/lit/ - Literature

I have all the equipment I need to make some really dope music, but I'm dry on inspiration
I'll see if just listening to a ton of music will help light some fire

op is a fag

>>17566312
Why is /lit/ such a slow board.

American infrastructure is dogshit. If I were an illegal Mexican I wouldn't even bother going to this shithole.

>>17566340
It used to be slower but niggers like you came along and refused to leave.

>>17566348
Not only is /lit/ slow, but its slow and filled with shit.

>>17566312
Hi bros. Please say a prayer for me tonight. My mental health has not been so good. I scheduled a counselling appointment but the soonest time slot I could book is a couple weeks out. There are terrible forces at work in my city and I'm living in constant fear. Please pray to God for my peace of mind and deliverance from evil.

Took this photo while walking to my car to go home today. was a nice day

>>17566312
I'm afraid that, instead of being a Napoleon, I might be merely a Raskolnikov. I'm rotting in my bedroom, reading and fantasizing about all the great things I might do. I feel empty.

I'm so despondent about everything. Everything I try goes totally wrong. There's no escape from this hole here. I feel drained. So far, I still haven't found a real purpose in life. Sometimes, I'm afraid to get out of bed in the morning. There's nothing to get up for.

>>17566381
Done. Bless you.

>>17566439
Thank you, brother. God bless you.

>>17566427
Same here but I somehow manage to drag myself out of bed at 8am because I’m expected to be logged into the wage terminal at 8am. I’m going to be 28 years old soon ffs.

>>17566312
Are you in pain?

Enjoy, seems like a good read.

>>17566381
Of course, anon

>>17566381
I prayed for you on three different rosaries stay safe anon evil will never defeat good I'm going to church tomorrow and will pray for you again, do something comfy tonight and take some time to appreciate God's beautiful creation, I recommend looking at nature or space videos and remembering evil is so fucking retarded it can't create anything like that

>>17566381
I’ll pray that the will of God and his presence fill you now and walk with you always.

I am tired, hungry, cold, possibly horny. What is there left to do? Today was another one of those “just get through that ‘day’ days”. Now? I just lounge around like a useless sack of potatoes. How can this even be considered life? I’m next to nothing in the grand scheme of it all. Heck, my dog may be be important than I am considering until I got him barely any girl would give me the time of day and then all of a sudden wham! Girls out the cahoots. Shit just ain’t right, mane. I’m tellin’ you.

>>17566427
Are you ready to finally solve the problem?
I think we both know the answer to this question.

>>17566471
Thank you, God bless.
>>17566504
Thank you, brother. You're right, this makes me feel a lot better. God be with you.
>>17566538
Thank you. God be with you.

Genuinely, thank you guys so much.

Why did I chose to become a code monkey for sustenance ? I have a paper due for the beginning of March and nothing else to do and yet I can't seem to be able to sit down and just type the words because it is so uninteresting. And here I am sitting down in front of my computer to work and I told myself, that I will just type an answer to this thread and then get to work, but this umpteenth excuse I've found this week to not work on it.
Also, One Thousand and One Nights is a very comfy read, thank you papa Borges for giving me the idea to read it.

>>17566312
Not much to say I suppose.
I live my life in an unmotivated haze. Days just pass from one to the next in an endless fog. Even among those I work with I may as well just be a ghost floating through life, only doing that which is required in order to sustain my existence.
Any tendril of hope that I reach out into the dark is inevitably cut short, not by malicious intent or through my own shortcomings, but from the simple fact I may as well not exist in the minds of those around me.
The urge to give in to despair is always lurking within me. I wish I could just lay down in the courtyard and let the cool wind cool my body down as I let the ocean of depression swallow me up. The only thing holding back the tides is the small flickering flame of hatred for the sad sack I'm becoming.

I never did have my emo phase in high school. Maybe I'm just a late bloomer

>>17566543
You probably mean caboose not cahoots. Being in cahoots is like forming a conspiracy. Cabooses are the last carriage on a train reserved for train staff, and so caboose is used metaphorically to refer to your ass.
"Girls out the wazoo" also means "girls out the ass", so you could be confusing it with that phrase too.

>>17566312
Anyone else struggle with acquisition? New things placed in my responsibility or jurisdiction of vision haunt me in my dreams. Its all cluttering up the space of the collective consciousness. It feels like I'm in a stuffy room when I try to interact with anything now. I have to constantly get rid of things so that I have 'room to move'. Learning things seems a waste of time because I'm not transforming, rather taking on the appearance of weight for the sake of mutual understanding. When I learn, I adhere to the pre-existing ideas of a well rounded and healthy individual, rather than becoming what I must be. Often those things which I struggle to add any physical quantification to seem to impact my life the most. In 15 minutes, a few words that I chance upon in a post that leads me to a chapter means far more to me than spending months trawling through book after book, Wikipedia page, language course, making mess of my mind, no different than litter on the street. I sit still and look at the rocks at the beach and see more in their simply being there than I would had I 'learned' why they are or looked at a complicated visualization, but I can't be rewarded for that because to put it into the wrong words would make a disgrace of it.

>>17566381
Haha

>>17566381
>here are terrible forces at work in my city
I'm curious as to what you are referring to. What demons have been unleashed?

>>17566312
man i really like qt asian girls but also don't want hapa kids

>>17566347
Yeah my power is down here in Dallas. I had to go to my aunt's house. Incompetent disgraceful display from the power companies. They don't deserve a single penny after this shitshow.

>>17566616
>What demons have been unleashed?
None more than any other place. It's just that I naively thought that this place was safe against them. To be proven wrong so repeatedly has been jarring but I think that others are not as affected; as you can probably tell, I'm not completely right in the head.

>>17566427
Hang in there fren, I was there for years and now in hindsight I realize it was part of a much larger process. That doesn't make it better but just saying life is complicated. Deal with the shit as it comes but don't make it part of a larger narrative and don't beat yourself up. Keep going.

You’re right. Thank you for the clarification desu

>>17566707
Stay inside with us and weather the storm anon.

>>17566718
No problem. I love trains and misheard phrases so your post tickled all my reward circuits already.

If somebody breaks into my house, and I protect myself but end up killing them in the process. Then my soul is stained with killing right? Having committed that act, I am no longer a moral person. Maybe the self defence thing is a bad example. But my point is what if I'm never put in a situation where I can commit an immoral act. Then I'm a good guy right? So I'm wondering what the fuck it means to be good other than to be lucky. If a guy gets rich, and he gives all that money away to charitable causes right, and in doing so he does an amazing amount of good on a personal level for a lot of people. Then is he a good person, or was he just lucky enough for circumstance to line up in a way that he has a lot of money and that he's been shaped into someone who would make that decision to give it away. Is it all just circumstance. I might be a bastard if my life lines up a certain way, or I might be a real saint if it lines up another way. This makes me think of what Jesus said, I don't know if he actually said this or if this is in the bible but I remember it being. He says if you commit adultery in your heart then you're already an adulterer, regardless of whether you follow through with it. Or I should say, if circumstance puts you in the position to do it. So how the fuck do you even know if you're a good person or not. Do I just constantly have to be tested. But it doesn't mean anything, I'm just a product of my circumstances, which I really don't have much control over.

>>17566334
Limit yourself equipment-wise. If you are a perfectionist you are feeling the weight of your expectations now that you have no material barrier. If you add a barrier back in, you can create without all that pressure.

>>17566769
Or don't, idk just my experience

>>17566760
>how do I get Jesus to hand over my report card early?
Humans at the age of moral reason are always in a position they can choose compassion and charity for their fellow man. That's why God made natural disasters.

>>17566760
Being good means being actively good, not just refraining from doing bad things.

>>17566769
I have an electric guitar, a MIDI keyboard, and an audio interface plus some really good pirated software like Kontakt. It's enough for anyone to get started no matter what idea you have. I have no use for the guitar ATM but it still gets pretty daunting with how much there is to use. Right now I think I'll stick to learning Massive and make covers of stuff until I know my way around it. The amount of sounds this synth can produce is staggering and trying to find the way to replicate one thing is like entering a giant maze that might not even have an exit. But limiting myself to that seems productive, so I'm giving it a shot.

>>17566312
Literally nothing lmao

culture.vg is gone

fight club is on sale on itunes for $5 rn, so i watched the trailer to remember if i want to watch it again. why is he so whiney about his job? i would love to have a middle class full time office job where i can just crank out reports and spreadsheets and then go home to a comfy condo. i guess our standard of living has really gone done since 1999.

>>17567074
every boomer i talk to says the 80s-90s were a lot better than today. whether they are 70 or 40.

Ted K posts stress me out. It's easier for me to cope if I believe life has always been shitty and my suffering is just business as usual, but the thought that modernity is uniquely terrible and I'm suffering because I was unlucky enough to be born in this small period of human history is suicide inducing to me.

Is anyone else deeply, deeply disturbed by how mass culture has developed during this pandemic? People are so perpetually angry and paranoid about everything. All their thoughts and motions are driven by social media subcultures and trends. Normal people I knew before the pandemic have become insanely infantile and puritanical about everything. One girl is now “non-binary,” dyed her hair, and posts on Instagram all day about revolution and hating cops. Before the pandemic she was known as a cute girl who just talked about flowers and nursing and shit. It’s really sad to me, it’s obvious that all these subcultures and mentalities are done for the sake of simulation, but I’m astonished at how widespread it’s become and how absolutely miserable most people are despite how entitled they act.

>>17567212
I mean, what did you expect, prior to the virus pretty every sub and counter culture was either devoured entirely by fandom culture or was consumed into politics already. The only release valve was people going outside and doing something, to bring them back to basic material reality. And most people don’t do that any more. It’ll only increase as time goes on. I think even after this pandemic is done with, people won’t really give up being fried by their internet and fandom culture schlock. Everyone wants an identity and that kind of stuff is easier than introspection and real life work, easier than art and crafts. Etc.

>>17567212
A girl I used to date in high school went non binary and is a self proclaimed communist. I don't know what to think. She was really beautiful and a great personality at one point, then she went to college and became obsessed with activism.

I worry that a similar thing happened to one of my childhood friends and his family. I think being a certain degree of weird protects you from this stuff, which is why people here don't get sucked in but a lot of normal people you may connect with irl do.

Trilby - George du Maurier
Nine Stories - JD Salinger
Eugene Onegin - Pushkin

I have two big ideas for novels and I have no motivation to write either of them. It's a horrid combination of both laziness and self doubt I think.

>>17567157
I think it's important to remember how frequently humanity endures upheavals. It can be hard not to see modernity as a fucked rat race, but whatever happens, odds are life will persevere. That includes you anon!

>>17567157
You learn to accept that truth and revel in the thought that some day the mighty fist of god would crack the nucleus apart and cleanse our modern world in hellfire.

Maybe those before us realized their mistake of modernity, and did the same as we will soon do. Their legacy wiped only to remain distorted and forgotten. As interesting as that is, it’s unlikely. So, we are the first of our kind to accept our failures.

>>17567230
I know that it was inevitably going to happen. This is already the most atomized and schizophrenic society in history and forcing everyone to simulate life through technology was going to utterly fuck up the collective psyche of people. But it's still hard to process how nihilistic it is and how widespread its gotten. No one seems to talk about how depraved mass culture is now, it's not fucking normal for 14 year old children calling themselves political radicals by just posting about K-pop music and video game YouTubers all day. It's such a fake, conformist and homogenous way of living, once you've met one of these people you've met all of them, and I'd estimate that like a quarter of young people today follow this time of culture and obsession with labelling themselves. It's so fucking sad to me

Politics is prior to the vagaries of science

>>17567342
my god im gonna coom

>>17567357
if there's anything you can take away from tech bro startup culture it's that ideas don't matter and all that matters is execution. we all live in the same epoch and so are going to have similar ideas, it really comes down to who can actually pull it off. i have ideas for games, then i don't work on them, and like a year later i will see practically the game i envisioned trending on the coming soon section of steam, but they probably took longer to make than the time since i had the idea, so someone not only brought it to market before but also thought of it before me. oh well.

The pandemic has funneled consciousness into social media with intensity. Where formerly people's consciousness would be more distributed and dispersed through real world activities, instead being cooped up in home has concentrated attention on digital hyperrealities.
Social media, like flypaper, has a sickly sweet allure to it but captures whoever goes on it, fooling them into thinking hollow activities such as shouting their opinions into the void is a productive act. (I do it on 4chan all the time but I have no illusions that it amounts to anything.) External reality has become a futile, insurmountable, anonymizing force of alienation and disenfranchisement, where no one counts for anything except for a small segment of the super-elite who determine the direction all policy and all socioeconomic priorities. Instead social media provides a simulacrum of meaning, you post your opinion in your chosen filter bubble and preach to your chosen choir, rack up a few likes and sit contented as though you have somehow changed anything.

In times of great uncertainty people clutch moral simplicities and absolutes that they then demand the world conform, measuring what is valid and what is not depending on how it fits with their opinion. It's the dark age mentality. A retreat into illusion, a will toward make believe.

i think sometimes about the bullet, it wouldnt be a bad way to go, nothing wrong with it either, just opting out, turning off, it would be like you never existed in the first place.

it hurts knowing how much beauty and possibility there is in the world. it hurts knowing that it all exits, all you'll never experience even the tiniest fraction of it, you'll never know what happens to humanity, whether we make it off this rock and spread throughout the stars. you'll never know what people will think about you after you've gone, you'll never know just how different things could have been, you'll never know. when you go, it will just cease. nothing.

i've been wrestling with that since i was a teenager, and i don't think i'll ever stop. i can forget about it all for awhile, and go on living like i don't know its all for nothing, but eventually the cold truth of it will come back to me. part of me wishes i could have continued believing in something, never realizing just how cold the universe is, and how insignificant we are.

About to listen to the new LEGO® album

The depression is hitting hard again. I don't mind it by itself, it's kind of peaceful. But when I have to keep up appearances like this and do a bunch of fake tasks that distract me from my internal life, I start to break down. I can't be both depressed and faking it all the time. I'm running on fumes. I'm especially tired of faking the things I should theoretically like but simply don't. Those hurt most of all. Near misses are more painful than total misses. I just want to retreat into myself for a quiet spring and summer of reading but I have so much more faking to do.

The one thing that gives me joy is the one thing I am never allowed to do and have to do a fake version of all day instead.

I'm a thighs kind of guy

Butterfly had asked me to stop posting frogs, all for the reason that it is unfunny and "cringe".
Every night since then, I have nothing in my mind but the vision of me grabbing her (probably "his") collar, and pinning her (probably "him") unto a wall. No qualms, I would then proceed to rip her (probably "his") clothing off and do her on the spot. She (probably "he") would squirm, and with my hand muzzling her (probably "his") mouth, she (probably "he") could only make faint noises.
I would do her (probably "him") until her (probably "his") orifice is swollen and I can visibly see my own seed dripping

Why am I in this city? I know why, actually, but I do not want it to be like this. There is a place for me elsewhere I can return to. Family, friends, my culture and language as well as my beloved forest are waiting for me there.
Right now, the girl I love and the job I have are in this city. I aim to change that. But until such time when this change can be made, every second that I spend by myself in this place is weighing on me.
When I look around me, there are grey walls, smeared with ugly graffiti, either espousing radical ideologies, a violent love for sport or just no meaning at all. There are junkies in the subway tunnels, dog and goose shit everywhere and people seem to want it like this. I wonder who those people are and why they want to live here. Or maybe they are like me, just in transit, not living here permanently and therefore not caring about this place.
There are better places to be and things to do. Someday, I'll leave this place.

I'm taking too many pills, my grandfather dying played a part in it snowballing a little out of control.

Also have a story idea for an ex-childhood actress who in her late twenties/early thirties life winds up in the gulf chasing the money of oil tycoons and the like before finding the love of her life & starting a traditional home life and family with him that's a world away from the parenting in the west but I want to highlight how she finds happiness in a more tradtional gender role. It's going to be told in a Hunter thomson esque hallicatnory haze at the start when she's taking huge amounts of drugs but eventually have the writing sober up with her, taking a more direct means of writing by the end.

Is it really that bad to never experience love?
t. 28 year old

I keep fantasising over having sexual intercourse with two women 10 years my senior. The first is a Persian BBW whom I “do the Waltz”, wherein I slowly engage with hands woven while the second - a fit South African Coloured - watches with masturbatory voyeurism.
Then, after three days, when the latter expects no more, I grab her and slam her on the bed to her great surprise and have rough, hasty sex.
All legally satisfying my rape fetish.

Thinking of writing some Focault Fan-Fiction

I wanted to beat women before, but then I realized they would enjoy it in a fucked up way (whether it's sexually or the idea of placing the psychological burden upon you) so I decide to just ignore them instead.

I love hairy assholes. Not the kind of hairy you could see on a dude. No. The kind of hairy you meet on a 17 year old girl who is naturally not-hairy, but still has random small light hairs sprinkled carefully in between her cheeks. Just imagining myself suddenly biting off one of those hairs while I eat her ass, making her go "Eek!" and squeeze my nose with her buttocks, makes me go beyond horny.

Ascetism is an ancient meme distracting and convincing asocial types to pariah themselves whilst enjoying a goodfeelshappynice sense of achievement, rather than murderous resentment.

I'm tired, I sometimes wonder how people manage to find the will to live through modern life, between the soul crushing work and the empty hours in between.
I don't think the human mind was built to withstand a repeated loop of paying bills for the rest of its life

Crazy to think I used to be afraid of girls and think they have cooties. Would only hang out with other boys, seeing girls and women in media would feel ''off'' since they were the other, existing mainly in relation to men. Just using female pronouns made me cringe. They were little more than a nuisance. Even for a long time after puberty took hold and I at least started finding them attractive. These days I have a strong preference for women in most things. Mostly watch female sports, prefer watching female actresses, performers, vloggers. I prefer hearing female voices in podcasts and asmr, seeing female subjects in figurative art, and female pronouns just sit better in my mouth. For some years now I'd rather socialize with women. Don't care to read what they write though. I just wish growing up I'd been more accustomed to socializing with girls because maybe then I wouldn't have grown up to be a retard virgin.

No the quality of these threads has visibly gone to shit in the last week or so ever since feet kept getting posted. There's been like 6 or 7 OPs with feet pics already. This is 4channel so I didn't mind the first 1 or 2 OPs but its destroying the quality of these threads now and I'm getting sick of dealing with coomerbait everywhere.

Bless you. I hope everything turns out ok for you!

I submitted my experimental fiction to the normies on critique circle. I'm probably going to get strung up and castigated for it when it comes up for review next week, but at the same time I'm excited that I'll (hopefully) get a feel for the way an average lit enthusiast thinks about my heavily neological, willfully agrammatical prose-poetry. I have a very specific stylistic aesthetic that I'm chasing, and hopefully the reactions will help me dial it in a little better.

>>17569442
It's been almost a week since the last foot thread, of which there's been 3. I think we're keeping it to a respectable level.

>>17569547
>Learn to see your own internal world as the primary reality that's more real and authentic than the external world.
Here be dragons. Seriously, there is a significant opportunity cost to this: when your internal reality begins to supercede the reality of senses, you open yourself to a number of unhealthy mentalities. This disconnect between the "real" world (of senses) and the internal world is the foundational presupposition of all mental illnesses. That said, nothing of artistic note has ever been created by the happy, stable, and well-adjusted.

>>17569577
they only ban culture of critique threads

I'm too immature and autistic for interpersonal issues. I'm high functioning but am having trouble with a member of the opposite sex thinking I'm a creep, doing manipulation in the office, she's told me she's spread rumors about me.
There's a huge power imbalance. How do I keep going? I need some encouragement. Please even a schizo post telling me to hang on to something.

Just make normal threads without Asian whores and ignore OPs that have bait images. Poetry threads have the same image every time

That’s where I’m at but it’s difficult to do when you’re pretty much stuck in your typical office salaried employee job. You need to escape somehow to live in either isolation or in a manner of survival which doesn’t impede your movement into imagination. The modern workplace offers you neither.

>>17569837
I don't think it's bait, just silly. If there's one type of fetishposting that should be tolerated it's feet since it's easy to ignore, most pics were just of cute girls that happened to not be wearing any socks.

>>17569876
This subhuman >>17569849 is obviously avatarfagging which is obnoxious and against the rules for good reason

Non-footfags exhibit pathological behaviour. Notice their perpetual anger, their idiotic incredulity. No other fetish seems to inspire such devoted hatred, it is not only that “they don’t get it”, but that for some reason they believe that no one should “get it”, they must crusade against it. It is bizarre. All kinds off odd and abject bedroom rituals get a free pass, and yet partialism for a part of the human body, something on literally almost every single person, inspires obsessive, unbridled antipathy. Perhaps the rage is because other people’s healthy desires reminds the anti-footfag of how they are alienated from their own bodies. It is probably a very Western prejudice, an affliction of modernity (even a century ago I notice in proper bourgeois literature references to “pretty” or “handsome” feet, not something that would appear in today’s literature without the connotation of fetishism). Feet are kept out of sight and out of mind. And keeping them bundled up tight in shoes all day is what is responsible for most of their unpleasant characteristics—infection, odour, misshaping; meaning that when the shoes finally do come off most people, presented with their neglected feet, associate them with disgust... the feet themselves are unfairly blamed rather than the conditions forced upon them. Notice the completely disproportionate commodity fetishism built around shoes. I’ve had some “people” remark to me that they prefer the gaudy design of designer label sneakers over the limb you wear them on. Is there a more rotten, insectoid, consumerist and anti-human attitude than that? Preferring literally cheaply made industrial fibre, cynically marketed, a fad, over flesh and skin of an anatomical marvel which has served us for tens of millennia.

>>17566312

I dearly hope the footfaggotry police come knocking on your door and then barge in and drag you from your hearth to the holding pen by your hair

glad more people are noticing the footfag spammer, i am a footfag but i don't feel the need to force my fetish on other men on an internet discussion board

no amount of irony can bury that, you are forcibly exposing men to what gets your dick hard, and when they say "Dude, stop, jesus christ," you are trying to turn it into some kind of gay "hehe u mad? ;)"

no one is mad, you're just being a faggot

not trying to sound edgy or anything right now but footfags are such irredeemable degenerates that each and every one of you should be dragged into the street and shot. i would unironically wholeheartedly support death squads that hunted you absolute fucking reprobates down and mercilessly executed you and your families. i would fucking smile as i watch you get a bullet between the eyes and i would fucking sleep like a baby knowing the world is a better place without you. just my opinion tho

Here's what you do: act like she's a creep. Don't say she's a creep but make sure there is always an independent witness to your conversations or contacts, and tell HR you feel uncomfortable with her. If she comes up to you alone, move and stand next to another employee. Don't speak to her until there is someone else independently listening. If she tries in any way to physically stop you from moving to a space where you have other witnesses tell her very loudly
>Do not touch me without my consent
She'll either never talk to you again, or get fired for harassment.

tarantino posited that footfaggotry is a black male thing, and i've seen enough blacks on blondes videos where the nigga can't keep a girl's toes out of his mouth to know there's truth to that statement. footfaggotry isn't nearly as common in white people porn, and as pushkin is part n-word, we can come to the logical conclusion that yes he was indeed a footfag

I'm worried about the future, I have exams soon on online university and I haven't learned anything all these months just like the rest of my class (online lessons, first years and we don't even know how each other looks like or the teachers)
More importantly though, I'm worried because I'm trying to move abroad to an american university and I'm hoping the online lessons stop so I can successfully move there and start a proper life.
I also want to start reading the /lit/ list of books on self help and all the other stuff I have downloaded. I will somehow make it through this but the worry and uncertainty is still there because it's far from guaranteed everything is going to happen

I'm 24. Work at three bank doing document processing, $19 an hour work from home. Absolutely hate it. Mostly because I can't "turn off" at the end of my shift, haven't physically spoke to a person there since March, and all the woke crap (besides most of our customers being rich foreigners buying shit up, raising prices for actual americans).

I'm absolutely miserable and want to quit. I'm thinking of quitting before summer term, coasting on my 10k savings for rent and expenses (do some side jobs with gig apps or whatever), and going to trade school to get a three semester CMC tooling degree, with the option of going onto a 2 year degree.

Is this a retarded plan? I want to do something with my hands that won't immediately be outsourced to India, or stolen by an illegal immigrant. I'm trans if that's relevant

Nigger, it literally talks about "slender" legs.

How normal is this?

I get a kind of panic reaction when I exercise too much. I get intense itching all over my body. This has been present to an extent since I was a child, but then I was still quite athletic and happy about it. Nowadays it comes in more often and faster. It has something to do with my general state, if I am worn down it happens, if I am not it doesn't. Anyway, it just happened, so I guess I should just chill for a while. I did try to ignore it a few years ago, but that turned into a period of massive mental illness. While this was probably a component at most I still did come to respect this boundary.

Parks and Recreation, the most lukewarm but at the same time least offensive and therefore perfectly fine background tv-show ever made is secretly conservative. The only reason Jerry doesn't mind that he gets harassed every day is because he gets to go home to his wonderful family at 5. He is unfazed by the absolutely horrendous treatment his colleagues give him daily because he lives for and is backed by his family.

Well it finally happened. I went out Friday night and now I have COVID. I feel fine however, just a slight headache. I have to quarantine for 9 days now, which sucks because I planned on going to the beach Monday with my friends (including a qt I've been talking to whose dad is immuno-compromised). Hopefully we end up going next weekend instead. I feel bad for anyone who I came into contact with this past weekend. I only got tested because my school requires it, not because I believed I had it. I've warned everyone I've come into contact with, hopefully it only manifested yesterday (when my headache began).

Spring is right around the corner. The Seine didn't freeze and I didn't die. Tonight's feast is one cheese pizza and a can of beer. Many a soul are sharing similar comfort around the world. Some of them even have loved ones to cuddle. But as the richest hobo in town, I haven't one complaint. I'm going for a little walk.

Every day you dream of that much-rumored lake, which no one knows exactly how to reach, but which some, perhaps by chance, have reached and bathe in it every day. You would like to be with them, as the water of that lake is clear, pure, perfect, a crystal in a liquid state and at the right temperature. You travel a lot, yet you continue to find pools of water that seem more muddy and putrid to you than the ponds where orcs splash happily. In your heart, however, you know that you are slowly approaching, despite certain days you seem to be on the other side of the world, in a fairy place closed to you by a sort of divine punishment, an Eden that you cannot reach because of you or your your ancestors. When such thoughts catch you you try to escape them, and you walk faster, hoping that the mythical lake is beyond the hill you see on the horizon. And in fact you notice a body of water, you approach it, but as soon as you are about to throw yourself into it you seem to smell rotten, to notice disgusting things on the bottom, and to perceive the mosquitoes that want to suck your blood. In any case, you take a bath, dissatisfied, which you would have avoided if your body did not need to dive to live, since you are indeed a human, therefore terrestrial, but an important part of you belongs to the abyss, lives in fluids like the water and the dream. Meanwhile you think of the lakes you have already encountered, which although imperfect seem better than this one, and then you think how much they all suck compared to what you have been looking for for years. Imagine a future in which you have finally found it and you immerse yourself in it, a future in which all of your self, right down to the last atom, is totally happy and satisfied, with no more negative thoughts that gnaw your good mood like mice. unstable. You imagine yourself, immersed in warm and luminous waters, thinking of yourself in the past, literally your self that is now imagining, and how afflicted, disoriented, lost it is. After this very bittersweet you experience eye dream you go out and get ready for the journey: "surely it's nearby" you think while you dress yourself in your clothes and reality.

>>17571082
2/2
Then you leave, hoping to be on the right path and not to be lost many years ago. Who knows, if this perfect lake is actually a reality, at least it seems since some have managed to find it, even apparently without effort. You are obsessed with others and would like to be like them, so earnestly ask the way; but these, every time they never know exactly where the lake is and the various indications are conflicting. The world is complex, and there are infinite causes for this collective bewilderment. Maybe some people want to keep this enchanting mirror after they have found it for themselves, as if the presence of others spoiled it, others maybe they just dreamed of it. There are those who may have been disappointed by this discovery, and therefore deliberately do not want the other people in search to feel bad about it, thus giving wrong coordinates. Finally, a perhaps wiser minority of all identifies the goal you long for with one of the many pools you have already visited. Perhaps in the end the perfect lake exists only in certain pairs of eyes, which in the greenish marshes see the most precious emeralds. You a little 'you realize deep down, but in any case you continue to search, until the last of your days.

i was idly scraping skin off the sole of my foot with a knife and when going to wipe it off the end of the blade with forefinger and thumb found it to be of unexpected consistency, not flaky at all but clumped together, extremely fine grains of skin all cleaning, altogether malleable like a booger, and soft. naturally i ate it, not sure what to expect but finding a rather pungent vaguely cheesecake-ish taste. and after another two bladesful i have decided to stop eating the dead skin from my foot.

How would explain love to a person who never been in one? Asking for a friend.

>>17572695
No, it’s really not. Here’s my reading list for various fields. Flip a coin and pick either tantra or Taoism.

Here’s the Taoist list first.

If you know Chinese or have a friend that can help translate, ABSOLUTELY read the Daozang(it’ll be difficult even with knowledge of Chinese due to the age of the text)
Obviously you want laozi, Liezi and chuang Tzu. (Read these three prior to anything else)

For alchemical purposes I would recommend “ Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality” which I know sounds horrible, but it’s just a title, it’s actually a translation of a Taoist manual designed to take you from basically ignorance to adepthood with alchemy.

Also the alchemical classic “understanding reality” is very good as an introduction.

Holding the three ones is a very old text but I know it can be found online, so I highly recommend it.

But chief among the alchemical and metaphysical literature is ge Hong’s baopuzi especially the inner chapters (which there haven’t been new translations of for years but it does exist in translation.) his traditions of divine transcendence is also a phenomenal read.

I would also recommend the divine farmer’s classic of materia medica and also the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Finally for purely ritual purposes I would recommend two pieces of literature.

The taoist master chuang which is a scholars work who was taught, first half of the book explains lineages and how he came to such knowledge second half is a grimoire tier explanation of how they actually work their magic with seals and how to draw and everything.

Also “mao Shan, tradition of great purity” is another excellent ritual-meditative text.

For pure meditation I would recommend the secret of the golden flower and the Zuowanglun

Here’s the Baopuzi, it’s the only difficult one on this list to find with a google search. http://libgen.rs/book/index.php?md5=C774D46BA327AE36B18579830CDEF4B9

Next post will be a better more systematic reading list thatll instruct on tantra.

I applied for two jobs today. Or, more exact, I contacted two government agencies asking if they have any positions for the summer. One of them sounded like a place I might want to work. The culture here is that you send a CV and a personal letter. I suspect my letter was kind of cringe, but it was sincere. I basically told them that they do what I want to do and tried to argue my value to them. It's an agency for evaluating the effects of health care policy. Potentially this is about as interesting as it gets for me: it's politics after all the asshole shit, adressing real matters in a really complex setting where it's gonna be a corp of professionals (doctors) pleading their case to a bunch of people who largely to not understand them. Interesting stuff, stakes high but I don't hold anyones life in my hands. I hope it works out.

Being a published author in 2021 is almost like being in Hollywood. It’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?

Shiva Sutras
Shiva Samhita
(Optional=abhinavagupta commentary of the gita)
Bhairava tantra (112 meditations )
The secret supreme:Kashmir shivaism (very simplified but still good.)
Kali Kaula(skip if you don’t want Neo-tantra+ historical analysis of tantra and its relations to stuff like Taoism and the general arising of Vedanta and Buddhism from the Upanishads and other such )
Tantra Illuminated (Skip if you don’t want modern lit)
Kaulajnananirnaya
Kularnava Tantra
Anandalahare
Matrikabheda Tantra
Spandakarikas
Paratrisikavivirana
Tantraloka (You can also read when you feel up to it the Tantrasara which is a condensed normie friendly version of the tantraloka written by abhinavagupta to give people a tldr)


These will eventually elaborate upon the chakras and so forth but you should seek context first and not fixate like westerners do upon chakras, example the 7 chakra model isn’t even the standard/universal in hindu models. Just read slow. If you want a very beginner friendly resource, the books and video lectures of Dr. Mark Dyczkowski are highly accessible and his translations are respected.

>>17573198
why do people post this stuff? right wing people on 4chan love European and their traditional culture so why would they ever convert to a non European religion?

>>17573247
right wing people on 4chan believe that they are eating the holy crumbs after a great feast that was western christian culture. Meanwhile there is a seat at our table. Why would they hold on to the outward?

>>17573282
Because they're not interested in your table? Most right wing groups hate Muslims for attacking European culture

How do I prepare for an economic collapse? I don't know anything about economics I just have a gut feeling there will be one in my lifetime.

I really don't know but I had an idea once that one could save in grains and rice and the like. Like buy very large quantities, sacks and sacks. If you need money you sell some off, the value should increase in crisis. If you need food you eat some. I think it stays good for a very long time.

Uhh wouldn’t know off the top of my head. Probably a lot of more contemporary folks, stuff related to feminism, Largely ignore female philosophers and most major Marxists I haven’t read as, though I’ve read Marx, I am not a Marxist. I’m sure there’s a ton, if someone strikes my interest I just go into them and no-life it for a while though.

keep telling yourself that, cryptocurrency has no value nor would anyone be compelled to uphold said perceived value.

What did you think about Marx and Marxism? Did you read Capital too? Do you believe there's a neomarxist threat in America?

>>17573348
i wish you wrote a book on Gypsy culture. Feels like there are very few people who can provide insight into this and you have the ability to provide a nice overview from within that would be enlightening for many categories of people including anthropologists, philosophers, and people of the future.

>>17573433
>What did you think about Marx and Marxism?

Low tier corruption of Hegelianism, his view of history is demonstrably incorrect by the nuances in history he didn’t predict and the various ancient civilizations which didn’t follow his schema. Of course many came after Marx and made many modifications to the point where Marx himself is largely irrelevant to the modern theorists.


>Did you read Capital too?

At some point years ago.

>Do you believe there's a neomarxist threat in America?

Nah not at all, deleuze and baudrillard are correct but more so baudrillard, and I believe that this fascist element of culture which integrates man and makes any other thought impossible on a societal level is a good thing.

>>17573477
I’ve considered it multiple times and have been asked to do it multiple times. Maybe some day. I’ve actually really enjoyed posting translations of our songs in the poetry thread and writing about the cultural context and so forth. So I’m sure I would really enjoy doing it.

>>17573491
>I believe that this fascist element of culture which integrates man and makes any other thought impossible on a societal level is a good thing.
What? As in the neoliberal cancel culture is fascist and good for America?

>>17569143
>shit was amazing even got her to sign my CD book, wife was stoked too. She was so pretty and smelled like an angel

>>17573530
Not quite, I’m talking about the fascist body without organs in which the various lines of flight are forced into repetition. So yes this would be related to cancel culture of both the left and right but it’s ultimately culture obeying the movements of economic forces/powers, which baudrillard demonstrates controls and through technology empowers itself through the symbolic network it creates to The point where it becomes invisible and simply it becomes a matter of life/what one does to obey and not think genuine drastic change is possible. I Believe our neo-liberal system and the system of say, modern China aren’t that different from each other, one is simply more gross and the other more subtle. And this is fundamentally a good thing.

I feel tired, I am just so fucking tired, everything is so tiring, even talking to my friends is tiring, the quarantine made me realize something, I fucking hate these people, their sense of humor is retarded, their jokes overly repetitive and simple, they can't debate for shit, they invite some "fUnNy" Dark enlightenment clown every other fucking day, everything is just so tiring, even doing things I like, I just want to sleep, sleep forever and shed all my problems away, even being angry is kind of tiring, I feel trapped, I just want all of this to end, I just want to go back to my normal life and not rely on the internet for everything, I want my normal friends back I want to be able to see my grandparents one last time, I am so fucking tired, there are so many problems so many phenomena and I am too incompetent or lazy to study them, I wish I was with my dad again, I wish I was hanging out with my IRL friends, I wish it was sunny again, I fucking hate this, the more I'm inside the more detached I feel, in fact, Going to the park and just jogging and sitting about was the best I felt in a long time I need to get my work done and thendo that, just go to the park and mill about, forget about texas, about BLM, about politics, AMLO about everything.
>>17567212
I feel the same, thank god I live in a different country where everyone is boomerish and the terminally online aren't that many, but I feel you, my online friends went that rabbit hole, either that or I just started knowing them better. God, I fucking hate humans.

On another note, I feel like we are all becoming dumber and less active, I feel dumber that's for sure, I was talking with my mom about this and I agree with her that before the pandemic we did stay pretty active during the day, interact with a lot of people, went outside quite a lot, and did many things that kept our brain active, now we even lose track of time, and I say this as personal experience occasionally I forgot what day of the week it was, Thank god my sister and her family visit us every Sunday and that chains me to reality a bit. Anyone here has experienced something similar to me?

This is by far the easiest board to gas light. I don't know how many times I have said some bullshit which vaguely uses the language of the topic at and and I get like 10 or so (you)'s praising me and a bunch of confused detractors.

All of my Professor's are failed authors, and now they're teaching me. I'm being set up for failure.

You could learn a good bit about war from a soldier who was slain on the battlefield if you can just change perspectives and supplement with context. But you’d learn nothing from someone who stayed at home.

A part of me wants to feel bad for you but another one wants to actively insult you, I don't know what you should do, but if you really hate the bullshit so much just go to a trade school and don't be a short idiot and you'll be fine, it also depends what type of Troon you are.

this, I have some muslim trad friends and they are okay but nobody, nobody, not anybody who is right wing, nationalist, or even mildly conscious of their religion will ever break bread with a muslim in the final tally. Muslims are different from us, they feel different, they act different, and most of all they broadcast disdain for their host cultures without even realizing it, they have a kind of "one-track" chauvinism and reflexive assumption that they are superior that isn't critical but more primitive and parochial, and it is instinctively disgusting to Europeans and especially to ethnocentric Europeans

Like I said I don't mind Muslims I don't hate them and I wish them well but get the fuck out of my countries, you are different from us down to your aura.

Only the weakest and specific weird subtypes of right wingers become white Muslims, it takes a highly specific accidental mix of traits that doesn't really map onto rightism well, especially not nationalism or ethnocentrism. You have to be conservative and crave order, but also have no concern whatsoever for ethnic particularities or differences. Not only are the people who are fine with Islam taking over weird, Islamists who spread their influence through these weirdos just smell weird to European right wingers. European nationalists don't even like race-blind Catholic universalism for fuck's sake. Euros have an instinctive love of difference and organic growth.

I used to be worried about muslims enticing right wingers into their fold but now I just know at a gut level it will never happen. Especially since more and more of the muslim immigrants coming in have that incest retardation feel to them, makes them feel even more distant.

I don't, I'm saying I have no reason to believe that the economy is going to collapse other than that I feel like it will.
