>>6959 > How easy it is to fall into the wagecucking spiral. I am a wagie. My job kills my best time, ideas and inspiration. I should be doing so much more with my time, resources and brain.

There are very few things with absolute value. You can think about money as value and the value of something in money, but then you go around in circles. Most common answer is gold or some kind of physical asset. But that is still a circular answer. One that references to another and offers no absolute value. The only thing with an absolute value would be time. Time once passed cannot be reclaimed (atleast in the laws of physics we know of). The easiest way to make a decision is to give your time a monetary value and decide how much you lose or gain with it. Making decisions with this , for me atleast, helps me keep it objective. Will the new ultra pro max super phone save me any time ? How much time ? Is the worth of that time more than the cost of the phone ? Will investing in hobby be worth it ? I love time spent on hobby more than I do the alternative (not working on hobby, passively watching something etc). How to think about savings ? Is my present saving costing me my future ? As in, is the amount of money saved causing me to miss something in present that I would like ? But why insist on present and not future ? Because the value cannot be determined for certain. Money changes value. Things change and what you think had value, may not anymore. The present on the other hand does have value.

>>6959 > Wagecucking https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/charles-bukowski-anger-letter-9-to-5-work/ I needed money for insurance, for decent food etc. I was eating canned food and living very frugally. Paying off family loans and paying for relatives mistakes. Along came a job, that offered me decency in return for killing my brain for a project. So I took it. It is very easy to lose oneself in ones job. You spend 8 hours with work and workmates. They influence you more than your family. It is easy to think you are defined by your job. I do something that I fundamentally disagree with at a personal level. But it pays well, so I sell my time and values. But it is not me. Maybe someday I will escape it ? Maybe not. Every choice has a price. But the limits of our lives are decided at our birth or in the formative years itself. The rest is negotiating what is possible within these limits. I cannot give you an answer because I don't know the initial conditions of your life. You know that maybe (though most people these days don't) .

>>6959 > Social life / Work on oneself For me its 1/7. Once a week I meet a good friend. I try to meet other friends once a month or once in two month. I meet family once a year. More only if there is something urgent like a death. I avoid online chatting like meaningless Watsapp 100%. Some friends share memes or political news. But online conversations are very meaningless in my opinion. If you guys have better answers, I am all ears. > Euro crashes 50-60% value wiped . Europoors don't have disposable spendable money anymore. Without its status as a high end Market, Europe has nothing to offer.

The course for Maths uptil 12th is a lot or atleast used to be for me. One could pass ofcourse. But it was in my opinion impossible to remember it all and understand it too. So I had to use flashcards to not forget what I already knew. Now I feel the same way about everything. - Lessons from books I read - Lessons from experiences I had - Languages I know (after the 4th one, its really hard) and their vocabulary - Maths and physics Do I need to remember all this ? NOPE. NOT AT ALL

>>6969 I will find some program like anki or something to remember stuff. Formulae, facts, vocab etc. To keep my working memory healthy. Even shudh Hindu/sanskrit/mantra etc.

Accidentally said, "You too," after someone said thanks. God, it still hurts. And that was only the first botched social interaction today.

>>6970 Anki is good for that. I used it to expand English vocab awhile back, although that fell through as I realized I already have a broader vocab than most people. Was using words nobody understood, and so in trying to seem smart I just appeared retarded.

>>6980 You and everyone else should practice not caring . It is an essential ingredient in success

Fucking Delhi fags Yaaar Bhaiiiii Broooo Fucking useless assholes came to my neighbourhood. This is not noida and yet. These cunts dont imrpove. Putting punjabi after 12.

>>6970 Memories are often a curse. I have to practice detachment from myself. Not being a reaction to your own past is a superpower. At each new stage, I pretend I am a new person. This is not possible with all habits. I still judge cars from their mileage lol. But still.

There is a rise in self pity and self victimisation these days. From popular books to TV's, there is this idea, that success, fame, companionship is owed to people. Hence you see lonely Jap authors in book stores and Tiktoks making the dumbest shit look like a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions. Except it is not. Your actions do not lead to rewards beyond a very small and immediate extent. Sure, waking up, exercising and eating well will make you feel good or even prevent cancer to some extent. But you are not the hero of your story. There is no story and you are no hero. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=RaZ0LnkMITw

I had a dream that I wanted to give entrance exams again. I have passed engineering already, I already work. And still, that part of my brain thinks that getting a higher rank in a meme exam will solve my life's problems.

The company was family owned. I did good work, added more value directly than all other employees combined. But I did not have the same caste and surname as the owner. So my progression was limited, as were my benefits. Owner treated me better than others, knowing that I was the golden goose. But for him all employees were still servants of the family. Being in a family business, I was competing not on my results, but who could suck the owners dick and his family. People would be jealous not because I did a good job on a given task but because XYZ person praised me for it. I got tired eventually and left the job. I miss the work the most, I had real freedom there and the work was fulfilling, to grow portfolio's and have hands on experience with management and not just sitting in front of a PC. But working with gutkha spitting boomer uncles with -ve knowledge was very harmful to my psyche and social life. Absolutely corrupt and animal like in their behavior and choices. Almost every 2nd person was having an affair of some kind or the other. I deleted all contacts from that era from my phone.

>>7139 Too Indian yaro >>6959 Started working in an almost all female job. I think its altered my hormones I literally can't stop jerking like I'm back in high school. Thirsting for desi gand.

>>7144 Happened in India only. Though German job experiences aren't terribly different. > all female job. Mine too. Though I don't feel horny around idiotic females tbh. The idea of reproducing with such beings is repulsive. I feel more like Kazuma than a wolf among-st sheep.

Indian male polish female couple triggers btit in Poland

>>7172 Lmfao. Poles don't seem to give a shit but seething Americans in muh huwhite paradise care.

>>7172 the pole girls are standing up for the guy, but he isn't. He should have knocked a few teeth out of the muttmerican. Pathetic, really.

>>7179 They usually want you to do that. In many cases, police is looking for an excuse to deport browns who date whites. >>7174 Mostly polish people are nice.

I find lot of things funny that zoomers find cringe. I find lot of things cringe or strange that zoomers love I was born into a different world, zoomers were born into the info-wars. They grew up bombarded by propaganda, local and global. They understand the significance and danger of things like andrew tate or 'chadtag', while to me he is nothing more than a jokers or flavor of the day retards. I don't feel like I have much or anything to add to the world or even want to. Outside of paying some money to my fav causes and doing my chores (festivals, rituals etc) I don't have anything left to contribute. Zoomers will do their own thing. Gen Alpha is entirely something else, esp in India. I cannot imagine what is the future for them.

>>7207 >I cannot imagine what is the future for them >"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." Probably horrible.

Indian women are terrible at flirting.

>>7217 Yes. Because they never had to. Men would throw themselves at them and they would choose. Compared to women from other backgrounds, they stand no chance when it comes to flirtation, dating, aesthetics etc.

Reached home now. My travel gear is done and dusted. I def need a new laptop apart from my work laptop, but the idea of two different devices also irritates me. But so does the idea of having personal stuff on my work laptop. Replying from trains and airports is not fun. I need to find a different way of doing this.

>>7230 Two separate ones are a good idea for a variety of reasons. Do you also have a desktop?

>>7235 Very old desktop on verge of death. Old Surface pro 7 that is somewhat usable still, I can keep using it but its not good for travel. Too much tech though, e reader laptop/tablet for personal use work laptop diary+pens etc Clothes, undies, toothbrush It is a lot. The issue is, tech just keeps increasing. But yeah, separating work and personal is important.

Listening to Rogan with Junger brought back memories, when my grandfather died, we all men had the same dream. That he was walking away from us, from his home into strange streets, telling us not to follow and eventually we lost him. Everyone in my family has a habit of seeing their dead ancestors when they are about to die. लगता है म्रित्यु के पश्चात पित्र आते हैं आत्मा को लेने।

Women cannot conceive the abstract without situating it relative to their own experience. Women have no essential essence.

Kannadigas and their anti Hindi Seethe is really dumb and often has the opposite effect of what they desire.

>>7271 I saw some example like when women play with barbie they think how they would behave in that playing situation. Women can't take persona easily When man play with batman, they take the batman persona and think how batman will behave in that situation while playing. Idk if was able explain what I'm trying to tell.

>>7269 https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/ I hate answering such questions. But in the 0.01% chance that you are idiotic enough to not google your own questions, here it is. Anyway, German economy is doomed. And unless you speak German, you won't make it. Given your English, it doesn't look good for you.

So exhausted, can't do anything other than lie on the couch. Did not cook, just eating watermelon.

>>7383 Starting to feel this more and more. Wagecucking is so insidious. I like making money but now I have actual things to do in my free time and no energy to do them. Being the newest hire means the shittiest shifts. Accidentally made myself too useful and find myself being pulled everywhere. Working with all women is fucking terrible sometimes. Politics in a RETAIL job is fucking insane, have drama to sort out tomorrow because of my failure to fix someone else's fuckup. Woman in charge won't lay down the law and wants to appease, fucking retards fuck up the store and I can't say shit cuz she won't act. >>7277 Yep, this is what I mean exactly. Men aspire to the heroic, women want the heroic to become them. This is why every male fantasy the man achieves something and becomes great, whereas every female fantasy the woman achieves nothing but is still handed greatness. >>6959 There are so many Indians here now I realize how disconnected from the country I am. I don't like what wealth has made Indians become. I think India was better off socially under Indira. I've really neglected my education. Need to read more often and more challenging material. Tried getting into reading with a pop economics book, couldn't make it halfway through the drivel. A study of the implementation of socialism is essential to the right, as is developing a proper intellectual ecosystem that goes beyond memebooks. Now that this computer is dying, I might revive my old one and transfer some books over. There are two ideas that seemingly contradict eachother in the new right - 1 - voting is stupid because democracy is flawed 2 - the current political system is the illusion of consent, and all the important decisions are not voted on Will try to answer some of these. There was an excellent article I had saved years ago on the transition of American foreign policy under Kissinger to a completely undemocratic and opaque system by high level appointed officials, will try to find it again.

>>7390 Three books on the last section - The Managerial Revolution by Burnham Leviathan and It's Enemies by Francis After Liberalism by Gottfried I have other misc thoughts on things I will post later

Slowly becoming more unhinged. Fuck Canada, this place is a joke country. Indians girls dating Kalus now. I feel like I'm living in the fucking ghetto now despite this being a once affluent neighbourhood. Threatened by a violent crackhead today. Fucking third world tier.

>>7390 I have been a wagecuck for so long. Started with PC repairs and tutions for cunty rich kids. Helped me cover costs throughout collage. Now Idk what to do when I don't have work outside of few days. Work leaves me with 1-2 hours of freetime. When this time is rare, It is precious so I plan it and execute it well. When it is abundant, I don't plan it or do anything properly. The money helps ofcourse >>7407 Remember, it is Canada's immigration policy to get the trash of India, Pakistan and others. It is not Indians who have become shittier, Canada just imports the worst of the worst and punishes the hard working smart ones.

>>7383 Taking few days off. The fatigue is real.

Pakis in meltdown mode when they get bit by the rabid dog they raised lmao

>>7390 > Current political system One of the problem I've seen with the Indian political system is that politicians don't have any ideology. There only ideology is to go to party which benefits (whether monetary or other) them the most. Even if US political system is a cesspool but atleast their politicians have some ideology and they stick to it most of the time.

> Started studying about climate change > Did my B.Tech in Civil Engineering. Can easily get a job which will pay me millions through corruption > It disgust me so decided to go into research around water resource engineering and do MS in this field. Is this a good idea? I know I will paid in pennies and research is like 24x7 time work but I think my life would be much more fulfilled. > Should I just prepare for some exam during my MS that land me a a job in this corrupted field or stick to research but disappoint my family but make myself happy?

>>7431 Water shortages will be a huge issue in coming years and serious hydro researchers will be worth a lot. Learn GIS, hydro simulations etc Join any consultancy for 2 years or so then get back into research. Have a good proposal with 1 years worth of work ready to go by the time you apply for a doctorate

>>6959 >mummy meri shadi kardo may june july me LMFAO

>>7432 You don't know how better you made my day with this advice. Most of the times people tell me to earn as much money early on and later do whatever. Which sounds nice in theory but in practical very difficult to get out of spiral.

>>7432 If Economy stayed stable, I would like to shift to Japan else Singapore. Either Tokyo University or NUS/NTU. Singapore has opportunities while Japan has nice weather + people are very peaceful.

>>7383 >>7418 I have worked 12 hour shifts these past few days, nearly this entire week Had targets but I'm either too incompetent or the targets are impossible. No more extra hours anymore though in the coming week At least i made time for exercise in spite of all of this so it's fine.

>>7437 2025 will be different. No hope in 2024. Things will be bad this year. Japanese masters and PhD programs are brutal. >>7436 See if you can talk to Prof Supratic Gupta of IIT Delhi regarding Japan. If you are polite enough he does entertain genuine questions.

>>7460 Only thing I understood was miner kraft/minecraft / mein kamf

Call me old fashioned, but I like doing my own reading and more importantly doing my own comprehension. I don't mind plug-ins or services that read out articles or books to me. I am very choosy with my sources, who do analysis. This means reading primary source news myself. But reading news websites in most cases is simply not possible with ad blockers. Without ad blockers, the internet is just un usable. Paying for most websites is cuckery imo, when journalists get paid to shill opinions anyway, why pay for paid think then ? So AI is the only sane option. Adapt Overcome

Nobody will read, so here is a Youtube video, explaining it via games and shows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmi_6D6vwBQ

Sometimes I think I have posted some reply, some other anon makes a reply and I wonder why he wrote that when I already wrote this. Then I see I haven't posted. Do watch "The secret life of walter mitty" a movie about maladaptive daydreaming.

>>7519 if nobody will read it, nobody will watch it either. Those who still retain reading comprehension are the one still watching long essays on YouTube

Shitty opening but atleast we got these.

>>7588 You mean Pakistan. Afghanistan has more self awareness. May Bonganon migrate somewhere safe and sensible.

>>7575 Im loving this meme.

Seeing Bangladeshi's celebrate this is funny. The actually think they have won something lol ! It also underscores how dangerous narrative wars are and how dangerous it is being under their spell. Truly Maya is very dangerous.

>>7591 I meant more like a FOB for USAF to act in China and ez access to the golden triangle

>>7594 That is currently Pakistan. US Troops have a base in Balochistan, most probably the missile use in Iran assassination was launched from there. Pakistani's have sold themselves back to the American's now. Though I know your point. But I want to be accurate here. Bangladeshi's have confirmed for the full world , that they are Mleech dogs.

Worst day of my life yet. > Got admission in masters >The professors I wanted to research under were > The only option for guide preference is the professor that's researching on something I don't want to work on. > Time schedule is a huge pile of horseshit > Woke up at 3am, no food and water till yet. I'm feeling like killing myself but dad has paid a lot of money for this so I'll persist.

>>7611 Fucking typo > All professor except one were full

>>7612 what are you researching in

>>7613 > Water Resource Engineering I wanted to go into hydro climatology or agricultural side but the professor works on contamination transport. It's nice if someone trying to study the heavy metal shit water punjab has but I've studied Climate model like a slut swallow dicks Met the professor, he was nice though :3

>>7611 >>7615 Sometimes it's not that bad. Same thing happened to me and I ended up liking the topic more than my original one.

>>7615 Learn Python , C++ and/or Fortran. Learn basic bash as well since its necessary for HPC. Doesn't matter if you study under ground water flow or over ground flows. You can use a good masters in each topic to get into climate modelling. >>7616 जो मिले वह प्रसाद good motto to accept what you get and enjoy it with an open minded. Truly good advice.

I had forgotten about Psyho Pass. Idk why. It was a good show I remembered. Watching it again, references to Ghost in the Shell and Golden Bat made me happy. Lot of the sub plots were expertly presented. But now I know why I had the meh feeling. If Makashima is smart enough to rise above a need for the sitting or fitting in it, if she is smart enough to rise above the need for company, then he has no need to prove anything. Instead like every lover boy, he needs to fight his Husbandfoo. Being the best at anything or being the smartest IS LONELY. It is the price and the privilege you pay. Gay ass wannabe anime writers. This is the "I am sheldon" version of anime. Sybil system is objectively good. Given the tech forward nature of our system, it is a likely future for us.

>>7624 Thinking about rewatching Darker than Black. If anyone else is interested we can post our thoughts here.

>>7616 Nvm, there was a mistake. The professor I wanted to work under wants me to work with them. Although I've already submitted my preference but he is willing to talk to other professor regarding this. Got call from another professor, now I have surplus of options lol

>>7665 > This retardation can't be serious It should be me who should select which project to work under. This guy buttfucked me after giving hope.

>>7665 Welcome to Academia anon. It only gets worst after your masters and even worst after your PhD. That said, , dedicating yourself to an interesting topic is amazing. Take what you get and keep working. The underlying physics is not very different. >>7650 I haven't heard this anime name in years and years. I will check out epi. I don't remember liking the plot much tbh.

The whole Vinesh Phogat episode shows how retarded most Indians are - Commenting with 0 knowledge and 100% confidence - Rules should bend because mah emotions reeeeeee - Conspiracy because I don't like results, even though past occurrences mostly agree with current results So much attachment to outcome, in a country that should have more understanding of Karmic principles. And FFS, who the fuck takes Chetan Bhagat seriously ! What the actual fuck !

Really loving this tinnitus music after being exposed to ultra loud sounds for the second day in a row I like those industrial earplugs but I seldom have them on me when needed used to take them when I expected loud music took them to college fest back then music was ultra loud to the point my "kuch nhi hota yaar" friend asked to leave the tent because it was too loud. the music was nearly too loud even through the plugs. The guy later asked me if I had another pair because it might be useful on his tractor (engine too loud) lel wish I had a mobile phone case which carried shit like this, a small blade and a few other items that become invaluable in unlikely situations That, and I'm afraid of some retard pulling them out of my ear just to prove a point negative pressure caused by that cannot be good, it makes the ears hurt to the point I wonder when they will start bleeding. >>7695 I was talking to family who are now experts at this Apparently she was up all night shedding weight for the match I told them that's the way things go in combat sports, they shed as much weight as they can through water weight etc and you have to do the same thing they're doing or else you'll be fighting someone much stronger than you I've seen people IRL lose a few kgs in a week or two leading up to the fight they do everything they can Weren't convinced even in the end they thought the crew could still do something or that they did something wrong I don't see why me or anyone else would be better at the weight game than literal Olympian athletes and their crews

>>7695 Whole Vinesh Phogat situation is sad. All her competitors were shedding weight for like 2 years while she was protesting to get a little justice for her juniors. Due to political shit, she had to force herself to fight in 50kg instead of 53kg. So she had to lose weight in 2 months. She somehow qualified for the competition. During the finals, she didn't sleep, eat or drink water whole night, she kept exercising reducing her weight little by little. But in the end, she lost by 50.1kg Other competitors literally puked out their food, cut out their elastic under clothes, cut their hairs. But when Vines tried to puke by putting finger in her throat, nothing came out. Vines asked for few minutes so they could come up with any plans but the committee said rules are rules. After that she was hospitalized for severe dehydration.

>>7704 Get wax earplugs anon. Buy small case to keep a lair in your keychain always

>>7704 Western MMA fighters have a dedicated doctor just to fine tune this aspect. They start 8 weeks before a fight. Oh well. She also chose this category herself since she couldn't make it anywhere in the 53. Either way, we need better doctors. Western Olympic doctors get paid 6 figures. So boils down to more institutional support. And atheletes who qualify for their positions with merit

>>7710 Where do you get your news ?

>>6959 man I am feelin like I am getting into some deep mental hole day by day ,I just graduated with engineering degree and I am a certified engineer as I am unemployed too ,my life is going fuckin nowhere ,baap wouldn't give money to go on a hike or something because muh mera paisa hai etc etc ,my mental health is fucked up ,I have no interest in hobbies that I used to do such as running ,the only interest of mine is to jerk off and lay in couch whole day ,man fuck my life

>>7718 Stop jerking off and start working out. Life is that simple.

>>7718 Uncertainty is the biggest bitch. But your baap is right. Focus on finding job. Other time workout , read etc. Make a daily timetable. Money is good anon. Wage slave away and join the club.

>>7718 Also congrats >>7719 How is your job going ?

>>7721 Meh. It's retail work so it's boring but other than that it's fine. No crackheads lately but there has been a massive management fuck up that might result in charges being laid for fraud. Ended up being good for me since I have more hours and more leverage, and am being groomed for a promotion. Problem is that I want to be out by December and don't want this shit to be my life. >>7715 It's worse since she is rehydrating and dehydrating in between matches. MMA fights only have to dehydrate and peak once every few months. I also think IV doping etc. are way more common and bigger teams are better at hiding it. Vinesh was to compete for Gold against a girl who regularly competed at 53kg as well. Good dietitians and weight cutting regimes can only account for so much, as the body is still under an immense amount of strain. India needs to take the Olympics more seriously and stop enabling literal rapist unkills. Every time India takes a step forward I remind myself how retarded a good portion of the population is.

>>6959 Every 2-3 weeks one of my distant cousins will send me some comedic reel from Instagram or Reddit about how happy the lives of indians are. I see videos of Bill Gates drinking tea at some random porikis stand and cute jeetas wearing skirts that rise an inch higher every year, etc. and I sometimes feel like I'm missing out on real life, as in the spontaneous nature of how most people back there live. But then I go there for the holidays and I literally do the exact same things as I do here when on holiday: drink, watch anime, eat shit food or order, sleep. I can't for the life of me figure out how do they do it, I visited Delhi once when I was younger looking for a job and it constantly felt like I was getting scammed by literally everybody, something inside me was burning to be let out and just fucking gut everyone and set fire to everything. haven't been there since. then I reflect on how horrifying my life was before moving out of that shithole and try not to break down. >>6966 if only everyone else thought this way lmao

>>7716 Latest episode of newsance, which was sad instead of being funny. People hate it cuz it makes fun of tv media and modi. But I find it funny. YouTube channel is Newslaundry. As the name suggests, it does "dhulai" of news channels.

>>7747 are u a foid?

I have had a recurring dream for a while now (few years) I go for a walk in my city of choice (100% European white) and on the outskirts, I find a river, with Indian shops. One of them is a small shiv temple. I pray and come out, found a dal bati wala and eat there a plate with churma. Not my first dream. Previously too I dreamt of a shiv temple along a random road. When I went there, I really found a Shiv temple there.

Forced to follow GAE laws. - Your posts train AI - Create blog, Get noted by feds and fucked for it - Others will use it to train their AI etc - Write for news website, get banned by GOI from entering India. What have iterations of InCh and BHCH achieved ? * directionless discussions that go nowhere * low quality rants that make Reddit look good * copy paste from other platforms without any addition or original takes Some anon uses Newslaundry as his source for news. I have nothing against the anon, but he was factually wrong on his take. Then based on that he had opinions. And then you are supposed to reply to that. It feels like being a coaching teacher to a bunch BhCh is a whole website full of anons like that. Garbage in == Garbage out. What is the point of posting ? All threads lost.

>>7766 https://defenceforumindia.com/community/

>>7760 I know that this is the root of my problem. But I can only bury my past, my over thinking helps me cope about my lack of accomplishments and my failures. >>7749 And then there are people like these, never had to fucking struggle with anything. Life goes as smooth as a water droplet on an extremely heated pan. For them the struggle is to how to complete their work before deadline, that's their life. Even if they fail they shrug it off. > Are you a foid? No wonder rapes happen every second in this country, you mentality is rotten down to the root of your existence. I don't need to explain how your brain went to this question after reading my post. Don't excuse that cuz of long hair in picrel, I'm going for Penguiz0 look.

>>7768 Achievements are meaningless. As someone who achieved a lot, it is mostly a result of supportive circumstances. Ofcourse, you need to work hard too. I know it sounds like I am being insensitive, but just do your part and keep moving forward. Success and failure really are independent of you.

>>7768 You sound very spiteful and neurotic. To be blunt, I've seen probably an 80% correlation with people that have received the short end of the stick in life who are painfully aware of it, and having an attitude like this, whether it be height, looks, money etc. I'm not trying to be demeaning but this is just what I have observed. Sometimes it helps to live in delusion. Not saying that you should, but it may help to block out outside noise entirely, and then focusing on clearing small goals one at a time. Stop caring so much about what other people are doing, and comparing yourself to them. You first need to see what rich people look like before you can even get the idea that you are poor. Having a family and company that force-feeds you these comparisons is a major roadblock. I suggest that you move out if you haven't already if that is the case.

I don't need to explain how your brain went to this question after reading my post So, ofcourse you are foid and yes rapes happen every second everywhere in world you need to accept that fact you dumb faggot.

>>7766 InCh has been helpful for me. Kept me sane and informed. I will be using the knowledge I've learned here later in life.

>>7776 B-but the heckin unreported rapes

>>7776 >Yeah justify your country's rapes cuz every other country rapes. >Yay India number 3 let's make it no. 1 Sarr. Retardest shit I've ever seen Wikipedia stats are old from 2013. 2 reported rapes per 100k. We were still 2nd largest population back then so that 2 magnifies even if under reported. >B-But US has more heckin rape reported.. Yeah cuz the law actually "records" or "reports" the rape. I'll rape anon's mother no one will report it cuz of my political power lol so no change in that Stat. https://youtube.com/shorts/24qGHF4zgmQ?si=1wlTix9aSOdVjjRQ

>>7776 >>7780 Both sides of this are retarded.

>>7772 No you're not being insensitive. Get money > marry > Have kids > raise kids and die? I really don't like this linearity, but in the end there are no other goals of life in this world. Organisms are made to reproduce and die. I've got many chances of being "successful", most of them involved bribery or exploiting the underprivileged. I rejected them all and chose a path that was much more difficult to succeed but I enjoy it and doesn't include much of exploitation. To be successful in this country, you have to be really dirty, I can afford to chose my path so atleast I can choose not to involve in dirty business even though I could've been a millionaire by now. My parents don't like it that I'm actively avoiding those paths, >>7776 > They talk like 7776, if every other person doing shitty things, why don't we do it? Sick mentality down to the core.

>>7774 What you gonna do cry? Piss your pants? Suck your mommy's tits cuz she's just a rape toy for your father and uncles and a feeder for you and your siblings? Did my words really hurt your feewings?

>>7773 I'm just a normal introvert, I don't spite people. I like when people bring change to things. I'm prolly in 20% of unexplained part cuz I have everything "materialistic", just lacking a good past and a proper purpose of life. I know it's easy to be delusional and just live a life like livestock. But I rather kill myself then thinking that way.

>>7782 https://www.amazon.in/unMIND-Graphic-Self-realization-Siddharth-Tripathi/dp/9354402917 unMind is a graphic book written by Siddharth Tripathi and illustrated by Kalyani S. Naravane. It is a pure and succinct graphical retelling of the powerful spiritual teachings of two great mystics of modern India - Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) and Ramesh Balsekar (1917-2009). The book focuses on the concept of self-realization, encouraging readers to understand their true identity and find happiness. Unlike complex spiritual practices, the teachings presented in unMind emphasize the importance of correct understanding of one’s identity. The book’s graphical format, with clear writing and illustrations, makes it easy for readers to comprehend the concepts of duality, non-duality, and understanding oneself. It is an excellent resource for seekers interested in the mystic beauty of Ramana’s teachings and those looking to lay the foundation for self-discovery. Key Takeaways A graphical retelling of the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Ramesh Balsekar Focuses on self-realization and understanding one’s true identity Emphasizes the importance of correct understanding rather than complex spiritual practices Illustrated format makes complex concepts accessible and easy to understand

>>7782 > My parents don't like it that I'm actively avoiding those paths, Understandable. Yet, biological reality is the most real of all things. Much more so than feelings. > To be successful in this country, you have to be really dirty, True. To move forward with principles in India is to suffer. But we must do it because we want to. No other reason. If you chose to live a principled life, then you have my namaskar.

>>7782 If you really want to change something, then really , find a like minded wife. Make kids, and raise them with different values. The kind that you want to inculcate. That will have a bigger ripple effect in time.

>>7797 It's like How Elon felt in his initial days. He was sad that in his lifetime, humanity won't be able to colonize mars. Now he's busy playing politics and whatever shit he does on X.

>>7797 >>7820 Yep. People don't understand the concept of scale. Many things have a scale that is much larger than our lifetimes. To achieve them takes multiple lifetimes and generations. There is no point in thinking of this as bad or good. It is what it is. We must do what we can. If everyone keeps giving up on their goals and dreams/visions for the world, then we might as well just kill ourselves.

>>7825 germannri fren you seem to be an intellectual experienced person, can you tell me how to get a gf? should i randomly approach any foid and ask her number. i look 6/10 better than many but i am not social or i dont participate in anything in kalej whether it was freshers or fest, its my personality tho, i dont think it can be changed. also what do you think of looksmaxxing, do i need to approach foids when i am lean(basically at my best state), or try now cause 1 year of college has passed and i can feel crippling loneliness sometimes, the feel to wanting to have someone who knows you, to have someone to have sex.

I really, really hate how steep the IQ gradient is in this country.

>>7827 > should i randomly approach any foid and ask her number. No. >i am not social Become social. Be clean (clean hair, skin) smell good (cologne) dress well (clean, not wrinkled, matching) Talk to them normally. Women operate on two main levels - compliments and complaints. Let them complain to you, compliment them sometimes. Make sure to joke occasionally. Obviously you have to be risky sometimes if you're trying to date but I can't give you concrete advice on that, you'll have to feel it out in the moment. Also, women prefer upbeat confident men. You shouldn't complain or be negative, or show any real volatile emotion. Most importantly, don't feel like it's do or die. Sometimes you fail, sometimes women aren't interested, shit happens. It's best to move on if it doesn't work out. Having a large number of female friends is also good for meeting more women. I have a solid core of guys I hang out with since high school, but women are generally easier to become close friends with. Literally all the friends I have made since High school are women.

>>7829 >>7827 If you go through the catalog me and Germanon posted a lot of advice awhile ago.

>>7830 >>7827 Post is here >>6249

>>7827 Wanting company and sex are primal urges, that are very powerful motivators. For me personally, being good at at my chosen interests worked out really well. Being well read, being good at my hobbies and not being boring in conversation helped cover up my total autism and offensive opinions. It helped that my wife was ok with my negative points, she had high tolerance for these. While my good points really matched what she needed. > Looksmatch Nah. Try for someone who doesn't mind the worst aspects of you and can see the good ones. Before you try to impress others, you must know yourself. Not just looks, but also personality, talents , etc. This is >>7829 evergreen advice as well. If like Canada anon said, you cannot meet people in groups or crowds and do better in 1-1 conversations/situations, then try and meet people with similar interests or hobbies. Equally important is to try a lot. Are you the person who made a greentext about meeting a goberjeeta for a date ?

Last few weeks have been really crazy in every way. Broke my discipline. - Not sleeping enough - Not eating fully properly - Exercising enough but not regularly - Not practicing my hobbies - Behind on my reading by a fair bit now That said, there are times when your mind just needs time to digest feels and aspects of your own subconscious. I hope you guys too will rise above your daily reactions to whatever randomness life throws at you and discover yourselves. We are born in kali yuga. Distracted right from birth, indoctrinated with all kinds of bullshit. Chances are stacked against us right from birth. And yet, the work feels good. Discovering and following one's dharma feels good. Feels more meaningful than chasing the random distractions that life presents.

Are drugs a growing problem in young Indians ? I heard younger kids in my gaon are doing drugs now. Weird. I always thought of drugs as something for rich kids who can afford them.

>>7832 thanks for all the advice yaara >Are you the person who made a greentext about meeting a goberjeeta for a date ? nope

Years fly by like seconds now

It's sad to realize just how cowardly and of low character the vast majority of people are. Thankfully, they matter less and less to me. I need some advice however, there is a co-worker that I genuinely hate but am forced to interact with them. He also hates me and now refuses to let us just ignore each other and actively undermines me. Not sure what to do. Union job prevents his firing, although he is so outrageously incompetent he should have never gotten the job in the first place.

>>7848 Never mind, I just realized I don't give a fuck about the job or him. Life is liberating when you realize most things just don't fucking matter.

>>7848 It is. The.majority lives are disposable trash >>7849 This is real wisdom anon. You have ascended to a new level.

>>7828 Statistically speaking, due to large population, the probability of some traits also scale Also nobody gives a shit about water quality, which contains heavy metals that retards average Indian

https://youtu.be/USeATauQ6NQ Not worth the cost tho. Wouldn't do it again, I don't care for newer stars.

I let this spider live above my table. It was cold outside, it was tiny and looked harmless. Bitch is now pregnant and huge. Fucking bitch, I gave it shelter and now its planning a takeover. If I kill it, it will explode with creepy babies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NChpmlK-51c

>>7892 Why didn't u ask it its gender b4 you took it in What if she accused you of rape or something

I haven't posted in like 2 weeks i think. Something is wrong with me, I'm feeling deathly weary and tired for a few weeks now. I'm going to eat well starting tomorrow and get bloodwork done soon to see if I have vitamin deficiencies And yes I need to stop worrying so much but I can't get work done without worrying, it's a real problem with me.

>>7896 Checking for deficiencies is a good idea. So is always taking B/D and Iron supplements. >>7895 lol >>7892 I have this fear of killing pregnant animals. Someone killed a pregnant snake and got cursed till death. Wife insectsid'd it, threw in dustbin. I went to throw garbage, all the spider baby's ran out. Good riddance.

>>6959 The women on TV I jacked off to, are now playing mom roles on TV.

Christopher Nolan is overrated as a director.

>>7909 I hate his batman movies with a passion. Why the fuck would you make it realistic ? If I wanted realistic, why would I watch batman ? I would just get robbed in my city for that.

>>7911 He's a hollywood director that pretends to make art. His films that attempt to have meaning fall short and his Batman trilogy is awful, with the only redeeming qualities being a few actors doing stellar jobs. Plots are a mess and his scenes are terrible. Batsuit was butchered and his changes to the lore are arbitrary and often downgrades.

>>7913 I stopped at the Batman triology. A relative in India forced me to watch Tenet. It was trash. Are you going to Thailand ?

MY biggest mistake was not knowing myself, but still making important life defiding decisions. Limp Bizkit said it right , "Life is a lesson, you learn it when you're through"

>>7914 Few months. Getting all my affairs in order before leaving, coming back for any extended period is not likely.

>>6959 Fucking people use Faustian without knowing what it means. Very annoying.

>>7919 Enjoy. Such trips are necessary for growth.

Curiosity peaked three years ago and I feel like my mind is slowly dying. I guess this is what it's like to get older, or maybe it's just I don't care all that much anymore.

>>7928 No it is not how you feel when you get older. It's more of not enough stimulant issue. If you won't feed your brain it'll get bore and start killing itself.

Man you can either earn money or do what you enjoy. A middleground us quite rare. I don't know why companies and govt put administration work on doctors and researchers like make a admin group that handles every fucking non STEM work. No I don't want to learn everything to build my business and be successful I'm not logan Paul. I just want to be a nerd and figure out how stuff works. Maybe I want to be a cat and not a successful businessperson.

>>7939 My brainrot is consuming me.

>>7940 pic related is kind of irrelevant I look for journal reputation and where the individual teaches from, alma mater, as well as the actual quality of the article. Obviously some don't but you will get caught eventually if you keep producing drivel.

Spent the weekend working i was feeling dizzy and lightheaded by evening today. No matter how much you work it's still never enough. Wagie life is fun. >>7939 Management is essential at some point in ur career and your life, sure you might not have a degree in the field but if you are to lead a project or a team in any capacity you are indeed managing something. It's part of basic human competency i believe. But yes too many managerial duties if they cause you to fall behind in your actual work that is not good and your organization should kill themselves >>7940 >RDT_20240919_2345464430329095316589947.jpg

>>7939 Being in business is being all in. Since your task is open ended, there is no end to it. - Learn and do it on your own - pay someone to do it, but can you trust them or their work ? - Leave it to luck ? Business is true skin the game. My respect to you anon. >>7944 I learnt this late. No matter how good I am , it is essential to learn to manage. Good management can elevate an idiot into god like status. Bad self management can turn a genius into an idiot.

>>6959 Chennai will see more floods and bigger ones. TN govt is doing everything in its power to make the situation much worst than it needs to be.

Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes are good insight into the mindset of the urban elite and the shifting moral/ideological basis of society. Essentially the difference of kinship relationship systems vs inorganic ones (not based around biology but social circumstances, and socialization)

Western countries have some of the most extensive eugenics programs in existence, although it's focus is decreasing the quality of the next generation rather than increasing it. Dispersed dysgenics, a series of disconnected and independent policies which intentionally or unintentionally decrease the genetic potential of the next generation. Welfare is perhaps the best example, along with mass immigration, policies to crush the birth rate of productive couples or even ensure productive couples don't form, propaganda to ensure defectives are re-integrated or even coddled by government funds and the cultural apparatus. I find the widespread opposition to eugenics in the West to be hilarious when they have an even more invasive system doing the exact opposite.

>>7974 Have you gone down the frogs are gay Alex Jones rabbithole ?

>>7965 Love Hills have eyes series. Will check out Deliverance. Was watching "The Crazies" , excellent movie.

https://youtu.be/H9Ad6hDQ6-o?si=1fm7Ou46-C0d_qcn What was your favorite era of news coverage? Do you think news channels should've been govt regulated and calm but newspaper should've been totally free of regulation?

>>7976 No, just reflecting on things.

>>7983 No time like the present https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_eLDkvl9cg

>>7985 I love how default image of a chronically online person is obesity. Even though there's other extreme the skinny bone. Skinny people need more representation on the internet. We're equally mentally ill as the obese yet treated like Indians in west

>>7986 We should pray to Arnab for bringing such era to existence

Randumb chinese watches match big Name Brands in looks and functionality now. AS well AS desi Brands. Any self respecting man should have a watch and time his essential activities

>>7988 This cat is how I feel about many life choices. Amazing.

https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/03/01/144958/if-youre-so-smart-why-arent-you-rich-turns-out-its-just-chance/ "The conventional answer is that we live in a meritocracy in which people are rewarded for their talent, intelligence, effort, and so on. Over time, many people think, this translates into the wealth distribution that we observe, although a healthy dose of luck can play a role." "The same is true of effort, as measured by hours worked. Some people work more hours than average and some work less, but nobody works a billion times more hours than anybody else. And yet when it comes to the rewards for this work, some people do have billions of times more wealth than other people. What’s more, numerous studies have shown that the wealthiest people are generally not the most talented by other measures." Chance is very underrated as a factor in life. Most people on this forum seem to have an RPG view on life. Birth specs, initial spawn conditions dictate life. This is only partly true. Equally important are chance and randomness in success. If you are born without good birth specifications, then you should maximize exposure to randomness and benefits from it.

>>7996 No wonder poor introverts don't get money. They don't have randomness in their life.

>>7998 >>7998 They should have measured social circles, I guarantee it would correlate. Not what you know, but who you know.

>>7998 This is true for introverts. Limited social interaction == reduced chances of lucky encounters >>7998 I used to think this was true to limited extend. Then I read things Bill gates grandfather was a Rand corporation scientist Netflix CEO is related to the guy who invented modern propaganda Zelensky is nephew of Soros etc etc etc Current German govt are all related to senior Nazi party members etc etc etc etc Even in India. Now the elite families are changing. But elite culture doesn't change. I have lot of personal stories in this regard, where random people find unreal success, while actually talented people suffer. I could feel bitter, but honestly it doesn't matter. Social success is very meaningless and hollow. Praise from parents, neighbours, family etc is an ever changing goalpost. Eventually you only need two things 1. Earn enough to live decently 2. Learn who you are and follow through your dharma It isn't even religious. I have seen Christfags live in a more dharmic way than performative Hindu's.

>>6959 Chicken pill anon. Are you still pursuing climate simulation ?

>>6959 Will be gone for few days. Taking a trip after a long time.

https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/esp_tema.htm hello guys travelsome pranav here, reporting live from mexico

>>6959 Exhausted from travel but there is more left. Board seems very quiet now. Probably , I am sick. But feeling so tired. Fasting helps. I don't know what the medical magic is. But fasting really helps me.

>>8020 > fasting helps. Idk the medical magic Placebo? Other reason I can think of is energy conservation for digesting food. Your body most likely have reserves for situations like this and eating although helps in longterm, will make you more tired due to heavy energy consumption while your body also utilizing energy for fighting off disease. Idk not a doctor not an expert just speculations

>>8008 >>6959 HMU if you're successful enough give some opportunities in climate modeling.

>>8023 Opportunities I cannot. I can give some specific helpful info soon. Today I have to travel again so will post tomorrow. >>8022 It is also changing time for seasons here like in India. You are right about digestion needing energy. I also ate crap this whole week, feels good to take a break. Navratri, durga.puja and diwali have all good memories for.me and do feel special. I still haven't found a temple here which I like sadly. Iscon stuff really repels me. A lot of iscon people in India are gay rapists

>>8025 Don't know about gay rapist but they sure hold very powerful positions india. Something I noticed that even thought it was found in USA, every Isk'con artist' I've met always been to Germany in their life. Is there a correlation between visiting Germany and joining IskCON

>>8023 I cannot provide any oppurtunities, I can only point towards some. Don't try to go for pure meteorological institutes like Pune, they shun engineers. Go for IIT - Delhi. They are more open to civil background people using models to answer real world questions. To go into pure sciences territory will take a lot more training. There is a company called Meteomatics, which is open to people interning for them. The money will be good enough to live a decent life, but the move to Switzerland/Germany won't be easy. You should keep up with newer models löike https://github.com/NASA-IMPACT/Prithvi-WxC Apart from the standard ones and have a decent grasp of datasets CRU015 ERAINT G45HAD NCEP01 R45HAD RCP etc TO be honest, there isn't much of a career left in academia if you want money or peace. But to follow through an academic pursuit is thrilling in its own right. Wish you the best anon. Spend more time working on your future than shitposting.

>>8027 Well, the gay rapist thing I know from personal experience. Germany has two main big temples, one in Hamburg, one in Schwarzwald. The one in the black forest is beautiful and amazing. Both have lot of money. At one point, richer than the ones in USA. Why they use it as a center ? Idk. Each temple has its own rules in ISCON, so it is tough to say honestly. I don't like the ISCON order though, theologically and the people they have, They mostly have whites who are drug addicts or things like that. Their theology just replaces jesus with Krishna.

Can't seem to get a break. Get back from vacation and jump straight into tons of work. This month seems busier than the rest. Work is one thing. Talking to relatives, friends etc is also time consuming. As are daily tasks. Fasting takes some amount of will power too.

Imagine you are thinking about your life, you get a good idea that will solve most of your issues. That one precise solution that will ease your sea of shit. You are distracted by an insta hottie. The blood flows to your dick. Idea is forgotten. You go to mastrubate. This is the reality of most Indians I see now. Cannot hold a basic conversation for 5 minutes without distraction. They are incapable of pursuing anything requiring focus and discipline. Oxygen and food are wasted on such humans.

Bangladesh: Goddess Kali's Crown, Gifted By Prime Minister Modi In 2021, Stolen From Jeshoreshwari Temple https://swarajyamag.com/news-brief/bangladesh-goddess-kalis-crown-gifted-by-prime-minister-modi-in-2021-stolen-from-jeshoreshwari-temple

>>6959 Tomb raider was always about a westerner stealing artifacts from locals ! It is ruined for me now.

>>8051 I'm not getting into academia for thrills, it's just for a purpose and understanding things. Thinking about getting into experimental work. Our country has a major issue of heavy metals and pollutants in groundwater, maybe I should look into it. A lot of people are suffering from metal poisoning. I should reduce my shitposting but brainrot has infected me so I can't completely stop.

>>8089 Correction : "not for money" instead of "not for thrills"

>>8020 >Board seems very quiet now. Yes i didn't post this week at all, not even the one before i think. It's hazy because I think i worked on the weekend too, can't remember, couldn't go home for Vijayadashami maybe can't make it for Diwali either. Need to change jobs, and preferably career too I wish I weren't so lazy >Fasting helps. Weird, if I feel weak or tired I eat a lot and then sleep like a log. I usually feel refreshed when I wake up, until i suddenly remember why i was sad and tired the night before. >>8086 Heh one way to look at it. Just Cause is also a game where you kill SEA people but it is really just a parody of American arrogance. I had tomb raider on my Pentium 3 windows 98 PC I can't remember which version though. The only thing I remember is you had to jump across a lava pit and you got to a room where there was a grill trapdoor that let you see into a lion's cage. I got stuck there and never went ahead. I don't know how I had so many games, we had dial up in 2003 and then moved cities and had no internet till 2011.

>>8073 I do something like this but not insta whore, and it makes me forget about the bad things in my life instead of some good idea. It's no different than smoking but only slightly less damaging.

>>8091 > I wish I weren't so lazy Job drain is a real phenomenon. I had for years and had to quit to survive. The thing is though At the start of career, you compete against other freshers and under terrible boss's. Even if you change, you will end up in similar circumstances anywhere and everywhere. Changing makes sense only after 2-3 years of experience, when you leave the started tag behind. You might be emotionally stressed/depressed anon. > Tomb raider and perception I see the way Whites perceive us. White savior complex is very real and prevalent. Win 98 and Piii, we had a similar PC, brings back good memories. Computing with limited internet and local first softwares was very comfy. >>8092 I would argue that Insta/Watsapp/Snap/Tiktok are more harmful than cigarettes. >>8089 Ground water pollution is a tough one. Pin pointing a source is nearly impossible, as is mapping the underground channels. Restoration of water bodies is easier, but you need government level funding and intervention. There are few startups, especially around Bangalore that do good work in this regard. Or contact profs who are working on this kind of research. ArcGIS knowledge will help a lot to do discharge analysis. An easy win is to compile hourly discharge data from state govts and expose their lies about floods. You naturally won't win fans for this. It is blessed work anon. If you do end up pursuing it, you will be helping the world and have my respect for doing something real.

I am choosing easy pleasure over things that I actually would enjoy. I need to connect with myself again

The issue with this is, you are talking to a teenager with the same words as you would to a 40 year old. The issue is , both are very different and understand the same thing very differently. Imagine replying seriously about something seriously and the person you are replying to is a JEE fag. Nothing wrong in being a JEE fag. But age makes a difference.

Twitter fag friend showed me Indians raping gora's with replies on Twitter. I normally disapprove such tactics, but I have to admit, it is beautiful ! I don't think all this soft power wins anything but it is still , it is good to see Indians BTFO'ing racists.

>>8115 Can you share the link.? I'll reply with it next time some gora fag fwm.

Am I racist for not liking south Indian and Chinese English accent?

>>8119 Sorry for using political slop as an example.

Wife got me a good hair trimmer as a gift, I have not been so excited in a long time for something. Mainly because it doesn't hurt my skin or cause cuts. Plus it is precise so after a long time, my face looks clean. Going off for 2-3 days again. Trekking before it gets colder and the sun is gone. Life is good. I struggled in 20's a lot, but for sometime now, I am not wasting my time and enjoying myself.

>>8118 Sorry I saw it on his phone. >>8119 LOL. A lot of people don't hate southies but hate their accent. I find it endearing, spent a lot of time with them. Made lot of good friends, who despite thick accents had excellent thoughts and principles. Racism is fine. But really , try to be principled person and find other people with same or similar principles. You make amazing friends for life that way.

>>8130 I'm not even joking, I haven't found a single person with same principles. Closest one is my brother but he's my brother. Guess no luck with happiness

Yuval Noah Harari's 'Nexus' - A Hindu Perspective https://swarajyamag.com/books/yuval-noah-hararis-nexus-a-hindu-perspective

>>8136 What issues do you have specifically regarding happiness ?

>>8145 After reading some books I've realized that both virtue of gratitude and being happy is something you born with and nearly impossible to achieve. Opened my eyes towards those fake get happy podcasts and video essays.

>>8145 I don't get long term happiness after achieving something. I tried religion pill as it is most effective way to get the "ignorance is bliss" type happiness. But religion is too political now I can't stand it. I want to follow a religion for mind peace ffs.

>>8180 >>8195 Chasing long term happiness is like trying to have a pig cum (pigs orgasm for 30 mins non stop). You will keep cumming, only to be horny again and find more material and start all over. Again and again, like a monkey on crack. Happiness is internal. It is not external. No matter what success you achieve externally, it means literally nothing. It is true that people are born with different character and different predispositions. Some of us are introverted, others more predisposed to depression, melancholy, depressing thoughts etc. Therefore, each of us has their own struggle. Those of us more predisposed to sorrow, are better at working harder without rewards, hence usually achieving success (read the passion paradox). But these same tendencies are also depressing. > fake get happy podcasts and video essays. Most modern resources are shit and will not last more than a few years. Even the famous ones. Chase the ancients instead. > But religion is too political now Religion is always political. One system tells you to follow your dharma. Other one tells you to kill your enemies to find heaven etc. > Follow religion for mind peace ffs There are systems for this. But it is up-to you to find a good guru. Idk what religion you follow. Dharma pill worked well for me. It did not give me happiness, but mental peace, where consequences barely matter anymore.

A lot of tech brokedown for me without any warning. A power supply for some musical equipment A laptop is practically dead A very important tool

>>8200 Always seems to come in three

My wife took me to a coffee shop after a long work day. I don't normally go, I had forgotten why. 1. Tendy hipster cafe - Good coffee, too many people, too loud. Crowd too woke. We left. 2. Local racist hipster cafe - These guys make amazing coffee. It costs a lot but tastes bomb. I had it and the taste as really lovely. But left feeling unsatisfied. I am an addict again. I need volume of coffee. The taste doesn't matter. I am like kitli ki chai addicts. I just need my fix. >>8202 Booked my holidays. All money therefore attached to that. I never seem to get a break with tech. Sigh. I should just invest only in acoustic instruments and equipment. Even computers are fucking unreliable. Especially laptops. Even the best ones money can buy. > Just buy a desktop bro I really want to. But needing to travel a lot and moving a lot doesn't make it practical. More importantly, I am thinking of relocating away from Germany because I see shit close to hitting the fan. More than it already has.

Happy Diwali!

>>8206 Happy Diwali :) I thought I'll finish my work in these holidays but didn't do shit. An advice I want to give : If anyone you know want to pursue research, don't go to new IIT's in india. Faculty is placed either through nepotism or through religious connection. Research side of India is down in drain. Just want an opportunity to go to a better research institute for phD. Professor won't give you recommendation letter or force you to upgrade your masters to doctoral for their benefit (this is normal everywhere tbh)

>>8208 Add IIS-C to that list. Regionalism over religion. Caste in case of non UC's

>>6959 In modernity., it is easy to have noise. Podcasts , movies etc. But need to schedule alone time more too I feel like I haven't talked to myself in forever.

>>8220 Walks without earbuds or conversation with others is essential. A hike is even better.

>>8224 My responsibilities have increased a lot. Need to reduce my hobbies/projects to get time to talk to myself. >>6959 Who is this ?

>>8210 My guide gave me ultimatum : > Either bring funding from somewhere or get lost. Like if I was a business/entrepreneurial person, why would I choose academia?

>>8238 This is mostly standard though. In a way as an "Academic" you really are an enterpreur. As a result, most of academia in west is smooth talking, smart sounding frauds. There is more intellectual honesty in a plumber or welder than there is in an academic. The really interested one's fund their own research through odd jobs or side gigs and publish once in 3 or 5 years. Meanwhile, academic mills expect you to teach , do admin and write minimum of 2 papers a year. https://www.honest-broker.com/p/the-blue-collar-jobs-of-philip-glass
