^ i usually have no problem with knowing when to sleep. just got to make sure not to stay up too late. as i get older, i like to sleep now instead of trying to prolong the inevitable and feeling shitty.

^ a programming language i like has shit networking and cant handle many users. the state of the art is another language called go. i borrowed their design as an extension for python. it is that extension running this website. so it acts as a live proof-of-concept for improving python.

^ i think id trust older wizards judgement on themselves more more than younger at least. but i think theres something here worth mentioning. a lot of what we experience of how we're treated, who's around us, what the world is like, is only ever based on our small chunk of the world. the danger is assuming that the whole world hates us because we get a bad spawn.
there are so many instances of people whose entire outlook changed because they moved somewhere and were suddenly treated like a real person. its also a caution not to dismiss life too soon when people live so long.

>I have day-time drowsiness if I take mirtazapine
i think the reason for this is even if you force your body to sleep at a certain time (with drugs or other tricks), your internal clock is still unchanged and your body still expects to sleep at the wrong time, creating fatigue or sleepiness etc.
i wish there was a way to modify your internal clock easily, but all the advice is similar to mental health i.e. "force yourself to do it and hopefully your mind/body gets the hint".

^ i'm just saying, the isolation comes AFTER the years of forced schooling and trauma. most people become shut-ins after high school and by that point, they've learned a lot about how people operate and how they will be treated.
>these could be topics like: how the economy is going, the workforce, how practical employment is, retirement, health, whatever.
ok, you can speak about your experiences, "getting a job in X is easy, or it's hard right now", but don't try to tell some shut-in wizzie that if he goes outside, girls will suck his dick and he'll be treated like a prince. i do agree that wizards tend to overestimate their knowledge in some areas, like if you never applied to a job, you shouldn't be talking about how easy/hard it is.

Matthew is autistic enough to keep this going, I think also he is a crypto billionaire and his servers have many quality bred hapas running in hamster wheels to power it, I am more worried about not enough users

^ this is just relativist, non-sense. im not trying to deny anyone's lived experience. but the fact remains that if you isolate yourself, shun every kind of relation except online depressives, remain unemployed, never develop any real world experience, goals, or life plans, don't study, spend all your time gaming or doom scrolling, then you will lack an immense amount of knowledge of how the world really is.
that means you will not be able to participate objectivity on many subjects. these could be topics like: how the economy is going, the workforce, how practical employment is, retirement, health, whatever. people in the cave will have an answer for you but it will most likely be a wrong one.
i also see a little of the problem with addiction centres here:
1. people who aren't broken leave wizchan
2. the ones who are most broken stay
3. over time the site concentrates broken people, creating the false illusion that things are worse than they are
