and the modem is 175 bucks but that lasts for decades.

In lieu of this, I bump this thread with my realization.

Apparently, when they hurt wizard's feelings by pusing "something something *must be LATENT*" meme, it was a subtle reference to the Two Wolves adage.

The adage, basically, says:

There are two "wolves" in you
THe white one is for [everything good]
The blak one is for [everything bad]
- And which one is winning?
- [That's the best part] The one you feed,, this one!

In this sense, CERTAIN THINGS are - according to this meme from 1990s/2000s boundary of millenia - better to "not be fed" (which implies ignoring them)


Nowadays, however, this meme is not relevant, so whatever.

Never keep resisting what threatens you, it will cause fatigue. Such things must be dealt with extreme reactions and put down to rest with audacity from the very first moment.

Fasting itself is better than any purging diet, for autophagy is what renews tissue.

So, I'm a 31 years old NEET loser, never had a succubus in my life, last job I got was 5 years ago, it feels a complete utterly loser, people at my age have a nice salary, a succubus, house and whatever, in some sense my life if ok, but sometimes the feeling of being a loser is very strong, the sense I'm in the wrong, it makes me feel pretty bad. How can I achieve peace with my lot on life? I just want a sense of peace and instead of sadness and regret, does this feeling goes way?

Yes, I agree with you. I've simply given up. Honestly, I have an elderly mother who feeds me and works for a living wage in my third-world country. When she dies, I'll be homeless or sent to an insane asylum (but I'll hang myself). I've already resigned myself to this. I spent a long time looking for work, trying to "get a couple of things done a day" or just somehow cope with life. But I realized that fighting is pointless; you can't defeat a system that's rigged against you (you can suffer from hunger and the like, it doesn't care, just like the normies do). I live in a small town and have a bad work history (I worked at the lowest levels when I was younger), but now, due to my health, I can't even do that (I haven't worked for over 3 years, and in fact, I've only worked for 2 years my entire adult life, since I'm 28). Plus, I live in an Eastern European country where you only need $500 a month to survive. My only chance is a $250 job at best. So why change anything? It's time to just accept that we're all going to die.

But I heard a good joke about a guy who's going to be beheaded tomorrow, and he decides to play sports in his cell. When asked "why?" he replies that he just likes sports. I realized the same thing about myself. I'll just spend the time I have free time enjoying myself. I don't have money for hobbies, so I'll just do what I have time for. And I advise everyone to do what they enjoy, because we're all going to die anyway. We're all going to die. We just have to accept that we're losers.

Hi I'm a wizard with agoraphobia, semi neet, I just study English.
Psychology don't help me, parents are sick of me, I'm not depressed because I learned to deal with this thanks to Christianity.
I have an strong regression and I am very exhaust.
I thinking in use mental health drugs, but the problem is I'm very addictive person, I don't want any addiction in my life. I hate psychology, i don't have any another psychological problem, just agoraphobia.
I can accept all bad things and manage it, but agoraphobia is hard.
I really don't know what to do. I'm using porn for deal with this, i know is a sin but…
I'm not addicted to porn, I just want to beat agoraphobia.
Help Wizards, psychologist don't help me.

1) Unless you are a hardcore must-be-isolated schizo, they will diagnose you with anything but a proper "depression" diagnosis
