>>9292 I rather have excruciating periods than whatever that happens. Back to normal like nothing happened except my skin is peeling from my eyelids and face.

>>9287 My PC isn't that shit so I mostly play Alan Wake 1 (not the remastered version, the original version which I pirated anyway.) With that being said, if you don't mind difficult games, UnReal World and NetHack are super fun, be warned that they are hardcore roguelikes though. Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut (2001 PC version) is playable on modern PCs with the Enhanced Edition mod, a quick google search will help (you have to pirate the original game though). VTM: Bloodlines is very good too. If you have a relatively modern PC (think Intel HD 4000+), Disco Elysium might work if you have at least 8+GB ram. It will probably be very choppy if you're not running at least a UHD 620 or something like that. Can't say anything though, my PC isn't really old. Your mileage might vary. If you are playing on your unkill's old Pentium 4 though, just stick to the roguelikes and Silent Hill 2. >>9289 Good selection, anon. Anon's reccomendations of Spiderman and Project IGI are top-notch. >>9287 >>9291 Sad life Anon, I feel scared of mass surveillance due to the extreme tensions in Kashmir. Family doesn't take the very real threats of GOI spying and Paki botnet trojans seriously at all, they are beginning to think that I'm doing something illegal on the net because of my schizo beliefs. >Isn't that what companies thrive on? Every Windows iteration goes that way. That's why i love this Kolhapuri chappal weaving forum. People actually can think for once here. You perfectly capture the essence of their whining. But again, they are Republic TV enthusiasts, they'd probably welcome pegasus preinstalls along with Intel ME if it meant that Mudiji would make another inspirational speech and Arnab Goswami began to cheer in happiness. >This is why you should rely on primary sources. I'm retarded and I can't figure out what are reputable sources. I shouldn't be posting here, but that's why I'm here. I think fellow schizos could help me be less of a normie. >You don't need to do that much. There are some things in life that cannot be helped. Really just ditching the smartphone will get you a relatively long way. Planning to do so Anon, mom thinks buying rootable and degoogled phones are a waste of money and illegal so I feel like doing so. But again, I need it to stay in contact with my father. Sad story. >Said it before. 4chan is reddit. True. Literally no difference. Only less censorship and more slurs. At least here I can have a somewhat intelligent conversation. >>9294 >Back to normal like nothing happened except my skin is peeling from my eyelids and face. Anon, are you okay? You can tell me here, is it some sort of serious health issue? Dermatitis? Autoimmune disease? Take care of yourself mate, we aren't fucking sadists here.

>>9247 Last few weeks have been a whirl, last 3 years have consumed so much out of me. I hate doing people stuff. A lot of diaspora fags are busy. A lot of Indians left India due to terror. Now they are putting their own money and time, into making sure Porkis pay. All the people interaction genuinely drains me. Eyes are too tired to resume the book I was reading before I left. EU like USA seems determined to cause a purge of Indians , later if not sooner. My name is high on the list. I am well known here, as a non conformist dangerous thinker. My boss needs my competence, otherwise Germans see us as the enemies. >>9247 GOLD ! >>9301 >>9289 Damn. These recommendations bring back good memories. Also, HL3 rumoured to be releasing this year ! >>9288 Why ?

one of you sent me a Bharatchan thread, old screenshots. Good times on Rusty's server. All posting is bait and response. I am a veteran like most of you wouldn't imagine. And I don't really care for it anymore. I have lived through raids, Doxxing attempts , ceepee accusations on hosters (respect for those who keep hosting chans, thankless job). I only post because I like talking to you guys. I wish I had energy to write meaningfully here again.

all conversation is bait.

I really don't want to die without feeling the pleasure of flesh Don't want to be vapourized by some paki nuke or become a strainer at the hands of a gunman and the last words to escape my lips are, "sab khatam" Should just go meet a prosti Yes I am a perververt and i really want o feel the softness of female breasts in my hand.

>>9303 >A lot of Indians left India due to terror. Now they are putting their own money and time, into making sure Porkis pay. German Anon? Been a while since I last saw your post. I'm not a diasporatard and never will be, but I get why many people would go abroad, money, coworkers and generally better quality of life even at lower pays. I wouldn't ever go outside of India, but even if I wanted to I can't, I don't have the money. It's nice that the Diaspora in general seems to be taking the Paki threat seriously, but as a mainlander I am terrified. It's a sense of ever-impending doom and dread, knowing that the inevitable will happen and that we have lost the opportunity to take advantage of the West, embroiled in culture wars thanks to a bunch of Makhor-fucking lowlifes. I don't want to be nuked. Is the situation better in Germany? I plan to go to Switzerland someday. >Damn. These recommendations bring back good memories. Which games seemed like they reminded you of your memories? I get Spiderman and Project IGI like the other anon said as they were pretty popular in India but, I doubt that my games trigger any memories though, they seem to have an exclusively western fanbase. I doubt that a lot of people in India played fucking Silent Hill 2 and UnReal World in India, but hey if it means that I see more Alan Wale fans in the wild.... HL3 release seems cool though, thanks for letting me know about this :) >EU like USA seems determined to cause a purge of Indians Ehh, the world seems very pissed at us (or, is it just the Internet?) so, I'd say it's nothing out of the expected. It's strange though, the world at large seems hell-bent on making South Asia as the next Middle East to satisfy their own fucked up desires and ego. Stay safe German Anon, especially since you said that "My boss needs my competence, otherwise Germans see us as the enemies." It's going to be tough times ahead. >>9304 >All posting is bait and response. I am a veteran like most of you wouldn't imagine. And I don't really care for it anymore. It's always been like that, I suppose. I'm not a very old user of Imageboards but I get where you say from. Back when I was still on Discuck before I grew some balls and deleted my account, I saw so many servers get nuked, doxxing and rape threats. I even helped some servers to get back up through some, secretive negotiations but like you said, it means nothing. It's easier to post inflammatory bait and get responses than to make any sane conversation, the sheer energy of the fallout I suppose, triggers something deep and fulfilling in the primal mind. Perhaps, it's the desire to be known and remembered in whatever way you can, to bask in the limelight no matter the means of achieving the result. >I only post because I like talking to you guys. I wish I had energy to write meaningfully here again. Relatable. I like this board because people have actual sentinence and it's possible to have a sane argument or friendly conversation. People also use less internet slang so, it feels like a forum to say hi and chat about life as an extension of the mind, rather than the internet as an entity of its own. >>9307 >I really don't want to die without feeling the pleasure of flesh >Yes I am a perververt and i really want o feel the softness of female breasts in my hand. It's okay Anon, there are worse things to die for than to feel the warm touch of the opposite and fairer sex. I get the feeling, dealing with the dread of impending war and warmongering from both ends. Knowing that this might or might not end well, the uncertainty and wait is perhaps worse than actually living through the events. People die because they want to gain money, as college dares and hazing. Your reason despite its carnal nature, is actually perfectly understandable. Just wrap your dick and pray she doesn't have AIDS or Herpes. At least you can hire a whore to bid little goodbyes before the bliding white light of a nuke vaporises our little bones and thin skins, I can't for reasons quite personal. The dread of knowing that I do not live as others and that I am not a main character in life is perhaps the most unsettling thing. I don't want to die.

>>9310 Will reply later in detail on games The war won't come to India most probably. India is baiting Pak. But the psy op is good for the population too. Better this than people involved in their taka taks and meaningless celeb bullshit. Did you love ghosts of tsukoshima ?

>>9307 Age ? Location is metro or small city ?

>>9314 >Will reply later in detail on games It's fine Anon, take your time. You seem to be busy in real life, and I respect that :) >The war won't come to India most probably. India is baiting Pak. Hopefully. Jyotishs are sperging out and screeching that war will come soon and it might be nuclear, but it's most probably just them trying to get sensational news to the public to gain more views, which is most likely the unfortunate truth. >But the psy op is good for the population too. Better this than people involved in their taka taks and meaningless celeb bullshit. True, it's much better. Much better than having to listen to painful instagram reels gossip and song loop, having to put my ears out to a very useless debate on the very existence of transgender people (which I couldn't care less about, this isn't the US and we have better issues to talk about.) You know, this might be a common topic for large parts of the nation to unite over, hopefully. At least people aren't super likely to talk useless gossip and worship celebrities and serials, like you said. >Did you love ghosts of tsukoshima ? I have never played Ghosts of Tsushima but, I might play it in the next 15 years along with Alan Wake 2 once IGPUs get powerful enough to handle current AAA games. I don't keep up with gaming trends, releases or news, not since a very long time ago :P My PC has integrated graphics and well, I don't buy Consoles or Gaming PCs/Laptops because they tend to be less repairable and have worse compatibility with FOSS drivers and OS stuff. Besides, I keep onto PCs for like 5-7 years at a minimum, unless it gets destroyed before that. Too schizo to give up libre drivers. I also tend to read books rather than play games, so that's a pretty significant part of the equation. I don't watch stuff like meme videos, or even movies and stuff like that. I do play games, but not as often as I read books. Do you read books too, Anon?

>>9318 > once IGPUs get powerful enough to handle current AAA games. This is my approach too. With both hardware and games. Regarding nice old games Metal gear 2 has a very special place in my heart, for red pilling me. Dues Ex is next for the story and red pilling, can strongly recommend. HL 1 for story, HL2 for physics. World of Goo for Puzzle, Captain claw seems forgotten now. doom mods have gotten amazing, but I am too lazy to config them. Doom 3 is more or less open sourced now. I played Silent Hill 2 some what later. Game physics really sparked my interest. Changing gravity in Quake 3 was what started it. I got internet later, so for a long time I was at the mercy of the local CD wala, if you know those. 10 Rs to rent game or movie. Indiagames.net was big back then and its forum was filled with lot of amazing people. Some of them went on to become game devs. Dark Souls 1 should run easy on newer iGPU's easily and is very much worth your time. > On Govt psy ops. I love that people discuss mock drills and suggest better ones, or prep for fighting the enemy. A militarised population is better than chapris. > Jyotish's and War We are in a constant war, the next 5 years, we will be fighting Pak, East Pak and China. Direct but limited military confrontations. Think of it as India re arranging the sub continent and making its own space. Consequences of US slowly exiting the security space. All of this is excellent for India and Indians, as long as we handle it correctly. > On Diaspora The rich karan johar types get attention but like Johar, they don't make it. Making it in another country means starting from -ve. No contacts, no network etc. But no reservations or anything. Anyway, I got disillusioned here. A security check flagged me as risky to the establishment here. I will see what that means.

>>9319 >>9318 Forgot about System shock 2, idk when it came out. But amazing story and game play for its time.

>>9318 Gaming as entertainment is immersive, so better than shows and movies, but it is tiring to play. So is reading books. Walks are better for that when weather allows. In winter, when getting out means wearing a lot of layers, I watch something at home. I wish I had a separate gaming machine. I could buy a steam deck. Lets see. I need to buy a musical instrument first. I want to play boomer shooters, like Doom eternal . heavy metal and killing demons is relaxing. I have played it on console, but I am a mouse and keyboard guy.

>>9310 Don't leave India. Things are turning around and you will benefit from that change. I consider myself a Bharatiya in exile, while the temporary state of India reforms itself. I still have my Indian passport. I am well integrated here, speak fluent Deutsch etc. But I don't relate to most mleechs, their world view or their struggles. They are first worlders. I am a third worlder. Krishna Bhagwan too lived away from Vrindavan and his home. Our Karma bhoomis and Janma bhoomies are not the same. The India I was born in , is gone. Good times aside, it was not a place worth saving. Niether is current India. We are working towards a Bharat though. this includes exiles like me and many others. I met this Kashmiri pandit guy, harrowing tales. Dude puts all his profits into fighting the secular state as well as Pakis. Pakis are just temporary adversaries. We have to break the nations, starve them and then convert them. Real enemies are whires.

>>9307 Smart grills, big tiddy and glasses are my weakness too. Go with a prostitute. Don't cheap out. Avoid STD's. But dating 3D is worth it too.

>>9318 On books Audiobooks for fiction and travel non fiction on e reader Textbooks - Paper I need to read the theoretical minimum physics series. Can you recommend a similar book for maths ? Reading Creative by rick Rubin again. Will re read Laws of human nature and Karmayogi then. https://youtu.be/_KPLXRvI_vQ Try this The drama of the gifted child Psychology books are helping me sort my mental bullshit and over come my past.

>>9304 if anybody is looking for the thread https://bharatchan.com/board/b/thread/60769

>>9319 >Metal gear 2 has a very special place in my heart, for red pilling me. Dues Ex is next for the story and red pilling, can strongly recommend. Holy shit Anon, they were literally on my list for PS2 games for emulation. I already have Deus Ex, guess I'll finally bite the bullet and download MGS2. >I got internet later, so for a long time I was at the mercy of the local CD wala, if you know those. 10 Rs to rent game or movie. Ehhh, I do remember such stuff. You know, those all-in-one CDs. I had them too, but my family tended to buy movies more and didn't let me play any game that was paid, not even rented so yeah... :P >Indiagames.net was big back then and its forum was filled with lot of amazing people. Some of them went on to become game devs. I'm guessing that this forum leans to an older demographic. Maybe, that's why the conversation is much nicer on average here. I lean on the younger side, probably a lot younger than you. Eitherways, it's nice to learn internet lore from fellow Anons :) By the way, thanks for the Dark Souls 1 and System Shock 2 recs, will play them once I can free some disk space on my disk. Dev toolchains and compatibility layers are taking up most of my disk space, along with a Windows Install since I need Photoshop :( >>9321 >Gaming as entertainment is immersive, so better than shows and movies, but it is tiring to play. So is reading books. True, I frankly have more respect on average for gamers than people who watch goyslop on Netflix or Amazon Prime yadayada. With that being said, you rightfully pointed out that it's a tiring hobby like reading. If all you read is Warhammer-tier or Brandon Sanderson-tier slop or on the other end, TikTok 'DaRK RoMaNcE' and Coleen Hoover/Sarah J Maas, reading isn't that tiring since it doesn't require thinking. Textbooks and literary fiction on the other hand, you can't simply just finish a book in one setting. >Walks are better for that when weather allows. In winter, when getting out means wearing a lot of layers, I watch something at home. Hmmm, I don't even watch movies like 99% of the time even if it rains cats and dogs outside. I listen to music for entertainment. >A militarised population is better than chapris. True. Absolutely brilliant take. We have a chapri epidemic. >>9323 >I am well integrated here, speak fluent Deutsch etc. But I don't relate to most mleechs, their world view or their struggles. Damn, I personally never thought that I'd want to go as a diasporatard because of a strange loyalty to my motherland and religion. It's familiar and you know, I'd rather stay here. I don't want any future family to have an identity crisis, integration is scary for me and as a result, I'd rather not emigrate. I respect them and I respect mine, that's why I don't want to settle abroad. I'd go for a degree at the most, but nothing permanent. Strangely enough, you said that you speak perfect Deutsch, I always wanted to learn a useless language from a country whose people probably hate me already... Estonian, I think it just sounds very pretty and I found a beautiful English translation of 'Tõde ja Õigus, Volume 1', that's what lead me to wanting to learn it. Shame that the other 4 parts in the pentalogy aren't translated... God, I should feel shame, even Finnish has resources. Any advice for my autism, Anon? Ignore it, learn it? Scold myself for being a mega autist? >I met this Kashmiri pandit guy, harrowing tales. Dude puts all his profits into fighting the secular state as well as Pakis. Coming back to topic... God. I can't even imagine to imagine the pain the poor man has been though. He's, based (I mean, I don't like Internet slang but, I can't find another adjective to describe him.) I can't imagine the strength that the man must have in his soul, may God show his strength for his goals. >Don't leave India. Things are turning around and you will benefit from that change.

Ehh, I won't :) I'm bullish on my country's future. I'm sure that it will get better. Back in the 80's Tuberculosis and even Plague were common and not just in remote villages based on family accounts , I'm talking large towns and Tier-3 Cities. Now, plague is pretty much non-existent; tuberculosis is rare for the most part. Even the roads and highways have gotten significantly better in the part 10 years alone, what were unrailed kucch a roads on clips now have CCTV cameras, highway metalled roads and nice safety railings :) >>9325 >I need to read the theoretical minimum physics series. Can you recommend a similar book for maths ? Well, I don't really read textbooks since I mostly read literary fiction, so I might not be able to give the best recs. With that being said, you could try Terrence Tao's 'Analysis' series, 'Gödel, Escher, Bach' tends to be popular too. For instructional textbooks, I have heard nothing but good things about Serge Lang's 'Basic Mathematics' and Michael Spivak's 'Calculus'. >Psychology books are helping me sort my mental bullshit and over come my past. Not the biggest fan of them Anon, but I'm glad for you that they are helping you out in life :D

War time, staying up 3 days and 3 nights, keep tracking non stop. >>9329 I really cannot praise MSG2 and Deus Ex enough. There are PC ports for both, no emulators necessary. Very resource light too. If you like platformers, Holllow Knight is good and light. > On CD culture I got access after 12th. So for a few months, i played games, watched movies and caught up on culture. It was a nice break from JEE fagging. Then collage began and though it had it plus sides, it wasn't peaceful either. > On Forums I think DT did a video, https://youtu.be/lMdCzsIuQsM I am a member still of some such forums, one of them is 14 years old, with mostly older demographic. > On slop TV There are occasionally good ones. I enjoyed Panchayat a lot. But mostly I find them unwatchable. People my age, organise parties for popular shows and I honestly cannot. > The chapri epidemic Man, I have a headache from anger. Spoke to some chapri Indian girl. When things didn't go her way, she ended it with "I don't want to continue this conversation anymore" and one fat tear down her fat filled cheek. At that point, a wave of disgust filled me. I paid the bill and left, feeling dirty at having talked to a creature like her. We need warfare against inner filth right now. > On Diaspora. There are few , like Bhosdapillers, who think themselves as honorary whites and hate Indians. Most are victims of circumstances. Sending money home, left country due to security issues , court cases, political injustice etc. Life is too long and unpredictable to make a decision. If and when the decision comes, it won't be made due to your preferences. I have been to Estonia, it has its own strange beauty. Excellent people. They don't get many tourists, so when they do, they really go all out. Estonians don't hate Indians. I had excellent time there and unparalleled hospitality. Even though I hated their food. > Textbooks and literary fiction on the other hand, you can't simply just finish a book in one setting. Scriptures and Philosphy, I keep re reading the same books. I miss devouring Science textbooks though. I need a house with a bigger bookshelf. As much for books as much as notes. > Advice for autism IT IS WHAT IT IS. EMBRACE IS AND PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS ONLY Don't listen to advice from non autists. They give stupid advice that doesn't apply to autists like - Be charming - Max this max that Be the maxxed version of your autist self and learn enough social skills to get through basic social situations. All else is a waste of time. We will not be charming movie stars, that is perfectly fine. > Back in the 80's Tuberculosis and even Plague Yeah my mother was a victim. I also was sick for a very long time in that time. It stunted by growth

Indian roads and railways are a pleasure now. As education improves slightly, I hope peoples base mentality will get better too. I have read Gödel Escher Bach, but that was a literal lifetime ago. Now that I don't have exam pressures on me, I want to learn basic sciences deeply again. My childhood regret is that I had to rush through these topics without getting to enjoy their beauty. If you think about it, just the amount of maths that a kid learns till 12th IS A LOT TO KNOW. People don't realise that just school curricular is a lot to know and very dangerous in the right hands.

>>9372 >There are PC ports for both, no emulators necessary. Very resource light too. I know, just that I tend to use my phone a lot more since I have to sit at one place to use my PC but, my smartphone can handle emulation and I can move around with it, so that's why I preferred emulator to play those games. Phones are retarded, but I like moving around. >If you like platformers, Holllow Knight is good and light. Will try it out Anon! >I am a member still of some such forums, one of them is 14 years old, with mostly older demographic. I will see your linked video once I get some time, I mean I don't usually watch YouTube videos but, I'll make an exception for this one :) >On Diaspora >There are few , like Bhosdapillers, who think themselves as honorary whites and hate Indians. True that, I think Vivek Ramaswamy would count as one. With that being said, I'm not even sure why Indians like Trump and Musk this much. Musk is fucking racist as hell and literally pays whores to carry his kids because he thinks that his genes must be carried by sons (funnily enough, one ended up trans) and, Trump and the American right in general hates pagans and anyone who doesn't believe in blond, blue-eyed and gun-wielding Jesus and yes, they hate Sanatanis too. I just gave up on the bhosdapillers on both librand and 'Murican sides. I mean, lot of white supremacy accounts of Twatter are Indian so they'd fit in perfectly. >Most are victims of circumstances. Sending money home, left country due to security issues , court cases, political injustice etc. True. Lot of Filipinos in particular send money home. Coming back to India, I saw people here in go abroad for better job opportunity and work-life balance in particular, because Europe and the west in general tends to have actual workplace regulations unlike India. I knew a dude with a family here, young bloke who died of stress-induced cardiac arrest because of working 12+ hours in the office. This is pretty rare in metro cities, especially among industrial workers because of unions negotiating mandatory breaks and safety equipment. He left a housewife and 2 young children. Since professionals and white-collar workers generally can't negotiate, it can become a big recipe for disaster in corporate sections (insert obligatory Infosys joke.) Corporates in India tend to be godawful and sometimes even worse than startups, better to work for some small firm or set up your own practice. >I have been to Estonia, it has its own strange beauty. Excellent people. They don't get many tourists, so when they do, they really go all out. Whoa, that was unexpected. Mildly surprised that they are supposedly really nice, particularly since Northern Euros and Eastern Euros tend to have a, less than favourable view when it comes to brown or black people in general to say the least... a And, since the Baltics are in some sort of weird crossroads between Northern and Eastern Europe, I didn't expect much. >Estonians don't hate Indians. I had excellent time there and unparalleled hospitality. Thank god! I mean, Poland, Russia and Ukraine are nearby and they are not fans of say, non-white people to say the least so I'm glad :) I mean, Tallinn had a Asian-origin mayor once apparently but this was still very unexpected. For the clarification why I'm mildly interested in Estonia, it's not because I want to say, visit or even emigrate there, it's because I genuinely like the language for some strange reason... It sounds nice in a strange way, it isn't *trés romantique* like French, or heavy and soft like Russian. It's, very clear and lucid to me, I can clearly understand what sounds they make even if they are speaking fast and it has a nice sing-song characteristic while not being as raspy or drawn out as Finnish. Yeah, it's just the autism speaking out through me. >Even though I hated their food.

Anon, it's a Northern European country, what did you expect? >:) I do want to try some Kohuke some day, it seems very delicious :) But I don't think I'd have a very good time there though, I'm an unironic vegetarianfag for Sanatani reasons but still, Kohuke... I really want to taste it. >The Chapri Epidemic >"I don't want to continue this conversation anymore" and one fat tear down her fat filled cheek. Coming back to India, my god I have met such people. There are sterotypical chapris with their KTMs and DSLRs and lipstick, and then there are rich chapris in the urban cities who really fucking love Taylor Swift and have such an annoying cadence in their voices. I saw a grown ass woman on the metro gush about "Book boyfriends" and, "How she'd let Charles Leclerc Ultraviolence her" and I wanted to poke a hole through my eardrums, especially since this was in public and I was just trying to look out of the window. Trust me Anon, this was a real thing and I wanted to strangle some people while she was sitting opposite to me. >We need warfare against inner filth right now. True, Chapris are the bane of our civilization, even more than librands and WhatsApp Unkills. >I need a house with a bigger bookshelf. As much for books as much as notes. ;) Can relate Anon! Or, almost... I like reading books too, but I read e-books more nowadays since I can just pirate them and send it to a e-book reader or just read on my PC/Phone. It saves a lot of money, especially since I tend to read weird novels that can cost upto like, 5k+ depending on the title... Or are completely out of print. >Yeah my mother was a victim. I also was sick for a very long time in that time. It stunted by growth Indian roads and railways are a pleasure now. I'm glad! I'm a younger person again, so I might not be the best person to say this but, India has visibly improved a lot. My mom used to say that epileptic women would be dressed in skimpy rags and beg because no one would give them work, and that leprosy wasn't uncommon and she didn't live in a village mind you, she was in a town, a small one, but urban nevertheless. There would also be constant riots and people would die being burnt alive in flaming buses, set on fire by mobsters, Naxals and Paki supporters. I'm glad that India has become much stronger, she used to say that Pakistan would dominate us and bend us over. Indoor toilets were very rare too and cashew nuts were literal gucci-tier luxuries. When I was a kid, I'd never have thought that I wouldn't need cash at all even for some chai on a remote highway but now, I can pay the sabziwala with my phone and take away the vegetables :) It's very science fiction to me, at least. City roads suck like usual but yeah, I've seen highway segments that felt like a motorsport track at times. I'm very happy by the progress that India has made :) I grew up in a less poor and more, improving India and I'm very grateful for it. >Now that I don't have exam pressures on me, I want to learn basic sciences deeply again. My childhood regret is that I had to rush through these topics without getting to enjoy their beauty. You'll now remember them much better, since you have an actual interest in the subjects, Anon. >If you think about it, just the amount of maths that a kid learns till 12th IS A LOT TO KNOW. People don't realise that just school curricular is a lot to know and very dangerous in the right hands. No wiser words were said.

During JEE, 3 friends sat together. 2 of them were smart, well prepared etc. Question paper was unusual. One friend had studied this topic and found success. 3rd one sat diagonal to successful one, copied him and did well. 2 got into IIT's, 1 didn't. A - IIT's , masters in MIT, 6 digit US company , fucked up in personal life B - IIT, couldn't keep up, Tier 2, MBA, Deloitte manager, heart attack ,NGO C - Tier 2, core company, grind, do well, lucky in love All three are far away from what they loved. None of them is happy with the work they do or where they ended up. They were at the top of their fields, social groups and very brilliant. But life is essentially random and doesn't care for our expectations. The actual stories are gorier, I have sanitized them to make a different point. सोचा कुछ , हुआ कुछ What is the point of pretending that all your planning is going to work when so much of life is pure and complete randomness ? How do you deal with things when you know that what will happen tomorrow is neither predictable nor in your hands. How does one determine their principles when faced with such randomness ?

>>9401 Although too mainstream but the subtle art of not giving a fuck really helped me choose the right values and metrics to measure them. Something clicked while listening to the audiobook, felt like weight lifted off my shoulder

>>9323 The privilege to be able to experience completely different culture makes this worth it

>>9403 Yes. One should travel for this purpose for sure. Earlier this could be easily done within India, but India is slowly becoming a Uni culture and one needs to find real villages to experience the uniqueness of each area. But cultural experiences require depth too. Normies are blind to it. But chess players travelling for tournaments, archi nerds, musicians, food enthusiasts etc really understand these things. But shifting your entire life to another country is entirely something else. My social circle has sadly mostly shifted to Germany. Family ties in India are weak, my relations were not good to begin with. Yet culturally I am rooted in India.

>>9402 That book was weird for me, because it made me realise my own age. Most of the references that author used, were childhood stories. Without the internet, we mostly had magazines. I learnt those same lessons differently. But that book is really really well written and easy to absorb. I also listen to lot of audiobooks this way. Audiobooks are terrible when i need retention or notes. But for just thinking I really love them. Long train rides or flights are blessed by this. I re read Savarkar using this. Now waiting for a version of Jankis Savarkar book

>>9418 I don't like reading books that are not scientific. Started listening to this cuz I needed some background noise during some work and really liked it.

Tried learning new trending dance (blue shirt guy dance or Samba whisk), realized the weakness of my flesh and brain (can't keep practicing basic footwork for long + can't do repeating motion again and again) I've always had problem doing repeated body tasks, after some time my body always fell out of rhythm no matter what. Can't even walk uniformly.

Man, there aren't any decent India automotive forums anymore. I was browsing through old TeamBHP threads and there was some crazy shit, what kind of person stuffs a Ford Escort V8 from the 1980's inside a Hindustan Contessa? Yeah, there was a thread like that, and restoration threads (I saw a car being restored from a rust barn find to concours-level.) Now it's all just safety unkills, TATA shills and the occasional boring description of a long drive. The journalism is just boring as shit, normie-tier discussions about touchscreens and shit like that. There are some relatively decent forums like Autoshite, but it's not even Indian. I mean, this belongs in the automotive thread but, I'm just ranting about forums so yeah, any decent forums that are still nice to lurk about? Doesn't even have to be related to cars. The PCSX2 forums are still nice to lurk through, Steam Underground is nice too. Btw, https://audistory.de/ is a top-notch website. It isn't maintained right now, but it's accessible and it's super interesting, especially if your into Audis.

I Wanna get rich and get the fuck away from this IIT. IIT's are like cricket of Indian education system. They suck away the attention and funding from all the other Institutes. The education system should be from bottom to top not top to bottom. Schools should be developed first. China is garbage in many things but they got their education system right (minus the harshness). The gay ISCon people on the top bringing useless gay followers into the institutes. Those fuckers don't do anything and don't get any repercussions. And the worst part is, they know they're immune. Absolute monkey circus. I feel like I'm contributing to a trash can.

>>9426 team bhp is jam packed with normalbhangis now.Their posts all give off the corporate uncle scent. They also engage in a strange form of car worship, "Pre-worshipped" no, you are the first person to worship it. Even if you ignore this word, many of their posts do kind of feel like the worship their cars. I don't think the technical knowledge of these people is substantial, apart from a few members. That said, it has become much, much slower. It's ironic, considering how they added a lot of members in recent years. I think this is emigration. Reddit carsindia, which somehow manages to be worse, has seen substantial growth, and it is likely that the people on team bhp also post there and - being faster - it is more appealing for them. https://8kun.top/india/res/2936.html You may be interested in knowing that cars24 bought an undisclosed stake in team-bhp. https://autonauts.cars24.com/blog/backing-team-bhp It's not like the forum was seeing much growth or was doing anything productive, and I don't know what cars24 is going to do with it (supposedly something with AI - go figure) but it will definitely become worse than what it is. used car aggregators are basically mafia, buying out used cars from everyone and then artificially inflating the prices. I do not expect anything good from them.

Help me out lads. As much as I hate the NoFapfags and Wingnat-tards, I have a moderate to severe porn addiction. They say that eroticism without pornography, can be funny, can be almost divine, can be awkward or even surreal. The problem is that pornography is essentially reducing the flow of the erotic, the personality of giving and reciprocating into a synthetic and souless form design to merely tickle your genitals. It's mental fast food. Now, my brain is porn-fried and the average NoFapper is somehow more focused on fucking than a bukkake orgy swinger club. Any advice anons to, reverse my brain's thoughts and take charge of my life and do my daily chores without having to fap or think about fucking? Please, I'm tired of having to search how to do this online and just get NoFap and #SIGMACOACH results. I'm a home-dwelling autist which explains why I'm so active on posting on this Kolhapuri chappal-making forum.

>>9439 >>9439 I get extreme urge when I don't have anything to do. Find a hobby or some work that you have to do outside your room or in front of people. Anything that distract your mind and is little challenging but not very hard will help you to keep your addiction in check. Listen to your favorite music to fry your brain from music dopamine rather than porn. Give your dick a temporary injury (it worked for me once) Do not masturbate thinking that it'll reduce your urge. It magnifies it, once you masturbated, your nosy will ask for more throughout the day. What else, if you're autistic, you can just overthink and get a panic attack (works like a charm). If you're not an actual autistic personal, go for therapy.

>>9440 Nosy isn't a slang for dick but a typo unfortunately

>>9440 >I get extreme urge when I don't have anything to do. Incredibly relatable. >Find a hobby or some work that you have to do outside your room or in front of people. Look here Anon, I might be a home-dwelling autist but I'm not a neckbeard. I have a hobby. I really like drawing since it keeps me busy enough to no think about cooming (sure, I could try drawing hentai, but I'm shit at drawing breasts and dick so it's all SFW anyway and I don't want people to see my sketchbook, much less see porn in it so yeah... I have a hobby that keeps me too busy to coom.) >Listen to your favorite music to fry your brain from music dopamine rather than porn. I do that nearly 24/7 Anon, it actually works. I'm a fag and I always lurk rateyourmusic to find moar albums for that sweet sweet dopamine. I don't tend to think about cooming when I'm consooming music instead, now that I think of it... I'm also too lazy to fap when I'm listening to music, I mean fapping is too much effort comparing to just opening some files. >Do not masturbate thinking that it'll reduce your urge. It magnifies it, once you masturbated, your nosy will ask for more throughout the day. Don't worry, I won't do that anon. I always feel like fapping more after I fap, but my dick's too sensitive afterwards so I just give up. >What else, if you're autistic, you can just overthink and get a panic attack (works like a charm). This is where I excel. I don't really think about stuff that gets me panic attacks but, I always think that if I watch porn and fap, I will not be able to face God and lot of good karma will go down the drain and I'll be reborn as a dog or go to Narak so yeah... With that being said, I just mostly daydream about writing a horror novel/game, being an expert in my field or just driving cars (no chick in the passenger seat.) Most of my daydreams don't generally involve sex but a lot of them do... I try to control the horny though. Thanks a lot for those tips, Anon :) I'll try to control horny coomer brain ;)

When I was young, I was like an expensive computer. I could remember and compute many things with accuracy and recall when needed. Now each task has many details. And I need to keep those details in my brain. Sometimes tasks get stuck and therefore, so do the details in my brain. And often I run into memory limitations because of this. In past I did do meditation. Maybe I should resume that.

>>9431 I did not know about Team BHP or the mafia behind it. For the car hobby wouldn't it be better to talk to real life people about it ? >>9442 How are you doing now anon with regards to gooning ?
