I'm glad to hear it anon. I'm settling into a new job. Finding it tedious but that's training for you.

I always wondered what would America's political landscape be like if Ross Perot's Reform party survive. It had a real chance of being America's third Party

Don’t know why you guys were so fucking upset, it was a perfectly good butthole

I’ve been trying to sleep 7-8 hours a night as opposed to my usual 5 and I am actually feeling more energized and active. I’m amazed that this is a real phenomenon (well, maybe it’s placebo but still).

The amount of time spent on thinking how much better it would be if i was dead is increasing by the day, and i see no reason why it would stop.

how the fuck are you surprised that sleep deprivation makes you tired

>>19331486
is there anything you enjoy doing?

>>19331551
Well, I know it’s a real thing but I thought I was one of those guys who could get by with 4-5 hours. And I still think I can get by, but this is longer sleeping time makes me actually refreshed. My father likes to say that a 20 something who sleeps more than 6 hours a night has no future, but I’m not so sure anymore. I feel like this is a boost worth the lost time.

>>19331569
No, even my sleep is troubled now.

i just ate three of those tina's mini burritos that cost 59 cents. not because i wanted to but because i didn't feel like cooking real food. now i have to go to work. i hope i don't end up having farts rumbling around my guts all day,

healthy young males need more sleep not less, you father sounds like a dumb ass who perpetuates bad dad science. as you age and your body starts to die you no longer need to sleep as much, but while you are still going up to your physical peak you need much more sleep. in boxing, a very rigorous and physically taxing sport, male athletes peak around 27 and then decline after about 32.

I fucking despise chinks, I wish WWIII would start already so I could do my own rape of nanking

Bro 2 weeks ago they tested 2 space nukes with technology that the west doesn't understand.
Whatever WWIII idea you have in mind is already over. Its been over for years. They won.

>>19331642
I read somewhere that in hunter gatherer societies males peak in hunting ability around age 50, which really surprised me. Apparently it has much more to do with technique than athleticism.

I fucking hate my current life. I have NO time to write. Work eats over 40 hours per week with some of it spilling into my time at night when I would write. When I DO have time to write I have to chose between writing, playing vidya with friends, or just trying to smoke abs chill the fuck out. But right now it is alllllll eaten by work and I am stressed. Sucks because I have like 3 slightly not shitty book ideas.

>>19331685

Being busy and using your brain constantly means inspiration comes easier to you. And you appreciate and make better use of your free time. Sadly, there is not enough free time. I do feel that the working week should be reduced to 4 days, there are so many useless email jobs around these days in which trivial things are outsourced to anyway. Plenty of studies suggest people are more productive and do just as much work all told.

The Russians 100% could have defeated the US if Brezhnev had the balls. After the Vietnam War the US was not in top shape and it would have been the perfect fucking time. Too bad he was too busy being a fat boozebag.

The golden age temporal order as depicted in Traditionalist School writings and the Orthodox Marxist view of Full Communism are largely the same Edenic vision of unimpeded natural hierarchy, abundance, human flourishing, and union with Absolute Being on both an individual and social scale.

You forgot to post the soijak.

I am already struggling with my No Nut November pledge. It's shocking how habitual I have let nutting become. Going back to Uni certainly doesn't help. Women under 20 are sublime, even the less attractive ones.

>>19331186
Is it abnormal for someone to put so much energy into thinking about themselves? While brainstorming for a screenplay I'm trying to write I ended up writing the following:


There is something incredibly potent to Burn’s emphasis placed on voluntary therapeutic resistance, i.e. clinging to destructive thought patterns on some level intentionally because they provide some sort of helpful yet destructive value to you

In this framework, the desperate urge for the dehumanized child from my past to cling to poisonous meta narratives about my self is slowly succumbing to a healthier, less self-centered, more mature image of myself, others, and the world, which might alter my meta narrative about a dehumanized child someday too

As this trend continues I hope to look outward more, with the pathological need to look inward buried behind me

My introspection likely acts as less of an honest self-audit and more of a retreat inward, where my psychology is guaranteed to justify all flees from danger and where my predetermined inclinations of the wretchedness of the real world are guaranteed to be dignified, submerged and endlessly turned in other thoughts as dark as them, with their real value being in the strength of the effect they have on me and less in the logic of their arguments

I genuinely hate my coworker. He's aggressively nerdy. Like he deliberately went out of his way to cultivate an insufferable personality, I'm certain he practices his atonal, nasally voice as well. He's a pathological contrarian and /v/ caricature, it's insane. If I say anything at all he'll disagree semantically if I'm right and literally in cases of opinion, unless it's an absolute truism and he can't avoid agreeing in which case it's a grunt and a pivot until he finds something on reddit that he can mention which inevitably brings him to his favorite topic, Dark Souls. I've had so many conversations with this midwit fuck about books, where he disagreed with every interpretation and opinion I held of course, only to finish up with "I haven't read [X] but I've seen a lot about it." Holy shit. I just stopped engaging with him actively so now the office we share is just him babbling about Dark Souls news, LOTR references (despite my favorite line about LOTR, "I hope I can read them someday!") and when he's "quiet" he just burbles, literally. He's so fucking fat that he can't breathe properly, it's just a constant series dramatic intakes, holds, and hisses as he releases his breath. Why? What the fuck causes this? Is he missing his fucking CPAP machine? Beyond that I'm treated to his constant sinus issues, he can't NOT clear himself of phlegm I guess? Just coughing and clearing his throat, all day. Drunk some fucking water you brainless fuck.

Terrible OP image, can we get the nice art ones back instead of these shitty anime ones?

>>19331891
do you think he comes on 4chan to talk shit about you? probably not.

Lovely OP image, can we get more of this nice art instead of those shitty pretentious ones?

>>19331847
I guess. Most people most of the time think exclusively about themselves, particularly when they're young (which I assume you are, from your post). Also,

>In this framework, the desperate urge for the dehumanized child from my past to cling to poisonous meta narratives about my self is slowly succumbing to a healthier, less self-centered, more mature image of myself, others, and the world, which might alter my meta narrative about a dehumanized child someday too

Literally what the fuck did you mean by this?

>>19331903
It's possible. He probably thinks I'm a faggot for not agreeing with him or doing whatever it is the "always rights" want you to do. He's overweight as mentioned and I'm pretty fit, he sucks down chocolate milk after chocolate milk and finishes boxes of those rolled chocolate cakes things EACH DAY so I'm sure he feels very superior about our differing lifestyles. He also gets a little insecure and clams himself up if someone visits the office and they and I chat, I've done a lot of stuff and can relate and talk easily with people on a number of topics and while I have no evidence I wouldn't be surprised if that was a little emasculating. I know I wouldn't want to be the guy who could only offer up an opinion on a level in Dark Souls, just waiting for people to stop talking about weekend plans or affairs or whatever banal shit we come up with and step into my lair. Maybe he doesn't care, but either way I'm sure he has "my coworker" posts somewhere.

>>19331891
Kinda same, except he's my roommate, not my co-worker. I just do my best to ignore him, which you seem to already understand is the best course of action when dealing with those kinds of people. I sometimes wonder, though, if I look that way to others (at the very least, I'm not fat).

>>19331891
>>19331935
Sounds like the people posting in threads saying that they are 35 yr old khv. Literal mouthbreathers that live their lives on autopilot completely consumed by their impulses.

It must be truly glorious to live in an ascending civilization like early modern Europe or modern China. Why was I born into a civilization in the midst of a collapse? How wonderful it would have been to live in an optimistic, triumphant society instead of a melancholic, self-hating one!

>>19331610
people who need less than 8~ hours are vanishingly rare it's a shitty meme

>>19331847
It's possible to become attached to a warped self-image that can be traced to childhood trauma if that image is associated with a sense of certainty and if a departure from that wounded image exposes one to uncertainty. The very experience of trauma, especially in childhood, makes one wary of the uncertain, as your concept of what may happen if things change is tainted by the expectation of a negative-traumatic-outcome. Thus distorted self-image has some value, in the same way that an alcoholic finds value in drinking even if the net result of their substance abuse is their self-destruction.

Also, about your screenplay: be wary of writing about yourself if you intend to present it to an audience. It's unlikely that you are that interesting.

You’re not going to sperg out and claim there’s a cabal like last time, are you?

It frustrates me that I'm so deficient in my ability to make lasting friendships. I'm more than halfway through my first semester at uni, and it feels as though I only have acquaintances; that I'm on good terms with nearly everybody, but not good enough to form a real connection with any of them. Maybe I've just been spoiled by my friends back home, who were more like brothers to me than my actual family, and so now these so-called "friendships" feel lacking in some way. It'd also be nice to meet someone, anyone who actually reads literature.

>>19331960
I appreciate the effort but I assure you he and I have discussed plenty. There's just no point so I generally don't anymore, dude is a walking fat meme. I'd be shocked to the point of a conniption if my coworker ever said anything as poignant as your post. I think the last thing he said to me was a rehash of his Final fantasy 14 routine, I learned that it's getting an update so he felt the need to remind me and rattle off statistics and canned opinions for about 10 minutes while I updated my queue and just got to work. Weird guy.
>>19331945
We probably do look that way. There's just not enough time to really get a personal feel in casual conversations. One on one interaction is different and I'm sure I don't have a "that fat fucking nerd" opinion floating around with anyone I connect with however. The fact that you're self aware tells me you probably don't, either.
>>19331952
>completely consumed by their impulses.
Yeah I think this describes a facet of his personality, or rather this personality archetype, pretty well. My brother is kind of like that too actually, it's pretty sad. At least my brother can be funny on his good days.

>>19331933
I'm 25.

I cut out a paragraph before that, but Burns' theory (less a theory and pretty much proven) is that some people in therapy are resistant to actually changing (just look at r9k incels) because their chronic anxiety or depression might subjectively actually help them in the sense that someone who constantly worries about what other people think may think this will prevent them from acting in a way that will cause others to judge them.

I've been dealing with crippling anxiety problems that have rendered me incapable of taking effective action on anything and through therapy and introspection I've set out to find out what is causing my anxiety and how to defeat it. In the framework of Burns' theory of therapeutic resistance, I've concluded that the things I learned as a child from my parents, myself, and others have engrained within me a horrible self-image, destructive thinking patterns, fear of other people, fear of failure and rejection, and all the other components of low-self esteem. I cut out a paragraph before that explaining how my problems are finally getting a little better, which is the result of the stories about myself and negative thought cycles losing power over me along with a willingness to finally let go of all these horrible things I've been telling myself for years. Given that I learned them as a child, the meta narrative of my self-image has for years been clinging to these destructive stories I tell myself as an excuse to avoid problems, feel special, etc, and I'm hoping once I'm fully "recovered" or matured or whatever that maybe even the story I tell myself about being mistreated and damaged when I was young will be seen as just another destructive meta-narrative about my self gone with the past and unnecessary to the current, fulfilled version of myself.

>>19331990
Genuinely insightful and I think essentially a more graceful version of what I described above. Thanks.

>>19331701
I know what you mean. By the time I do get time it all seems like such a process.
>>19331725
Yea if I had a day that would be nice. During the day on weekends can be hard too due to the family. I’m hoping this winter I will be inside more and can write. That seems depressing too, though.

I'm half way through my 3rd year in uni and I've decided to do my masters abroad. I've started working on it relatively early and I have a pretty clear path ahead as far as anyone else is concerned.

But fuck me, alternatives and doubts just keep popping up. I had this problem before and I wasted a lot of money on classes I ended up not really needing. Worse than that, it was my parents money. I do plan on paying them back once I get a job but fuck if it doesn't sting. Idk bros, my path ahead seems straightforward enough but considering my past experience and what a big step it will be for me I'm worried I'm going to reach the end of that path and be let down by the results

>>19332180
I actually have a friend who is a therapist, and he sometimes--quite rudely--analyzes me in an attempt to help me. And he often points out these same sorts of self-sabotaging tendencies when ever my theory for explaining a problem I have is that there's something wrong with me. It feels sort of gas-lighty because first of all, it's entirely possible that there is a problem with me that I need to identify in order to fix, and second, he says the only thing that's wrong with me is that I think there's something wrong with me, which is a deeply annoying circular explanation. Also he's probably right, which aggravates me further.

But I can sympathize with your posts because I've dealt with similar issues, specifically relating to intimacy, self-isolation, trust, and a belief that most people have ill-intent toward me until proven otherwise. --On that last point, I find it impossible to believe that a stranger can look upon me fondly as a first impression, and feel that everyone is out to do me harm unless they go out of their way to defy that expectation. In my mind everyone is guilty until proven innocent. As a result I face down the world by putting up walls, being standoffish, and trying to seem unapproachable. It becomes self-fulfilling

>>19332395
>I actually have a friend who is a therapist, and he sometimes--quite rudely--analyzes me in an attempt to help me.
I’m not that other anon, and I know you probably wont believe this, but I am a therapist. What your friend is doing IS NOT ETHICAL AT ALL. They shouldn’t be analyzing you and CERTAINLY not offering advice about your behavior. This is to be taken very serious in psychology since it can cause damage to those around us. I do not analyze or offer psychological advice to anyone within my family especially my close friends and wife. They and or both of you may think this is harmless and ok but it is not. There is no way to remove the subjectivity of your relationship that would allow your friend to be objective in your matters. They may think and assure you they can but it is impossible. They need to stop. Now. Do not allow this inappropriate behavior to continue.

>>19332395
You sound very similar to me anon, with the initmacy problems, assumption of negative judgement, self-blame and ultimately putting up walls while searching for solutions that will hopefully someday tear down those walls. In the end I think self-acceptance, cultivating self-esteem, and beginning to live the way you want before you feel you deserve to are the real solutions rather than presuming you're rotten and then trying to extract the rottenness from yourself.

My liberal friends fret all the time about a supposedly imminent Civil War 2 and for the life of me I cannot understand why. The only faction of American society that would start such a war are conservative whites. The white population is in terminal decline in America and I would not be surprised if whites are literally extinct in the USA by 2200. When I point this out to them, they go “well, yes… but Trump/Capitol Riot/etc>”. It’s like they want a war, and don’t like the idea that it’s never happening.

Anon with a million projects here. I am losing my God damn mind and I don't know what to do.
My NEET days have been over for the last 2 months since I started going to school again. My location is filled with insufferable zoomerfaggots that speak like they have mush-mouthed impediments. Everyone, normal-looking or not, is talking about race and sex and class and blah blah bullshit as if it's going out of style. I fucking despite it. It doesn't help that I'm involved in a few clubs and intensive courses, meaning I have to see all of these worms day in and day out. I could lie and say I find solace in my part-time job, but that usually only happens when I have to pay for groceries. God, I'm hungry enough to eat a house right now.
I've been falling behind in everything. All of the projects that I want to do (pic related) and my classes aren't going as well as they should be. Being here, at school, has drained me to the point where I'm getting 9 hours of sleep out of depression alone. Today, though, a fire burned in my heart as I realized how futile things are going to become if I don't do what I want to do. And I want to create, consume, create, etc. as a one-man army under my real name so I am known, and false anonymities so I am not. Just a whole smattering of universes where anyone won't know it's me--while balancing media consumption, an ever-dwindling social life, failing health, and classes I couldn't give less of a shit about anymore.
My current major project is a reflective piece I got an idea for over the summer. I guess now would be the time to write it. I'm also going to start teaching myself how to make music and draw on a computer so I can create something beyond my current limited capacities. The only way I can become a one-man army is to train for it. God, I am so tired. But I've thrown my whole self into this for far too long, and there's no way I'm willing to let myself go so easily.

How to unfuck yourself is a real puzzle. These things run deep. One thing I realize is you can't simply wait for these kinds of issues to go away. If you do they'll be with you forever and might even become more entrenched.

You might be on to something that you can't think your way out of this trap, that the way out is to live in a way that goes the opposite of it. It's very hard to change yourself by yourself, but if you live in a way that forecloses on any possibility of that change--for instance, by self-isolating, or putting up walls, and therefore pushing others away--then obviously change won't happen.

I noticed google has started down-ranking wikipedia articles in the search results. Usually wikipedia articles are the top hits when you want a quick dose of info on something. I wonder what labyrinthine scheme of corporate deal-making this is involved in this change. Google can alter the course of elections just by adjusting what shows up in the top 5 search results.
And yes, before you mention it. I do use other search engines, but google remains best-in-class.

>>19331186
I stashed a cache of cigarettes in a nook in a public space some distance from where I reside, in a deliberate attempt to self-limit how many of them I consume while at home. The chore of going to get one would prohibit me from overconsumption. I assumed it was only a matter of time before some all-seeing hobo --as the eyes of hobos will inevitably run across everything outside given enough time, they have nothing to do with themselves but look, and they search every corner for sustenance and chance treats-found it. My tucked away pack of cigs lasted two whole days before it was discovered.

I only get the urge to suck down one when I've been drinking. Vice compiles upon vice. If you drink, you must smoke. Apparently the two vile substances play off the same neurochemical circuits and mutually reinforce each other. I've always been rather fond of addictions. It gives me "something to do", it narrows my consciousness and simplifies my existence by turning me into a hamster on a hamster wheel. It's a means of controlling the chaos of my own intelligence by narrowing it.

How is it explainable from an hegelian historic perspective that philosophy suddenly took such a strong linguistic turn in the second half of the 20th century?

i could die in my room and it would take weeks before anyone would notice me dead if it werent for the rotting smell of my corpse. very little difference from me sitting in my room from days on end.
its not peaceful at all, i cant focus any anything academic because my head is filled with negative thoughts and my poor performance only fuels my self hatred.
am i going to do anything about it? No just complain on a shitty message board and let life pass me by

>>19333822
No, I meant death seems peaceful. But it's tough, but it's probably not that bad, there could be a path to redemption, maybe a hard one, but it's probably there.

I'm so fucking lonely it's stunning. I haven't spoken to anyone besides my mom, my literal schizo of a brother, my professors (when I have to), and store cashiers in nearly two years. I'm not even sad because of it, I'm just frazzled and empty feeling. I don't know how to even begin meeting new people. I'm so painfully self-conscious I can barely go shopping without feeling like I'm being judged for buying the wrong kind of shampoo or potato chips. I've even had people try and talk to me and I just reflexively act like a fucking autist to drive them away and then wonder why I'm such a retard afterwards.

I wasn't always like this, either, which is extra weird. I'm a bit of a tard but I had friends in high school and got along reasonably well. Ever since college started my social live has just completely evaporated and I can't put it back together.

It gets into everything I do, too. I don't have anything to do in my free time, so I focus entirely on schoolwork, so now my entire life revolves around stressing over grades or distracting myself from stress. It also really damages my writing. I feel like I'm missing out on a massive part of the human experience and can't properly capture real emotions or themes in my work because of it.

Man it feels great to not give such a shit about the fact that I'm a narcissist. For years I was this self-doubting, covert narcissist with paradoxically low/high-self esteem but now I have accepted that the greater part of me will see himself as special and above others, and by reining in that apologetic, unsure aspect of myself I'm able to make my person march under one banner, and adjust my lifestyle to make sure that my external circumstances and abilities reflect the internal high opinion I have of myself. Because I do not want to feel deluded the next time I get high. Rather than getting high and seeing my inadequacy as an individual as I usually do I want to see my greatness manifested before me, resting on the blood sweat tears that were spilled on a daily basis to achieve my dreams. Try accepting yourself guys, you won't feel guilty all the time and be infinitely more sure of yourself.

Experiences come in many forms. What you are going through is a type of human experience that a lot of people have. It seems you have a lot of fuel that you could use here. I’m sorry you are in this dark place. It certainly echoes a lot of depression. Pushing others away, heavy self criticism. I hope you find what you are looking for. In life we go through many transformations, perhaps this is one of yours.

i just wish i could have saved him in some sort of time machine or something....

>>19334063

>>19334145
the election is already called for the republican. i dont think the 4% margin can be recovered

>>19334152
what did you get banned for

>>19334158
Not possible, the Democrats are never going to lose again. Demographics and Trump legacy was supposed to ensure it.

I haven't even attempted to write since i was a young school boy but today some ideas swirling around in my head for a while finally took forms that were concrete enough to finally type out a few bullet points on wordpad that might potentially be built up into a story. i still have no faith whatsoever in my ability to write though because ive been so isolated from life for the last 10 years and i dont know if i could write realistic dialogue, but it could still be a fun little exercise.

>>19334168
democrats can't conceive of hispanic people being conservative because the only hispanic people they know are their servants. not to mention all the indians democrats import to keep wages down in tech are all republicams.

The problem of evil is solvable.

Evil is simply the sanctification of selfishness, the vehemence of the will. It is the belief that ego is the whole. Evil is solipsism.

Good is simply the understanding that one is always part and never a whole in oneself, that one is always the organ, never the body, that the other contains facets of oneself and oneself is other, blurred into the greater beyond.

I dunno, I feel like they can ride the anti-white platform to victory every time now. Anyway, picrel is my reaction to being wrong AGAIN. I'll revise my prediction to "Democrats will never lose the Presidency/House/Senate again".

>>19333754
Backup plans?

>>19334186
Even if they were stuffing every ballot theyd give some wins to Republicans just for appearances. Not like there is a shortage of controlled op Rs for them to use

>>19334180
oh well. i have the same problem, big time. its especially bad if you're cooking food on top of it, these things will seriously ruin your life if you are in a situation where you dont have much in the way of responsibilities and it can be allowed to spiral out of control. hopefully you have a job to keep you in line

Some people are very shy about having their bare feet seen by other people. I would very much like to see this sort of person put into medieval stocks, blushing, shamefaced, helpless, subjected to the mean, scrutinising stares of idiot villagefolk, mean spinsters with long sharp fingernails who come up to harass their helpless feet with tickling fingers.

Join who? Stirnerfags? What do you stand for? Is it different from being like Howard Roark?

>>19334227
Sorry anon I've heard my posts seem to have that effect on people. I should probably be more scrupulous in how I use that power... There is a tickling general on /d/ however they tend to post repulsive deviantart shit, I would advise using anime-centric sites instead

>>19334236
npr is biased as shit. murphy had a strict small business killing lockdown, sent infected people into nursing homes like cuomo and whitmer, and everyone knows if he wins he will push a statewide vax mandate like ny has which right now nyers who are frozen out of public life due to vax passports can catch a train over here. he'll probably end up winning, but he was full of shit the whole time with these gloom and doom plague is upon us press conferences then there'd be cell phone video of him dining out at the shore with no mask etc. plus he's another dickhead from goldman sach like the last dem governor.

>>19334256
Well list em off let’s go!

Honestly this is amazing. I'm beginning to think the /pol/tards might have been onto something when they said there would be election weirdness.

>>19334326
the dems saw there are no consequences for election weirdness starting with the primaries when their shady app stopped counting votes when bernie was winning so he couldn't be called the winner until the next states voted.

I haven't seen my gf in just a few hours and I'm missing her so much already.

wtf is salem and sussex county's problems, you want to start reporting votes or what assholes? the polls closed three hours ago

Another empty mickey. Depressing. I want to smoke weed so badly...

>>19334351
No one cares

>>19334326
fairfax county has decided to rescan all ballots, i guess things didn't go the way they wanted the first time so they are trying again

>>19334355
right, imagine still thinking weed is cool when it's already legal for recreational use in like half the states. who gives a shit.

>>19334360
I'm worried desu. Rigging votes, if that is what is happening, is never sustainable. It might be time to look at a place I can flee to out-of-country when things begin to fall apart.

i dont think the point of these threads is to write things people care about
>>19334362
i dont think weed is cool. i dont know why you guys keep acting like ive said this

>>19334126
Thanks anon. I didn't mean to make it sound so dramatic, it's not all bad. I'm doing fine in school and have a reasonable chance at getting a job after graduation. I just don't have any real social life, and I feel like I'm losing out on a part of what it means to be human. Solitude is nice and has its unique perks, but it's not enough for a good life, I don't think. But perhaps this is just one of the woes of modern life. We're all adrift in our own worlds. I dunno.

>>19334385
Now that I think about it, I felt sort of like you did when I was in graduate school. I went from undergrad, living with 4 of my then close friends, to me, alone in an apartment 7 hours drive from my family. All I did was work and school. On my days free I would drink and read. My long time girlfriend, being a huge reason why I went to that school, had also dumped me. It’s odd it’s like a dark spot in my mind. I know I was depressed and very lonely but I never really saw it that way then. I think I imagined that is what grad school was like so I just accepted it was baked into the cake. I’ve been NEET so long now that it has faded. Odd. We are all adrift but sometimes it is nice to float with someone for a while. Even if in the end we know they too will drift away.

I did a job interview about 3 weeks ago and they told me that same week that I didn't get the job. Yesterday they called me at 9am to aks me if I was still interested and gave me the job. I'm stunned. Usually when I dont get something, whether its a job application or dating, they dont come back a few weeks later asking for me. I mean I knew that this happens sometimes but it never did for me so I assumed that it would never happen.

Anons, who have or want to plan on getting shelves:
>How do you organize your books?
Me: Alphabetical
>If you organize them alphabetically, do you go by author's name or book title?
Me: Title - with exceptions for authors who have multiple books, then I display all their works after the first title alphabetically
>Do you separate your collections by genre
Me: Yes - fiction/non-fiction/history/religious texts
>Do - or would you - classify memoirs (i.e. Storm of Steel) as history or non-fiction if you have to choose?
Me: Non-fiction

Also, what are some good and affordable bookshelves you've found online? Thanks bros

>>19335272
im pissed i didn't buy the book shelf i came across that probably would have been narrow enough to fit in the only space ii have, current situation in less than ideal and most things are too wide

I absolutely cannot wait to be a father. I’m only 21 and I have no girlfriend or anything close at the moment, but I keep finding myself fantasizing about the life of a married father. Whenever I see parental relationships in media I end up baby sick and wanting that aspect of my life. It drives me and acts as my anvil to improve my life upon.

>>19335457
good luck anon, i pray that you one day succeed and become a good and honorable patriarch

I fucking hate google. I fucking hate those whores of mammon. I just googled the term "quintessentially", and the first entire page of hits is a faggot company specializing in ""luxury lifestyle management services". Their webpage, instagram, twitter, wikipedia, linkedin, all for a company that is a glorified front for providing instagram-whores for smelly arabian oil barons to be Dubai porta-potties.
I google Iberia, I get some faggot airline instead of the peninsula. There is even a litte infobox on the right with their paltry yearly revenue of 23 million dollars, as if that drop of piss in a bucket would in any way justify them monopolizing the term. Lo and behold, one of the faggot founders is a nephew of british faggot royalty.

Working in SEO is the moral equivalent of being a book burner for the nazis or the commies. I knew it was a faggot job for faggot-intellects, but I never quite realized how much additional faggotry it would have as a consequence.

But with programming project and other ideas for writing and stuff. Every song I listen to given me a story and I want to make that story into an animated video so that my vision is finally expressed onto a canvas. But I am not finding time for any of this. If this wasn't bad enough I am also going for noFap and struggling with the idea of noGF/forever-alone.
But I really don't want to give up, not a single idea that I've had should remain in idea stage by the end of my life. I know that this is not possible but I will do my best.
FFS you really motivated me to be that one man army as well. I need to learn music and 2D animation and game design and competitive programming and FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK lets just do it.

I stumbled onto this anime music video which as no title and it's largely about non-existence and listlessness at a train station. I think there was few things more frightening than that. West and Eastern philosophy really differs on being and non-being but non-being isn't some pathetic disintegration into nothing nor cowardice towards life. To be so self indulgent in one's own confusion must be counted as a typical example of sin and the willingness for people to surrender to nihlism without even the accompanying angst or fury was troubling to witness. Tread carefully my friends and make sure you read well because there are real demons out there to destroy you in sheep's clothing. I think the beasts and monsters which littered children's books and folktales of yesteryear now manifests as surreptitious and malignant philosophies, if we dare to give it such a label.

Sounds like me, except I'm studying philosophy, which in terms of viable career options might as well be pre-law. Regarding those two interests, how much experience do you have in them, and do you think you could utilize your skills to make a living from them within the next few years? Enjoying something and developing a brand and earning money are completely different. The stress involved in making ends meet could take the fun away from being a producer or journalist, and the chances of becoming a well known artist or novelist are slim and will take a lot of suffering that I'm not sure you'd be willing to take on. I think you should do some self-reflection on how far you can push yourself down this road without depleting yourself of passion.
Currently, I'm learning to code while taking music more seriously again. I spent a lot of my time in high school making beats, so I have a working knowledge of Ableton and a workable intuition for sound. I also plan on collaborating more with others, particularly people making films and games, because knowing people is pretty much half the job, the other half being a dope artist.
Put in work man, and don't make any rash decisions. Hope we make it.

Talking to feminist-aligned women after reading feminist stuff is actually making me start to think in an extremely sexist way. Even when I was an edgy teenager I never would have thought of these women in this way, I'd just think of them as slightly more hormonal and physically weaker guys, but now it's like I have to either view them as children or robots, because they don't actually care about any of the ideals of what they read or their movement, they just want to be able to decide who gets to even be able to talk to them, regular looking guys being "below their standards" when they're average looking themselves. Even the attractive ones I've spoken to basically just don't want anything to do with guys below their standards unless it's to serve their existential position in some way. Fucking hell, it really is just all a grift by white women who in the end are going to get hitched to either big buff dudes that'll end up making them conservative leaning or pathetic underweight underexercised losers who are desperate for affection and have money. I think I'm just going to start talking to religious women only, they're at least honest.

Lol. It has been known from ancient times that women are a meme. It's not even their fault; they evolved in a state of quasi-slavery. They can still be intelligent and interesting people but when it comes to their sexual natures and their evaluation of men they are still caveman tier. To be fair men are usually not any better, their occasional moral veneer being usually the subterfuge of the weak.

>>19336903
hes probably just 21 and born and raised on the instagram/yt hustle funnel.

>>19336944
It means more to them to win Taiwan over than to grab land and kill lots of people. That’s the US mo, because they’re racist opportunists. China will continue to play a long game and play the hero.
As for what they’re winning it’s obvious. They’re winning that old cold war and the capitalist crown is passing to them. They will continue dominate in technology and industry. I do predict a shorter tenure, but they’re not going to be taken down by this Evergrand thing

>>19336463
Sure. So my wife and I were excited about having a child and very happy he is here. It is hard to condense. But the first year of his life was nothing but stress. Trying to adapt to a baby while working was difficult and our relationship suffered. Every minute of the day was focused on the baby. Watching, helping eat etc. or if you got a break it is washing dishes, cloths other household tasks. I literally didn’t do anything I wanted to do for a year and a half. But things are much better now that he can walk and talk, Fred himself, play etc. don’t get me wrong I’d do it all over again because raising a child is an other worldly experience. Feel free to ama

>>19336949
Nah, I actually stopped doing music after having worked quite hard at it for years because I was disillusioned with how homogenous the path was and how corporate the career seemed to be. Art getting diluted in the money, etc. But the truth is that life involves some measure of compromise— if you want to wageslave and tinker around with a guitar or Cubase after your grueling workday, by all means, feel free to do that. I'm sure there are plenty of amazing records that have been produced by unknowns that are sitting in a hard drive or on some obscure corner of bandcamp.
But if this is how you want to make money, you need to take steps to promote yourself, establish relationships with other artists. Maybe brand was too much of a ig hustle buzzword as you say, but I don't think taking music seriously as a professional and making great art are mutually exclusive.

damn only 3 days into November and this is getting pretty hard.
i never even considered my self a coomer(at most twice a day, usually once a day or once every other day)

China is playing a long game and the odds look good for them. However, as of now, they cannot win a hot war.

I feel like most young religious people on the internet are larping, especially if they weren't raised in a religious background.

>>19336778
Women are literally their biology, just a bundle of impulses. I feel okay painting them all with the same brush because nearly all women are the fucking same histrionic midwit. All they want is for some guy that they perceive as more valuable than them to validate them so as to inform them of their own value. And that means increasing and maintaining your value all your life to keep her and keep her happy.

Im generally of the opinion that infidelity/divorce is the result of binding yourself to a whore, general misfortune or not keeping up your end of the bargain. Love is basically a permanent striving towards an ideal of oneness that ends only when you die or the whore(either you or your wife) tires of the other and puts their personal greed and hunger for novelty above the family you have or are soon to create and destroys everyone's lives.

I agree. I'm more keen on forming relationships with other artists rather than doing promotion (unless the genre you're in is super saturated and the goal is fast $$$). As someone who ran a blog and searched thru tons of obscure music I can say that mostly what differentiates stuff that make it and stuff that doesn't is the artist's embrace of what is contemporary. its not hard to find a good album by a unknown artist made in the same vein as a famous artist 10 years ago. the good music that is aware of contemporary trends and offers something new is where the talent is.

So… the West and women in particular. I read out loud my note
‘As I think to myself how disgusted I constantly am about the state of things… how once it was easy to say,, well if everyone was reasonable this would happen and then for the other camp to say, yes everyone should do the same thing but if we think of something unrealistic that’s a waste of our energy’
Now to even say that to someone and expect them to have thought this through or just be pushing their own agenda is just as difficult as pulling off a hair from a horse in a moving truck.
I can speculate on what it means to think of a universal logic but the authority is well and truly in the hands of a person’s resilience and lifestyle. And their lifestyle is in the hands of their opportunities. And their opportunities are in the hands of where they’ve appeared and who talks to them combined with them selecting the best choice for long term gain, which often looks like the worst choice at the time.
This begins to frustrate me more so I pull out the first android I ever bought. The one from way back in 2078 when the devices decisivi were running on a old Linuy platform. Even though i should really be working at getting the Priya Pashwan case.

Ahaha yes i fortify my sad little siege mentality by putting different ethnicities in boxes that conforms to my myopic view of the world
>Quick! The enemies approach, m'lady, and they have the most ghastly complexion! I may not live to see the next day!

>>19337098
That makes sense. There is definitely a balance to be struck between being aware of musical trends and incorporating it in your work, and still having a distinct style.
Another thing is that 'making it' means different things. In the pop world obviously it would entail having millions of spotify plays, but in more experimental/grassroots genres like techno or metal there seems to be a more humble sense of success, which allows you to express more of your individuality.

>>19337199
Its not a siege mentality, it's just pattern recognition. I'm an anglo myself and have many negative traits of the race. Being quite insane however my racial nature is somewhat overshadowed by dysfunction. The mentally ill of each race tend to resemble each other, a touching reminder of our unity.

How'd you meet your wife/What qualities should one look for in a potential wife/How did you know you were going to marry her

>>19337261
I met her at a wedding. I was actually still in a relationship at the time. We shortly broke up after abs I started chatting up my now wife via Facebook until I got her number. Qualities are difficult as they can also be preferences. I obviously wanted kids so I wanted someone that was caring and sweet. Also slow to anger. Kids are frustrating as fuck and if you get angry fast that will need improving (I am one of those people). But I also wanted the qualities for appearance etc. I know I was going to marry her pretty quick into the relationship. It was just something my mind knew I can’t really describe it. My previous relationship we dated for years but I never had that “this is my wife thought”. My current wife, we dated for 6 months before I asked. Been together 10 years now. No issues other than her moving my shit from time to time haha

you wouldn’t be suicidal if you had a girlfriend, you wouldn’t be such a fucking raging homo either

Wrote 500 words for new book. Waiting on self sabotage to come along and make me delete it all.

Thats fucking retarded. You are fucking retarded.

Feminism is entirely women who resent their biology. It's entirely neurotic.

Just finished 2 arms and 1 head , man that was heartbreaking

>>19337589
Hey thanks I know. I probably won’t do it but the urge’ll be there. Know a good name for a city? I can’t think of one.

>>19331186
i pooped twice today

>>19337630
Depends on the setting. Is it a city on earth? Any particular country or time period?

>>19337699
Yes Earth located in the southeastern part of the midwest. Let’s say, southwest Indiana? Time period would be present day.

Your strange dialogue can give it charisma if you embrace it's peculiarities.

The interesting thing about writing is that you do not have to actually experience the events you are writing about in order to write about them. Writers who write about sci-fi have never been on a interplanetary space ship before, yet they can still write about it. If you want to write you simply have to do two things, read a lot and write a lot. You will pick up dialogue through reading and it will reflect in your writing. Are you reading? Why not? Don’t make bullet points about your writing just start writing. Let your stream of consciousness come out on the page and you can make it pretty in the second draft.

I need to write a public policy essay for university and all of the topics are such neoliberal tripe. My eyes are rolling into the back of my head reading them. The essay is meant to be in response to a variety of Foreign Policy articles from the last year with topics like "The United States is facing a demographic crises, we can stay ahead by importing another 50 million Guatemalans", or "Climate Change is the Apocalypse, but Private Companies may Provide the Solution!" or better yet, "Covid-19 is Here to Stay Because our Draconian Policies Didn't Work; That's Why we Have to be TWICE as Severe when the Next Strain Emerges!"

And I fucking know my prof is a neoliberal who would give me a shit grade for setting any record straight and I need him for an academic reference just kill me

Maybe a German name. Anaheim comes to mind. Throw in a Heim or a Berg onto some standard name. Relate it maybe to geography. Riverview or Mountainview.

poor monke :(

I can't live but I can't die either.

>>19338750
Purgatory, I feel ya.

>>19338750
why can't you live?

I've been fucking a female-to-male transgender under the pretense of being homosexual but really it's becoming harder to see him as a twink and not a cute girl with a moustache

>>19338826
I have no clear plan in life. Everything has lost its appeal a long time ago. And if I were to change my current situation I could mess everything up even worse.

>>19338684
Hmmm why the choice for German? Genuinely curious. The story does have a river that separates the boarders.

>>19338890
Imma let you in on a little secret. No one has a clear path in life. No one. Sure they say they do and they pretend to know what the fuck they’re doing but no one actually knows. As for the other stuff, too vague to comment on.

>>19338890
>And if I were to change my current situation I could mess everything up even worse.
life is swings and roundabouts brah, you can’t foresee dramatic change. give life a try. anything can happen, trust me.

I have eaten too many sweets and have a headache!

spent the last 18 months chasing anti-institutional literature and abandoning the professional identity I built for myself now I am in a high paying corporate job with clever corporate middle aged adults. I gave into the chaos. why did I do this to myself?

A friend invited me to go clubbing, should I go? I have never danced for a minute in my life, but I've barely been out of my room for the last 6 months.

Is there any reason to live if you don't want to raise a family?

/sci/ won't respond to my qualia thread...

Lmao the chase for prestige and power is absolutely turning me insane. On the one hand its deadly serious and on the other it's so hilariously banal in terms of rewards (except the free-time). Ive grown to hate all my peers and despite my past efforts to enlighten, I now seek only to drain them for being so stupid. I will get on top of the other bodies and kick.

>>19339110
yes but make sure to pound a couple drinks before going. walking into a loud club stone cold sober is an awful experience. also grab as many women's asses as possible, sexual assault is basically legal in a club.

>>19339110
Nobody at a club knows how to dance, anon

>>19333486
Fuck Hegel, what do you mean there was a shift?

This aquaintanc e at the bar qho i always give rigs to gave me some weed as a thank you presejtb for my generosity. I want to smoke it so bad but i cant.....,.,...clown world. Im sure its great wee too.

I'm new to my city and all the friends I made are dudes from the skate park. All good people but I wish I had someone to discuss Bolaño with and shit.

>>19339414

>>19339498
DUDE

>>19338905
Lots of german immigrants settled in that area. Its still majority german to this day. Used to be a particular dialect of german unique to that area even recently

>>19339110
those people can't dance, they just get drunk or high so that they no longer feel shameful and shake themselves in an attempt to get some guy or gal to fuck them

>>19339110
Do you like crowded places, flashing lights, and really loud noises?

I just finished The Secret History and while I loved the book, the ending felt super unsatisfying, but I guess that's the point

i might take a nap

>>19339590
IM GONNA SMOKW WEED TONIGHT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>19339818
Can’t you control your addictions?

>>19339840
Addicts, rarely, if ever, have any control.

>>19339840
First of all, it was a joke. Second of all, wouldn't "addiction" imply difficultly controlling substance abuse

>>19339895
Isn’t that what you have though?

>>19339895
I mean, you keep smoking weed and you want to stop but can't.

The paintbrush of history is trauma.

>>19339895
I think its time you seek help and rehab, xi jinping. It's unhealthy.

>>19339913
And why do you say that?

Just pull over and let other people, locals, do it

Nihilism and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I keep thinking about how fucked the demographics of the west are, and how our goverments have basically given up on us and decided to replace us with low iq cheap 3rd worlders

>>19331186
I feel the effects of age deteriorating whatever little intelligence I had left. Stress, expectations, the fear of repeat failure, and unexpected curveballs have all rendered me into an intellectually stunted person.
