Many people would rather die than think in fact many people do – Bertrand Russell. I don’t like moralisers because I don’t think all humans have an identical moral system so this text doesn’t have the intention to moralise you. Despite that our lives are made up of circumstances, good or bad and these contribute to our identity or being. In certain cases these circumstances are inevitable. For example one does not choose his country of birth or his own face. One can then ask himself if we are not barely the result of some initially chosen conditions. Some of us would recoil at that idea, after all everyone believes he has control over his actions his conscience justifying their choice. However this would be done by forgoing the amount of events that are simply beyond our control, it’s important to at least recognize this bias. Continuing on this line of thought one will quickly arrive at the conclusion that our lives are probably already written and we barely ride the waves of causality. It could be true, in fact many people think so without realizing it. In Christianity for example the chosen ones’ names are written in the book of life. This assumes that whatever the “doomed” did during their life they couldn’t escape their fate because it was already written before their lives even started. Consider this thought experiment, if someone is asked to relieve his past but without the memories he accumulated after that how will he act ? If this person just merely redoes what he did before he would have no freewill because his being is purely reactionary to the events happening to him. On the other hand if the person acts differently then can we say that in the two cases it is the same person acting? In both cases this leads to a paradox (One can argue that the paradox comes from the very fact that one goes in the past but this kind of experiment can be simplified in various ways although the memory-forgetting part may be difficult to replicate. The influence of memories on our being is something to be explored later). This paradox is however artificial because destiny, will and causality are two parts of the same coin. Two fundamental pieces that constitute a discrete world. A world of will and representation.

I messed up a steak recipe I was making and now I hope I don't get food poisoning.
Guarana Antarctica is delicious, by the way.

I’m thinking of translating, specifically I’m thinking about translating somewhere around 20-40 songs from gypsy into English and just posting them around so that they’re available. The only reason I’m not diving into it is I am unsure if I should make literal translation or metrical translations, and also if they’d even be worth the read once translated on account of how much they’re based in extremely high amounts of rhyme and assonance and alliteration that I don’t think English can so comfortably replicate with the same kind of loose feel to it.

Here’s an example

Hydeeen ah-mon-day sah ghom-al-ay pa-chiv su dey tov (Come to me all of you men, I am to celebrate with a party.)

This line alone if the rhymes and assonance were removed you’d have about 4 syllables out of 14 that do not rhyme or have assonance. And this is by no means a unique line, so much of the effects would be lost.

The song in question

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZuPLjJVx6I

So what do you anons think? Would it be interesting to have them translated even if the musicality doesn’t translate over?

Translating the meaning is probably sufficient. After all it's a song, so you can hear what it sounds like when you listen to it.

>>20401112
Irony is bad.

Life can be filled with endless wonder if you can find and follow the call of discovery. Let the question mark be your holy symbol, and find curiosity as your holy impulse.

Why not make a religion around the process of searching? Is it not something that is universal to human experience, something primordially found in the act of an organism grasping towards sustenance? Something that compels higher aspiration? Making discovery and The Unknown a holy object is inherently self-transformative, thus overcoming the petrifying effects that traditional transcendental objects have. A religion of discovery is the true religion of becoming.

Lucky bastard. My suffering is pointless

i just had an unexpected proustian flashback early today. i was heading into the bathroom to take a shit, and it's unseasonably hot and humid today, and i was shitting later in the day than usual so it was quite sunny, and the dry soap smell coming out the tub with the humid air and the slight chill of the floor and the feel of a book in my hand transported me back to my parents house in new england on a hot muggy new england afternoon where i would read something nerdy like the ad&d second edition players handbook looking at the charts and tables for the different character classes as i shat, and after a brief half a second i was back here on the edge of a city holding a statistics textbook full of charts and tables as i proceeded to shit on a hot afternoon. it was like the 20 years in between hadn't even happened and this was the next day after last. highly comfy experience t b h and i'm sure when i eventually retire i will still spend hot summer afternoons shitting and reading books filled with autistic charts and tables as well, but only time will tell what books they'll be.

I'm almost finished with university, and I don't really know what to do. I'm looking around for a decent job in my field, but with each passing day it seems I'll have to move to some western shithole just to do something interesting with my life. Only thing keeping me afloat is that parents say they are proud of me and love me.

>How have you been anon?
Stagnant.
>What have you been up to?
I'm working on a treatise . Or at least I was. My brain was full of more ideas than I could handle a few days ago. Now I'm staring at a wall. I blame this wretched heat.

Every time I start to feel like I’ve gotten myself a sense of direction I second guess it and become confused. That might be fine if I were still 16 but I’m not. This has been going on for too long.

There is just no aesthetic unity. Not even the faux futurism, the state of the world, not even the insane thought that we're floating in space is implying a sort of fundamental / overarching aesthetic, some focal point. Suffering is but again it's not so clear in many ways what's right and what isn't. I've been spamming posts like that for quite a while now, becauze identity fundamentalism in a world as complex as ours may be necessary to our human nature but is ultimately quasi impossible

After writing this I feel a little better than I did, pure non unnatural self expression, made my mind work and search for the next word, a little excersize for the imaginations inner vision, I feel cathartized, I feel content, but still, need something to do, likely a long walk with music

I went to the indie bookstore in pasadena. I dont think bookstores are a good place to strike up a conversation. Maybe I'll try a museum.

Go to the central library shoot finger guns at a cutie and invite her to the Huntington gardens. Easy pussy. Man why did your dad not teach you shit.

>>20402061
People have always told me that I give off mass shooter vibes and someone once even called the cops to tell them. I will not shoot finger guns at anyone, especially since we have red flag laws here.

>>20402077
That's no excuse. Growing up I got called a potential serial killer and a future school shooter. Guess what bitches still gave it up.

Are you an ex-gyppo? I've met quite a few very decent ex-gypsies that have broken away from the culture but apart from a gypsy king I regularly met through my work, literally all of the 'practicing' gypsies I met were completely intolerable. Extremely enigmatic group of people. I am also of the opinion that gypsy magic is real shit

>>20402097
>school shooter
these didn't even exist when i was growing up

I stopped supporting ethno-nationalism and now support creating ethnically mixed societies. My logic is that Stalin liked ethnostates, and even created them like in Poland. So ethnostates are evil.

>>20402212
>Are you an ex-gyppo?

Not at all, arranged married and all, actually pretty well-known in my culture due to my business and also for helping other gypsy with paperwork and so forth, also for being a theology autist.

> gypsy king I regularly met through my work,

Gypsy king is a lie we say to make us seem bigger and to get us more prestigious, helps manipulate people. While there is a form of interior governance in gypsy culture it’s via a kind of tribal court system that’s constantly shifting in power dynamics, and sure powerful families can arise and lone men end up ruling significant geographic areas, it is nothing like a king and we do not consider it such, people constantly gun for the position and start troubles with them in order to knock them lower on the social hierarchy.

>literally all of the 'practicing' gypsies I met were completely intolerable.

Oh yeah we’re terrible people for society and just in general, though ultimately I rather our deficiencies than the ones I see in basically every other culture other than the Jews. Not to mention that the amount of benefits, from the wholly religious culture, to effectively having thousands of people who will help you with anything, to arranged marriage and so forth, like there’s just so many advantages. I would be so much worse off in all ways if I wasn’t one.

>Extremely enigmatic group of people. I am also of the opinion that gypsy magic is real shit

It both is and isn’t, it isn’t insofar as we play up the meme because well, to put it frankly, our culture glories lying and stealing, and the psychic grift is extremely economically beneficial, however there is a conception of cursing and among gypsy who still practice our folk religion and who haven’t converted to our form of gypsy-Pentecostalism, there is some herbalism and some rituals and charms, most interesting of the charms is the chaga, which we call the ghoy, which is a kind of fungus we believe god face which we use to remove fear from people by drinking water that it has been in, the most interesting ritual that we have is something called a pomona, a kind of funeral rite where a person dresses as the dead person (done once or thrice in a year and a half period.) and a large party is thrown, the person who is in the clothes is more or less said to be possessed, and eats and drinks and smokes large quantities, because of a folk belief that it takes a year and a half to judge the soul of the person, in this time they still hunger; thus this is said to feed them. Usually the person doing this takes on the mannerisms of the deceased.

There are other weird beliefs, such as at a funeral everyone giving a dollar or more into the coffin, the idea being that if anyone were to try to stop him in his passage into heaven; they could bribe them with the money they have given, likewise also a little girl is to walk around the funeral holding a vessel of water in order to guide him across the waters.

>>20402279
>though ultimately I rather our deficiencies than the ones I see in basically every other culture other than the Jews.
what

>>20402424
Haredim Jews have basically all of the advantages of my culture except they also get an intellectual tradition.

I am racist of course, misogynist, anti sexual expression of all types especially the non straight deformities, gypsy culture is fully racist and has an old world tribalism that is again the exact same type that existed 1000 years ago, we literally buy and sell women as property rights, we beat and kill our homos and pedos if we get our hands on them, atheism when it arises in us is bullied and beaten out of the person, we are effectively a titanic family unit and thus any kind of nepotism and assistance we can offer each other we give, so on and so forth you get the idea.

Haredim Jews basically have all of this plus a titanic intellectual tradition, if they were Christian they’d be perfect.

You may say, oh but they’re nepotistic oh they harm other groups, to which I must say, every group traditionally cares for its own group at the expense of all others and this is incredibly beneficial.

>>20402545
you rascal you

I'm coming to the conclusion that "magick" (in other words, ceremonial magic) does in fact function, though it only operates through psychological channels

A spell to protect you from hostile people in your life won't physically give you a force field, but performing it with sincere belief will alter your perceptions of your experiences, give you a visible confidence that discourages attempts to fuck with you and increase your mental resilience, allowing you to shrug off harm easier. Likewise a healing spell won't mend broken bones, but it can exploit the placebo effect even in people who are aware its a placebo if they themselves understand that placebos work, and if they improve because of it that placebo effect will get stronger (albeit within physical limits)

even something a voodoo doll could hypothetically work if you interact socially with that person

>>20402550
Least you're not me I constantly push people's buttons just for attention. Threw a wad of paper in my coworkers face just because she wasn't paying enough attention to me while I was talking about fucking a stripper.

Is it worth lamenting the fact that there was a woman in your class with whom you can picture yourself happy but who you let get away without making any moves? What pains me is that I will probably never see her again and the chances of finding another one whose interests so closely match mine seem so slim. I've been sobbing over this like a child nearly ever night for the past month. T-there will be another one, r-right anons?

>>20402577
Only blood magic works. You will never get something for nothing and every real noncey spell requires some sort of bodily sacrifice. My ancestors used to slaughter slaves by the hundreds just to sustain our universe.

>>20402591
I mean, it didn't do shit to stop the spanish from toppling their entire civilization, so maybe murdering slaves isn't all you crack it up to be

>>20402604
I don't know bro. We kicked out the Spaniards and are still practicing blood sacrifices to this day.

I have this stupid impulsive personality. I'm incapable of doing things in halves. The drugs are the worst, I don't even realise I'm taking them until I've already taken them. I couldn't stop myself if I tried. But the truth is I don't want to change, obviously, that's why I am the way I am.

I want to work through the nights but I just get so damn tired. How can I find the energy?

I have no idea what sophistry is or why it's considered bad

still high off coke - walked home from a weird night saw all kinds of nice things: horses in a field, a boy and girl (18 maybe younger) on those rent electric scooters zig zagging on the road, walked beneath a tree, had the integrity (after all) to not piss behind a church but holding it til the field further up.
gave a sleeping homeless man money, an awake one picking up fag ends 2 cigs.
life is a very good gift really
had a unique experience w a girl which i kind of appreciate (if didn't necessarily enjoy as much as just flirting)
if that makes sense

Why is this board have such a hardon for this word? From the online debate community? Maybe 4chan should make a debate board. Either way, no idea or philosophy is ever going to line up or make sense 100%. There are core principles that are more important than others, and that differs from person to person. Subjectivity and all that

>>20400965
I'm trying to think of what ordinary (non-autistic) people talk about, and how they go about it. Not in a judgemental kind of way, which I think most imageboard posts asking about that take. The kind of way where you go "oh, that's trivial, it's obviously superior to bounce wikipedia trivia about the franco-prussian war off one another in a spiral of autistic special-interest snap." No, in an open-ended way. I think if I approach it right, I could learn to do it. Maybe not well, I don't think I'll ever be a conversationalist. But I think being able to hold an ordinary conversation with non-family members must be a skill that I can learn if I try.

But of course, I've no way of actually testing it out or analysing it, because to get at that kind of thing I'd have to already have some ability in it, some non-autistic friends and so on. So I'm asking, in a very oblique way, on imageboards. Where nobody is likely to be able to give me an answer because by the very fact of being on an imageboard they're probably more partial to the autistic conversation style, or, if they're able to talk normally, they probably don't think about it consciously enough to explain what they're doing, since it comes naturally. Like asking for an essay on how to ride a bike rather than really being shown. It's funny, isn't it?
But if I end the post like that, nobody here's going to answer the question I'm asking - "what do people talk about, how do they go about it?" - they're going to answer my open-ended one: Are the contradictions of my approach funny? Even this supposedly clarifying paragraph doesn't help because the final question mark lies on the second question, the rhetorical one within my actual one.
Autism and self-awareness, what a combo. What a combo indeed.

>>20402583
Yes there will be another, don't worry, you're only 17 after all.

My grandmother is having heart problems.

What is the real reason behind the American civil war? I'm not American myself, so all I know is "people for slavery and people against slavery", which doesn't make sense at all. You will never make me believe that Americans started a war on themselves just to make the life of a bunch of niggers a bit better. It's the least American thing I can imagine.

>>20403227
There is no debate. Its just a stale meme

>>20403235
I think its a crucial distinction.
I feel I stood at a privileged crossroads between the word that was and whatever it is that we're doing now.

I think the beginning of the end was not 9/11 but rather the OJ Simpson trial. That's when the world got a little meaner and a little stupider. Media basically took over our lives and never let go.

>>20400965
I find myself critically lacking in my ability to experience normal levels of emotion. Very few things feel particularly real, and all of them are negative. Lust, disgust, anger, bitterness, all of these things I seem to feel in full force. Joy, excitedness, sadness, all of these things fail to come to me in any sort of meaningful way. Lack of sadness may seem contradictory, but it seems any kind of profound emotion is out of reach while wholly negative experiences are frequent. Sadness at least has some kind of catharsis, some sense of moving on. Unfortunately, I'm left with an extant, constant level of simmering frustration with life.

>>20400965
On fortunate occasions as I take the first draw of a cigarette I am overwhelmed by the nostalgic sensation of it being my first. It’s as if I am reborn as somebody else, my body experiencing for the first time the warm and dirty impact of the smoke flowing though my lungs, the wind carrying the herbal scent through my nostrils and down to the heart. I am transported back to my youth and everything is new. Then it vanishes and I am left with an insatiable yearning, greedily pulling draw after draw, searching for the ephemeral feeling of rebirth

>>20403243
Oh give it a break, we all exist in a state of transition. I was born in 99 and I saw the transition to the smart phone in my early adolescence.
Yeah yeah yeah I'm no 90s kid (thank God) but that isnt the point. The point is that the muh 90s kid memes cime from a time when those millenials were transitioning into adulthood and trying to understand themselves and how they relate to time. At that point of waxing maturity it is acceptable to see them be exclusive and jealous of their identity. But now a decade on the continued instance on it just looks pathetic

I've been with some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and it's amazing how regardless of their beauty it just get uninteresting after several months. I just start treating them worse, ignoring them, and moving on to eventually cheat or leave. Maybe I'm just not at the age to settle down and in a different time I'd be spreading my seed.

>Do you think this is something that just happens magically?
Yeah probably after 30.
> Quit giving yourself excuses for being a shitty person.
I don't need an excuse.

I still love seeing them on Instagram because they're so beautiful, but I don't watch their stories because I dread that they'll message me and remind me about the time when I had to talk to them. They're so much more beautiful when they don't talk.

>Yeah probably after 30.
I'm 33. Nothing will magically change on its own. The only thing that'll happen is your bad habits will further cement themselves into your behavior, and if you ever do decide you want to become a decent person, it'll be that much harder with the weight of all that experience. To boot, women start catching on — the ones you'll want to settle down with, at least. They'll have been there, done that. If you want to settle down with the lying, cheating, ghosting cunt who is your equal, well, keep going as you have been. If not, there's no better time to change than the present.

>women start catching on — the ones you'll want to settle down with, at least.
Come on now... Not only will they never know my dating past, but they wouldn't even care anyway. If you tell them they're different and you've changed, it simply works. That's what makes women beautiful.
>no better time to change than the present.
I'm good. I'm not going to throw away my 20s to fake being someone I'm not. I'll worry about my 30s when I'm there.

>>20403410
>If you tell them they're different and you've changed, it simply works
No, not really my man. I'm sorry to say, but this sort of thing is precisely what I'm talking about when I say that women start catching on. By the time you think you're ready to settle down, women will have hardened to that kind of by-the-book playboy behavior. You're not the only person running around playing these games, you know? The good women will sadly have already been burned by someone like you by the time they're in their late twenties. They'll have learned their lesson.

It's easy to think that because something works now, it'll always work. Reality, unfortunately, isn't as simple as that. You're just setting yourself up for a shitty time down the line, especially if you're already looking to build a later relationship built on lies.

This might sound retarded but do you think it's weird to hug a girl upon greeting at the first date? Not a tight hug of course just a greeting hug. Everyone I know hugs to greet around here so it is my normal go to, but I've had mixed reactions from girls and now I'm in my head about it.

>>20403611

>>20403611

>>20404067
ywnbaw

>>20404067
an unfortunate combo of what is generally considered to be a high-brow hobby, attracting uptight people in general (and trolls to rile them up), and over half of the userbase treating it as an outpost in their 100 year gamergate e-war

>>20404096
I'll have you know that I do not like video games.

>>20404096
Why do high-brow hobbies attract uptight people?

>>20404114
because there's prestige (real or imagined) involved

>>20404117

they typically require a lot of mental focus and attention to detail and that's more likely to appeal to people with neurotic traits

>>20404132
because someone might make fun of you if you have a totally incorrect interpretation of some old greek homo or 19th century novel. this idea of yourself that you've been cultivating is torn apart in seconds. this is why "retard" always gets thrown out within three posts on this board

meanwhile no one cares about that shit if you're into splatter films. it's all good just enjoy the tits and the savini effects bro

>>20404172
That's a good point I think. Neuroticism leads to analytical hobbies, making analytical hobbies more neurotic. So nothing to do with the hobby itself requiring neuroticism but rather neurotics ending up choosing it. I think. I'm just trying to figure out the causation but not sure if my distinction is meaningful.

>>20404165
fuck shit up and start a riot

>>20404180
>this is why "retard" always gets thrown out within three posts on this board
Even more telling is the popularity of "pseud" and "midwit". If you use these names on other boards like /pol/ no one cares because their self-worth is not based on supposed intelligence.

>>20404180
The solution is to try to be completely and unabashedly okay with being wrong. The standard of being correct about everything 100% of the time is unrealistic, and always will be. There exist only people who, to varying degrees of success, cultivate the image thereof. The solipsistic nature of the internet makes these internal images easier to uphold, but they're just simulacra. The utter peace inherent to the openness to being wrong is fantastic, especially when paired with the desire to nevertheless be right.

>>20404165
Literally me but in 4 months.

>>20404207
>The solution is to try to be completely and unabashedly okay with being wrong.
The solution could also be to indulge in it as it is a good motivator to pursue knowledge, and it is usually not really debilitating so overall positive for many.

>>20404192
good point, and that is why nothing creatively interesting ever happens on this board. people are so tightly lashed to the safety of canonical writers who have lived for centuries. all those "art died after 1789/1945/1968" etc comments, giving up before you've even started. it's why anons use cormac mccarthy to put down marcel proust instead of articulating a critique of their own. it's why all major /lit/ writing projects are memes, in-jokes and irony

few dare to show their ass, but genius walks on the bones of midwits

Any action can be justified by an expert. Consequently, there are no unjustified actions, but actions whose justification we have not yet heard.

The expert is comparable to that divine scientist in whose infinite book all possible formulas are inscribed. The expert does not have to exist, he only has to be conceivable.

Everything can be justified. Therefore, nothing requires justification.

My illness is acting up again

I've been getting these "I want to be a woman" thoughts lately. Upon closer inspection it seems that I want to be a perfect hermaphrodite so I could have sex with myself and completely ascend feelings of disappointment, probability of rejection and getting cheated on. Its an ideal of perfection to me - to be a beautiful painting adored by everyone.

Every time I have to see my mother I’m unable to focus or think clearly for weeks. My self esteem tanks, I binge alcohol and edibles for a couple days, and I come back to this website. Knowing I came from a fat, useless moron makes any attempt at bettering myself seem impossible. I want to love her and I try to be kind but I don’t know how to do those things without returning to self-destructive habits. I’ve been told to find a wife and put that positive energy towards her but I’m too boring and unlikable for anyone worth marrying. I’d even take a self-loathing woc or ftm at this point. Thank you for reading my diary.

>>20403347

>>20402973
I'd like to know too. I saw a good post about it before but it's lost to me now. It compared socialising to a sort of childlike game of 'play' where both parties keep giving and taking and expounding on what's being said to keep the flow of the conversation going, I don't think the substance of what's being said is at all important. The anon said that there's an unwritten social rulebook for this game of conversational play that autists are unaware of and kinda laid it all out in his post, I'm desperately hoping someone knows what I'm referring to

>>20404465
He said beautiful women

Sometimes it bothers me that I’m moderately close to my family. It makes me feel trapped here.

I got a job... But at what cost?

i am in a long distance relationship. It’s very frustrating because more often than not it feels like I am not even in a relationship. I am autistic (colloquial use) and therefore cannot tell when they are joking or being mean or belittling me through text. Why the fuck is a short phone call so hard to spare? They tell me they love me but I feel that’s just a way to keep me coming back after they know they’ve been distant. I hate cocky people. They tell me to call more often. And so I call. They never answer or return the message. It makes me feel like the last of their priorities. I wonder if the conception and practice of “love” by the two genders is too fundamentally different to reconcile. I will never be able to embrace that though, because then what? The worry doesn’t go away. They tell me to change things about my appearance and presentation. I worry they think I’m disgusting. I am not disgusting but they can be quite critical. They are much more romantically experienced and when I speak of my insecurities they use them against me later in jokes. They do not act the same as they did when we first knew each other and later lived together. Are things always so difficult? What the fuck is the point of this. Why can’t anyone say what they mean or want to say. Why can’t I do it either? It’s the thing I want to do more than anything else but it does not come as easily as it should. Being online makes this so much worse. I should leave but then I would have no way to contact them. I want to see them again but all i get is noncommittal maybes or it would be nices

>>20404315
>>20404338
It’s cross my mind for preservations sake to write up and collect as much of our folklore, traditions and even write a dictionary of our language and the like, the reason I don’t though is traditionally do not read or write and our traditions have no real worry of going instinct, on the other hand just sharing knowledge is a good thing in itself. The idea crosses my mind sometimes though.

Every written account of our culture and customs Ive read is just plainly false, either due to a kind of Orientalism or due to us gypsy ourselves lying to puff ourselves up in the imagination of people we’re trying to scam, I feel like I’m one of the few gypsy who would talk freely about how much lying and thieving is genuinely a center of our culture.

Eh, Europe knows the negative aspects of our culture enough, it’s why even normie euros will say how they despise us, and in America where we’re clustered the locals all know us, we still lie and steal and scam fine, but if the person was knowledgeable about us in the first place they wouldn’t get involved.

Now I'm not saying this as some defeatist mantra to give you an out, this is about me:

true patience would be to just take the L.
I've been trying so hard to hold on, thinking that true patience is holding on against all odds to the hope and refusing to let go. But what I really need to endure is the fact that there is no fighting for this, to accept that it's over and take the hit. It's a big hit but there is no fighting it and all I'm doing is causing trouble.

yes, yes, I know, you're all the heroes in your own novels.

There are more tangled alliances than at any point in living memory, pushing the possibilities of global cooperation to their limit. Nations are stockpiling weapons which are more destructive than any ever used previously. Aging populations are triggering labor shortages, which are resulting in higher prices, rising inflation, and all the civil turbulence that comes with that. And of course don’t forget rising rates of nationalism, unrealistic techno-optimism, generational stark declines in religiosity, and the introduction of a new and destabilizing information technology. My take is that the first truly global conflict is on the horizon.

undulating blackened gums clack creme pearls staccatto to the oscillations of the soda fountain. the blue lit husks on the windowsill swirl gently in place and shadows dart furtively across the far wall as Casey steps nimbly out the door into twilight, turning as she goes to slip a glimpse of the clerk staring, eyes shielded and teeth bared, a hulking mass of fat and awkward joviality. the glint of his name tag, the name hidden by the amber glass of sunset, BOB, tracing in her retinas like bottlerockets.
She skips lightly across the pavement, her mouth greased with pus, spitting and clacking to her worn pink flip flops. Her arms swing hungrily yet aimlessly, recoiling as she brushes a bush and ambles down the sidewalk. BOB didnt have no kore money for Casey tomorrow
she squealed, eyes rolling and jaw galloping in bursts, now dashing down the sidewalk and twirling effortlessly across the rays of sun like a shade sliding over glass

I'm so tired of my life revolving around my brothers. My entire life narrative could he defined as reacting to their self destructive behaviors. So much I have sacrificed for them and it has achieved nothing.
Its also defined by their neediness. They always need something. They always need me to be doing something for them. They expect me to just give away entire days or weekends ferrying them around. Just today they expect me to drive to another city to pick up Brother A and drive back to this city to drop him off with Brother B. Then I'll have to drop brother A off back to his original city later. Just this consuming back and forth and it would occupy my entire sunday to do it. All because neither of them ever learned to drive. So now it's my task to play taxi. I want to do things for myself.

Sounds based.

They sang the song that elevated humanity. Hundreds of thousands of inspired voices emerged from the global crisis and spoke powerful testimony about the value of life and the wonder of the universe. Their communications would touch the souls of billions and inspire incredible personal and social transformations. They would give birth to a generation of creatives that would outshine even them.

It most definitely was not called "normal," but the opposite: a strangification of experience; a socially infectious enchantment with life and all of existence. It was a psycho-social singularity, a singularity of human relationships including the transpersonal. What led it is the call of wonder, what drove it was the desire of curiosity at its greatest heights of aspiration.

Have you ever had a teacher who truly loved and lived to teach? Who had an overwhelming passion for teaching that made them an outstanding instructor? The kind of teacher who successfully infects students with the desire to learn and explore?

I have! I know they exist! I know how they have touched me! I have felt the same spark of inspiration in so many including writers, philosophers, artists, scientists, and their greatest passions speak of this blissful love of learning. If such passions could touch the hearts of the masses, it would be the single most transformative event in human history.

This is my greatest dream, and one day it will become a reality.

I went for a hug upon meeting a girl for the first time and she rejected it. However within ten minutes I was fucking her on the couch and eating her pussy. The odd thing was that we never kissed throughout the entire ordeal. Was she just not attracted to me, did she only want my mediocre white cock? She was mixed race black/latina, extremely mentally ill and immediately after my cock went soft she began hyperventilating; I ran out for a cigarette and when I came back she was asleep.

look above

i went to church today. it was a large theatre with a band and skilled public speaker. i sat on a balcony overlooking at least 500 people, sleep deprived and jittery from too much caffeine. the speaker related christian ideas about loving others despite their differences to modern U.S. politics, and talked about how God loves everyone, regardless of their political opinions—and so should we.
as i looked over the crowd of people, i was overcome by a strange sensation. i saw hundreds of mammals, all sitting silently, looking at the speaker on stage attempting to harmonize every one of them under the same frequency of thought. it seemed as though an Idea had possessed him and was governing him to spread itself outwards, with the ultimate goal of achieving total and complete harmony. was this God?
as the sensation set in, i began to feel uneasy, sick even. i couldn't believe that God was really involved; i felt certain that some bastardization of God was at play here. i was struck with a horrifying idea—that globalism and leftist ideologies are the decomposing, zombie corpse of Christianity.
the thought that we're stuck in this decomposing body of a great goliath caused me real distress. the more i listened to his sermon, the sicker i felt. i'm probably being melodramatic, but it still worries me.

this confuses me a lot. i flipped to that part in my bible and read the surrounding parts, then went to type out some questions that might clarify my confusion, but i can't seem to formulate them

>>20405941
I think this is the reason that Christianity does comport with politics, though. It is not formulated to deal with these matters because it exists in contradistinction to worldly affairs. That's why you can't really arrive at a convincing Christian position on most political issues.

Nothing about how the war in Ukraine has gone has changed my prediction from the beginning of March: that it will end with Ukraine basically getting cut in two, with Russia taking everything east of the Dnieper. Both Ukraine's successes and Russia's successes have basically reinforced this as the most likely outcome.

No, one of the whores I was fucking got rejected by her old job because she was unqualified even though she worked the job for a year before she took a semester abroad. Getting hired is just being lucky enough to meet the person in charge of hiring on a good day.

i see. i'd like to understand this better. i've written some questions, but I suspect they might be misguided or nonsensical. if you can't be bothered to answer them, i would understand.

>1. when Jesus said what He said in John 15:19, was he talking to mankind as a whole or only to Christians?
>2. if He was talking only to Christians, why? weren't all men were created by God for the purpose of loving and being loved by Him? it feels strange that God would create man with the knowledge that only a minority of them would love Him; it seems almost cruel to condemn the majority of men to a life devoid of a relationship with God.
>3. if, on the other hand, He was talking to mankind as a whole, shouldn't that mean the "world" he spoke of wasn't intended to mean society/other humans, but rather the natural world (i.e., animals, death, pain, etc.)?

anyone else also hate people who hum and whistle all the time

Try a smaller church

Life is like a waltz, a slow dance. It feels like I'm dancing alone, I wish the music would end soon. I wouldn't want to have to turn it off myself.

I think he is speaking only to Christians.
>2. if He was talking only to Christians, why? weren't all men were created by God for the purpose of loving and being loved by Him? it feels strange that God would create man with the knowledge that only a minority of them would love Him; it seems almost cruel to condemn the majority of men to a life devoid of a relationship with God.
This opens a whole slew of issues that Christians have debated through the centuries. I'm not really a Christian anymore and trying to argue this just makes me feel exhausted. My opinion doesn't really matter anyway. But if someone does not find a relationship with God, is that necessarily God's fault? Should he force them? If everyone must have a relationship with him, does that entail universalism? What of sin? If you do not find forgiveness through Christ for your sins, what then? That's the point after all, is it not?
>3. if, on the other hand, He was talking to mankind as a whole, shouldn't that mean the "world" he spoke of wasn't intended to mean society/other humans, but rather the natural world (i.e., animals, death, pain, etc.)?
If you want to get technical about it, in Christianity the world as it exists today is not the natural world, but a world under the curse of sin. Death is due to sin and was not part of the original design of the world in Eden.

Gayest shit ever. Been to bars in West Hollywood that are less gay.

>>20400965
i like feet but i don't consider it a fetish. it's a body part, it should be considered normal to find the entire human body attractive. if a man is distinctly disgusted by women's feet, it think that's pretty gay of him.
it's only a fetish if the attraction is very disproportionate and/or involves fetishistic behavior like a love for shoes, nail polish, toe rings, anklets etc. stuff like stepping and kicking and foot worship is fetishism, just sucking your girl's toes before you fuck her isn't
if my attraction to feet is fetishistic then so is attraction to breasts and asses

>>20406025
Being unable to whistle is a sign of homosexuality.

>>20406163
My guy. My girl has lovely feet just like every other part of her. She finds it gross when I grab her feet while I'm mating pressing her and would never give me an oiled up footjob. Fuck my life.

>>20406178
women all think it's weird till they get their toes licked good n right. i've turned many skeptics into believers. knowing the right way to lick feet can score you more points than knowing how to eat pussy
the feet are an extremely powerful erogenous zone
