The only way I can stop dwelling on resentment (people who hurt me) is to focus on regret (people I hurt). Then there's the occasional highlight reel of cringe. My mind is full of trashy baggage, nothing else in there.

Just rubbed my dick against the pharynx of a 19 year old Romanian Instagram model. Just look around for sugar babies people, women will do anything for money.

I'm still thinking about how frustrating it is that when I ask a question I don't get a direct or relevant answer and one day I will turn this about.
One day it will come to pass that if I ask something like what kind of microphone is better for recording spoken word poetry someone won't brag about how they have some kind of breathing technique that means they can use any microphone, instead someone will advise me what kind of microphones are best suited to the prosody and conditions of the spoken word in a studio environment, and what kind of features to look for when selecting the right model.
If I have a question about Hegel a schizo won't wax lyrical about Kant, instead they'll try their best to provide a plain English summary of what is relevant, or maybe even observe what assumptions or misinterpretations I have and correct them.
One day people won't handball away hard questions to imaginary professionals, they will either mention who is most qualified to answer the question and how to get in contact with them, or answer the question based on the best of their knowledge (and only adding speculation where appropriate).
And anyone who answers anything with something about sleep, water, or "relaxing" will disappear magician style down a giant PVC kid's slide that leads to Hell, which will be really revolting because by the time they get to the inferno of the underworld the tube will be melting all around them. Man those people suck. It could be a fat guy complaining that his weight gives him Sleep Apnea or a skinny guy who sleeps 12 hours a day and they'll still be like "don't be so hard on yourself. just drink plenty of water bro, and get some sleep".

>women will do anything for money.
Ah yes... money... I'll just go to my money tree and pick off a few luscious green hundies so I can throatfuck a Eastern European whore with my easily plucked money tree money that I knew exactly where to procure. Now all I need is the money tree, or a moderately lucrative job, and the reputation and network to secure that job. Easy.

>>20700251
>WAAAAAH WHY IS LIFE DO HARD!!!
dude there are thai migrants who come to this country with zero skills and manage to make good money in almost no time. You can get these girls to do anything for peanuts, just have a moderately decent job and don't blow your money on bullshit. Preemptively shooting yourself in the foot like that won't do you any good.

>>20700267
>and manage to make good money in almost no time.
I need details on where, how, and how much right now. Also, are they paying tax?
> just have a moderately decent job
Ahh yes because it never occurred to me when I wrote all those cover letters that's all I need. It never occurred to me when I scanned through the online job websites that this is what I need.
Wow, glad you told me that, because I would have never tried it.
>Preemptively shooting yourself in the foot like that won't do you any good.
Who's shooting who in the foot - I said that I don't know how to do it, there's a large difference between scoffing at the unlikeliness of how something is presented, and not making any sort of effort to make it more likely.

I still don't get why ancient greek philosophers are considered western philosophers when in reality they all originated from turkey (middle east and or eastern)

It feels like philosophy died in the early late 1800s. People just couldn't understand Hegel and then Nietzsche and his successors made irrationality the basis of philosophy. Any counter views ?

Working a wage job while in higher education is modern day torture.
You are studying and being interested in highly sophisticated concepts and try to understand the world on a higher level, you read literature (of any kind) to educate yourself for a proper job later on but then you are forced to work a shitty dead end job to sustain yourself, waste time you should be using to cultivate your intellectual as that is the station of your life you are actually in.

Enjoying the struggle it's what makes life worth living

Although it's all just pseudbullshit anyway, there's something so beautiful about a story of an unconnected group of patriotic mixed race europeans who are longing to rectify their countries. Who still have certain distinct features of their nation in their faces and spirit but aren't completely the same as before. Schizos who can only guess which part of their spirituality, their soul is caused by their native ancestry and which one is foreign, strange. Combine that with all the distinct cultural markers, certain facial expressions, certain gestures. So fascinating, so dystopian, yet so beautiful and bittersweet. I'm fascinated by the idea of a duality of ethnic spirits fighting over which one dominates the body and mind. But then I see some "pure-blooded" degenerate and realize it's all just racist bs, people vary in their personalities anyway, but as an idea it's interesting. It's the same when a Pokemon evolves into something else.. or like, everything else that changes..

I've finally decided I've had enough with my mentally ill gf. I laid awake last night, only sleeping from around 3am-5am. I probably won't eat until tonight or tomorrow. I feel like I'm going to throw up and my chest hurts so much and I just want to cry and scream at her about how I feel, and why I'm leaving, but I know it won't do any good. She refuses to go to her therapist, refuses her meds, and her parents (the cause of her issues) give zero shits about her. But I'm sick of being lied to for fun, I'm sick of being told she's feeling suicidal only to find out she's fine and hanging with friends. There is only so much my heart can take.

it's too hot!

I was an accident and I wish my parents had just aborted me. From my earliest memories, I'd be tossed from one set of grandparents to another, to my exhausted single mother, to my father in another country with another family, sometimes just to a family friend. All would as a rule be very apologetic and spoil me at first, then get tired of me when they realized what a horrid, bratty kid I was and pass me over to whoever was next.
I speak three languages as a result of all this. But I'm absolutely unable to form deep connections, recognize authority, believe in causes, be open, be kind, face adversity without panicking, or derive joy from small things.
Abort your mistakes. Even planned life is of debatable value. This is a sick joke.

I wish I had someone to discuss my ideas with, My two friends want to make an animated show and have everything layer out in note books and sketch books together. They can come up with ideas and work with each other on those.
I've had the idea of writing a story since I was little but now that I've decided to actually sit down and write this one I've been cooking up for a little over a year now I've realized how much I need to fill in.
I dont like to make things up on the go because it feels wrong and untrue so I want to have the plot laid out in a few pages and then base my novel series on that guide line.
I've tried multiple attempts and dozens of chapters and hundreds of pages to nothing I like because I struggle to put in "fluff" I write rather dry and straight to the point with some higher detailed moments but I dont know how to write a dozen pages of a characters life on a boat before an outbreak of Yakuza hiding below starts. I find myself wanting to have the character get on the boat and immediately get to the plot when that's not how good stories are made.
Theres other things like why certain events happen when they do instead of later on that I cant decide a good enough reason for.
I'm full on autistic with the lore of the world and power system having over multiple dozen+ page documents explaining countries, Religions, Wild life and such.
I want someone like a manga editor but without the power to veto my ideas and force me to write what they think will sell. Someone who can help me work out my ideas instead of just telling me their shit and I need to make two guys bone and a mary sue main character.

I think I’m bored of novels. Once you read through the essentials of the classics, you carve a few niches for yourself out of the canon for you explore deeper, and you eventually hit the bottom of the well, it just gets old. Once you realize that nothing really great or interesting has been written in a century at least, and nothing particularly good in two maybe three decades, you just get pessimistic about the whole thing. You lose interest in reading, writing. It’s started to feel like I’m just being lectured by this big canon of works from a culture which ended a hundred years ago and which I can’t really partake in at all. To continue to write feels to me almost foolish at this point, but this is just me venting.

>>20701230

>>20702374
Are you saying art isn't worth the sacrifice of a mass-print book? Don't be so precious, your misogyny is ugly enough, but the materialism that underpins it is hideous.

I can't get into any of that self-improvement stuff at all. Deep down I know I deserve to live a shitty and unfulfilling life full of problems of my own making and no amount of convincing will get me to think otherwise.
Sometimes I catch myself wishing I had made better choices or that things would worl out for me, but I have to crush these thoughts quickly. Otherwise I just end up torturing myself by thinking about the opportunities I missed or deliberately sabotaged for myself, or end up battling the urge to go out and try to live a better life even though I know it won't work out anyway and I'm just setting myself up for failure.

Tomorrow will be my birthday and I hope it goes over fast.

evola's metaphysics of sex. the footnotes alone are worth it since he goes through so much material. DH lawrence on "sex in the head" is also worth reading if you appreciate evola's take on it. oddly similar to some of heinlein's ideas in starship troopers, about men and women requiring distance and distinctness from one another to achieve meaningful syntheses in their relations. weininger has similar ideas too.

some of you are really losing it. get your shit together bros...

Isn’t it strange that Japanese-made anime and manga, and I guess video games also, appeal to Westerners so much?

If she’s as mentally ill as you say she is she probably isn’t lying. BPD girls really go through emotional troughs disgustingly and inhumanly fast, the reality is just that her feelings are essentially illusions, momentary affectations. The only constant she has is that gnawing hole in her psyche where her person is meant to be

Why are you going to ask for advice and then ridicule 3 separate people that are in agreement? How fucking dense are you? Have fun with the rest of your nosex life you fucking idiot

>>20702683
She does have BPD, but what she does is entirely manipulative. I know how her mood can change on a dime when she splits and I know ways I can usually bring her back. When she wants attention, she says she's suicidal and I know she's saying it because she feels really bad and that's one thing. But she will also use it as leverage to get me not to do things she doesn't want to. She'll say she's in the bathtub and about to take pills when she's really at her friends and has no intention of doing anything. She'll lie and say someone was yelling at her when it never happened because she wants me to hate them. I understand she is ill, but I simply can't take it anymore if she's not going to let herself be helped.

>>20702715
And she doesn't respect herself. If she wanted to help herself, we could make it. But I can't force her to put the effort into getting help, she's the only one who can do that.

>>20702750

Option 1: she reads and considers herself as someone who reads, in which case you rejected a part of her identity.
Option 2: she actually pretends to read. What do you think she's going to say? "Well done"? No, when you catch people in the act, they get angry, go in denial, etc.
Option 3: she neither reads nor pretends to read. In which case it looks very weird that you would say that, and may even anger her.
What was your plan when you sent this? What did you think she was going to reply? What would you reply to someone saying that you look like you pretend to read? If you didn't think about all of that, work on your empathy, else you'll have that kind of problems often. Good luck on your journey

It was resisted—sometimes with guns—by an estimated eighty percent of the Massachusetts population, the last outpost in Barnstable on Cape Cod not surrendering its children until the 1880s, when the area was seized by militia and children marched to school under guard.
>Now here is a curious idea to ponder: Senator Ted Kennedy’s office released a paper not too long ago claiming that prior to compulsory education the state literacy rate was ninety-eight percent and that after it the figure never exceeded ninety-one percent, where it stands in 1990.”

Sorry if my post sounds patronizing but some people have never heard of what I'm about to say so I prefer to be clear.
Her profile is dark academia themed, and her fashion is too. That means that this is probably something important for her. As her response showed (insight is 20/20), she considers herself a smart woman. So in her head, there is this character of a smart woman, that is dark academia themed and probably reads books and stuff. That's the character she's playing right now. An important point about the character: she is smart/reads, so she wears her fashion. The direction is important. When you say that she looks like she pretends to read, you say that she wears fashion and creates a profile so that people will think she reads. This implies: 1) she doesn't read 2) she's not smart 3) she's trying to trick people and not expressing who she is or whatever.
To be fair to her, it's not like it's something that she took personally. "You look like you pretend to do X" is a personal attack. Most people don't react well to criticism, let alone criticism of the "core of their personality".
In this conversation, you lacked tact (you shouldn't tell her that (at least this way) even if you knew her well), and also you started by insulting/teasing the person. That's usually seen as a mistake, but I have no idea if that's true, maybe it's a good way to filter people.

Shut the fuck up faggot. This is my trip. Here’s proof.
My eye blazes the sun’s burning.

The blush of the blue sky is rose flushed,
The bough of the tree blooms with fresh flowers,
The rush of the wind flings the decked bowers,
Making the human eye grow lush.

Pink suns would dye plain earth bonny red,
Sing love should my nature calmly fret,
Brink of brook my brain bursts balmy breath,
King, son, book, high named, mirth, body’s death.

Idyllic idol of crystal whose title is ancient of days,
By phrase in rhyme I praise by mine sayings twined,
As spindle’s winding I’ve brindled and bridled my idle ways,
I place thine sign’s trace and bind the blind and base.

Blessed Being Bring Beauty’s Blameless Breath!
Bold Barry Brawny Blooming Boundless Breadth!
Breast Bolted By Baldur’s Blotting Blazing Barbs!
Brightened Bow Broken Bough Bent bars!
Blithe Babble-Barme’d Bacchhian Born!
Blazon Blemishless But Blamed Batrachian Bourne!
Brandished Blade Burning Bone blee!
Banished Brick But Building’s Best Beam!
Bring Between Both Bears Baal!
Basphemous Blendling Bare Black Bale!
Bream Baboon Bellow Bodily Bliss!
By Booming Brawling Break Batin’s Brim!

I cried as cast damned madness
A sight rapt past man’s palace,
fOr I had basked vasts matchless
Where All chant glad cants balanced.

>>/lit/thread/S20696628

Every /lit/ person ends up being a sell-out midwit in the end. Nobody is actually committed to anything in this dying world. Commitment doesn't exist as a modality anymore. We have regressed to an animal existence. The most "extreme" and "ascetic" people are just in it for the self-image, a form of narcissistic self-consumption and self-idolatry only superficially predicated on a rejection of bourgeois consumption and idolatry. Everybody sucks, everybody settles. This is the age of cattle and it will be succeeded by an age of cockroaches. All the battles are lost.

You could draw a chemical diagram of the compositional and combinatorial possibilities of the entire age on a single piece of paper, and mathematically prove the impossibility of change. The mass is a dispersed gas of single atoms. Anything pressurized enough to be interesting, under local and anomalous conditions bound to disperse eventually in turn, is ipso facto too isolated to be interesting. Isolation leads to rarefication, idiosyncrasy, an effective atomism, mirroring the atomism of the mass. There is no way to act upon the mass, and no point in joining with the localized blobs of merely fitful energy, welling up into little pointless sparks and fizzling out again.

Nothing can come out of this system. An entire galaxy of Boltzmann brains popping into existence couldn't save it from its net entropy. The noosphere has imploded into a nosphere, a no-thing, heat death. Every time you push the boulder back up to the top, your reward is that the hill doubles in size and taunts you with its muteness as the next round begins. To overcome the despair, consciousness has to paradoxically overcome itself, diversify itself into a whole cosmos of conflicting motivations and find itself again, go through an entire phenomenology of spirit, solve et coagula, all just to conceive the mere possibility of throwing oneself against the absurdity of the slope again. And every time it is met with the serene silence of the recursive function. That's the real "two and two make four" Dostoevsky should have worried about. They can also make 16, 32, 64, and so on, all without moving or changing.

Anybody still this dramatic about the loss of cultural sincerity needs to get over themselves. Yes, we know that everyone consumes with cynicism these days, but they also have a deep, human desire for sincerity the same as you. People who watch bad movies do so in part because they're compelled by the poor craftsman filled with passion. Hipsters who cherish locally made goods do so in part because they love the dedication of an individual and feel it in their work. Wine snobs seek smaller and smaller vineyards and spend millions to go find that local who has a secret technique etc. etc. Anybody observant person will find that we all, individually, value sincerity and passion, even if we don't value it as much as a society. They're not all phonies, most of them really do care.

'Neath hill-speckled Brooklyn's sundry avenues
Lies murdered and buried so many a muse,
Blamed in their poets' thick hours of distress.

This interment is no metaphorical thing,
For sometimes in summer rain still they all sing.
A heavy stench hangs: that stench is of death.
Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy howls Auster's breath.

The men for this vile act invent their reasons:
Their faceted souls' woes, their woes of the season,
The season when spirits and crops are distressed.
Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy howls Auster’s breath.

But buried victims, like murderers, rarely sleep lightly,
For summer floods' buoyancy returns them uprightly
Like pus pouring out from a punctured abscess.
Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy howls Auster’s breath.

And beneath the dark clouds' first pitter and patter
Light wind to the guilty seems some dreadful matter
Like a disinterested lover's slow, trembling caress.
Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy howls Auster’s breath.

Skeleton hoarders, although they be artists,
In summer wind stumble so artless, regardless,
Through insistent puffing that polishes flesh.
Huff, huff, huff!
Heavy howls Auster's breath.

Love is deeper than hobbies, Anon. The self is more than a series of consumption choices.

>>20703699
This happens when I try to talk about reading to most people. The majority of people say they read, then when asked literally anything, they say "I don't read as much as I used to" and admit the last book they read was like five years ago. I've stopped asking people if they read because it always makes me feel bad, like I'm trapping them into a situation they can't get out of just by trying to talk about books.

My __wife__ introduces me to her friends with "this is anon, he likes reading and watching movies" and then I have to say "sorry, I really only like boring books and movies" and just get them to talk about their job instead
it kills me, honestly. I wish I was back in college where my professors were obligated to talk to me.

I will not make use of the opportunities that come my way and will even deliberately sabotage them. I will not let myself achieve anything or create anything of value. I will not let myself be happy.

No porn could arouse me, everything seemed dead, but this fuckin pasty white dude with his 5 o'clock shadow and his stoner flannel and a beer in his hand is just SENDING me.

He said Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afire
Fever yea I burn for sooth
Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his misses,
Oh daddy, won't you treat him right
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Cats were born to give chicks fever
Be it Fahrenheit or Centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn

>>20704818
how could you possibly go thru this without even meeting him IRL yet....

>>20704998
not her/him, the worst crush I ever had was on a girl who I saw in the halls of my high school like 5 times and never talked to. deprivation and innate biological attraction will do that to you. I know kids are weird and delusional in general but I really went crazy.

Now imagine you're a caveman or a medieval serf who has met three people outside his immediate family in his whole life and he sees an attractive girl. Back then, I'm sure personality or whether they get along or whatever bullshit we think about today wouldn't have mattered. The only things we humans really care about are looks and status. If you see yourself as an outcast at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy, I don't care who you are, you go insane if someone touches you

>>20705031
'status' is complex and usually includes things like personality and intelligence but you can only gauge these from IRL interactions. I've been through something similar but the crazy didn't onset until I realized she had a boyfriend and so followed a series of pushes/pulls that lasted nearly 6 months of which at its peak resulted in whole days spent in bed daydreaming scenarios. Then came the insistent e-stalking and attempts at getting her to agree to a date. then the cross examining to figure out if she was cheating on her bf (and the pain of having chased a hoe) etc. all this because I had so little contact with her, she was 'forbidden' and her outright cruelty actually drove me deeper into desire. overall it was humiliating but insightful since it kind of drew me out of this narrasistic bubble i could never see until i had to kneel to this girl.

Why don't you lonely zoomers hook up with some foreign women desperate for a Green Card, and marry them?
She'd live with you for a year before she was allowed to split up.

You really shouldn't die as a virgin Anon, there will be very bitter regrets regardless of your correct assessment of women. Be wary that your inexperience makes you prime target for exploitation and cuckoldry, so if you go through with the relationship, however short-term, make sure not to get simped.
Personally I got blackpills shoved down my throat in high school relationship with a slut so I'm not falling for hole ever again, but it's been the most important lesson of my life and I'm thankful for it, despite the pain.

If I knew how to get consistent work, I wouldn't be single (literally this is indirectly why my ex broke up with me, not to mention how much less isolated I'd be if I lived closer to where the action is).
Why do all these "why don't you..." solutions always reveal no thought, a total lack of practical considerations and just generally suck ass?
>>20705150
I am attracted to third world people, but damnit anon why would you pick such an bogged example and undercut your argument at the ankles?

>>20705176
That's the thing, I know a girl will try to exploit and cuck me if she knows I'm a virgin, which is a major part of why I hate them and still haven't been in a relationship with any, and I'm too disgusted by blatant whores to try to get a one night stand with a slut. I have no choice but to swallow my pride and risk getting simped/cucked or remain a virgin forever. I shouldn't have been such a sperg in middle school, then I would've gotten with a girl when they are still pure.

Does one need extensive background in philosophy to gain value from philosophers like Baudrillard and Nietzsche?

>>20705277
you will gain more value from plato anyway, just read him.

Nietzsche is pretty entry-level as far as philosophy goes but I would revisit his works later if you continue to pursue philosophy to get the full gist of it. Although you should always start with the greeks.

I wrote 2 parts today
==========
The world watched this in awe and fear, declaring in a multitude of voices "This is a nightmare!" Voicing their growing discontent with their defenders.
To have the entity to raise his head as a golden flame burst around his body, the sky darkening behind the entity.
Black clouds swirling above the ruined crumbled kingdom, the three beings floated forward, the humanoid stayed in the middle,
As the two demons seethed the smaller one hesitating before yelling enraged "I am not working with this filthy monkey!"
After declaring this his body erupts into a deep purple flames, lightning crashed down onto his body before he flew ahead.
The larger demon shook his head placing his hand on the humanoids shoulder letting out an audible sigh "What an impatient child, we should go after him"
The humanoid nodded his head before instantly vanishing.

The doppelganger watched the three as the shorter demon charges, he flexed his arms and body as the same golden glow burns around him, melting away at the hull of the flagship around him,
The flagships weapons fired as the demon charged, a barrage of missiles and beams fired from the ship, the doppel ganger cupped his hands, charging an attack.
"You will die..I WILL END YOU, FAKER!" The little demon screamed in fury, golden cracks forming on his flesh as he was impacted by missles and beams.
with a scream he charged, his body enveloped in a deep purple miasma, knocking missles away, dispersing beams, he charged ever forward.
A large blue wave of energy overwashed the demon, the wave continued its course only to be back handed by the entity himself, with a scoff.


The flagship was suddenly overwashed by a massive ball of flames, the small demon flew into the ship, ripping it in half as he passed through, coming out on the other side as it fell apart.
From above the doppelganger was hit by a twin blast, snapping the ship into two halves, and below it the earth cratered as it was blasted away.
==

>>20705444
The flagship slowly fell, the doppelganger along with it, only a head, the three beings rejoined, each one raising their hands as they began gathering energy.
Children cried, old women cried, the old dogs cried. It was all over.
The entity joined the trio, raising a single hand as the ball of energy expanded, washing the crumbling realm in a mystical blue light.
The doppelganger, still alive, watched with only a good eye as the ocean blue ball continued to grow.
All three beings rose into the ball itself seeming to vaporize as they donate their beings to the ball.
The world quaked, the skies broke open, revealing beatiful blue for the last time, the world over was now brilliant blue.
birds sang for the end.

The entity threw his hand forward as the massive ball of energy began to move rapidly towards the kingdom where the doppel came from.
the last bastion, a massive fortress of a mecha caught the ball and held it, for but a moment it seemed as if it would throw it aside.
Only to be awash in its energies and being vaporized, its own power fueling the death ball.

Time stood still as the ball smashed into the kingdoms defensive shields, draining it to nothing with a shattering of glass.
But there was no storm, it was serene.

The entity raised a finger, and fired a purple beam that streaked through the sky in an instant, impacting the ball, expanding it rapidly as it swallowed up the kingdom.
In space the blue blinding light of the explosion swallowed a large swath of the planets eastern hemisphere and in its wake blue flames licked the surface.
nothing but a burning blue crater.

Where mercury vapor tints it some night elysium

A spider came on my desk. I tried to push it away, but she disappeared. For a while, I was worried that she would suddenly reappear, especially since it's one of those spiders with longs and thin legs and the lack of sleep is making me see thin lines that don't exist. Fortunately she's back at her spot on the ceiling.

Kyiv is Ukrainian (Киiв)
Kiev is Russian (Киeв)

Pronunciation doesn't matter. It's not a transcription, it's a transliteration.
Please trust me. I'm Russian and I'm a linguist as well.

The reason it's associated with women is because women never go bald
And that's only true for hwites. for example injuns don't bald, so they wear a full head of long hair even when super old.. .. .

Ah, I see. Still, they’re making a big fuss over the pronunciation lately and “keev” sounds so wrong

A big spider (probably a wolf) made its way across the almost too ideal-looking ceiling of my bedroom a week ago. I was happy to see it, but haven't seen it since. Jumping spiders especially are far too infrequent for my liking where I live, which is one of the most intensively cultivated places on the planet. It's a serene place, almost relentlessly prosperous, but I'm a little lonely here without a little more in the way of disheveled spaces.

You're speaking English, so pronounce it as whatever is most comfortable to an English tongue.
You don't call our capital "Moss-kva", you say "Mos-cow" which is completely wrong but that's English.

Some have been saying “Mos-co” and I just can’t understand why.
