Why the fuck did my girlfriend buy oat milk. I hate that shit. I haven't told her I hate it but she should just know it.

movies are the best artform

Having bird thoughts

Cant lose weight due to consuming of food being the only positive thing left in life.

Simply can't be bothered.

I'm gonna eat two fat burgers with fries.

I'm gonna be bothered and do some deadlifts.

When I see someone make good art, I think to myself "Jesus Christ, I should kill myself". I don't actually want to kill myself but it feels good to think that because it's a drastic sentence and it just feels right. I'm trying to stop thinking it though, because if I keep thinking it, I might start wanting to kill myself for realsies.

My monitor keeps cycling on and off, it will do this for about an hour before it stays on.
praying its just a problem with the AC adaptor.

Back in the old days before I was on mood stabilizers I used to think that I was a divine being who was destined to move mountains. I wish I still had that unshakeable belief in myself

I may be retarded and it worries me

I've never been able to get into movies. They're too long and boring. Even "good" movies like Mullholland Drive I never really saw the appeal in. Every time someone asks me what my favorite movie is I just say some normie shit like Forrest Gump. Books are so much better

>>24757685
have u tried smoking more weed? i feel like david lynch movies are how u feel watching a normal movie when ur blazed af but u don't have to smoke cuz they're already like that

>>24757685
Films are too long I much prefer books that generally take 6 hours (spread out over several days) to read

>>24757688
No I haven't but that's a good idea, thanks. Next time I get high I'll watch a David Lynch movie

>>24757690
depends on the film like zodiac is almost three hours long but it goes by fast af but some shit is 90 minutes and ur like is it over yet

geeks always say these bullshit things like the internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it, etc. but if the internet is so robust why does it need a private company like cloudflare to make it usable?

>>24757692
Actually that’s fair enough, Persona is 90 mins but I’d rather be dead than rewatch that. Still it’s a dumb criticism to say films are too long & books are better when a book is always longer. And Truffaut said something like everyone criticises a film with a pair of scissors - ‘oh it could cut fifteen minutes’ - … films are a few hours your boring life goes on forever.

i hate how google punishes u with a captcha if u search without cookies such pricks

It's weird but I've always wanted to live in a shitty apartment. My aunt, who used to watch me and my brother while my parents were at work, lived in pretty shitty places so they feel sort of like home. Meanwhile, my actual home has been dominated by my father's tastes and tendency to clean so its always felt really sterile. I remember thinking to myself when I was little that I never want to be rich so I can live in an apartment like my aunt's

A girl said she used to have a crush on me. How am I supposed to respond to that?

>>24757725

>>24757719
well, i don't mind shitty apartments. they can be very homey, but if u want to actually have sex with attractive women, you can't live in a cardboard box.

Various Roman historians (too many to remember).

For years I have been fantasizing about creating an anti-hero type star wars character in a trilogy who revitalizes the franchise. It touches on deeper themes and involves a multitude of fight scenes. The ending leaves on a cliffhanger where the character after all he has been through flips his lightsaber in the air leading us to question whether it landed and killed him or not.

Then in a later marvel movie he appears to save the avengers and uses his brutal powers in a cross franchise shocker. The series eventually focuses on him and changes from quips and cringe humor to genuine good movies. He begins a relationship with a hated character like captain marvel to bring up an important character who isnt liked by using one who is.

Eventually she is killed by the main masked final villian of the franchise when he is not there to save her. He goes through inner turmoil and questions whether it is worth it to save everyone, as he knows he is the most powerful character.

He takes a couple movies off to make us miss him as people get angry thinking they wrote him off. In the very last marvel movie, he and the main villian duel while the avengers and the villian's army battles separately. The villian is revealed to be someone from his childhood (think a Kakashi vs obito thing).

The main character's abilities are based around fire and are otherworldly. He decides he can use his own body as an energy source practically creating a peaceful universe for all while the villian wants to destroy the universe to eliminate suffering.

The main character barely wins in a billion dollar budget fight scene and then sacrifices himself in eternal pain for his body to be used as an energy source

Each passing day I come to accept more and more that I am a very simple-minded, average person with very demarcated limits. I can strive to be the best version of what I am and that's alright because in the end that's all I ever had, and maybe that's all I ever needed.
This realization, this feeling of my opinions being irrelevant, worthless or "mid" has caused me an ever-growing aversion to sharing my thoughts and ideas on the internet, because either I am talking to people exactly like me (sharing midwit thoughts with midwits and thus I will not gain anything at all from the exchange other than the same feeling I'd get from winning a multiplayer game), or I'm talking to people who won't be moved or impressed at all by whatever I say, and at that point I'm better of reading a book than the regurgitated and mean spirited musings of someone on the internet. And furthermore, I just don't see any point in arguing for or against anything at all, now that I've convinced myself that every time I engage in an argument it's more about reinforcing an idea that I already have than in testing my ideas or acquiring new perspectives.
It's not just that I don't have anything "worthy" of sharing with the world, it's that I have no reason to share anything at all. Someone else out there is already arguing for or against everything I could be arguing for or against (and with much more energy, intellect and resources than I could have or spend).
Nobody needs me or will miss me here.

>>24758261
There is a lot to be said for shutting up.

>>24758261
Nothing wrong with not being important. A select few become intellectual giants and movers of history, while the rest of us just have to do the best with the cards we're dealt. I don't sell myself short and avoid intellectual pursuits, but I also recognize that I have limits and that there's always a bigger fish when it comes to intellectual pursuits.
I like to think of it as peasantmaxxing. My ancestors were peasants, going back as far as there are reliable records, and even if peasants aren't exactly a thing anymore in America, I was raised from peasant stock. So there's no expectation for me to be great or anything, and if I happen to get really good at something or understand an intellectual matter to a great degree, it's an unexpected positive development, something to be happy about. If I was from some serious academic or intellectual lineage and wasn't quite as good at it as I was expected to be, matters might be different, and I might even be depressed about it. But that's a burden carried by other types of people with much greater potential than me, a peasant who happened to be born in the 21st century instead of the 12th. I can spend as much time struggling to understand a book of philosophy as I want and no one will expect more out of me. Peasantmaxxed.

>>24758346
I really dont know. Maybe the site is simply dying. Ever since Elon took over X, all the based lads probably went back on there. I imagine niche hobbies/interests are better on reddit. All the young people are on tiktok. 4chan used to be the place for memes and discussions, but its kinda dead. Same ting probably happened with a lot of sites that just slowly died over the years.

And, to be fair, the whole internet has become uninspired. Its like it was a great way for the world to talk, and now no one has anything left to say. Its like the world needs a localist contractions, so unique cultures/ideas/art etc. can develop again.

I’ve been with a girl before but I’ve never paid for it. And sometimes I feel like I’m a virgin in that world like they are in this one. Like I really have this idea if I ever got a hooker she’d be really into it because I’m probably top 1% attractiveness as far as her clients go. But actually she’d probably look right through me. But how could she, she’s still a girl at the end of the day

I presume it's a common enough occurence for them. Some try to expend some effort to make it work. Others may pretend some dissapointment in the idea that I do think find them attractive enough (though that is not the case). They are usually supportive but what can you do.
>And sometimes I feel like I’m a virgin in that world like they are in this one.
It's all the same to me really
>Like I really have this idea if I ever got a hooker she’d be really into it because I’m probably top 1% attractiveness as far as her clients go
At best you'd be an "easy" client. You are right, they are humans too. But remember they are all pretending for the money. They've seen it all

>>24758647
Yeah. Though imagine yourself in their position. I bet they really would start wondering if they’re actually attractive enough if they get a goodlooking client. But I guess it depends how jaded they are by all of it. Wonder if sex is ever still exciting for a brass ever again.

I think you should assess why exactly you hate yourself, what behavior you have is evil enough to warrant hate, and then look at others and see how much of that malicious behavior they exhibit. You are probably just as terrible as the average person. The catch is that if you realize that you are not as shit as the average person your hatred will turn onto others and that's the kind of stuff that truly erodes you.

I knew a girl who was an escort for a couple months and she once told me about a really good experience she had, and she said when she met the guy she was shocked at how normal looking he was. And she started getting all self-conscious wondering if she was pretty enough for him, reverting back to being a girl.

If there's a book launch event and the author is doing signing afterwards, you can bring any of their books to get signed, not just the newest one they're launching, right?

Also pretty much our whole messenger conversation had been him recounting to me stories of his hookups in graphic detail with a healthy dose of misogyny. It was odd to imagine his mother reading through it.

Why the fuck does this happen? I don't like asking for money back and when shit like this happen I refrain from lending money to the latter person ever again.

Great googly moogly

People don't understand how much fun it was to be into math and science on Quora in 2013-2015. Genuinely my favorite place and time on the Internet. Breaks my heart to see what Quora has become now

>>24758949
Are you the retard that adds turmeric to everything

>>24758998
I stopped lending people money altogether unless it's some tiny sum, as far as employed people asking for money I guess it's because they're working to pay off they're numerous other debts

>>24759063
>as far as employed people asking for money I guess it's because they're working to pay off they're numerous other debts
I guess, but this one particular friend is pretty well off all things considered. I know this because I know his family and they're pretty wealthy.

>>24759062
You see one post that mentions adding turmeric to something and you assume that I am some other person who adds it to everything?

I keep having dreams where like some sort of cosmic event happens where our area of the universe gets transported somewhere else. It is so fucking hard to explain but despite us going all together I feel a very scary feeling of being separated forever

>>24759050
What has it become? And what was so great?

>>24758998
It's obvious, isn't it? The former person knows the value and importance of money and keeping contract whereas the latter person couldn't really care less, and I don't even mean that in a rude way, it's purely situational -- if the topic were raised with them, they'd probably say, "oh why the rush?" whereas the former person perfectly understands it.

>>24758261
I relate to this. I have so many interests that pull me in different directions that i just stagnate. It's gotten worse as i've gotten older. It hurts to accept that you're just average or even slightly below. I wonder if it's due to environment. I grew around people that were very self-obsessed and i think it ruined my self esteem and expectations. I've watched others accomplish things i wish i could do. It's so hard for me to be productive. I daydream a lot.

I have this habit of instinctively using a higher pitched voice when talking to certain people in public, usually workers I'm interacting with like nurses, bus drivers, and the like, for the purposes of appearing more innocent and kind I suppose. It was fine when I was younger and looked like a kid but now that I'm getting older, I feel ridiculous doing it and yet I don't know how to stop. Trying to use my regular voice in those situations is something I'm finding difficult. Just need more practice I suppose.

>>24758277
That's a good way of looking at it. I guess i am one too. In modern terms, i would describe it as being middle class. Solid average middle class. That's the most i can be. It's always been tough being average and having a mundane life. I think it's worse nowadays with technology. It's easy for us to be bombarded with people who are way above average. If we lived a long time ago, we wouldn't be inundated with those people so much. We'd be so ignorant of above average people.

You can also see that they don't like us. The above average people in our society look down on us. We're not like them and they're not like us. I got so convinced that i could be somebody, that i forgot that those people couldn't relate to me. After dealing with some physical and mental health problems, i couldn't imagine relating to people who were above average from an early age. I'm already molded and used to my life. Regular people can be bad, but if i somehow managed to become more than average or below, i don't think i would trust anyone who wasn't average. I couldn't imagine relating to those people. It would probably feel like being in a war that they weren't in.

>>24759080
yes. That’s how it works in movies.

>>24759163
Fine, you caught me. I will NEVER stop adding turmeric to everything I make and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

You shouldn't have too much turmeric or too frequent. You might stain your teeth.

I just finished the Broom of the System and the descriptions of Judith Prietht trying to get a blessing for her morbidly obese cat from the television preacher made me feel an awful emotion. Especially when she was using the cat’s paw to wave at everybody during the climax and when she was talking about wanting to place the cat’s paw on the television screen to touch Syke’s hand. I know I’ve felt this before several times but I can’t remember when specifically or what caused it. Can anyone else relate?

>>24759252
I don't know how intelligent I am and I go out of my way to avoid finding out. I tested at 130 in high school but I've had multiple head injuries, years of depression, drug use, and inactivity since then. My memory feels particularly cooked.

I realised I was my best friend’s placeholder friend. I find it very hard to just hang out with people now

I've been in relationships and out of them but no matter what I do I never feel alone. I walk around my place and it always feels like there's enough of a voice inside my head to keep the thoughts bouncing back and forth. If it's a defense mechanism, it doesn't seem to ever stop.

sometimes i try to rationalize it but the honest truth is that whole situation hurt me so deeply I cant really trust anyone anymore, the whole idea of being friends with someone your whole life then them immediately jumping ship and pushing you away with a 10ft pole the moment they can do so kinda warps your mind

[SS13: Content Farm Edition]

You awaken.
Not gently. Not peacefully.
You awaken like a corrupted mp4 on a potato laptop—jittery, half-rendered, reality buffering at 3 FPS.

HUD loads with a CapCut transition:

Welcome to Nanotrasen’s SS13 Neuro-Simulation.
Role: Assistant.
Objective: literally survive lol (ratio).

Airlock doors swish open. Audiovisual terrorism hits instantly:

Clown on a segway, blasting “Skibidi Toilet Nightcore” from a jury-rigged boombox. Walls strobe with a “GYATT ” watermark.

Security officer in riot armor Sigma-stare-walks down the corridor while comms echo with Rizzler soundboard spam.

Botanist sprinting with a glowing GMO banana that screams “WHAT THE SIGMA??” in bass-boosted distortion.

Your brain fails to parse.
You take 3 SAN damage.

Stats (scuffed):

Strength: 3 (toolbox = heavy)

Dexterity: –2 (keep default-dancing in front of captain)

Intelligence: 1 (knows wires ≠ food, might eat them anyway)

Luck: ??? (depends on algorithm blessing you)

AI tannoy booms:

“Attention crew: productivity low. Fanum Tax is doubled. Pay in food or perish.”

Cargo screams:

“NOT THE FANUM TAX AGAINNN ”

PDA buzzes. Central Command:

“Reminder: TikTok engagement below 12%. Please produce content.”

You close PDA. Eyes twitch.
This isn’t a workplace sim.
It’s a content farm.

Round spirals instantly:

Medbay forms a Skibidi cult, dragging patients into cryo to “be edited into the next episode.”

Engineering converts the singularity into a giant ring light.

Clown dual-wields bike horns synced to Grimace Shake audio.

You stumble into the bar. Bartender slams cocktails like TikTok slime videos—bright, unsafe, hyper-saturated. He hands you:

Item: Brainrot Smoothie
Effect: +10 dopamine
Side effect: psychic echo of “ONLY IN OHIO ”

You drink anyway.

Syndicate agent approaches. Voice glitch-shifts through TTS filters:

“Yo, slide me that ID and I’ll make you viral.”

They offer an uplink disguised as a TikTok repost bot.
HUD pulses neon:

[Buy Revolver (Sound: “Skraaa! Pa-pa-pa-pa!”)]

[Buy C4 (“Me fr when Ohio strikes”)]

[Buy Clown Car (bass-boosted theme auto-plays)]

[Decline (you’ll be Sigma Fail Comped)]

Crew melts down. The algorithm demands sacrifice.

Somewhere, the intercom distorts:

“WHOLE LOTTA RED ALERT. WHOLE LOTTA RED ALERT.”

The thing that creeps me out about these people real fucking hard is that they can have this haha yeah right dude sort of persona or this pseudo-dignified air to them one moment but then the mask will fall off for a single sentence and they will say something self-evidently insane with a face of pure murder, then go back to the other face they wear as if they didn't say anything crazy just moments before. If reptilians pretending to be humans was actually a thing this would be their equivalent of having reptilian pupils and a forked tongue during a moment of carelessness, when they thought you weren't looking, or when they just felt like doing it as a flex, as if they were saying that they don't even need the mask anymore because there is nothing that you can do about it.

Veteran Portuguese producer Paulo Branco has begun principal photography on the €4.5 million ($5.3 million) dystopian drama “Aqui,” directed by Tiago Guedes ad shooting in Spain and Portugal.

Acclaimed South African and Australian novelist, J.M. Coetzee, winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, sold the rights to his “Jesus” trilogy to Branco, on condition that the film is shot entirely in Spanish.

Veteran Portuguese producer Paulo Branco has begun principal photography on the €4.5 million ($5.3 million) dystopian drama “Aqui,” directed by Tiago Guedes ad shooting in Spain and Portugal.

Acclaimed South African and Australian novelist, J.M. Coetzee, winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature, sold the rights to his “Jesus” trilogy to Branco, on condition that the film is shot entirely in Spanish.

>>24759536
The “Jesus” trilogy, published in the 2010s, explores how the English language is taking over the world and reflects Coetzee’s interest in the Global South and in particular Argentine literature.

In the film, child refugee David (played by first-time actors Álex Peláez and Hugo Encuentra) befriends Simón (Manolo Solo) on a boat travelling to a no-man’s land. Upon their arrival Simón meets Inés (Patricia López Arnaiz) and the three flee to a new city where David is enrolled in a dance academy and develops mysterious abilities.

Alongside distinguished Spanish actors Solo (“Close Your Eyes”) and López Arnaiz (“20,000 Species of Bees”), the high-profile cast includes Itsaso Arana (“Volveréis”), Ángela Molina (“Live Flesh”) director Fernando Trueba, Argentine actor Daniel Elias (“The Delinquents”) and French actors Lambert Wilson (“The Matrix Reloaded”) and Sergi López (“Map of the Sounds of Tokyo”).

Branco (“Cosmopolis,” “Mysteries of Lisbon”) is one of Europe’s most prolific producers having produced over 300 films with leading auteurs including David Cronenberg, Paul Auster, Alain Tanner, Wim Wenders, Raúl Ruiz, Chantal Akerman and Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi.

I've only ever seen her face once. Her true face. It was early morning, and she had glasses on. She had come from somewhere outside, and was headed for the office in this slow gait. Her brows were even, her eyes a shade duller than usual, and her lips were bent into this scowl. When she walked by, the air was thick. So much so you could through it with a knife. I was convinced that if I'd spoken to her, she'd bite my head off. Even though, in truth, the mask would snap right back on and she'd answer me with at least some feigned enthusiasm. Enough to buy herself time to get to the office, away from me and the rest of the world. I will never forget that morning. It was the morning that made me realize how much of a boy I still was compared to all the problems, to all the pain that hid just below the surface of those tired, tired eyes. Helping her was beyond my power, and in that I found that I was nothing.

It was great anon. You had actual experts (physics professsors, professional mathematicians in academia and industry, CS academics, masters of various engineering fields, etc.) answering questions, even those of a dumbass teen like me. And the answers were always detailed, always good. It was the platonic ideal of a questions and answers site.

But then they started monetizing it, giving people a perverse incentive to answer even when they weren’t qualified to. And then there was an influx of political people (2016 and all). And then there was a tsunami of Indians who turned this little bubble of science discussion into a place where people tried to get advice on getting jobs/visas and swapped sex stories. The combination of all of this ruined the platform. I haven’t been able to find anything like it.

The only thing carrying us forwards is momentum.

It is genuinely difficult to write erotica that is more than pornographic in nature

>>24760277
It is because erotica can only be mimicry, a skinwalker version of the act, which isn't by itself anything of worth. There is nothing lower than pornography.

>>24760289
So what’s the real act then, as far as literature is concerned? Romance?

>>24760277
Lmao wut. The best erotica is pornographic. That's the point.

>>24760298
I guess. It's about the human experience not the physical experience. You cannot translate what you feel when you make love into words.

>>24760277
What's the point of erotica if not the pornographic aspect? Write romance if you want, y'know, romance.

>>24760344
No, no, yes. That mustache was very peculiar to that time, that's why it died with Hitler. Mustache aren't very popular so there's a chance they would have died in popularity, but there are different styles of mustache so it would have probably been the kind that alt-Hitler wore that would've died off. Like handlebar mustache.
