How did dostoevsky become a mind virus?
>>24681512I had a wife and kids at 28. Fucking hon hon
>>24681519Why are you here then? Surely you need to clear out the slops from your landwhale wife.
>>24681580She took most of the kids to a theme park so im maxing and relaxing before work. Also her tits put Sydney Sweeneys to shame. No joke. Similar size and shape but her nipples are pinker which is objectively better
>>24681512>uses teabags which are full of micro-plasticspleb spotted. commoners should just be sterilized.
>>24681512is this what they call a performative male?
>>24681594it's what I call an oxygen wasting normgroid but sure, you could say that too.
>>24681584A landwhale with microtits. Vestigial flaps of skin from a bygone era. I see, I see…
>>24681512Damn Paris is actually pretty nice, I’ve always heard it’s NYC-tier dirty
>>24681624It is. There are rats and piss on the street. But like any big city it has some nice areas. Nothing is uniform.
My daily routine is doing this for 16 hours then going back to bed
>>24681512>>24681594>>24681597He's got a good and comfy life.
>>24681619Beat it, frog. Stop being so narcissistic and get a family
>>24681519Reddit invasion
>>24681594it's the typical npc life so yeah, performative
>>24681512How is this even related to Dostoyevsky?
>>24681519when did /lit/ become a normie shithole?
>>24681512
>>24681740Damn, and I thought zoomers were supposed to have a short attention span
>>246817432023 and mostly as a result of posters migrating from boards that have become shitholes themselves.
>>24681584>Sydney Sweeney is his nice tits pull Fuck off zoomer LARPer
>>24681631are you me ?
>>24681512This npc has the fucking woodworth translation, because of course he does.
>>24681512the human body is repulsive. the hair, the fluids, the flesh. every part of it, every component, every layer, is utterly disgusting. our bodily existence is hell. just watching this fleshy abomination consume eggs and other food is horrifying. you think of the wet, slimy slab of meat that is the tongue, the lukewarm, smelly breath leaving the mouth, the uncanny porcelain teeth cutting into the gums, smashing and grinding the food to nauseating, vomitous liquids. you think of the lumpy arms covered in odd hairs, the wormlike protrusions wriggling as hands. the "exercise" to try make this revolting mass somehow appealing to others is completely futile when you think of the reality of what it is. the smelly sweat coating the body, horrid liquid leaking from the pores, the bones creaking and grinding, the muscles spasming. even the body of the most beautiful woman is nothing but a horrid conglomeration of what can only be reduced to the raw, biological truth: lumps, hairs, skins, waste, effluvia, meat, etc. the body is a nightmarish object of contemplation.
>>24681512I was reading Dostoyevsky at 15. This guy has just started reading him at 28. That's why I'm a neet and he's not but probably soon
>>24681519Congratulations for doing what the lowest of animals do without even trying.
>>24681512Recording and posting yourself online like this is such a pathetically girlish thing to do.
>>24681868Based. Please make a thread, anon.
Houllebecqian nightmare.
>>24681631You are NOT being a productive member of society!
>>24681624It's way prettier than NYC . The subway in NY was worse than some subways I've seen in third world countries. No kidding the subway in Cairo and Tehran was infinitely cleaner than new York
>>24682347French males are pretty effeminate in general
>>24681512These kind of videos depicting highly optimized routines evoque a terrible fear of time flying past. His life (my life) is one of meaningless task spent in cold isolation, no friends seen, no wife to welcome you home, no children. Nothing out of the ordinary done, just the socially accepted, no trangression, no piousness, just lukewarm existence, the absolute mean of a life. At a first glance you couldn't tell if he's in the office, his house or his "favorite" restaurant, all of them are presented in close shots-countershots of a POV and his emotionless gaze, morning tea, his protein meal, his beloved lamen, all of them eliciting no response besides logical aknowlegment. Through his day he sits in similar mass produced furniture with the same rigid body position devoid of rest or comfort. You could see by the elipsis of a single cut our sole protagonist, now 40, doing the same, and it wouldn't surprise you.I, of course, understand that this man has friends and girlfriends and family and an inner world and that his life is not this chronographed limbo existence here presented, but it strikes me as worrying that this content is engaging or interesting as it seems to suggest this kind of life is expected or desirable in some way. He is not poor, he eats out, he lives in a central neighbourhood next to the publicitary landmarks of a leading global city, these are desirable signs, but the meat of his existence is fight club parody of a dehumanized office worker. Tic tac.
>>24682480>meat of his existence is fight club parody of a dehumanized office workerIs there even a way out in the current day?
>>24682480That's life anywhere in the world unless you live in a village in Africa or something. Agrarian lifestyles are way more meaningful. You have dozens of kids who themselves have dozens of kids and you're always surrounded by people dumping their personal problems on you and your life way more eventful. You don't even have to supervise your kids or educate them they run around everywhere and since everyone is tightly knit you know they're unlikely to run into someone willing to harm them
>>24682487Agrarian societies are more adapted to people's social needs. Developed countries are so alienating since it it's inherently low trust
>>24682014>just startedHow do you know he hasn't read some of his other books before? What if this is just a new copy of a book he's read a long time ago?>>24682480>no piousness>bro he should totally record himself kneeling like a cuck to imaginary sky-man every day as part of his routine, that'll make the video less depressing
>>24682512>bro he should totally record himself kneeling like a cuck to imaginary sky-man every day as part of his routine, that'll make the video less depressingYou are a nigger, an ape with a knee jerk response already programmed into your soft flesh, ready to release your infection once triggered, a recording machine, a dumb, dumb nigger. I have not asked him to pray to God, I don't care if he does, I am just pointing out his life is fully mediocre, no good, no evil. I don't care if he kicks small, cute, crying, defenseless kittens until they lie bloodied and bashed or if he goes to church and feeds the homeless and auto-flagellates, any of those inclinations would show character beyond mechanistic effiency.
>>24681838It's a French edition you blind bat
>>24682479True.
>>24682480>no wife to welcome you home, no children. Nothing out of the ordinary done, just the socially accepted, no trangressionYeah, having a wife and kids is truly one of the craziest and most unique things one could do. See >>24682345>>24682490I'm in no way against agrarian lifestyles or for urbanized hell, but this is just romanticized bullshit. The majority of rapes and sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows (partners, relatives, friends or community members), not by unknown outsiders, and child abuse is almost always perpetrated by family members, caretakers or trusted adults within social circles.
>>24681594>>24681597>>24681638>>24682014You guys are retards. This video is a dating profile, nothing else.
>swimming pool Couldn't be me
>>24681584Sounds like the kind of girl that flirts with me at work while her man is watching
>>24682490You would have more kids and half of them would die before adulthood.
>>24681512Tolstoy is far superior
>>24682607A cry for help lol
>>24681512what kindof easy fucking job does this douchebag have? i'm jealous.
>>24682586And that's why we should all be heckin childfree atomized cuckbugs, got it
>>24682014>I was reading Dostoyevsky at 15i mean he is assigned in elementary schools for a reason, you won't get any mileage out of his dogshit beyond that age bracket
>>24682548Actually you literally did. And he literally highlighted the part where you said he should do that. And his response made me laugh out loud. And your chimp out makes his response hit even 10x harder and funnier. So yeah you just got pwned on so many levels you racist, retard fuck.
>>24681512Do people actually live like this? I live in a major European city and basically never leave my room except for morning walks. Everything is expensive and depressing, this looks miserable. Then again, I'm a lifelong NEET without too many acquaintances and I'm guessing this guy was going out with friends or something, right?
>>24681743NTA but I got married at 23 years old. But I was a 280lb neckbeard incel who had literally zero friends online or IRL from the start of middle school through all of high school.So I started browsing /sig/ lost 100lbs and became a gymcel, and spent years teaching myself to walk normally, hold conversation somewhat, etc. Think that one /fit/ screencap with the guy who had a script for ordering pizza, that’s how bad it used to be. One thing I did to improve was that for hours a day when daydreaming I would daydream model conversations in my head where I tried to map out typical responses and reactions, especially around challenging topics where I know I am likely to insult someone. I hoped I wasn’t autistic but just “undersocialized” as I called it, but eventually I hit a point where improvement largely stopped.In terms of women my wife is the first woman who I ever held hands with and is also a massive sperg. I got lucky.I kind of just segregate my public from my private life to a huge degree and act like a totally different person to my small circle of friends vs to everyone else who knows me. I put in the work, but existence outside of my bedroom is still a massively stressful daily battle.
>>24681512He cute.
>>24682548tldr but skyfaggot is not real, grow up
>>24682761Good job misrepresenting my entire worldview from very little information because you can't think outside of negative stereotypes from retarded memes, you low-consciousness faggot.
>>24681512Horrendous video, looks like absolute hell. Imagine having a job.
>>24683279>i was an incel with 0 friends>but I also got a wife and a small circle of close knit friendsyou're like middle class retards pretending to be working class for clout
>>24683724middle class people still have to work for a living so they are working class.
>>24682479Based. Literature is effeminate.
>>24681512This retard treats reading as the last task of his day, possibly just to sleep better with no true interest, so it's unsurprising that he reads Dostoyevsky. Probably learned about him through Tiktok. He now reads an author he doesn't understand and records himself reading the books to feel productive.
>>24682607Are women attracted to a boring tik tok video about the banalities of your life? Seems counter-productive
if you where involved in creating this topic.it's time to plan scenarios.
>>24683916>do women like active men?the answer is yes
>>24681512look how he sniffs the book.maybe the paper is infected.book fetishists btfo.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibz-gPkTMDM
>>24681512If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.
>>24681584oh so she is fat for real? thanks for telling i guess
He is pathetic. If you are not having kids whats the point on going on? Just to openly going full lustful and wasting your time on coomsumtions. But my life is like that except for the gym and good hobbiesBook for this feel?
>>24681868Holy incarnation of Jonathan Swift
I have more respect for piss drinking homosexuals than retards like this God this makes me suicidal than any suffering out there. But then I think about what keeps me going is this art projects and nothing comes out of them. Life is an unsolvable problem with all of these fucking people. It's over. Tartar Steppe is a brutal book.
>>24682512I don't know but this short glimpse into his life gives the impression that he's a lonely man who started noticing the futility of life. That's when you start reading Dostoyevsky.>>24682796Fortunately I didn't grow up in Russia. I just walked into the bookstore and picked a random book about life in prison because I thought it was cool (House of the Dead). I had no idea who Dostoyevsky was since /lit/ didn't exist yet and there was no tiktok
>>24681624I've lived for 21 years in Paris and no, it's not pretty nice. NYC is better on average
>>24682487Monkhood. If I don't have a wife by 33 that's the plan
>>24681638Filming it to post on social media... vanity, insecurity, narcissism, It's completely damning.
>>24681512Is this really what a 28 year old is "supposed to" look like? I can't distinguish him from 45. I'm a bit older than him and look 10 years younger than him.
>>24681512>14km (4'35)This video is either a parody or a fabrication.
>>24681588this
>>24681638you'd have to be an utter retard to believe this kind of vain edits. No one is having this kind of lifestyle.
>>24684255>If you are not having kids whats the point on going on?What is with you normie faggots and procreating? As if it's this grandest thing that you possibly cannot miss out on, and all other endeavors are somehow less worthy. Are you all just retarded animals?

>>24681519had?
>>24681868cope and seethe the human body is God's marvelous creation
>>24684858Is persevering one's race not a noble endeavor? I dont want jeets to rule the world
>>24681512>3 Hours of "Work"So where can I get this kind of "Job"
/lit/ astroturfed Brothers Karamazov and Infinite Jest
>>24682014Can we all grow up and agree that some works don't even make any goddamn sense until you have lived experiences and some years behind you? What the fuck is an 8th grader going to actually appreciate about Brothers Karamazov, like how would he ACTUALLY grasp the genius prose or captured moment of a man telling off his woman when IRL he still has crushes and hasnt held a hand yet? Some books can't be properly understood or fully appreciated you just arent the audience yet, it's not even an insult perhaps I'm just aggresively suggesting to revisit works that you read as a teen because the same words mean totally different things with personal lived canon.
>>24681512We should have meme'd Dickens instead of Dosto.
Mind virus, or head louse? Or penile parasite?
>>24682586>The majority of rapes and sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows (partners, relatives, friends or community members), not by unknown outsiders, and child abuse is almost always perpetrated by family members, caretakers or trusted adults within social circles.It's precisely because these are less dangerous and less alarm bell ringing than unknown outsiders that these end up being statistically high.

>>24681868There is no judgement of the body beyond itself, your post is pseudoobjective, in reality there is no beauty or uglyness, only situational power
>>24686344Yes, french pipo are very hairy and need to constantly trim it
>>24684858My life has been great, I hope to bring life into the world and create a happy life for them as well. You have to be one miserable cunt to think life isn't worth while.

Going back home to play video games alone in your room after work loses its appeal eventually, and if you're single you're going get on the self-improvement cart eventually and this is about what it'd look like when you try to fit those things into a workday.

>>24681512i live in paris. unemployed. 30. never worked a day in my life. currently living at one of my girls place.its hillarious to me that these ascetic weirdos live such a barren life while i have full control over my day and enjoy prime time with their would-be girlfriends.
>>24688432no offence but you sound like (and are) a hedonistic bum.
>>24688440This doesn't sound like an insult.
>>24681868based
>>24688440I'm mostly done with it. Hedonism was how I lived for a little more than a decade starting at fifteen.I never fully succumbed to indulgence anyways, I'm quite driven and focused. Now my days are spent at the library studying, the other half practicing music. I'm over being a dilettante. But in truth, by avoiding work and living a rich yet marginal life I saved myself. One must cultivate a dilettante attitude together with discipline, only then can one avoid the trap of sterile specialization and alienation.picrel is one of the gorgeous library I go to. Paris has many of them. They're either quite cheap or free.
>>24681519>t. big boy
>>24688475How's the sex these days since zoomers are repressed
>>24681512I'm 28 too and am skinnyfat NEET, and I do nothing all day but post on imageboards
>>24681512His works appeal to those who desire to wallow in their own degradation, because what he writes about is wallowing in degradation.
His works appeal to those who do not want to wallow in suffering, because he shows them a way out. Those who try to stifle him are trying to suffocate you and,
>>24688723.. ultimately, trying to kill you
>>24681512I actually really felt that with this clip of him putting his head against Dostoevsky's book. As if praying for salvation to escape from the clip. If he wasn't reading the P&V translation maybe there would even be some hope for him.
it's the gap between his nondescript routine and the unabashed narcissism that gets me
