Isolation, stress, and fear. I am stewing in my drunk impotent aimless anger and it feels good. It feels like I've noticed myself drifting away from the shore and decided to paddle alone over the horizon. I feel like a lean dog straining and snapping at a taught chain. I can feel the scowl on my face and distain in my eyes when I look at people and I don't want to project that, but it's taking a constant conscious effort. I am wound up tighter than a ten day clock and I need to relax. I am tense, and vigilant, and alone.

>get recommendations for a "life-changing" book, film, or video game
>consoom it
>fail to see what is so "life-changing" about it
Anyone else? I'm not saying I've never been deeply touched by a piece of media before, but I don't think I've ever consoomed one that completely changes my worldview.

Once a book has been read, it’s up to you and your agency to make the “life changes”. Books are not magic spells

I'm typically a by the book sort of guy. I don't drink or smoke. I get good grades, don't care for breaking rules. Pretty religious, thought I was gonna stay a virgin until marriage.

Don't think so anymore. I'm not sure how to place it, it's the summer before my senior year and I realized good people sin. People I looked up to, potheads. A girl I had as the image of intelligence and purity, slept with my best friend.

Like I said, I'm a square. But recently I'd agreed to play beer pong with an acquaintance this weekend, To smoke with a friend and said girl(before I knew they fucked), I even told my GF that I wanted to fuck.

I've realized how much of a stick I've had up my ass, but at the same time I feel like I'm betraying my whole ego. The worst part is I don't really know why, I think it's necessary, it feels right.

But even then, life just lost a sort of firmness. I'm scared. Not of the outward consequences, but of who I risk becoming.

Et Tu Ego. Et Tu.

sounds like you need a vacation from whatever's stressing you out. maybe spend some time with someone you actually like, provided some such person is available to you. also, i've found that when i feel disgusted at others it's usually because i'm ashamed or disgusted with myself. i don't know you so idk, but it's something to consider.

is there a reason you post a food picture in every wwoym thread? is this one these things that you think is going to increase engagement? i know traffic on /lit/ has been trending down, but i don't think there's any evidence that posting food pics works. food pics on instragram or twitter might get engagement, but i don't think traditional social really applies to 4chan. it just seems so callously commercial it kind of kills the "lol random" feel of 4chan, knowing they've hired social media pros or wannabe pros anyways to try to drive engagement especially with sad tactics like that.

>>20470325
it's been a while, but i think i remember at some point in the phaedo when socrates said that misandry is caused by an initial tendency to trust everyone. when that trust is repeatedly betrayed—since people are usually not perfect—the trusting person steadily becomes bitter and eventually radically unwilling to trust others. it sounds to me like something similar might be going on here; if this is true, you should know that the people you idolized are not such wicked sinners as they might seem to you. it's simply that they aren't perfect either. idolizing people is almost always a recipe for getting burnt by reality.
i think it'd be unwise to transform yourself into someone you don't admire on account of the realization that those people aren't the ideal people they appeared to be. that being said, it's probably not going to kill you to dip your toes into the water a little. just don't go too far or you could easily end up with some pretty big regrets.

This ai stuff is gud

>>20470393
Thank you. I appreciate the warning, I will tread lightly.

Thinking about all the people I knew when I was growing up, mostly my friends, and how they're all probably doing better now than I am. They were doing better than me back then, too. It's surreal how I was a perpetual loser all my life. Part of it was circumstances out of my control, but part of it were choices I made when I was young.

I wish I could go back with all my memories and avoid every mistake I made but at the same time I don't want to relive any of the trauma I went through as a kid. It still just feels unfair, though, how as a kid your brain isn't developed and you want to do little kid stuff but the choices you make as a kid can still have a massive impact on your life in your later years.

It's also surreal how simple everything is when you're a kid but you don't see it that way. I beat myself up over not making the right choices as a kid but maybe I'm more of a victim to circumstance than I think. Or maybe that's just cope. But I never really had a father figure, my dad would travel a lot and eventually my parents divorced. If I had a present dad maybe I would've faired better as an adolescents. I never had anyone teach me how to talk to women or groom myself or anything like that so I was always a jealous ugly incel since middle school. I taught myself how to groom myself with the internet but I still can't talk to women. Seeing all my crushes get picked up by guys who had parents that taught them hygiene and social skills should've given me a clue, but all it did was make me bitter and hate myself. I never had anyone tell me how important study habits are. My mom would yell at me, ground me, and beat me for not doing well in school but she never gave me a good reason to do good in school other than "it makes her look like a bad parent". In hindsight she certainly was. So I just did the bare minimum to avoid upsetting her. But now that I'm in college I have no work ethic and I'm falling behind and may not be able to pay for classes. Makes me wish that I made good habits and took a bunch of AP classes and got good grades so I could breeze through college. But I never had anyone to tell me I should look that far in the future. I just spent my days hiding in my room playing video games.

cont.

I had friends who cared about me, or they were at least concerned for me, but I don't think I was ever really fun to hangout with. I think my friends either kept me around because they felt bad for me or they kept me around because they would have no friends if it weren't for me. I was one of the poorer kids at my school, and my friends could probably tell because I could never keep up with the new video games and consoles and I never got my own car. I would often be the last person to get invited to my friends' birthday parties, and I was usually there in place of someone else who couldn't come. I wouldn't get invited over their house to play as much because I lived further away from everyone else in the poor part of town, and even when they did invite me my parents were both at work so I had no way of getting to their house. So I never hung out much with anyone, and that further stunted my social skills.

So this makes me wonder, how much of my situation is my fault? My circumstances isolated me. But as a kid, how much accountability do I have when it comes to keeping myself off the internet and going outside to get social skills and doing my homework and teaching myself how to look good? I certainly have the accountability to make up for that stuff now, and I'm trying, but did I gimp myself as a kid or was it out of my control? Did other kids who were poor and had shitty parents get the memo? It seemed like some of the other poor kids at my school had lots of friends and girlfriends and could look good, but they also failed classes without their parents to properly motivate them. It just enrages and depresses me. There was a possibility to get my shit together as a kid, and I regret not doing that, but at the same time I was a kid. Can you really expect a kid to teach themselves study habits, social skills, hygiene, how to get a job, how to get a girlfriend, and all that even in the age of the internet? Was I supposed to do that? If so, I don't think I'll ever forgive myself. But if my circumstances are what screwed me over, I don't think I'll ever stop cursing the world.

>>20470449
Okay, then if you have so much agency and influence: why don't you hire me so I can have money so I can have the agency to control my life? I mean if it's all self-directed and we have our own destiny in our own hands then clearly this is easy for you. So, pay me mister agency! What online job can I do for you. See I'm not tied to the post, so this is going to work jut like you said it will because you're not a liar. Pay me.

Recently I have started to develop an emotional devotion to my country's history (the UK). I suppose this is normal but years of globohomo history 'teaching' originally led me (and most of our generation) to disregard our history and be a citizen of the world.

Reading the history of your people makes you realise just how fucking lucky we are. We truly live on the shoulders of giants and not even as fully fledged people. We are nothing compared to our ancestors, we are like lice or mites. We truly deserve everything we get.

>>20470801
It's honestly absurd how many people are historically illiterate. Strangely enough a lot of those people obsess over the lore of their favorite franchise but can't be bothered to learn about the history of their own world. It's baffling how politically opinionated they can be when they don't even know the cause and effects of significant events in their own country's history. A nation is something truly sacred, and its upsetting how a nation can get defaced just because of a poor understanding of history.

i hated Dougie.
like he was funny for an episode. then two, ok. i thought he would be gone by the third but not, it was Dougie all the fucking time. Dougie drinking coffee, dougie being wacky, Dougie having sex and making funny faces. Dougie robbed me of seeing Dale Cooper and i can't forgive him that.

You can meet women almost anywhere, meeting COMPATIBLE women is the trick and varies on what particular kind of weirdo or normie you are.

>>20470948
Incel here. Never understood why "compatibility" is a big deal. Can't you just beat/rape your wife/gf until she acts the way you want?

>>20470966
They're not your gf yet are they?
But let me give you an analogy, you're looking for a guy to build the cabinets of your rape dungeon, there's two guys who are polar opposites who are available to do the job.
Carpenter 1 will work within your budget, has expertise of rape dungeons, and is willing to start right away.
Carpenter 2 wants more money but you can probably persuade him, has never built a rape dungeon before, and says that it will be a 6 week wait before he starts.
Which one would you pick? The rational choice would be Carpenter 1. He is more compatible.
But also, if you were such an expert at rape you wouldn't be an incel in the first place you silly goose.

The problem with me is that I am a divided individual— I had a childhood of happiness and comfort, followed by an adolescence ravaged by identity crises, questionable role models, and mental health issues. So now in my adulthood I am that species of asshole that is really nice and friendly when you meet him, as a result of a foundation of having been a well adjusted child, but beneath the surface does not give two shits about you as a result of a philosophy that everyone will leave me and ultimately the only thing I can depend on is myself.

i just wanted more Twin Peaks, more comfy forest town, weird stuff, bromance, interesting characters, the dinner, maybe a couple of murders, some more weird stuff. but there was none of it. it was completely different and did not feel like Twin Peaks at all. i mean, except some characters with very little screen time, they could have just changed the name and made a weird show and it would have been the same.

I spend a LOT of time on /his/ debating Marxists. I am beginning to feel it's a waste of time. Today I went out of my way to avoid Marxist threads, and read some stuff I've been meaning to read. I studied a subject I actually enjoy rather than reading Mao/Marx/Trotsky/etc. I feel I would be happier if I stopped arguing with Marxists on this site. But then I also feel that if we don't debate and disprove them, their ideology will grow stronger, until enough people buy into it to put all our lives in danger. What is to be done?

>>20471051
Unfathomably based. Marvin Minsky did the same thing. In one of his lectures I think he quotes Anis Nin, and then straight away asks his students
>I haven't read anything of hers, is she any good?
That is until you realize it's the same technique of the nerdy sensitive guy in high-school who grew into a disinterested 'sociopathic' guy who all the girls fawn over, masking his sensitivity with a cold rock'n'roll sneer of feigned indifference that makes him irresistible to girls with low self esteem.

Firstly, they're irrational, so you can't debate them. Secondly, actually reading that mind poison is what they want to bait you into doing, so they defeated you. Thirdly, only bullets stop Marxism.

>>20471335
No.

>>20471141
How did you not come to that conclusion after your first debate? It's literally pointless in every case. First principle: only argue with people who have the same basic guiding principle, but who have different views, yet still want to constructively find an answer according to said guiding principle. That way the debate, even if it gets heated, will always be aimed in the direction of mutual self-betterment and discovery of new knowledge, and no one will have a reason to cling to any particular assertion. Any argument that is about that guiding principle, which tends to be the case with Marxism, is an argument not worth getting involved in unless you're happy with mere polemics, because that's what it comes down to in the end. I've never had a worthwhile debate where both sides of the argument didn't agree upon a guiding principle, which is not to say that even these debates always turn out well.

I used to and probably still unconsciously believe this, but that's just your ego. A messiah complex. You believe that you actually have the agency, be it the persuasive skills or the inscrutable reasoning, to manage to change their mind. Now I'm not saying I have the same capacity as reasoning and persuasion as you, I don't know you and you, but chances are you're much more persuasive than I am. However even the most serpentine smoothtalking silver tongued persuader is still going to be facing an uphill battle against such debates.
There is no amount of skill or agency any one person has to stem this insidious and toxic ideological tide. And while noble it's also foolish to try.
>>20471346
This anon is right, but people being people even if they start with a intent of learning and constructively engaging in debate around some principle can dig their heels in and become recalcitrant and antagonistic. Depending on how things go.

>>20471375
>I used to and probably still unconsciously believe this, but that's just your ego. A messiah complex.
Very dumb. Saying people have a messiah complex for trying to help is ridiculous. He even said he's worried about his life. What an idiotic conclusion. Don't do anything to protect yourself and your loved ones, you're not messiah!

>>20470233
When you really think about it, excruciation and execution are the only just forms of punishment fit for criminals.

There are some who disagree and think that you should never punish a criminal. That punishment inflicted in cold blood is worse than any crime committed. There may be justice in that but it would destroy society itself as no one would feel safe. What's more, people would eventually decide to take justice into their own hands and we'd return to the days of stoning and burning against people who may as well have offended their sensibilities.

Others say that our criminals should not be tortured but be made to work for the good of society. But such labor is unfair competition to the honest worker. Also, that corrupted workforce would usually need the encouragement of the lash in order to get any work done, and what is that if not torture again?

Others still say that criminals should not be punished but instead confined in prisons where they are treated "humanely" and all their needs are met. But people who live such safe lives usually live long lives. And each life of a criminal is one that drains society's wealth, some part of which comes from the victims. Nordic countries reward murderers with security and longevity.

>>20471390
Punishment is and will probably remain an open problem for as long as humanity exists.

Beckett, Borges, pinecone, Melville. For non fiction I'd have to cop out and just say "the presocratics," which is a bit of a shit answer. But I vividly remember getting Kirk & Raven's "The Presocratic Philosophers" as a teen and excitedly flipping through the book. Land on a random page and just be lost in it. Seeing the Greek there too somehow made it feel more like I was "talking" with a contemporary. Only other thing that's come close is the sheer, unrelenting /comfy/ of Descartes.

In the middle of the night, a fire broke out all around them and had come to take away their precious belongings. They looked on at the burning flesh of their homestead quite comfortably from the neighbors' until the morning came. They experienced nothingness, all around them. Awashed with guilt, they drowned themselves even further in alcohol at the local pub. Drinks are free for the talk of the town, and the foremen join the town priest in a eulogy song. No one remembers the lyrics anymore, and so they all mumble homophones in a slurred debasement of music and language: "Aah heugh wough ugh reeuh. Feh hurugh agh ballet geehr."

investigations can commence into the specific court case if it was proven to be wrong. Judge may have to defend himself or suffer punishment in turn. The error rate is so abysmally low either way.
There's something to be said about the state of modern lawyers in this but I'm not willing to give my thoughts on that
I'll add that one way to prevent murder is to allow public dueling and a return to some honor system. But again, I'm definitely asking too much of humanity

I hate how subjective prose is. Makes it hard to get feedback, and even harder to judge it for myself. Even worse, I have a couple of different prose styles and can't remain consistent between them. Poetry may be the most deconstructed literary medium, but at least there is a measure of quality when a poet decides to adhere to some of the now often-ignored rules. My (admittedly humble) aspirations as a writer require me to practice prose, but I have increasingly more respect for poetry. Perhaps I should look into prose poetry.

How does punishing the judge help the family who lost their innocent son? Compensation won't bring him back and people will resent the murderous system, not a random judge. But from your dueling suggestion it sounds like you're a child, so you don't know any better.

>>20471487
First, you are assuming they lost their son(always men...) and that he was not just put to excrutiation. People wont resent the system depending on the culture. Mistakes do happen but in this case they are abysmally low and each mistake can be learned from to prevent another.
in either case, you've done nothing to suggest that punishment should not be pursued at all, or that our current system of rewarding criminals with comfort is any good

>>20471487
Also, bold of you to say that I am a child. Were the countless cultures that came before us just entirely composed of children?

change is alchemical; epiphanies and instant gratification are nonsense, and anyone selling them is a charlatan. genuine changes in your mental state happen subconsciously through a lengthy process of osmosis, and it's not until a rather significant amount of time has passed that you realise how profound an effect something has had on you.

/mu/ used to be my main board back in the day, but when pitchfork sold to conde nast i think they stopped having people post threads on /mu/, like remember the "it's pitchfork oclock" threads right before new reviews got posted etc? after they sold, those stopped which stopped influencing people's taste for the better. i still maintain that pitchfork sucks, but it's better than the kpop marketing that /mu/ is all about now.

>>20471763
they range from less than a page. don't remember to what but anything from that to novella I'm sure. I read a collection from penguin india once and fell completely in love with him.

i wouldn't say i'm a "good" poster, but i do read and have some art and humanities related degrees, but the reason i post way less is because a year or two ago, they started this new moderation style where they just mass ban anyone in a deleted thread. before that i wouldn't even look at the ops, i'd just be scrolling around and see some hot take and just slam the reply button and stream straight from my subconscious directly to 4chan. after the moderation changes, i now have to review the op to make sure it doesn't violate any rules or is off-topic or something, which creates this slight delay in posting. and once this delay in your interaction is introduced, you start to think not only "is this thread going to get nuked" but also "do i really care about this topic?" and "is there anything new to say about this topic?" etc. and then most of the time after a second or two of that, my urge to post subsides. it's actually pretty great because it makes the site way less addictive and i spend a lot less time here, but yeah, if i had been contributing any content of value, i'm certainly doing it a lot less.

I cried so hard last night that my head hurts now. I kind of like it. At least it’s not emotional pain. I’m such a tortured wounded butterfly. It’s a wonder some kindred spirited man hasn’t fallen in love with me yet. Doesn’t he know I’m more interesting than “nothing bad has ever happened to her” Rebecca? And I’m pretty so wtf. Tumblr lied to 14 year old me when it made me think people would find my wounds and dysfunctions romantic and here I am years later still internalizing that impression as if it’ll be true

I'm trying to figure out how far back I need to go before wokeness didn't leak into modern fiction. I read a book published in 2002 that would have current trannies reeling but was totally accurate in describing transsexuals and crossdressing for the late 90s.

Think I'm realizing how boring other people are.

Always zoned out, got lost in my imagination and fantasy whenever I hung out with friends. Think I realize I have nothing in common with any of them. That's not to sound pretentious, they're just dull people and somewhat anti-intellectual. They don't enjoy literature or art in the same way, they waste a lot of time arguing and picking fights with one another.

Sometimes I'm down about it, but what do people truly have to offer? Most of them offer nothing at all. In my opinion, if you're on /lit/, you're probably more interesting than half the population. And I doubt anything is truly wrong with you guys

Just bought a book of Irish myth and sagas, as well as Lafcadio's "In Ghostly Japan". They look like they have the seeds of fantastical emanations... I do think both Irish and Japanese myth/monsters could be written about more, as I don't really know enough about them yet (until the books arrive).

>Can you really expect a kid to teach themselves study habits, social skills, hygiene, how to get a job, how to get a girlfriend, and all that even in the age of the internet? Was I supposed to do that? If so, I don't think I'll ever forgive myself. But if my circumstances are what screwed me over, I don't think I'll ever stop cursing the world.

It's not fair but it's doable. I was in the exact same situation as you except my parents were divorced and I saw my dad a few weeks a year. My mother wasn't at home most of the time and my brothers never interacted with me so I was on my own for everything except food and occasionally clothing for about 13 years starting the divorce of my parents at 9.

I learned how to clean myself due to a traumatism (didn't wipe correctly/didn't like to wipe as a kid, got very painful inflammations and learned I had to take a shower after every toilet session etc). I didn't pay attention to grooming until I saw a kid with a unibrow and saw my mother use tweezers.
For the social skills, I always was some kind of extrovert-introvert mix. I didn't like to meet new people but I could pretend I was fine. I didn't learn from anyone, only by trial and error and observing others. I knew what I didn't want to be and that was enough to sustain basic social interactions. (still awkward in certain moments though)

I didn't have any study habits and didn't know how to study until the 2nd year of my Bachelor in college. I was never helped to do my homeworks and was absent in most of my school years, preferring to play videogames because I couldn't handle the divorce of my parents and my mother didn't care. Still, I just forced myself to do the bare minimum because I was told that everyone has to study to get a better life. Internet and Youtube online classes helped. Didn't know what job I wanted until the very end of my Bachelor year.

Again, same shit for the job. I only learned how to do a proper CV and write letters because I saw other people's CVs on LinkedIn and researched on internet how to write for an internship correctly. It wasn't immediately perfect but after a year or so I could produce very decent applications for internships and jobs. Same shit for interviews, people on forums have the best advices.

For girlfriends, I had an interest in girls since very young and liked to talk to them. Still I had no confidence and was basically an incel at the time so my first girlfriend happened to be the ugliest and definitely one of the craziest girls in middle school. The whole relationship was defining in the way I saw the world and acted in all my others romantic relationships. I did all the mistakes that were possible to do except cheating, saw her do the same and learned.

You are still alive, anon, and you can still learn. You aren't guilty of not knowing and I don't know the whole circumstances of your existence but most of the problems you have can be solved by reading stuff and applying them.

>>20470475
None of it is your fault. Not saying that to give you any excuse (by all means keep working on self-improvement), but I mean you shouldn't feel guilty about any of it

You only learn what you were taught and what you grew up around. Most people have their parents teach them and act as a guide. In fact, the behaviorists didn't believe in free will at all. They believed people were the direct product of their environment. Therefore if you raise a kid in an awful disastrous mess then he's obviously going to be farther behind as an adult

Again not trying to say there's no free will either or give you an out. It's just complicated. A lot of your bad habits were taught to you or conditioned into you. Especially if your parents beat you

Seems sensible, but that’s why it’s not going to happen. Land owners want the most bang for their buck/acreage and government is locked solid with the two (one) party system of lackeys, so no such reforms are allowed. Not till the whole thing is dismembered from the bottom up.

Trust towards a person I love has been broken and I am having a difficult time rebuilding it. I felt broken like that many times in the past, but I feel this is the person I want to spend life with, and it feels such a waste that what she did brought us to this situation (no cheating involved)

My fear is that a violent revolution will happen in the next 10 years if something is not done. Considering my boomer landlord parents would be targeted in such an event, I want to avoid it. I've tried to convince them to sell their rentals to avoid being targeted when the Marxists take over, which I think will happen soon.

Bros I'm feeling deep and unhappy feelings right now

>>20473247
>when the Marxists take over, which I think will happen soon
inshallah

I think I have assburgers

>>20473247
bro..there are at most around 100,000 "marxists" in the united states. in the event of real SHTF unrest, the amount that will walk the walk bolshevik-style (seizing property, imposing terror, summary executions) is microscopic. maybe they'll get a couple of tens of thousands of immigrants, crackheads, hobos and general troublemakers to go with them. good luck organizing people who can't even control their bladder. that's it. they have nothing to threaten you with. not the people, not the elites, and they sure as shit don't have the cops or the military. they're not taking over shit. you and your boomer landlord folks can sleep safely knowing that most people will defend their mortgages and credit card debts till the end. "stop consume product" is the biggest no-no of our age

>>20473247
The Secret services have tons of info on everyone. The violence in the coming years is going to be either more orchestrated repression like 2020 or more openly fascist. The leftists or the Marxist variety still won’t be allowed ale to get into office.
Owning “private property” like Black Rock, Warren Buffet and others do is the root of the problem. Personal property owners would be left alone. But seriously how much free money do your parents get from rent? Would it be so bad that they unite with the locals to replace that loss of capitalist revenue?

>>20473287
>Owning “private property” like Black Rock, Warren Buffet and others do is the root of the problem. Personal property owners would be left alone.
I know Marxists draw a line between personal and private property but like I said, I would like small businesses, mom-and-shop stuff to be a thing. A world with no giant corporations but where one can run a bookstore or 3d printing lab or whatever, that's my ideal. I imagine the government would swoop in and break up anything too big.

>But seriously how much free money do your parents get from rent? Would it be so bad that they unite with the locals to replace that loss of capitalist revenue?
They roughly the same if not a little more from their jobs (software) as they do via rent. I think it's an emotional thing for them. We've lived in every home they own, it's just that they literally can't bring themselves to sell when we've moved, even when it was the economically wise choice. So they rent it out.

>The violence in the coming years is going to be either more orchestrated repression like 2020 or more openly fascist. The leftists or the Marxist variety still won’t be allowed ale to get into office.
Maybe I spend too much time on sites like WSWS or marxists.org. I feel like Marxists are the big threat, and like Mao said, fascists are paper tigers.

What's with the whole "baby milk formula" situation in the United States that I keep seeing on the news but not reading about? Don't american mothers produce milk by themselves? Aren't they mammals too? Does the Bible says they can't breastfeed for some sexual reason? Why was only a single factory producing all the milk formula if all the babies need it?

Well I took on a construction job that I was totally unprepared for. I'm totally fucking it up. Oh well

>>20473341

For me it's novels about Christian knights in power armor slaying demons and necromancers with Berserk-sized swords and .50 cal revolvers in a post-apocalypse America.

>>20473373
What book?

>>20473383
my diary desu

>>20473341
Producing milk doesn't happen every time, sometimes the hormone mechanism fails. Or the mother can't breastfeed cause she is on chemo or similar treatment and all that stuff ends up in milk.
And sometimes babies are allergic to proteins in milk. I was too, mom told me I would break out in rash after every meal, cry like crazy and wasn't gaining much weight. So my parents had to feed me with a special formula a doctor advised.
The problem with the factory reminds me of a documentary I watched some years ago, it was about meat production in USA among other things. Because of monopoly, the entirety of USA ended up covered by only a very small number meat factories, so they have to handle huge batches of meat every day and were in greater risk of contaminated meat reaching many homes.

Why can't I get into poetry? It can be beautiful of course but poems never stay with me the way a story or novel does. Am I just stupid?

Sometimes I think the /lgbt/ people and some of the discord trannies are ironically closer to concepts of divine heavenly love then the people who spam le 41% kill yourself stuff. I'm not trying to underestimate the sins associated with that, but many of them crave love and have a greater awareness and desire for concepts like eternal peace and love.. some of them (not the hardcore degens) even purity. It's just misdirected. Do you agree / how does this connect to things you know?

big dicks will rule the world

>>20473477
No not at all. Trannies are totally carnal. Their concept of beauty never transcends the vulgar. To them, everything is bodily. They corrupt and confused, they self mutilate, and degrade their form. A tranny's first and foremost disposition is hate for himself. From self hate, no love is possible

>>20473477
My faith does not say "LGBT = sinful", so I don't have the same view of homosexuality as being sinful. It is hard for me to see how someone who cheers on the suicides, oppression, and misery of others is in any way loving towards those people. "41%" posters seem sadistic to me, even though I acknowledge most don't actually want transpeople to kill themselves and are just being offensive.

>>20473502

Castello's cock was snug as a bug in a rug between the chubby vulval folds of the young girl and the crotch of her too-tight knickers beneath. He moaned in irrepressible pleasure as his cock disgorged its essence in spasms of pressure and pleasure that seemed to exceed a minute to exhaust. All the while he had been pressing the demi-sedated child closely against him as he blush and sweated and moaned in his own trance-like ecstacy. After conclusion of his eruption (a white oleaginous explosion barely contained by the child's now thoroughly sodden knickers) he lay there, with his back against the love chair. His face glistened with an aura of salutary sweat, as if himself half drugged, as the rhythm of his breathing registered an almost innocent, child-like satisfaction.

Any recommendations for this? I'd love there to be a series based around the Viking invasion of England, but set in a universe where the same events took place but in a world with fantasy elements such as magic and monsters. There are so many great characters from that point in history (Alfred the Great being my favourite) and the two opposing cultures and religions could be represented by two different magic systems. Chuck in some dragons, orcs, maybe some dwarves to replace Scotland and it'd be fucking great.

Only the royal family and their wealth or do the people of UK somehow pay for all that stuff too?

>>20474390
I have no clue why the Brits haven't given the monarchs the boot

>>20474392
>>20474390
considering how much money the government wastes the monarchy isnt an issue for me

Makes me feel impatient. There was really no point in doing that.

>>20474359
It made me feel nervous. Like I wasnt supposed to be listening. I also have noise canceling headphones on so I could really feel the blood pumping. Unnerving. Gory. I'm going to keep listening.

Fresh from my diary. (please excuse the reddit spacing. I'm keeping it in this post to preserve the authenticity of the entry)

Am I naïve ? Or just straight up dumb ?

Why did I agree to go on that date with ***** and sleep with him after he had that sketchy shit going on with that lady ?

Did I think I could just have fun with him and he'd make it easy to leave it at that ?
Did I think that if he didn't make it easy I could easily say and assert what I wanted ?

I was doing SOOO good. A lot of shit was thrown at me all at once, but why did I let it throw me off like this ?
Was it a matter of being kind to myself to slow down and heal or was it a matter of resigning to the darkness and giving up ? I hate how hard life is. Why can't I just have a big fat trust and true love with a richass man and just get high in a cabana all day and do nothing.

You got filtered.

it ends with him being a whore. not in a good way. that's what it comes down to. he's just a whore, which he had really testified to but even speaking with dignity.. it comes back to that. don't know what to make of that. maybe I should avoid him.

dumb slut

>>20474496
well did u think a guy with standards and ethics was going to hit on someone like you? i mean really.

>>20474496
Is he hot and big dicked
What did you see in him that apparently many, many, MANY others saw ?

Aim small, miss small.

>>20474392
Have you seen their parliament? Taking power from the monarchy and house of lords was a huge mistake

>>20474449
Oh you're the Nevada anonette. I'm still open to having a toxic codependent relationship with you.

>>20474599
You again
I was hoping you'd make a throwaway platform to iron out connecting with eachother

>>20474449
I desperately need a bratty wife/gf

my American gf lives in Nevada planning on visiting her in autumn

I'm a mistake, I should never have been.

I suppose that is the wisdom. You hone in on a detail and you think "this is an outrage! what an evil thing to do!" and you're all busy with how horrible she is and everything and then it spins back to your fault and they're all evil and everything and you miss the entire point:

the point is that the whole fucking affair is an outrage. Looking at details is entirely backwards. it just takes time. all of it is evil. it is evil taken as a whole.

baka desu senpai

How is pride going for you?

Send me a screencap of your (You)s

a blogpost for the blogposting thread
>talk to girl for a month and a half, go on 5 good dates
>goes on vacation for 2 weeks to meet her female friend
>texts to me become incredibly infrequent halfway through
>says she'd love to go out for drinks in the week after she gets back
>comes back, ghosts me for a week
>apologizes, says she's in a bipolar slump and she isn't ready for a relationship
>updates her dating profile, now says she is bisexual
Why would she ghost me for a week and then break things off instead of just doing so right when she got back?
This wouldn't hurt so much if it weren't for getting cheated at the end of my last relationship (4 years), and then having to suspect that she cheated on me too with a woman this time
Fucking hedgehog dilemma bullshit

bit rude innit

My dad is such a depressing and gloomy person. I don't hate him or anything like that but when you are around him for too long it becomes exhausting.

>>20474713
I am exactly like him so I just avoid people for as much as possible, but I don't think it's really an uncommon trait for 4chan posters

>>20474724
Thats called a viscous cycle anon

I feel the same way with fascism too though. Marxists will destroy and bankrupt a nation, and fascism will kill and destroy minority groups. I have some minority friends, wouldn't want them to be harmed.

>>20474849
I ultimately consider fascists to be paper tigers, that will be easily defeated the moment they get out of line. Biden could end fascism in America tomorrow if he wanted too. Marxists, on the other hand, are a dangerous enemy indeed.

>>20474849
>>20474854
The issues are more thorny and complicated than that.
Biden is a neoliberal and that’s one goose step away from fascism. Same with the neocons (Nuland, McCain others supported this Ukraine op just as much)
Nationalism is as much a paper tiger as the woke tards on the synthetic left. Both are confused as to how much they look alike. Same with the statist Marxist-Leninists/Trots etc. “freedom through authoritarianism” is just Obvious Orwellian nuspeak as always.
Mass deprogramming is needed

>Biden is a neoliberal and that’s one goose step away from fascism.
Wut? Neolibs love minorities

>>20474359
that was pretty autohomoerotic.
i'm horny now.

>>20474901
Like Obama? A Reagan level Republican that starts multiple wars, drone bombs civilians, mass deportation, mass incarceration.
Like BLM? They were about getting cops to reform, but have now been infiltrated and bought out.
The US uses its racists to keep a modern Terror game going to obscure the class war. Meantime they simply bring different races and women into the fold. Hillary, Madeleine Albright. The white supremacy is muted, naturally, because there are Jewish nationalists at work here too.
Another name for fascism is corporatism.

Woke up early today. Right as the sun rose. Made me realise just how much time one gets if they get up early.

>>20474926
Interesting, noted.

Sometimes I forget women's perspective exists

It's pathetic how you cowards let theses threads float just under the limit because you wont get any eyes on your posts. Instead we should just kill the damn thread with a burst of death comments around the 300 mark.

>>20475162
yeah i've noticed a lot of fake posts pretending to be women validating sad men, like on /fit/ if some guy posts his moobs or says he's short someone pretend to be a woman will post and say some absurd shit like you deserve love and are a worth person, like give me a break lol. i think it's some kind of deradicalization psyop.

>true love with a richass man
It's already not true love then, if you just want his money.
In Russian we have a saying that goes something like "if you want to be the wife of a general, you have to marry a lieutenant"
You picking up what I'm putting down?
