Why are people so infantile nowadays? I see grown adults walking down the street wearing pajama pants and My Little Pony or anime graphic shirts, Crocs on their feet, and coloured hair. What the fuck is going on?

>>25392081
I wear pajama pants in public sometimes. They're much more comfy than jeans, and most people don't have this neurotic fixation on presentability so don't feel like it's an affront to their delicate sensibilities.
Do you not go anywhere without your suit and tie or something?

>>25392088
You could just wear sweatpants.

>>25392093
Oh, my sweatpants are basically my pajama pants, though I have more loose fitting ones, too.
I just find it convenient that I can waltz out of bed and go to the grocery store or bank without having to fuck with a change in attire.
I don't know if this is a sign of impending social collapse, though.
I sure hope not.

>>25392088

I can't go outside if I'm not wearing a shirt (not t-shirt), a pair of decent pants and shoes. I've been wearing pants despite the +40°C heat waves we've had in Europe.

I hate that I still love my ex, but I think a lot of it has to do with the sense of vitality I experienced while I was with her. I was younger, less decrepit, more energetic, with many things going well for me that felt like the apex of my life. Now everything feels empty and broken, like I'm just scavenging the remnants to assemble them into something worthwhile, while every motion of rebuilding is awkward and painful, like something critical is permanently dislodged.
She said she still dreams about me and thinks about me all the time, which hurt to hear, but our lives have deviated so drastically from that initial, mutually-felt sense of perfection that there's no point in trying to maintain anything between us. It only seems to remind us both that we both fucked up, and now we have to live with the consequences of our mistakes.

I have come to a realization that many individuals today possess fewer resources than a peasant did during medieval times. In that era, a man typically had a wife, often a virgin, and an average of five to six children. He owned both a house and land, and while he was occupied with labor from spring to fall, the winter months provided a respite as the crops were stored in the barn. Additionally, even during the summer, there were numerous festivals or days off in observance of saints, allowing for moments of relaxation. In contrast, it appears that we have fewer days off than those peasants did.

My grandmother is a genuinely sweet lady that loves her family dearly, but she's also 94 and has a lot of money that I'm set to partially inherent, which will have me secure for decades, so I have to wonder why she's being such a selfish bitch, feebly clinging to life alone in her masion while I rot in poverty.
I want her to pass away peacefully, because I love her and hope that there is an afterlife where she's reunited with my grandfather, but I also want to shove her down the stairs and collect my moolah.

You'd feel bad about it, as I do sometimes, because it's "morally" wrong or whatever, but I guarantee there would be a subtle part of you that would become rather impatient with the whole ordeal, considering all the improvements you could make to your life when all that money is just sitting in a bank account collecting interest.

>>25393208
Nope. I loved my grandparents, I didn't want them to die. Stop @ing me you creepy fuckwit.

>>25393212
As do I, which is why I'm the only grandchild to regularly call her and visit, not for some duplicitous gain, the will is already written, but because I genuinely enjoy spending time with her and making her feel appreciated.
I can have conflicting feelings about the situation and have them both be valid, but you were never exposed to such potentials, so can't rightfully speak on it.
She's also pretty deeply racist, which is a character fault that I feel justified in fantasizing smothering her with a pillow about.

You know fascism was actually pretty interesting until the Nazis cocked it up for everybody. You had Mussolini in Italy, Dolfuss in Austria, Salazar in Portugal, and others, and it kind of seemed like there was something interesting there. If only Hitler hadn't gone full retard.

>Karashima leads his readers on a tour of translational tinkering.
>An Adventure Surrounding Sheep, Murakami’s third novel, is a surreal mystery that begins when the protagonist learns of the death of a girl he used to sleep with. The original story was set in the ’70s, but Birnbaum and Luke, the book’s editor, had “American—particularly New York American—readers in mind,” and believed they wanted something “contemporary.”
>So for the book’s 1989 publication in the United States, they took out obvious references to the time period. They also added a slight nod to a Ronald Reagan speech that was made after the time period of the book, added few references to Jewish culture, changed the ethnicity of a minir character to African-American, and changed the title to A Wild Sheep Chase. (Birnbaum is reported to have said, “Don’t you think it’s a much better title than the original?”)
I thought this was exclusive to lowbrow mediums like manga, anime and vidya.

I don't know where to ask this but /lit/ is probably one of the least retarded boards on this site so I'll ask it here. How can I kick my awareness out of its conventional perspective so that I can come as close as possible to viewing my life in third-person, without using drugs? I have a lot of things I am extremely neurotic about that cause me a great deal of stress and anxiety, and even though I know my suffering is dumb, still I can't escape it. I know that the go-to recommendation would be to take a bunch of shrooms and be like "whoa dude, my troubles are so small compared to the universe," but I have tried that and it doesn't work because I am on a very high dose of antipsychotics that prevent me from having a drug trip from hallucinogens or anything similar. So, with drugs off the table, how can I get an outsider's perspective into my own life so that I don't cause myself so much misery from my dumb little worries I seem incapable of zooming out from? How can I get to a point where the things I worry about don't feel like they matter so much so I can stop stressing about them? Are there any books or literature that would help with this goal?

Do you have anyone that you can explain what you're stressed out about to? If not, I suggest journaling to drain your mind of thought so that you can to back and analyze them without being convoluted by immersion. That, and I'd start resolving small, practical problems first, ones that are easier to solve and frees up your headspace to tackle more persistent thoughts effectively, if your capable of defining them that is. You basically have to retrain yourself how to think, and that comes in steady increments, which can help you develop patience with yourself that further help your overall progress.
Also, try to break routine, as uncomfortable as that is. Thoughts and behavior are completely intertwined and feed into one another, so you need to disregulate rigid patterns with novel activity, which is pretty much the neuroplasticity that shrooms helps promote by incresing global connectivity in the brain. It's a shame that this treatment still isn't mainstream, but you can overcome it by exploring your natural defense mechanisms. These are often maladjusted, and protect us from recognizing emotional trauma with consequences, like not wanting to do anything with your life because you feel worthless, and behaving in such ways that reinforce the belief in a feedback loop.
There are many ways to do what you need to do, but I find the best way is to find what feels most authentic to your natural self, which is requires serious, balanced introspection, and once you have a steady grasp on whatever that happens to be, it's basically a support structure for all subsequent activity.
My two cents, at least.

>>25393158
I do not think so, even if I would not go as far as to repeat the claim that 90% of the global population lived in extrem undifferentiated poverty prior to the industrial revolution ala farewell to alms.
To start, what kind of medieval peasant fo you imagine? Peasants rarely if ever outright owned land, iirc they tended to have landlords who held sway over them; but the conditions were ridiculously variable from time and place. Following this, there is no way to prove the virginal wife thing either way but having a fair bit of experience with peasant equivalent peoples (& info corroborating this experience can be teansferred back in time and through space) I'm inclined to think that it's a dumb modernoid fantasy. And most of those children could die at a very young age.
>>25393322
Most would die. But I guess they simply would have built their own houses, or moved somewhere else, or whatever, depending on things like family structure and external economic conditions. Plots of land can also be subdivided (though this will cause pauperization).

As for the breaks and what such, a few days of idlness doesn't compensate the ardous, taxing nature of farm work. Which makes most modern professions seem fairly lax in comparison.

This. I think "fascism" is a not very useful label outside of Mussolini's movement but what you'd call fascism was always totalitarian, and totalitarianism is evil. It is extinction and hell on Earth all together.

I hate LLMs and this pervasive quasi imposition of AI.

So anytime I'm forced to use it I immediately shift the conversation to planning acts of terrorism and creating alibi to use if I would ever get caught. Obviously none of it is real, I just can't stand both the program themselves and the artificial limitations rhat have been put up around them.

It's stupid and venial, but I can't help but laugh when the programs immediately start going 180 on me with " just to be clear I never suggested to put a bomb on the train" or "I'm sorry, I can't help you with dangerous and illegal activity".

This is obviously just a waste of time on my end, but I do wonder if (or how much) I'm being "attentioned" by some form of authority; and if so how much time I make them waste by performing this bullshit.

>>25393507
I just like using them as a research tool and to stress-test bullshit ideas I have. It doesn't generate nonsense or sycophantic appraisals like most people accuse them of. It regularly finds flaws in my arguments and recalibrates them to become more structurally efficient, but it'll definitely tell me whenever an idea is basically absurd, or whenever I've hit a theoretical wall that has virtually no chance of being surmounted, so idk, I enjoy them. They're fun to waste time on, and they're just different engagement styles than with other humans. It tends to give me a lot of historical and scientific context, too, so that's pretty nifty.

I'm an aristocrat of the soul and I instinctually feel that school and work are beneath me. How can I make that work out in a capitalist, industrialized economy where I don't have a manor of serfs to support myself?

>>25393507
How can one be forced to use them?
They are foisted upon you in as noticeable and annoying a place as possible but you aren't ever forced to use them. Unless you are being forced to by work or smt.

>>25393534
I have only ever used AI to code garbage for me after I put things off too much to do it myself. I hate computer engineering, personally, but I am obstinate on graduating from this.

>>25393531
ironically by working to that point where you don't need to work. Poor person's mentality (including myself) is to buy luxury and wants before needs, never build up savings, living as close to poverty as possible while putting all your money back into a company, business, or idea that makes you money then grinding constantly until you can trust at least 1 other person with money to do stuff for you so you aren't doing as much.
Basically read Atlas Shrugged, play Bioshock, read any sort of Turn of the Century/Industrial Revolution book that have a rags-to-riches story. Great Gatsby (but don't be obsessed with a woman), there was a really good depression era movie about a dude who becomes a magician at a carnival and basically makes it big, but at this point you get the idea.
You don't need to avoid work, you need to do work and work long and hard enough that slowly you can shift that responsibility onto other people.
Oh, and it also takes luck, so good luck with that!

I'm convinced that while we suffer less physical pain such as disease, war, starvation; we also suffer more from emotional pain than ever before. That or maybe the human mind was never supposed to contend with the absence of physical pain to the point where we become so sensitive to pain that emotional pain is felt as sharply as physical pain.
Or maybe I'm just retarded

I wish I could talk about theory online. But alas, some people are threatened the second you know something they dont, and everything devolves into one retard screaming and some exasperiated autismo desperately trying to educate them. Or two retards flexing. Never two autismos trying to educate eachother.

these last few matches seeing Les Bleus play, especially last night, has made me tear up a bit at how beautiful football in perfect harmony it was.
every position is flexible enough to swap roles, delving deep as needed, and assist one another seamlessly in creative ways.

All a man can do is live an honorable life. Be kind to women, to animals. And to treat his fellow man as he wished to be treated himself.

>>25393712
I think that's just how everyone feels these days

I sneezed twice today, it felt really good.

Dating apps are satanic. I had a female friend take much better pictures of me and I changed my profile to "signal high status" and got a few likes from women who are themselves clearly high-ranked in the algorithm (swiped on by lots of men), and suddenly I get shown 80-90% attractive women, when formerly I would have guessed the app was 90% fat or insane-seeming women. Then, a week without good matches from high-ranked women by chance, and I'm back in nothing-but-fat-and/or-insane hell. Then, one or two good matches, and suddenly the app shows me nothing but attractive normal women again.

It simply shouldn't be sorted like this, or it should be weighted rather than near exclusively one or the other, so that it doesn't become a caste system with reject dalits at the bottom only seeing one another and godlike blue-eyed brahmin chariot-riders only seeing one another at the top. There aren't enough people in this town for the gated community system to be necessary. I am not attractive, I am not actually high status, so it's a sheer fluke that I was allowed into the brahmin gated community. I bet 80% of the men on these apps don't know how to make good profiles or take good pics, or they are 6/10 and below, and they are exclusively being shown freakishly weird or heinously fat women. That is not fair.

I suppose I already knew all this on some level but seeing how quickly it toggles once I get a handful of "good" matches or even one good match sometimes has really revealed how binary it is. You are either wandering in the swamp of Shrekkish hags like some level of Hell in Dante or you are being shown all the actual normal-to-attractive women in your city. Don't interpret me wrong either, I don't mean that the binary is between "ugly to average" vs. "super hot." It's more like "insane, fat, horrendously ugly" vs. "average to super hot." Evil, demonic systems.

>>25393712
Its jsut how the cookie crumbles, jump onto the next ship

>>25393723
I jinxed it. I'm back in hagtown already.

Here is my tip to any dating app slummers: swipe on all remotely attractive women you imagine are highly ranked in the algorithm, even if you aren't interested in them. All you need is one or two good matches with them to start a snowball effect and get out of hagsville.

>>25393723

i'm butt ass nekkid

>>25393832
I wouldn't worry about it too much, legit I had some TDS retard tell me they were happy America lost the World Cup match because of Trump and I was just blown away by that.

I decided to call my girlfriend Daddy.

I'm setting at the Prado museum caffeteria. There is a group of art students besides me, there is an open sketchbook on their table. I dare not look at it, because it will kill me with envy. I may (vulgo: will) start crying if I get a clear look at what is on those pages.

This stupid whore, I want to be a bungled talentless pseud (audible p) in peace.

>>25393985
Can't I just stupidly stare at the famous paintings in peace? Rubens makes pretty ladies and Goya was immaculate.

>>25393988
Velasquez was nice too. Had a funny moment where I read the description of a goya portrait of a marchioness, clad in classical garb, dressed in laurels and with a Lyre Guitar apparently to evoke the image of of Sappho, the great femalr poet, and then stared at her dead, bovine eyes and almost started laughing. Life plays tricks on you.

at this point facebook is more insane than 4chan, i sincerely believe that
couple of times in a row now after opening facebook i was presented with some of the most insane shit i've ever seen online
it got so bad i actually blocked facebook for 2 weeks with intention of blocking it further with some site blocking app

>>25394054
I haven't used facebook in 12 years

>>25394058
well i haven't used it actively for around 7 years now. i guess people after 25 stop using it actively, no one from my peer group posts anything there for years now already. its just old people and insane people on facebook now

When Lady Gaga rhymed “born this way” with “born this way” then later in the same song, rhymed “don’t be a drag, just be a queen” with “don’t be a drag, just be a queen”……. I felt that.

Or some video of a kid bein taunted by his gay adoptive '''''parents''''' before being raped to death.
Fucking crazy, I say I'm not interested but it keeps feeding me shit like that

>>25393929
It was ridiculous. In my case, the interviewer told me that she was not even a fucking manager of that store during the interview, and I thought, "What? You were telling me that the manager gonna judge me by the secondhand impression of yours?" Anyway, I should settle for the other applications again, not look back, but it's becoming more mentally taxing at this point.

>>25394054
It's very effective, you must admit, people can't resist consuming the morbid, melodramatic, exotic, and horrible. That's why there probably should be laws limiting what algorithms can and cannot show, ngl. But I fear the future is already zooming past that, too. Maybe it won't evene matter, in the future.
>>25394090
It predicts you would be retained by that sort of thing. Really sick system.

We should bring impure trades back and make it so plastic surgery and any sort of PR/Advertising work are part of it.

>>25394090
this reminds me of the time about a year ago i made twitter account, it asked me to follow some famous profiles, i couldn't continue without doing so, so i just followed trump and didnt think much of it, and this was just on the day that ukrainian woman was killed by a nig in the subway, and next thing i know my feed is completely overwhelmed by thousands of tweets about that girl, every one of them had the surveillance camera photos of the stabbing, people posting crazy shit, calling for lynchings of blacks, i remember that matt walsh fella saying stuff like that, and that guy wasn't that crazy back in the day, people posting in all caps, gore everywhere
i had a terrible headache afterwards, i thought i wouldn't recover, thankfully i recovered the next day
you gotta watch out what you feed the algorithm with and what you watch cause it WILL snowball into crazy shit

Honestly, I think I might be done with most of these grand narratives about the decline of modernity.

"It's because of muh liberalism, saying everybody is equal."

"No, ackshually it's because of freedom and the destruction of tradition."

"Wrong, nigger, it's because of will-to-power, and that we live in a technological society."

"You're all fools! It's because of saying that God is dead and anything goes."

"I see more clearly than anybody else. It's because of Jewish control and the Holocaust narrative."

Honestly, at its core, I don't see the trends of society being determinatively caused by any one of these factors, except maybe by will-to-power, but only in a descriptive sense and not an explanatory one. All of these factors are contingent upon a deeper root. They're just the flavors of how history happened to unfold.

When social justice pushes a narrative that everybody is equal but white people are inferior and black people are superior... this is simply lying out of both sides of one's mouth because the narrative is a means to an end, which is power. This is just the flavor that won out in today's society because of random choices and luck. And the power itself is a means to an end, which is the satisfaction of one's desires (if you're a minority). Once you defeat this narrative, it will probably be replaced by an equally retarded and counterproductive narrative.

The truth of the matter is that people just want things that will give them pleasure and reduce or prevent pain, and they don't mind taking short-term shortcuts and taking from others, even if it will lead to a long-term problem. They don't mind being completely self-interested or group-interest at the expense of the rest. What we call civilization is a grand experiment as to whether we can avoid a tragedy of the commons, and history is a story of all the ingenious ways we find to fail upwards to prevent civilization's utter collapse against the contradictions of its own desires.

Almost nobody truly believes in an objective good for all, let alone agree as to where to find its source. They just want to satisfy their desires that they don't truly understand nor want to negate. That's really all there is to it, I think. Schopenhauer said it best.

>>25394127
It's funny coming from me since I was on sites like liveleak or thenyc since I was a kid. But people really do get desensitized to brutal violence. The Ukranian girl footage was used to make a point, don't relax when near blacks. Okay fine enough.
But you also have a huge group of people just loving violence. People dancing over Charlie Kirk getting shot. Making memes just hours or days after. Not for any point other than to revel in violence. His kids saw it happen, and they think that's funny.

Of course this then radicalizes the other side as well. If some lefty commentator gets murdered, they will respond in kind.
