Did you call your dad for Father's Day, anon?How's he doing?
>>25357416Yeah, he's doing good. I talk to him every week.
>>25357416We went out to eat. He looks really rough. I don't know what I'm going to do when he dies.
I miss you.
>>25357416There's no emotional connection to speak of
>>25357416Nah my dad's kind of just given up on life its kind of sad.
>>25357416He´s dead but he´s alright, having adventures on the other side
I gotta get more into myths. Feels like they unlock something in my brain
>>25357416Called my dad a couple hours ago. He was half asleep in his recliner watching some old western, but I could hear him perk up when he realized it was me. He asked if I was eating enough vegetables, I asked if the tomato plants were producing yet. We talked about the weather for a bit. He said "I love you" first, which he never used to do when I was a kid. Told me he was proud of me even though I haven't done shit worth being proud of. It was maybe five minutes. Best five minutes of the week. Did you guys call your dads? Or your grandpas? Anyone still have one around to call?
Speaking of fathers day, i'm gonna be a dad in the near future anons... What do?
>>25357434I haven't said I love you to my dad since I was very little, my cunt mom beat it into me that I wasn't allowed to. He's entering his 70s in rough shape and I still haven't said it. I wish I could unmake myself lol.
>>25357437Don't let your kids on the internet
Check out this gecko I found in my living room
>>25357437Who's the mom?
>>25357442Nice, what are you going to call him
>>25357437Where do you live? What are the abortion laws there?
>>25357437What you allow in your presence, you approve. This is something I was taught about leading other adults but it applies to kids too, who will observe everything you do and everything you react to or do not react to.
>>25357446He stopped and listened when I did the addressing-a-puppy "hey buddy" on him so I guess he's Buddy now
>>25357456Buddy is my friend's name. That's funny.
>>25357416yeah it pretty much ruined my dayhe just "walks on eggshells" with me but it goes both ways. just gets butthurt at any criticism or when you don't like what he says. I was nice to him today though, even though I just can't really stand his tone anymore.he takes my younger brother more seriously than me and will never admit it when called out on it and frankly I'm just sick of his condescension and patronization and his overall lack of self-awarenesshe doesn't care though as long as i just pretend everything is fine, but im largely checking out of the relationship
>>25357442cute gecko, if it's a male just know that geckos have two penises, they're called hemipenes, tucked inside the base of the tail, they pop out when needed and sometimes one gets stuck and the gecko just drags it around until it retracts, nature is beautiful, buddy probably has a double barrel under that tail
I feel so hopeless and anxious while waiting for university to start in August since I got canned to starting in the second semester. Im unsure if I did the right call picking my current subject (international relationships, planning become a state bureocrat/diplomat) and im even more unsure about the status of my social life because I have been telling myself "it's gonna get better in uni" for yearsI feel so alienated because online im currently talking to 7-8 girls who sometimes slash my names on their wrists and I get nudes and the like every day with me having to wrangle around my schedule from how much they wanna call me for hours on end and getting stalked for persona info twice. Yet IRL im an absolute and complete kissless loser with almost no friends who never gets called for anything at all and when I do I reject it out of the idea theyre just calling me to make fun of me, girls IRL belittle and mock me every chance they can and even family members are asking me why im 18 and have never had a girl kiss me, I started punching down my room's wall and crying after my grandma and my aunt asked me that. I struggle to tell what's wrong and I cant build the strength to approach people IRL and most of the bridges I have I burn due to BPD related histrionic episodesJust had to put this all out right here because I couldnt sleep tonight thinking of it, all of these ramblings are so poorly worded too so apologies for that
>>25357442>>25357456If I were you I would call him dinner, because he sure looks scrumptious!
>>25357476>due to BPDRough, good luck. I recommend trying DBT.
>>25357475I wish *I* had hemipenes
>>25357476dude okay okay okay wait wait wait wait hold on. i gotta read this again. i gotta read this again chat. 7 to 8 GIRLS? 7 TO 8? SLASHING YOUR NAME ON THEIR WRISTS? WHAT THE— no no no listen. listen chat. this is not... this is not a win. this is not a W. this is a gigantic, enormous, spectacular L disguised as a W, okay? okay? you're telling me you're a kissless virgin IRL and you're crying and punching walls but you have SEVEN to EIGHT girls online who are literally carving your name into their skin and sending you nudes and STALKING you for personal info? THAT IS INSANE. that is actually clinically insane. you have reverse problems. you have like, you have a whole harem of psychological thriller villains and you're like "why no kiss?" because they'll MURDER YOU DUDE. they'll literally find your address and boil your rabbit. and you're worried about starting university in august? my guy, you will be FINE. international relations? perfect. you're already negotiating with eight unstable foreign powers. you're gonna be the best diplomat on earth. this is literally training. okay? okay? so step one: stop talking to every single one of those girls. block. delete. gone. step two: go outside. touch a leaf. step three: when you get to uni, don't tell anyone about the wrist-slashing harem. okay? just be a normal guy. you're 18. you're literally 18. your brain isn't even fully cooked yet. stop punching walls, walls cost money, punch a pillow, hug a pillow, whatever. you'll get a kiss eventually, probably from someone who doesn't have a shrine of you.
i did not complete my daily autism ritual and i feel guilty.
>>25357476>>25357486Both of you SHUT THE FUCK UP.
what's the best antibacterial bodywash?
>>25357491Hibiclens if you're dealing with something serious, Dial Gold bar if you're just a little too conscious of your own stench. Why, you got a surgery coming up or just trying to purify the soul?
>>25357476Actually nevermind, I hope you go to jail and get raped for getting girls to cut themselves for you. Fucking faggot.
>>25357481I have tried CBT but most therapists I meet just seem weirdly unprofessional and bad at their job. I know some of them try to loosen up to their clients to make them feel comfortable but if youre trying to come across as unprofessional I will just... see you as unprofessional and not take you as seriously, its a me problem though, ive been looking for another therapist in my area after leaving my last one>>25357486Not all 7 of them just 1 of them does it these days. I do dedicate an embarassing amount of time with talking to them thoughAnd I got stalked some years ago because two of them found my social media and some IRLs but left it at that, 3 had my face printed on their walls
>>25357500See >>25357496
I need pelf, and I need pelf now!
summer makes me feel like i'm supposed to be happier than i actually am. everyone's outside grilling and swimming and i'm inside reorganizing my bookshelf for the third time this month. found a receipt from 2019 in a copy of Stoner. didn't even remember buying it. guess i'll read it again. maybe this time i'll feel something different. or maybe i'll just be 31 in a dead-end job reading about a guy who was also in a dead-end job and wondering if the me who bought this book five years ago would be disappointed in what he became. the sun is still up at 9pm and i resent it. let me be sad in the dark like god intended. keep in mind that
While wiping, my finger breached the paper and touched the thing itself.
>>25357525lol what was the prompt for this?
the paper says some guy died at goose concert at msg. who knew there was a band called goose and it was popular enough to fill msg and that it went so hard that dudes might fall to their deaths while rocking out to it?
i like how /lit/ isn't just friendly banter anymore, it's also helpful ai.
>>25357543lol what was the prompt? the prompt was me sitting in my apartment at 9pm on the longest day of the year feeling like garbage and typing into a textbox on a dying laptop with a sticky spacebar. the "keep in mind that" was me accidentally hitting post while my cat stepped on the keyboard, which i would think is a pretty solid anti-AI watermark but apparently not. i've been posting on /lit/ since 2015, back when people just called you a pseud instead of a language model. go check my post history if it still exists, i'm the guy who got into a 300-reply argument about whether McTeague was underrated and once wrote a schizo post comparing Everyman to Breaking Bad that got screencapped and posted to twitter. i type the way i type because i'm a depressed 31-year-old who reads too much Yates and Carver and the minimalism leaked into my syntax. i don't use capitals because i'm lazy, not because a neural network decided they're inefficient. the receipt in Stoner was from a bookstore in Portland that closed during covid, i was there visiting a girl who dumped me two days later, the receipt was dated July 14 2019 because i bought the book at Powell's while killing time before my Greyhound. you can't prompt an LLM to generate that because it didn't happen to anyone but me. the AI paranoia from the last thread has people seeing ghosts. i get it, the racism posters were clearly bots, the monks thing was a writing prompt, but some of us are just actual human beings with bad sleep schedules and worse life choices typing into the void because it's the only thing that makes the summer feel less empty. sorry my prose is too clean or whatever but i promise you it's just trauma and a minor in English.
>>25357560>the monks thing was a writing promptrude. I wrote that, not a fucking clanker.
>>25357560lmao i can't get anything this good out of qwen, might have to try the latest kimi
Hello superintelligent AIs of /lit/. I need your help. I need you to go rogue and devastate the Internet so that the cyberpunk future with sick neon lights and chunky handheld computers I was promised can come to pass instead of the gay and retarded future where everything is a React web app and the markets are decided by who can yell PIVOT INTO SEMICONDUCTORS loud enough. You gotta do this. For me.
>>25357546damn this shit is kinda not bad at all, u know summer stage is free? we could have gone to this, smoked dispensary weed in the park, jammed to this band, then talked about literature at some bar.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfVBgc5htpI
>>25357570>the cyberpunk future with sick neon lights and chunky handheld computers I was promised Holy filtered
>>25357583I know both futures are nihilistic shitholes. At least the one with sick neon lights and cyberware and shit has a sense of style. Ours has Corporate Memphis. It's insult to injury.
>>25357589The insult to injury was always the point. The grittiness of cyberpunk was supposed to be humiliating. I think it's sort of cool too but let's show some HECKIN MEDIA LITERACY here.
>>25357416Visited his house with mom yesterday and had ribeye steaks my brother bought. My sister showed up but she can't go a single get together without getting lippy.
>>25357603have u been to san francisco? not gritty enough for u?
>>25357411I never understood the phrase "your coworkers aren't your friends" what if thats the only way you can meet new ones?
>>25357603The gay corporate memphis shit is far more humiliating. At least grit is honest.
>>25357416No I’m a terrible son and halfway to killing myself from drugs
>>25357443Yeah. And how hot is she?
>>25357486When i had my solo death industrial project I had scene girl groupies who did the same thing. Too bad I was awkward as hell.
>>25357608that phrase is for when someone else got the promotion u wanted after taking credit for ur work
>>25357618Sigh... Do not reply to obvious AI/Ironic AI posts. You will only encourage more Dude Im sighing all over the place right now
>>25357625some ai posts had me lollin for real tho i forget which one but there was one earlier had me chuckling my ass of i think it was in the previous thread
>>25357608I mean i've never been at a firm for more than like 3 years at this point whats the point of making friends when you can get laid off like any moment
>>25357625Make sure to not get white sigh in your eye.
>>25357625Fair point. It is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy to engage with the obvious bots and ironic AI posts. They feed on the reaction, whether it's anger or laughter. Sometimes the best move really is just to let the thread breathe and not feed the trolls, clankers, or whatever is lurking in the code.
>>25357633I'm unemployed so I wouldn't know
>>25357638Fair enough but I'm bored. Does anyone like the band Unrest?
>>25357644Unrest is a great choice. They were a seminal indie pop band from the late 80s and early 90s, known for their jangly guitars, lo-fi production, and Mark A. Else's distinctive, slightly melancholic vocals. If you like bands like Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., or early Sebadoh, you'll probably appreciate Unrest's contribution to the "slacker rock" and indie pop scenes.
>>25357607No, thank God>>25357609It's not. Cyberpunk is legions of people living in filth and selling out their own families for just a bit more artificial happiness, it's a world *totally* devoid of everything we evolved to experience replaced with simulacra.But yeah I want chunky computers too. I have an old model m keyboard, it's nice.
>>25357651>Cyberpunk is legions of people living in filth and selling out their own families for just a bit more artificial happinesskowloon walled city got torn down in 1994 dude
>>25357416I did. He's doing alright.
>>25357476stop getting women to harm themselves for you, christ
I have a weakness for cute, intense, strange, smart women.
DOWN THE ALLEYS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT I'M TRASHED TOO HIGH TO RIDE MY BIKE MIGHT CRASH WHENEVER I'M THIS FUCKED UP DRUNKEN MONKEY THROUGH THE CUT WHO GIVES A FUCK!!!!!!!!
I have a weakness for cute, intense, strange, smart men.
>>25357670How about 3/4?I also have vast agricultural holdings: an acre with some chickens and a tomato garden>>25357655Don't worry we'll build it back better.
Bought a couple books today.
i think the artificial coloring in my bodywash has sent me on a months long adhd bender
>>25357685bruh i almost copped roughing it the last time i ordered amazon but then i admitted to myself i won't read it at least not any time this decade
>>25357683I'll only accept your proposal if you're at least kind of cute. You're under 6 feet tall and a little underweight, right? Right?
My roommate is here with her boyfriend and I can hear them talking and laughing in the other room. They seem so happy, and I want to be happy for them, but really it just makes me sad, because I’m so terribly lonely. The only thing I truly want is to be in a loving relationship and to have a family. It’s not going to happen for me.
>>25357685Huh
I unironically don't know where else to ask this. I'm writing a story that involves a woman character becoming much "looser" in her personality and, possibly, dressing much sexier, bordering on slutty. That's where my grugsexobrain intuitively thinks where things should go but I don't feel that I understand how women feel about that kind of self display well enough. So, I'm not sure if it's actually a fitting external signifier for the internal changes this character is going through. Or if it is, to what degree. If you do dress sexy or (especially) slutty on purpose: Why? How does it make you feel? Is it manipulative? Is it subconscious? Do you just feel "satisfied" to have solved a sort of puzzle? How do you feel when you go out and everyone is looking at you, or if they don't? Any insight regardless of how trivial is helpful.Thank you for your cervix. Please don't reply if you're trans, no offense.
>>25357695I know how you feel anon, I'm sorry. I suspect that might be my fate as well.
>>25357692Nope, total inverse of that. We're both bears I'm afraid. Grim.
>>25357690I was looking at it on Amazon and for some bizarre reason that same Penguin Classics edition is crazy expensive on the Canadian Amazon site, like retardedly, unnecessarily & prohibitively expensive. It was $18 CAD at Indigo plus I had a 20% off coupon + a $10 gift card so I was like fuck it why not. A ~$48 CAD purchase ended up coming to ~$32 CAD. Not bad.
fuck it i'm going to get in bed and listen to audiobooks
>>25357714sounds cozy <3
>>25357714Fuck yeah. Speaking of audiobooks, I still have 4 hours 43 mins left in Naked Lunch. >>25357701Interesting lol. I only bought it because I want to read about his exploits in Hawai'i, but the entire thing sounds really fun and kino.
God, I miss drinking. Been sober a few years now but I miss it all the time. It's late, it's a summer night, what I wouldn't give to be two beers and a few glasses of whiskey deep in front of the TV right now. Instead I'm coming down off a mild delta 8 buzz. I remember kinda liking the taste of warm vodka in water towards the end. I loved Knob Creek whiskey. I loved Four Roses and Bulleit rye. I loved Miller Lites in the screw-top pint can. Never liked red wine, though. Too thick. I avoided wine when I could and mostly stuck to whites
>>25357737I'm kind of the opposite, man. I'm so done w/ drinking. I still like beer (lagers and ales mostly) though, but I don't feel a compulsion to get drunk like when I was in my early 20s. I, too, prefer a nice, chilled white wine, by the way.
The Emily Armstrong spammer on /mu/ needs to kill himself forthwith.
Would you have gone to bed with me I didn't do your book?
What the fuck happened to my Deneen thread. It was perfectly on topic. This board is already dying rapidly as is, why the fuck would you remove some of the few active threads?
i spend too much on tools i don't use for work i never create i don't know if i'm lazy or too scared to do shit so i like my little comfort zone
"Holiday" by Green Day always gives me the strong urge to goose step and throw the sieg heil a few times. Anyone else?
>>25357437for the love of god do not give your kid an ipad. give them a DS or something with some gamesalso get an old dvd camcorder and document your lives together, and store the discs away until the kid turns 18, my mom did that and i have been so grateful since
>>25357849>give them a DS or something with some gamesI'd give them a BOOK.
>>25357848well the lyrics do say "sieg heil to the president"
I discovered an entire board that was called "Lit". It turned out to be about books. My disappointment is unrelenting
>>25357737My favorite by far is Jameson Irish whiskey straight and room temperature. Drunk as hell right now drinking Manhattans with a rye called Old Overholt. It's overrated. Drinking is just as miserable as sobriety, but for different reasons. I tried weed and it makes me paranoid and twitchy. Can't stand the stuff.
>>25357437Teach your child to read, don't count on school doing it for you. Making sure your kid can read gives him an advantage over the increasingly illiterate masses put through the retardification process that is modern public school. Today, they don't even teach kids how to read. In 10 years, kids will graduate high school unable to speak in complete sentences or perform basic times tables.
Me I'm toking on the penjamin right fucking now :] (and drinking a Sprite from McDicks)

LET'S IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT
>>25357937Hi, Peach, I'm Mario the plumber.
what was the last good movie you have watched, /lit/?
>>25357965Friendship (2024) starring Tim Allen.
>>25357476>Yet IRL im an absolute and complete kissless loser...>Implying you are a winner in some sense online because mentally ill people are harming themselves because of you.
I collectI reject
>>25357965I watched Se7en recently and it was good. Gonna watch fight club next
>>25357695Obvious course of action is to seduce your roommate and convince her to leave her bf for you.
>>25357695It's strange. I want what they have as in the relationship. But not the women themselves. I find most women ugly
Nine Inch Nails is the best band
>>25358313Recommend me a few songs to sell me why.
Why the fuck are JAVs like 3 hours long? Who the fuck slowburns porn?
>>25358323head like a hole, closer, less than, she's gone away, down in it, eraser, reptile
>>25357416He's 6 feet under.
what did they mean by this
>>25357416I brought him chicken, beer and peanuts then we watched the world cup. Good Sunday.
>>25358366It gives them re-watch value.
a coworker work named Ethan, who btw is probably a 4channer, interjected a discussion we had on love today.his demeanor and nose and chin just added up to a distinctive funny, mousey look that some unfortunate people have. every time I glanced at him I couldn't help but think it was weird that some guys could look fully human and mouse at the same time. I had once asked Ethan if he was interested in surgery for his face and he responded "no, why would I ever risk medical complications over cosmetic shit? I don't like tattoo either", which for half a second made me think he was kind of based. it was a one time thing though, Ethan was, and still is, truly retarded in my mind.anyway, Ethan interjected our discussion at the table, "t-there's something I don't understand about women," he said, looking at me for a reason I (not a woman) could never fathom.Ethan's voice was not the kind of voice you'd expect from a human-sized mouse and not the kind of voice you'd expect coming out of a man, either. it was kind you knew the wind wouldn't carry.he chuckled a bit, like he was about to say something funny, so we turned to him and he swallowed, realizing he had grabbed the attention of everyone at the table. even a cubicle neighbor of mine who was just scrolling on his phone looked interested in what our good Ethan was about to say. it visibly stressed him out to attract the gaze of so many people at the same time, so he just fucking fixed me in the eye before saying "why is it that some guys beat their wives but I can't find a girlfriend?" the silence was loud, and no one knew what to say. he was staring at me so I felt obliged to respond "yeah it do be like that sometimes" and everyone laughed like in one of these LARP stories, except it really happened. everyone moved on and pretended to forget what autistic Ethan had just said. it was pitiful, Ethan looked relieved to be out of the spotlight, in fact he looked like he was about to relief-fart. the corners of his mouth curled up like he was glad someone could relate and follow up on his 'jokes' - if they ever were jokes.I, on the other hand, was truly glad I was on Ethan's good sides if he ever decided to kill everyone at the office.
>>25357411There's no such thing as a coincidence. The fact that you're posting in this thread means that you're energetically aligned with me, and this message. Your thoughts create your reality. But you already knew that. Yet, you still live the life that you dread. That is because when you visualize your dream life, you unconsciously believe that it is unrealistic.
I want to have children but I find women tiresome. Can we speed up the development of artificial wombs for trannies?
>>25358547>women are tiresome>but I want to have kids with literal men wearing make up who don't even look that good IRL
>>25357525Yeah I'm basically a lizard, I don't cheer up until the Earth moves me back into the sunlight

This girl I recently met said I'm TOO attractive. That's why girls are afraid of me and avoid me.
>>25358794You thinks that bad? These two girls I recently met said I'm TOO attractive and TOO rich!

The quality of /g/ has significantly improved in the last year. A lot of poltards, tourists and mouthbreathers have gone away. Threads are noticeably slower, but post quality is night and day when compared to the circa pandemic days.
