Saving up 100k to pay for a surrogate as a single male seems more practically achievable than finding, dating, marrying, and then conceiving with a woman. Even then, the child isn't really yours and can be taken by courts for any pretext. truly rotten and contemptible culture

Some men are just bound to die alone. I'm not saying to give up on creating a family, but to try making a family and not become bitter and misanthropic when it most likely fails; for your sake I hope you win the lottery with this one.

I wanna spend Christmas in Japan with this chick I know but that would require me to save up around 10k in 4 months. Damn, this doesn't seem possible.

A trip to Japan doesn't cost 10k. What the fuck.
>>
>>23715189
No, but I'd also need to get a passport and I want a good amount of spending money for while I'm there. Even if I needed less (say 5k) I don't know how I'd get that in 4 months.
>Why don't you get a job?
Great point, however, I'd wanna spend at least a month there (there are a lot of places that I wanna visit while I'm there) and no job would let their new employee who's been working there for 4 months just leave for a whole month. I need to find a way to get the money without having to commit to a job, that's where the issue lies.

What the fuck lifestyle are you expecting to be using the equivalent of 120k a year. The most expensive thing will be a flight and even that isn't that bad. a strong USD makes everything cheaper in japan- Are you expecting to eat out, hit the club, etc every day for a month?

>I don't know how I would get 5k in 4 months
That's like 14 dollars an hour pre-tax. Go work at a warehouse or some shit for 15-17 an hour and stash it. I'm assuming you're some kind of student who doesn't have any real bills yet (Rent, etc) since you implied you don't have a job.

After my parents divorced my mom became fond of talking about just how much her kids mean to her. She’s say it over and over again and insist upon it. Eventually, it became obvious to me that it was a sort of a cope, a lie basically, a “me thinks thou doth protest too much” type deal. The reason she insisted it is because she knew deep down it wasn’t true. But the terrible truth was too difficult to face. Either she had nothing, or herself first and foremost. Now that I’m an adult I can say with certainty it’s the latter and all I want is to resolve to not put the same burden of knowing such a thing in my own kids. I genuinely don’t know what it’s like to have good and loving parents who care about you at least as much as they care about themselves, but I want my own kids to know that.

Social scientists are the worst, but they’re all terrible. They’re just the biggest faggots IRL. I’ve met dozens of them through work, maybe hundreds. I can seriously count on one hand the number that weren’t insufferable midwits or pricks. Staff and admin hate them as well. They have this weird group think culture as well that is strangely reminiscent of the R*ddit upvote-downvote sustem and never has there been a less self aware group of people. They all pay lip service to academic freedom and yet dogma is so affirmed in academia it’s insane. If you challenge it in any way especially if you challenge it in such a way that you more not affirming their status as the top caste in academia (as if anyone cares) their wires cross and they get hostile. Just dog shit human beings really. I think something happens where they get their bubble burst between undergraduate and becoming a professor and it makes them all bitter and resentful or group-minded prestige whores.

My neighbor had a fatal car accident tonight. His poor mother kept wailing and screaming for hours, she couldn't believe it. He was walking towards his house, then spotted a friend who lived a few miles away and offered him a ride home. They both didn't make it. All of us were around the same age. Death was calling them to that exact spot.
I vividly remember going to his house when we were kids, playing a shitty shovelware ps1 game called world's most dangerous police chases or something like that, and sharing some delicious pastries.
May God have mercy on their souls.

There is so much human history, so much human experience, that we will never know. For instance, even the just a compendium of all the fetishes possessed by human beings in our 240,000+ prehistory would run millions of pages longer than all of our present anthropological literature.

People say that the West is still too comfortable to have a civil war, but to me this misses the fact that in actual history the United States, in particular, has been perfectly willing to have a devastating war when it was materially doing quite well.

I speak of course here of the US Civil War. It has no obvious economic impetus. The Southerners were doing pretty well economically, the Northerners were doing better. Yet America tore itself apart and spilled the blood of hundreds of thousands over a purely moral and philosophical disagreement.

The lesson one might take from this is that Americans are funny and don't obey the normal rules of revolution and civil war. They WILL take a good thing and trash it in the name of a moral and cultural dispute. Materially the United States is doing very well right now, but I still would not be surprised to see us in another civil war within a decade, simply for cultural and moral reasons.

It would never be a battlefield war. Most people won’t fight. It would look more like terroristic attacks, such as The Troubles. The USA is just too big, diverse, and comfortable to fight any large scale war. The left and the right will just trade shots and propagandize on the internet
>>
>>23715791
Or we just balkanize Soviet-style. If, say, California or Texas or Florida seceded, and took a lot of their neighboring states with them, how much strength is really there in Washington to fight to get them back in the Union?

And once there's one secession there would be others. Maybe America's fate isn't some grand and terrible Gotterdammerung, but for us to just pathetically pull apart out of exhaustion.
>>
>>23715796
The civil war was a regional conflict. The culture war has each side living together. People aren’t going to move to go to war. If things get bad enough in a certain area the national guard will be brought in. This is all a pipe dream you’re having
>>
>>23715774
I don't think the modern masses of the West to have meaningful ideas let alone fight over them in a civil war.
Their ideas are dumb and stupid both among lefts and rightwingers. One could almost say insane.

For some reason people think a civil war is every able bodied person showing up to fight and all normal life stops but that’s not what civil war is. Civil war is two political factions and their volunteers going out while the regular civilians scurry like ants and try to go about their normal lives.

The civil war wasn’t merely a moral disagreement. It was cultural and it was especially legal. It was literally a battle for the future of America.

I think I'll kill myself this weekend. Why keep trying? So I can repeat the cycle again? Meet someone and lose them, because I wasn't good enough, or because I didn't have what they wanted, all over again? I can't keep going like this. I'm so tired. If I had known that things would never work out with anyone I ever knew I would rather have just never met them at all.
I have asked God to let my life end soon many times but his answer is obscure. Good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people, but miracles don't happen to anyone but the pure of heart. I guess I'm just too dirty for any of my prayers, for an end or otherwise, to avail anything.

do you think the U.S. military is just gonna airstrike its own cities? ravage their own industry? if even Texas alone secedes, the process of retaking it would involve an excruciating invasion of a place whose population A. outnumbers your troops 100 to 1
and B. is sitting on enough guns to arm every one of their men women and children twice over. there's also the problem of having to effectively cripple their industry with as little unnecessary damage as possible so as to prevent generating unrest and sympathy from any other undecided states.
vietnam was a tiny, third-world shithole of a nation, and yet U.S. troops simply couldn't take control of it. with all their technology, they were still bested by a bunch of untrained peasants with guns. geurilla warfare with U.S. citizens be incredibly unpleasant to deal with.

I use Twitter as a newsfeed (I have no idea what is a good substitute) and the amount of retarded shit I've seen makes me hate humanity even more. I can't tell if 90% of the website is legit retarded, or if the users are just engagement farming.

I see negresses and nigs cry about the "YT" folks. I've seen homos presume everyone is a faggot and pretend they're so "edgy" by reclaiming the word faggot when I know the average poster here would make them cry irl within 5 minutes. I see women talk about how much they hate men despite these whores doing fuck all but post pics of themselves for men to gawk at.

And then there's the shitty fucking gay arguments like: "OMG is this 19 year old dating a 29 year old man. She was liek totally groomed!" No you cunt, she's an adult and she made a decision. Twitter users don't want a young woman taking dick, but if she wanted an abortion suddenly the choice is hers.

Bitches watched the Johnny Depp trial and call him guilty (probably because Heard has BDP so Women and Fags can relate) and never shut the fuck up about it

Worst of all is Elon Musk's bogged ass talking about free speech while publicly sucking jew cock and limiting visibility on 1,000 words. And if I tell people they're being faggots, suddenly I can't post anymore.

I got laid of work in april. Spent the whole summer a free man collecting worker benefits. Now a week ago a past collegue who's now a local boss asks if I'm interested and here I am going to work tomorrow. I'm nervous I liked being free and not having to do anything. Sure there was existential dread every now and then but thinking 'bout how this gay earth will implode within my lifetime made it less awful. What the fuck, now I gotta pay attention, smile and shake hands? I hate doing that shit but I think I am too good at it for my own sake, I constantly wonder if my coworkers know I am putting up a complete facade, I even wonder if I truly AM putting on a facade since it's possible I'm just a normie. I can't wait to join the army.

It's too sensitive.
If you interact with an account you dislike you're going to see a lot of those accounts in your feed immediately.
It makes me not want to even comment on tweets by people I don't like. Because I know I'll have to hit 'not interested in this post' for the next 15 minutes just to get it back to normal again.

I might just make it my life's goal to goof off at work as best as I can.

Then do that. I don't interact with people I despise there, nor with people that say things I despise. That's the magic of Twitter. Even here I have to endure the outrageous dishonesty of progressives, not on Twitter.
Why interact with them? Do you think you are going to own them? No, they will just be mind–blowingly dishonest about what you said and it won't make a dent.
>>
>>23717499
It's not even to own anyone. But I do like engage with people who think different.
The problem isn't that I occasionally have some nonsense in the 'for you' page, it's that after making one comment, EVERYTHING is from that sphere. One time was extreme where they pretend 'blackface' is a thing in the netherlands. I made a comment arguing otherwise. For about 3 days 30% of all posts I saw as from leftist whining and crying that it's a racist thing and boo hoo.

I’ve done shrooms and acid a few times before years ago when I was in my late teens. I was in a terrible point in my life that I’m still not entirely out of, and those trips were frightening to say the least. Anything psychoactive makes me fearful and paranoid.
>>
>>23717647
First few times I did it (7/8 years ago) was great. I think it really did open up my mind to new perspectives.
However the last 3/4 I did them (6/7 years ago) it was like you said, bad trips.
Still I would recommend it to people who feel depressed. Just make sure you do it in a comfortable environment.
>>
>>23717647
> unironically doing acid and shrooms
Pathetic
>>
>>23717664
The thought of being able to grow from the trip (good or bad) sounds enticing, but resorting to drugs to make myself feel better sounds like a lame excuse to be reckless if I'm being honest.
>>
>>23717678
It is not at all reckless to take a reasonable dose in a safe location, don't be a fucking pussy
>>
>>23717560
What's your quality of life like? Do you have hobbies, a job, and meaningful relationships? How do you spend your time? Are there specific factors you can think of that brought on this anhedonic state? Have you ever talked to a psychiatrist or tried antidepressants?
>>
>>23717678
Some people need to be a little reckless to grow. For me it was needed.
Mushrooms are 100% not addictive either, the moment I noticed they were not fun anymore I quit.

Honestly you probably never need more than one trip, everything you want to know can be learned in one trip.
Depending on how you want to grow I think it can be helpful. For me it was more letting go of anxieties. It was as if I put on a new lens to look at problems, I could truly look at situations from a new perspectives and it stayed with me since then.
>>
>>23717687
I thought the standard advice with psychedelics was to take them only if you're in a stable state of mind. I can see how a depressed person might benefit from a trip with the right guidance, but at the same time, I can also see how that can be a recipe for disaster.
>>23717710
>Depending on how you want to grow I think it can be helpful. For me it was more letting go of anxieties. It was as if I put on a new lens to look at problems, I could truly look at situations from a new perspectives and it stayed with me since then.

>it finally hits me that I'm out of time and should move out of my parents' ASAP just as my mom is admitted to the hospital
Leaving right now will most likely burn all bridges with my close/extended family but fuck it, I brought it upon myself for waiting this long.
No, I can't just wait it out, I would get stuck into a life I'm not fit for, and I would rather kill myself than let that happen, so short of a miracle, I'm gonna upset my family one way or another.
>>
>>23717727
>Fair enough, but don't you think that you could've achieved that on your own?
Impossible to tell.
All I know is that after that trip I realized a lot of things holding me back were nonsense. And now I have a life I honestly dreamed of back then, but didn't think I'd actually get.
Unless you have some family history of schizophrenia or you take it with people who dislike or don't care about you, I don't see how it could really go wrong.
Just as long as you remember that whatever there is to learn on shrooms, you learn the first, maybe second time. There is no reason to become a 'shroomguy'. Not that I think it is likely or does a lot of damage, just a waste of time.
>>
>>23717740
Maybe? I wouldn't be surprised if I wrote something like that in these threads. I started self-harming months ago. I haven't done it since, thankfully, but I'm having a terrible day today and considered doing it again. However, I do remember feeling immense regret and guilt afterwards hence I'm weighing the pros/cons of doing that versus a bunch of drugs.
>>
>>23717727
>if you're in a stable state of mind.
Nta but most people can generally feel okay for the length of a four hour picnic in a nice park. They might stop themselves from taking a picnic or never think of it, but if for some reason they were stuck with a blanket and food and just had to wait four hours in nice weather, they would not have a freak out where they needed urgent assistance.
That's about as stable a state of mind and setting as you need, but people who would freak out given four hours touching grass are not stable enough.
However, promoting them as some kind of be all or end all thing, whether from a positive or negative view point, skews results a lot. People who think it cured their mental illness and therefore everyone should do it are about as common as people who think it caused their mental illness and therefore should be banned. Most people without expectations are just like
>I really liked this rubber ball for a while, it felt like it made sense and was good
>I was really comfortable and I think nature must be comfortable most of the time too, we really vibes
>There's a really nice pattern of bricks over there, it looks like a waterfall sometimes
They gave a bunch of seminary students psychedelics once and all that happened was they all had a nice comfy of sense spiritual alignment. How your expectations are loaded affects it almost as much as what type of person you are and your surroundings.

I think bodycam/cop youtube channels are having an appreciable effect on public discourse, everywhere I go someone is talking about them lately due to the algorithm. People are seeing subhuman fucking scum like this every day now, getting 8 years for killing a woman and barely even caring, or getting all charges dropped or dismissed after they ruined the lives of a dozen people for a joyride.

If there's an economic downturn, and the eternal 1990s delusion finally wears off and some actual hardship starts to affect people that they can't hide from on their smartphones, and politicians start having to actually address the problems by running on law and order platforms, I pray we see an incredibly authoritarian regime that ruthlessly exterminates all druggies and dealers and punishes petty crime with death for a good 20 years. Purge this accumulated sewage from the human genome. Hang every single junkie and vagrant.

Imagine some new administration that says "You have 3 months to stop using drugs. If you are found high or in possession of drugs you will die." And actually making good on its promise.

5k USD is what, twice the average monthly salary in Japan? Even if you spend like an idiot that will be enough.

Last time I was there I'm pretty sure I spend ~ 1-1.2k USD for 10 days, but I crashed at my friend's place. If I had to stay at a hotel that wouldn't have been more than 300-400 either way. So 10 days is definitely not less than 2k. 5K should be enough for 4 weeks if you don't spend like an idiot and go for cheaper places to sleep at.

It's fascinating how the people around you kinda sorta dictate the personality and sort of "being" one is allowed to be

Till around December 2022, I was surrounded by nice, receptive people who would listen to what I had to say and, in turn, I would listen to their thoughts and opinions. It was just a great positive atmosphere. However, since then, I've had to be around people who were negative and disagreeable and would shut me and others down whenever we spoke. It has created a palpably negative environment where no one is looking to open their mouth.

Praying I get a better job soon and can move to a better place with better, nicer people soon.

Was amazed to learn that not only had the Irish Republicans downed army helicopters with machine guns, it was captured it in full color video for propaganda purposes. Was like a vision come to life, I had seen it in my head and dreamed of it in the night, they shot the helicopters in the city and way out in the bright green hills like the ones I rest in.

Meetings in hidden groves and fields in the rolling forests, men crouching in the sunny grass and calmly explaining how to load machine guns. Ordinary men with homemade grenade launchers, with rockets and mortars, working around the clock. If such hidden clearings were in the hills of Kentucky I could not tell, and in such scale as the fabled isle is to our own North America.

But in the open fields you can see clearly it is the old country. Like something out of a fairy tale, so bright and quaint. But instead of men with scythes harvesting barley, or magical fae dancing around to a tin whistle, it is guerrillas with machine guns shooting down army helicopters. It isn't Joyce's country, nor Yeats's. Nor is it fantastical, mythical.

It is mundane, realistic, practical:

Shooting down helicopters with machine guns.

I have this vision floating around my head. A man in his early thirties, respected by his peers but always reaching for new heights, his remaining family is proud of him, he sits next to his wife who loves him deeply. Their first child is playing. They want more. He is financially secure and has plenty of free time to enjoy the things that enrich his spirit. He turns to her and smiles that kind of vulnerable smile reserved for the most intimate moments.

'What?' she giggles.

He turns his head to the sunset. 'There was a time when I thought there would never be anything good in my life.' He begins to cry. 'And now I have everything I've ever wanted.' His chin quivers. She holds him close. 'I'm happy.' he says, smiling. 'I hadn't been happy for so long'.

Just because you dated some chick who left you after you expressed your emotions doesn’t mean that all women are like that.

How is that supposed to make the suffering that is happening right now less disturbing?

You should get into romanticism and save crying for street corners. When did you last write a poem?

That was my life for 3 years when I first started adjuncting. I would show up to lectures so hung over. My only saving grace was that I did administrative work most mornings so it was just me and a couple of other staff.

I’ve seen it countless times. It’s just the reality, I’m sorry to say.

I’m wondering if it would be worth it to stay with my parents for another year for another $50k. After one year I’ve got $50k but I’ve also got severe depression so it kind of cancels out.

Enlighten me, anon.

Did you ever get out of that slouch? I already know that I will get even more depressed once classes start again.

Reading, thinking, and walking are like eating a healthy meal with grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a nice cool glass of water. Going from that to 4chan is like chugging a grimace shake and red bull at the same time

Journalism is actually a career hack. I wish I knew that when I was younger. I should’ve just become a journalist.

Writing coaches are charging 150 bucks an hour on fiverr what the FUCK my art tutor charges 45 bucks an hour and his skill is actually viable! No fuck you writing industry you exist to fleece naive idiots out of their money, maybe I should transition to a drawfag exclusively because every painter and illustrator I have met are fucking awesome and reasonable

I mean, Shirley, there must be things you could do to mitigate your depression. You don't really think the entirety of your depression is caused by living with your parents? Saving 100k would be enough to put a down payment on a house and still have savjngs left over my man

But sometimes the grimace shake and red bull end up being better for you in some schizophrenic twist in fate

I need to get back into reading but at least I just got a new weight vest to improve my walking.

Fairly sure I’m having an actual nervous breakdown again because I’m mentally retarded.

Should I pen my existential crisis/nihilistic diatribe and submit it to a publisher? I have nothing to lose.
>>
>>23722682
I mean, yeah writing would be helpful. You should also seek professional help and confide in friends and family you can trust.

I’m done with therapy, I’ve tried it multiple times. Same old shit and I can’t afford a “good” shrink. I’m med free though because fuck that. I learned some CBT tricks that help me manage. Sadly, I have very few confidants. The ones that offer an ear really only do it out of obligation because it’s the done thing. They’re good people but we operate on such massively different wavelengths neither of us could offer each other much other than ears and the standard platitudes. I don’t say that with malice, it’s just how it is.

I feel like I could frame a lot of these thoughts into a short story, but haven’t decided on whether I would want to go first person anonymous (Notes from the Underground style) or turn it into a more stylised character study. Maybe a hypothetical “conversation” between a grievously wounded hunter that didn’t cleanly kill his prey and comforts it as it dies with the story of his life, perhaps.

My ex is the only person I speak to on a semi-regular basis, via text at that, and I feel extremely lonely

Man if you're having a nervous breakdown "again," maybe meds aren't that bad of an option

Therapy for me today was amazing. I am very grateful to have found a truly caring therapist who actually listens and has real insight to share with me about my problems.
>>
Huh, this is rhe first time in a long time that I've seen wwoym last more than a day

Oh. Of course.

Therapy works better when you're 100% honest with the therapist and internalize/memorize what they say.
It's like a psychic osmosis. The sentences that you say or questions they ask can become like mantras until you start treating yourself better. Instead hypothetical conversations with prey have an actual conversation with healers.
>>
>>23722766
Genuinely happy for you, Anon. It must feel great to make that connection and really work through your issues. I’m yet to find one I can really mesh with. Plus a lot of the free services here in Bongistan will drop you if you can’t attend which is fucking dumb when you’re dealing with people who are gonna struggle to get out of bed and whatnot. But hey, I’m surviving.

>>23722747
I hear you. But after trying every med under the sun over a few years and having it totally fucking zombify me I think I’d rather live with the suffering of existence and try to distract myself from it. I’m able to manage it well enough. Just having a blip because I’m off work with an injury and can’t get out or exercise so yeah, cabin fever is creeping in.

>>23722817
I’ve certainly tried but I’m gated behind paywalls for decent long term solutions. You normally only get a few sessions here before you’re sent on your way unless you shell out, which is just not doable for me. I’ve been a bit harsh on my therapists, they’ve given me pointers towards the tools that have saved me more than a few times, but it’s very hands off and I miss that conversational aspect.

I literally cried today. She said something that clicked into place like a puzzle piece and felt like a great weight had been lifted off my soul. I feel like a little kid again right now.

Some people want it all. But I don't want nothing at all.

>>23722836
I haven't seen a therapist for about 4 years now, had about 30 sessions 10 of them emdr.
I can get like 60% of what I got from a therapist using AI now.
If you got how a therapist talks to you remembered you can sort of music the therapy style with ai, plus it's always available unlike the therapist.
I'll probably see a therapist next year since after the nhs service i'd have to go private now.
Good luck with whatever your going through. AI is definitely helpful if you can get into it, it wasn't around as much when I had therapy.

Not the entirety, but it’s my biggest problem. I just turned 30 and my parents are fucked up in short so it’s the single biggest issue I have. I want to buy a house.

How about a marriage that is governed by a legally strong premarital contract? No romance: pure contractually mandated procreative sex performed within the confines of her menstrual cycle. Prenups work if there isn't too much money. Stories to the contrary are rare or false.

3 months in Seattle and 3 months in San Fran as well as years working in a liberal arts college made me realize that leftism needs to be destroyed and snuffed out and then relentlessly ripped out like weeds forever. This is an ideology of DELUSIONAL freaks and leads to civilizational suicide. It is a bigger threat than climate change or nuclear war or genetic engineering or any of these things these things.

Ugh just got a notification on my phone that there's only one nurse at the methadone clinic today, so it's gonna be a long ass wait when I get there. It already took two and a half hours yesterday and there were two nurses! Might be three hours today, Christ.
