I don’t understand people who make bait threads. No matter how angry and responsive you make others, you are ultimately the one wasting the most time by keeping the thread active and watching it so it doesn’t get archived.
>>24694400Another thread's discussing RF Kuang. I legitimately have no idea why she's so lauded. Her writing's atrocious. All the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Yellowface seethes with resentment toward her critics, which, fine, nothing wrong with that in theory, but for some reason, Kuang thinks she's writing a fiery satire of the publishing industry. "It's so hard for Asian women writers" Kuang my darling my baby with the rock hard nips your book was a Witherspoon Book Club pick, you regularly sit for interviews on national television, and Yellowface was a bestseller, girl you're winning! Stop whining about how hard you have it!
>>24694400I hate work in all its forms. I hated college, I hated internships. I hate all of it. I will never ever enjoy it. I still liked studying engineering but I hate working in it. I guess I'm not a factory worker anymore tho.
>>24694319this made me feel something approaching empathy for woman with horrible looking vaginas. us men with horrible cocks should band together with women with horrible vaginas and start some kind of NGO or union.

Just out of curiosity, as someone who has never used AI before, how would I get ChatGPT or whatever to help me with this task: let's say I have a list of 30 or so links to various articles, and I want a list of the links in hyperlink form with the title as the text in copy+pastable form to post on a blog or reddit or similar.
>>24694471you tell it exactly that and link the links
Anyone else absolutely hate talking? As in the actual process of verbalizing thoughs into words and making the necessary lip and tongue movements for enunciation.I simply deplore talking, the worst is having to answer questions, even simple ones that can just be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'. It irritates me that I simply cannot shove my thoughts into people's head as a form of communication. It's vexing and exhausting and has left me stunted my entire life as I can obviously not attract anyone, be it friend or mate, because of this debilitating affliction.
>>24694473No special format or such required, huh? It can perfectly parse my (poorly written) command as is like that? Neat, thanks.
>>24694475You can, yes, you can even talk in ebonics if you want, it'll even talk back in ebonics.
>>24694474Do you enjoy communication at all?
>>24694485I enjoy reading and shitposting on this god forsaken site, which are both, in my opinion, a form of communication. So I guess in some forms.
>>24694400Goddamn I hate you Phyllis. Smug bitch doing no work and fucking shit up.
>>24694453Yes all you. Freaks bunch up together. Then I bring my Cement roller and roll over you all and Save the world.
Currently I'm trying to re-read Atlas Shrugged (tried it once 15 years ago, did not finish), and what's striking me is how autistic the "good" characters are. Dagny Taggart seems quite autistic right of the bat, but she's nothing compared to Hank Rearden, who can't ever stop thinking about his precious alloy and gets mocked by his normie family; an episode so vividly portrayed from his perspective that I couldn't wonder if it wasn't something that actually derived from Rand's personal experience. Was she an autist herself (I'm inclined to say yes from just how clinically dead serious and unambiguously black & white the entire book is, but who knows?) and the entire thing is basically The Autism Ressentiment, with latter word used in Nietzschean sense, when weakness and insecurity becomes a basis of a morality system?
>>24694400what to do when you're tired of everythingin your life and around you? suicide not an option
>>24694474What do you mean exactly? You are using words right now to communicate thoughts; do you despise that as well?I think I hold a similar view as you do. I hate the idea of stating something, as it feels as if words are insufficient for what I am trying to express, and that all statements I make are slightly false or lies. It is not that communication is exhausting; rather, it is that perfect communication is impossible and thus frustrating. Imageboards are nicer to use, as a single post will not taint me; it will merely taint the post.
>>24694522Do nice thing and have fun time

>>24694522have a collection of 6 things you actually enjoy doing, on days everything sounds terrible one of them will sound tolerable enough to distract you.
>>24694474>Anyone else absolutely hate talking?I don't know, I can actually talk quite a lot with most people, but afterwards I feel exhausted from talk, even "dirty", so I need to emotionally recharge in complete solitude.
I just don't understand women. She made the first move and added me on multiple social medias, I text her, now she refuses to respond
>>24694474I love talking. I'll talk all day just to hear myself talk and my job heavily leverages this. I'm not like... forthcoming. I'll mostly sit and do my own thing quietly, but if you engage with me I'm charming enough and can hold a conversation with basically anyone. My recommendation? Practice. Get a shit job that forces you to so it. You'll improve with time; it's what I did with public speaking.
>>24694559she's gonna die if you know what I mean
25% of all posts on this board are mine. I argue, bump, agree, and sage my own threads for the purpose of art, for true art is only done beyond the sight of men.
>>24694526That is obviously a very big part of it. Especially when you have to give an answer about something that simply cannot be condensed into a sentense or two. And only after can you properly put the rush of words that came to you at that time into something presentable. Another big factor is the simple fact that in order for a story or subject to be interesting you need both a good anecdote/idea but also the proper discourse skills to be able to construct sentences that illuminate and engage the listener. Most people fail at both. Which in turn makes me avoid converse all together. But as I grow older the desire for connection only increases while I still cannot overcome this total dislike for talking. It is not something one can fake, at least not for long.

Always wanted to watch the movie Michael Clayton (2007) because I'm a fan of films like this (ex. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; The Firm; Spy Game; The Social Network; Charlie Wilson's War), so when I saw it referenced in a show I watched the other night, I immediately obtained the means to finally watch it. If anyone wants to join me, or has similar recs, feel free :)
>>24694589SLUR
>>24694592>Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy2011 version with Gary Oldman or 1979 BBC TV series with Alec Guinness and Ian Richardson? Personally I prefer the latter, and its sequel Smiley's People is even better.
>>24694602Love the movie and as for the TV series, I've only seen Smiley's People (figured I could skip right to it), which I did indeed really enjoy.
>>24694592You'd get a lot out of those 70s political thrillers then. Marathon Man, Parallax View, Most of Costa-Gavras' films..etc.
>>24694605I'll give those a peep, thanks. Oh, and on that note, All the President's Men, I gotta watch that.
>>24694610Check out John Frankenheimer's stuff as well. The Manchurian Candidate is top tier. The remake too, by Demme, is underrated.
>>24694592It's a great film, bit left field, but you might like Thank You For Smoking, either the book or the movie
>>24694615>The remake too, by Demme, is underrated.I have seen that, actually. Good shout though, thanks. >>24694623>Thank You For SmokingAh, nice, forgot about that one, thank you. Will obtain.
Between the years 2010 - 2024 I spent $750 000 on cocaine.
>>24694634I spent 25USD on doordash last week and feel bad about it still.
>>24694634That is...a lot. Are you rich or did you acquire that much money through other means?
>>24694634Was it worth it?

>>24694645I got lucky with a real estate investment when I was young. The land got bought out by a development company for 10x what I got it for. That feeling kickstarted the whole thing. I wasn't able to replicate the trick.
>>24694650Of course not. Every night turns to ash in your mouth. The endless circulations and comedowns become maddening. The neurotoxicity becomes more and more obvious. Ultimately what made me stop was the ever-declining quality. Suppose I'm grateful for the greedy ass dealers cutting their powder with various brands of washing powder, baby powder, rat-x etc.
>>24694655>>24694659Ayyyy I hang out with real estate finance boys and do the devil's dander fortnightly; supremely good quality as well. That glittery shit.

Someday a political retard from Twitter is gonna rage bait someone so bad that will send us to the point of no return. I'm pretty sure a civil war will start like that
>>24694729Zoomer historians no longer speak of "a provocation of war"; rather, entire subsections of WWIIIs wikipedia page index will be titled as "rage bait".

>>24694729No bloc in America is strong enough to cohesively form into a "side" for civil war. If such conditions ever come to America, the masses will fall in line with the federal government because the feds will offer protection and stability. Nobody in the USA is dying for a cause or principle. Only thing that will mobilize that many people is outright foreign invasion or natural disasters on the level of a Carrington event. The whole civil war larp from both cuckservatives and leftist troons fails the moment one realizes the overwhelming majority of Americans are milquetoast center-right liberals that just want to grill for god's sake. More importantly than that, this overwhelming majority views radicals with a mixture of confusion and revulsion, even Edward Snowden was successfully smeared by the establishment for at least a year, and he was perhaps the most palatable form of dissident the average american could get behind.

Are modern books worth the investment for fictional basis? My book reading journey is either A) stuff I hear that's classics B) topics I'm interested in C) stuff I found in my library D) stuff people tell me to read. I never actually get myself up to date.I'm not asking for masterpieces, but a fun read by the porch. I tried a couple and I had to drop them though, I hate /lit/fantasy and writers who don't have anything to say.Second point: a lot of people love to make wokeness into a binary. I know I hate woke stuff. If I play with woke shit (Weird West) I get upset and turn it off. If I read a book with woke shit I forget it's entire existence except the cover and why I hate it. I was reading Equal Rites and despite the whole premise being at least in a fashion proto/kinda woke (it's "what if girls, can be wizards too!") it handles it well so far.>MC: Esk, she's talented but she's way too angry/emotional. She turned her brother into a pig and people get pissed at her, she disobeyed orders and got chewed out by it, cries when she lost an argument. She's a talented/powerful kid but she's still a kid.>Her father/mother figure, Granny. Is a bit mean, was pushing against the Esk being a wizard at first, has trouble navigating around the city and has to act as a bully in order to get what she wants (headology is her field). She's not perfect, in fact the book so far is about Esk going to university to be a wizard because Granny couldn't teach her. But she tries and that's the important part.If you're going to make your game woke, make it like this. I do find the men to be a bit too jumpy in front of Granny, but then again she's a witch who creates a reputation for herself. Besides that people act like people: Zoons stick with zoons, there is no woke diversity squad, Esk has to earn her way through the school, etc etc. If Esk was a boy and instead of her being a girl the central issue was class/race, it would still be a similar story and it would still hit the same beats.You don't have to make it so every human in the gender spectrum is a piece of shit for me to like them. I like the bartender because he saw a business opportunity, and was afraid it would go bad, and it goes bad. Simple, human emotions gentleman: that's what a story needs!
/Lit's been good today. Or maybe it's just me.
>>24694975Hi evil
I kind of feel like it's somehow wrong how happy the trolls films make me feel while I watch them. They are just so colorful and hyperactive and musical. Its like chugging a bottle of mountain due that has been spiked with pixie sticks. So unbelievably sweet that it almost hurts, yet for a while I feel amazing, then hit a inevitable comedown where I question what is wrong with me. I am a grown man in my 30s. Some silly jukebox musical for babies shouldn't have this much of a effect on me.

I've enjoyed PewDiePie's book challenge thus far but I couldn't do Kant in one month, so I'm giving it another try. Taking notes for certain words and ideas, watching lectures, and, yes unfortunately asking AI sometimes. I'll most likely have to come back to Kant in a couple of years because this one is really dense.
>>24695583He's reading Kant right now?
>>24695566suicide inducing post
>>24695586He's reading Schopenhauer now, Kant was in June. I couldn't do Critique of pure reason in one month.
9 months ago I sent a long letter to a person I hold very dear.Yesterday she finally responded and my heart can't bear to read it
>>24695600Has Schopenhauer good him he needs to read more Kant first yet? You might be in with a chance of catching up if you only have to read CPuR

>>24695692I think bees are probably more important Did you know carpenter bees have red butts?
where is my irl Nami?
>>24695700No. I don't think of the various bees outside. I think of cornflake and cigarette brands.
>>24695700AHH, I meant carder bee. Carpenter bees are a different thing

Can I get some painting recs to use as a wallpaper background on my phone? I've had this De Kooning for a while but getting tired of it. Even just names of artists will suffice. I'm thinking something else 20th century but I'll take anything classical or baroque if it's good.

I am quite a maladapted person. 90% of my time is spent on either work or self destructive time wasting activities to get my mind off of other things. Every time I think "wtf am I doing with my life" I trace back my psychological steps and realize that if I were to shake all this shit off I would face bare reality and be unable to live. I can't and won't commit suicide so I'm just stuck here, killing time and jacking off while the few things I love pass away.
I've read very few books in my life. I'm 29 and trying to get into reading regularly but literary fiction is too boring for me; I like my genre fiction. Is reading anything better than reading nothing?

Blacks are ornery because they were slaves. They are embarrassed of their slavery, and their subconscious sense of inferiority is the catalyst of their violence.
I need far less social interaction than the average person. I'm not an autist or anything, I have friends, but I don't want to talk to them super often via our groupchats/dms. My gf and I sleep in separate rooms and essentially live separate lives except for the weekends. I don't really talk to my family. I don't leave my apartment much (work from home). I get the sense that I'm supposed to be upset or ashamed about this, but I just don't. I like it. I have a lot of space and a lot of peace.
>>24696204The catalyst of their violence is their genetically-predisposed low-impluse control, low-conscientiousness, garbage neurotoxic gutter culture and above all their extraordinarily low mean IQ.

>>24696213It’s important to be comfortable being alone. This modern phenomenon of constant connection (texting, calling, social media) isn’t the norm. People would say their goodbyes and be separated for months, years, and it would be normal. But expectations have changed. I wonder if you would feel the same way, if you realized how your behavior affects them. Could you be ok being alone, if you knew no one else was waiting for you? That is the case of many anons here.
