Serious question, why are brown people incapable of building and maintaining a safe prosperous first world country on equal footing with (previously) predominantly white countries like America or Britain? Is it genetics? Culture? White supremacy? I don't know I just find it fascinating that brown people do not have a non shithole country to call their own.

Jews, mostly. 1965 hart celler act. They want to make whatever country they're living in as multicultural/racial as possible so as to avoid attention as a market dominant minority - just another group in a big melting pot society, not a highly ethnocentric, high IQ parasitic ethnicity that is spiteful towards white gentiles. Wonder why they got kicked out of a million countries?

But yes, WASPs let them into the country clubs and to some extent allied with them against flyover, backbone of America type whites, so you have a point there as well. But it is Jews.

Do they know if there is a way to develop lucid dreaming or to remember your dreams more often?

Having a different world inside your mind every time you dream sounds interesting.

It's only become more and more difficult for me to remember my dreams after I wake up, and I wish I knew why.

It's hard to write them down because I'm stressed about wasting time, tired, and wanting to go to the toilet.
Most of my dreams are shit or even negative, so I'll banish them from my mind and not write them down.

Apparently, your sleep becomes less restful if you start lucid dreaming all the time.
I wonder if there's a way to unlearn lucid dreaming if that is the case.

 No.308309

PS Most of the lucid dreams I can remember have felt soulless and somewhat unnerving.
You realize none of it is real, and you're stuck in some weird matrix with fake soulless people who behave really strange and unnatural. It feels lonely.

This is my first time ever posting here but I actually discovered a reliable method that gives you very vivid dreams if not lucid ones. However with enough practice I've been able to basically dream while only half asleep and even visualise my thoughts like they were real with my eyes closed. Anyway
Wulfgar's kino dream method:
You have to be almost ready to fall asleep, close your eyes, breathe deeply and slowly, look upwards while cross eyed (keep your eyelids closed) til you feel pressure in your forehead, then hold your eyes like that until you feel the pressure move backwards through your brain all the way down to your brain stem. Once its there you can let your eyes go back to normal but keep them closed. I start seeing like pulsing cymatic patterns or it looks like waves on a lake but top down. Then you just think of something and you'll start seeing it inside your eyelids. When i did this it actually became colored instead of green/grey/black.

I am going to get kicked out of my house pretty soon. I live in India. It's not the norm here to kick your kids out, as a matter of fact extended families live together because living apart is too fucking expensive.

I don't have any skills and I don't have any time to skillmaxx. I can read and write in English (better than other Indians at least), that's pretty much all I can do. I have tried applying for jobs but I have har no luck so far.

I can do any online jobs if you guys have any. Even for peanuts in USD or some other 'better' currency. I hate to say this again and I know I come across as spoilt but I really need money quick or I'll starve in the shitty streets.

How much time do you have left?
I would go get the shittiest manual labor job or take a random job from anyone that will hire you. Promise your parents that you only need to live in their dwelling to sleep, and come to an arrangement to pay them part of your earning. Basically become an indentured servant-slave to your parents and try to use the time to figure out a proper escape plan.

If they really despise you right now, just be an extra-goodboy for the foreseeable future and try to be outside of the house for as many hours as possible a day, and then when you see them bring them money and ask if you can sleep there for the night. Then wake up early and leave… as long as you keep bringing proof of labor (bring food/money) then maybe they'll lighten up on you.

If you work 8-10h a day, use the time to think about what you want to do, and then find a place to hang out to think/prepare for your next move/skill-max and then use the remaining hours to strategically ingratiate yourself with your parents/family again.

No, actually. Statistically White English-speaking males are the most likely to get rejected for online pennywork and surveys because we're a minority of the global consumer purchasing power and also because we'd be less likely to use either as full-time employment.

Succubi make up more than 85% of the consumer market for everything, so their opinions are valued more by any company that aims to earn money directly from consumers. You need to put aside your pride here and just pretend to be a female, or list yourself as a male who believes himself to be a female. Your nationality will be beneficial in this case because Indian sales firms are the main utilizers of MT to determine what sells best in India.

any wizards in the mood to talk about free android apps? i hope so, welcome to my ted talk about free and open (well mostly) android apps.

realistically i use like 5-10 apps on my phone: weather, music, newpipe (youtube) sudoku, osmand (open maps), calculator, clock, signal (for textmessaging) and calandar.

i have installed maybe 30 apps and most i don't use. i may have used them once or a few days but never longterm. i thought it would be fun to just talk about apps that are useful. whenever i look into my app drawer i am surprised how little of the possibilities i use. i just wanted to dive into them again. contributions and valid opinions based on principles are very welcome and appreciated by me. i intend on showing a few screenshots of apps i like and talk about them a bit. feel free to ask questions that relate.

first app i love is the alternative app store i use. i don't have google play on my phone, instead i get apps from the f-droid. you don't need the app to look what they offer, you can just see what they have with a browser.

this is the f-droid page about the f-droid app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.

i like the f-droid very much and i am grateful for it because i never felt good using google play. in the beginning i didn't know better but then after i found out how dirty google had become, it just wasn't fun anymore to use android, i hated it, it became a chore and i didn't care about anything that happens within google play. f-droid feels so much better to me.#

strangely it always works better when i install it and then when i don't update if for months and months then suddenly the thumbnails stop working but other then that it has never disappointed me.

I use Bromite, a Chromium fork focused on privacy and performance. Free as in beer and freedom. In my opinion, hands down the best web browser performance-wise for android. It also does, always did the background youtube playing (even with the screen off), plus bandcamp and spotify. It is so fast that it allows me to keep using my Nexus 7 2013. It also comes with a builtin adblocker, I think some versions even have or will have experimental addon support.

I also use Shelter for app privacy sandboxing, downside is it can only clone one app, it relies on Androids built in work-profile feature, so it is pretty solid and has almost no performance hit.

K-9 for email, it's simple and reliable. Aurora Store for downloading apps without GoogleServices and PlayStore (haven't used it in a while tho, but it should still work, hopefully)

I suppose if you're into android and free software you've been aware of Xposed and later Magisk, they're not the same class but both are very powerful and Xposed has been kind of revived through some Magisk modules. I miss Appsettings, it allowed you to, as the name says, customize the way an app ran, bypass screenshot restrictions and othet stuff, I used it for custom dpi settings. It's worth the hassle.

Wasn't aware of this, I'll give it a try and hope it works despite google s antiadblock threats.

Bromite is GOAT.

I like Fairemail and use Blokada 5 for a system-wide adblocker. The developer of Fairemail also has a similar app, Netguard, which I thought worked well until it didn't and I sent back to Blokada. I think it's been updated and should probably try it again.

Great thread OP! I already use a couple of these apps myself, my favorite being antennapod, which is my go-to for late night listening.
Thank you for the newpipe recommendation, I am amazed at just how good it works right out of the box.
For a good while I had removed all google services on my phone and installed a custom OS in an attempt to increase my privacy. I enjoyed it for a while, but my big problem was the open source maps app you recommended, osmand. It seemed to work fine in cities and busy areas, but, like… I lived in a rural area and I knew for a fact Walmart was down the road from me, but when I put in Walmart, it would INSIST on the Walmart headquarters in another state. Osmand always kinda pissed me off, and I need maps because I move a lot, so that served as an impetus to switch back to using Google services.

Some of my recommendations for good open (mostly) apps:

ChromaDoze for white/brown noise generation. It's simple and looks neat. No ads whatsoever.

Pulsar for music. You can make playlists. I torrent all of my music or download from YT, and what's neat is Pulsar searches the internet for good pictures of the artists if a picture isn't already included in your torrent file.

Noteworthy for tuning instruments (I use it for guitar).

Joplin (in conjunction with Dropbox) is a great note taking app that allows you to share notes between devices. It's easy enough to set up, and it has a robust library of features that allow you to take really nice notes.

Xodo is an app I use for PDF manipulation. PDFs are notorious for just being an absolute ass to deal with, and Xodo makes it tolerable. Idk if Xodo is FOSS, but it's a great app nonetheless.

KeepPassX is what I use for storing passwords. This is a powerful app and should only be used if you trust YOURSELF and ONLY YOURSELF to keep up with your passwords. If you forget your master key your fucked. But, it's worth it if you don't want your passwords in the hands of a private company.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to share. Thanks again OP, this thread is quality and I enjoy seeing things like this on the board. RIP arisuchan.

how do i find a name i like for myself? i don't think i want a name. i dislike and reject the fundamental concept of identification on a deep level. i hate to use names and i don't identify with my cattle name that my parents gave me. i never care for people's names and i seldom remember them.

for practical purposes a name might be useful so i think i should give one to myself. if people ask for my name usually i don't want to give it because i don't want that person to have a word that connects to me, thus existing in the language part of their brain. i prefer original sentience over conditioned language…

however if i don't have a name i kind of exclude myself from any social interaction that i might like. maybe i meet nice people some day and i want them to be able to give them a name. usually people always want to meet me while i hate it and they don't care because they don't have a sense of mutual interest.

i also don't want my name to be known by people that i don't consent to know it. thought about giving all the assholes my cattle name and tell the nice people my chosen name.

does any magician have any advice given my unusual preferences that i outlined? normies in bad faith gtfo.

just chuckled at the idea of calling myself question-Mark. maybe i'm looking for something stupid, ridiculous and disrespectful.

i made a thermopile of steel/constantan (type-j thermocouples) that generates almost 2 microvolts per square inch, with one end in warm water, the other in the air above. i read a forbes article saying if you covered the human body in thermoelectric generators, you would get like 0.5 watts. surface area of human is like 3000 sq inches, and assuming the human was like the hot water i measured, i would get like 5 watts. of course human is cooler than some warm water, but even so there shouldnt be a 10x difference. and of course if you used high seebeck thermoelectrical materials like legitimate thermoelectric generators do, it should be much more powerful than my thing

I've been having this recurring idea which is a home I want to design around a clepsydra (water clock). A clepsydra is a waterclock used in antiquity to measure time with a volume filling with water at a known rate with something like a buoyant indicator pointing to a watch 'face' which shows where in the day and season you are. It was used up until the 17th century and was accurate to about 1% per year, and could account for the variation in length of day by means of the striped cylinder in the pic attached.

I set some design rules for my imaginary home which I think produce interesting and aesthetic design choices:

>1. No electricity (or minimal)

>2. Minimal moving parts, preferably just one moving part (a helical windmill with gearbox or escapement)
>3. Maximum automation with 'primitive' means
>4. Natural building materials only like clay or cob
>5. Must look cool - I have an aesthetic vision

Basically what I want to make is a large porcelain CPU situated in the middle of the house where water is both the input and output. A large helical windmill will continuously pump water to the top of the waterclock/CPU so that it can continue to function. It would be highly beneficial in my mind if everything could reach a state of homeostasis. That's ultimately what I'm searching for - a home that functions in a manner a body would, but in a way that benefits my body. The home literally becomes an extension of the planet AND myself - linking my needs and the planets will together.

Things I want it to accomplish:

>1. Generation of water by means of atmospheric moisture collection. Total independence of weather. Water generation to exceed evaporation rate

>2. The water can accumulate heat in a separate tank during the day and be pumped at night when the temperature drops.
>3. Saltwater compatible - Using saltwater I could cheat my 'no electricity' rule and perhaps do some electrolysis. Maybe keep saltwater animals/algae.
>4. Have a freshwater aquaculture/aquaponic farm for my (and my plants) nutrient needs. Urea provided by myself and my aquatic friends.
>5. Automatically water my garden at specificPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
