Since 2021, I have felt this feeling of being alone or mostly alone in this world, like being in a ghosttown or empty videogame map, but on a larger scale. I felt it in a lesser fashion in the past as well.I hear people talk about not seeing neighbors when they should and encountering empty towns where they should not be at. And the funny thing is even though I still see people regularly, I still get a ghosttown vibe.Is this feeling correct, and if so, why? Is this a simulation with very few real people? Did some big disaster happen and nobody is told us about it? Did they just lie about the pop. count just to lie?Please tell me your theories and experiences with this phenomenon.
a significant number of houses in my area still have Christmas decorations up
>>42590933Pretty weird. Is this the first time?
I notice this as well. Going for a walk and every person I pass is on their phone scrolling, or listening to music. Neighbors never sit on their porch, and if they do they are on their phone.Go to bars and they are empty. Stores are empty. Malls are empty. It's nothing paranormal imo. Everyone got their attention span rotted by the internet (look at us rn) so we aren't sitting outside or looking to interact with people.Sad to see it happen. Check out Dandapani if you want to fix your attention span.
>>42591001yeah. I never saw anyone doing this previous years.
>>42590873We are literally in purgatory my guy. I had the same feeling tonight sitting alone peacefully looking up at the stars.
Nothing has felt real since the early 2000s, its like a switch went off and everyone is just going through the motions
>>42590873The economy/powers that be keep forcing more and more people into these every growing urban megacities. Rural life has been choked dead
>>42591352Because they think they have no other option, but then again this has been arguably happening since the industrial revolution anyway. But really I find it to be a false dichotomy
>>42590933>a significant number of houses in my area still have Christmas decorations upI recently noticed a lot of houses in my area have "colored lights" on the trims. A few are red white and blue which makes sense, but most are blues, greens, whites, purples, and some multicolored.I wonder if they are anxious to start Christmas early, or maybe people are just doing whatever they want when decorating their houses, nowadays.It seems to be happening in "clumps" where 3 or 4 houses all have lights within a few houses of each other, like one guy did it, and then the others were like, "I'm gonna do that too!"Spoopy, or maybe times are changing.
>>42591068I wonder how we died.
>>42590873>ctrl+f covid>0 resultsWhat are we doing /x/…
>>42592366I think Covid was a smokescreen to hide the big time matrix glitches.
>>42592362I do too
>>42590873there are companies that go around to empty houses and turn on some lights or walk a dog that they brought with them to make it appear as though the home is occupied
how many times is this retarded tripfag going to repost this. takes trip off because he knows no one wants to interact with a faggot tripfag thread, then baits for replies with retarded trip so it gets it's (((((attention))))). it's not slick

>>42592392I think COVID was whatever you want it to be, but the psychological and societal effects and nth-order effects can’t be understated. Permanently handicapped an entire age group, who missed a critical period for learning facial expressions and non-verbal communication.An idle mind is the devil’s plaything, and I know some people who got introduced to /x/ and faceberg conspiracies during that period that ended up losing their jobs, families, or even lifeIt also broke the social continuity of teenagers, essentially ending their childhood early, and a lot of people who fizzled out socially just never even tried to get it back… since it’s been on a steady decline generation after generation anywayPeople got addicted to news and doomscrolling, too, which is basically a 24/7 advertisement to never leave your houseWorld’s twisted right now, and covid experience (including the vaccine drama/trauma) deserves a lot of the blame
>>42590873Lucky fuck, I wish I was alone in the world. But no I have to deal with dumb fuck retards every day. So stop bragging asshole.
>>42591516People are just too fucking lazy to take them down. My neighbors have had their Halloween lights up for 5 years. Had to grow a fucking forest to block out the light because they leave them plugged in 24/7.
>>42593111So since 2021? This is when the empty vibes started.
>>42593120Fuck off retard.

Bump
For starters the population numbers are fake, there are way way fewer people here than they claim.People are just pushed into small areas to create the illusion of population.It's decreased even further, the desolation is everywhere now.
>>42590873i have a side comment but basically related. forgive me, i am not here to derail the thread. it feels like the amount of npc people has decreased along with the soul people and the quality has also dropped. Any interaction i have with a new person (npc) turns negative. like an insult, backhanded compliment and protracted time gets even worse. Awkward social visits, open arguments and even a few lawsuits. real lawsuits, in real court. i do my best to avoid any interaction at all. the other thing ive noticed lately and especially this year is a strong feeling of apathy/malaise. Nothing is interesting anymore. Nothing is entertaining. Nothing is fun or even challenging. i do realize that we are bombarded with overstimulating "news" and hidden advertising along with new ideas like multi dimensions, aliens, secret tech, blah blah. Boring. So fucking boring. its clearly a slow drip so the shills can make money lying to us all on the podcasts. my dreams lately have been a combination of work, same job i have in this dreamworld, except ive been unemployed all tear and a couple days of mallworld. anyone else care to comment? just me?
>>42595210there is no meaningful population at all. the NPC population is situated around areas you normally go. they are populated when you go out or show up somewhere. Go somewhere youve never been sometime without any thought or plan or gps. Just show up somewhere new and quickly go inside. Restaurants are good for this. Observe how bad the npc actors are. Some of them stare at you. Tables are all mixed up by skin color and age. They had to quickly fill the room up with whoever. I went to a carwash abruptly in a town about 2 hours from where i live. there were about 15-20 cars in line, engines running, no drivers or passengers. If i had just passed by I would have seen a busy car wash, but becasue i stopped without any prior plan, they couldnt keep up. i sat for about 5 minutes and ended up backing out and leaving. Not one car moved or even entered the wash. The simulation is running out of capacity. maybe the "data centers" are a temporary fix. I cant help but think this has something to do with the terminal ending of Project Looking Glass.
>>42590873I have been feeling this for decades.
>>42590873yeah yeah, the rapture happened, get on with the program , the good ones got beamed up , prepare accordingly
>>42592362you? choking on some tyrone's dick
>>42596122checked
>>42596122Name based gangstalking, you not slick at all, very bold.
>>42590873Demiurge died. Troubles may arise.
>>42590873thats how covid felt and it was amazing walking around outside
>>42590873I just think I should move to your area. Here's full of very real retarded loud people. The very opposite happened here. Before 2010, it was a nice little town with lots of retired people and a few young folks screwing around. Now it's a protestant work city with almost 100k plus of population, it gets busy and crowded even in the weekends although we have literally nothing to do here in terms of fun and most of the stores closes saturday noon. That's even more uncanny to me than the ghost town vibe I used to feel 15 years ago, which I miss.
>>42596391That is weird. But I would take the time to feel the vibes of it it actually feels full. Ass I said, I still see plenty of people, but it still feels empty. Also, I also feel like we got 'new visitors' since Covid. Many people have an outsider vibe.
ITT NEET retards who never go out making absurd claims It’s because the economy is dog shit but people are working and here in Chicago, the traffic is worse prior to the pandemic. I do sometimes wonder how many of those people are actually ‘humans’ and actually have a real job because I do suspect that there’s a population of people who work in black projects but have to play their part in looking as normal as possible. Once I saw a weird plate that had something like 9XXX999, pretty freaky if you ask me.
>>42596421>I also feel like we got 'new visitors' since CovidWe've been having these visitors since the 2010s, probably just local economy at the time bulldozing everything, but still I have my reserves about this. Yeah, since Covid, this worsened exponencially. The town has a weirdly stable vibe, but it's not actual stability. Like people are in some sort of decadent civilizational soulless trance. >>42596481>the traffic is worse prior to the pandemicEverywhere's like that apparently.>Once I saw a weird plate that had something like 9XXX999, pretty freaky if you ask meWhat the fuck. I see similar things also. Not in the US. Some uncanny stuff is going up. My theory is that the urban world became more like an experimentation ground from 2010 to now, more intensely after the plandemics.
Bump, again.
