Autumn is here edition

Another day of succumbing to the perceivably "voluntary" jerks my body does in order to get to work to stutter mindless ejaculations about the weather and the season. Long gone is playing in the fountain, and clarity of thought threads where before was summer's hot malaise.

I like to be alone. At night in the woods the pines' sharp outlines turn uncertain and blue in the dimness. They shiver in the wind and let broken moonlight through gaps in the branches. Snow and tiny branches crunch under my feet. The breeze chills the sweat on my skin. Yes, that's it. A boulder looms in front of me, but in the dark, it seems the mouth of a black opening. I find places for my hands and scrape myself over its face. On the other side the stone blocks even the moon. The wind picks up, tears through my thin shirt, takes great strides above the forest, paces on the mountains overhead. Blood trickles off a cut on my arm. Distant rushing sounds off a hated highway fall into the arms of the woods and make it no further. A bare foot catches a sharp stone. Further, yes.

currently reading The Names by Delillo
I like it

Indeed. In general I find the first half of it peaceful and pleasant as early high summer. Never been a fan of August.

Peak end bias shows how the brain compresses experience, remembering only the transitions (beginnings and ends) and moments of intensity (the peaks and troughs) since they contain the most information. You can apply the same principle to fiction to derive the three act structure. Beginning and end and a middle, which is usually where people struggle, that should consist of peaks and troughs, with the rest summarized.

Found out Arthur Blessitt, the man who carried a 12-foot cross around the world, who visited every country and territory on Earth in an effort to evangelize, and who has the current world record of longest distance walked, passed away early this year. RIP. You're in the Lord's arms now.

I've been wanting to read, but Stardew Valley has a stranglehold on me, it's been like this for the past few nights. What makes it even more fun is that my mum also plays it, so we get to talk about it and compare notes and shit, it's pretty great.

Do you think monastic life for nuns is, psychologically speaking, like entering into a relationship with the ultimate chad of the cosmos for them? Maybe that's why Bernini's Saint Teresa looks like she's having an orgasm while being visited by an angel. Brides of God indeed.

Hell yeah. I'm not currently looking, but when I was, boy was it a struggle. Over 80 applications and nothing. And I know that's not many compared to some people.

I haven't spoken with my sexually abusive father in well over a decade at this point. Except for the one time I sent him a rage-fueled text message telling him I wish I had the strength to blow my brains out because of what he did to me.
>>
>>24742043
And did he reply?
>>
>>24742044
He called my mom and told her about it. I have his number blocked so he can't call me. In truth, I was just being a vindictive asshole and I needed to strike back at him. It sent my mom into a panic so I felt like shit afterwards. I'm a loser.
>>
>>24742047
Uh, so what did your mom say?

>I felt like shit afterwards. I'm a loser.
Not at all.

There is nothing more retarded than an autistic woman. Being socially retarded makes autistic men to the very least susceptible to logical arguments when appeal to common knowledge or common sense fails.
A woman is purely social. It's like talking to a wall pulling random fallacies whenever you stop talking.
The only women that are not dumb bitches are the normie women, and they are not dumb bitches only because calling them dumb would imply the existance of someone smarter.
>>
>>24742048
She asked if I needed to leave work early and if I was actually going to do anything. She almost had a panic attack when I first told her I thought about killing myself years ago, so it was a rough conversation. Eventually we both calmed down.

Men have their own issues, just check prison stats, but holy mother of God, if they are that retarded at least they have something to kill for, however retarded that might be.
I like women more than men, because women are more empathic and understand society better than men, so their litfic is deeper. But if normie men are failures, so are the exceptions of women.
It's less about sexism and more about understanding that we should euthanize these two groups of people in order to fix society.
Women would sit at home cooking and cleaning while writing their 800th litfic, men would be building roads and inventing a life easier for everyone.
No more redditors, no more whores.

I like autumn. Very underrated time of year. Very good reading time. I just live in the wrong part of the world for maximal enjoyment. Was in the Netherlands sitting in coffeeshops reading and that was perfect. They hate the rain though.

Just bought another 500 dollar book and it’s starting to feel normal which is weird.

500 dollar book? What, some sort of leatherbound auction piece from the 18th century?

>Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man

>The mother of a 15-year-old whose picture was used in a promotional post that featured a large “Get Threads” button said: “For me it was a picture of my daughter going to school. I had no idea Instagram had picked it up and are using it as a promotion. It’s absolutely disgusting. She is a minor.”

>She said she would have refused consent and “not for any money in the world would I let them use a girl dressed in a school uniform to get people on to [its platform]”.

>With 267 followers, her Instagram account usually had modest reach but the post of her child attracted nearly 7,000 views, 90% from non-followers, half of whom were aged over 44 and 90% of whom were men.

Finished Fight Club last night. It was a pretty fun book.

movie was better

Yeah it's quite the entertaining page-turner. I think I finished it in two sittings, which is no small feat on Palahniuk's part.
>>
>>24742186
I think I agree with this, although I think the movie is great.

I did it in about 4 sessions. Really sucked me in. It has an almost pulp energy. Glad I finally got around to reading it.

It’s not cold enough outside. I need to move to Vermont or something.

Nah contemporary fine press.

Yup that's the way.
We have forest close to our town at the edge so it's basically just 15 minute walk from town to forest but i have to carry since last time there were a lot of wild animals. Definitely don't want to get in some stupid situation my dad 5 years ago shot wolf there since they got too close.

If I abstain from ejaculation for 4-5 weeks, I eventually start emitting little drops of milky white pre-cum every time I take a large shit. Sometimes if I’m at work, I have to wipe the toilet bowl after so that nobodys thinks I was jerking off.

1. There are no abstract laws or principles which in themselves condition what kind of beings can exist or what beings can do.
2. Beings are conditioned by their own nature.
3. Beings are conditioned by other beings insofar as their own nature implies other nature. The essence of a being is its own nature which includes its other nature.
4. We observe a plurality of beings because there is a plurality of beings.
5. Reality is a being as are space and time.
6. It is possible to know beings insofar as their nature is inherently knowable.
7. It is possible to know beings insofar as our nature is inherently to know.
8. There are no relations between beings separate from the essence of the beings.
9. There are no abstract laws which in themselves determine what reasoning is valid. Reasoning is valid conditionally because of the essence of the reasoning being and the essence of the being being reasoned about.
10. A being cannot be created, destroyed, or controlled by another being unless its own nature is to be created, destroyed, or controlled. Beings arise under certain conditions because it is the nature of the being to arise under those conditions and because it is the nature of the conditions to give rise to it. Thus, all beings are free.
11. There is no morality that is not a result of the interdependence of individual beings.
12. Questions about how beings change are questions about beings that change, not questions about the nature of “beings” in general. Questions about how beings are produced from or composed of other beings are questions about the nature of the beings being produce or composed and the nature of the beings producing or composing, not questions about the nature of “beings” in general, and so on.
13. The origins and ultimate natures of space, time, and reality are unknowable because of the limits of human observational faculties, not due to any abstract limit on knowing in general.
14. Questions about the origin of abstract principles are questions about the beings those principles apply to, the mind that uses them, and a certain mode of representation.

>1. There are no abstract laws or principles which in themselves condition what kind of beings can exist or what beings can do.
a being cannot move faster than the speed of light. The rest of your comment is now wrong and you're retarded
>oh yeah well wormholes so
Please be serious
>>
>>24742729
>A being cannot move faster than the speed of light
this isn't an abstract law that beings conform to a priori, it's an observation about how beings behave which is caused by unknown factors.

I'm gonna buy an island and name it Faggot Central so that people have to say "I'm going to Faggot Central" and I'll say "likely place for you to go"
>>
>>24742730
Time itself is an abstract law that beings conform to a priori
>>
>>24742730
it is an abstract law that beings conform to a priori, though? nothing with mass can move faster than light, it would require infinite energy
>>
>>24742734
No. Time is a being which that other beings interact with.
>>
>>24742739
Being itself is an abstract law that beings conform to a priori
>>
>>24742738
the idea that beings can't move faster than light is a postulate of special relativity, so you can't use any facts from general relativity to prove it, as they are mathematical

I have been playing Lies of P for the better part of this month. Somehow the korean slopwriting works well in this particular setting. I like P, he's a good lad. He deserves to become friends with American Mcgee's Alice

what is this retard even saying

mathematical formulations of consequences of that postulate together with other assumptions

it's not complicated. if you want to refute nominalism, you'll have to come up with something less pedestrian than "muh speed of light"
