>>25000692Hells yeah. Conquest and departure. Gotta do what you've gotta do. Cycles of decay and rebirth. She'll never forget that experience, and for him? Just another Tuesday hustling the booty.

This is hard to explain but I'm trying to figure out if this is mild schizophrenia, adhd, or something else.I've heard "voices" in my head for years that usually only happen when I am anxious. I know these voices arent real and I hear them in my head, they are not auditory in any way. They are more like thoughts that pop into my head that I can perceive. They are almost always nonsensical things that do not relate to what is happening and it is never anything harmful or whatnot. It has not gotten worse in the 12~ years I've noticed it.
>>25000746Eh, depends how hard the work is. It is ridiculous but that's the effort required often times. The more ridiculous part is the unnecessary woo and convincing for something that was proposed immediately. Both sides are equally insane, but the dude is smart in my eyes for viewing it as transactional, the exact way she did.
regarding Xitter, Elon Musk monetising posts completely ruined the site in the same way that monetising ruined YouTube.There's no way to block blue checks, and almost the entire site is now people telling 'fake LinkedIn' engagement bait stories in the hopes of making money. You could say money is the root of all evil, but I think the actual root of evil is putting money where it's not supposed to be.Dating was ruined by women expecting to be treated lavishly with money, a lot of women feel insulted if you just want to walk in the park and talk, which is insane because that is the most natural thing available to us.Money makes artists who have ambitious ideas engage in slop-tropes and trends in order to make a living. Real estate divorced the concept of a family home and turned it into a "you'll never really own the house" facade with property taxes.Money makes buisness CEOs psychopathically dismantle their entire country to get access to workers who will humiliate themselves for cheaper.I think an artistic society can only exist when a benefactor is being generous to the right people, and that's so depressing because it's obviously an unrealistic sustainable course of events, and so we're essentially prevented from all these masterpieces just because a CEO once again has decided to buy a Lambo rather than support a homeless artist with a vision.
>>25000762my experience with schizophrenia is that the voices are external and seem out of your control (until you have an episode or two and realise you're insane, which strangely makes you experience and more able to locate it in your head)
>>25000768Nothing of what I heard implied it was proposed immediately. But I'm not going to dog on him, if he needs it he needs it. Spics will be spics.

>>25000990listen to classical music and great pop singles that is all I listen to and it has served me well I hope
>>25000789True, money incentives always forces you to align with the masses. If you make useful products that's fine, cause the masses only have to give feedback in the form of "this product works good, this product doesn't work, it's shit". But anything intellectual, art and conversations, when associated with money becomes dumb, because people are dumb, and believe and empathize with mostly untrue things. Some exception will always appear, and great minds won't mind being misunderstood, because their work was meant for an aristocracy.
>>25001050I don't know if they will be at all appealing to you but I recently read Shelley's "Revolt of Islam" and Tolstoy's "A Confession" and they revived me from a year long malaise and depression that felt inescapable. I believe different things work for different people, but as long as you believe in art (which I have to presume given you are on a literature forum), I believe there are a few artists who exist that no matter how lost you are you can always fall back on as your true allies. I hope you find or have found yours
>>25000990I could see this being a problem in the 80s and 90s but now we have incorporated music into everything and it is always accessible, you have never been more protected from the album format.

Climate change being a solved problem (see solar panel adoption, etc.) makes me feel so odd. This was the cause which consumed my life back in 2023. Now it’s done, and while I’m glad we solved it I unironically feel empty. The future I thought was coming, civilizational collapse in 2050, isn’t, and I don’t know what the future will actually be like.
>>25001214can’t imagine ever taking climate change seriously. even when i actually believed it as a kid i still barely felt anything above indifference. it’s almost designed for that; an impersonal statistic story. no flesh and blood.
>>25001214It's not a problem solved by solar panels. It's more likely to be solved by nuclear power because most renewables aren't that good, and even if they were, couldn't outcompete nuclear. It is also unlikely that society would collapse by 2050, even if something more catastrophic than climate change did happen.Climate change is likely going to happen any way. But most of it isn't going to be from what you think, such as human fossil fuel use, which is a limited and expensive resource. You switch everything run on fossil fuels to nuclear fuel, you're still looking at land and water use problems driving it. The main reason why solar and wind and other inefficient solutions compared to nuclear are so valued is because they use insanely large areas of land, which benefits large landowners. It's the same thing with massive monoculture farming which also drives not just climate change but human discomfort, it's like that because it's cost effective for the landowner.For a quick way to see this: pollen counts increasing are in part from climate change, where more CO2 can lead to earlier flowering or more allergenic pollen. But pollen counts increase in response to human monocultures making it harder for male plants to sense female plants or other sexual triggers. Even if you reduced the CO2 exposure and heat exposure to the plants, planting them in a single sex large monoculture would still give higher than normal pollen outputs. That's further exacerbated by city planning: a lot of American cities plant only male trees, to avoid cleaning up fruit from any female trees, but while cities produce more heat and CO2, what really sends all those male trees into overdrive on the pollen is they can sense high male competition and low female availability. Funnily enough, if cities in the US had chosen to plant only female trees, they might have to occasionally clean up fruit from low levels of stray pollen getting through, but they wouldn't have every tree putting out allergens like they're looking for the last female on earth.
>>25000633>>25000633About 5 hours ago I woke from a pleasant dream, rather visually rich, in which a house owned by a family of (very) old money eccentrics was the main character. Floating as much as walking around in it, I acknowledged the cheerfully secluded patriarch, with raised eyebrow telegraphy mutually visible via a hall from his a library/study from the top of stairs on the 2nd floor, that has two theaters on it. Momentarily I saw the place in a flash architectural plan just before Melvyn Bragg narrated, "They live like pieces in a game neglected out of boredom with all that" Or words to the general effect. Play, in the better sense of the term, is nothing at all like games.
A girl told me to do something, and that did something to me.
>>25001269oh wow this guy has all the answers! and is giving it out for free?!
>>25001092the world has become a lot more 'for the people', rather than elitist, and it's suffering tirelessly because of it.In the past, someone would invent something and smart people would go "what an invention! thank you for advancing technology", but now every single invention is just making some faggot retard cuck or cuckette's life easier.AI could've been 100 years ahead by now if it wasn't expected just to be some Google 2.0 export.Celebrities used to be special, but now they all want to be "just like YOU", I genuinely believe that the only moral answer is a meritocracy.In any other world, a swedish bodybuilder getting shot by an illegal would prompt a serious conversation that values life in Sweden. But it's like car's crashing on the highway, no one cares because life has been devalued to such a gross extent.
>>25001282Lol that's not even a reasonable fraction of the answers we'd need to be healthy animals, it's just a fun story about why trees hate you for making them into incels too

>>25001376how can that be, I was not the one that called them an idiot.
>>25001358What a flaccid presumptive post. Goddamn anon, you could teach idiocy for a living. You're the Milton of Morons, apparently.No, I'm good at quite a few things, I just find insulting people fun. And I am also good at it. Judging by your "prose" I am probably much better read. I read your insane rambling nonsensical post about elitism and hopped in because I saw blood in the water; I smelled the fear pheromones of the perpetually perplexed. I don't insult people on Twitter or whatever, I insult people here. This is my home, the bathypelagic piss depths of the piss ocean, and you waltz into my abyssal lair like you own the place. I mean, you're welcome, just don't be surprised when people find it fun to insult you as your capabilities for retort and comprehension are rather low.

>>25001353fair enough actually.

I've been here so long I am part of the ecosystem, like background radiation. Sure I'll move from here to there, but if you care about who I am over what I'm saying it sure seems like you don't understand this website or why I'm here.

For whatever reason.>>25001214Can you please elaborate on how exactly climate change is now solved? It's a multifacetic issue that spans more than just energy, even if energy is a large part.>>25001226The absolute lack of a winter where I live and extreme drought makes it much harder to ignore, personally.
>>25001385None of the anons, but>I am probably much better read(and completely unprompted too)is probably one of the most condemning tell that someone is an utter idiot with no self-respect and no pride. I'd feel so disgusted about myself if I had to say this lmao
>>25001499>The technologyYou can see where the Greek and Roman technology was on that graph, and it getting colder didn't help their increasingly shitty yields either That decline from around 3000 is rapid deforestation in Europe/North Africa. You can see it sort of reforest as the Roman empire stops launching mad naval battles See those other two little dips further on before the industrial spike? That's the age of sail taking out even more lumber because Europe had to explore to get more boat building oak.A lot of bad things humans do cause cooling as much as warming. If you want to be more horrified, remind yourself the amount average temperatures have risen is being mitigated by equally dangerous human cooling. Water vapour and pollutants can increase opacity and cool the earth, so when you're taking out how much warming planes cause from emissions because the big idea is to stop/cut down on planes and their fuel use, you have to add in how much their vapour trails also cool the planet. We only really have the few days around 9/11 without planes as a sample for what might happen: while there are a multitude of confounding factors, temps rose about a degree when planes stopped flying. That's the kind of thing you'd want to hope is otherwise explained error.
>>25001557Yes. Utter idiot? For sure. Self hating? Hells yeah. Wrong? Not so much.
I have had no good thoughts today, here's a dream I apparently had that I picked from my notes :Dream: we were 3, me, Theo and someone else (a girl maybe), we had just decided to leave the others die to the curse of the shark on their boat, realizing none of us cared about anyone on that boat, then on our way back on the port a 4th girl that was part of our group earlier (looked like nora but was named davidodavid) was in a skirt and ran and jumped on me, making me have to carry her with my hands on her naked thighs.
>>25001561Exactly and you didn't even mention that most of the trees cut down were used for wood coal which was then burned dirty releasing cooling particle pollution. The cooling from particle pollution like that is not subtle like the CO2 effect, a single volcano can cool the planet for years.Shortly after Iceland burned all their forests for coal was followed by a mini ice age in Europe. Presumably it was not just Iceland burning on that scale, without trees they used peat instead. Oil and even mined coal releases much less particles pollution than either wood or peat. In the 1980-90s particle pollution was considered an existential problem which led to probably the fastest reduction in particle pollution in human history.Water vapour can cool or trap heat depending on specifics but more trees definitely lead to more water in the air and the idea that too many trees might kill the planet seems far fetched. The mainstream theory about how CO2 causes a runaway effect needs the increased heat from CO2 to cause more heating water vapour to be realized which causes a runaway loop, releasing more vapour etc. Every step rests on multiple unreasonable assumptions that haven't actually been demonstrated at all.
>>25001590Sounds like a dream someone with gender dysphoria would have.
>>25001633There's a much greater reduction in particle pollution during the industrial age, and part of why the London underground is mostly white is because the first electric company to lay an underground tunnel in London immediately advertised that you did not come out covered in soot. Smaller particles, sure, but London fog was killing people like it was one of China or India's current pollution disasters of particles while also coating everything in unburnt fuel. >Iceland This is a late comer to the practice. Ireland for example starts human deforestation from near total forestation in the Mesolithic, and by the time the 1600s come around, there's only about a tenth of the island with trees, basically all of which are secondary growth, not primeval. The Iceland deforestations are Vikings looking for fuel and boat building, but it was about 40% coverage at the time they showed up. Ireland has cleared most all hillsides by the Neolithic, and there wasn't much impact from the Vikings on deforestation there because most the trees were already gone by then since they continued cut and burn farming for millennia inbetween
I need an account name. Anyone got some good ideas?
>>25001684>IcelandI only bring it up to demonstrate the scale. Most of Europe was burning as much or more. Enough for around 10.000 people to deforest a large island with a coast covered in forests in 3 centuries at most.The period before the ice age was the period of relative peace and population growth full Christianization brought to Europe.
I believe much more of the male population is attracted to girls aged 12-17 than society would want you to believe. I am not arguing for sexual relations or marriages between men and girls of this age group, but i believe pretending that this is a major disorder that you need therapy for is ridiculous. There is no way in hell people hundereds and thousands of years ago were constantly screwing girls from this age group and suddenly all that attraction vanishes when modern age of consent laws are put in place. There is no evolutionary or biological reason why this would happen as well.I believe men who do abuse these girls should be sentenced to life in prison, again, I am not arguing against that. Only if you feel those urges strongly should you need therapy or whatnot.
>>25001711Thinking a girl is pretty isn't the same as intending to have sex with her. Not at all, in fact.
>>25001499>the political will for mass adoption isn't.It’s there in China and the 3rd world. Even in the West, the advantages of solar over oil make its adoption inevitable.>>25001549>Can you please elaborate on how exactly climate change is now solved? It's a multifacetic issue that spans more than just energy, even if energy is a large part.Given trends in solar power adoption in China, it’s clear that country will move to being carbon neutral soon. I expect the 3rd world to follow as well as Europe. America will too once it becomes clear that solar outperforms oil.I do think that it’s mostly a fuel and electricity issue. Once that’s all powered by renewables, we’re fine.
>>25001711I feel like it's pushing even later now, that if a man in his 30s thinks a woman in her 20s is attractive that's becoming creepy. The idea that you can't think teen (especially late teen or even 20s) girls are hot once you're over 18 or whatever is a bizarre, and recent, invention. Like, within my lifetime recent. We went from sexy coed cheerleaders to "don't even look at her if she's under 30" in under a decade.
>>25001711It's too broad an age range you're setting, because most men are attracted to fertile women, which is generally the later stages of that period or beyond it when you take account of historical menarche ages, which are later than modern ones.Males generally reach maturity later, about 15, but menarche isn't prime fertility for females, and generally you're looking at about 17 for prime fertility from them. It's possibly incidental the longest lived, best financial and emotional pairings of straight people with age gaps are the ones where the female is approximately 2 years older than the male, especially if they met before 21It's probably not therapy worthy, but it isn't what most people are attracted to, or the best pair bonding, especially if the male is older
>>25001740To be fair, zoomer girls are incredibly immature and more neotonous than ever.

It takes a lot of effort to give oneself all one's pride, to bury it deep inside like a second heart, so that it becomes the building light of all our flows, of our animation and contribution to life, competing with everything; plunged into pain when it struggles to find an equal elsewhere, and bursting with joy on the few occasions when this happens: it takes a lot of strength to love, and one's whole being to love oneself, men who love themselves have been rare.
Dignity, Rights, Pride, and many others I might find, have been coopted by slave morality to mean different things. Almost every word who is in part related to the work of evaluating must be redefined in a slave mindset : value you don’t gain, you don’t take, you have, they say, and that ought to force others to behave: it is law, that is reality, that is nature, it is so! No, value you have none until you give it to yourself, and perpetuate it by your strength, That is so!

I've come to believe that time is god and temporality is actuality. I believe that in order to become actual, time incarnated into itself and became temporal. That means that time is fully temporal and could be destroyed. This means that events which are happening right now could be erased from having ever happened.
>>25001985I'd say don't overdose on the Nietzsche but it may be too late. Decent quote though.
>>25002105it's not Nietzsche it's me being possessed by him; not surprised someone would make the mistake because he writes like shit and so do I.> Don't overdoseThe more I'll discharge him the more I'll get repulsed by him(?), maybe, I don't know if it's a sound strategyAnother thought for today :Letters, (I mean actually writing letters not administrative stuff) they were part of human life for so long, and have now basically ended, and not too long ago too. So many things get wiped with the turn of technology . . .

It's my last night in my hometown for the holidays before flying back and spending another year at work. This time of year always seems to sting a little. I live alone and have almost no social life so maybe it's just the brief exposure to the warmth of regular human contact riding up against the knowledge that I'll spend the next 11 months doing nothing but working and sleeping. Does living alone ever get better? This has been pretty brutal so far and my hopes for the future aren't bright. I've had days where the thought of just skipping work to lay in bed seemed so very tempting, days where I thought it would be best if I just didn't wake up again, and times when I came home and immediately crawled into bed to hug my pillow with the lights off.

Loving someone means giving them the power to betray you. That's why I need a sword.
Nothing in life will ever again be so thrilling, terrifying, and mysterious as your first sexual discoveries in childhood -- not even losing your virginity, let alone the conquests of adult sexual life which are a pitiful and dull pastime in comparison, like golf.

>>25002339pff I don't love it I just think it's neat, the way it glints in the sun, the way its hair smells..
>>25002337nothing in life will ever be as thrilling, terrifying, mysterious as anything in childhood. as far as sex goes though, i’m beginning to realise the years of illumination aren’t adolescence, like the grown-ups try to tell us, but the ones immediately after that. like mid-twenties. when you get thoroughly embroiled and lose your head.
Pointing out things, practices and attitudes which used to be taken for granted but are no longer around is far too easy. What I'm curious about are the things which we take for granted here and now, but which will no longer be around in the future. Decay is a perpetual fall in a bottomless pit rather than a fall and a crash, after all.
>>25002396I disagree, all you have are your memories of childhood in contrast with whatever you are currently experiencing... your actual childhood was almost certainly sparse of 'experiences.' if I try to remember some meaningful or 'wonderful' experience, of course I default to the same stock memories from childhood, but if I think for five more second, I can come up with other experiences I may have had quite recently that were similar and in fact, if you can step outside your thoughts for five seconds, you can see that what you are experiencing right now is itself just as real if not more real than anything you experienced as a child. also, discovering masturbation wasn't that great either.

It's crazy how fascinating the Soviet Union is, even from an a-political stance. I've been fixated on it for almost 7 years and I still never get tired of reading about it and ordering old Soviet trinkets off eBay kek

I can hear voices when I plug my earbuds into my computer and turn on a travel vlog video with the volume on and not muting the tab the video is playing on on my browser and my ears open to listen to the voices of the ones speaking in the travel vlog and my brain operating to translate the sound waves entering my ear into voices while blood is pumping into the brain from my heart while breathing to add oxygen to the blood cells.

>>25000633Isn't it ironic that Westerners of all people insult East Asians by comparing them to eusocial insects? You'd think the architects of international trade, modern logistics, the world's most impressive megaprojects, etc. Would have more respect for the class of insect most identifiable by their practice of organized labour.Speaking of. How would people that actually function like Eusocial insects be like? Bee people, Wasp people, Ant people, Termite people.The French Eugenecist Georges Vacher de Lapouge dreamed of a time when man's selfish instincts would be completely obliterated like those of the Bees, Ants, or Termites.
Considering making more coffee. My sleep schedule has gone from normal to fucked multiple times over the course of the last few weeks: guess that's "fucked," overall, then. https://youtu.be/ZYxfOxjswxc>>25002867Maybe try fish oil (Omega-3 fatty acids) and green tea (L-theanine).

How do you get over the overwhelming feeling you get when you look at your shelf and see countless unread books? Books you brought years ago when you was interested in a certain field of literature that you no longer feel strongly about (but not apathetic enough towards that you want to get rid of the book, just in case). The sheer chore selecting my next read burns me out to a point I think I need to get rid of all my books and start from scratch, but I've got plenty of good books I want to read/reread and I've put a lot of money into them, even if most of them are second hand. I've had it in the past where I've got rid of a book only to regret it later on as the subject of said book has picqued my attention again. What do?>inb4 get an ereaderI have one and I have the same problem because I download a lot of books.
>>25002876I had it once just before the global pandemic, which was a pretty bad flu. I tested positive a second time just after the lockdowns were lifted, although I doubt I had it as I had zero symptoms and the tests were unreliable. And I had it a few months ago, which was like a very bad cold. >>25002878Yeah, you're right. I do feel better when I'm not on the internet. I just get into slopes of depression where all I can concentrate on is wasting time online.
>>25002878This site is a hell of a better alternative to doom-scrolling (the purview of sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube). 4chan doesn't have the eternal feed like those sites^^^ do.
>>25002880> How do you get over the overwhelming feeling you get when you look at your shelf and see countless unread books?I place read books on my shelf. The unread stuff goes on my windowsillSame goes for my downloaded books. They stay unorganized in my download folder until I read them
>>25002883Probably wouldn't be long COVID then if you didn't get it a bunch of times in a row. I'm just spitballing here. What you said about it maybe being a result of poor gut health could be equally as likely.
>>25002885>This site is a hell of a better alternative to doom-scrolling (the purview of sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube). 4chan doesn't have the eternal feed like those sites^^^ do.The doomscrolling with their endless feeds induce a comatose state of passivity, this site on other hand creates a kind of FOMO and with it an active never-ending search for new things. Sure its better relatively, but on a spectrum both fall short of being conducive to a healthy well-being.

I've never been more impressed with a book purchase in my life. Its a hard cover, and the cover feels nice on the fingertips. The outer part of pages have a gold- colored coating. The illustrations are the same as in the original first edition of the book. The font is very readable and easy on the eyesPeter Pauper Press seems to be a great publisher
>>25002921Looks like trite, B&N cardboard shite.
Someone told me it was now easier than ever to solo develop video games and I should try again. It's not. You still need to be a savant level genus of like 12 different branches of extremely high level software engineering and highly competent in 20+ specializations in various arts to do much of anything solo.Sure, it's easy to shit out a basic pong game without knowing anything about anything. Or you could probably "vibe code" some shitty basic match 3.But to make something worth putting your name on is still something only dudes at the apex of intelligence and specialist knowledge can do all on their own.If anything it's harder than in the past.In the past there were at least a few options where you could learn one software program like flash then learn the individual skills to make games in growing complexity as you learned more.Now it takes 4 different programs to make a single simple asset.To make a relatively simple game with modern stuff available is absurdly complex and if you are trying to learn as you go it's literally impossible. So yeah, sticking to writing as while no one will read it at least I know how to do it and it and I actually have a hope of finishing a project I give the faintest fuck about.

With how ubiquitous college degrees have become, surely it isn't that difficult to lie about one when applying for a job? At worst, you just get denied or, if hired, fired, not including stuff where you need an actual accreditation like a CPA or JD, those have tangible fraud laws behind them, but anything else? Like an art or English or business degree? Surely it isn't difficult?
>>25002953What do you find enjoyable about it?
>>25002960nothing ventured, nothing gained
>>25002960Depends on the position and company but if it's some entry level bullshit then yeah, lying is probably fine as long as you are actually potentially competent.
>>25002880Organise your read and unread books. Then just start reading a book of your choosing. Been doing this since 2 years back. I'm barely halfway my backlog but its better than not reading at all.

>>25002834Goddamn why is all modern porn so soulless? I'm sure boomers felt the same way with their giant bushes black and white vignettes, but modern porn is just so corporate and sanitized. Everything is perfect. Every woman is empowered. None of it is real in any aspect, not that it ever was, but now it's been hollowed out and replaced with all these AI filters and intentional poses from women with that Prozac stare who could never possibly care about anything. I can't fap to that; some e-girl sitting in her pristine room in her gamer chair is just anathema of erections. She doesn't go out. You could never fuck her. The sheer gravity of her orbiting simpdom ensures that she has a steady stream of revenue and a constant ego boost. There is no audacity. No wink. No self consciousness. Just here, look at my jiggly lady bits and pay me for the privilege the same way I'd look at a butchered hog. They aren't self aware. Or maybe they're too self aware and aren't embarrassed. It's not risque. It's not private. It's not audacious. It's sanitized, the human element has been removed entirely. I don't even consider them human. Now Liz Vicious and Raven Riley? Those were the real ones. Felt like you could bump into them on the street.
>>25003094Ghost wars is excellent.Directorate S is OK.Coll's new book "Achilles trap" is excellent also
>>25003102Tldr but>modern pornLiz Vicious was active like 20 years ago lil bro.
https://youtu.be/Mh9ClI91K98
>>25003110Yes anon, that was my point. Liz Vicious is hot. Modern hoe 967236 built like a fertility godess? Not so much. Why? Well, she could be hot, but she doesn't exist in real life, and if she did, she'd be haughty, entitled, and cold. There's no narrative where you get to fuck and e thot.
>>25002994Ok, but why do you enjoy listening to YouTube compressed uploads of a vinyl record rip?
>this is what Liz looks like nowHahaha she's still really hot for 38 but she looks nothing like how she used to. She also had a kid at some point in her 30s. >>25003117The thing is anon that they do exist, but none of them are eligible. And they are often haughty and cold; either that or completely frivolous and unserious bordering on cold if that makes any sense. They give zero shits about chewing up and spitting out older men, but they love doing it. >>25003118Idk mannnnnnnnnnn.

I suspect the recent threat by Trump to ban institutional investor purchases of single family homes, if carried out, will do little to ameliorate the home ownershop crisis. I believe most properties bought and then rented out are owned by boomers, who see buying houses and renting them out as the natural way to make additonal money as they age. Younger generations are eager to do the same, viewing this as a strategy for passive income and financial freedom.

I miss the dense rock music of the 00s. I feel like nobody now listens to rock or has a tolerance for it anymore. Especially new stuff that would fit right alongside the like of American Idiot-era Green Day, Rise Against, or late-00s-era Foo Fighters (the song "The Pretender" comes to mind), for some reason.

there’s something to be said for complete degeneracy. i don’t know exactly how the law works here, if first time offenders really even get hard time, but i think it should basically be allowed to do every illegal drug you want and be drunk and disorderly for a 4 month to a year period of your life. because when you come back from that, you no longer want to, and you can properly appreciate the not-doing-that lifestyle. some forms of excess burn themselves out only if they’re fully lived through, not half-suppressed. let me see the bottom clearly, so i no longer fantasise about it.
>>25003450Very good as well. Lemme tell you the story in my own words.One day this dude sees a big ass tree. He turns to his bro and says "Holy fuck, see the girth on that bitch? Could make some fine paper if you catch my drift." His bro, a carpenter, sighs. "Motherfucker that is a shit bullshit tree. Fuck that useless bitch ass tree, it won't do anything because shit's fucked my guy."Later that night while carpenter bro was sleeping, the tree came to him in a dream and said: "You fucking faggot, the fuck you know about trees, stupid ass man bitch. If I was useful I'd have been chopped down, so I spent a long as motherfucking time learning to be exactly this useless. I won't be chopped, no motherfuckers gunna take my fruit or my branches, I get to live a kick ass life you fucking dick, fuck you."When the two bros were leaving, the first bro turns to the carpenter bro and says "That was a crazy ass faggot tree". Carpenter bro immediately back hands him across the face."Bitch, shut the fuck up about that tree, I never want to hear about it again."
Serbian students are dissatisfied with the state and its order, in essence they are dissatisfied that there is no longer a pronounced father figure in society. They see the solution to this in bringing back communism where a clear ideology, a sense of order and meaning is expressed... They want to repeat the sins of the father just to get to know him better.All this is bullshit.
>>25000762People are talking to you telepathically.
>>25003478Oh yeah I remember that. The lesson being that value is relative, is hard to forget. You gotta work on your storytelling skills tho, its too "expletive"
>>25003506Slightly different, that the value of perception is not the intrinsic value of the Dao, and being useless can actually be quite useful because freeing oneself from the preconceptions of ordinal utility allows you access to the universe in a way "useful" things miss in their shortsightedness. More or less right, the part afterwards is about the discombobulated man, a man so fucked everyone thinks he's useless and he doesn't need to fight wars, gets a stipend from the government, gets extra rations, and makes money on the side as a fortune teller. He is not useless at all, and he is intact more wealthy than useful people, but precisely because he's categorized as useless he has access to opportunities otherwise unavailable to useful people. And as to my story telling, I do what I wish.
>>25003521>Slightly different, that the value of perception is not the intrinsic value of the Dao, and being useless can actually be quite useful because freeing oneself from the preconceptions of ordinal utility allows you access to the universe in a way "useful" things miss in their shortsightedness.

You work for me, remember?!
>>25003532I was trying to get at the inherent openness of expectations allowing greater possibilities by being "empty", which is a big ol' Dao tangent I don't think you need. It's not the relative value, but the absence of perceived value gives you access to greater alternatives, Wu Wei style. You are right, but I feel that wrinkle is important. And if I work for you? Awesome, I'm cool with that. But oh no, it appears I have twisted my knee while working, I am glad you have liability insurance to cover my recovery.

ready?
>>25003679Yes.
To cleanse myself from gathered toxins throughout 2025 I'm going to start a week long fast, which includes a break from delightful pleasures such as this haunt. But know you will always be in my hearts my friends
Reading is like playing guitar. Sometimes, I just stop for a period of time. When I get back around to either, 3-5 weeks later, I think to myself, 'why did I stop? This is great.'This has happened for years. I have not found a way to break the cycle.
here’s my take - fasting is starvation, which naturally no human enjoys. it's problematic because when you use the word fasting you start associating it with something else. who says 'i starve 3 days a week/i starve for 24 hours to be healthy'? because everyone knows that starving isn't healthy.
Its astounding how stupid people are on this board. I weep for mankind
>>25004041Fasting induces feeling of moral superiority and cleanliness, along with an increased sense of spirituality and control. There's a reason why religions recommend it often.
>>25004067so do other dangerous illicit substances. acute stress can feel energising. feeling moral superiority under extreme deprivation doesn’t make deprivation healthy. it’s a last-ditch attempt from your body. if you cut your own head off you might get an adrenaline surge, but you oughtn’t do it.
>>25000633I understand that when liberals say to read books they mean leftist slop/biased pop-science/pop-history, but has reading literature deradicalised anyone?In fact, I'd go as far to claim literature made me far more radical as it exposed that modern morality is a constructed mythology made up in the last 50 years.
>>25004089I'm saying your idea that>>25004041>starvation, which naturally no human enjoys. Is false and evidenced to be false not just by religions all independently latching on to it (though maybe not to the extent of Jain monks) but also by a trip to any pro-ana forum. It's a natural response to extended deprivation that brings feeling of superiority, energy, and enlightenment. Humans do naturally enjoy being starved by themselves. It's why so many of them do it.
>>25004128think you’re confusing a predictable stress response with something humans ‘naturally enjoy’.religions also recommend celibacy, flagellation, martyrdom, etc.
>>25004143Hey now I enjoy a good flagellation as much as anyone. Maybe more.
>>25004145check you out
>>25004143And humans in general also claim to like those things. Even celibacy has a whole BDSM atheist following. You are just naming things humans have throughout history enjoyed, often even if they were criminal and so presumably socially frowned upon.
>>25004175fair play, maybe i’m just talking about normal, healthy humans.
i clicked the screenshot (power & volume) buttons too many times on my phone and it gave me that lock screen where you can call SOS if you want. i’ve had a few drinks so i just did it to see. the most beautiful middle england accent (f) picked up the phone and went ‘emergency service?’
>>25004246Basically. If you think about what humans fantasize about you wouldn't be including martyrdom in the list of things humans don't like imagining themselves as. Most people like to think they'd totally die for a cause if it were worthy of their life, and it's particularly common among teenagers.
>>25004274yet it’s clearly against what you naturally like. how many humans martyr themselves? we overwhelmingly act to preserve comfort, nourishment, warmth, and life.
>>25004288>how many humans martyr themselvesAll good parents.
>>25004288>yet it’s clearly against what you naturally likeI think you're using the wrong pronoun here. Humans can both like comfort and martyrdom. Most fantasy of martyrdom revolves around being unjustly oppressed, and if you think about the people who most regularly feel unjustly oppressed, a lot of them are too fat, warm, and well massaged to be martyred. Think about the westerners who go to fight in Ukraine or Al Qaeda, there are literally regiments of people who had Xboxes and Doritos at home and choose getting blown up for a cause. Martyrdom gives a sense of meaning that lets people endure many other discomforts and often even ignore reality. Humans are kind of dumb if you think about them for long at all.
>>25004300so very few
>>25004314does that make suffering itself natural or enjoyable? it’s still rare, aversive, and biologically resisted.
>>25004329It's not rare at all. Most armies are voluntary. Teenage fantasy of "if I killed myself they'd know how they wronged me" or parental complaints of "I gave my life and money and physical body for your ungrateful ass" abound. People believe they would be the guy who jumps in to save the drowning victim, and more people do the greater the audience, because it gives you social meaning as the good guy, even though basic water safety classes will teach you you basically never get in the water, you find some other way to get them out. That sense of social meaning makes the rescuer drown so often that they do include it in water safety classes>Do not get in the waterAnd people who take those classes still get in the water for social meaning despite all evidence to the contrary that they statistically are helping nobody
>>25004320>preserve comfort, nourishment, warmthPoint is all this serves life in the wider sense not your own personal life. Martyrs are as natural as eating and we see them all over the natural world. We all die so we all die for something, we die in the name of whatever we spent life on.

Since the accident, the thought gets to me that you have never finished any book I've recommended, or outright gifted to you, despite your insistence and interest in the subject matter. Now it's one thing to claim you never had the time, but I find it beyond insulting when you say the book is outright lost. Did the car crash change you so much, dear friend? Because you can't seem to focus or care when it comes to my interests these days.
I think writers like Alex Perez are my least favourite active writers today. They just tweet non-stop about being active writers, but they don't actually do much of anything. Everything's a "hot take" or something about what other writers are doing wrong, but that they understand and don't themselves do (or else, if they do do it, they do it with style, so it's okay for them to break these rules). It's all so tiresome, man. Substack is filled with retards giving their thoughts on writing and politics. If that's what our industry is now, I hardly want anything to do with it.
When I let myself care I just get incredibly angry. Even when I'm productive and social I'm just distracting myself from the anger. Every facet of society on every level is working against everything I love including truth itself and human life in general. None of this is okay.
>>25003102Nice post.
Quaritch and Varang best characters in the new AvatarAt some point Quaritch says "I have no master" and it made me smileThe eiwa cultists can all die, the soulless corpo can also die.I just like cute and proud people
>>25000633I think this image is gay and sucks
>>25004671Flagellation sounds more appealing.
>>25004676oh, sorry

>>25004619Same here, man. Same here.
I am getting so tired of people playing dumb with pretending not to understand why everyone hates localizers.They are censors and liars who disrespect and destroy art from different cultures and constantly get caught pushing a extremely unpopular agenda in works that have nothing to do with such political agendas. Localization has always been garbage, and fans have always hated it. Worse yet they wrap up their art sabotage in the language of safetyism and political correctness while pretending they have a moral high ground when they never do.
>>25004826Can you give an example?
>>25004828Recently that popular horse girl game got a anime. Over the holiday it had a Christmas special. Banner in the background says Marry ChristmasThe characters say in broken English "Merry Christmas"The localizers write in the subtitles "happy holidays". They change literally all written and spoken reference to Christmas as holidays or holiday season. These changes were only done to the English localization. Of corse this is a constant and ongoing issue that comes up over and over again over decades. From inserting totally out of the blue and out of character feminist rants in a localization that wasn't in the original. All the way to the bad edits of the 4kids days (pic related). Localization has never been good, it's always been bullshit.
>>25004770it’s an incredibly vague image, but was orson welles once said he was anti-porn, ‘but this might be because’ he grew up in an age when it meant ‘polaroids of hairy men still in their socks’
>>25004848Yeah that's pretty bad.
i haven't posted on /lit/ since december, not on purpose this site just sucks that bad now, can't really get into any of these shitty threads.
>>25000633What is this picture from?P.S. FUCK this new captcha
>>25004921it's from some german movie about leftwing terrorists in the 70s or some shit. if u image search it it'll probably come up i don't care that much rn
>>25003475The only way to turly put a stop to illegal controlled substance use is to make them all legal and then slowly regularize the industry for several decades or so, then clamp down.For this to work you would probably need it to happen simultaneously globally.The U.S really fucked itself by supporting the drug trade to own the soviets.

>>25004934the problem with modern life is that people hover in a chronic low-grade degeneracy: a bit drunk every weekend, a bit chemically assisted, a bit numbed, a bit transgressive - never enough to exhaust the appetite. the desire never completes its arc. it just lingers.i think historically societies did allow this… ritually. soul-shaking rites of passage. never mind the politics, we lost the container, not the impulse.
>>25004946>michael fassbenderlol did u get that from an ai? it's by rainer werner fassbinder
>>25004958would AI make that mistake? he prob just remembered wrong.
>>25004958oh sorry, it's been many, many years, idk, I've never seen anything else by the director. You're right, I should have double checked before spreading misinfo.and I've never use AI in my life
Who could have believed, before Columbus, that a huge ocean could be crossed more peacefully and safely than the narrow expanse of the Adriatic or the Baltic Sea, or the English Channel? . . . Provide ships or sails adapted to the heavenly breezes, and there will be some who will not fear even that void of interplanetary space. So for those who will come shortly to attempt this journey, let us establish the astronomy. From Keplers Somnium
>>25004999Kepler got me to reconsider religion and stop being stemlocked. Love this dude.
not sure if I'm actually bisexual or just too lonely to care
>>25005024something very stupid and banal about him.
I just saw a beautiful girl having sex (online), and I ejaculated to it, and now I feel a strong sense of despair. Probably this is a common thing. But my reason for this despair is probably different from most. I don't really want to fuck the girl. It's more like, it all feels so pointless. Such a beautiful woman, whose beauty only exists for her to suck dick, and for that film to be cut up into little clips so lonely guys can goon to it. And yeah, it was a black guy. I'm not saying there are no blacks who deserve to get sucked off by a gorgeous white woman, but there's almost none. Kanye can have a pass.Is it crazy that this depressed me? We all grew up seeing beautiful princesses in Disney movies, only for the actual beautiful women in real life to just be whores. It sucks
>>25005077You're undervaluing the spiritual value of sex.
>>25005077respect for giving ye the pass (though i’m sure he’d dislike the idea of you giving it). i can count on one hand the number of porn vids i’ve seen with a black guy. never thought about it but i guess that’s a matter of market demand (unless it’s a blacked fetish thing).i love blowjobs more than life but i’ve never expected it from a girl i love, someone i’m in a relationship with, feel like you can’t want it from a girl you really respect.
>>25005077Not all beautiful women are whores. Whores online are whores. If you go online looking for whores to spank it to, don't be upset when you find them. My issue is the performative nature. They aren't shameful, they aren't excited, they're manufactured.
>>25005088The spiritual value of sex is just control. Control someone's basic drives control the person.
>>25005066That's only because you're an idiot. This would be obvious from your post even if I didn't know who you're referring to. He did most of the work attributed to Newton.
With the imminent graduation of my youngest brother, my parents' once-lively house is soon to become silent. The abode of a thirty-year subaltern of collegiate language professorship and his once-young wife, the once-messy childrens' bedrooms now carefully arrayed and kept clean and opened twice a year. I feel that the older I grow, the more I am aware of the magnitude of the burden I placed on my mother and father as a child, and my father's figure, once the solid oak of authority in the field of childhood figures, becomes ever so forlorn, the lines worn across his face something of an accusation. I love them dearly, and it is only now that I can see the burdens they patiently bore, year after year, to rear my siblings and I with patience and love rather than harsh words and frosty silence.
>>25005099Quaint. Sure, for weak or vulnerable people. Controling someone desperate to be controlled is like beating your brother in Tekken because he doesn't understand how to block. Now convincing people to follow you willingly and to have them give you things in return for the privilege, now that is the apex. Even better is convincing hostile people your ideas are their without their consent.
>>25005099sigh, I hope you understand it someday, anon. It's also a way to show love and achieve mutual ecstasy. It's not always base.
>>25005103<3Godbless, anon.
>>25004956You are wrong to ascribe this to modern life. Vice, to call it something, is a human universal, in so far as it is availiable; peasants, for example, live and lived completely steeped in vice. Read any account about life in the past and you'll find substance abuse was just as common.
>>25005098It really hits different when the whore is actually beautiful. Like, you can tell just by the way she moves her body that she's genuinely a beautiful woman from a good household, with a father who probably raised her right, and yet there's still a video of her sucking dick on the internet. I can get off to it I really can, but the depression hits hard after.
>>25005121The problem is men.
I am reading Thomas Paine's Common Sense and after going through three paragraphs about seperating church and state i say to myself wow yt really had some thoughts wow these were no mere platitudes, these were crystal palaces of thoughts burning with the midnight oil inscribed into the letters of a lunatic. wow yt was so deep. wow 1776 was swimming inside the ocean of his mind. each word was like a breast stroke guided by the passion, the rhythm of a wagie's enlightenment. a wagie's enlightenment, i dare say, not the counterfeit wisdom of some dilatant mind thickened by the madness of war. Paine was fluid. An ugly man, but a fluid man.
>>25005121Nah who cares? A beautiful vase with a moldy sandwich inside is tainted, and a misshapen vase filled with gold will always have value. Don't expect a cracked vase to hold anything, no matter how beautiful, but you can absolutely admire it through glass for the craftsmanship.>>25005124Men are men. Women are a multitude of synchronous harpies perpetually comparing themselves to eachother and everyone else in some meager attempt at value extraction beyond their effort. Men smash good.
>>25005133We owe it to a complicated God who decided to create all of the world's problems out of a man's rib bone or something.
>>25005145Or because a man decided to listen to some dumb bitch talking to a snake instead of telling her to fuck off. Adam already did it with Lilith, should have done it again.
>>25005152They were still in unity with God when the separation happened so we as God decided snakes are cool. God reiterates many times in the Bible that snakes are cool. Deal with it faggot.
>>25005168Oh, I'm cool with snakes. Snakes are hella rad. Bitches? Eh, require some maintenance.
>>25005117yes and as i mentioned in the post you replied to, the ancients had a way of dealing with it: soul-shaking magical initiation rites. had they been born in some unmissionised african tribe they wouldn’t have suffered the same inhibitions. carnivals, saturnalia, rites of passage, military campaigns, pilgrimages. time-limited chaos, followed by reintegration. we’ve lost the container, not the impulse.
I think the part of me that is capable of true hate is dying, perhaps dead already. I hear and agree with a great deal of frightening rhetoric about hypergamy and Modern Women and so on, but my heart's not in it anymore. Some part of me believes that if I saw others as God might see them, with the accumulation of all the hurts and small pains and great wounds they have taken over their lives, I might understand why they act in the manner they do, that I would love them even if I found their actions abhorrent. I am quite capable of disgust and dismay and horror, yes, but hate seems too much to bear. What's the use? Isn't it so much easier to hate a sinner than to love? Hasn't the world had enough of the former already?
>>25005183Platitudinous and gay. Still like you, one day you'll fix your angst.
>>25005183Kill if you must, but never hate:Man is but grass and hate is blight,The sun will scorch you soon or late,Die wholesome then, since you must fight.Hate is a fear, and fear is rotThat cankers root and fruit alike,Fight cleanly then, hate not, fear not,Strike with no madness when you strike.Fever and fear distract the world,But calm be you though madmen shout,Through blazing fires of battle hurled,Hate not, strike, fear not, stare Death out!
>>25005191I just finished a 10 hour flight on which I read most of Myrer's Once an Eagle and the combination of jet lag and sentimentalism is making me try to steal his prose style. Please understand.

my local economy is run by a 100 year old evil thug who everyone likes because he's nice. the alternative is to work for the Israelis who've invested massive amounts into our town for reasons i don't understand. most of our economy is actually corn but i'm not a farmer.
