Dear Love,
why don't you love me anymore?
Is it because I encourage and finance Chinese-backed, tribal proxy wars in Nigeria?
Is it because I have a mole in an unsavoury place?
Is it because I squandered our savings on a golden statue of Tony Blair?
Or is it because I purchased the Vatican with inherited blood money made from selling looted art during the Holocaust and demolished it to make way for my signature, soul-food restaurant chain?
Perhaps it is a combination of these things
or perhaps it is much simpler.
Who knows?
Love is complicated.
Perhaps you merely grew tired of me;
we grew tired of each other and our manifold and shared incorrigibilities.
You were always scolding me for not washing the dishes in a punctual manner.
But I am not sad.
I recall the good times.
And with the recent death of Khashoggi,
business seems to be looking up.
Yours sincerely, Lover.

I'm just so unbelievably fucking tired.
I'm stuck in some shitty esoteric loop that gives me satisfaction while I run it but still only has spotty connections with my actual lived life. There are some attachments that I couldn't even understand how a human could detach from them. Basic things like a need to be loved. Having feet to stand on at all. I could do the cheeky thing and play at insanity, saying all of this is superfluous and I do not need to touch ground, but this is a silly game and I can't afford being such a fucking wanker. All spiritual doctrines teach that we should detach from the worry of how we will support ourselves. I suspect we are supposed to let "life" play it, run its course, and that part of ultimate insight is realizing that "life" does indeed run its course. All you can do is not let it torment you, and when it doesn't then you can carry it, and once you can carry it then you can carry others. You just have to realize that the "you" making the choice is separate from "life", it is life. Never born it never dies.

Now how the fuck do you live that? I think a first step would be to no longer view other human beings as moral subjects, but rather as tangles of karmic circuits tacked onto the divine light of a soul, neither of which can really hold much guilt, and neither of which "you", as a tangle of karmic circuits, really have any power to destroy by anything you do. Neither you nor they are real moral subjects. Your only real choices are trying to let the light shine through, or not trying. the rest only consequences. So I suspect. Maybe this can be lived, but it changes radically what other people are.

I can't help but feel that me calling her to talk about things scared her off a bit, but at the same time, from my perspective, she was not being a very good person to me. What do you guys think? I've only sent her a couple messages over the past couple weeks since I'm not the kind of person who spams someone who clearly doesn't want to talk to me. I just told her that I care about her a lot so it kinda hurts when she ignores me, and that I hope she's doing well. I also asked if I had done something to upset her, but that of course was also ignored.

Thinking aloud here, I suppose the nature of women makes them bad at being women when outside the standard evolutionary environment, or at least as far away from the evolutionary social environment as they were with the French, Scientific and Industrial Revolutions, and a sexual revolution soon followed.

Here's a poem I wrote for a schizoid female friend of mine, it's in French but I'd like some feedback :


Camille aux camisoles, assez naive pour croire en l'homme.
Morte, pourtant se meut.
Gavée de pilules, elle danse au milieu des fous.
Les autres, bien nés, se jouent de son malheur.
La neige tombe sur son petit studio.
Dans l'edredon blanc, il s'emitoufle.
Enfin, je suis débarrassé de l'indesirable, se dit-il avec entrain.
Camille, ne se désirant plus, ne rêvant que de belles bottes de ciment
Morte, pourtant se meut.
Au fond de l'eau, elle danse pour les poissons.
Le regard vide, ils se jouent de son malheur.
La neige tombe sur son petit toît.
Bientôt, je serai débarrassée de l'indésirable, se dit la rivière avec entrain.

How to get gf?
My sexual frustation has only worsen ever since taking 30mg Zinc Picolinate everyday.
It had also been getting to a point where unsolicited images would suddenly appear in my mind. Images where I can see myself bare naked, an erected penis, and like a wildman, I would lunge on a temptress who is completely unaware of my presence, pinning her down by pushing my hands against hers with all my might and allowing my whole body to weigh her down to the soil.
I would then slide both of her arms over her head allowing me to hold it with one arm, and with the free one, I would free her lower body of any covering but her underwear. Reaching for my manhood, I would then guide it towards her groin, setting her underwear aside with the head, and, without any intention to penetrate, I would glide my phallus back and forth on her labia lubricated by its juices. Shivering, realizing her helplessness, the whore eventually gives up any resistance against me. My hands, now that they no longer need to put out any force, has all the freedom to explore the temptress's body. They can run themselves along her spine, they can glide themselves inbetween her ribs, grope her breast, or insert themselves into the temptress's salivating mouth. All this would eventually lead to penetration.
I had sought the help of people in a position for these kind of thoughts. They were of no use other than telling me that I should fornicate with a woman. It had been years ever since my last sexual experience. I have no intent to harm a woman. It's just that I need to dissipate my sexual energy into one of them

May very well but it's worth trying once right? If i don't like it then it's just money saved and i don't have to worry about it anymore. But really i work and have very few expenses so paying an escort isn't really a lot of money, i already spend more on cigarettes for gods sake. I didn't really care much about sex before but this year I've been going crazy thinking about it 24/7. I just need some kind of release.

I supplement with Zinc (in the form of picolinate which has good bioavailability) because I had suspected that I may be low on it given that I rarely eat red meat or shellfish-its best sources. Might be placebo but ever since taking it for a week I had noticed that I am once again getting morning woods and random erections, I unironically started to let out gas from my anus more frequently and loudly, I keep dreaming vividly every night, and I no longer get wrist ache from mincing whole bulbs of garlic every day. Those are the most noticeable ones. I know that I should consult a doctor before taking anything but 30mg is still below the upper tolerable limit so no worries.

That guy you're replying to isn't me. She is/was my best friend, and I never brought up a relationship with her because I have been very apprehensive of getting too close to her due to some very bad habits she has and what she did to me at the end of last year.

>>17159137
We already talked about what she did last year and I explicitly forgave her for it, so I'm not sure why she would still be feeling bad over it. I've been planning on giving her space to work through whatever is going on with her, since there's nothing really left for me to do at this point. I've told her that her actions hurt me and that I care about her, so there isn't much left for me to say I suppose. It just feels really bad because I have no idea why she won't talk to me. Things seemed fine just a few weeks ago when we were hanging out all night multiple times a week, just to abruptly be given a cold shoulder. I know she goes through seasonal depression, so I'm hoping that this is just something that will pass

Probably the most nihilistic thought I can have is the realization that everything ultimately reduces down to chasing a high. Even my own intellectual curiosities and explorations, which I take pride in, are just another high to be chased. Morality and acts of do goodery are another high. Granted, these highs are distinguished from purely hedonistic highs in the sense that they carry at least the prospect of some benefit to myself or others outside of the stimulus of the high itself. Addiction is a tight suffocating circle: the motive and the pleasure become a strict loop, and nothing exists outside of it, and it lives only for itself. To say I'm addicted to knowlege sounds odd; but what really is the difference between an addiction and a passion if not this subtle distinction between a reward as an end in itself or as a means to something greater?
Even hugging my own mother feels like I am being compelled by some bogus imperative that it "feels good", there is no underlying reason. At the end of the day this is a worthless thought unless you happen to be, like me, hopped up on the drug of philosophy.

let the yeast activate in the lukewarm water at the bottom of your mixing bowl for about a minute. then add the sugar, salt, and butter. let that stand for 30 seconds or so and begin adding in your flour a cup or so at a time. mix it with a big spoon or if you have a stand mixer you can use the dough hook. do that for about 4 minutes. the dough is ready to be kneaded if it resumes shape after being poked. knead it for 4 minutes on a floured surface and then roll it in a ball and cover it with a cheesecloth or some other towel for about 1--15 minutes. while this is happening boil your water and dump in your baking soda. take off about 1/2 cup sections of your pretzel loaf and roll them out to about 24in/61 cm and then twist the ends together twice and lay them over the circle to form your pretzel shape. toss 1-2 pretzels at a time into the baking soda bath and remove them with a slotted spatula after 25 seconds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and greased with butter or some other oil of your choice. sprinkle with coarse salt and bake at 400 degrees in the oven for about 12 minutes or until they are golden brown.

It might not be a panic attack so much as symptoms you're going to faint. They're easy to confuse. I faint sometimes from anemia/under eating, and I'm about ten pounds heavier than you. The second last time I thought I was going to faint, I was relieved to find out it was a panic attack because I was in public and people will call an ambulance on you if you faint in public. I'd recommend working on your diet so you don't get other under eating problems. Shit like going blind or having to lay down with your legs elevated so your heart/brain doesn't run out of blood/oxygen is not fun, so most of my diet is built around that not happening so often. Panic attacks are relatively quick and painless compared to those problems, and you're pretty unlikely to faint from one.

Some months ago i met this girl online, she was depressed because her bf left her and was obviusly seeking help, i took the bait and we clicked instantly, liked the same things, chatted a lot, i then helped her get back with the bf even when he was obviusly bad for her (he is super jealous and the girl is preatty open with sex things) because im stupid and wanted to make her happy. The bf was so jealous he wanted to read her chats and found out mine was pretty flirty because i talk a lot about hentai and fetishes. After a while she said she didnt want to talk to me anymore because her bf is more important and blocked me. I never told her about my feelings nor how i think the bf is bad for her because my self esteem is so low i cant imagine someone liking me more than any other person. Thx for the vent, the question is should i chase her knowing that my message could make her depressed again or just bury my feelings and live with the remorse until i forget it?

I am giving myself to consumerism and the carrot on the stick capitalist approach to life beacuase otherwise life is a nightmare that ends in death, it's a void.
I am consumed by a constant, never ending fear of death. It's no longer just ceasing to exist, now it's how it is going to come.
I live long enough to become a senile suffering husk? maybe I'll get dementia, maybe I will die in a car crash or tortured to death, or in a freak acccident or in a violent robbery or by breaking my neck or by developing a cancer somewhere.
10 years went by, I was confused and afraid, I picked up dreams and left them behind to rot. Now all I have is this vision of hard work and dedication leading to "success", leading to having nice shiny things in a nice shiny country while I make myself feel proud I accomplished something. I want to fuck I want to scream I don't know what the fuck I want anymore. I don't know what I am working towards other than "success". I want to accomplish something, that's all that has changed in 10 years, and that something is a nice car in a nice place. And everything feels absurd.

We are conditioned to revolve our lives around possessions. Our time is spent accumulating more and more things. We then need to buy a bigger house to store all these things in, which requires that we spend greater amounts of time at work earning money to afford it. I prefer the simple, quiet life free of these distractions, gizmos, knick knacks, and frivolities. For me I simply need a warm bed or wish to enjoy solitary pursuits like reading a book or painting. I place greater value on experiences than material possessions, on life rather than things. It is imperative that human beings break free of this mental slavery to material possession in order to truly be free.

i've been invited multiple times to a party tonight and a good friend is going and she said she wants to see me, but its mostly her old friends so realistically i'll have to make smalltalk with strangers and do that whole spiel. there will be music which may or may not be good. company might be fun because parties are always what you make of them and chances are i might have a laugh and meet some interesting people (maybe).
on the other hand i'm kind of enjoying being alone, i have my music and other media here and enough alcohol and drugs to keep me entertained. it's also a full moon and it is illuminating this rural property nicely. frogs and insects are chirping and theres a distant sound of bass coming from a houseparty somewhere in the valley which isnt bothering me.

People aren't good at evaluating their own actions. I know a lot of people who code, do data security, and all kinds of computer things that bore me to tears but apparently pay them well. They envy my totally empty spam bin and my near zero online footprint, and refuse to accept the cause is just I didn't sign up for those things.

I knew an IT professor who used random 20+ character passwords he had memorized and not written down anywhere, not even on a scrap of paper in a safe. People who understand internet technology put extremely limited trust in it, because the system is far too complicated to understand completely and flaws are always sitting out in the open waiting to be discovered and exploited.

Wrote this short poem while thinking about the new year and time. Do tell how it comes off
A question to time and an answer

How chance the roses there do fade so fast?
and the virgin marble must be broken?
because the light of life must never last
and calm silence is the last word spoken


Shall I then silent be, or shall I speak?
and will I wake or shall I stay asleep?
the young trees are soft and terribly weak
yet the strong tree is slain and cannot weep

will the mother who’s maw mangles her young
mingle my breath with the briar’s own blight ?
or will the Welkin’s Wyvern whirl his ancient tongue
and let me dwell in eternal delight?

the question of the bard I shall not wait
my heart has chose to have undying faith

same. I went through something very similar to op this summer. Months of these same antics of me telling her that I want to hangout she says yes and then doesn't answer messages and changes dates.

I really liked her and was in love with her. I felt closest to her in the whole world. I realized that it was always me that was reaching out to hangout so I decided to test something. I was going to wait until she invited me to hangout. It has been probably around four months since I last messaged her and she has neglected to message me at all. I found out just how much she cared about me.

We're still really good friends and have met at parties a few times since then, but the lesson I learned is that you can never chase someone that doesn't want to be chased by you. Sure, they say ZOMG I WOULD LOVE TO HANGOUT!, but really she's just trying to be a "good person." She's trying to be polite and a "good friend" but you're not what she wants. Her actions make that clear. The bottom line, she's getting more out of this than you are. She's taking advantage of your attention and compassion for her, all the while she is still wating for someone she actually likes to appear. Never try to date someone who has to try to like you. If she hasn't made an effort in your relationship now don't expect her to change her personality on a dime. Accept the way she has acted as she truly is. Always with women, trust their actions not their words. I love you anon. Good luck.

Love you too, anon. It sucks, but her actions really have shown me just how much she cares about me, which is not at all at the end of the day. It really did seem like she wanted to date me for a while, and we were starting to act like a couple despite not explicitly talking about it, but something happened that completely changed how she felt overnight. I've come to terms with the fact that I may never know what happened. It could have absolutely nothing to do with me, but the way she has treated me has shown me that I need to focus my attention elsewhere. I've been told repeatedly by other people that she's not a good person, and despite my efforts to see the good in her, perhaps it's time for me to face reality

I know this is a retarded place to ask for advice but i feel like I'm at a dead end. I just broke up with my girlfriend of 3 months due to our age difference. I'm 24 and she's 20. I know that's not an enormous gap and there are obviously much bigger age differences out there, but it was something that bothered me from the very beginning. The thing is, when we're together one on one the age difference doesn't feel noticeable at all, but when we hang out with her friends (some of which are 19) I just felt like the biggest weirdo. I felt completely out of place and like I had no idea what I was doing there. It doesn't help that she's got a baby face and looks quite young too. But again, I don't really notice the baby face when it's just the two of us - but as soon as I look at a photo of her or I see the two of us in a mirror it just strikes me that I look like I'm walking around with a child. I can't tell how much of this is in my head or if it's something that I should even be worried about. My heart tells me that I should ignore these concerns and love her for her, but I just can't shake off the anxiety.
