I've been an aspiring minimalist (huehue) since I read some articles on zenhabits years ago. Problem is I have parents who literally collect napkins and ketchup packets like those. And they bought me tons of stuff for my aparment over the years. If I disposed of stuff that I don't care for or change the renovation too much they would get wounded about it. It's like my life is still their territory down to my living spaces. Point is I can't make myself let go of their precious strings-attached bullshit. Anyway my neighbour also collects drinking straws toilet paper etc, his kitchen cabinets are filled with plastic containers. Must be a boomer thing

My room's mostly clean. There's always clutter on the surfaces though.

I tend to organize my "horde" so it's easier to find things when I need it. It's a habit I got from my mom.

I am currently eating the one in the picture. I also eat nissin, maruchan, shin ramyun, and neogiri ramen as well. I try to conserve my stock of instant ramen, so I eat very frugally. I also cook some rice to go along with the ramen.

I live on top ramen and maruchan i like both but if i had to pick one i prefer top ramen because the quality is better tbh.

I got EBT the other day and went grocery shopping for myself, as un-hikki-like as it is and bought a ton of instant ramens.

First one I had was sesame chicken rice ramen, the noodle didn't taste like anything even after adding soy sauce and hot sauce to save it. Broth was still good though. I don't know if I want to fall for the healthy brand meme again.

Yesterday I had one of those BLAZING HOT SPICY WITH SHRIMP ones, don't recall if they have a brand but you see them in bodegas and gas stations often. I've had this one a bunch of times, even if it's not quality stuff it's comforting.

I'll let you all know which one I'll have today when it's lunch time.

So right now I have the equivalent of 400 dollars. Several months ago I payed that money for a service that I never utilized so I just got a refund.

I'm thinking what I can spend it on.

I'm content with my current computer hardware so an upgrade is unnecessary.

I was thinking of buying some video game console, but I'm afraid I might lose interest (like it's usual) and stop using it.

I'm no longer super interested in anime and only watch occasionally so I don't want any waifu figures.

I want ideas anons! What would you spend the money on?

Yes, I could just save it, but I don't want to.

I own 2 ps3 first gens which I got for $60 each (make sure they have the warranty label still on otherwise they may have been reflowed and will die in a month) and once CFW'd they are a terrific. I even installed OtherOS++ which was cool I heard someone got the RSX chip drivers working. Would highly recommend. Anything 4.81 OFW and below is CFW able with a network switch and a computer although I did mine before the crack and flashed mine with a teensy++ 2.0 and 360clip.

There are plenty of sites with game rips such as nicoblog.org with plenty of Mega links

Also about all vitas being hacked please tell me more I was looking into them before.

Basically every firmware but the latest (3.69) can be softmodded now, gone are the days where if you wanted a CFW ready Vita you had to order a brand new one from japan or make doubly sure to tell the ebay seller not to update it to the latest firmware before sending it it happened a lot, and people still don't know if they did it out of sheer idiocy or just malice, expandable storage also got insanely cheap, back then the biggest you could get was a official 64GB memory card from japan with a $150 pricetag, or a 32GB one from the states for about $70 if you didn't want to import, but now you can order a $5 SD2VITA adapter from china and the biggest SD card you can afford.

If you're looking into getting a Vita i recommend you get one of the FAT models, it has a gorgeous OLED screen and the 3G port can be replaced with a SD slot, but it lacks internal storage (slim has 1GB that gets disabled once you insert a memory card in it) which means you need to get a official sony memory card in order to hack it, but that's not an issue, you can grab a 4GB one from any pawnshop for $5 and hack it, then pop your adapter+128GB memory card inside it.

If you don't have a zojirushi/tiger/etc hot water dispenser, then get one. Once you experience the convenience of hot water available at arms reach 24/7 at the push of a button you'd wonder how you lived without it. It's probably one of the best hundred some dollars I've ever spent.

>keep teabags on your desk

instant tea

>keep bowl noodles at your desk

instant ramen

>keep paper towel roll at you desk

instant hot towels

>talking from first hand hikki experience

Make sure it's a made in Japan model. Also make sure that the one you get has a "quick temp" feature. This feature brings the water up to the set temperature without boiling it first. In normal operation the water dispensers automatically reboil the water for a minute or two every time you refill it, and then lets the water temperature slowly drop until it's reached the set temp, at which point it holds it there indefinitely. This is because the Japanese usually fill it with tap water and the auto boiling cycle acts to boil out the chlorine taste. Japan generally has excellent quality tap water but most other places don't so chances are you should probably only be drinking filtered water, which makes the boiling cycle pointless. Why you should use the quick temp feature vs just letting it automatically reboil is that, over time, the hot steam of the repeated boiling cycles ends up slowly breaking down the plastic of the steam vent. This takes a few years but eventually the plastic becomes so brittle and crumbly that small plastic chips flake off and fall into the water reservoir. Using the quick temp feature to stop reboiling prevents this plastic breakdown from happening. It also prevents mineral scaling issues that tend to arise from constantly reboiling hard water.

About 2 weeks ago I got diagnosed with social phobia and bipolar. Only reason I finally got diagnosed was my mom insisted she come with me to an appointment that was originally just for medication (insomnia).

At 20 years old, it doesn't change much and I wasn't surprised at all. The psychologist also said I have some characteristics of autism, which was pretty amusing.

I've been playing fortnite nonstop, how about you?

As a way out, there were times when i didnt feel anything, like imagine walking from work or school (the only good part of my old life) youre not doing anything really, nor feeling anything youre just walking, that feeling of walking and being calm, thats a feeling but sometimes i didnt feel not even that, like i was watching a movie/cutscene in a vg, i knew what was going on and if you touch me i could "feel" it, but not really, the pain was the only way to pull my mind back to reallity i started playing with a cutter, i just scratch my arm with it until all the white powder was gone and my arm become a slime red mess, i pull me back here, it made feel like i was myself again and then when i poured alcohol on it…

I was free.

And since then i do it at least once a month, but when i started it was almost every day as a result i cant move my knees and toes as good as before (i hurt my legs cause the marks were always hide by my pants)

On the few occasions that he didn't do any (or all) of those, he would make me feel guilty for not wanting to spend time with him, but why would I? He always made me feel like shit.

This makes me realise how my dad fucked me up more than I thought

Was always very angry and demanding with me, and calling me an idiot for fucking up, certainly didn't help that I never wanted to learn to ride a bike or any of that, just wanted to play newgrounds games, which he entrenched undoubtedly

then he just became kind of distant - silently judging me, as he still does, just taking a very passive role in things, doesn't really try to do much to help me. Last I honestly recall was he told me that "you're not the only person in the world with problems you know that" (unprovoked, I hadn't said a word to him or anyone for weeks) and I don't think he's spoken to me since

my upbringing was probably better than 90% of this board, but still here so what's it fucking matter at the end of the day

What do you think the point of no return is for us?

How long do we need to be in our rooms for it to be too late to rejoin society when our family dies? I can see no other path other than getting neetbuxs, if that's even possible for me. Otherwise being homeless is my destiny.

I'd kill myself before trying to return to normal life, and couldn't be a homeless because I don't have any confidence to steal or beg.

My plan b, where I don't kill myself, is going to the south (in my country) and just try to live off the nature in a remote forest, I mean like an hermit. I shared this idea with a psychologist once but she told me it's "schizophrenic" to live alone like that.

I've fantasized about that too, when I was still back in school (though I was ostracized even back then). Hermit life always looked so peaceful. Just you by yourself, no disturbances, sitting by a pond and watching the beauty of nature, maybe with a wooden cane or something and a cozy little cabin in the woods with a fireplace. I'd have a dog, maybe, and we'd go hiking together everyday.

I actually started thinking up plans, but there was the problem of just finding enough food to eat and having to hunt things, survive the winter when the animals are hibernating and the plants don't grow, and then there's things I'd need like medicine if I get an infection, and bullets to hunt with, I could never get that from nature. There are some pretty big animals out there too, and I'd probably get mauled by a bear or something if I tried it, especially if I was carrying fresh hunted game.

That said, I believe in a deterministic view of the hikikomori life: the "hikikomori personality" is in the DNA; sooner or later in your life you will become a hikikomori.

In this respect, the point of no return is when you are born.

There is no real social environment where such a personality would do well. I've had a pretty good childhood and now I'm a recluse anyway.

Sometimes I randomly get nostalgia for times as close as a few months ago, sometimes for years ago. 2016 was a really comfy time for me.

What time do you have nostalgia for?

Good response, but anime is the true miracle here. You don't seem to have a full appreciation of nature's greatest accomplishment.

>Its in an empathy borne of much suffering on my part

I know how it is to feel too much empathy for your own good, to the point that it becomes self-destructive. I kinda had to learn to control how much of it I feel, and only apply it to people that I think I could actually like, but not everyone on the planet. Originally I tried to suppress it completely and avoid those feelings entirely, but that doesn't work either. You can't just not feel anything, that's not healthy either. Now I try to avoid feeling it more than I should depending on the situation. I feel it here, but I won't necessarily feel it somewhere else on the internet. Not that I have mastered this, of course. Sometimes I still mess up.

>>6574

I'm cool with your views, I don't care about debating these things anymore because it's clearly a waste of time (it was useful before I got to where I am now, but this seems to be the end of the line). But I don't believe that Jesus actually existed, not the one that Christians actually believe in, though there were many similar people all over the planet. So, in a way, there was no Jesus, but there was also a bunch of Jesuses (also some inverted evil Jesuses). Socrates was a Jesus. It's generic to say this, but Buddha was also a Jesus. Every single Jesus in history would hate Christianity (even some Christian versions of Jesus). A lot of people embodied that sort of archetype, and none of them were too fond of religion in general. Everything valuable about Christianity (and Judaism itself, and of course, there is very little of it) either comes from ancient religions (a lot of it looks like it came from the Sumerians, and that part of it is pretty neat) or isn't exclusive to it at all, to the point that it was everywhere from the beginning.

It has nice and interesting stuff, but it's an even worse version of Judaism that isn't even tied to race, iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Your perspectives are interesting. There's a christian sect out west in the US that has a more richly developed concept of matter, dark matter, intelligence as a property of matter, the importance of thought and free agency to put thought to action, and doesn't think that more than a handful of people in all of time have made it into hell (so no fearmongering to control). I've been reading about them and chatted with their missionaries online and they seem very respectful of my beliefs.

I wonder if it's possible with the access we have to so many religious traditions and sources of light and knowledge that someone could get it all right. Or at least, right enough.

>You can believe the craziest shit imaginable and I can be fine with that as long as it's interesting and constructive, and even better if I have never heard it before.

It might surprise you, but I feel more or less the same way. I only take umbrage at beliefs that are dedicated to erasing culture and destroying civilization; reducing men to animals. Judaism is the single greatest example of such that I'm aware of, and I do everything I can to dispel the illusions that keep it alive and in power.

For example, I know that by "Judaism" you're referring to the ancient religion of the Jews, but Judaism was actually created in 70 AD by the Pharisees (who currently call themselves "Rabbinic Jews", "Orthodox Jews", "Atheist Jews", and whatever other labels they can disguise themselves with). Judaism and its practitioners had nothing to do with Jews except as infiltrators and adversaries, such as when they tried to murder/usurp Moses and convert the Jews to worship of Baal.

If you're interested (or if you'd just like to be able to convince random Christians that Israel is not, in fact, their greatest ally), I recommend Michael A. Hoffman's book "Judaism's Strange Gods". I think /zundel/'s MEGA backup has a PDF of it, and I have a copy of that stored somewhere (although it's not the revised and expanded edition which includes more information, e.g. an overview of Moshe de Leon's Pa.R.De.S. system). It's an excellent detailed analysis of the Babylonian Talmud; the only flaw is that for whatever reason, Hoffman is unable to think of Adolf Hitler as anything but a villain.

>I only take umbrage at beliefs that are dedicated to erasing culture and destroying civilization; reducing men to animals.

That's pretty much my view. Creative chaos is probably my general preference, and I hate destruction and would rather avoid it, that's basically what I like. I don't care enough about the details of who was who, because that doesn't change who exactly I despise. I am aware that the Jews actually rewrote some of their history and intentionally destroyed important records in the past, and maybe that's related to way you say. Hell, I'm pretty sure that it's basically factual that they were never enslaved by the Egyptians (since the Egyptians themselves never recorded that), and that's a pretty foundational story in their history. I did read about that a long time ago. I don't remember the details, but I know enough to be able to assume that a lot of their supposed history was completely designed for their convenience just like the Soviets made up so much about the NatSocs. And of course, sometimes one groups steals another group's name or identity, that does happen. The Byzantines considered themselves Romans. I say that's ludicrous and they were just larping. Romans were not Christians.

A lot of history can just be assumed to be possibly fake anyway, since liars and propagandists (people in the media and in education are propagandists, and a some of these people will presumably be the ones to write the official history of the 21st century) have always existed, and we can see today that there is a huge amount of them and people in the future will probably be wrong about our own current history as well, just like people today have a completely fucked up view of ancient history because of thPost too long.

I have nostalgia for when I was married. My wives were really sweet and accepting. It helps that I wasn't a hikki when I met either of them. I was failing my way through junior college with the first and then I lyed my way into the second. Shiz was tight. Stayed at home while they worked and had sex when they came home. after the second failure I retreated into my head and have been home for a long time.

How do you not feel stress? I have been hikki/neet for two years last few months everything gets me mad I can't play games listen to music or even browse chan boards lately without feeling some sort of stress. It's getting to the point where I am more patchy than my father and just pushing my hands through my hair leads to hair coming out. I have even lost about eighteen pounds but eat without being conscious of health or working out. How to calm down?

Whenever you wake up, stayed laid on the bed a little and take deep breaths. Walk outside in a non crowded area for like an hour each day and breath calmly.

Everytime you feel stressed, stop anything you are doing and have a constant breathing rythm. If you do that, you will be all set.

It's often that hikki and NEET talk about learning things and becoming smarter while being shut in. I fell for this mindset too but in hindsight it was shallow and pseudo-intellectual garbage. I went through a science/STEM atheism neckbeard phase.

I did the programming thing for years but didn't advance far enough to be able to do real world things with it. Now I have lost the drive to learn more. The idea that all technology is fun no longer appeals to me because it's impossible to know everything. Only a surface level knowledge of many things is not useful. I lack the focus and intelligence to get deep into a topic like become proficient at solving those hard programming tests on leetcode or hackerrank.

I learned a bit of some obscure language (but now forgotten it). I was able to watch Youtube videos at slow speed and understand basic things. It was never put into practice because people who use that language are so rare. It's also useless to me anyways on account of the whole shut in thing. I won't be using it in real life ever.

So ultimately what did I spend time on these things for. I have lost faith in the self learning thing.

What things have you learned that you have been able to put into practice?

Reading fiction, reading philosophy, learning how to daytrade cryptocurrencies and trading everyday to make profit. Learned to program with several new languages, including Go which is swiftly becoming my new all time favorite language to use. Already taught myself how to build entire websites with it from scratch. I was a professional software developer working for a major US bank before becoming a hikki so I'm looking to learn more modern technology stacks and stay the fuck out of the banking field forever. I hate banks so much with all their stupid KYC/AML bullshit. I hope to get in at a cool startup or something. I would also highly prefer to work remotely now that I'm so comfortable with staying inside… Trying to get more sources of income. I get $700 a week from NEETBUX which is enough for food and rent and bills but it doesn't give me a lot to save up and invest with. Just trying to make money so I can be a millionaire and buy a nice secluded house one day.

I work at a "cool startup" that lets me work from home (though I'm only 30 minutes from the office). Great thing about hikki is I can save almost all of my money (my only hobbies are reading literature and reading manga, along with some small programming projects for fun) and theoretically I could retire at around 32 if I put all my savings at a 3% interest rate, which gives me around $40k a year off interest. I don't like thinking about money too much so I haven't looked into investing at all. I don't think I'd be that great at it though. All that said none of it really helps with my depression/what's-the-point-of-it-all mentality.

My advice to you is if you want a remote job go on hackernews who is hiring threads and ctrl-f for REMOTE. They are surprisingly common and well-paying, but as you know the interviews can be very challenging.

Cool to see another lit/cs person here. I used to be into philosophy in college but never really liked it, other than some select ones like the Stoics and Daoists. Russell/Ayer/Frege/etc are cool too.

The competent people know, but can never do anything about it because of the other millions of people causing the problems and making them worse. Good humans have always been the minority. Most people are either mediocre and enabling or actively evil and destructive. But it's not just that, everything is broken, and everything is to blame. It's the same thing in all professions, no matter how important they may be. I don't think this is different in other countries since that seems to be the case for other things everywhere. This is all proof that normal people are actually crazy as well, and actual sanity isn't very common. Society is driving people to insanity and they can't even see that it's happening. The only thing to do is to try to save yourself and a few other people are hope that the normalfags lead the species to extinction, for its own good.

I have never been in that kind of situation, so I wouldn't know anything from personal experience, but I always hear this kind of thing from people that I assume are Americans and from people that I know are Americans, but I heard your story multiple times, actually. It's pretty common, and depending on the situation, you may end up having to deal with enough sensory deprivation to actually push you over the edge into actual insanity. You are not even allowed to die. I understand keeping someone from committing suicide, but even that becomes a cruelty when you are practically torturing them by placing them in an environment that isn't suitable for humans, with nothing to do.

It's never been necessary to commit me.

There have been some times when I seriously thought about it, but I've just been given some benzos to calm me down and I waited in the mental hospital waiting room until I was feeling a bit better, then I got back home.

I never liked the idea of staying there, here in Europe it's not that bad, but it still is a pain to sleep far from home, etc.

My medical case, although serious enough that I'm a hikki, is not that serious to require occasional hospitalizations.
