I made a new thread for a very specific reason and I have forgotten what that reason was. My failure in linking the previous thread seems to have derailed me.
>>25250455The road in the photograph goes somewhere. It goes between two ditches all the way to some bare trees on the horizon. Someone in the Netherlands built those ditches carefully and the water has stayed where they put it.You used one > instead of two and now the previous thread doesn't go anywhere.The Dutch have been moving water around since the thirteenth century. They are very good at it. The water does what they ask. It reflects the sunset and stays in its ditch and doesn't cause any trouble.The link to the previous thread is gone the way a road goes when it gets dark and you are not on it anymore.There is a contrail in the sky above the polder. By now it has probably disappeared. Things disappear at different speeds. The contrail is already gone. The previous thread is still there but you can't get to it from here.One > instead of two.The ditches in the photograph are doing their job perfectly.
>>25250455yt / tiktok / tv / movie watchers are also fappers. They are emotionally unavailable.
>>25250466>You used one > instead of two and now the previous thread doesn't go anywhere.None of these threads go anywhere. Thanks for making me feel better about my failure.
Race is the default.
>>25250512The default is retarded. Literally, only retards settle for defaults.
>>25250514Still, race is the default.
>>25250517Yes, the default is retarded. I never disagreed with that and it did not need to be explicitly stated. Retarded?
>>25250521Okay so I'm gonna be honest with you guys, and I say this as someone who has spent a LOT of time around very smart people, the smartest people, my whole life basically -- this "race is the default" thing is the kind of conversation that happens when guys have too much time and not enough to do. Get a hobby. Shoot something. I just got back from an incredible elk hunt in Montana, unbelievable country, and I promise you nobody out there is having this conversation. The default is waking up at 4am and getting it done. That's the default. Incredible thread though, really. Dad would love this.
>>25250523>my personal subjective experience is objectiveRetarded?
I hope everyone travelling to see the World Cup experiences detention hell. It would be so funny.
>>25250541The World Cup. Is that baseball?
>>25250547Basedball, I think. Not much for sports.
>>25250557It is soccer. They kick a ball into a net and then they cry and then the other team kicks a ball into a net and then they cry and then everybody goes home and cries. I know a lot about sports. My best friend Patrick watches sports sometimes. He says the important part is the crying.
>>25250563lol.
>>25250457>failure editionlol>>25250455thinking about that part in St Ides Heaven by Elliott Smith where he goes "high on amphetamines/the moon is a lightbulb breaking" fucking love that song
>>25250612I've never really gotten Elliot Smith but have a friend who loves him so I will listen to that after I finish listening to https://youtu.be/jO0Sxm5hQ2kI do want to better understand him, he is a good friend despite his faults.
Anyone fucking hate how CURRENT THING focused this site is? If this site was a person, it would be a child bouncing off the walls whining about wanting every toy they see on the TV.
>>25250623An anon in some other thread called /lit/ pop/pol/, I find it difficult to refute him.
>>25250623In comparison to what lol. No, not really.>>25250523Retarded babble
>>25250625/pol/ basically won and has influence on just about every board
>>252506402016 really changed this place. I'm an oldfag and I remember board culture in the early 2010s. Different vibe, less politics
>>25250640They don't really have influence, 4chan is just dead. Influence suggests they have an effect and make a difference. >>25250646I miss pre2016 /lit/ more than anything, /write/ culture here was like nothing else.
>>25250646i started using 4chan in 2016 (maybe 2015, i don't really remember) but not for meme war stuff. actually /lit/ was the first board i came to. it was basically the same as it is now i think? i guess there were a lot more 'serious' threads and people generally were less light hearted, but now it feels like the board is only le serious when they want to talk about political shit. and threads that used to be serious are now memes with maybe 1 or 2 serious people sperging over the debasing
>>25250659>it was basically the same as it is now i think?Yeah, it is, been shit since then.
it's not that deep, you get a girlfriend and move on and suddenly this is a shit place to be
>>25250659I started using /lit/ around 2011 or 12 -- I remember it being more "serious" too, but looking back maybe that was an artifact of it being a new board without much culture at that point. It's much more shitflingy/meme-filled now. My friends IRL don't believe me but for a while it was the best (and really only) place on the internet to talk about books. Then Twitter took off, reddit, etc. There's a lot more in-jokes and humor now, which I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate, but I'd also like it if there were less spergfights and more literary discussion. We should be the change we want to see on the board, anon
>>25250679It was never all that serious but it was lit and knew how to have fun.
>>25250640It's fucking exhausting how some fucker starts a thread about Dosto, Tolstoy, Houllecbecq or whoever and inserts a question about women, inceldom or race. An obvious bait and yet the thread devolves into a meaningless fight. But I hate even more the fuckers that post a book cover and ask: "What should I think of this book?". What about you reading it and telling us something about, motherfucker. I won't even talk about frog posters....
Trying to stay happy is hard. Life is one constant struggle isn't it? Until it's not I guess, God willing. Lord make the path straight before me.

Termites in the earth, they're looking up my skirt.
>>25250669normie mindset
>>25250707Termites don't care.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to fall asleep in order to go to church tomorrow. I do want to go to church though, despite what happened last week. I'm also trying to develop a mindset of doing things even if I don't feel like doing them. This is the life of a depressed & constantly worried anon trying to get his shit together long after he should have already.
>>25250709lots of people are quite fickle dontcha know
>>25250713Yeah I do know. Too many.
https://youtu.be/Vs2g3m-VvSc
>>25250716lol.
https://youtu.be/hPC2Fp7IT7o
>>25250712I'm going to church on little sleep too. I drank a few cups of coffee, and I'm still up with 6 hours before my alarm goes off. But the shower usually energizes me.
>>25250455Looks like Delta BChttps://youtu.be/jZCEiuyMai8https://youtu.be/JTINJXkkdkE
>>25250712Instead of going to church, why not try doing something productive? Exercise, read/study, learn an instrument. Something real that will actually improve your self worth and identity.
>>25250723t. Screwtape
>>25250721I still need a shower. I have shit I need to do tomorrow after church anyways. The thing is, I like going for a walk after church along this very specific route and if I go to church I'm going to feel compelled to take this walk afterwards because otherwise I'll feel like the trek out to church (it's like 45 mins away by bus) isn't worth it; if I go to church and then go straight home I'm going to miss out on that, yet I know if I do indeed do that I'm probably going to fall the fuck asleep right away upon getting home and not get my shit done. One more thing is that if I don't go I'll feel like I might disappoint this girl I'm interested in whom I'm talking to, idk why but I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I unloaded on her somewhat about the incident at church last week. So idk. Still might go regardless, but it'll mean running on little sleep. Good thing I got up today at 4pm I guess. CURRENTLY LISTENING: https://youtu.be/_RrA-R5VHQs
>not even 30 yet>already starting to get grey hairs on the sidesWhat the fuck? I don't even drink or smoke or live a super high cortisol lifestyle.
>>25250731I got grey hairs when I was like 12. It's just random.
>>25250722It is generic farm country in the spring time, doesn't look anything like a delta but at least it doesn't feature Amy Lee, which is generic in an entirely different way. >>25250731None of those things have anything to do with getting grey. I have had white hairs since I was 20 and they have yet to amount to anything even after 20 years.
i see you've played h20, xyz before...
>>25250737Don't insult Amy Lee like that.
>>25250740Her success is built on being "great" in the most generic way possible. She understands this even if you don't.
>>25250743>in the most generic way possibleYou mean her amazing voice and musical talent, not to mention her surpassing physical beauty?
>>25250747lol. I almost replied seriously before I looked at the photo. https://youtu.be/ytj4krSPdP4
