Was Raskolnikov really a loser? He was handsome, intelligent and had friends. He seemed more troubled than anything.

>>18711065
just imagine him irl.
>some guy spoke about a just murder, maybe I should just whack a woman to gain absolutely nothing
>lives in the smallest imaginable room
>is unable to act unsuspiciously
>gets easily fucked with by interrogation techniques
q.e.d

>>18711076
Except for the first part, that sounds normal.

>>18711065
Yes. He is handsome, intelligent, and has friends, and is a complete and utter loser. How? He ignores all his good qualities and murders an old woman to steal her money. The landlady's maid was right to laugh when Raskolnikov said he didn't do nothing all day, because he "thinks". Loser.

>>18711098
one cannot be handsome and be a loser. that's not how it works sweetie

>>18711103
nah, that's not true

>>18711112
Handsome guys will never be called loser. At worst they'll get "unusual" or "troubled" but never loser, unless they're absolute degenerates and even then they're given concessions, especially by women. If you're average or ugly, people practically go looking for reasons to call you a loser.

>>18711119

>>18711103
im handsome and a loser. loser status is dictated by mentality not by appearance.

bro the guy walks around the streets of st petersburg muttering to himself. he wears clothing that is ragged and soiled. he sleeps on a worn couch beneath a jacket in a tiny apartment he pays no rent for. his family think he's studying; his books have a thick layer of dust on them. he lays on his bed all day staring at the wall or at the back of his couch. he can barely mutter a word of thanks to razumikhin, who goes out of his way to buy him new clothes. raskolnikov is rude, sullen, and arrogant. he walks around believing he's napoleon. he's a murderer, which is no better than street scum.

Nigga it's not the interrogation techniques that get to him. The opportunity for him to walk away scot free is very clearly given to him at the end, its his own internal monologue that he refuses to accept for most of the book to uphold his own nihilism that makes him turn himself in.

>no job and no desire to work
Working is for losers, and it should be clear as day. If it was worth doing, they wouldn't have to bribe you to do it. Work is the institutionalized equivalent of getting the loser kid to eat a nasty ass dung beetle for a dollar. Even """meaningful""" jobs are chock-full of incredibly loser-like activities, such as writing emails, speaking on the phone and participating in meetings.

The only way to win with work is to do it so well that you'll never have to work again. I sold my crypto portfolio a week or so before the peak earlier this year, and if I live frugally, I will never have to work again.

That was the point all along - I worked for financial independence and attained it, because working is for the most abject losers there are. Imagine having one shot at consciousness, being granted this unspeakably beautiful gift, and using it to work making dollars for your boss. How unutterably cucked, unbelievable.

Average looking males may as well be insects in the age of casual hook-ups.

And it's not just appearance either, these "men" are socially repulsive - boring and zero flirting skill.

Most of them will reproduce probably, but only after they're in their mid-thirties and work their way to financial security, which they can provide.

>>18711265
Because despite ticking all the boxes, the creator of the image feels unhappy and attempts to vent his negative feelings out at those he deems as "inferior." It is resentment directed downwards instead of upwards on the totem-pole.

>>18711380
Sorry but that's not what I'm seeing at all. Old yes, for obvious reasons, but plain looking boring men under 30 were essentially removed from the sex market - unless they're rich.

>>18711045
Can someone convince me that extroverts aren't actually literally everything that's wrong with the world right now? Introbros just want to be left alone, but for some reason extroverts – no matter how smart or otherwise thoughtful – seem to be consumed with the idea that if you don't enjoy the gay little world of social networking they've set up, you're a "loser." At this point, I'm convinced that if we just culled half the extroverts on the planet without any consideration for accomplishment, personality, or success within the self-referential structures they've created, we'd solve most of our species' problems overnight. Some people get caught up in ideology, religion, ethnicity or politics, but I've come to the conclusion that the real beneficiaries of this system are really just extroverts. Forget the Jews, forget the false left/right dichotomy. It's extroverts who are the problem. Extroversion is the primary driver of everything wrong with the world and we should cull them mercilessly.

no, the majority are plain looking average men. I'm not completely "bluepilled", my brother is male model tier and have seen how girls treat him all my life. But the idea that the majority are in this tier is hilarious. You have deep insecurities leading to confirmation bias. I'm a 5'10" 5-7/10(depending on the day i guess) arab male and I have had multiple decent looking gfs and hookups with cute girls. My interests are: reading, writing, and playing soccer. I'm not interesting.

Why the fuck would you want to even participate in the sex market? Do you actively enjoy the soul crushing dehumanization of transactional sex? Are you just bitter it doesn't work for you? The dynamic in and of itself is fucking reprehensible, and it's crazy to me that the people primarily disadvantaged by it would magically be okay with the whole thing if only it just worked for them. Have some more respect for yourself.

>>18711487

>>18711487
It's probably just malice, honestly. There exist actual psychopaths out there who genuinely get off on the idea that they're harming vulnerable people. The way that image so specifically targets young men who are down on their luck implies a decently deep analytical understanding of what's going to hurt them the most. For a psychopath, something like this, where there's no possible retribution, must be a delicious little exercise in causing psychological pain for the joy of it.

Turns himself invisible for kicks - doesn't realise that now has to go around naked and only eat when no one is looking.

I'm not trying to demoralise you, I'm trying to inform you. People aren't asking you to wear deodorant and shave your neck because you're a unique shining star that they want to stamp down into conformity, it's because you're gross.

Being likable is rewarding, but not effortless. Saying you're just too much of an individual to change your underwear doesn't make you look independent and aloof, it reeks of sour grapes.

>>18711708
It's awkward and unsatisfying the first few times, similary how workouts suck when you start exercising. Your dick needs to get stronger, your moves more refined. Be sure that the girl you were with enjoyed it even less than you did though lol.

>>18711731
Not him but
>the first few times
I can't imagine it ever feeling better, it felt as numb and shitty as trying to jack off with my non-dominant hand. On a pleasure scale from 1 to 10 I'm not exaggerating if I say the few times I had sex were all at zero, I'd rather have been doing anything else at the time.
It depressed me for a while because I felt fucked up but now I feel good because I hardly desire sex anymore, jack off way less, don't watch porn anymore etc so there's an upside to having a broken dick I suppose

>>18711740

>>18711740
>I can't imagine it ever feeling better
It definitely gets better as your skill improves, but it depends on the partner as well. People don't like to talk about it but vaginas differ just as much as dicks do, queefy loose roastbeefs are objectively worse than your own hand. Not to mention that some girls (often the attractive ones) don't bother doing anything in bed, they're already making you a favor just being there with you haha.

I mean, yeah. Nobody forces anyone not to talk to girls. Why do you act as if it's impossible to choose not to have female contact? It's one of the easiest choices to make for a man, just make the choice and it'll happen on its own, literally no effort required.
I ghosted all the people I knew since high school and have had no social contact since, I can bear it because I'm probably some kind of autist or schizo but it's a choice, I was never forced to do it.

Only one I tick is the car box and Im a huge fucking loser

No one who does not really enjoy the hookups will admit it to you unless they are very genuine. Find a girlfriend or a wife and you will probably enjoy it more.

I'm pretty sure they were going to remove that one from the DSM-V because it applies so easily to so many people. But yes I relate to everything there except the asexuality since I have a libido.

Choosing to not pursue women to keep them from disturbing your lifestyle and not being able to pursue women out of social ineptitude are two very different things. My problem is that most people do the latter while pretending they're doing the former because it at least has a small amount of dignity retained in it.

Like 3/4 of the 4chan userbase is schizoidal, I know you don't need to talk to women or keep a large base of friends to feel okay. That said, good women and good friends are tremendously important to good mental health schizoid or not, and being willing to just say fuck it and shrug off even the chance for getting any is a sign of immaturity. Defending one's immature choices as if you're just too enlightened to have human needs, be they social or otherwise, as I said before, reeks of sour grapes.

>>18711980
>My problem
Why is it your problem? And how can you be sure?
I don't feel like my mental health has deteriorated despite not having had a single friend for almost seven years, nor have I felt the incentive even once during these seven years to seriously go out of my way to meet people. As you yourself said, I concluded that the disturbance to my lifestyle would outweigh the satisfaction I'd get out of it. My question is: why should I bother if I feel no need? Moreover, why do people get so confrontational if I claim that I feel no such need? The concept of a one-size fits all model for "mental health" seems dubious.
My case might be special though because it seems that not only do I not seek out relationships, I actively destroy them to avoid having to maintain them, the only exceptions being my close family members because they're social ties that don't require upkeep, so to speak

>>18712016
Let me put it like this. You have a woman who lives in your house, puts her titties in your face whenever you ask, and does stuff to your penis a few times a week or so. She cooks, she cleans, she does your laundry. When you have a problem and you feel like venting to someone, she listens, and genuinely cares, and you can tell. When you want to feel valued, she's someone that values you. You get back from the gym, and there's an attractive women there to tell you your arms are looking bigger. You feel sick, and she brings you stuff you want so you don't have to get out of bed. You have some dumb, overly thought out opinions on something inconsequential but nobody to talk to about it, and she listens to you and lets you get it out and at least pretends to care. When you're in a shitty situation and you can't be in two places at once, you've got someone you know you can count on to take part of the burden.

I don't care who you are. Whatever your lifestyle may be, it can be improved dramatically by a high quality woman.

>why should I bother if I feel no need?
I think it's good that you feel no need, it stops you from getting desperate and compromising when you shouldn't. That said, all of the best things in my life were difficult things I was averse to before I got over my superficial feelings toward them and took the plunge.

>Moreover, why do people get so confrontational if I claim that I feel no such need?
In my case it's because you're missing out on something integral to the whole 'being a living thing' experience as if it's no big deal. A diabetic refuses to take their insulin because they feel no desire to get pricked by needles, and when you say "But you'll die, do you not want to be alive?" they respond "Eh, I'm dubious of that, besides I might die anyway, and I really don't like needles, why does everyone get so confrontational when I say that?" Bad analogy, but you get the point.

>>18712110
Your first paragraph doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. I'm not going to address the specific points autistically one by one but it's not the kind of thing I would like having in my life. I've lived with people and I've lived alone, no matter what kind of relationship I would have as an alternative, I would take living alone instead 100% of the time.
I understand the appeal for some, but it doesn't make me feel anything personally.
>all of the best things in my life were difficult things I was averse to
What, for example? I seem to have good enough intuition that when I think I won't like something, I'm right almost all the time. I can't think of exceptions from the top of my head.
>you're missing out on something integral to the whole 'being a living thing' experience
Am I? I know what sex is like, I know what friendship is like, I've known, albeit for a short time, what infatuation is like. There are plenty of good or interesting things in life that most likely I won't get to experience, such as skydiving, discovering a new land, killing a man, et cetera, but I don't see life as a checklist of things to be accomplished, but rather as a straight path that is specific to me and my own experience. Sometimes the path intersects or branches out and there are choices to be made, but it is not an accumulation of experiences, which is why I've never seen "missing out" as something particularly important or even as something that made sense.

>>18712110
I'm not him, but what you've been pushing for this entire time is not going to lead to that person getting a good woman. It seems to lead more often to the opposite outcome. And in any case, one does not need to be gregarious in order to meet a decent woman.

>>18712110
Decent post, but I don't think you have much experiece with females born after 1995 if you genuinely believe they behave like that. They'll do the sex stuff but that's all, and even then you're most likely sharing with the male friends she has on the side.

Hey man, maybe you are 1/1000000000.

Then I met someone that left all of the parts I like perfectly intact while adding much more, and I think about you or anyone else massively missing out because they assume the next person will be like the last.
>What, for example?
Reading, for example. I avoided books because I was intimidated and worried about feeling stupid. I still feel stupid, but I feel much more enriched for not giving it up and am no longer intimidated by thick books with big words. I could say the same for strength training, mixed martial arts, socializing, psychonautics, philosophy, or fucking anything that isn't staying in my room playing video games. It started with "Ah fuck, I don't want to do that, fuck that" followed by "Damn I'm glad I did that shit". There's plenty of stuff that didn't work out, but there's more than enough that did.
>Am I?
Yes. This isn't adding another coin to the collection. You're a human being, with a nervous system, you can feel and experience, and that's all you can truly do before you die and it all stops. You're writing off a huge section of feelings to experience for convenience, the convenience of getting to keep experiencing the same feelings you're already comfortable in with less hassle.

He should have fucked his friend Rasumikhine. A proper dicking would have put Raskolnikov back on line

I doubt it's that low. I know at least one other person who's the same as me. Went farther than me, he actually had a good gf and broke up because he didn't want to have to deal with the constraints inherent to relationships anymore.
Were you really content if bringing another person into your life felt like an addition? What do you make of the diminution of freedom, the energy you have to put into to make the relationship worth it to the other person, the various other material and mental constraints?
>strength training, mixed martial arts, socializing, psychonautics, philosophy
Okay, I get the idea, can't relate though. I've always known what I wanted to do and every time I've forced myself to do something and did it anyway because I was told I'd feel glad afterwards, I didn't feel glad at all, but rather felt like I was right all along and had wasted my time.
>This isn't adding another coin to the collection
I don't understand how it isn't. There are several things a lot of people like saying are fundamental to the experience of life, like moving out and having your own place, or finding hobbies you enjoy and that give you a sense of accomplishment. I've done both of those things, but only because I felt the need to do them, not because I felt like I had to due to my capacity for feeling and experience. What makes something integral to the living experience, as opposed to peripheral?
>it all stops
I don't believe that, which might be part of the reason why I don't feel obligated to maximize the breadth of my experiences while I'm alive. I let the path I decided on take me where it should.

If they took a shower and stopped feeling sorry for themselves maybe they wouldn't be such sad pieces of shit hmm? Ever thought about that, cancercel?

I don't know. I have been following BTC's behind the scenes for 4 years and it's not pretty. If you want to learn more just check out Cas Piancey. He has been investigating Tether which is suspicious of manipulating the price. It's the not the only reason why the price went up though but definitely the main reason.
With that said, if it goes above 60 again it will probably be in 3-7 years.

Werther wasn't a loser, there were plenty of characters in the story he got along well with and many of the people from his village stormed to his house while he was dying.

>What do you make of the diminution of freedom, the energy you have to put into to make the relationship worth it to the other person, the various other material and mental constraints?
I just waited until I found a woman that didn't limit my freedom, need an excessive amount of energy, and didn't materially or mentally constrain me. They exist.
>I didn't feel glad at all
Yeah there's plenty of those too. I fucking hate rock climbing. But there's a difference between forcing yourself to do something because someone else told you how you'd feel and forcing yourself to do something because you know that if it works out it would be a genuinely positive addition to your life. You have to make the choice because you believe in the choice.
>What makes something integral to the living experience, as opposed to peripheral?
You're an awareness using a nervous system to interact with the material world. That's what remains when everything that can be stripped away without destroying the system is. The awareness's concept of a 'fast car' could be destroyed, but the system is still exhilarated by the sensation of speed. Similarly, the awareness could have a concept of companionship it finds thoroughly unappealing, the system finds value in it nonetheless. That's what I call integral, the valuable essence of something that remains stimulating when everything else is stripped away. Letting your system fail to experience what it's capable of is to let your awareness's conduit to reality atrophy pointlessly. What is there to an awareness with nothing to be aware of?
>I let the path I decided on take me where it should.
Passivity is cowardly.
