Surely you haven't missed out on high school romance and sex, Anon?

>>20475276
How could it be that I was born 40 years after my soulmate? Explain yourself now God.

Get out, Humbert

>>20475284
i only attended high school for a year and was absent most of the time, but i got some from local stoner chicks that hung in my college town anyways.

>>20475293
Hopefully this will encourage more to move on and grow up

>>20475287
Some other Kate with a bush, anon.

>>20475276
I just know you are from tumblr, or from any other social media site that's been praising Kate Bush recently because of Stranger Things. Maybe I have interacted with you before in one of these places. The real litmus test to distinguish between larpers and true compatriots is asking what her best song is. If their answer is something like "Ohmygod I love running up that hill it spoke to me and has great vibes" you already have your answer, because "Babooshka" is her best song.

>>20475301
who invited this dork

>>20475300
Who is this latex angel of lust. I will send it to this kpop obsessed girl I know.

still feel shame to the thought of admiting I have sexual desires

>>20475276
>kate b*sh + stranger things
Peak reddit stuff

>>20475301
dude, the last couple posts in the last thread were about kate bush and stranger things. get a load of this hardcore kate bush stan lmao

>>20475301
I actually just heard about it. I’ve only seen season one and don’t own a tv.
Love Kate Bush from way back though. Stop obsessing with anger and hatred, ya drip.

>>20475305
I just strolled in, Babooshka is her best work though. Wuthering heights comes after. The MV's for them were significantly better too.

Last night a girl told me that I don't seem like the capitalist type. We weren't even really talking about capitalism or anything. I wonder why she said that.

>>20475311
Why shame? Religiously indoctrinated?

>>20475314
Nothing in my post implied me being angry aniki, aside from the word larper. I hope that word isn't what made you type this out.

>>20475276
Today I went to a store I've never been to before. I spoke with the cashier and other patrons. COVID isolation has ruined me lol, I feel so awkward when talking with strangers.

>>20475295
> Be 40 yrs younger than someone.
> Fall in love with them.

>>20475284
Never had sex in high school but I used to suck on my high school girlfriends tits and rub her pussy in full view of everyone at house parties. We'd sit on a couch in a friend's backyard and she would suck on my earlobes. But she was a but frigid and wouldn't let me hit. Embarrassing on my part in retrospect.

>>20475321
Shittest, all day everyday. She wanted to see how you'd react to bullshit. Hope you reacted in a good way.

>>20475293
/lit/ has been dead since 2014, we're just the latest generation of parasites feeding on the corpse

>>20475327
It's admireable to acknowledge you struggle with something and still continue on trying. I was a bit jittery too at first but the key to success js trying. Godspeed anon, and good luck

>>20475321
To give one plausible series of false equivalences:
Capitalist = Right wing = Anti-intellectual = Doesn't read

Disregard if you actually don't read

>>20475326
You are accusing me of being from some feared other site.

>>20475328
Nu-lit can’t count either.

is toxic positivity the new 4chan flavor of toxicity now? i see shit like this all the time. if i wanted to be told get rejected thousands of times and having a shitty life is good, i'd browse linkedin.

How do you negotiate with the anti-christ? Do threats of violence work? I feel like they would.

>>20475353
I said right after we might've interacted on those sites before. Never reddit though dw.

>>20475358
try taking your meds

>>20475366
No.

>>20475357
Maybe. I'm evil and have killed brown people for pay but I'm just saying that anon that having the lockdown jitter is ok. It's good to get out and normalize buying groceries till you don't feel uncomfortable being in public anymore.

>>20475322
Everyone in my family was catholic as I grew up. But they never went to church and I'm not baptized. By the age of 13 I wasn't religious at all. Anyway I grew up in a small town full of churches and religious people. The women of my family always talked about sex as if it was something concerning disgusting people. Pretty sure frigidity runs in my family. Can see it in my aunts, my mother, my sisters, etc.

>>20475369
>ex-military
>trying to deradicalize people

it IS a psyop i fuckin knew it man

>>20475378
You get it all wrong. You do military training, have some bland years in the Rif mountains, on the seas or the botswanese desert. Then when you get out you join up with a band. Much cozier that way and ever since the ukraine crisis pay is rising steadily. Still, be good and do good when it's white people. I want that anon to succeed at buying a loaf of bread, maybe a nice coke.

>>20475394
i'm not opposed to deradicalizing the real nuts, but some guy who has a panic attack buying a soda isn't a threat, no need to blow smoke up his ass

i feel marx since he never had a job missed that jobs are the real opium of the people. now that i have a full time job, i just go to work, come home, sit here until it's time to go back to work. money for food and stuff appears in my bank every two weeks. i guess if i were younger i'd try to get laid, but who gives a shit. when i was trying to survive on a part time job i was always doing something, reading, learning, working on some project. now i just wait until it's time to go back to work. i don't mind working, i mind that when i'm not working i don't care about anything.

>>20475409
True at some point we can only help ourselves. That being said I do wish everyone to enjoy a nice coke this weekend. Gonna open a can myself in just a sec. What I am drinking? Some imported med lemon drink. Pretty nifty.

For the first time in my life I feel that I might leave my religion, or at least attempt to integrate another religion into my life.

>>20475337
How is that a shit test?

I just post frogs to make the anti frog redditor seethe

>>20475462
If your convo wasn't even close to being about capitalists and she just said something weird out of the blue then it wqsmost likely a shittest. Women drop these things in convo to see how you will react. If you reacted weird or defensively you will have failed it. If you ignore it or joked with it then you passed. It usually goes something like that. Don't ask me why they do it tho lol.

I couldn't last 10 minutes of The Batman before I stopped watching.

>>20475460
If that's what ya feel is good then ya should. Hope you find some meaning.
>>20475504

Well I was just confused so I ignored it

i'm fascinated with humans i observe them like i would observe an ape. I no longer see the difference between humans and any other animals. I believe that apes are capable of having 99% of the ideas humans can have, they just can't make words and communicate their minds... I find the human body fascinating. We are like apes but our feet are long and our toes are useless vestigial characteristics, our long feet and achilles tendon and such are clearly adapted for running yet compared to other bipeds like ostrich or kangaroo we are poor runners, these other animals have one or two long toes and much stronger achilles tendon, they have less weight in the lower leg to reduce weight and the muscle for locomotion is moved up to the top... this indicates that humans are just an ape who very recently began walking across the savannah and we only just began to adapt to this as our running form is immature, yet we are still the only primates capable of true running and bipedal locomotion. physically we are a strange animal. we have words but when I observe humans in group I just see the same primitive social structure as apes. Our sexual selection culture is clearly animal, women prefer men with more skill, more power, the hunter who brings back the most meat. humans evolved from animals that were not predators of savannah animals into an animal that could hunt and kill animals larger than itself, through long and grueling hunts. our women therefore select men who are capable of delayed gratification. What's more, I now see our role in the ecosystem, and I see the role of invasive species in the ecosystem. Invasive species are not invasive and there are not many isolated ecosystems, there is one relatively stable global ecosystem that even benefits from local extinctions and invasions. I see myself as an ape and I sit in more natural postures, when relaxed I now allow my wrists to go limp like an ape... I see myself as an ape with a long foot. my bones, my muscle, I am an animal

i feel this sounds like the kind thing that an a.i. would output. it's like you can make out some of the lyrics, it's clearly sampling from some 90s rnb, but mixed in some heavy synth wobbles etc. it's human made, but the way the lyrics are recognizable not quite clear just seems so synthetic

>>20475571
Lol, are you proud of that?
>>20475584
I like reading, I also like shitposting and posting stupid frogs. Why cant tou respect that?

>>20475606
in that time i complete two degrees, what have you been doing?

>>20475562
For babooshka, she was inhabited by the spirit of Homer. True gargantuan epos displayed with the passion of a 1000 greek orators. For Endless sea/sky of honey, she called upon celtic forest nymphs and the Valkyries, inspiring her with their hunting songs. Both are good ofcourse. Im glad to call you brother. We could argue about which is better but at the end of the day the only question that is of any importance is "Why has God graced us with this tremendous beauty, a most talented and most exalted woman". And even then, it's best if we avoid questions like that, out of fear we might be heard and that she may be taken away from us.

When you filter Frater you find threads where there are 6 missing posts in a row because he has copy and pasted walls of reddit spaced narcissistic drivel and shitted up an entire fucking thread. What is that? Doesn't he have a wife and kids? Why the fuck does he feel the need to take up as much space as possible in threads and copy and paste shit he has written before that half the time has no relation to the topic at hand? He needs to fucking kill himself.

>>20475734
it's the only true path left for the existential superanimal become cerebral. it's the abstracted essence of human predation and therefore the ultimate atavism... it's focus which is mastery which is taking more and more of reality and mapping it into your brain thus bringing you closer to absolute and preverbal, beyond verbal truth. the five senses in tandem or one sense heightened to the utmost it does not matter, the mind must become one with the object of its focus, that is the only way to gain true knowledge about anything...

irl or in movies?

Castello was on the run in Vietnam. Interpol had issued a Red Notice classifying him as an international fugitive. His contacts could reach only so far and now he was in a dirty bar, full of heroin-haunted prostitutes, the dregs of Western tourists, and pimps disguised as indolent men playing at dominos. He hated the food, the women, eve the young girls. Not to mention the sweltering heat and the distinct feeling--the sense of foreboding really--that he was an old lizard out of his depth. That, in short order, a crocodile would come and swallow him whole, perhaps without him even noticing, nor, perhaps, the dinosaurian noticing either. He stepped out into the night, hardly cooler than was the dive inside, and ordered a rickshaw. "L'hotel Rose, vite!"-- he told the driver. All the streets appeared the same: a hellish feeling of indifference and of something approaching even shame began to haunted him in Saigon...Passing a rather large stuffed ghariel displayed in the hotel lobby, he headed straight up to his room on the third floor. As he opened the door he noticed, as expected, that the bedroom light was on. A wafer thin girl, aged no more eighteen, was in her nightgown waiting. "Have you eaten?" "No," she said, in heavily accented English, as she looked at her petite sandaled feet. "Here--he handed her the phone--call the lobby and order some Hoành Thánhs." "Ok," she said.

"Castello, you're getting soft," he thought to himself all the while. All he wanted was bugger her as she stood. If she began to whimper and that whimper turned into a pained cry, than all the better! If she was utterly humiliated on account of any "phân" he managed to bugger out of her, so much the better!" But here he was: concerned with filling her stomach, instead of buggering "la merde vivants" out of her, as would have been right and proper under far better circumstances, in better times, and in a better country.

>>20475868
Really good, I would read a book written like this. I will say the opening sentence annoys me for some reason, dregs of western tourists feels a bit off, dinosaurian does too and your use of "bugger" is a bit much. But your usage of the small french bits is fun and revitalizing. Seems like it would be about a worldly charlatan your average reader would love.

The fact I'll never get to meet a young Kate bush and spend the rest of my life living off her success while she does her mental dances makes me depressed. Literal dream woman lads.

I don't think I will be able to get to an old age while thinking about killing myself every night. It's been 15 years already.
I will eventually just get drunk, drugged or something and do it right? Imagine being some 70 years old man thinking you will finally end it the next day, this time for reals

Joke's on you because if I had sex and romantic success when I was a teenager I'd be a well-adjusted normalfag and not on my current quixotic adventure to become the first real life steampunk vigilante/author of cutting-edge science fiction novels. The vigilante part is for inspiration, and what makes me different is that my novels will consist entirely of dystopian stories in which characters construct utopian worlds to escape the hopeless and abject conditions of their lives, eventually overpowering the narrative so that there is no real distinction between the two worlds. No sex-haver could ever conceive of my literary ideas, oh well.

I had so many negative thoughts today bros. I was really worn down. It was a tough day.

I continued my trajectory from >>20471141 and avoided getting into arguments with Marxists on this site. Instead I did the following things:
>Bible study
>Studied chemistry
>Read a sci-fi novel
>Spent time on interesting threads in /his/ and /lit/
All in all, I am unironically, measurably happier now than I was only two days ago. I dunno if I'm just an ostrich sticking my head in the sand, but it's nice to not be constantly ramming heads with Marxists.

I am pissed. Prince's estate released a high quality live concert album from a 1985 concert that Prince performed. This album replaces an earlier, lower quality version of the concert that has since been pulled from all streaming platforms. The problem is that this higher quality version lacks a lot of the instruments on the earlier release. I was waiting for weeks to hear the best ever version of Purple Rain ever performed but this release is actually worse than the previous one since it doesn't have the same sounds and instruments. What a disappointment.

>>20475276
too much trouble
can't be bothered
not my problem
doesn't matter
don't care
too much else on my mind
not important anyway

>>20476242
>The problem is that this higher quality version lacks a lot of the instruments on the earlier release
Why would they do that? Does this also mean that it's a mix not overseen by Prince?

>>20476278
Basically what happened was that they already released a live album based on this concert a few years ago. Then they recently discovered a high quality version of it that was in Prince's vault, so they removed that album and released this one along with a film of the concert. I have no idea how or why the recordings are so different or how it took them so long to find this new version. Like on the 17-minute version of Purple Rain, some of the keyboards are just not there. The drums and guitar are more intense but the synthesizers are hard to hear meanwhile they were very present in the earlier version, which thankfully I downloaded before they removed it from streaming. just a disappointing situation

>>20476313
That's really weird. Because I assume with Prince he has the stem tapes of like everything. And now I'm wondering if the idea was to overdub the missing instrumental pieces?

What is on my mind are the Laurentian Mountains in eastern Canada.

When you compare them to other mountain ranges, they are rather unimpressive, looking like low rolling, very rounded hills. The reason they look like that is because they are actually one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.

The Laurentian Mountains formed during the Grenville Orogeny, from 1.2 to 1 billion years ago in the Proterozoic eon. That's in the Precambrian, meaning those mountains did not have any plants or terrestrial life on them for millions of years.

In comparison, the Himalayas are the youngest mountains in the world at around 50 millions years old. The Appalachian mountains, which look very similar to the Laurentians, are only around 480 million years old. The Appalachians actually sit on the Grenville province (part of the Canadian Shield) in some parts of eastern Canada.

If we still see them today after 1 billion years is because they used to be of the scale of the current Himalayas. Thousands of meters in altitude. But time and many, many cycles of glaciations eroded them almost completely.

Only the roots of the mountains remain visible today. Those rocky, trees covered hills were once around 35 km below ground. At such depths, the pressure and temperature were immense and that's the reason they are made of high grade metamorphic rocks.

That is what is on my mind.
Ancient mountains.

>>20476519
I enjoyed reading that. But fuck you if ancient mountains are gonna be on my mind now, kek

>>20476525
If you are in the US, it's quite possible that you are currently sitting on the Grenville province yourself at it is vast, having formed during the supercontinent Rodinia. Grenville is only visible in eastern Canada though, when you get to the US, it gets covered by other layers and can't be seen.

I'm not in North America, as a matter of fact five seconds on wikipedia tells me I am currently sitting on silurian or phanerozoic granitoid. I can't find the geological province name though... perhaps 'Lachlan Fold Belt' is the closest identifier?

Beautiful. This unironically made my day anon. Book recommendations for feeling small and insignificant in comparison to nature? Books on ancient mountains?

There's something really pathetic about Queen + Adam Lambert playing for a celebration of Queen Elizabeth's benign longevity that she was too frail to even attend. It shows you how different people in a band can be, John Deacon pretty much retired from all music and the public eye not just from Queen, but all together, after Freddie Mercury died. In contrast Brian May and Roger Taylor have been content to continue touring, continue being in the public eye, and continue playing the same songs they played with Mercury decades ago. Deacon wasn't even present their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's his prerogative of course, he's supposed to be worth 130 million pounds (162.38 million USD) so it isn't like he'll even need to tour. But it's interesting to compare him to his bandmates who continue playing under the Queen moniker, but also another bassplayer John-Paul Jones. Jones was like Deacon always considered the "quiet" one, but arguably had a much greater influence on the sound of Zeppelin than Deacon had on Queen. Led Zeppelin broke up when John Bonham died, although years later you did have the Page and Plant side project. However Jones continued making music, and continued touring, joined supergroups like Them Crooked Vultures. Like Deacon it's not like he needs to, he's worth considerably less, only 50 million pounds. Even so, not like he'll ever need to worry about a pay day again.
I think what really gets me is that Mercury died and Deacon was just like: "no, that's it, I'm done with music. Done with the public eye." yet Taylor and May are like "haha, I get it, because she's the Queen and our band used to be called Queen, sure let's play an empty shell of ourselves"

Red light shimmered in the morning mist as the sun’s rays broke over the jagged horizon. Ostra tried to snort a string of snot running from his nose but it just got lodged in his nasal cavity. The spring time pollen always had this effect on him. Plugging his left nostril he tried to blow the gunk out. “Ah!” Ostra’s internal struggle was interrupted by the shifting of foliage. He tenderly adjusted his position on the heavy limb of the Onlog Oak he perched in. The wisps and puffs of steam were rising out in the high grass and there were faint snorts. So he raised his bow biding his time. He could just make out where the grass was being jostled. Time seemed to slow as the grass was being split about twenty strides out. Ostra drew the bow back as the horns of the Bovinbo pushed clear of the grass. It’s snout wiggling and snorting against the dirt. The drawstring was heavy, but Ostra held it, the overworked back muscles shivering from the strain. Then the broad side of the creature emerged and let out a fierce honking cry as an arrow planted itself between its ribs.
“Yes! YES YES!!” The boy threw his hands up as the creature collapsed and began kicking. He slipped from the branch and fell a short distance into the high grass.
“Ow…” Ostra gingerly got to his feet wincing from a few scrapes. A hawk spread its wings in the distance and let out a cry. Ostra nodded to himself acknowledging that the practicals were sending word that he had passed the first of the challenges. Killing the beast was the easy part now he had to figure out a way to get it back to the village. O’stra approached the bovinbo with caution recalling Gillai who had his leg smashed by the aggressive beast in his rite of passage. It would be another year before he would be able to take the exam. That’s if his leg mended properly. O’stra was with a few strides of the bovinbo. The beast was letting out ragged breaths but was not moving. O’stra glanced around to see what his best method of retreat would be if the creature had a burst of energy. Judging that he could make it to the nearest tree he drove the spear down toward the throat of the beast. It was a clean slash and the arteries began spilling bright red blood. With a final burst of strength the bovinbo floundered pathetically. It’s bright eyes stared at O’stra glaring at him. O’stra stared back and felt only a tinge of pity for the creature, not remorse. O’stra prayed for the creature’s departure before he got down to the hard work. The village was about three miles from here and he needed to find a way to get the thing back. He set all of what he had with him, save the skins and bones he wore, on the ground. Bow, quiver, spear, a length of rope, half-full water skin, and a whistle rested in the grass.

Don't condescend me. Once is not enough.

I wonder why humanity has this propensity towards "justice" or believing concepts like "how you've impacted other people"

There's this idea about life providing objective moral 'lessons', I guess. Instead of a person focusing on how badly they've gotten burnt, or seeing a situation for what it is, they choose to keep rose tinted glasses on and romanticize people/places/ideas until it brings their demise

I really don't think life provides any objective 'lessons' or anything similar. Even from a metaphysical perspective, I don't believe in karma or justice from any divine higher up perspective. I think someone's luck, or life situations can just be awful and that's it. The universe doesn't seem to prove otherwise. Frankly I don't think the universe gives a fuck either about what happens and life was never supposed to be fair

But everyone has to cope and rationalize away the bad things I guess

It’s surprisingly not. They’re likely all on Twitter. There’s statistically low chances that even lgbt has that many and even lower chances of their liking literature all that much. They probably go to /d/ and /b/ more. All that said, there’s probably one or two of them.

>Your younger self contains the purest essence of who you are
This is the kind of idealization crap I mentioned

There is no essence to begin with. The concept of a true self doesn't exist, most personality traits are mutable. They're rarely ever 'fixed' or stuck. Even with people with preferences like introversion and extraversion. You'll find their personality is quite fluid, we often change and sway from different positions throughout our lives. These kind of ideas really jumble people up and make them miss the bigger picture

It's no surprise why marketers and modern advertising appeal to these ideas. We're often told we need to 'become our true selves' or whatever, or believe we 'lost' a part of our childhood self

this is wrong in my perception
there are certain propensities of the personality which seem to be absolutely fixed, and which do not change beyond severe and incurable brain damage and the like
>You'll find their personality is quite fluid, we often change and sway from different positions throughout our lives.
not fluid enough for the type to change

Such as? Do you mean Jung's original typology? Because I haven't learned his original work on that

>>20478371
>Such as?
the introverted types tendency towards greater isolation, shyness, self-indulgence etc. in contrast to the openness, less secretive, more externally interested etc. extravert
>Do you mean Jung's original typology?
yes
in both description, diagnosis and practical application i find certain value in the original typology of jung and the elaboration of socionics, although both models (being non-empirical and non-scientific) have serious issues which are both based on seeming contradiction in reality and in the inherently immaterial object of study, making such models incredibly speculative and phenomenologically reliant

>>20478333

What is reality? How can a sentient being ever stop questioning it for a moment is beyond me.
Why does matter fill space? What if it wasn't matter and was something entirely different that we can not even imagine because we are of this materialistic world. What if there are infinite realms of existence or something else other than existence that neither exists nor doesn't exist but does something unrelated to the two, something out if this world that we can not to begin to grasp imagining it.

Diversity without unity is the epitome of weakness, the same way unity without diversity is brittle and stagnant. Democracy puts everyone's resources up for grabs for everyone and this tends to turn everyone against everyone else. Diversity is not a strength when it comes to everyone fighting for their share of political loot. Democracy is the real "war of all against all" described by Hobbes.

In all fairness, the pervert has been the most discriminated person in all of history, at least my roommate says so

How do you find something purposeful to do with your life?

I get that to a certain degree you just have to try things and probably more importantly, you have to stick with them. Passion, if it exists at all, is something you have to work for and I get that. But what about the fact that nothing in particular appears even at a surface level to be anything more than trivial? Nothing is really serious or important or dire or necessarily fulfilling and those things which aren’t those but which might otherwise be good occupations of time are things which are so far out of reach that one can’t help but wonder if it’s ill advised to even set off to do them. Life is too easy and comfortable and yet totally miserable so what the hell are you supposed to do about it?

>>20476519
It always freaks me out a little thinking about geological times. Like we all know mountains erode, but it's impossible to really visualize. As this Anon said, look at the Himalayas, which are literally the biggest thing in the world. Eventually, they'll just be gone, eroded away to nothing. Nothing. It will take millions, maybe billions of years to happen. And it WILL happen. It's just impossible for us to imagine it. Modern humans, we've been here for like 20 000 years? Half of that was after the last great Ice Age. The landscape was modeled by those glaciations in many parts of the world, nothing really changed since then except sometimes some rivers who have slightly changed course. And yet. We really are nothing lads.

I feel you, but you got to experience it, I didn't. I'll be 30 before I know it and be in the same boat anyways. I'm fucked. Consider yourself lucky, and that you're better than me at the very least.

Religion was the only thing that ever gave my life meaning. I still believe in God but I can’t bring myself to participate in my church because I’m a misanthrope that derives a lot of schadenfreude when I see druggies, sluts, and other people I don’t like suffer. Even the thought of following the commandment “love your neighbor” repulses me. Sometimes I feel a deep connection to nature. I love to watch birds flying, and trees rustling in the wind. I make little nests for finches on the eaves of my house. These things bring me little moments of joy, but I still feel unmoored.

You know you can’t make kids appear out of thin air right? You need to find a partner who also wants to have kids.

>>20478737
No, you.

I want to have sex so bad but have little social skills and no self-confidence.

You guys are very rude

>>20478659
Why are you 40 and broke and without employment prospects? What lead you to be in such a destitute situation?

>>20478767
Leftist defending life and “trad” values. Death worshiper.

>I’m not even a Marxist, but

>>20478461
worth learning because it in my experience corresponds closely enough to reality that it is of intellectual interest and somewhat usefulness

the categorization of people with a certain amount of basic and general shared traits, values and predispositions into types is not the same as astrology

this is the guy who got kicked out of public enemy for being too woke, damn no wonder i never heard this back in the day

Told my boss two days ago that there was something iffy with the ceiling on the third floor. I'm no expert so I didn't investigate, but there was something. Told him again yesterday. Nobody checked. This morning, a big, high pressure pipe for fire protection broke in the ceiling. They had to open the ceiling, walls, move a couple of people and people specialized in cleaning mess like that. Oh well.

I’ve come to think that most men will find some sort of mission in either their family, their job, or both. If you don’t have a family and don’t see that on the horizon for yourself and you don’t like your job but don’t see any particular job you would like then it can be really difficult to feel like you have anything driving you forward.

I have no idea what the solution for this, but I feel it within myself.

>>20478939
shit happens, that's life. what did you expect them to do anyway?

>>20478855
Look bro, I'm on your side. I'm not a fucking commie. I just think diversity is good, the bourgeoisie should be eliminated, and everything should be shared in a classless community.

>>20478951
ignore them, the mere mention of "leftist" was apparently enough to make him devolve into an non-responsive mess

>>20478941
I’ve actually let go of most things since I turned 29. I’ve even moved into my parents house, yes, at 28 years old. I have a remote job I don’t really care about anymore. Otherwise, I never really found that thing to be passionate about. No friends. No girlfriend. Nothing. I am living for nothing at this point honestly. I think a lot of us are.

>>20478979
i think at that age you're expected to put all your resources into trying to get laid, but i agree this is just such a boring thing. it's either too easy or too hard depending on who you are, real life has shitty balance, it's not that fun.

I'm a loser; therefore everyone is a loser.

>>20479005
thats deep bro

>>20479002
I don’t even care about fun. I just want to have something to do with my days that at least feels worth it, you know? Right now, I survive so I can work and I work so I can survive. It’s miserable.

i don't even mind working cuz it gives me something to do otherwise id' just be sittin here all day

>>20479033
I get that. I don’t mind working in principle. I just really hate my job and I don’t want to say hate but strongly dislike most of the people I work with.

The biggest fuckup, in hindsight, was missing out on this. There were a few cute girls that actually liked me and maybe we could have had some sort of bond and lasting relationship that could have only came out of the pure essence of youth.
Being older now, these cunts are vile, and I have all but lost interest and hope

>The concept of a true self doesn't exist,
This, people have many nuances that come out in different situations
>>20478363
>there are certain propensities of the personality which seem to be absolutely fixed,
Which ones and which ones are fixed and which ones are much more variable? How would you know which ones are "absolutely fixed" and others are a result of being in a static and routine environment for years on end?
What about conmen, actors, chameleons, certain kinds of teachers for whom the only constant is the fluidity and rapidness of which they changer their manners - it would be a cop out to say "they are fixed in their changeness"
>Jung was right, perhaps not about the specifics but his general idea
Jung said that people change between archetypes didn't he? Seems like the opposite of what you're saying.
