/wiz/ - Wizardry

Perhaps the fault occurs at night as condensation accumulates in the wire loom, closing the circuit until the heat from the short opens it again. Generally the approach of magicians is to accept all incidents as they are reported, so a Wizard wouldn't doubt what your coworker has documented. If it's part of series of related incidents, then it may require a magical intervention to resolve

I've experienced a few paranormal things in my lifetime.
One case in specific is so surreal that it would be hard to describe without sounding like I was making stuff up.
There's been other cases of paranormal events in my life apart from that one, which probably affected me the most because up until that point, there were things that were happening to myself but could be attributed to my own self affecting these things, but after that incident I've come to realize that some of these things that were happening to me were actually real and not some form of delusion or whatever.
It's gotten to a point where I've started doubting my own self and reality as a whole, some of the things that were happening throughout my life lead me to question reality and if I am being manipulated in some way to maybe think that I'm more special than I really am, but given that one incident that happened to me, it seems more likely than not that I might really be special in some way.
I mean, there's been stuff that happened in my life that makes absolutely no sense if you think about it logically.
I've been in situations where I've talked about stuff sometimes and used words that I quite literally did not even know the definition of, and still used the word correctly despite that. Then afterwards I looked up the definition and it was correct, quite literally making use of information that I not only did not have, but even made use of it correctly.
One or two things could have been ignored, but there's just been a completely vast series of incidents throughout my entire life that had paranormal implications that cannot be explained in any reasonable way that it just really affects me more than it probably should.
I've even been in contact with the state after being put in a psych ward momentarily, and I've been accused of paranormal things by the fucking state itself. Imagine my situation, I consider myself unwell, I look for help and I get accused of things that made me feel even less normal than when I came in.
I'm not going to go into specifics about that one incident which changed my entire outlook on life, but I can tell you that paranormal events in this world are very real, and the fact that aliens likely exist from that experience. No, I have not seen an alien, but the thing that took place, in my mind could only have been possible through technology so advanced that only an alien could have been responsible.

Can you share more details?

>>199574
Even if you think that they are hard to believe/not credible, it's still interesting

i'm not going to get used to them. know of any better sites? I don't want to use a site where the moderation has open contempt for crabls

>>199434
Only other places similar to this that I know of are neet and tfw.

>>199434
dude, come to thatfeelwhen.net, lot more chill place. its like a sister site but without the gaslighting

>>199436
care to elaborate on the gaslighting. the mods here seem pretty toxic based on the rules/ behavior I have seen so far.

Reminder that you can say literally anything about the staff in /meta/. Not every new /wiz/ thread has to turn in to a discussion about the mod's human organ harvesting ring. I'll be extending ban times for the users who frequently derail threads with complaints against us.

OP has stated he doesn't intend to continue using Wizchan due to our policy on admitting to being a crab. He can challenge this rule in /meta/ if he wishes.

You're just invoking the butterfly effect to excuse any action or inaction you find convenient.

>>198548
of course the ethical costs of inaction are conveniently not evaluated

>>198545
>We then suggest what we believe is the most promising response: to accept, in practice, a highly demanding morality of beneficence with a long-term focus
Hmmm

It's pretty obvious from a lot of the answers on here that most you guys don't have any real life experience and giving advice to OP out of ur ass or what you've read on the internet. Like this guy >>197979 suggesting you to work for a startup. Startups are extremely competitive… this normalfag guy I know who's not even mentally ill or anything, has been fired out of 3 startups he was working for.

Also stop shilling the trades meme as well, 98% of the trades won't get you a job, It's only the really complicated trades like electricians, HVAC that get hired, others have a difficulty finding a job without moving to bumfuck nowhere.

I suggest to you OP to do whatever you feel like is least stressful, that pays OK amount of money.

>>198742
>real life experience
Got me laughing somehow.

>>198743
I agree i started my post with a little anomosity cuz i was pissed at the time but what exactly did i say wrong lol

>>198742
>98% of the trades won't get you a job
maybe it depends on the country you live on? here in east europe HVAC isn't really the best job choice, but there is a lot of professions who are well paid considering low effort you need to get the school done
not only electricians but also everything connected to building houses like hydraulics, builder etc., car mechanic, window cleaner in high buildings, workers operating heavy machines like crane and truck drivers

>>198742
Depends what you mean by a "job." If the goal is just to make some cash to scrape by with, there's a lot of opportunity to work under the table as a hired hand in the US in the right kind of place because your main competition is drug addicts and mexican day laborers. There's your foot in the door if you really want to work on getting whatever official qualifications you might need for a real job, all while you learn more doing the real thing vs. at a trade school.

Yes, I'm speaking from experience. Although I eventually I landed a desk job again doing what my resume says I'm good at.

This is what I fear for myself, I know I have to do STEM if I ever want any chance of a tolerable life but I'm certain now that I'm too low IQ for that shit. I'm running out of time and I don't know what path to go down. How old are you now? Did you ever get a degree yourself?

Drop out and get a piss easy job.

You aren't going to retire anyways with a degree, so why not drop out and get an easy job where you can just slack off all day?

I started college (far from home) 7 years ago, barely passed anything because of a mix of depression and dumb mindset…abused pot and porn… enrolled again this year (local college) and i'm doing pretty good… while i did manage to better myself, it was still hard "goin out".. but i pushed through.. what made it easier is being home and just not fiving a fuck..yes they laugh at my sperg but i dont care, i showed up again and again and i'm killin it… I was the underdog, but these fuckers realized who dey messing with… i have this wierd confused look and posture and opinions were formed as such that was not to my benefit (teachers explaining 50iq stuff and me having questions but not engaging ^, whatever i can find what i need on the net or in books)… I wonder why i do that.. nontheless, laughs have diminnished and inquiries have been made *aon, this, anon that* i still hold (a grudge?) in that i dont socialize, but who gives a fuck… it is still mostly my timidness… I dunno…what i want from this is the damn paper and wfh.. could go into industry (mechatronics), but my plan is to build/fix machines at home…
Shed light not blood..(huh?). I hope i can live up to the standards i hold dearly/have acquired and refine them and consequently myself into a.. you know what… Fuck this goddamn world, its me +mom,grandma and my chickens who give me the most insight, other birds i like also, but rarely see now due to winter… Bird songs i love very much, miss them…
Dont let it bother you, i even stopped going out for a smoke in between classes..just limit unpleasenteries, and do some work…its easier to learn when i'm there, so i look for books that pertain to that what was the subject of the previous class to make it more interesting and lo n behold, shit sticks… You r n ambivalent being and as such have many interests.. sharpen the tool from both sides (do they say that?).. and know the truth (fellow?) wiz… I hate it all, and love the naivety and seriousness and the hide n seek of my perception/understanding

Have read your post to the end. Feels like an achievement.

That depends on a variety of different things.
I don't know you, so I can't give a very specific advice for how you should decide to live your life from now on and forward. So with that, I am going to use my own self as an example, and hope you have some of the same feelings that I might have.
I have no education, I have never worked a job for very long in my life, basically I've spent my life so far being a NEET and an outcast without a social network.
I spend a lot of time imagining myself in different situations that may happen to me in life if I take the correct decisions and actually spend time working on it. There's first the question of whether putting effort into doing these things, so you can fit into a mold in which you are able to take part in society, is actually worth doing. For you to be able to decide this, I would first try and ask myself one thing; am I able to be happy? Take everything and put them aside, is your very self able to find happiness? Do you stumble upon it when you live your life right now? And if you do stumble upon it, then how often? If you find yourself enjoying your life and have no problems with reaching a state of happiness, then I would recommend you to try and apply yourself, as the benefits of doing so could pay off. If you are like me, however, and you have a difficult time being happy on your own, then using myself as an example, I would try to figure things out differently, because putting effort into fitting in could make me even more miserable than I am right now. I've spent time with a mentality where I think to myself: Oohh, if only I had THAT, then I would be happy, if only I did THAT, then life would be worth living and the older I get, the more I realize that it's not that simple. I've been in possession of a small sum of money before, and I've been thinking to myself about how I spent that money on things that were expensive, they lost their appeal completely not long after. Part of the appeal to certain things in life, is the very concept that they are unreachable. As soon as you reach them, then many times they can lose their appeal. There's no one or two things to make someone happy, it's a combination of a lot of different things, some of which include the individual itself. I imagine things in my head, reaching certain positions in life, imagining that if I did, I would finally be happy. But what would really shatter everything would be if I achieved those things and thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Do you have any recommendations on how to learn correct investing strategies? Whenever I look at the stock market, crypto, or any other type of investing it just seems like gambling. I just can't make heads or tails of it and if you can make a living off it I would be really intrested in how you learned.

>>199112
he's trolling. investment requires years spend studying and observing market. you need experience, knowledge and intuition. and even with this all no one grants you a nofail go. it's a very thin ice, you better find something more solid

>>199113
I'm not that guy, but I've made a pretty penny investing in crypto (ponzi schemes).

One more 10x and I'm basically set for life and I can retire. If crypto recovers in 2-5 years and the prices shoot up again, then I will have made enough money to put into dividend paying stocks and retire for the rest of my life.

I'm taking a risk, but so what? I'd rather gamble and have a shot at retiring and then living the best live possible, than saving the meager money I do save from my job, which would never let me retire on it's own.

Basically, if you aren't investing your money, you will stay poor forever.

>>199112
You don't have to read 1 investment book to learn to invest.

All you have to do is invest while stocks and markets are at all time lows, then wait until they gain significantly in a frenzied mania.

You can gauge market sentiment pretty easily through news, various forums and looking at the charts and see if they have rallied significantly.

Never invest in a stock or crypto that has recently rallied because by that point, you are too late. Always invest while the market is dead, in a cold bear market, when everything is basically down extreme levels.

You also need to know when to sell. If a crypto asset or stock goes 5-10-20x in a short amount of time, that is the time to sell. Never accumulate in a frenzied over bought market.

Crypto is pretty dead right now, which is a prime time to do you research on the cryptos you like and start putting in some money. You don't need to catch the absolute bottom, but you do want to get as close to the bottom as possible and I believe the crypto market is currently close to the bottom right now.

Beware of scams in this space though and ponzi schemes because there are a lot of them. Even though something might be a ponzi scheme doesn't mean that it can't make you money.

>>199112
It's straight up gambling unless you put your money in relatively stable dividend paying stocks and never touch it

no shit but isolation allergy has no evidence

>>199059
someone said isolation doesnt have negative effects on a some people. statistics does work here

A lot of zoomers are victims of circumstance and are virgins by chance, they mistake this in their mind as virgins by choice, and given the current climate of crabs being school shooters, forced to label their confused zoomer brains as volcels. They don't carry any trauma,mentall illness, or hate for society that shunned them like oldcels and truecels because, like mentioned earlier, they are just victims of this decades culture. They have nothing binding them to wizardry besides memes they saw on le secret hideout for epic redditors called da wizchansdotorg. Due to being newfags they overthink and overvalue the rules. This site has always been just a place for confused wizteens to shop for a label.

Depends, the minimalist position says that you can be a party animal with clear social tendencies and with tons of friends, bit as long as you remain a virgin you're a wizard

The maximalist position says that unless you're a massive NEET loser that spends 20 hours a day watching anime and playing games while doing nothing productive at all you're not a wizard

My opinion is somewhere in between personally.

>>199071
does it count if I got deliberately humiliated and now unironically just can't imagine ever interacting with female except when absolutely needed? I don't consider myself mentally ill or ugly retarded bastard, but I'm filled with disgust for them. and I hate people in general, fucking mindless robots.

I imagine the average wizard has a life expectancy of 50-60, with liver disease, heart attacks or some form of bowel cancer eventually claiming most of us. I don't think many people here have to worry about what they'll be doing when they're 80.

I don't think wizards live that long, many rope themselves or just fall by the side, unless you planned for the long run, wizard life expectancy is low.

You don't really need to worry about living that long. Without working like there's no tomorrow there's no retirement in store.

Interesting that this post mirrors my experience quite a bit.
I'm really uncomfortable about the fear of unknown and get really anxious about new experiences. I don't like to test myself and don't like to start something new or see the results of my work in fear that they will be uncomfortable in some way. I ghost people, I've become a shut in neet. I'm ashamed of going outside and someone recognizing me. I'm almost 25 and I have some moments of clarity where I fear I'm on a road to annihilation; but they go away when I'm zombie like state as I waste away my life in the internet fapping or some other useless shit. I never had a job, sometimes I apply to jobs but then I'm too scared to open my email because I think it would be discomforting. I wonder if my brain is always in self preservation mode or something like the part of brain responsible for fear is on overdrive. I don't think I'm autistic and I can feel other's emotions really well - too well in fact I have to consider myself as oversensitive. I will try this "plan ahead" thing you talk about but I'm really scared. I've tried to fix myself for over 4 years and it always falls apart either I get really depressed or I shut-down emotionally and waste another year. Wish me luck.

>make six figure bux
This is American privilege. You won't make 6 figures working as a programmer anywhere else in the world. Average salary is like ~€50k with 10-20 years experience in most European countries worth living in.

I would only want to work in design but I have no talent for it and these kind of jobs are HYPER competitive since they are your typical "dream job" so you have to compete against talented zoomers who graduated from top schools, already got experience + have the health to work 16 hour days… I had no chance to get a job like that when I was young and it's impossible now at 30 with no experience.

I can only focus on something productive 4 hours a day TOPS and every full time job needs you to work WAY WAY more. Even after these 4 hours which people would dream about my energy is depleted and I can't do anything else but relax for the rest of the day. I can't imagine cooking, exercise, chores… on top of that.

I'm also the kind of guy who has to triple check everything important so any kind of job with any responsibility would give me massive anxiety. I remember just small programs breaking because of simple coding mistakes I can't imagine being in charge of a program with 100k lines of code that can lead to thousands of $ in damage if it doesn't work.
