A frankenstein warrior with a spark plug in his brain that resets his logic and returns him to basic silence when shocked, instantly dispelling any false notions imposed and returning him to the supernatural natural state of equal retaliatory violent solution. Enemy - noise - fix/counterfix - silence. Suffers powerful arguments from educated evil, shuts it up with an internally silencing alien brainwave. A beneficial mutation, adaptation.

I‘m frustrated with the degree to which I am not in fact being better than my surroundings.

I gotta fix this and at least start doing foreign language media again. I think being in a long-term relationship made it easier to subdue my drives into focus on matters of substance but I just gotta roll loose with my own life right now.

I honestly think the Internet is over. Three decades or so is a good run but everything is rapidly decaying so fast due to the third worldification of all online spaces. Everything is spam, scams, AI slop, algorithmic-driven ragebait or thirst traps. It's all completely worthless.

My nadir was following commentary circles because the line between those and healthy lolcow entertainment is rather thin.

I‘ve also watched some true crime stuff my ex got me into. The Chris Hansen archives are fun if formulaic. And the "spooky" channels like Nexpo or whatever which get posted on /x/ periodically.

I also like some hunting and history videos but I exclude those from my ire because that‘s productive infotainment (which I don‘t utilize enough.)

Alright, real talk. I am a pretentious jackass with a degree in art history. Robocop is a genuinely fantastic movie, not just because a dude gets shot in the dick and the special effects are amazing, but the pacing, the camerawork and storyboarding, and the symbolism are top notch.

What did he say on the subject of feeling like there is little point in continuing to live because your life is unlikely to improve? It’s not something he addresses specifically as far as I recall? Like you of course have the whole section where Satan is in abject isolation and is musing about how he cannot escape his misery because it is self-created, and he will bring it with him wherever he goes, and this is a result of him aspiring to things above his station and being unwilling to repent. And then all of that stuff about God using things that seem terrible to us for our good in the end. That’s not particularly helpful to me, though, considering that I don’t believe in God.

Now fucking leave me alone.

He's like that because his brain has atrophied from being online all day. It's not his fault that his has trouble with social interaction. If you read the literature on loneliness, it's a fear response that's stuck on a loop because we've evolved to always be social and being alone was dangerous.

It’s like you’re jumping through hoops to explain why nothing is ever this person’s fault and why he has no responsibility for his actions. It’s infantilizing.

I’ve gone through periods of my life where I’ve been incredibly lonely and isolated, and yet it never occurred to me to begin hating men indiscriminately.

Thats all well and good but statistics say otherwise. Most hatred of women comes from overexposure not underexposure. Your average "incel" does not hate women as much as a socially adept playboy. Its just the latter is socialized enough to keep a lid on it.

the guy i read mentions that

>Poetry can imitate painting, and vice versa. Painting can imitate corporeal objects by resorting to the narration of the history of these bodies; painting can imitate actions by resorting to what Lessing calls "the most fecund moment" and "the most pregnant moment" of the action, that is, the one in which the figure in motion, subjected to the stillness of the spatial conditions of painting, is in a position that allows the spectator to guess the instant that precedes this moment and the one that follows it

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laokoon_(Lessing)
>>
>Lessing argues that painting is a synchronic, visual phenomenon, one of space that is immediately in its entirety understood and appreciated, while poetry (again, in its widest sense) is a diachronic art of the ear, one that depends on time to unfold itself for the reader's appreciation. He recommends that poetry and painting should not be confused, and that they are best practiced and appreciated "As two equitable friendly neighbouring states.

you see, poetry deals with sound, movement and time

while painting deals with space, it can suggest or imply movement, but it is a static instance
