Regarding the anon talking about foods pre-colonization: https://youtu.be/KatdtodBpY8?si=arvwyLsaSuaHJHMp

>>6682 Nice short video. That was me and American anon. I actually have some original books that are 300-400 year olds back in India. It was a tough task translating them, a lot of ingredients I couldn't translate and probably many don't exist now. The spices are also so different, I made a pasta salad that way today. Sweet potato, beetroot, garlic in butter as spice with some pepper. Hörnchen pasta. End result was really good. I use chilli and garam masala only on special occasions now, opting to go satvik as often as I can. Maybe when I retire , I will actually translate more.

>>6691 There are a few movements and orgs in India preserving traditional rice, pulse etc. strains. Similarly, less developed villages still eat pre-colonial foods. Very hopeful about this yaro. I'm glad Indians are interested in preserving their culture. Unlike the Japanese, Indians seem to preserve the essential rather than the superficial. Perhaps this will change, but I think India is going to do well and survive the next few decades.

>>6695 I met several small firms doing it, their scale is small but good. As well as companies producing A2 milk and related products. That said, majority of Indians in cities, eat complete fucking shit food.

My wife is smarter than me. She is born intelligent. But she tends to keep everything in her brain. Her mind is like an open chrome browser with 100+ tabs open, causing heavy load on her brain. I am dumb like beavis and butthead, my brain can barely handle more than one task at a time. So I outsource my storage to paper and digital mediums as often as possible, keeping me sane. Even though my wife is the smart one, I end up being the effective one mostly.

>>6700 i think that is just how men and women work, women are social butterflies + have to do household chores, they have to keep tracks of tons of smaller tasks with no longterm implications, and know tons of people with superficial relational depth. Meanwhile, men have to lead and plan, we have to consider how one thing affects other things in our lives, and weigh the risk and rewards in both the long and short term, and have strong social ties with their friends.

>>6704 Nope. At an individual level, the variations are so high amongst people and cultures, that the biological and social differences are negligible. But habits do form, but they are individual. There are plenty of chicks who have very specific goal setting, planning and documentation. > Indians seem to preserve the essential rather than the superficial. Sos did a few japs, you just don't hear about it in MSM, but I met several artisans in Japan who were doing things the old school way, with no expectation of return. I have a handmade Namiki emporer pen, though now a guy does it in India too and I might order one from him because its cheaper.

>>6708 I was talking about biological inclinations, but yes, societal forces and individual idiosyncracies do tend to overcome that

>>6717 People who enjoy these are really lonely

>>6741 people who post on 8chan are often really lonely too

>>6742 we're schizo lonely, they're normie lonely

>>6743 Can Schizo's be called lonley ? Schizo's can always conjure friends. I've had many problems. Loneliness was never one of them. Reading and my small projects have always kept me busy

>>6717 I made it like 75% of the way through the trailer doesn't look watchable to me. Who enjoys this? Then again this is the state of Western media these days

>>6750 kek it's like this https://youtu.be/VqnByPbTkuQ?feature=shared&t=442

>>6750 I've been lonely, but perhaps I'm not enough of a schizo. >>6752 Lonely single women and cucks dragged there by girlfriends I assume. I figure it will flop, Hollywood will learn nothing, and pinch out a similar turd next year.

>>6753 Mujhe Jhonny ke liye bura lagta hai. 7:20 - I see what you are talking about. Men's fitness is pretty gay. In fight and martial arts circles, things get pretty gay lol. But there is something very nice about mens comradery.

>>6743 >schizo lonely thatss me >>6754 just looks like political message under the guise of comedy >haha woman promiscuous sex >haha woman fat >haha vagina joke >haha abortion >please laugh kudasai insufferable Americans. Went to a couple of health-related websites today they both refused to say man or woman they said "assigned male at birth" AMAB and AFAB. >>6757 Johnny ki zindagi me aisi koi cheez nahi jiske karan aapko uske liye bura lage >एक अच्छा दोस्त >प्यार करने वाली मां >बड़ा मकान >बड़े muscles >बेफिक्र और अल्लढ़ जवानी >सुंदर लड़कियों के साथ flirt करने की हिम्मत To kya hua jo koi ladki raazi nahi hoti wo apne aap me kaafi khush hai

It could be that you are experiencing good times or bad. Maybe really bad times of really good (though you wouldn't be here if the times were that good). It is important to understand these times in terms of where they lie on a long term distribution. So you can prepare for the other side and not have the false belief that + You are responsible for the good/bad. + Things will remain the same

>>6759 This post is gold. You are right, Jhonny is truly blessed.

As long as govt bodies use gmail use gmail and watsaop, we are not a power. Forget a serious power. Period.

>>6717 coming back to this, I know many such women IRL. some of them were this way when I got to know them, others became like this due to their choices and wanting to conform with the crowd around them. They are are usually average at best in looks, but have the "I am a goddess" delusion. They sleep around but far less than what they say online, usually with average men only. Their opinions online and IRL do not correlate with what they actually do. Given the Indian ones, they eventually find a corporate guy/Engineer doing decently well. You can think "I can change her,I can fix her" etc. I don't know. I find such people very disturbing. The movie trailer makes it seem like such people have atleast one good friend, IRL this is not true. It is simply tragic. Being schizo lonely or lonely is just better than to have delusions of being the hero of your own story.

>>6805 IMO, the reason some women think this way is partly the fault of social media and western psyop, and partly because, as I have a saying, "Pain forms the kind of human you are.", and " Pain unites people, and makes you develop sympathy for people who suffer like you, and you develop a want for better conditions/develop a sense of value for things." Most upper-middle class women raised in a relaxed fashion have had no pain in life whatsoever and have been spoiled with lavishness. The most common issues I see amongst women like these are : 1. They have no honor for money. As they have never felt the pain of being broke, they view a fuckton of money as a need, not as a luxury. 2. They cannot appreciate the hardwork their husbands/BFs do because they themselves never did any hardwork in life, and unless a man is absolutely perfect in every sense of the word, she will always feel unsatisfied because she has always gotten perfection.

>>6821 There is the analysis and that is important too. But my disconnect stems from my birth status of a low class/low caste specimen. > Most upper-middle class women raised in a relaxed fashion have had no pain in life whatsoever and have been spoiled with lavishness. They have a confidence, that the world owes them recognition, it owes them jobs, positions, fame and a right to rule over others. I was not born with that. I was raised to work for anything and everything and that feels natural to me. These high class people feel alien to me. I cannot sit in clubs and blow money on drinks, for social show. I cannot buy expensive clothes just for the sake of it. etc. BUT, I also feel like my time, my life, my energy and my money have purpose. Like most of the kids on Indian chans, I don't feel like I am missing anything compared to these kids. I do feel that they are missing something, To me, they are animals without a purpose, giving into their baser instincts, amplified by social media and birth status. They fuck without the sake of fucking. They drink without thrist, for the sake of drinking. Their existence is on someone else's plan and they are just going along with it. Oh well.

>>6842 “Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself.” ― Epictetus Living life made me a born again Hindu. There was what I had read and what was taught. Then there was what I lived, which made me a true believer. Weird.how that works in life

I've started becoming much more introspective lately and evaluating friendships and past relations. Enough years have passed since high school I can review most of my former classmates. It seems as you get older you stay the same, with all your tendencies either being amplified or reduced, but always present. Quite a few people have shown themselves to be duplicitous, and people I thought were bad in high school have become awful in adulthood. It's a shame that many people I feel close to have shortcomings (I do as well, obviously) but I've started reflecting more critically on my interactions with people. One of them in particular hurts the most. He wishes the best for you as long as you aren't doing better than him. He rarely misses an opportunity to be underhanded, but does so in a way that can be easy to miss and subtle enough I didn't realize it until compiling all the incidents in my head. It's unfortunate since I've known him for years at this point, and he seems to do his best to hide the tendency, and convinces himself he doesn't have it. Self-delusion is perhaps the deadliest trait. Also strange to see people shift their personality depending on who's around. I feel like no one around me is real anymore. I obviously hide my own power level and rarely give my own opinions anymore, so perhaps I'm no better. It's also interesting to see so many people fail personality-wise as we get older. Canada seems to encourage a lack of personal responsibility. It's never anyone's own fault, it's some other vague group. Perhaps that's everywhere, or a trait of getting older and coping with personal failure, but I see it so often now. I'm the sole reason I haven't achieved my own goals. It feels immensely liberating to say this. I always think about my ex too. I don't really miss her, maybe just the sex, but I think she was the greatest teacher of the fundamental truth that people will conform to whatever is expected. She was trad Hindu GF here until she was with her friends, and became career randi. I wonder how much of our time together was even real, and I wonder about my friend, how much goodwill he actually lends me and what the friendship would actually look like given any amount of strain. I've known him so long I've seen all the phases of his personality. While I based myself on a rejection of what was popular, he's always tried to integrate with it. Sometimes it's shocking the amount of pandering he is capable of. I remember in high school feeling something similar towards him and I ignored it at the time. I was not one of the popular kids, and so he would hang out with me as long as nothing better came up. Now I have actual social standing to a degree and he (as well as other people in high school) come to me for validation. It's clear how many relationships are built on self-interest and delusion, catering to their own egos and I want no part of it. The largest part that confuses me is his competition of sorts with me in regards to women. It's the main thing that got me to reflect on the relationship. For reference, we look incredibly similar. Roughly the same skin tone, almost the exact same height, eyes, hair colour etc. My sister mentioned that we look like brothers. But every time I have mentioned a girl the interaction with him seems to change, like he is suddenly competing with me. Like the entire friendship is in fact a contest, and now he can't win through other means (I believe sincerely I am smarter, for instance, and P4P or even absolutely I am fairly strong) that he then jumps on the opportunity to best me when talking to women. I don't know if this is just paranoia, and my ex in fact helped feed that. My ex always felt I was much better looking than her and it caused alot of insecurity on her side during the relationship. I remember her saying, "Oh he looks good," when I was looking at my friends IG post when me and her had first started dating, and that stuck with me. I accept that it was likely just her trying to make me jealous so she would feel better (she was extremely jealous, especially when we had first started dating) and that she likely didn't even get a good look at the photo, but it's one of those memories I can't really let go of. Since we look so similar too, I sometimes fear he is just the better looking model of me, or the band in the genre that just makes better music. Some of it might be because I've known him since childhood, when he was unpopular, and it's carried over into his adult life. I think this is true, he's confided in me at times that his mental state can be precarious, and his sense of worth falters. I've always been a loyal friend and wished the best, but it seems loyalty is a dying trait these days. The other thing that bothers me is that I know he slept with the freshly broken up gf of one of our mutual friends. When I've mentioned specific girls, it's always become something of an issue. What set me off on this tangent today is that we all went out Saturday and got completely plastered. What I thought was him hyping me up seems more and more like him trying to get me to fail in front of women. Sorry yaros, trying hard to sort out my thoughts on this. I realize the personality I have, the friends I'm with, and the choices I make now will be with me forever. I've cut so many people out of my life but I don't think it was anywhere near enough. Thailand has a religious value to me now, I feel as if I will leave it a completely different person. What I don't know yet is if the change is for the better or the worse. The year long minimum I spend in Thailand will likely irreparably alter or even sever so many relationships.

>>6875 I feel like the incident that inspired this was pure paranoia on my part, but it forced me to reflect on myself and the relationships I have.

>>6875 The random thread is a good place for thought dumps. Who knows it might help someone else too. > Narcissistic friends obsessed with their place in society Read the laws of human nature by Robert Greene. Having a systematic overview of human types with help you a lot. > Thailand Are you joining a martial arts camp ? Enjoy. I need to go too, but it will be minimum 2 years before I can (assuming the Euro doesn't crash). > That Ex Finding if people are being true or something else, it is best to judge them from their actions. True Hindu's act a certain way, regardless of what they say or show. That topic is for a different thread. But you can find dharmics in every faith. There are Christians and Muslims, who are more true to their Dharma than Honda sherni's and Jain grifters. Judging people based on actions is a life changing skill.

>>6875 I posted this ages ago, maybe in last random thread. You should review your friendships and relationships, every few years. We hold onto lot of harmful shit, just because it is familiar. It helps to let it go.

>>4349 Last month was very tiring. I am exhausted. Leaving for camping tomorrow and get some fresh air and exercise in. I need a mental break for sometime.

What is with Indians lying so much about their salaries ? Even mid tier chuths pretending they earn 30 lakhs or so. When their lie is caught, I find it embarrassing to talk to them.

>>6958 Never watched Evangelion. I don't like mecha, I lose interest as soon as I see mecha recent example being Ninja Kamui and metallic rouge. Should I apply for Masters (research) in water resources? I don't have money, I may have to take loan but idk if it's worth it. I have an interest in research so it's a financial decision I have to take. Tbh I don't have any other option, I'm neither from rich family nor have any type of guidance.
