Define real communism.

I love black women and want to marry one

I think it's pretty decent considering our population is small and our nation is young

i refuse to read about female problems

How easy or hard is it to get a job being a writer with no prior experience or formal education? Where should one get started if they want to become a writer these days?

>Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion, where have these affections and experiences their seat? Clearly, either in the soul alone, or in the soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both.
Plotinus seems to reject corporal causes at the outset. Why must emotions pertain to soul, if (metaphysical) soul even exist? Why, I wonder if Plotinus would argue fire otherwordly? Because by all means there is not anything in chopped wood which tells of warmth and light and life, but for all that fire still burns. There might not be anything in man (matter) which tells of warmth and light and life, but for all that, man still lives.

Their complaints are mostly that Biden won't increase minimum wage while inflation rises. They hate working in masks but are afraid of corona because some have had family and friends killed or crippled by the virus. It feels like everything is getting worse but pointing that out is wrong.

Carmilla. It wss gayer than I expected.

There is an infinite set of stories that could possibly be written and yet we have only ever written a finite set of stories. Q.E.D.

This might sound stupid but author's lack or absence of social media presence is green flag for me

> Laughter=bad is a statement most people are not going to agree with on an instinctual level.
How the fuck are they supposed to rebrand that? That's literally what they believe in.

What is the evolutionary function of having this much autism?

> I can't make any friends at college, I will be forever alone, an outsider, a non-entity here
that's what I thought until I was able to make friends here. They are with out a doubt all normies—normies of the most boring (loud but incredibly boring) and insipid kind; I am extremely affable so I laugh often but they're jokes are lame, just lame, so lame. Not to mention most of the friend group is composed of women (including the loud fat one that tries too hard to be funny). The girls are not very attractive either (one has a nice body though, complete butterface I'm afraid; another seems to be autistic and weird, laughs a lot, very skinny; fat girl; boring girl; giggly girl; other fat but quiet black girl). There are two other guys in this group and they're normies. Not Chad's, not sóyboys, not incels, not chuds, just normies. I've been on the internet so long I forgot people like this exist. I met a complete autist and a literal (Redditor style) neckbeard before I met these people and I wondered if I could stomach having to be friends with these people but I didn't and I won't. Iet some people at the Gym that I talk to, people at school clubs, work, class, etc. but no true friends. I do stuff with these people, they are my new friends. My last friends weren't 4chan fags (and that's a good thing) but they were edgy, funny, cool. Those friends are gone. My new friends are these guys. Boring, apolitical or slightly liberal, pop-music consuming, rarely funny, . They can be fun to be around (bar the cringe) but I wonder if I'm just settling? Is this how women feel when they could never interest Chad and now have to settle for Tim? Idk. Have my standards for conversation become too high? My conversations used to be lively (we yelled at each other for being faggots and laughed at each other's stupidity, we didn't squeel and laugh about dumb shit). Where is the toxic atmosphere? I thrived in that space. I don't know, I just don't know. These are my friends and it's too late to change them, I have no will to change them, beggers can't be choosers and I'm not mad at who I've got.

> Guys! guys! People are mentally ill not possessed!
> Ok.
> Almost nothing changes as neither psychology nor psychiatry are sciences, except there is a longer history of putting mentally ill people on drugs.

I assume every single one of my political beliefs is a psyop. I see countless retards with beliefs that are very obviously just pushed on them by various interest groups and there is no way I'm so special that this doesnt apply to me as well, I just cant see it because they're the ones targeted at my demographic
