My Diary Desu

>>19197385
Did you also cum while being spanked in the ass as a kid?

>>19197339
I'm 33 with a PhD in engineering. I have $150k in stocks $100k in gold, $100k on the bank, $40k in crypto, $20k in cash (and $600k in unvested stock.)
I still live in a cheap 50m^2 flat because I can't be arsed to buy a place and I like the student coffee shop next door. I fucked some hot girls in my time, but I can't be arsed to take on a hobby or whatever to find another chick. I haven't had sex in 3 years. If I could I'd pay a fag to buy me some clothes because I can't be bothered to shop, even if I'd not have a problem to waste $20k on it. I don't use the money for anything, it just accumulates.

I just wanna read philosophy and do math. If I do anything different than now, I just raise obligations and get into a more painful situation. I'm stranded.

I don't recall any character who's like that. Probably because that story is a stalemate with life. What should I read, bros

>>19197528
you need to get married and have kids asap

>>19197339
Absolutely.

>>19197528
Contact rupture1 and buy some land to make commune for /lit/

>>19197540
Why. It's only a blind guess that kids make one happy.

>>19197547
A 100m^2 flat in the city surely costs 800k+, that's the most I could realistically buy.
I don't want to buy land in the middle of nowhere.

you sound like Wittgenstein but far less autistic

>>19197569
I read the Tractatus, but that didn't have characters.

MY DIARRHEA DESU TBQHWYF

>HG Wells
"One other thing I have to note about this brain of mine and that is—how can I phrase it?—an exceptional want of excitable “Go.” I suspect that is due not, as my forgetfulnesses and inconsistencies may be, to local insufficiencies and failures in the circulation, but to some general under-stimulation. My perceptions do not seem to be so thorough, vivid and compelling as those of many people I meet and it is rare that my impressions of things glow. There is a faint element of inattention in all I do; it is as if white was mixed into all the pigments of my life. I am rarely vivid to myself. I am just a little slack, not wholly and continuously interested, prone to be indolent and cold-hearted. I am readily bored. When I try to make up for this I am inevitably a little “forced” when dealing with things, and a little “false” and “charming” with people."

>>19197528
You need kids. Read the Bible, you will understand. It will give your life more meaning.

Only if the spanking was performed by a woman.

Beat me to it.

>>19197524
I wish.

I think the closest have been Gerard Manley Hopkins or Henry James.

Nobody worth having a biography written has anything remotely similar to my uneventful life.

Morrissey, but I'm talentless and uglier.

>>19197547
I own 5 acres out in Park Co., Colorado. Would people be interested in a commune out there? You could live on the land rent free

>>19199953
The Crumb bros are so relatable.

>>19201014
I'd be interested. I've lived in some commune-ish places before, and I have some useful construction and mechanical skills. I think I'm gonna be traveling through CO this spring, maybe I could spend a month and help build some infrastructure on the land and then come back later in the year after we've recruited critical mass?
>>19197547
who is rupture1? I couldn't find anything on warosu or google

I've been thinking about a /lit/ commune lately... most of us don't seem to have much tying us down. none of the people I do know IRL are interested in books or thinking anymore and I don't want to have a taiwanese acupuncture forum be my main source of mental stimulation because computer bad.

>>19201014
Holy damn! Is this for real?! lol

>>19200076

>who is rupture1? I couldn't find anything on warosu or google
Sorry, his name is "rapture1". You can search his posts in archive.
An ivy league academic who is also involved in Bostonian /lit/ meet up circle I think. He has a private library of more than 30000 books.
