i think women have a greater transcendental capacity than men, but it's extremely rare for one of them to tap into 10% of it in her lifetime. the existence of simone weil will always perplexe me.
i met someone like that a little while ago. asian woman, really eloquent and sincerely enthusiastic, was nerding out over vuillard and kierkegaard intensely, then proceeded to make some of the most lucid statements about responsibility, education, detachment, and visual literacy that i've ever heard in my entire life. i was amazed the whole way through. and what's more interesting is that almost every other person in our age range is a buzzword robot infected with memes and other copy and paste method of communication, but there wasn't a single trace of that in our long conversation. it was all very clear. i wish i had gotten her name before she left, but we were both under this romantic, in a purely literary sense, impulse to not divulge any personal information except writing our own intiials down in each others notebooks. i think she will make a great mother.
women can be so pure sometimes. a shame that most of them tend to be pitiful.

how did ''not taking yourself seriously'' become such a common code to respect and live by? it's really insulting to life itself, and i'm very shocked to see it so widely accepted despite the fact that delving into the history of any successful character invalidates it. do people wish for you to just relish in mediocrity? i guess treating something that might potentially make you deeply question your choices as a joke is a nice way to pat yourself on the back

I don’t fancy myself a writer since I’m trying to be more of a visual artist, but I’ll need some writing skills since I have interest in comic making. I wrote this just now after not writing anything for maybe a year, I just felt like it needs to be shared.
— —— —————- ——————

Upon taking the blindfold off her, the first reaction she gave was a wide eyed stare of terror and confusion as she saw my face. I was already halfway hard in my pants thanks to the fact that the slut was wearing a skimpy crop top with a plunging neckline that showed the two plump mounds on her chest to great effect.

She was a cheap whore I’d snatched up recently. I knew of her from my high school, as she took the same bus as me and her attractive body was an object of adoration for me. She’d caught me eyeing her breasts once and covered them up subsequently. She wouldn’t be able to do that now.

A Hispanic girl, with skin light enough that she had to be mostly European, with big fat cow tits, brown wavy hair, and a filled out derrière that she flaunted in tight blue jeans. Oh, and a navel piercing, you CAN’T FORGET THE NAVEL PIERCING. I had her hands and feet bound to her chair in our dark enclosure, with care taken to position her body in such a way that her chest was jutting out and forcing her heaving boobs into focus. Though I’d already coated the ground with my jizz when I first snagged her as I sniffed her boobs and licked and bit her nipples, her helplessness was again turning my cock into a diamond. I hadn’t slept well last night out of anticipation, and that tends to make me extra horny for some reason, not to mention I’d been building up arousal whilst denying myself release for the past week.

Probably my two main reasons for doing it are that I both don’t want to go through the hassle of courtship just to acquire a cheap whore like this, and also because this dumb cunt has a niggerish disposition. She hung out with niggers, probably sucked nigger dick, and this trend, this trend of niggerification is extremely annoying to me as I have to listen to nigger rap to appear outwardly normal in social interactions. I mean come on, if they want thugs so bad, I’m a literal serial rapist/killer. Yet, I have to play by the gay and dumb rules to get a meager fraction of pussy that gives starfish sex after countless time spent pretending the whore’s thoughts and feelings matter as well as entertaining her with contrived banter that is almost entirely one sided. Yes I like to hear myself talk, but come on, this is unacceptable.

Vaginas are basically a fucking black hole.

A missile. The plane intended for the Pentagon/DC fought back and it crashed in a field. Pentagon officials deep in the know about the operation rolled out a missile from one of the military bases and shot a portion out. That wasn’t damage from any fully fueled passenger jet.
I remember seeing it play out live. Sure the towers seemed the biggest story, but one aerial shot for a few seconds and no other footage of damage. Barely any talk of it. They just kept saying there wasn’t too many in there, and no extra footage. None that I remember anyway. It was just ignored. Only recently did this one surveillance camera footage surface

This is 100% a true story, with no regard for prose.

I remember being basically homeless, sleeping on the carpet floor of my friend’s tiny studio apartment cuckpod.

Applied to jobs constantly, and the only one that hired me was a cokehead and self proclaimed alcoholic house painter. I busted my ass (all I had to my name was a thin windbreaker in 20 degree snowing weather, taking 4 buses across two counties at 4am to get to the jobsite, fueled on 1 hard boiled egg a day that I rationed out in a napkin) he had a coke freak out and tore up all the tape we did on an entire home. He fired me and I miraculously got a call back from an old interview where they hired me to do maintenance work for an apartment company. They even helped me get a one-bedroom apartment with an employee discount and let me pay the deposit over 3 months. A total blessing.

I eventually was working 7 days a week, fixing 77 buildings, all while on a once-monthly paycheck. All I had to my name was an old hole covered blanket my great-grandmother had knitted, one pair of sneakers, jeans covered in holes because they were my only pair for casual and workwear, and my duffle bag to use as a pillow. That and a $20 flip phone from Target.

Eventually I worked my way up to become the main painter for the real estate company. Once a month, I would be able to buy things because of the once-a-month paycheck. Slowly but surely I bought a couch one month, a bed the next month, a coffee table the next month, kitchen supplies the month after, etc. I began to be able to buy actual groceries. I was in heaven.

Soon enough, I was noticed as having a keen eye for detail and strict attention to painting correctly, and they hired me to become a leasing agent for the company as a second job. I was now working from 6am until 8pm everyday, working two jobs AT THE SAME TIME.

I would be rolling paint on walls while speaking to prospective renters in my earbuds, putting on a professional voice and pretending to be in an office.

Pic related was my apartment a year after working hard to create my own home. I have no family, so it was all on my own. I was 23. It was the firs time in my life I had a home of my own; a place to return to and feel anchored.

I would keep professional clothes in my tool bag in a plastic grocery bag, and rub paint solvent (no shower available) all over myself to quickly get off the paint covering my body. I would burst into a full-sprint and run 3 miles to the building where I had my showing ON MY LUNCH BREAK to sell apartments to people, and fulfill my second job within the same company.

Eventually I became the company’s best leaser, and won every weekly sales contest, netting in extra commissions.

Eventually they brought me in and asked if I wanted to become a full-time Property Manager of multiple buildings, ontop of my other two full-time jobs.

Thereafter, my job was to wake up, answer leasing emails, carry two 50-pound paint buckets up 6 flights of stairs to paint enormous luxury apartments where one guy had been rotting dead for a month and whose guts had spilled out everywhere, painting the floors with black rotting organs, and stinking the place up. Mind you, I worked SOLO. While painting I had to be constantly calling back tenants with their concerns for my property manager job, as well as scheduling apartment leasing showings for my leasing agent job, all while running full speed to each showing and taking breaks from each job to do another. I somehow managed to do 3 jobs all at once, 7 days a week.

The day came when my estranged mother’s lung cancer had advanced further than I had even been aware, and was asked to meet my estranged family in Hawaii, where they had moved to without me (I’m the bastard accident child, I was a great kid but I wasn’t planned for my family so they sold me to a man at 15). I watched my mother choke on her spit and beg for morphine through grunts, not words. She died the day after I arrived. I never heard her say she loves me, not once in my life.

Upon returning to my job 2 days later, after using my vacation days for the first time ever in two years of working for them, I was let go.

Their reasoning? I had stalled work on jobs by requesting time off at an awkward time, despite them having 12 other property managers, 6 other leasing agents, and 30 maintenance workers.

I was also told to leave my apartment, as I was living their as a favor to me by them, and my lease was part of my employment compensation.

I had no choice but to move back to my friend’s couch and was left with nothing, and nowhere to live.

Still to this day, nobody will ever return my 600 job applications, and I have to listen to boomers tell me “PICK YOUR SELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS!”.

Death to all boomers. Somebody kill me.

My problem has always been that I feel so strongly about everything that I am easily consumed by the positive emotion tiny everyday occurrences give me. Though to me your problem sounds more like some kind of weird problem with novelty than anything else. Eventually you settle into a rhythm as other people become dependent on you(wife, kids) and even supposedly same-y and boring parts of your routine have meaning because the structure is built around meaningful things. If you feel drab and dreary you're living a drab and dreary life built around drab and dreary things. Action has to be driven by emotion, emotion here meaning emotional reaction to the action you're undertaking. You need to find actions you're emotionally receptive to and then find the logical conclusion of that emotion meaning what you should be doing to be satisfied and content in your life(for hobbies and as a profession).

Yes you can. Eat only whole ingredients, and no pasta/bread (organic or not, it will make you feel a lot better). Workout HARD even just 30 minutes a week, you’re doing more than almost everyone. Stop using screens as much as you can allow yourself, and regularly sit and think in and around nature away from people.

This, and when you get stressed or sad, simply pretend not to be. Brute force your way out of anhedonia. And remember, happiness should never be sought, it’s a gift. Learn to seek contentment, as it is entirely possible to achieve and much more fulfilling. Take your suffering in stride and invite a little more, but don’t ever allow yourself to be walked on.

I felt the same way for a long time. For me it was about creating a refuge, that refuge being my family. People are base, the world is base, the only way you can enact change is by living the way you'd like everyone else to live.

Marxists in the West exist in a state of pure cope. They are winning, but they cannot accept HOW they winning. The consolidation of capital in vast megacompanies, the erosion of national divisions by these organizations and capital, the centrally planned nature of corporations, etc....

I have this hypothesis. The Western elite have bought into the Marxist view of history, and to implement it, they are creating vast megacorporations like Amazon, Walmart, Facebook, etc. Over time these corporations will merge into a single centrally planned system in control of all capital and the means of production.

My entire childhood I was extremely violent. Since I was four years old, because my father beat up my mother and I thought it was normal, and I changed 8 elementary/grade schools. When my mother ran away with me when I was 7, I grew up in a shitty basement and got even more violent, venting my frustrations on others, returning verbal insults with physical harm. (although never bullying, just using every excuse to fight)
Eventually I got cucked out of my anger and fighting spirit because psychologists and the schools kept shitting on me for fighting and being violent, even when it is self defense.Today it is very difficult for me to react violently even when appropriate, I just feel ambivalent to everything and have to force myself mechanically to fight when I need to, like piloting a drone. There is no feeling in it or want for it. Reading was extremely difficult and it took me an hour to just read and memorize 2 pages. I got held back. Dad was/is an esoteric schizo who is too lazy to even read the shitty schizo books to their conclusion, so he just spouts dumb shit without any depth like a larper.

Things got better because I fell in love with a girl at the end of gradeschool. She was the only person outside of family to show me kindness. She calmed my temper and massaged me when my back was fucked. Went to a trade school to become a baker. Managed to get good grades in the 1st year of high school, then started skipping school because I kept beating up bullies and they kept setting up ambushes for me and trying to shank me (got 2 knife scars) so I stopped going to school apart from labor praxis. apart from awful school, genuinely happy for first time because my gf is so nice. love her a lot.

We hit 18 years old, she starts going to school/studies for 12 hours a day 5 days a week to prepare for college, and snaps. her hands start trembling uncontrollably. then her neck and head start shaking, a few months later. her parents think she is faking it, trying to get out of college and get mad at her for it. she breaks down and has one of these attacks in front of her father and he slaps her, so she runs to me to console her. So I offer that she moves in like an idiot, so that she doesn't have to bare them. Then she becomes violently suicidal and it starts every time her attacks start, becomes completely fucking irrational and screams for 3 hours at a time, trying to punch and bite herself while shaking. I can do nothing but look after her because I love her so much, but her personality completely warps with her disease. she is no longer the sweet girl she was, she constantly screams and cries and is happy one moment then flies into a suicidal fit the next moment like a child, over the dumbest irrational shit. We cycle trough many shrinks that give the generic fucking depression meds and tell her to go on walks and treat it like it is a fucking depression, and gaslight me into thinking it is normal and I am overreacting to her condition (all of the shrinks were fucking women)
she becomes unable to work or follow school. her life falls apart. her teachers are kind and let her finish her last year of highschool with As to not fuck up her grades, since she was straight A until then. I flunk high school because I stop going to praxis to look after her. I dont want to exist. Nobody in the family except my mother cares or wants to help, they are just telling me to dump her, despite how much I love her.

2017. I finish my shitty education, start working as a baker. find out I cant work as a baker, start coughing up blood-clotted dough bloobs from inhaling flour after a month of fulltime work. irregularity of school praxis made me unaware of this, so my education was for naught. Doesnt matter, couldnt cope with a job and my wifes condition anyway.
something in me snaps, I get disgusted with my fat stupid self and force myself to read and start lifting weights. I am running away from my wife trough reading and exercise. stop consooming videogames the whole day. I manage to actually get the focus and speed to read. 10 pages an hour. then 20. then 60. 100 with novels.
I autistically devote myself to reading and training.

around 2019 I get into video editing retrowave vids and find out I have a knack for video editing as a whole and love doing it. I really get into it as it is another way to cope. I start editing videos for my friends in film school because I do better than the students at their schools.
My family encourages me to enroll for the film university, so I start preparing and studying vigorously, while balancing a shitty min wagie job and looking after my wife. A great family friend who works as a video editor at the news station helps me prepare and mentors me, and I basically owe everything to him. The entrance exam has three stages (questionnaire, your entry video, then putting a montage together and defending it in front of a comission that picks it apart.)

The university is known to be strict and lets in only 6 people per year, and is known to be corrupt, as many people enter only on a connection. due to the small number of people accepted+the corruption, it is always basically a gamble when you enroll, what if six people there are going to join on a connection (children of the staff, or children of friends of staff)? you are blind to it. It is known that it usually takes 2-3 tries to enroll.

I manage to get to the 3rd stage on my first try, then crash and burn. the ordeal taking care of my wife has put me trough has left me socially inept and broken, and I just stutter and shit myself as the comission picks apart the montage I made. I can't refute any argument as I am too frightened to do so. So I fail the entrance exam, and look like a complete moron. I break down because everything looks horrifying, what looked like my only way out collapses at the tip of my fingertips, while my wifes condition only worsens and worsens and she starts complaining of feeling something crawling inside her head, and her attacks escalate.

Do not quote post

People only read their own posts and replies to their own posts

People are selfish and self-obsessed

Therefore no-one should reply to individual posts and make only general posts

the illness goes on until in the summer of 2020 we find a shrink that gives her some seizure meds. her conditions go away for the most part within 2 weeks. We had to suffer for 5 years for no good reason, but at least I kept her from the mental asylum. She would've stayed there forever with incompetent doctors. doesnt matter, still nearly 5 years wasted for both me and her, but at least its over.
I try enrolling the college again but fail in the first stage. In the process of preparation, I get into a fight (not a physical one) with the video editor mentoring me and our relations sour. I act very disrespectful, and he no longer believes in my capacity to be a video editor, despite telling me I was gifted before. shame on me for being so trusting.

so right now I have no idea what the fuck to do. my wife will be a longtime companion, we went trough hell together and it has only strengthened our bond. but we are both scarred, and I am considering suicide because my prospects for life and work are so awful. I am 23 years old, turning 24, with a terrible education for a job I cant do, no college or a way to pay for it, I can only get min wage jobs that pay 350$ a month, fulltime. (east euro)
only thing I have to my cred is a fantasy RPG book I wrote with some old friends, a PC capable of rendering 4k and video editing skills, but no idea how to find employment without a degree.

I heard of a steel mill offering teaching the trade, but I fear for my lungs and know the laborers will chew me apart and treat me like shit. "24 years old and dont know how to do anything, what the fuck have you been doing with your life?"
I will get shit on relentlessly. I am so afraid of people.

At least I can lift 200kg off the ground.

I'm thinking of making a booktube channel for young men, but it seems kind of untenable. At best you make kino like quentin, whose videos have almost no literary content at all, and at worst you're forced into turtleneck twink mode like waldun to reach a larger audience (girls) through algorithm abuse. I just want to get zoomers to read the iliad. Is it even worth it? Those that would get anything out of great literature find it by themselves anyway.

according to what I saw, 3D is very competitive and finding work is difficult. I have worked online as a video editor last year, albeit for chump change because I was very dumb about it. I was basically too anxious to learn how to use credit cards and online payment methods etc, so offered a job from some people that found my work online and asked me to video edit for them, but the pay was garbage for a fuckton of work. Right now I am making vids for a portfolio and am gonna try working as a freelancer online, but I doubt it will net me enough money for anything but paying the bills. doubt I will be able to save up for college because the money will likely be irregular. If I want to actually work as a video editor in a stable way in the future, I need to be able to earn enough to stockpile funds for college. Getting a trade seems like the best option, but I somehow need to get over my pants-shitting anxiety and fear of people.

I think a demographic exists because of bronze age/fitlit larpers. you just need to associate it with lifting.
Daily reminder that Platon means 'broad shoulders'

In fact, I wish quentin was less schizo/less of a shitposter. it'd be nice if there was something similar but more aligned to /lit/. you definitely have a demographic for what you wanna do, but you somehow gotta figure in the rest of the zeitgeist too. aesthetics, lifting, societycore, incel shit like that.

Well, it's not fruitless if you actually save money, it will just take a long time.

There isn't a magic solution for this, there are thousands of people who come out of an arts or creative degree jobless and spend however long, whether it's years or months, living at home trying to get a job that pays more than social welfare and gives you some mobility.

Unless you have your shit together and are one of those people who is on management track after they graduate, has stocks and is filling their pension the day they start work at 23 (NPCs, Indians and Chinese) then you either hustle your ass off with freelance and creative work (before realising you will never not eke out anything remotely stable from this and snag a desk job with some luck), work any number of shit jobs before you get lucky and snag a desk job or make a lateral move and teach English for half a decade before you snag a desk job.

You don't need to take yourself seriously in order to pursue major undertakings. You can realize that your character is flawed, your goals and efforts are possibly futile, that they may seem somewhat ridiculous to others and even to yourself, and that you might change your mind on many of them, but still persist about them.

"Not taking yourself seriously" means never becoming blind to your own limitations, fallibility, contradictions, humanity and mortality. It doesn't prevent you from having serious convictions, undertakings and impressions - it merely reminds that however far your reason goes, whatever greatness you achieve, however strong your character becomes - in some ways you are always a dunce, and it's okay. Rejoice when you triumph, but remember to laugh at yourself and the faults that succeeded in spite of, so you won't grow proud. Don't be despaired should you fail - laugh in the face of your own inadequacy, adapt and try again.

I know it's a silly question, but how do you emotionally deal with a situation where you are arguing with someone, and you make a strong point, and then rather than them admitting that what you're saying makes sense, they basically strawman a single line in your text, then refuse to elaborate and leave the conversation as though they've won? It's incredibly infuriating and it doesn't make sense given the spirit of an anonymous image board.

mMmmmm. I want to feel like I used to feel when I drank. I usually only drink when I'm with friends, but on occasion, I'll drink alone. I always imagine this time it'll feel like it used to- y'know, free and without worry, but it never works like that anymore. I used to be in a really bad way, and I drank A LOT, but luckily, I have what I like to call an "anti-addictive" personality, which is probably the only reason I'm not dead right now, but I can't always be with my friends, and then I get nervous? I drank when I was younger because I had terrible social anxiety, so I would take a shot before I had to talk to strangers or anything. And I used to hate myself because I'm a NEET, so I drank to try and forget how much I hate myself, but now I've got good meds, so I'm much better, but I remember how it used to feel, and it used to feel good...

It's complicated? But being a NEET is sort of shorthand for everything I don't like about myself. I feel like I'm wasting my life, like I have no purpose, like I have nothing to offer, like there's nothing I can be proud of. Now that I'm on the right meds cocktail, I feel A LOT better about myself, but it's always sort of there in the corner of my eye. Everyone tells me this isn't true, everyone tells me they love me and they're proud of me, etc, etc, but knowing and feeling are two very different things. It doesn't help that I'm turning 31 this year...

Yeah, that's the worst part. It's so easy to believe it. On an anonymous image board, there's nothing I can really do, except offer platitudes. But we exist in a reality that has been built around merits that are unnatural, in a completely objective way. It sounds insane (and I feel like an idiot saying it) but it's true.

We exist to survive in small social groups, providing for ourselves and the rest of our small social group. Fuck. Anon, we're worth more than that bullshit. Some rich fuck, he can eat my ass.
As long as I'm satisfied, I refuse to hate myself, you know what I mean?

China will have a slowdown. The rest of the world will suffer another crash (last one was at the start of Covid actually). But then we’ll see UBI and other shit cause more inflation. It’ll tumble, but it’ll just take a while.
We’ll see how El Salvador takes it.

China is just an authoritarian slave state. Socialism with nationalist characteristics would be German National Socialism or Italian Fascism, which harnessed the power of the people through their natural enthusiasm and love of country rather than just enslaving them. Slaves only do the bare minimum.
