Good triumphs over evil, but only if good is more violent and even nastier than evil.

>>20576923
its not a talent or passion if you have to force it.

>>20576965
No one said it was.
Did you even read the quote?

>>20576974
persistence is forcing.

People have no idea how dehydrated they are. You damn fools.

Every day is a blessing.

The Republikkkans took abortion from you. Resist, by any means necessary. This was a declaration of war.

In 1969 the conceptual artist Douglas Huebler wrote, “The world is full of objects, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.” I’ve come to embrace Huebler’s ideas, though it might be retooled as “The world is full of texts, more or less interesting; I do not wish to add any more.”
Why attempt to create something "new" if plagiarism is so beautiful?

>>20576991
Err...my piss is red. I assumed that was normal?

>>20576988
Forcing is only one type of persistence.

>>20576991
Or I just take B vitamins.

The Democrats had 50 years to pass a federal abortion law.
They failed to do so.

I wanted to go with “public institutions”, but that doesn’t have great connotations (fucking corpos). It needs to evoke a sense of worth or pride in the community, like a comfort in the collective unconscious.

There's nothing weirder than watching in real time how your status immediately raises in leaps and bounds as soon as you're seen with a woman or child in public.
It's startling to realize than if you're just a dude walking down the street, you're automatically relegated to the category of "possible threat". I don't mean that in an incel way, I just mean that you're a nobody, totally anonymous, without context or purpose.
Walk with a woman by your side, could be your sister, mother, coworker, or girlfriend, and immediately people treat you with dignity and smile at you. Especially if the woman is attractive, and especially if you're out with a child (niece in my case). It's like you've finally gotten someone to vouch for you.

I think women underestimate -- nay, will never understand -- what it's like to be a man in this regard. You're nobody. If you're just some guy, people have no reason to ever look at you. Maybe they will if they're generous people, but it's definitely not a given thing.
I have gone to the same coffee shops, restaurants and book stores for years, and even though I have a generally kind demeanor and I'm not ugly (though I am unusually tall), people don't seem to want to notice a man who is by himself.

Today I went out with my niece to the same neighborhood I go to every weekend, and suddenly people are very kind. Of course I'm not complaining about this, and it's obvious that people want to be nice around kids, but still, it's a sober reminder that solitary men will never live in the same world. Normally when I walk into this one shop -- and it's a hobby store so it's not like a shady convenience store where people are assumed anonymity -- the shopkeeper will just just be look at me for a moment and go, "Hey," before looking back at her phone. Today, she smiled at both of us for more than a moment, and asked us how our day was. Then she gave us free shit at the counter and made small talk with me and did that prosocial fake laughter that's actually cute.

I actually miss this about my old girlfriend. It was such an expected ambience.

If you're able, go have kids, anon.

>>20578218
People smile at and talk to me when I’m alone all the time.
Have you tried not being ugly?

>>20578218
>tall
Lanklets CAN’T suffer

>>20578242
Maybe they feel bad for how ugly you are

>>20578218
UNexpected ambience, I mean. Typo.
By the way, I remember the first time I went out with this very cute girl for a friend date (an artist friend of mine and quite fashionable), I believe she made small talk at least 4-5 times that day ON THE STREET, and I'm talking strangers sincerely making each other laugh to just to brighten each other's day. Amazing. People talked to me like I was a real somebody.

Fuck. The last time somebody talked to me in public was two days ago when I had an awkward altercation with a bus driver who berated me for boarding too quickly after a wheel-chaired women, and who proceeded say some shit under his breath until I told him to stop talking to me. That same day some other guy mean mugged me. He was talking to some chick when we accidentally made eye contact and that clearly triggered something in him. He ironically said, "How's YOUR day?" as I passed him. I just said, "Good. How you doing?" Then he said, "You don't look so good, maybe you need to chill out."
Fucking weird. The only thing I can think of is that people say I have a cold demeanor, but so what? I do nothing but mind my business all day, and I don't have to impress strangers.

I'm not particularly sensitive to this stuff, but I just think it's something men have that we never talk about. It's crazy that when men tell little anecdotes like that, literally every other man in the room will unload several similar stories of being harassed for no reason.

>>20578242
It's not like people never smile at me. This woman shot me a really nice smile the other day. I'm not ugly. I think it's just that I spend a lot of time alone so I notice these things because I'm obsessed with how people interact. I also live in Los Angeles which is rapidly getting worse, and large cities are known for having a slight air of hostility.

Do NOT fall for this life-cuckoldry trap. By having kids you are damning them into this same hell for no other reason than that you want to follow your evolutionary programming and have a social prop to grease the wheels. Don't fall for life's trap of forcing new life to go through this same bullshit for no real reason, no true metaphysical purpose. Don't bring a new subject into existence who could have been spared all of this garbage. I know what I'm talking about. I'm pushing 40 and I'm starting to see couples with children differently. Feeling the pangs of "oh, that's what you're supposed to be doing." I won't fall for it.

I used to think I'm a fan of spec-fic, but most of the time I just end up dropping a book after the first chapter because it's so amateurish when it comes to prose and setting up the narrative. It's baffling that all this garbage got and still gets published.

>>20578506

I was legit diagnosed as a speg as a kid. I've always felt like a oddity and like I couldn't do "normal life things". And yet I can't really identify with other spergs, when they describe their experiences: the ambiguity of their own feelings, the confusion about social cues or the feelings of others, or why so many of them are trans. I just can't relate to it which is very curious because you'd assume I'd feel like I finally found "my tribe". I find it easy to talk to them, that sort of meandering information dump is very easy for me to follow. However I find it relatively easy to talk most people.
For the record nowadays while I know I'm not normal (I'm not in a long term relationship and working a white collar job and have two dogs and a SUV), I don't feel as weird as I could be. And I feel like I have most of the life skills of most people my age, dating a slightly older woman really opened my eyes. I discovered I had many "life skills", some which were better than hers.
It's weird, being this stranger in your native land, and then you meet other strangers that should be just like you but you still feel like a stranger.
Thank you for reading, that's what's on my mind.

I don't really know, maybe because I have other issues as well. But I just didn't understand them and found them not funny or interesting. I mean, I do have Asperger's so it's kind of expected, but I had hoped I would connect more with people "like me". I didn't.

It's quite surprising that this is the case, isn't it?

>>20579038
Good question, it kind of makes sense I think.
I mean, I have issues connecting and understanding people in general, even more so in groups. If I try to connect with people who have the same issues, it won't cancel out, it will just add to the rift between us. Don't you think? I don't even know if I think that.

>>20579077
In totally theoretical terms it makes a lot of sense, that being Aspergers means you can't connect much with most people, including but not limited to other people wit Aspergers. And that's why I'm interested in the specifics, like what is causing this mutual alienation?

I just keep drinking.

>>20579165
They’re probably just misdiagnosed ASPD like a double-digit percentage of males diagnosed with “Asperger’s”.

I have autism. I've been reflecting on it, and I think the effect is a mental composition similar to a pre-civ man, animalistic, experience-oriented, detailed, etc.

>>20579207
I don't understand your point of view.

dear vanessa,

i left a trail of poop leading to my room--please follow it.

t. google/ai

>>20579229
Pre-civ and post-civ I think are the same. So think of a human a million years from now and how alien they'd be relative to humans today. I have the same worldview as that person a million years from now.

>>20579229

He's basically just regurgitating a popular idea that autism came about in the neanderthal (or thereabouts) as some sort of adaptation which was more useful then (pattern recognition, hunting, paying attention etc), but which has since become less useful in an agriculture-based, highly socialized culture. It's a way for autistics to romanticize themselves and feel less badly about themselves. I don't begrudge anyone a little romanticizing about their own ego.

every single night, i endure the flight
of little wings of white-flamed butterflies in my brain
these ideas of mine percolate the mind
trickle down the spine, swarm the belly, swellin' to a blaze
that's where the pain comes in like a second skeleton
tryin' to fit beneath the skin, I can't fit the feelings in
every single night's alight with my brain

I'm in the same boat, fellow sperganon. I was surprised to discover that there are like a lot of autism varieties, some are just shy guys and others are practically retarded.
When I was in my teens my father sent me to a group of spergs to "socialize" with them and they were the cringiest, most childish people I have ever met. I wonder if this is how normalfags see me.

>>20576930
What are some examples of literature or even films that are simply too stuffed with ideas and falter because of it? I’m working on a large story that I may write as a novel but I’m concerned I’m putting too many ideas into it.

>>20579368
>I was surprised to discover that there are like a lot of autism varieties, some are just shy guys and others are practically retarded.
This is in the literal definition of autism though.
Levels 1, 2 and 3.
Level 1 are, broadly, what Asperger's used to be and level 3 are basically drooling retards.

I'm in a slump. I wish I read more for pleasure than out of a feeling of obligation. Only read 2 books this year and haven't finished anything since February. So I'm going to get back to the basics and read some comics, before finishing the books I'm stuck on. Then I want to read Wuthering Heights.

There's no difference between indica and sativa you stupid goddamn stoners.

true romance is on sale on itunes for $5 should i get it? i haven't seen it since it was new in the 90s, but i just watched the trailer and there appears to be a scene where michael rapport is taking a shit while talking on the phone and i think that might trigger my autism.

>>20579469
where is this?

Had nightmares so bad this time I woke up and immediately did several shots of vodka rendering me completely brain dead. I don't remember much. Didn't sleep though. Yes BTW I tried lavender for smells.

Who is the Werner Herzog of authors? Someone who puts a lens on humans and shows how strange they are.

>>20579748
Indica puts you "in da couch".
Sativa actually wakes you up and lets you be productive.
This is my memory from decades ago when I still did that stuff.

>>20579978
Alcohol makes my nightmares worse.
You may need more than adding pleasant smells...you may need to get rid of bad smells.
Clean your bedroom, wash your sheets, and if you don't shower before bed, at least use antiperspirant/deodorant.

been listening to oasis recently

>>20580048
just dumb potheads who pretend that they can differentiate between non-existent 'strains'. They are the same dumb fucks who think getting drunk on tequila feels different than getting drunk on whisky. It's all ethanol. Dumbasses.

>>20580055
do they have any other good songs besides that one song?

>>20580043
I've got a weighted blanket, comforting items, shower before bed with lavender body wash, air my room daily etc and have been keeping my room tidy. The drunkenness was just brought on by exhaustion and frustration.

Feeling grateful that 4chan exists.

Wine in the morning and breakfast at night

>>20580045
Yes there is. The balance of chemicals, and the presence/absence of others, are different.

>>20580056
Some strains have a positive effect on people who suffer from seizures.
So clearly, there are differences.

And no, it's not all ethanol...there are other chemicals in the various types of liquor that have different effects on people.
The only one that's pure ethanol is vodka.
Try drinking Jagermeister and then telling me there's no difference.

You seem to be particularly ignorant today.

I'm thinking about going to hypno therapy to reduce my anxiety and I'm pretty sure it'll work on me

>>20580156
Wrong. The only potable alcohol is ethanol. That is what gets you drunk, stupid.

>>20580142
No, there isn't. You are an idiot.

>>20580196
There are chemicals other than ethanol in hard liquor that have an effect on you.
>>20580200
Sorry, but you're simply wrong.
I wonder if your penchant for being wrong screws up other aspects of your life.

>>20580196
You can drink methanol if you drink enough ethanol with it.

>>20580210
I'm actually right and you are an idiot. Alcohol is formedwhen yeast ferments (breaks down without oxygen) the sugars in different food. For example, wine is made from the sugar in grapes, beer from the sugar in malted barley (a type of grain), cider from the sugar in apples, vodka from the sugar in potatoes, beets or other plants.
It is the same chemical. It doesn't matter what it tastes like dumbass. Get that thru your thick fucking skull.
Indicas and sativas DO NO EXIST. it's all marketing bullshit for idiots like you who are easily tricked by placebo effects, because you are dumb like a chicken.

>>20580159
I tried hypno therapy. It didnt help to me.

>>20580069
Do you fart a lot normally?
Maybe you're sleep-farting.

>>20580224
And I keep saying that the other chemicals in common alcohols have an effect that goes beyond simply what the alcohol does. You keep pretending alcohol is the only active ingredient.
And yes, different strains of pot exist, and have different effects...try smoking hemp if you don't believe me.
It's fine if you wish to be mean-spirited and ignorant...you're only making yourself suffer.

>>20580241
Name these other chemicals faggot. What are the affects.

>>20580241
Keep moving the goalposts idiot. I win. I'm right. I would kick your faggot teeth in irl. You are a fucking idiot. Alcohol makes you drunk, it doesn't matter what it tastes like. Thc gets you high, it doesn't matter what what dumb fucking name it has.

Drunk is drunk, none of those change anything. Nice try loser. I win. Did you forget about thc? God you people are pathetic and latch onto arguments like a pitbull on a baby. Let go. I win.

Ethanol makes you drunk. Nothing else, idiot.

Getting old without ever being young.

Bullying, seclusion, social anxiety and so on. I always dreamed working in office but never knew what exactly I want. Now 36, face is melting but still kinda hope/imagine i can break through to white colar. Girls my age already starting looking ugly and I never really made it with a young beauty. I cant accept the fact that i look like and old creep to them. These wounds just unhealable.

How to cope?

Jagermeister also contains poppy seeds, which will have some amount of opium.
Absinthe also contains thujone, which has psychoactive properties.

Nobody is getting high on opium doing jager bombs idiot.
ethanol is what makes you drunk, it doesn't matter which drink its in. You are slamming your head against a wall out of shear stupidity. Ethanol makes you drunk, it doesn't matter what it taste like. Do you know what ethanol is? apparently not. I'll tell you again, it's what makes you feel drunk when you drink alcoholic drinks.

If you search around Japanese literature on Wikipedia, you’ll see Osamu Tezuka mentioned with canonical authors of Japanese literature. You can easily find on the internet these days claims that X graphic novel should be considered up there with classic works of literature. I’m mulling over whether these things actually are deserving of being canonical with the great works of the written word or if it’s just BS cope and mental gymnastics.

It’s a less inspired medium isn’t it? There is less room for imagination. If poetry is downstream of music and prose downstream of poetry then comics are downstream of prose, or visual art, which itself is more inspired. I like comics but I don’t see how they can be considered masterpieces.

>>20581233
>It’s a less inspired medium isn’t it? There is less room for imagination
Why? You say that like it's self evident but I don't really see why any medium would have less room for imagination. Only reason I can see is that you can be limited by what sells, but that's true for literally all mediums today.

Biologically trannies are nothing like what they claim to be, they are mentally sick. Also trannies are a puppet for the rich, the entire movement is funded by large greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies and bankers. Trannies have also infiltrated and destroyed countless sub-cultures, fandoms and movements all so they can turn them towards promoting their fetish and the woke ideology

I saw an old friend for the first time in about ten years yesterday. We picked up where we left off; it seemed to me that he had not really changed at all, and he said he thought the same of me. That struck me as surprising, because ten years ago I was a drug-addled anime-addicted clown that spent all day browsing 4chan and playing video games, and I'm not really like that in any respect anymore. He probably thought the same. Anyways, we talked a bit about what we would've talked about before: anime and manga.

I haven't watched any anime in 8+ years, but it made me curious and I torrented a few of my old favorites. Some of them hold up really well, specifically Perfect Blue, Welcome to the NHK, and Tatami Galaxy. There is obviously a culture gap and by virtue of my not being Japanese or as deep a weeb as I once was I likely don't have as good a grasp on them as I do on more Western works, but I can see that there's plenty there that's very applicable to modern Western man today the same way there is in Western literature and media in general (think of the similarities between postwar Jap lit like No Longer Human or The Setting Sun and a work like The Sound and the Fury); it's not just nostalgia.

>>20580637
I'm not sure I agree completely, especially if we look at it in terms of art in general. Especially for a certain type of person.

>>20580510
If you're the type of person that watched anime, check out the manga of Asano Inio, specifically Nijigahara Holograph.

While the left is clear that they want to transform America via a cultural revolution, conservatives lack any coherent vision for America’s future. Modern conservativism is a convoluted ideological mishmash ranging from paperwork patriotism (such as Americanism as an ideology), capitalism, flirting with White identity politics, building a multi-racial working class coalition, pandering to minorities and virtue signaling with talk of Democrats as the real racists. The GOP is having short term electoral and culture war victories due to how awful the other side is but lack any sustainable long term strategies. The GOP is also dishonest to their voters about taking back America, especially with implicitly White overtones. This is because America is past the point of no return, as far as being salvaged as one cohesive nation. Tucker Carlson blames race politics on potentially leading to ethnic sectarian conflicts but the best way to avoid that kind of scenario is to be honest about the reality that America is an inward facing multi-ethnic empire that can’t be unified by ideology.

There is a sense of psychological trauma from the sense of loss for White Americans. The problem is not just the message from the GOP feeding White Americans copes, to cling onto Americanism, to secure votes. Engaging in the ethnic spoils system is such a radically alien concept for Whites. White Americans are in a state of limbo between having a strong sense that America is theirs while not yet starting to embrace the mindset of a minority or diaspora. Obsessing about Whites becoming a minority is demoralizing and counter-productive but White identity politics needs to be normalized.

America is in an identity crisis with no shared values that unite the nation nor idea of what it means to be an American. Americanism has long been implicitly linked to Whiteness, but that is not viable long term as diversity is inevitable. Either Americanism exists in some new form of civic nationalism that is decoupled from Whiteness or Whiteness is maintained but under multiculturalism. The best case scenario for White Americans is a version of multi-culturalism where they can successfully play the game too with their own enclaves and patronage networks. The political system of the future will be many tribes competing and lobbying for their group’s interest and forming alliances under a multi-polar system

Ideas ain't shit. You can have lots of 'ideas' in a novel as long as autistic knowledge isn't necessary for reading it.
That said, I did not enjoy Foucault's Pendulum because it was too esoteric-historical to really get what all the 1000 references meant, so I felt out of the loop.

Look of the "novel of ideas". Those novels are ABOUT weaving in and out of ideas, but, from what those I've read, in a stream-of-consciousness way, and again, not autistic about it. The author shouldn't name-drop, worst of all, and personally I like when the protagonist is show to think about ideas in a naïve way. Ulysses does this.

>>20581612

Lmao, same, I got covid in Jan 2020, back early when I got harassed twice for wearing a mask at work ("masks dont work anon, you're only spreading panic") reading straight from the script at the time, they were. The narrative changed real quick, so I hesitated to jump in. never got vaxxed. later that same supervisor at my job was writing me up for NOT wearing a mask.

my logic was that I wanted to see what would happen to me if I didn't get vaxxed (people dont know what to do with this answer so its fun to watch them try to make a republican nut out of me). so far i dont regret it.

People in LA have no identities, and people like that are primed to become fanatical. Cue the BLM protests, where suddenly the deadly virus took an anti-racist recess to allow unmasked mobs to set fire to buildings. i saw the riots with my own eyes, and watching the media lie in real time was also a big deal for me. I was also early tuned in to what the CDC and WHO were declaring as dogma before turning and scrubbing what they just said the day before.

>>20581704
Ah alright, that makes more sense, I thought you meant the imagination of the creator rather than the reader. I'm not sure if it necessarily negatively impacts the quality of the work though if it leaves less to the imagination. I'd consider the best manga to be far superior to most shitty YA novels, despite the latter technically leaving more to imagination through the way the medium works. And comics still leave a lot to the imagination compared to animation and live action.

>>20581612
Yeah free drugs

On one of those reading guides or however they are called here on /lit/ (basically lists of books that you should read), there was one world map with the most known book from every country.

Its not comfy at all. Its a fucking nightmare.

I read Confessions of a Mask, The Sound of Waves, and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. I intended to read Sailor next and then the tetralogy but I felt like a change of pace after Temple and now I'm worried I broke my flow by reading three books by authors other than Mishima. And then I went to the library to get I, Claudius and Augustus. I hope I have not ruined my summer of Mishima!

I also had to spend six days with family which broke my exercise and diet routine and I got sick when I returned from my trip which has so far been an additional five days of broken routine. Everything is falling apart.

I'm feeling autistic lately. How do you organize your notes for things? I've just been journaling into a text file but I've tried to do things like Obsidian or just plain handwritten notes. I don't really know why I bother sometimes since I'm never going to put them all together to write something. It's mostly about current events, too, or if it's fictional it's just thinly veiled autismo worldsperging in response to current events or shit I read that day.

You should read the first bit of Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent, the first time she goes out in drag as a man and actually passes well enough as male for people to ignore her as one, she almost has an existential crisis.
