Yeah, other men do the thinking for you because you are not capable of critical thinking yourself. If you were you would be able to elaborate what you dislike about his works instead of just propagating another men's thoughts.

Agreeing with (who you think) are intelligent men is not a sign of intelligence, or whatever.

I'm such a void of all initiative, life, humour, etc. I have literally no motivation to do anything productive in the evenings.

I want to lose 20kg but I want to binge on carby food every day.

I wish I was born in America. The UK is such a disgustingly communist country with tiny houses.

I am going through a ridiculously quiet period at work and the pressure has almost totally been drained from it. The upcoming week is going to be very low effort.

I did something I can barely remember doing for years yesterday. I went in to a book store and bought a book. I bought a new, recently released novel (maybe you can figure out which one). The cashier was a woman that seemed visibly disgusted by me. There were other nerdy looking men in there along with very mid university student girls that probably haven't realised yet they can drop the nerdy pretense and just get on OnlyFans or Tinder. The whole experience was unpleasant. Even walking through a nearby shopping centre was unpleasant, since I noticed weird looking men walking alone and realised that I probably looked like one of them. Going outside is a humiliation.

The holiday is almost over. I'm so demoralised. I wasted almost all the time.

I feel so fat. But I am craving chocolate after that fast food binge.

My long walk today felt like a long summer one. I got lucky with the weather today.

The holiday has almost gone. I am trying to think of tuxedo Pepe and meme myself in to thinking work is no big deal. The image of myself in a large, dysfunctional, slow, bureaucratic company is a very comfy one and people on /biz/ who describe themselves in this type of environment seem to have minimal pressure and close to zero workload. But that has never been my experience irl.

There's a boring history book I'm procrastinating reading.

Winter sucks. Having minimal daylight sucks. I looked at San Fransisco's weather just now. I am a peon.

I told myself in advance that
I'd stop binging after the holidays... summer holiday in 2022. Now I'm still going strong. Walking in shiny supermarkets is a form of meditation. I walked in a run down one yesterday.

The Christmas holiday is nearing its end. It feels like I'm in an endless pleasuredome. Work will hit me like a truck. There are various parts of the first week I'm not looking forward to.

Winter sucks. By the time I've woken up and finished wasting time, the daylight has almost gone.

I feel totally pathetic in my job. And all my jobs. They have all been vague bureaucratic shit where I've achieved my objectives. But my performance review is totally based on the whims of my manager since everything is so ill defined. And success depends on being a normie that fits in. And seeing the groupthink in some meetings is sickening. It's so unpleasant.

I've mentioned that I'm ugly but did I mention I also have a horrendous voice? It gives me no authority. It gets choked up easily when I'm nervous.

There is only one New Year's resolution that matters: Gaining the ability to be a producerbull in my free time. That's it. That's all that's required. Losing weight, having social skills, etc., are nothing compared to producerbullness.

Hopefully I'll go outside tomorrow.

I am dreading going back to work. How can time go by so quickly during holidays? How the FUCK am I going to get used to 5 days of work and only 2 of rest for months at a time before my next holiday?

Winter is officially Not Kino. I wish I lived in Miami or California.

I am saving money but not enough to really feel comfortable. I need to take some time off to go travelling or something. But going on holiday alone would feel so pathetic.

This is mentally taxing. I live life on hard mode. Everybody has everything so easy compared to me.

Being an ugly beta male nobody likes is tough. I don't even know any technical skills. I have a job which is supposed to require social skills and which is not easily definable, which means I am at the whims of normie subjectivity when being judged.

My job is so pointless. I am kind of like a bureaucrat that does all of the most ill defined work while everyone gets on with the actual work. I'm not even a project manager. I'm the totally unskilled link in the chain which exists to tether the people who know what they're doing with the senior people in the business who don't have the skills or time to know what's going on in my area.

I ate healthy food at lunchtime but the ritual of going to the shiny and bright supermarket during the dark evening, buying junk food while telling myself it's the last time, then binging and getting the sugar rush, feels really appealing.

I haven't finished reading a book for weeks or maybe months. I'm not even a consumercuck anymore, just a bug.

Life is such a scam. Everything I do is on hard mode because I'm so ugly and autistic. Everybody has everything easier than me.

I work in a big open office and I sit in shock for the first hour every day when I see everyone effortlessly socializing with their hive minders. Almost everybody gets paid more than me.

Everybody looks down on me and sees me as someone who belongs at the bottom of every hierarchy.

I've never managed anyone at work. I came kind of close to that level in a previous job but there was almost a mini revolt from some people at the idea of me being promoted. I was lied about relentlessly.

I did well in school but didn't cash in by going to a prestigious university. Even then, I got lots of great job interviews but failed them all due to sperginess. Many years later I've got a just about acceptable job but with zero growth prospects like a normie would get.

I hated my degree and have no technical skills. All of my jobs have been vague bureaucrat jobs where you're judged mainly on normieness and social skills. Oops. People try not to acknowledge me at work.

My social life is non-existent. But it's not even something that registers. It has been non-existent my entire adult life.
