>>9459 4 retards drinking hahahahahhahaha. Cheers.

>>9459 Started editing pepes after ages. I am forcing myself to do fun things and not be productive. Well, fun things are fun. I missed this. Being an online troll is not fun in the online wars kind of way. I don't see a point in online wars. But making pepes is good wholesome fun. Sandeep Acharya does way more for the cause than any anonymous troll. He even puts his address in his YouTube songs. Wealth and status are traps that prevent action.

Muslim women when they reach 30.age terribly. The fats just sag everywhere and they lose all tone and definition. A classmate , who used to be a hottie looks like a rotting vegetable now.

I want a pc to plug into my telly. Seemless sports streaming and torrenting are the primary objectives. What should my config be? Cheapest but i dont want it lagged even slightly

>>9467 i3 12th gen plus or Ryzen 4500 series+ 8gb ram if you use Linux or debloated Windows. 16 if you use Windows. You need a decent network card, preferably a LAN cable. Why not Gen 11 or below ? Heating. Updates to fix security issues really impacted Intel processors. Why not RaPi or SBC's ? They do work but you need very solid cooling for Indian climate, or an AC room the very least. For the price of 8gb or 16gb model, you can easily get a netbook or NUC mini PC.

>>9467 Lag in the stream, or in general operation? For the latter it is important to use an operating system that is not bloated. I would worry more about DRM with the sports streaming. You don't want to spend money and then realise that the streaming service will only play 720p on your 4k tv because some software or hardware component does not meet their HDCP "standards". I tried running jiotv on bluestacks. It worked but my hardware was too old so it was impractical. I would buy some ~5-year old desktop with a Core processor 8gb ram minimum from OLX or used computer shop, and forget about it. Should be enough to run debloated windows, and I wouldn't give much thought to specification because it isn't my main machine. Maybe add an SSD. >>9468 Yes it would be best if you run an ethernet cable to your system. If not, 5GHz WiFi.

>>9470 The 720p is a good point. I tried premium hotstar in India. 4K content is rare. Mostly upscaled 720p. It makes no sense to invest in hi res when streaming is the means

>>9468 While at suggest me a laptop under 80k ( other than ideapad, tuff). Thinking Lenovo LOQ with ryzen 7 HS Is the 4050 any better than 3050 or waste?

>>9475 What is your use case ? Do you travel a lot or not ? What OS do you plan to use

This person has bought a phone on credit, and an employee of the creditor (credditor?) seems to have installed an app on the phone, and has given it administrator privileges. This gives it total control over the phone, which is very invasive indeed. (link below) He says that the app is an MDM (mobile device management) type app, like the one used by corporate entities to control their assets given to employees. He says the phone is "IMEI locked" and that the application runs on very low level and "starts up before the OS". Can't be sure, but this just seems like a poor regurgitation of a ChatGPT response. One of the reasons is that the application was installed by the employee, and didn't come from the manufacturer - which means it's a normal userspace application, and the earliest it can ever run is after you unlock the phone - because the user partition is encrypted until this happens. For the application to start before the OS, you would have to alter the /boot partition or the /system partition, both of which are impossible on a locked bootloader. At least, that's what I know. There could be nuances. I don't care about the moral or financial aspects about any of this. All I want to know is if this is actually possible, and the way it works. And if there is a way to remove this. First thing I would try is to get the phone into EDL mode if qualcomm, and then flash the stock ROM, which the bootloader should happily accept. This should remove the app in all probability. And then I would unlock the bootloader and custom ROM it, just to be sure. (presently, the creditor application supposedly prevents enabling developer options, asking for a PIN.) The gripe here is that Google could be enabling this. I don't know how exactly Google achieves this, but a factory reset if you manage to do it does not wipe off the Google account from the device - you have to log in, or the device stays unusable. This can easily be extended to locking devices on credit, if they wanted to. https://old.reddit.com/r/india/comments/1l4cmgv/bajaj_finserv_is_spying_on_your_phone_if_you_buy/ I just want to know more about this. Do you know of documentation where I can read more about this? Here are the things I could find. https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/11/09/google-has-an-app-to-lock-you-out-of-your-financed-phone-if-you-stop-paying-for-it/ https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/admin/DeviceAdminService (The link above says this is the API that is used by the Google application for credit things.)

>>9483 I just remembered that the EDL mode only flashes the bootloader and does not flash the entire OS. So what I said about it doesn't stand, and this makes the system quite foolproof.

Did a 3 day 2 night trek. Distance was just under 20 kms, but LOTS OF ASCENT AND DESCENT and technical tricky terrain. Extremely tiring but also extremely refreshing. European big cities are all the same. Different language, same touristy bullshit. Sitting at job all day, the idea of more idleness does not appeal to me. > Picrel Garyl Titanium. Best investment I ever made. Clean water anywhere.

>>9483 Can confirm this. I got a phone on loan early on, it had similar app built in that was reading all my dad down the deepest system settings. This seems like an evolved version of it. https://www.bajajfinserv.in/how-to-root-android Strangely enough I found this ! Going through documentation, what I understood is , the service needs to ping Bajaj/admin regularly, otherwise it will either disable or lock down the device depending on how it is configured. It has been a long while since I fucked around with android, but rooting without IMIE code is possible ? Once bootloader is unlocked, hard reset and new rom should fix this imo. But I am n not familiar with newer versions of android.

>>9488 Just to clarify, the phone I got was on contract i.e. EMI i.e. Loan. They don't use the loan word here, people mainly get it on contract for 2 years and then change it. Buying a phone is considered more expensive and I fell for this tactic. They made their money in other ways. Serving me ads on phone non stop, which then they would claim I clicked and my bill would increase. I used to appeal and in time I would get my bill back. I could and eventually did break my contract, but it was signed for 3 years minimum. I lost significant money this way. The Indian one is just siphoning data it seems.

Anons, I know that I'm retarded but since I am a home dwelling autist and I will never feel the warm touchof a woman and I'm not really interested in committed relationships, I just wish that I could summon a succubus for a one-night stand. I know that I'm a retard but I did do some research on /x/ and it says that they are interested in long term relationships and shit like that. I'm a fucking autist and I really want a one-night stand with a succ. Such is life.

>>9486 >It has been a long while since I fucked around with android, but rooting without IMIE code is possible I don't think you ever needed the IMEI to unlock the bootloader. Are you confusing it with the bootloader unlock code? You still need this for most phones. Some manufacturers refuse to give it to you at all. >Once bootloader is unlocked, hard reset and new rom should fix this imo. But I am n not familiar with newer versions of android. To unlock the bootloader, even if you do know the bootloader unlock code, you need to toggle a switch in the settings menu. It's super easy to prevent the user from doing this if an app runs with admin permissions. There is probably something built into the Android OS to make this easier for the app. This is useful for endpoint management for corporate entities. There is a similar switch for factory reset. - FRP, Factory Reset Prevention (or Protection, I think.). If you do not enable it from the settings menu, the recovery will refuse to reset the phone. In short, the recovery always checks the values of respective flags and refuses to unlock the bootloader or reset the phone if the flags aren't set. this means if an app could get admin privileges before you can get root access to your phone, you have run out of legitimate ways to take back control of your device. It even disables developer options, btw so no adb. You can hope that the app was developed by a bunch of mouthbreathers in a sweatshop, and inject bad data from somewhere, maybe they forgot to check for authenticity of data received, try to impersonate the bajaj domain using a custom routing table and a computer on your local network and tell it to do something. But the fact remains that the hardware isn't going to listen to you, and that feeling is really frustrating. (I used to "own" a chinky phone which showed me ads and a bunch of other shady things, but Huawei refused to give me the bootloader unlock code, which is why I know the feel.) >>9489 >They don't use the loan word here, people mainly get it on contract for 2 years and then change it. Buying a phone is considered more expensive and I fell for this tactic Maybe it's cheaper for people who do change phones every 2 years? >serving ads There should be legislation against this. If there is a way to show you ads, no matter how obscure, they use it.

>>9493 https://www.sleepfoundation.org/dreams/lucid-dreams you're best bet. Or just go visit a prosti. >succ interested in long-term-relationships <I like to pay full price for a rental car

>>9495 >you're best bet. Will try anon, will try... >Or just go visit a prosti. Yeah bro, would have done it but, I have no money for that since I am a broke nigger and well, I don't know whether a prosti will do demon roleplay with horns and everything and be a qt3.14 tomboy with short hair. >succ interested in long-term-relationships <I like to pay full price for a rental car Kek, this is fucking hilarious. Will try lucid dreaming instead.

>>9494 I think I meant IMIE lock code, but yeah the bootloader unlock code is different. I get what you are saying. You don't own the device if the company controls the codes. Well, that is what paying EMI's is. I switched to a Fairphone a while back, due to these frustrations. IT is far from a perfect phone, but I own the hardware and software and I can do with it as I please. Have already replaced the USB C and made mods to the cover and other things, > Maybe it's cheaper for people who do change phones every 2 years? It is for iphone users or Flagship phones.For anything else, wasted. > There should be legislation against this. If there is a way to show you ads, no matter how obscure, they use it. There is a sinister side to this. Ad cookies spy on you very effectively and companies and governments use that data. My own theory is GOI does this too. Not common citizens but the special cases for sure.

>>9459 Chill with the drinking guys, it’ll mess up your looks fast.

>>9504 Very true. My gen of girls have aged like milk because of binge drinking.

All the news articles of murders of husbands (and those of wives/gfs too) are very disturbing. Relations between men and women should be between them. Involving state, involving cultural institutes and trends etc instead of directly talking to each other and solving it between them is stupid.

>>9504 >>9505 I'm going to age like shit too, but only because of worry and lack of sleep. Need to find a way out of the wage cage, or at least, find my way to a better wage cage. >>9510 No! Everything that happens in the country must be dictated by the government!

>>9516 >>9505 >>9504 Balance hydration and drinking. Expect the effects on sleep and keep quantities low. InCh days I was drunk posting a lot and drinking a fair bit. Now it is 0. I am older and capacity has gone down. But friend circle has changed a lot too. >>9516 You should take lack of enough sleep very seriously. Sleep and wake up same time daily and aim for 6 hours minimum. Speaking from experience, it will fuck you up worst than anything. Looking tired is the least of it.

>>9518 I get 6 hours usually. Only on some sleepless nights do i get less. Trust me it's not enough. You need 7 hours of *peaceful* sleep minimum. Optimally, 8. I don't drink. Apart from cultural reasons it's because i'm really bad with addictions. If something feels good, i'll keep doing it.

>>9519 I use a sleep tracking watch. It is not as accurate as a dedicated sensor, but good enough. My REM sleep changes daily. Without it, 8 hours is necessary. With it, even 5 is enough. I did have a teacher, who did Yoga nidra and was able to function well with 2 hours of sleep daily. But Yoga Nidra works only with heavy repetition.

I wish I could disappear and delink from my former digital self and, the constraints of my real and social self completely, like a ghost. I seek isolation from the outside world. I've sent and shared photos of my real self and my creations in the past and I can't quite delete my traces of existence from the world. I can't disappear completely, past spectres always linger behind my back. Someone must have saved my pictures, my creations and my way of talking, they must be on a hunt out for me. I've left every social media but still, browsing and lurking always leaves an abstract trace. Some proprietary technologies, I can't leave yet because I'm not a NEET. I can't leave completely quite yet, I can't still go off grid because of my own desire and social constraints imposed upon me. Just today I went to a restaurant, and I started sobbing because I didn't know how an order worked. I mean, I mostly cook at home so I don't go out for anything except some work and excercise, I don't like going out. It always feels so tiring. I don't like talking to people either, they all feel so, shallow to me. We have superficial interests in common but, nothing really deep. I know people, but I wouldn't call them friends, which makes me feel a little guilt because they do seem to notice me, especially when I'm down. I have enough contacts to not be completely forgotten, but not quite enough to be a normie. I don't truly connect with people, I don't feel love for anyone and I'm fine with it being like this. The only love, or should I say awe and fear belongs to my God that I worship, fearing that I'll be born again as a dog, or a pret or a sinful soul in Naraka. I know that I'm a massive socially awkward autist and that if I ever make a new persona online that I treat as a ghost, or a disembodied voice, I know that people will link such an avatar of myself to my previous dead ghosts, and they'll find me as a real person. I'm just a few bad days away from being an lolcow, my greatest fear is that a bunch of people from like, The Sharty and KiwiFarms will find me and hunt me down ruthlessly, because I am a massive autistic nigger. They'll have all the right to doxx me and troll, even send death threats to me, because I'm a retard who should have never touched the internet in the first place and who would be foolish enough to post his creation and opinions online. Any schizo yet serious advice, Anons? Don't say to me to normiefag and observe them, I hate normies and their norms. I want to be isolated and completely forgotten by normies, and to be invisible from fellow autists and trolls, because I know that trolls will eventually track me down. I hate the internet, I wish it went down forever

>>9530 Thank you for posting here, a proper schizo is what makes an imageboard an imageboard. >I've sent and shared photos of my real self and my creations in the past and I can't quite delete my traces of existence from the world. I can't disappear completely, past spectres always linger behind my back. Someone must have saved my pictures, my creations and my way of talking, they must be on a hunt out for me. Unless you a have specific people/person whom you suspect of being on a "hunt" for you, I don't think there is anyone out for you. There's no way to completely erase all your traces unless you go through the trouble of torching a bunch of datacenters. >restaurant You're paying for the service, so it's really ask for what you want. The issue starts with casual interaction. But if a simple situation like trying to order food causes you to sob, anon, you need help. Not reddit-tier therapist/psychiatrist help, but help nonetheless. >The Sharty and KiwiFarms will find me and hunt me down ruthlessly They torment people who are fun to torment. People like CWC who responded to the trolls every time. As far as I know, if a thread on the Farms is the only internet presence you have, they have a policy of removing you from your position as a lolcow, and removing your thread. Put simply, there are more interesting characters for them to milk, so they leave you alone. >because I am a massive autistic nigger Just like all of the sharty and all of the Farms. >Any schizo yet serious advice, Anons? You're asking me? kekek

>>9459 I have never met an IRL kpop fan. Do people really like kpop ?

>>9530 >>9530 There is lot of contradictory stuff here. I get the general idea of your post, but would you mind fleshing out these thoughts better ? Then one/some of us can give meaningless advice on this.

>>9531 There are so many terms in this that I had to google !

>>9459 https://scifiinterfaces.com/2013/07/24/the-secret-of-the-tera-keyboard/ Do you guys also obsess over chording, hotkey grouping and custom commands to speed up typing ?

>>9534 Really? I thought it was rather straightforward. Stop using Google btw. >>9536 I like setting up keyboard shortcuts for things I use the most frequently, but beyond that I don't really see much point in chording and shit. It just feels like diminishing returns. My typing speed is fast enough to not be a bottleneck, I have to stop typing to think. So typing even faster won't really lead to any increase in productivity. Maybe I should think faster? Keyboard shortcuts are good in that you don't have to take your eyes off the screen to do anything. I've come to like laptops because of this (in spite of all their flaws). You can use the touchpad with your thumbs, so you don't have to take your eyes off the screen or your hands off the keyboard, unlike when using a mouse.

>>9537 Exactly. For all my typing and reading speed, I can only think slower than 60 wpm. I use some keyboard shortcuts for some latex terms, esp in equations Or common markdown used text like - [ ] But nothing else. For an editor, I keep coming back to vi and terminal. Neovim and Lua, I haven't invested the time.

>>9530 >>9531 If you stop posting for few years, people really stop caring. Things happen to people and they pretend to forget. They will steal your stories and your style. I change online identities every few years. > Doxxing and shieeet Internet was different. I had a personal blog for a very long time. Then people started DDOSING it. Hosting company got tired and kicked me out. There were solutions , but I just got tired and closed it. Now the internet is just hostile and dangerous. Well, I got tired of staring at screens too. Made myself a better life for myself.

https://youtu.be/7OvW8Z7kiws Dedicated to all my anons here.

>>9459 The India question is back here again. Building back a network will be a bitch. I still have to wind tthings down here, as well as take care of some money. Coming 2 months will be incredibly hard. But monthly salary is a strong drug.

>>9459 >>9554 I grew up doing odd jobs for money. This meant my focus on academics was not as high as it could have been. I repaired PC's, sold coffee in an expensive cafe (remember Barista's, they don't exist in India anymore as far as I know) So I was never salary driven or dependent. I still sleep on a mattress on the floor. Can easily buy a bed, just feels like a waste. My desk is handmade and so is a lot of stuff I use. Most of my salary goes into keeping relatives afloat, ones without a job. I have enough savings for a year to live comfortably without a job. My last job was comfy af, but it was also ideologically opposed to me. My main boss , while she doesn't hate me, she is a micro manager. I am a very independent worker and a very independent person. So I skip company events and lunches. My work is always complete in advance , so she cannot complaint. I cannot put my finger on what went wrong. But a series of many small things. I am also overqualified. An academic expert in my field, doing Excel level work in corporate setting. I don't dress the corporate way either. MY co workers are attractive chads and stacies running marathons and taking 5000€ vacations. Some have 100,000+ Insta followers. In academia, everyone looks and feels like a cave troll (except the social sciences, I hate those lefty hags). There is a comfy feeling in that. At the very least, I am looking forward to a month of joblessness. If things don't my way, then more. Or even return to India. The issue with India option is > Apply via Naukri, leak my details to basically every useless HR faggot. > Apply to Indian companies, negotiate with gujjus for pennies as pay. > MNC means the same Linkedin cut copy paste fake culture of Hindi medium passouts pretending to be enthusiastic about playing golf. > Academia - Teach shit to Gen Alpha fags, so you can have 2 hours a week for research But the worst of all. < Visits from parents < Calls from relatives < Go on a walk, get hit by a random car/truck/scooty/bike I need to think about all this. I need to weight my options.

>>9555 >Or even return to India. Don't. There's no need to put yourself back into this giant rat race for pennies. You're one of the lucky ones. You might have heard things might have gotten better here, but not enough to attempt something like that. >Barista's They are cafes in the mid to upper price range here: Cafe Coffee Day, Lavazza, numerous "coffee houses" and more recently: Chaayos and Third Wave Coffee. Starbucks also has their outlets here nowadays. There have been a lot of brands and companies tending to the whims of the upper middle class and upper classes in the recent years in general.

>>9556 It's all bullshit. All these cafes are bullshit. A decent pour over or french press with good beans and you get 95% of the same taste as the most expensive machines out there. I have tried them all. > Rat race Yeah, I had the same impression when I checked out jobs. I fucking hate it. Employers pay peanuts and expect quality work. Why it makes me sad is because I know we need lot of quality in many important including mine. My interactions with Embassy always form my impressions, since the employees work in Germany, but they are still living in India mentally. And the experience with them asking for a bribe just disgusted me.

>>9557 The bribery and what not, from what I've heard, has not changed one bit. The only "relief" that the common populace has seen in terms of corruption and barely functioning bureaucracy is because of digitization of services (like banking, government ID creation, filing taxes), that is, removing the human from the equation entirely. Draconian laws for business and corrupt government officers that handle that sorf of thing have been kept firmly in place with not much change, only allowing the existing oligarchs to rise further. I've also heard that they've deliberately kept the online passport services from functioning properly so that you necessarily have to pass through a human to get your work done, though I don't have any confirmation on this. This is getting a bit too much into politics, I know.

The Axiom launch was exciting. I woke up late for it, but I am happy. May this be the first step of many. I know nations will sabotage our launches, as they have before. Accidents will happen and we have to be VERY VERY CAREFUL. All that aside, this is an achievement and should be celebrated

>>9566 Good to hear comments in Hinglish, which seems to be the national language now. Does it make sense to make a Hindi thread here and help fix my Hindi anons ?

>>9567 Hinglish in official/semi-official communication makes me wince like nothing else. I want to strangle the people in the marketing agencies which use hinglish in their marketing campaigns. To me, using Hinglish is something of an insult to the Devanagari script - Hinglish is hip, cool, modern, while good old Hindi written in Devanagari script is for unpadh gawar bimaru bihari construction workers. At least, that's what I see. Maybe irrational. >Does it make sense to make a Hindi thread here and help fix my Hindi anons ? The reason Hinglish is so prevalent is it's easy to type with a standard qwerty keyboard. It is difficult to type Devanagari with one, so I wonder if there is anyone who will invest the time required to learn typing Devanagari just to post in the thread.

Idk how I came to be here. But there is a lot in my life that I don't enjoy and none of it really chosen by me. But people, habits, work tasks etc creeped in. None of which align with me. And I now find myself dealing with things I never chose to. Pointless struggles. So I am pulling myself back (though I am growing my hair and beard instead of cutting them, normally I always keep short hair and clean shaved face). Now there is this urgent need to purge all these un necessary things and people I don't care for or enjoy.

>>9627 Our people have no pride in their languages. Just heard a group of Telugu students talking. Disgust and cringe washed over me.

>>9651 There is a lot I want to say but the laws of my residential nation prevent me. > it glows a little, and religious fanatics don't have anything Everything here is a response to happenings form boards and websites long since dead. More importantly, image boards are terrible places to discuss religion. There is no point discussing religion unless you really know the person well and it is done in good faith.

>>9668 >>9651 What do you find glowy here ?

>>9668 Debate and arguments over religions is futile and done to death. But if someone wants to discuss his own religion, someone wanting to talk about the epics of Hinduism for example, I'd say that's productive, even if there is not much of interest for me/ >>9669 The first thing you see when you load up the website is Hindutva-Nazi type thing, someone who is looking for reasons to get angry or kick up dirt doesn't even have to scroll down 3 lines to find it. Becomes very easy to convince people about how people here are Hindutva Nazis.

>>9675 Nazi'sim has nothing to do with Hindutva. > Hindutva wadi's We are. > Hindutvadi cliche of left wing presstitutes If only we were as based as they accuse us of being

>>9677 >Nazi'sim has nothing to do with Hindutva Lefties think two these are equal, no joke. I haven't read either ideology, so I don't know. But the point is that their prejudices are easily confirmed when they see this, and that's why the board glows.

>>9699 This board is the last bastion of free speech. Not stupid speech like Bhachan. That said, we should think about updating the CSS and banner.

Hulk hogan is dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRtOTIykZNE Both these wrestlers are dead. My heroes are all dying one by one. I am profoundly sad right now.

>>9736 I've never been a pro-wrestling fan and I suspect I'm quite a bit younger than you, but I do sympathize. These deaths are starting to prepare me for the inevitability of seeing my childhood heroes die. Scary in a strange way. When someone close to me dies I feel sadness and I can move on and accept it. When a hero dies it's like my self belief has died, like you finally realize even heroes are flesh and blood, and you feel profoundly weak.

>>9738 >>9738 > I suspect I'm quite a bit younger than you Never assume anything on imageboards. Everyone lies. > I've never been a pro-wrestling fan I don't blame you, unless you get into the stories as a child, it doesn't make sense. The action is fake etc If you want to understand the appeal of wrestling, try this video. https://youtu.be/VYvMOf3hsGA > Your heroes I grew up in a time, when men solved problems by beating each other. Talking to each other was considered womanly and wrong. Ww did not have MMA. On the rare ocassion, we got a VHS of an old boxxing match. Hogan, Schwarzeneger , stallone etc were heroes for that reason. They presented the idea, that any problem could be solved by your brains and muscles. Hogans death is yet another reminder, that era is gone. Those ideals are gone too. Age has nothing to do with. Watch 1987 Predator and tell me that Arnold is not a badass.

Tell me your opinion on ISKCON yaro. Is it me or something feels off about them?

>>9788 Theologically, replace Jesus with Krishna, add some people love bullshit and remove the Abrahmist aspects from bible, you get ISCON. It is a weapon used to convert whites. normally ex druggies , people lost etc. I don't think it is bad for them. ISCON for all its faults is an improvement for these people https://youtu.be/GL9xqygw_Gk The temples are independent, each temple decides how it implements the teachings. Many temples get creative with the implementation. Drugs Sex Molesting people Typical stuff. Spirituality is a tricky thing when it confronts the demands and desires of the real world. Lot of fakes.

>>9798 Well it's either ISKCON or seeking professional metal therapy Was checking my symptoms and some how I have both autistic as well as ADHD symptoms. The worse part is both have conflicting symptoms. So if my autistic brain want to detailed work, my adhd won't let me work in detail. If I have to chose mental therapy, how to go that route. I don't think I can share this stuff openly with someone but sometimes it's just pathetic that I can't even do the simplest of tasks I suppose to do.

>>9801 I am on the autistic spectrum too. Not too deep to be dysfunctional. I also have ADHD. I had therapy as a kid, my teachers were dumbfounded that I could do well in subjects and then lose it suddenly. Top 1 year and then barely pass the next. Psychological therapy was absolute fail for me. This was also long long ago, maybe doctors are better now. Gabor Mattes books helped me a lot in understand what my ADHD. Regarding autism, 1. I learnt the limits of social interaction I can tolerate 2. I learnt to fake basic social competence. Say what people need to hear and shut up about the rest 3. Find outlets for my autistic urges 4. Cultivate hobbies and habits that help these conditions Moving away from parents was essential for me. My parents like many others do not allow me to live how I want, control on food control on social habits forced socialisation etc etc etc I cannot say if ISCON will help. Like I said, it depends on each temple. But even then, for internal stuff they won't. As for doctors, their incentive is money. So they are not aligned in letting you become functional. But you can only depend on yourself for your problems.

>>9459 I recently had an interview with a company to work on an AI related topic. The money was insane. As a tedpilled individual, I am always amazed that people think tech will solve their issues and unfuck their lives. The roots of these issues are usually human and tech has never worked at solving these (and never will). Even if I say yes, I have to prepare a lot for this role. With money idk what I will do. I have most of what I need and that money will probably fund relatives who leech off of me. More importantly, the company just generates AI bullshit that will tax your hardware more with no real benefits and contribute to making another generation of people brain dead.

>>9459 I cannot help but think how my antisocial tendencies are hurting my career/moneymaking prospects.

>>9803 >Even if I say yes, I have to prepare a lot for this role if you aren't looking to retire i would take the job if i were you. if not you, someone else will help them with building whatever horrific thing they're bulding to harm civilization. might as well make some money off the fall of civilization.

>>9824 There is a cost depending on your field. Either you are so good that your results speak for you Or You need basic competence. Brilliant people suck at interviews (and I suck at them too). I tend to avoid overtly social companies that need you to have Linkedin and attend meetings a lot. This is another reason that things have not worked for me with Indian companies.

>>9825 It is complicated. But I know what you mean, there is another job that I am competing with some really brilliant people for, but this one too I said yes for. If nothing else, I can poison pill projects, which is far more common that people realise.

News 1 in morning - Family dog dead. I didn't know this dog but my parents loved it and it protected them. Hit by speeding car and died within minutes. Suspicion that the car was after my dead. News 2 in Afternoon - Cousins kid hit by car after coming out of school gate. Head burst open. Dead on the spot. My family is cursed or we have a serious enemy right now.

>>9865 Cannot imagine the grief. I have decided to never have a pet dog again because of things like this. And the grief of a kid dying is just too much to put into words. Terrible day indeed.

>>9866 Weird, I replied to this but reply not posted. Bad situation with police, naturally someone working in the force was involved in nephews death. With the dog my parents did not even try, but I have never seen my parents so sad I have had lot of dogs. I used, to change cities a lot. Physical bullying was common when I was a child. My grandfather taught me to feed dogs, especially younger ones in any new place and they would protect me. This worked like a charm. But I also saw so many of them die. What pisses me off is the pointlessness of these deaths. Some idiot wants to speed, therefore an innocent should die. In both cases, the cars were in places they were not supposed to be or allowed. I was already on the way to India to help family out. Emotionally I cannot help them and my autist presence is not helpful either. But I can help with the admin and financial stuff. Still my cousin told me to not to come. Him and his wife want to handle this alone.

I woke up exhausted today with all the stuff that is going on in my life. I had this feeling that coming month will be much worst. Part of me wants to shift back to India to take care of parents. Though I have a shitty relationship with them. Wife won't be happy. She is used to german way of dressing , public display of affection when she feels like it etc. Looking for jobs, all the decent ones online don't display any salary. My friends tell me to open a Linkedin account. But Linkedin is fucking cancer. I might as well then start posting boomer memes on Facebook and kill all hopes and dreams.

>>9877 There is a purge of Indians coming to the west. Ango countries first. Has already begun. Germany will be later, luckily hate towards Islam is higher in Germany than hate towards Indians.

>teen angst in my 20s screw me

>>9881 It never stops. I am also moody these days. I wonder if its planetary

>>9886 >>9881 Probably my judgements compromised but I am feeling angry angsty since 2-3 days. Got rejected for a project. A babu said that my work is great but I am too sanghi type I feel really pissed off. Running into walls again and again. AI job I said no. It simply won't make money and seems very boring.

Strange, random musings of mine. It's been a while since I visited this forum. All the others have gone to shit. Lainchan and Petrarchan have been completely invaded by 4channers and Sharty members who spam "tranny" in every single post and constantly post ragebait. I don't even need to describe what 8kun is like right now. I've been more social in real life, in meatspace. I'm a zoomerfag so, my experience would be a lot different from yours since, from what I can tell, the userbase here seems to lean older. I've been talking more often to real people. And while I am an autist, I'm not exactly a hikikomori or a complete schizo. However, I find their replies strange and empty and I feel that my conversations and mind are empty, too. I don't know what they constantly talk about and why are they always giggling and smiling. It's something that I can't understand. Often, I feel that I have nothing to say. So, I keep to myself and withdraw into my inner fantasies. It's something my mom taught me, that people always don't really have anything to talk about, so it's best to keep one's mouth shut. <It's nothing to think about Anon you're just a fag. To answer your question, I once asked someone else as to what they talk about. They replied, "People always talk about others, and what they've gotten into. Occasionally, they'll ponder if the other person has a crush or if they have fucked and drunk shit. It's all gossip." And, I felt shocked. "How is it that people can always find so much to talk about others?" That's something I never understood. I never understood the constant pleasure trips they take, the same webseries they all watch, all the Instagram stuff they use, the IPL matches or memes they all go crazy about or, the regular trips to the movie theatre they seem to enjoy. I never did. My parents did not bring me up like them. Sometimes, I feel terribly guilty for even speaking. I feel like I should once again, withdraw completely from social lives and personae and just focus on my work again. My interests are different from theirs but, they aren't meaningful, nerdy or niche enough. Popular on the internet, but rarely heard of in real life. I feel guilty. Sometimes, people ask me, "What do you do fun?" Then, I'll respond back to them by saying "I read experimental stuff, I like math and studies and I listen to weird music." I feel that the stuff I mentioned about is lame and performative because, I don't read that often. I don't have a work or study ethic. I can't create or play music. I'm not good at coding and I have always failed at math. It also feels deeply unfulfilling because, a part of my mind just wishes that I was more involved in religion and that I should abandon nearly everything I like and to just, chant Japa and talk about God. It's a good, fulfilling and *acceptable* topic to talk about, right? I feel guilty about talking, since I'm neither good at the stuff that I claim to be interested in nor do I like the stuff others do. I don't talk about sacred and godly stuff because I'm so engrossed in wordly affairs and, I hate the sheer mundanity of normiedom. The world feels so absurd and everything feels awkward or unacceptable to talk about. I feel like the things I enjoy are, more of an image I curate for myself and are not genuine, even though I like them. I also get too obsessive about mundane stuff that isn't related to God and I feel ashamed of it. I don't know what good people talk about that is perfectly right and beneficial. Yet, I hate talking to regular people... I'm not sure what I feel. I don't know what I feel. By the way, I still browse Reddit a lot without an account like a Normie. But, that's because the wiki posts there tend to be decent and it's sort of the last places where you can still browse a forum-like experience. Especially since the Tech Bro holy grail, StackOverFlow's userbase is horrifyingly passsive-agressive and, the entire website is behind CloudFlare anyways so it's automatically a no-go from me. It's shit but still, considering the fact that Forums for the most part have been completely gutted out, I still use it. It's mostly for tech troubleshooting or following motorsport/piracy discussion since Dread has nothing beyond drugs and tech. The site's gone to shit but, Old Reddit is still usable without Javascript and doesn't give me captchas. Not to mention that there's nothing on 4chan that isn't on Danbooru or Reddit so, there's that. The site quality has completely gone to the dogs though. I wish I could quit browsing Reddit, but there seems to be no real alternative I can find for now, Anons. Please suggest me an alternative since I mostly use it for motorsports and tech, nothing else. It's the last thing that keeps me tethered into normie trends and stuff, so I want to completely sever that connection too. Feel free to call me a fag for still using it but I want nothing but to quit it, I'm just struggling to find any other space to lurk and observe and well, troubleshoot. Any tips for finally kicking the bucket? Feel free to insult me for my message's length and my bad writing style. I know I should write shorter stuff. I am after all, an effete and androgynous Europhile who is too scared to get out of his house or do anything besides trying to make his CV look good. My mom sometimes feels disappointed that I don't have masculine qualities. I don't feel very comfortable like that and I don't feel comfortable telling her. She'd think that I'm gay, even though I'm not. That's it, really.

>>9902 What album cover is this ? > Often, I feel that I have nothing to say. So, I keep to myself and withdraw into my inner fantasies. It's something my mom taught me, that people always don't really have anything to talk about, so it's best to keep one's mouth shut. Your mom taught you well. Simply means you are have grown beyond your social circle. < "People always talk about others, and what they've gotten into. Occasionally, they'll ponder if the other person has a crush or if they have fucked and drunk shit. It's all gossip." Dumb people talk people, smart people talk ideas. > That's something I never understood. I never understood the constant pleasure trips they take, the same webseries they all watch, all the Instagram stuff they use, the IPL matches or memes they all go crazy about or, the regular trips to the movie theatre they seem to enjoy. I never did. My parents did not bring me up like them. If your soul feels distressed, then you need not suffer through it. This is optional after all. In your workplace it might be different in the future. > "What do you do fun?" Then, I'll respond back to them by saying "I read experimental stuff, I like math and studies and I listen to weird music." They don't care about answer, they don't want to know you (most of them anyway). Keep a general meaningless normie answer. > I feel that the stuff I mentioned about is lame and performative because, I don't read that often. I don't have a work or study ethic. I can't create or play music. I'm not good at coding and I have always failed at math. Imposter syndrome is normal anon. All you can do is work towards it. Talk is cheap. Action is not. And action though requires more effort than talking, it feels more fulfilling too. < a part of my mind just wishes that I was more involved in religion You cannot force it. Simple as that. Visit temples. Read texts. Listen to satsangs. Find what makes sense to you and why. Then go deeper into that idea. Talking about religion and spirituality is hard. These things are tough to express without sounding like a druggie hippie. > I hate the sheer mundanity of normiedom. That is the pain of your soul, screaming for you to strive towards something better. > The world feels so absurd and everything feels awkward or unacceptable to talk about. I feel like the things I enjoy are, more of an image I curate for myself and are not genuine, even though I like them. I also get too obsessive about mundane stuff that isn't related to God and I feel ashamed of it. Why do you think about how the world will see you ? What is the reason ? > I don't know what good people talk about that is perfectly right and beneficial. Nothing. The only meaningful conversations are ones you have with yourself. < There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself. > By the way, I still browse Reddit Hackernews is better. I have not used it in a while sadly. > I don't have masculine qualities. Picrel is Krishna. He is not jacked with 6 packs etc. Men of different kinds, each of them have their strengths and uses in the world. I suggest the "Krishna Gopeshvara" series. > hurr durr you guys booomers. Boomers vs Zoomers. Age doesn't matter outside of basic mental development and talking in meaningless terms that kids invent.

>>9902 Much of your worries look nothing out of the ordinary to someone who has a half working brain. I'd think the right way of going about things would be to consolidate ideas that you like and taking part in them, until you get good enough and grow confident. It might be out of touch with what others get up to but, who gives a shit? Ideally, you shouldn't.

>>9912 The moment people start to give a shit, its over for them. They may face defeat much later, but the fall starts right here. Being shameless or disconnected is necessary for achieving anything.

>>9908 >What album cover is this ? It's Gris' 'Il était une fôret'. Depressive Black Metal, quite theatrical. Not exactly a fan of metal in general, much less stuff with such harrowing and vulgar lyrical content but, I find that there's a strange and hopeless grandeur in this album. >Your mom taught you well. Simply means you are have grown beyond your social circle. Thanks Anon :) I always felt very self conscious of this trait of mine. My mom's a real fighter, came from a really fucked up household. She taught me a lot of good things. >Imposter syndrome is normal anon. All you can do is work towards it. Talk is cheap. Action is not. And action though requires more effort than talking, it feels more fulfilling too. My biggest flaw is procrastination, constant daydreaming and, my inability to stop overthinking. Not exactly unique but, it is crippling. Thinking of a better life, but feeling too scared to do so and you just daydream about it instead. It is something I have to fix, somehow. I will shut down the part that always overthinks and just, do shit. It's my only way out to the path I want to be on. >Nothing. The only meaningful conversations are ones you have with yourself. Really? I always felt overly conscious about it. I was always told by others that conversations with yourself, are a general way to developing full blown psychosis and schizophrenia. But, you said that true motivation comes from withing and never from outside. I guess that's another flaw of mine, I always keep my plans to myself and never speak them aloud, lest I get hurt or scolded. >Why do you think about how the world will see you ? What is the reason ? I'm not sure either Anon. Maybe it's because I feel like a hollow, sensualist and material shell rather than a being. I always want to not be a failure and I fear being hurt or brutally scolded or manhandled again. I did stupid shit when I was younger and I still have scars from it. >You cannot force it. Simple as that. Visit temples. Read texts. Listen to satsangs. Find what makes sense to you and why. Then go deeper into that idea. I see. My family is always into a strange idea of, taking stuff too literally, almost to a point of near ultra-orthodoxy. I mean sure, Muslims tend to be even more strict but I find that, I don't feel like my parents are too different from them either when it comes to beliefs. I was always told as to how the other Mathas are inferior to Advaita Vedanta. But I was never told about the constructed philosophical arguments that Adi Shankaracharya composed, to prove his points against the Buddhists and Jains, if that makes sense? Almost, too literal in their meaning, it feels Abrahamic in a weird way, even though they pride on themselves to not be like Christians, Jews, Muslims and so on. >These things are tough to express without sounding like a druggie hippie. The Grateful Dead isn't a bad band, at all. My biggest fear isn't to look like a painful, clueless hippie but rather, an annoying ISCKONite who genuinely believes that Vishnu is an avatar or Krishna, if that makes any sense. >Hackernews is better. I have not used it in a while sadly. I see. I don't use it though, given the fact that it is behind CloudFlare and, said service doesn't work on GNU IceCat. I also browse without Javascripat enabled so, there's that. I tend to use TOR for posting here though. I'm relatively interested in keeping my anonymity and privacy secure because I had been groomed online, by creepy women years ago and I practically doxxed myself by revealing my face, everything. I don't want to ever get manipulated like that again. I never make accounts for this reason. I fear that Linux Mint is also tracking me. I want to completely stop browsing all social media and, anything that uses something similar to CloudFlare and isolate myself, lest I ever be found again. Again, stylometry is a thing but, my aim isn't to find better social media or forums. My aim is to stop using anything that has trackers. I however, still fear that my writing style would be a massive giveaway. >Picrel is Krishna. He is not jacked with 6 packs etc. Men of different kinds, each of them have their strengths and uses in the world. I'm aware that men of different kinds have their own uses in the world. Men have a little bit of the feminine in them and, women have a bit of the masculine in them too. I just happen to have much more femininity inside of me than on average, and I'm trying to accept that. However, I feel like I've internalized certain expectations. I want to be more, pretty and have longer hair, soft skin and more, flamboyant expression or hell, even fucking dress up in girly clothing for all I know of. However, I'm not allowed to do so due to religious expectations and the desire of a certain 'masculine respectability'. I can't grow my hair, shave, get dolled up or do other stuff like that since I live with my parents, because I work a poorly-paying job. I don't have much autonomy but hey, at least I'm not a neckbeard or some whacko fetishist. But, my idealized self was never some macho armyman who happened to be jacked, malkhamb enjoyer at all. But rather, an educated, academic aesthete. But again, my family and relatives say for the protection of masculinity in Hindu Dharma, it is important that I be very masculine to preserve traditional values.... I don't know how to feel about this. I feel emasculated since people online always talk about long stories of how strong, Muslim men are abducting Hindu girls and, I feel ashamed in my lack of physicality, my frail physique, my interest in western stuff and my latent sensual tendency. I feel castrated. Like, I'm less of a man by doing so. My biggest insecurity though, is the fact that I fear that I will end up marrying a woman who will laugh at me, call me a fag and, treat me as lesser or, be thoroughly disgusted by my sensual, effeminate self. My mother's insistance on early marriage isn't helping me to alleviate my fears of inadequacy and degeneracy. I do love Krishna though, he's both wise yet playful, and has a graceful quality to him. I've always been a Krishna bhakt. >Age doesn't matter outside of basic mental development and talking in meaningless terms that kids invent.

[Expand Post]

I see. I just felt that by being a younger person here, working a shitty dead-end job. I felt that my sheer presence here would disgust you people here. I felt, ashamed of posting my feelings here, especially since I always feel tracked and watched by the internet and computers. >>9912 >I'd think the right way of going about things would be to consolidate ideas that you like and taking part in them, until you get good enough and grow confident. It might be out of touch with what others get up to but, who gives a shit? Ideally, you shouldn't. You're saying, that I'm free to do whatever I want in life? That, I don't have to be embarassed about my interests and, try to consolidate ideals and stuff I like? I mean when I was a kid, I always feared studying or even affection. I feared that if I got praise at first, it would turn to scoldings and beatings later on, since I was constantly bullied hy others. I guess, that's why I always retreat and hide my ideas, because I feel that my very existence is going to inconvenience others. >>9913 >Being shameless or disconnected is necessary for achieving anything. So, don't think of what others are doing or thinking.... Just, do it? Is that my biggest problem? Is that it?

>>9918 > Gris' 'Il était une fôret' I love me some good DSBM. So far this album is fun. > constant daydreaming and, my inability to stop overthinking. Not exactly unique but, it is crippling. Always be doing. Karma'ing. Thought -> Action -> Feedback from action Rinse and repeat. Don't worry about the end goal. < Conversations with self Work will take care of this. External world noise and responsibilities will silence your inner voice. Still take 20 mins or so daily to sit with yourself. > Always want to not be a failure What you did when young doesn't matter. Kids experiment and do stupid shit. As an adult, your outcomes and the fate is not in your control. So just let go. Since you express interest in religion, read some texts. Your doubts are very basic and answered already. The books are cheap too or even free.

>>9918 > My family is always into a strange idea of, taking stuff too literally, almost to a point of near ultra-orthodoxy. Classical Hinduism needs updating, smritis for the current post Industrial age we are in now. Generally, Gurus are supposed to do this.

However, I'm not allowed to do so due to religious expectations and the desire of a certain 'masculine respectability'. Way more common than people think. A gay friend made me aware of it. Moving out and away from family will help you. > say for the protection of masculinity in Hindu Dharma, it is important that I be very masculine to preserve traditional values Dharma is to be practiced, your dharma is based on your traits. Not everyone needs to be a physical kshatriya. Modern warfare is as much memeatic and psychological as anything else. More importantly, it may or may not be your dharma. > I feel emasculated since people online always talk about long stories of how strong, Muslim men are abducting Hindu girls It is all a psy op. Not to mention, people who do stupid things, win stupid prizes. > marrying Whom you marry and where you live, are the 2 most important decisions in your life. It is important to learn to judge a potential partner so as to not fuck that decision up. I cannot stress this enough. We don't discuss dating as a strategic game enough on this website. > by being a younger person here, working a shitty dead-end job WE were all that at some point and some still are. No harm in it. It is a phase we go through. > So, don't think of what others are doing or thinking.... Just, do it? Literally Yes.

>>9459 Called home. Parents pissed at my joblesness. I said I want to come home. They don't want me home. They want me to keep working and keep sending money home. Pretty disgusted right now.

Weird.dream. Was.typing to you guys and wife. As war was going on between India and US and then China and India dropped nukes on each other. In was outside Bombay and saw the planes. Ran inside though I wanted to see the cloud. Laptopnand phone are.emp safe. Had water saved and some food.. Heard the first shockwave outside and though in was safe, electricity gone. I was going to be bored AF.

Strange subreddit I found. https://old.reddit.com/r/GoodGirlsCommunity/top/?sort=top&t=all I can't tell if they're being serious, or of it's a fetish sub for women, or if it's a fetish sub for men LARPing as women. They capitalize their husband's pronouns ("I love Him so much and He is my entire world") which i found to be strange. >>9949 Kek at pic #2.
