Just woke up from a dream where my eyes were rotten like eggs.

The proper way to wash your hands is to first wet your hands with water then apply soap and lather for at least twenty seconds and finally rinse thoroughly.

I keep spacing out with my gaze on someone, lost in thought, only to have them turn and look right at me and catch me staring. It's not even that I'm trying to watch them, when I think in public, I like to look up, and my eyes are naturally drawn to people.

Thinking I need to give The Screwtape Letters a read sometime soon.

I rubbed a bit οf toothpaste in my nostrils so I could eat my girl out and this shit still stings 2 hours later

CK3 ? Is that a rapper or something?

after an 8 year streak of not reading a single book, i'm on month 3 of reading obsessively, all lit fic. I've found that I read slower and less engaged during the beginnings of novels while I get used to the author's style and try to remember characters and shit. I'm trying to tackle that by reading only short stories for a while. I'm reading 5 short stories books at the same time and desu I'm having way more fun doing this than just reading 1 novel at a time.

>Bad Behavior - Mary Gaitskill

I'm having a great time with the first 4, but the Honor Levy book isn't doing anything for me. If I'd known she was a dimes square affiliate I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I guess I'll finish it anyway just to see the current state of this type of net-art lit thing

does it really matter what you name characters? for me as a reader i’d say no, once i get used to them. but i picked some names on a whim in the piece i’m writing and now i’m attached, any other name sounds wrong, except they don’t really fit the ‘scene’ they’re living in.

>>25095598
Different names have their own music, connotation, and tone. Look at the names Pynchon chooses for his novels. Perhaps an extreme example, but you get the idea.

>>25095603
what’s your name?

What would you guys do in this scenario I witnessed at the library: every so often, there will be a crazy guy in the section I like to read in (the Fiction section), where there's other people doing their homework or whatever. The one today was behaving aggressively to whoever looked his way, cussing them out, threatening to beat them up. He called one girl a bitch. If you were that girl's boyfriend, what would you do? Most would probably immediately say "oh, you stand up for her!" but the problem is a) these people who act crazy and aggressive in public like this, you don't know how they're respond, especially since they both have nothing to lose and have no sense of consequence, they could end up stabbing you or worse, and b) even if you somehow manage to not get your asskicked, brain damage, facial disfiguration, you'd be risking getting banned from the library for getting into an altercation, and for what? Totally not worth it.

Of course, all men want to stand up for their women. I'm just saying, if I were that guy, and the crazy guy accosted my girl, I really don't know what I do, because it seems like a lose-lose. Plus, the guy beats your face in, your girl leaves you for being disfigured anyway lol.

I finally figured out what caused me to radicalize before everyone else on earth did, getting exposed to the 24 news cycle as a teenager in the 90s and the influence of Rush Limbaugh and other shock jocks by my father. MTV was banned in my house so I tuned into CNN and such back then reading US News And World Report in sophomore year in social studies class
I became aware of Waco, the Bosnian War, etc from an early age, plus I was a geography nut. I was on alt.conspiracy back in the day, too.

My friend/ex-boss crush sometimes visits me at work. She often asks if I'm working that day and "acts disappointed" if I say I'm not, but if I am there she heads down after she finishes her work and hangs around til I finish. This time I asked her if she wanted to join me for icecream as we were getting into our cars. She agreed without hesitation and we ended up hanging out at the icecream shop for 2 hours and another hour in the carpark. We just talked about stuff. Laughed a bit but didn't really flirt imo like how we normally flirted when we worked together.

Btw the snake around your neck is probably your dad's (bigger) dick, and stepping over telling me about your mother is a schizophrenic move to deflect from castration anxiety

Freudians and post Freudians write a lot of fun books. Charcot has better pictures, but Freud did a good diagram

>>25095952
Though I guess castration anxiety is as good an explanation as any for why 'penis theft' is such a common motif in witcraft stories across culturl and geographic barriers.
It even cropped up during the Witch hysterias of 16th and 17t century europe. Though there the belief was that they'd turn the penis invisible.

>>25095974
Dick shrinking through others malevolent thoughts is still a couple culture bound syndromes.
Castration anxiety goes back much further in the western imagination, both from reality and anxiety. That's why most people connect Freud with the Greek myth of Oedipus.
>>25095284 is also having a classic Oedipal dream, with Freud viewing the moment of catharsis in Oedipus to be when "the audience feels as though their own eyes had been taken from them"

>>25095537

That is not a bad thing, 3/4 of what you need to know to understand the rest is in that first 1/4, you miss that and you are fucked. The less engaged aspect is not great, but shorter works will not help that, shorter works exploit that they don't have to keep the reader engaged for very long.

Weird how uneventful the first 3.5 billion years of life was until the ancestors of things that are still around developed. Just bacteria being bacteria.

On another note, I saw a gif of how bacteria proliferate in an ideal environment and the exponential spread unironically spooked me visually. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, woah, fuck, the entire screen is full of bacteria!

>>25095979

Can you elaborate on that?

>>25095996
Freud on The Uncanny (Das Unheimliche) is what you want. It's basically an essay on how eyes in dreams are also dicks, so things like using eyes to ward off evil or being given the evil eye in real life are collective fantasies which stem from that kind of castration anxiety. You might need some German because Unheimliche (uncanny, creepy, sinister) sounds like it should be near Heimlich (secretive/sly/hidden), and Freud likes a folk etymology or misheard lyric more than a boring well sourced one. It's not that long, and besides the German wordplay, pretty straightforward

Since last week I now have 2 children.
I used to be able to squeeze in a fuck twice a week, once minimum.
But now I'm having trouble imagining how we're going to find the opportunity.

Yea but even still, it feels like I need to have a momentum I need to build up. The only problem is the starting, the rest becomes easier.

>He also told us about one time they tested some anti-riot laser on a CO and the guy had a heart attack.
Not sure, what to make of this.

Anyone else only able to write on a computer and not by hand? At least for serious, artistic writing. It's odd, I can only hear and feel the music of the words when I'm using a keyboard. Perhaps it's the forgiving nature, the ability to edit your work at any moment, whereas writing on paper has a sense of permanence, you have to think out every word, sentence, and line beforehand. I don't like that.

Anyway this means I need to get myself a cheap laptop, something that's good enough to run Microsoft Word/LibreOffice, and that's all. Hopefully it can be had for $50? Maybe $100? I'm sure someone here has a dusty old laptop they don't use anymore that they wouldn't miss.

I feel you. That's one of the eternal struggles in life, knowing what's good for you and ought to be done, yet for some reason being unable to take immediately take action. All I can say is it's a matter of habit. The sooner you start taking action on these matters, the more often you'll be able to in the future, and so on, until you'll be the kind of efficient, diligent you've always admired and wish yourself to be. In other words, take the step, then another, then another. It's like exercise. Developing the habit of the routine is the hardest part, then once you've got it down, you'll start feeling restless and like you're doing something wrong when you don't do it.

I have never felt an emotional connection to anything. I have never developed an ambition or a skill or even a hobby. I don't accumulate anything from my inner or outer experiences because I don't feel anything. I am a vacant and empty person and all that effort can beget me is a thicket of pain and exhaustion. I am unable to be authentically present in any way but I still feel compelled to maintain peaceful relations and politeness with others at all times. Terrifying is the scenario that such artificial cordiality will attract someone naive enough to feel attached to me, a person who isn't really there. I am fighting for nothing.
I only have clarity in planning to end my life. I am aware that you remind yourself that one quiet day you will probably be greeted by the police who will tell you that your son is dead. This I will not be around to regret. I am sorry mom. I don't know what else to say to you or the world for my being here except that I am sorry. I am sorry.

>>25096304
yeah i think everyone’s felt that feel. then when you hit it you think it’s forever - but it isn’t.
i think it can just be explained as plain old ‘inspiration’. being unproductive until you aren’t. it’s not a a muscle to be trained like some people make out, it’s just the necessarily spontaneous nature of creative (or productive) energy. you can go months with nothing then do ten things in a flurry.

Yeah good point. Back when I was out of the habit of reading, I'd finish a whole page and realize I didn't comprehend any of it, my mind was drifting elsewhere and the function of scanning the page went auto-pilot. Now that I read a few hours every day that almost never happens, at least midway through a book, but during the early sections where new characters are popping up often I find myself pausing and realizing that I'm not actually registering who these characters are. Like I'll know that somebody named George showed up but I didn't process that he's the narrator's girlfriend's roommate or whatever. Was hoping that hitting a bunch of short stories would exercise that process but maybe not, eventually I'll just accept it lol.
In any case I think swapping out books between stories is a really fun way to read for now.

>>25096694
Its the era right after. Never really paid much attention to it cause I really only rewatched attitude era stuff when I was a kid

>>25096662
yeah pretty much every movie I watch I'm rolling my eyes constantly. I'm not a super well-versed movie buff or something, I just think movies tend to be shit. Obviously not all.

also about the tough love bit, getting constant validation/reassurance can feel phony. I don't want to present my friend with a problem I'm having and have them give me the response of least resistance just to because it's easy. I have a friend who reacts super negatively to any response that isn't "you are correct, other person bad", so negatively that I just stopped bothering giving her real advice, so has everybody else. Now she's a lifetime deep of interpreting social life completely wrong and is constantly misunderstanding shit and thinks she has perfect intuition. She's a total lost cause I think. If she got told more often that she's wrong and needs to re-evaluate the situation she'd be much better off, IMO

It pains me to be the only who recognize things that have importance when I see them in front of me, but if people knew what was important, they already wouldn’t be spending so much time with unimportant things; the fact that they already treat of unimportant things all the time should obviously tell me that they won’t realize what is important when I put them in front of what is important, otherwise they would have done it without me. To speak of things of importance is maybe of a lesser contribution to other’s lives compared to finding ways to show them what is important, and let them study those things then alone.

rape is bad, mm'kay?

>>25096696
No, I know from experience. The core of all violent revolutions is because men can't find a woman to empty their balls into. Every time. I've written about this countless times.

You see people here straight up admit that they got hurt by a women once when they were a kid and hate women forever now, but if you really can't put yourself in the mind of somebody being raped and realize that it's a terrible, life altering thing to do to somebody, or if you can and decide you want to do it anyway, you're brain is fried and you need to be put in a hospital. Most of those anons are too socially inept to even look another person in the eyes though, so it'll likely never happen anyway.

He's good but nothing great. His best known work Of Love and Hunger is enjoyable as a slangy roman a clef, but it's hardly perfect. His short stories are enjoyable. Very quick-witted, blunt prose.
But as a personality he was very interesting. He racked up debts like no tomorrow, stalked and tried to murder George Orwell's ex-wife, and died quite young, only to fall into relative obscurity.
I'd recommend his writing if you're interested in inter-war British literature or literature about down and outs.

My timing of heading home on the bus when the local CC gets out from classes paid off, some young qt gave me the most attractive smile as she got off the bus. Of course, I've lost all ability to make small talk and any pretention of game, so this isn't gonna progress anywhere, and if anything I'll have to avoid that particular time from now on so I don't run into her again and thus feel the pressure to approach and not blow it, but nice to feel not only wanted but wanted enough to where a qt is wiling to make her attraction known :)

Its an exaggeration lad, there's gaps between the deed.

I hate authors who have no love for writing.
For example, they do it to meet a quota, or a deadline. Authors who have a patreon, such as K.D Robertson. A haremlit author. Admittedly, yes I understand how such a genre would obviously be full of talentless, lifeless hacks, but you would think that after getting published over a dozen times, and even finishing a whole 8 book story, the guy would fucking learn something.

No. Such authors do NOT learn anything from their own experience. It's always the same with these assholes.

Exposition out the ass. Info-dumping left and right. The female characters are archetypes through and through, yet the protagonist is stoic in the most boring way possible.
The dialogue is as far from organic as dialogue can get. You might as well be reading a fucking bibliography.
And the smut. It's about as lifeless as a corpse and just as appealing.
Only a fucking Necrophiliac could enjoy this kind of shit.

And if you try to tell this asshole what is holding his popularity back, he shits and pisses his pants on the spot.

Pathetic. No wonder the guy's got such a small audience while other authors, who make the same slop are breaking out among gooners.

I can't fucking wait for AI to replace these dumb assholes. They deserve it. Truly, they do. Lazy writing belongs in the fucking trash.

It's incredible seeing the edits you make. Seeing how an entire page was rewritten. When you delete, the words are gone. You can't see the night and day difference between drafts. Writing by hand does unlock a different part of your brain. But mostly I do it so I can write on the train or during night shifts without bringing my laptop everywhere like a gooner.

Can I ask you when it started and your age now? Not the same triggers for me but I also remember old dreams spontaneously. I think it became more pronounced after I started using delta-8 a few years ago, and it continued after I quit. Though I have some biochemical ideas I have not found a technical explanation for it, only anecdotal and spiritual discussion, hence my curiosity about your case!

>>25097632
Happens to me too. It's always one or two specific dreams which get replaced by new ones periodically (every two years or so). Like you I can't remember the dreams outside of cumming either, save for the latest one because I got reminded of it so many times recently. I think there is a common theme to the dreams, they always originally involved a very intense feeling towards something familiar, like longing for my childhood environment, or a goal I intensely wanted to achieve at some point in my life.
Eerie as fuck but I'm glad there are still connections to make with total internet strangers.

Admiteddly I'm not a physicist but a lot of the more esoteric aspects of cutting edge physics seems to be about trying to fix holes in old theories or dealing with the implications of theories that explain some things but which must also be considered to apply to things they clearly weren't intended to explain if they are to be taken seriously at all. Like physicists are fighting with their theories more than they are fighting with the observable universe itself.

Gross.

Ok, incredibly embarrassing from the guy to say that, but also, obviously you're overbearing and he has other friends.

Speaking of friends, holy fuck I wish had some. Life is a terrible thing.

I'm starting to feel like contemporary culture is just fundamentally antagonistic to art, and a lot of people who claim to like games, music, and film actually really fucking hate it.

Lesson to not waste time on retards with no substance anon. People like that wake up in their fifties and wonder why they have no friends.

I used to wonder why golden ages in societies are historically so short, like why the works of one century will be leaps and bounds above the works of that same place in neighboring centuries, like in Rome or Spain or the Netherlands and so on. But you realize that in societies on the decline, there is an all-pervasive air of mediocrity that suffocates everyone exposed to it, and most people do not realize they are being suffocated, they do not realize how much better things should be.

How is that gross?

I absοlutely LOATH having a female boss, especially when she's attractive.

>>25095162
this is ridiculous.
relationship was abandoned and despair was engaged all at once ending with a hookup followed by a night in jail and a pathetic attempt to tear my wrist out.
but here i am fostering a love with a woman who clearly has the symptoms of avoidance while another is fostering a hopeless love for me when i have made it abundantly clear i was not interested-and of course after clear repeated statements i have given in and fucked the life out of her. all the while she admits to me a mutual friend has expressed strong interest in her while she has done my moves for him.
what a mess.
of course, i am the fiend here.

Every time I wonder If I should kill myself I remember that the only reason life seems miserable is because everyone else did give up on life and take out their resentment on the rest of society.

So I just live out of spite honestly. I enjoy myself always, focus on myself, I ask people retarded questions until I understand stuff, I am a based retard, everyone is idiotic, everyone is a failure, but don't laugh at that, that would be just blending in, rather have a good life by being good yourself, to yourself, if people are mad, are aggressive or mock you, you can safely ignore them and categorize them and put them in this grand basket that is the mad world. Good souls will be few and sparse, but it's ok once you become your own best source of pleasure and vitality.

What does a strong and happy man do in the face of inflicted suffering? He keeps his dignity high, categorize every torturer as some kind of mad beast, and once back on his feet, free, he chooses to simply live his life, free. All the events of your life you described, how can you let them define you? don't let them, but don't repurpose them either, to fuel some desire of vengeance, such a flame won't last, just forget them as a fuzzy dream, I can barely remember what happened to me 2 years ago, and these old things can't make me happy nor sad, I have to continue to work on myself and live freely everyday to keep my happiness, it just starts when you decide.

Anon, I don't know you, and this will probably therefore come as dishonest, but I'll tell you this anyway if only to tell myself: Anon, I want you to live. Anon, live. Anon, please live.

The only reason people are bitter and mellow and sad is because they are hesitant to call life worth living, hesitant to promote themselves as masters, hesitant to say that they are worth more than anyone else to themselves. Once you declare that life is worth living, that you ought only to live for yourself, to reach your satisfaction, a drive, desire to create, curiosity, positivity, strength of mind which leads to strength of body, resolution, good spirit, typically all follow from that naive but true declaration.

Is there any actual proof of the unconscious mind? How can you actually prove such a thing when you, by definition, can’t become aware of it. It just seems like an excuse people can use to say I didn’t do x bad thing it was my unconscious mind that made me do it. Also, and this is from personal experience it makes you feel like you’re not in control of your actions which is really distressing and makes knowing yourself impossible.

Western civilization doesn't exist anymore.

Are we all just glοbal now?

Yeah. It's over.

Just found this passage of Vargas Llosa succintly btfoing hardcore lolberts and I wanted to share it
>There are liberals, for example, who believe that the economy is the realm where all problems are resolved and that the free market is the panacea that fixes everything from poverty to unemployment, marginalization, and social exclusion.
>These liberals, true living logarithms, have at times done more damage to the cause of liberty than the Marxists themselves—the first propagators of that absurd thesis according to which the economy is the engine of the history of nations and the foundation of civilization.
>It is not true. What differentiates civilization from barbarism are ideas and culture, rather than the economy. The latter, on its own, without the underpinning of the former, may produce optimal results on paper, but it does not give meaning to people’s lives; nor does it offer them reasons to resist adversity and feel solidarity and compassion, nor does it allow them to live in an environment imbued with humanity.
>It is culture—a body of shared ideas, beliefs, and customs, among which, of course, religion may be included—that provides warmth to and breathes life into democracy. It is what allows the market economy, with its competitive nature and its cold mathematics of rewards for success and punishments for failure, not to degenerate into a Darwinian battle in which—to use Isaiah Berlin's phrase—'the wolves eat all the lambs.'
>The free market is the best mechanism that exists for producing wealth, and, when well-complemented by other institutions and practices of democratic culture, it propels the material progress of a nation toward the dizzying advancements we know today.
>But it is also a relentless mechanism that, without the spiritual and intellectual dimension represented by culture, can reduce life to a fierce and selfish struggle in which only the strongest survive
