It's weird. I am relatively happy with my own personal life and choices, but I am unhappy with the world at large and the way it is headed. I can try to tune out the outside world and create my little island of happiness, but that seems fake, like a coping mechanism.

My current melancholy is a result of watching this documentary last night about Anglo-American interventions in the Middle East, particularly in Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. It was a rather depressing affair, and some of the footage depicting the war and tortures was hard to watch. I try to avoid gory things but that documentary had a lot of it.

Are you me. I am trying really hard to be positive because my life is pretty good. But I do not like any of the current societal currents that have emerged in the last decade.
Reading Nietzsche helped quite a bit with this. I do not see any other way other than creating your own values and living on your own "island" with a selected group of like-minded peers.

It is my birthday today and it's very interesting to see increasingly less people wish me a happy birthday each year on my facebook wall. While I was in highschool, despite being a loner, at least 10 people would wish me a happy birthday. But nowadays only 2 people, one an under classman and another I haven't spoken to since middle school, have wished me a happy birthday. I suppose this is natural as wishing your peers a happy birthday is more of a ritual and not an indication of friendship, but it's still pitiful to be in this situation.

I feel that in the future, languages outside of English or Mandarin will become hobbyist things, where people only learn new languages for cultural or artistic reasons. I dunno how to feel about this. Given how many people there are, it is certain that pretty much every language of note today will have a community of people interested in it in the future, but still.

I'm saying you are the language learner of the future. People will learn languages as a hobby or for the sake of the language itself. The age of learning a language out of need is over for most of us. Maybe in the far future, the only people who learn languages will be people who really like the languages they learn for aesthetic/artistic reasons.

I am at a desperate impasse. I wanted to write a novel in the beginning of 2019, but realized, despite the knowledge I had of literature, of structure, and of writing, I had little in the way of subject matter. I drop out of university, needing to up my grades to get into the department I want, and so I have time to neet out. Now for the past year and a couple months I have had a ravenous media diet, expanding from what people consider typically very good, perhaps even high art, to futanari matriarchal space society rape doujins, all to get an idea of what can I write about, what can I take an inject my thought, my observations, and my ideas into. I have found myself engaging in books on the tarot, the works of Marshall McLuhan, a lot of Type-Moon, Lolita (Nabokov in general), history books on Indonesia and India, business management textbooks, terribly written fanfiction, my highschool maths textbooks laying about, the Bible, Moby Dick, my mom's purple sex smut romances she keeps around, phonebooks, Frankie and Grace, a book on masturbation for Christian youths,my sister's suicide notes -- literally anything and everything my mind can latch onto, soak up, and scrounge through (anime, movies, series, other books, comics, and much more). I've taken copious notes to connect all the strange, unusual, and evocative thoughts, patterns, and themes, in an attempt to understand the human mind better in its various interplays of wealth, spirituality, biology, socializing, and other societal things.

And yet, my grammar and style notably worsening over the past 2 years, I have realized perhaps I have dug myself into a hole. I still don't know what I want to write. I have no idea where to even begin regarding ideas and concepts. I don't even know how to structure a basic sequence of actions in my mind anymore. It feels like I'm staring at a blank canvas, trying to compartmentalize and/or synthesize all my observations, my ideas together. I wonder if it's simply shame holding me back from embracing writing about these things in unabashed, freakish ways, ambitions of wanting to create something helpful and solid; wonder if it's that I simply lack talent entirely, that this has all been my initiation into becoming a database; wonder if I'm perhaps just too stressed out.

It sounds like you’re thinking yourself into knots. Sometimes writing is more about emotion, aesthetic experience, than anything rational. Either way, I can sympathize with the feeling. I get it myself. All these thoughts and no clear way to turn it into a story.

I attend a house of worship fairly regularly, but there is no attendance recording or membership. That said, I think it reflects the rise of atheism/passive faith in the country. I don't think America will be mostly atheist, ever, but I do think at some point religion for most people will be "I believe in God, I do good deeds, and I want to go to Heaven", etc.

It feels like that sometimes, other times it's more like a long parallel track of strings.
>All these thoughts and no clear way to turn it into a story.
I feel like there's a watchdog inside of me, checking me everytime I try to think in a way that isn't "go from point A to point B to point C" - done this way? boring. unfashionable. consider tombstone quips as work. so I begin to think in other modes of thought, like how to depict a murder mystery without necessarily incorporating time into the plot, or an assassination of one's self plotted out by their 5 year old self, having set the pieces of the plot in place at that age for their future self, with their death coming as a lurching inevitability. Then my mind wonders and wonders and wonders, coming up with various avenues on how to explore and approach this plot (it having been lined out at this point), thinking to myself "perhaps I should try to do something to portray it like a Greek play, how the gods, or perhaps inevitability/fate is a stronger concept here, have set the course of these actions to be something that even the very rocks of the earth have orchestrated". I start adding this into the outline and several other ideas, occasionally writing them, then realizing no one will read these, and burning my papers. I keep some short stories online, but they're mostly a way to keep myself going.
>What did you think of the fate series?
Terrible, waste of time. Some neat ideas here and there I could go into, like, say, Shirou from Fate/Stay Night and his absurdly self-destructive desire to save others and its cause of perceiving himself to have no reason to live beyond servitude due to survivor's guilt, and how his narration, personal imagery, and climactic scenes serve to enforce his mechanical, one-tracked mind. Or perhaps I could look into Kirei as a foil of sorts, a man lack in sensuous fulfilment, burdened by norms and creed, desiring to find a reason to be. There are many other similar interesting conflicts and concepts thrown around like a firehosed bukkake on a shitcake, but they're not given the respect they deserve outside of a few scenes. Special mention of Fate Grand Order, which I believe is the final form of entertainment for the uncritical mind of the average weeb consumer - the structure of it encourages perpetual boredom, the community encourages a tribalistic competitiveness over the success of chance, the "stories" are so dull and vapid you are hard pressed to believe this is a thing many are professed to expend time and energy on. Thing reeks of, for lack of a more appropriate and less emotive word here, demonic energies, Lotus-eating den. Perhaps it might be a quicker summary to say it's Pokemon without the pretense of easily digestible childhood innocence.

Today was day 30 of nofap. One of my coworkers approached me as I was having a cigarette on my lunch. She hugged me. Soon it became sexual. I grabbed her from behind and dry humped her for one to two minutes. I came in my pants. Spent the rest of my shift with a semen stain on my pants. The load was immense. It seemed that no one noticed fortunately. I'm pissed. This girl was basically a vampire. I'm going to avoid her as much as possible. I just deleted her number.

I fear mental illness is finally starting to take root and I'm afraid about what's going to happen. I finally got a job and got rid of my debt, but this has done nothing but make me much more anxious and depressed. I think it's because I finally left that kind of limbo I had been in for an entire decade where I just thought things would sort themselves out eventually, or that "tomorrow was the day", and now that the day's come I realize how much time I've lost, how much I've left my life go to shit, how little I have, how little I know and how much I've let pass me by. I want to scream, I want to cry and quite frankly fucking kill myself. I realize now I'm never, ever going to get over the lost decade that were my 20s, and I don't want the half assed life that awaits me, I don't want to live always thinking of what could have been.

Update: all the clothing I washed with my pants feel vaguely more smooth than normal, which leads me to believe the semen did not properly wash out and instead has now permeated all my clothing. I'm repulsed; yet, I'll still wear these clothes because I'm too lazy to rewash them.

Years of living in solitude, I've successfully made myself believe that my parents set me up for an arranged marriage and that I'll be meeting her in the near future.

All these things are a search for meaning. The books I buy, telling me ways to live and find happiness in places not as abstract as they seem. The art on my walls, trying to evoke an emotion or drive me toward a calling. The crucifix and artifacts that I pray over in the hope that I will be enveloped by some grace or unlock some truth; they may not. Looking up the girl online who at the store spoke kindlier and intimately than others.

No woman completes a man, nor man a woman; they never will be whole thinking that way. Longing is not meaning, and longing for meaning is not living.
I am living longingly, surrounded by the hope of meaning.

i miss being a teenager full of rage and confusion hopes and dreams. i've sort of found my place in the world and i'm pretty happy with it. but it all seems like the same now. a predictable cycle of work and reward to the grave. i miss those long nights of wandering for lack of what else to do. i have responsibilities now, and lack the great desire to get out and just do whatever no matter what that was.

I'm attracted to men but faggotry is disgusting. A man who isn't content with merely thinking about faggotry and actually puts it into practice is no longer a man (except in truly exceptional cases, of which only a handful exist) and therefore I can't ever be attracted to him again from the moment he lets slip his attraction to me. I guess I'll have to be content with fantasizing about shooting a nice Chadly body full of arrows, like 12 year old Mishima. It's not so bad, Catholicism is vastly oversaturated with martyrs and it would take 2 lifetimes to coom to them all.

the inescapable conclusion is that the bhagavad gita is the middle way. in the non-canonical gospel of Thomas one of Jesus' saying is develoepd. Here he says "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesars; give unto God that which is Gods and give unto me that which is mine". I understand this to mean "respect that you live in an economic/power-order; respect that you live in a social order, and respect that the true you is unbound". This is very close to the Gita, as far as I understand. If one does not rigidly view it as espousing a particular caste-order (which is not hard) then it could possibly be well applicable for modern life. I have spent a couple of years trying to integrate with abrahamic tradition, but these traditions carry a political history that is hard or impossible to apply now. And the thing is that it seems the abrahamic traditions give a holistic method to foster you and your society into a certain understanding, whereas the Gita just kind of tells you the understanding as plainly as possible. Re-birth is in this life. True life doesn't die. Action is not yours but can be annexed (causing birth). Action can not be fought, but one can refrain from claiming it by realising that the fruits of action are not ones to take. The true you is not the psychological functions that are apparent to you: they are as streams while you are as the unmoving depth of the ocean. Give unto me. Karma, causing re-birth is the result of claiming the results of actions, causing an identity other than the depth.

The only apparent question is which exoteric method best respects and reinforces this knowledge.

I've been watching footage of anti-asian hate crimes recently (almost invariably perpetrated by blacks btw) and it strikes me how often bystanders just sit there and watch or merely record it nearly every time. The least you could do is yell at the guy and tell him you have him on camera. I understand the hesitancy to rush into a melee against an unstable violent lunatic, but all it takes is one decisive blindside to disorient and knock someone over and beat them on the ground. Especially if there is a group of people willing to do it. It's crazy how dissociated from reality everyone in this society is. Both the lunatic who blames random asians for COVID, and the bystanders who watch it unfold as if it were a movie. Finally also the leftist activists who, unable to process minority on minority violence, are unable to face reality and instead blame white supremacy in a completely counterproductive and misleading spin on the facts. It fries their circuits that the skin tone of those perpetrating the violence tend to be a darker shade than those who fit their narrative.

Probably the worst one I saw was this big brute kicking an elderly woman in the chest and then kicking her several times while she was on the ground in the head. Two security guards in the nearby building just stood there and watched, not even bothering to call the police. And then one walks over and closes the door! Also many of these are happening in NYC which whose hellish residents are notoriously indifferent to the suffering of others.
I get it that a giant raging man who could easily have a weapon on them isn't the most appealing prospect to fight. But there was two of them, and they could have at least yelled to snapped pics of him to show the police. Who wants to live in a society where anyone can just be assaulted in broad daylight while nobody does anything?

the whole function of the mental and emotional world, indeed of the whole world of things is action. The only use of sight is action. The end result of despair and joy: action. The use of the feel of your foot against the ground: action. Knowing and action are intimately woven together. I don't know that there can be any knowledge but that it pertains to action. Perhaps such knowledge that leads to mental exertion, but then the use of mental exertion is changing ones mode of life according to the new insights gained. Even if the outward of ones life remains unchanged, its spirit has changed, and therefore its goal. Therefore the whole action is changed. What is there that is not caught in this web of events? What is there that I have that does not solely pertain to pulling me forward through time?

I'm pretty sure the anti-asian hate crime spree is mostly fabricated by the media. Dictated by a racial activist agenda, they go out and find events and describe them in a way that fits their narrative while ignoring the reality of the events, their meaning, and anything else that doesn't fit. Just ask yourself: why would people spazz out and attack Asians because of covid now, a whole year after the pandemic started? It makes no sense. In the case of New York City (where I live) the attacks you do see in the news mostly come down to psychotic homeless people, no more no less, who have been constantly attacking people, killing each other, and pushing people into oncoming subway trains since last summer with impunity. If anything, they are targeting Asians more because of the increased attention to hate crimes in the media.

It pisses me off. I once watched a clip of these Whites literally kissing the boots of some BLM Black people, and all I could think was, "My ancestors lost to THIS?". Personally, I've decided that the Whites of the past (prehistory to 1945) and the Whites of now (1945 to today) are different races, in mental/spiritual terms. I have hard feelings towards the old race, but a certain level of respect for all they accomplished. I feel kind of bad for the new Whites. It's like looking at a robin and realizing it descends from literal dinosaurs.

I miss going to an office, but I know I hated it when I used to go.
I miss going to restaurants, but I know I was getting fat.
I miss going to bars, but I know I would just get too drunk.
I feel like I've been blaming all my problems on the isolation of the pandemic, but I know it's just a fundamental problem with myself. I should be content. Life will soon go back to normal. But since I lost my job and had to start my own practice the bills aren't being paid. Clients aren't coming in. All my friends from school hate their jobs but at least they know they have jobs and work to do.
I should be reading or doing specifically fun things, but instead I refresh this god forsaken website because my brain won't let me have fun until I finish my work, but I don't want to do my work. Like a magnet pushing away from another magnet.
I wake up late.
I go to bed late.
I haven't been to the gym in two years.
I used to be strong, now I've become fat and rip my pants if I bend over wrong, but I don't think I can afford new pants.
I wish everything didn't make me angry.
I wish I could just take things for face value instead of over analyzing it all down to some reductive reason to hate a given thing.
Knowledge is a burden.
I will never be good at anything.
I will be forgotten in a generation.
I miss the feeling of being loved.
The tragedy of my life is even a boring disappointment.

Does anyone have some advice regarding the fourth commandment and filial responsibility if, say, one parent has entered something of an adulterous downfall, initiated a “divorce”, and after cursing out his spouse loudly turns to speak to you in a softer voice and different tone as to garner respect. I’ve been autistic and oblivious all this time, and other than praying or fasting for my father’s return to his former nobility, I’m not sure what I should do. Duplicities and hypocrisies are starting to become distasteful to me. As a useless, quiet, NEET who accomplishes nothing I’m not sure I can do anything other than pray, fast, and show obedience and respect to my parents as I do. Favoritisms, duplicities, manifold vanities—it’s not in my interest and I prefer to retreat to my cave and study and cook and whatnot. I’m just proceeding as if nothing happened, and just as Catholic “divorce” doesn’t exist, so too it’s not like my filial duty of obedience has disappeared. But by silently helping out and being oblivious and obeying as usual, how do I not get interiorly aggravated by either parent trying to gain favoritism or sorrowful that my noble father has reached his downfall.

From a secular perspective, as a NEET who hasn’t lived the tough life I’m not taken seriously if I ever decide to give counsel to any parent (ex: to let go of vanities and adulteries) so I suppose all I can do is pray, fast, and remove my own vices. Seeing your parents descend into vanities of wealth and pleasure and trivialities is becoming tiresome. So I’ll just keep quiet, pray, fast, obey, and maybe end up in the military to gain independence.

The student thought they were anti racist but it's because the serious racists here are interested in only policing our race. None of the internet antiracists care they just threw a guy who probably can't swim into a river.

I was not like this a year ago. I was not like this a year ago, at all. I was a lot happier. I didn't feel worthless or hopeless. I felt somewhat better. But now, I feel like absolute garbage. I wasn't like this. I wasn't like this a year ago, and it really hurts. It really hurts to... sorry that my hair keeps getting in the way. It really hurts that this is how I am now. I didn't intend for this. I did not, at all. But it just happened. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to anybody that expected me to be a certain way, and that I kind of ruined those expectations by acting like this. I really do apologize. It's just been tough. And it's really hard. Um... can't really think of anything else to say. I don't know. I'm just not doing well, that's all. I'm really not doing well. And I feel trapped. That's all. Bye.

Reading through the biographies of a lot of my most admired authors in history they have 2 things in common:
1) they started pretty young
2) they were mentored by other successful writers
I’m taking this pretty severely as a man well into his late 20s who has neither, wouldn’t know how to get the 2nd, and obviously, doesn’t have a time machine.

Look, neither one of those things (starting young and being mentored) is what made them successful. It was their work, dedication and some talent/vision/whatever. Sophocles had his dramatic debut in late 20s as well. You're smart enough to be able to educate yourself on what is it you want to write, eventually it might be useful to find likeminded people, some kind of group and such so they can motive you and critique you.

How the heck do you identify your favorite author?

I’ve found a handful of authors who’s books really resonate with me. The thing is they all wrote in a language I don’t understand so I’m reading someone else’s interpretations at best and even so I fail to really pick one or two of them as standouts. Meanwhile, finding authors or books that resonate with me in my native language has been an exercise in futility.

I could name some books that resonate with me, but those actually aren't even in my list of top favorites. To me my favorites are those that have the best rereadability, having enough depth to read again and again without tiring of it. There's books that resonate because of nostalgia or relatable experiences, but I wouldn't want to reread just on that alone, that could be the only thing good about the book.

I was just thinking about my day. I had a free day from college but I planned on using this day to do some work from college anyway. But I didn't. Still (or maybe because of that) my day was great.
I woke early, meditated for 20 minutes, had a really nice coffe, read a book on tibetan psicology and then went to the supermarket with my mom. It was packed and I got that Covid paranoia, but I guess nothing happened (who knows). Got on a small fight with my gf that resulted on her coming to my place and begging for my forgiviness. I forgave her and she went home.
Then, on the afternoon I just wrote some poetry, sended some to a few online literature magazines and saved a few others to send my poems later.
After that I went to the field play some football with my brother and now I'm sipping some beer and waiting to go my gf place, where I'm going to get some deepthroat and cum on her tits. Thinking about the day now,
I guess I'm lucky; I guess life is good.

I am absolutely boring. A toroughly boring person. My stench is boredom, it’s a secretion that infects everyone around me.
To be fair, I love being boring. I am quite a general about it; I own a nuclear arsenal of facts that, when deployed, can instantly nuke a conversation.
I know fun people, but fun people are so boring to me. They always seem to talk about the same things. I get it. I get why they’re fun; I’m not saying they’re not, but they just don’t work on me. I am genetically immune to fun. Maybe even allergic.
I know people see this on me. They single me out like a sick dog. I don’t resent them, sometimes I do the same to them even before they do, as a sort of preventive measure, protecting both of us from my condition. I know they don’t feel any ill will towards me. It’s something even worse, they feel pity. They don’t wish me any harm, they just absolutely loath my presence.

i think i might be getting back on track. I don't think i'll be around on 4chan for much longer (unless i minimize my internet usage generally), but that's not a bad thing. I'm so sick of the anti-semitism, the anti-intellectualism, and the fucking constant hate that this board seems to feul. I want to go back to a younger verson of myself, but i know that will never happen, so what i need to do is focus heavily on what i can do moving forward. I think i'll try to write a criticism of Nick Land's work, so I can get back on the writing grind, but from there it's uncertain. I'll probably start writing about music and fashion for fun, but i really need to buckle down on philosophy if i'm going to achieve that.

Unironically, reading Ayn Rands horrible literature has been very helpful. I used to hate it, but it's grown on me. I think philosphically she leaves a lot to be desired, but the point of individual freedom seems to be lost on so many people (me included) that it seems necessary to think deeply about my own individual freedom as a launching off point to help others think of theirs.

But all this said, i still feel like i'm just shit posting. My brain feels fried form too much internet, but I'm sure regularly meditating wouldn't be a bad thing. But i digress. I hope if any anon reads this they will be someone intrigued and rewarded or profited from this in some way. hopefully they don't think i'm too full of shit (god knows we have enough bullshit in the world today). but anyway yea

When I was growing up, I used to resent my dad for coming home from work and not talking to any of us. He was too tired to do anything except for watch tv and drink beer. Seemed like he never even cared about my siblings or I and that his entire life was work. My mom eventually divorce raped him for this reason. As a wagie now I understand most of us will end up like this. Reminds me of this quote - "by the time you realize your dad was right, you already have a son who thinks you're wrong"

You need self esteem. (I don't know where to get it or find it because I literally have never had it. I'm also full of anxiety, especially the social kind.) Anyway dabble with "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr Burns. You need to slow down and self reflect your thoughts that fly by 100mph and you don't know it. Deconstruct your invisible thoughts and do the hard work in addressing every one of them. It's tedious but it works if you treat it like a project. (Don't be like me, you can do way better.)

It felt like i read about the practical side of psychology whereas my problems are more of a deeper level like the loss of meaning in life, not knowing what kind of person i am, seeing how your life crashes down and not being able to do anything about and etc. I think that the book is better suited to people who get too big bumps on the road and not the ones who dont even have a road to walk in the first place.

I'm doing a second restart of the book and I stopped early again, I don't know why exactly, because he makes so many good points, plus maybe I'm too lazy to do the exercises (which are a huge part of improving oneself, like even "normal" people say daily to do lists are effective, and that's the easiest of the exercises; maybe a therapist you can talk to playing the role of teacher assigning homework might work better). Wow that parenthetical went too long. What I wanted to note about the book is early on he says taking action first affects your mood. So as others have said, just do something that's both physical and mental? Last thing I wanted to add because I'm kind of ocd is that yeah the issue can be deeper than thoughts (e.g. existentialist or nihilist ideas). Maybe read philosophy? I think most people get through life by getting themselves wrapped up in some shit. The easiest one is having kids. Ok I've said enough, and I'm likely a pseud but I try. Best wishes.

Why did Youtube utterly destroy its 'recommended video' function back in 2017 or 2018? It used to work very well, it would basically just make you a playlist of videos algorithmically related to your video, which for music would just create an automatic playlist and show you all sorts of new songs, it was genuinely good. Now it just plays videos you have already seen, with one or two new videos by the same artist, and then literally loops the circuit sometimes. Why would they remove something that worked perfectly and replace it with this, I just don't get it. I can't even make any sense of it from an advertising perspective, because it's not showing you more content you're likely to want to watch so that they get more ad money.

Same, but with all of social media trackers. Eg I think if it came to updating a profile pic, I'd be sure to do it only after a bout of socializing, else getting less likes than previously would only spell a tipping point, a downward trend of gradually giving in to my proclivity for reclusiveness as well as aging.

That said, the most sociable people I know are one by one disabling such things as profile pic likes or birthday wishes. I think it's silently gnawing at everyone.

Colorful clothes in pink and teal
Sun in the sky shining bold
At night neon lights up the Ferris-wheel
Such were the seasons of gold

As the sea mirrors moon from above
By the beach the campfire dances
There on the beach we first made love
City noise said we took our chances

Dead are the malls we used to enter
The Ferris-wheel removed from it's coast
Yet I am still around to remember
Golden seasons of pink and teal clothes

OOOOH you can't brushie the dog against it hairs!

Aside from the large number of dangerous and violent ones, black people are generally unreliable, dishonorable, and disloyal. That's why it's not nice to be stuck living with them. You can't rely on them in a pinch. It's like that ancient Chris Rock bit about how you can't have nice stuff in a black neighborhood. I finally understande exactly what he means. He means that pleasant chitchat and the warmth and affection built up over years with a neighbor is still no guarantee of anything if they're a low class black, they'll still rob you and smile at you the next day. They live a brutalized existence at the bottom of the system.

It's so hard not to see them as active participants in their own immiseration. White liberals who see them as purely victims have the luxury of seeing it all abstractly, not having to see them close up. When you do have to live with them you get a level of disdain that can't be quantified or rationalized away. It wears on you in a way that you can tell is leaving scars somewhere invisible, somewhere in the deep psyche.

I think the worst part of it is how they seem to revel in it. They love living life on the outer edge of nihilism, they love running the hourly risk and being an hourly threat of starting a "beef" with a stranger that escalates into life without parole. They love that the state of chaos they produce in aggregate creates infinite opportunities to slip between lines, slip through holes and gaps in social fences and find creative ways to be degenerate. All this makes life unliveable in their own neighborhoods but they love that too. They turn it into a competition to see who can make the most obnoxious noises, be the most erratic and dangerous.

They're like me when I was 13 and had a head full of notions how I would be cool when I grew up (except their notions are from rap instead of anime). They are living out 13 year old fantasies of power and being cool, with a 13 year old's sense of consequences. They're also like Orks from Warhammer 40,000. The more there are in one area, the more powerful their chaos aura is.

That's where the resentment comes from. They are fundamentally happy like this and you aren't. They live on the offensive, you live on the defensive. They are thriving and you are always losing ground. They respond to the chaos by becoming a bombastic anime character, screaming and causing a scene in the Walmart, and your bad reaction to this only proves that natural selection favors the psychotic chimpman. There are no winning moves around these people. It's a race to the bottom, and if you don't like that, you have lost the race.

Also they radiate self-satisfaction and you can tell their worldview comes from extremely simplistic media stereotypes tailored for them. You can tell they think white people are eternal victims and that they, a violent obnoxious low ambition perpetually stoned black man with a chip on his shoulder, are the real protagonist of life. White people are like the square father figure to bully and prove you are cooler than.

That is where a lot of the resentment comes from too. You can't be like "Now see here my black friend, you live a very precarious existence as a welfare leech in an inner city that should have failed when its industries died 50 years ago. The reason you are so accustomed to bullying people in the street like a child on a poorly supervised playground is that the average random white person is not willing to shoot you and deal with years of court and probably jail because you decided to 'square up' on a Thursday afternoon." You have to just avert your eyes and play the role, in the movie that's running in their mind, of the lame white guy who "won't do shit."

Knowing that you're forever stuck in this role, in a dumb violent asshole's state-supported, media-pandered inner city thug roleplay video game is annoying.

This is real.
Corporation paid today. There is 30 USD less than I expected but I guess that is my fault. I went to the ATM at the gas station and withdrew the money which I will give to mom and dad. The line was long. There was a petite, brunette woman with Asian features wearing pink pajamas reading on her cell phone as she waited and I imagined her sweaty, smelly little body impacting moist flesh against mine as I squeezed her neck. The erection came with the same intensity it left when it was my turn on the machine.

I always liked the gas station, on the side of the road. Its smooth, homologous pavement stretching out beneath the cars crowding like spaceships waiting to refill the tanks to keep traveling across the highway.

It's my first paycheck in a year. The country has been hit by pandemic and social crisis and my salary is humble and I feel some pride in that. I'm good at what I do I tell myself as I order a hot dog, a precooked hamburger and a mockachino so tiny it wouldn't wake a field rat. Someone else stops and orders two coffees and I can see that the picture of my country is on the carton of the cup.

A message from my technical leader indicates the surprise delay of a list of tasks of which no one was aware. The person responsible is someone who is still in the company because when I ask whose fault it is, I am told that it is not important and that we are a team that protects itself as a single indivisible unit. VG is bad in his motivational speeches, he is as subtle as a gunshot in the middle of the night. What irritates me is the inability to take control. I want to grab him from behind and with my fingers pull his mouth.

The tasks don't seem difficult. We're basically talking about performing aggressive QA.

I think about our enemies.

I think I may be losing a friend in real time. I'm currently stuck on read. We've been close on and off, sometimes pretty close and other times not so much. He's one of very few friends I have. I could talk about it to him, maybe, but the thing is that in truth I feel like a lot of time that we spend together isn't actually worth that much, but then some of the time we spend together is worth very much to me. And I don't want to have to face him and ask what's up and lay all cards on the table because I would have to be honest about the times I don't enjoy hanging with him. It can be pretty stiff. But it really can also not be, and the thing is that I don't have anyone I don't feel like that with, there's noone with whom I am not stiff like that. I think he has more and more begun to sense when I'm not enjoying his company, but I just don't know what to do about that, when that's true it's true. I can't tell him that. I did tell him sincerely that I appreciate him being in my life but he's... distant. I really feel like I should ask him what's going on but I do not want to have to tell him how I feel.

I'd like to honestly talk with him like "whats going on? things used to be different before" but then i remember that we basically were each other friends because we didnt have any other friends and once he got different ones in college then it all came tumbling down. We never talked about deeper stuff but basically killed time together. Sure, he's a bit whipped but his wife doesnt like me that much but that shouldnt change much. There's no point in saying anything as it wouldnt change a thing.

this could be what is happening. he also just met a new woman, that could be it. we have talked about real things though, I don't remember if he's seen me cry but he has certainly seen me very vulnerable, and vice-versa.
>There's no point in saying anything as it wouldnt change a thing.

I am lonely.
I am horney.
I'm not wanking.
I am working.
I am for once happy.
First sunny day in a while.
Clock out from work, get an ice cream, meet a friend.
A bit messy, pricey, not really tasty, but I have my friend.
We sit down, have a chat.
A black homeless guy sits next to us - dirty, smelly, swollen hands and tongue, almost toothless. Talks to us for a bit, surprisingly coherent.
We move on, we start talking girls and female companionship.
All around us girls walk with barely anything on them in the middle of the city, tits bouncing around and almost popping out.

that's a part of growing up though. I'm sorry you feel bad about it, that sucks. I'm not really in touch with anyone I knew before I was 21 I think. I suppose you grow up into someone and don't recognize the old any more. I've even avoided seeing people I knew as a kid because I feel I would have to revert to the guy they knew. A big part of why I don't want that is precisely that we never actually communicated, in some ways we never really knew eachother. But there is some kind of sweet-spot in youth where that all doesn't matter so much.

Why do you care what Putin or any tinpot dictators does to political opposition? I don't defend Russia, I just think it's been turned into a boogeyman thanks for Baudrillardian fear porn from the media.

The US acts like Russia and Iran are our greatest threats (when they pose no genuine threat outside their regions) but walk a fine political line when it comes to China. Biden called Putin a killer but would never say that about Xi and we all know why. Stop feeding into this mentality.

oh that wasn't my intention, I didn't really have an intention I just thought it was funny. I feel like we're in a shift regarding China. Some countries talk about uighurs and shit, they didn't used to. I feel like there have been more real negative press on them, but I could be wrong

Four day weekend for a Easter. I'm so tired I just want to spend the whole time in bed. But I know if I do that I'll feel like shit the whole time. I guess I should get into nature, but all those spots will be busy for the weekend. What should I do with my break anons?

I am going to die alone in my shell and when I think about it rationally it's the only thing that feels worthwhile. No matter how hard I try to become normal and meet normal people I eventually suffer too much and I have to go back.
The only thing worse than having zero opportunity to change your life is to have an exit, and try to open that door, but it only barely open and one can only take a look. I can't get through. There's nothing worse than seeing that door half open that I can't get out of.

I’m really wondering if doing some writing for this game company would be good. They’re headquartered in a country I’ve been wanting to live in. The work is all remote so it’s not like they’re offering visas and it’s like a side job at best so I wouldn’t be able to quit my day job and it would definitely cut into the writing I actually want to do. Still, it might be good for me and I’m desperate to escape my day job. I don’t know what to do.

I am a teacher, my students are empty, my students can fill up on thoughts and think critically moments at a time, and the next day they restart from zero. They have unique ideas and share in that moment that they are pulling out something they thought of by themselves. The next day, it's all gone. They are without hope and I want more for them. I want them to see past where they feel society has placed them. Their parents do not want that. Their parents want them to not be able to critically think and challenge what they are being told to conform to. I am a teacher and my students are empty.

i'm in one of those communities where since the demographic for it - slash where the game was made - is in japan, the japanese side of the fandom is waay better than in the west. i was writing for this fandom for a while until i got sick and tired of the hissy fits and shit people threw around at each other for any and all reason. i did it for myself but i guarantee i fell out of love with writing faster because of this hell hole community. so now i did a complete 180 and i'm drawing now. and fucking off social media for longer periods of time. things seem to be getting better.

I mean its not the first I've tried. I should know how it is by now. Yet, this whole process feels incredibly dehumanizing. I am just a piece of meat, an object. I need to sell myself, to people who don't really want to buy me. If I listen to myself, no one really wants to buy me, but this is just the usual drivel that bounces around in my tiny head. If I'm a product, then I'm not a great one.
I do have qualities though. I came from a good school. I got my diplomas, albeit from the skin of my teeth, but we'll hide that from them. I did some very brilliant studies and papers in a field I knew nothing about, on some subject only a few dozen people on earth care about. But I can't talk about that, can I ? I need to say general things about me, about how I'm a perfectionist, a virgo, or how I like team sports, The Office or whatever non sense is in vogue at the moment.
This whole ordeal has made me feel like shit. It shouldn't, I know. But who am I, if not for others ? Identity and worth does not exist in a vacuum. With no one to compare to, no one to tell me who I am, I am everything and nothing at the same time. The constant negging, the constant ghosting tells me something, but I don't like it. I try to avert my attention on the ever more evident conclusion.
If I'm an product, I'm not a really great one. Because each time I manage to get a meeting, a date, a call; and it's not often mind you; no one calls back. I'm trying not to be pushy, I know they don't like that. It's like playing a game no one told me the rules. But I need what to be bought. I need to be had. It is the one thing I have been building my whole life towards, yet no one wants me.
Maybe I don't need them. Maybe a life well lived is a life alone, away from those who I desperately need, but I cannot have.

I'm a teacher too and this is something that dawned on me recently too. The biggest problem for the majority of them is that they don't retain information. Which means that they're unable to figure things out for themselves later on down the track. It is the marker of intelligence to be able to apply past knowledge to new situations in order to gain new outcomes. It's only something a small percentage of the population can actually do. The rest have to get by on rote learning.
