I have been autistically downloading and archiving a huge ebook archive just for this occasion. My own personal Library of Alexandria. It's been a time consuming project with a lot of carefully curated picks. I will be able to archive all my annotations and notes as well for easy access.

It's just Phillip saying that he won't judge (you) for being a schitzo

I pulled up to the Applebee's around three in the afternoon and composed myself as I walked towards the front door. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and I could feel the heat rising from the parking lot's asphault. I wiped my brow and fanned my shirt as I walked past two birds fighting for what looked like a half-eaten breaded mozzarella stick. My brother recently set me up on a blind date with one of his co-workers--I only agreed to do it because my family already thinks I'm a pussy--so I figured this would stop some of the shit talking. Upon entering I walked up to the hostess; a racially ambiguous teenager with LED hoop earrings and eyebrows that were shaved off, only to be drawn back on again. She stood still--staring at her phone behind the host stand, her tied-up hair bobbing softly as she chewed her gum. My eyes wandered the stagnant Americana plastered about the walls, waiting for her to say something. ''White Wedding" by Billy Idol was playing on the restaurant's speakers, and I finally began to cool down from the summer heat. Finally, she noticed me.

''O-oh! I'm sorry! Table for one? We have bar seating too, if you'd like?'' she recited as she grabbed a menu for me.

''Ah, uh, thanks, but I'm actually meeting up with someone here."

''Okay, well they could be here already, what do they look like, I've been here all day"

A warm gush of aired suddenly filled the entrance.

''Well it's kind of funny, I don't really kn-"

''-Jerry?!'', a shrill voice yelled behind me, and all I could see was a silhouette shaped like an anthropomorphic fridge in front of the slowly closing door.

''Yeah?", was all I could get out before the shape ambushed me, pulling me into an embrace. It had to have been at least a half-foot taller than me.

When I pulled away, I was able to witness my assailant. She stood over six feet tall and was easily 450 pounds. She wore Crocs, a skirt, and a shirt with a Disney character on it. I think it was Eeyore, but I'm not too sure, because what happened next distracted me from everything else. I gazed at her bright blue eyes set in her pasty white face, with greasy strands of sandy colored hair grown to just above her shoulders.

And then I saw her neck.

"Is...uh...Are...Are those skin tags?''

''Wh-what?"

My voice began to tremble, and increase with volume. ''Are those skin tags?''

Her face got red and her eyebrows slanted in sadness. ''Is...that a problem?'' she whimpered.

Skin tags? Really?

"Yeah-Yeah, it's a fucking problem, you vile cunt. Fucking skin tags? SKIN TAGS?! AND YOU HAD THE FUCKING AUDACITY TO TOUCH ME?!"

Without thinking, I took a swing, and perfectly connected with her jaw bone. She slumped down against the host stand, and the hostess immediately began screaming. People began to stare as I grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer off the host stand, squirting it out and rubbing it all over my face and neck, and running it through my hair. I proceeded to turn around and kick her hard in the head.

it'd probably work like a culling of the herd. or like how forest fires are necessary for the forest itself to thrive, seeing as how many have evolved to have seeds that can only begin to sprout when exposed to fire. i'm just riffing here, but it's interesting to think about, yeah?

yeah anon, i suppose that in itself justifies invalidating everything he's ever contributed, right?

Pickman's Model is probably my favorite story of his despite knowing he's written objectively better stories. I highly recommend starting with this predictable story of his.

What do you do in social situations when you're an shut-in autist that doesn't have any normal interests? Asking for a friend.

How grand it is to think your puny consciousness will keep on existing for ever. Upon death you will be flung into the astral realm, disoriented and dazed you. You'll twinkle around unable to do anything at all, because you haven't been cultivating your spiritual faculties. Then after an indefinite amount of time, whatever essence still remains of 'you' will simply dissolve into to void.
This is why esoteric/occult practitioners have sought immortality since god knows when. Immorality has to be cultivated, it's not a given.

What books would you recommend to a person who is about to commit suicide and has never read a book before?

Touching rim has nothing to do with contempt, when one does something beautiful and Dionysian one is not empty enough to hold contempt

Try again.

It's not about psychology, you nonce. Stop falling for physicalist memes. Realize that reality is mental in nature and you can exert influence over it with your will.

Post your recommendations:

I recommend:

The Philosopher's Toolkit
The Elements of Style
The Palgrave Macmillan Dictionary of Political Thought
Python Essential Reference - David Beazley


Post yours.
