Today, after all these years I finally learned how to read, and more importantly use a vectorscope. I always knew that the circumference indicated hue but now I understand how saturation works and it's becoming so much easier to match shots

try and pivot your ideology around how you look. don't be a stoic if you look dark and aristocratic. don't follow epicureanism if you look ruddy and healthy.

I feel that the sole pursuit of money is a 'feminine' corruption. feminine in the sense that is is far too close to nature and otherwise short sighted. I say this because undoubtedly any and everyone that goes down this route ultimately lands in industries that are meaningless and boring frankly, namely sex work (of all types), drug dealing, "sales" , drugs, etc. none of these places produce anything new but give life to a endless cycle of desire.

We should really admire people who build stuff despite the fact that these people are less glamorous and largely fail. For these people there is an ideal that sits above the money and it is usually something like excellence and soul.

Transgenderism is zero pussy cope.

Pornography is societally destabilizing because it allows people to see sexual images of others who are too hot for them. The whole incel thing wouldn't be a deal without porn. It's the same principle as, "if the poor knew how much better the rich had it (or more pointedly. how much worse they the poor had it) they'd be up in arms about it immediately." . Once such a forbidden veil has been lifted what must be the psychologically normal response upon viewing your sexual superiors in all their exposed glory is a bittersweet, but mostly bitter, mixture of arousal and resentment. If it weren't for porn, some degree of innocence would be preserved . Something would be left to the imagination, naked beauty a fabled, mysterious paradise somewhere across the sea. The forbidden veil would maintain its role as a boundary keeping the rapturous entanglements of hot people private and preserving the blissful ignorance of the less fortunate. Therefore society would remain in balance. All that has been torn away and I do feel it has deranged and debased something in people. (Particularly horny, angry young guys.)

I find the whole thing a very aspirational, non-white, 2nd-gen, migrant mentality. It's too far from my own WASPish background for me to have any strong feelings about it, but that is what it seems to me as I had friends like that growing up. The profile, so far as I have experienced, is a male born of immigrant parents, probably 2nd or 3rd son rather than 1st, who has been instilled with that classic migrant drive to succeed in a new country that borders on anxiety, but is not as academic as the eldest child who is the favourite (and expected to study law,finance,medicine) , and so begins prioritizing flash and base displays of material wealth while idolizing hip hop stars. Inevitably they go in to a field like Real Estate, Club Promotions, something to do with custom cars, or crime if they are particularly anti-social.

Almost without thinking , with will too slight for feeling
I will cause a glittering arc of frozen popsicle colored impatiens to bloom

Under a huge burgundy maple next year, to an effect
More formal than Versailles

Designers intend,
Too opportune for usual improvisation.

Through father's picture window we learned the constellations and
She remarked, in her slight nightgown,

Glacial changes in atmosphere, the sense of Christmas in Hawaii.

Self-sacrifice sounds beautiful. But witnessing it is yucky. Or more precisely: self-sacrifice in itself is neither beautiful nor yucky. It depends on whether a beautiful or a yucky person sacrifices himself.

In casual conversation I'd never run out of memories--
Slutisha on the phone, Bryan driving up Longs Peak, lithe Joe almost feelingly happy to see me

As I am to see him, the near ultrasound sonorousness brown mantises chorusing,
Rich chicks in Rolls Wratiths on Magnificent Mile,

Craig and Sultan,
Gay niggers from outer space,

Men good beyond belief, saints all my gardens are monuments to.

I want to manifest my rage, a towering inferno of hatred for the niggers and shitskins. I hear their screams and wretched cries as the world burns around them.

I pour over the news in hopes of any significant suffering, the greater the impact and permanency, the deeper my own joy.
I think about the events that brought me low and the kinds of characters it takes to live the life of a cop or a doctor. Yes, I fucking take meds, but not because of any delusion or instability. It's because I made the mistake of letting them know how angry and how effective I was.
And still their ignorance sears me, at my pride and dignity, the fact that they stand in the way of their own path and mine for the sake of themselves, for the sake of nothing...I bear it every night as I plan a method for illuminating their weaknesses, so that they may be brought low.
That they may suffer would only be the beginning of my machinations.

I have already started and still do not know if my path will lead to success. Yet I curse them with every breath even as my once indomitable spirit fails me. My rage, a fleeting memory of a limitless godhood, yearns more for everlasting victory.

pussy is kinda gross tbf and nowhere near as tight as your fap hand. i'd still prefer sex purely for the ego boost but it's not worth the pain of dealing with women.

My problem with sex is that it's cool for the first 30 seconds when you are like "oh wow, I'm inside a woman" but when the initial novelty subsides its just a lot of work.
Honestly would rather just stick my dick in, take it out and high five my bros later that day for getting laid. But you have to do all that fucking thrusting and try to give a shit that she is having a good time. It's a hassle.

If I absolutely have to have sex I just do doggystyle these days. It makes me cum the fastest and I don't have to look at the woman's face.

Would rather read or play vidya tho

I'm growing ever more tired of the 'us vs them'-mentality. Why is it, that people can not accept different viewpoints or choices of another? Zoomers use tiktok, boomers might use facebook, some people use android other use iphones. Why is there no respect for the other side? If the tool manages to connect to your aunt or grandma, then it doesn't matter, if you used tiktok or fb. I am aware of all the privacy concerns and don't use either of both services and the addictive properties of either services. The point, that just doesn't fade is the 'me use fb, because I hate tiktok-users'-mentality and how it translates to a lot of points in everyday-life. The phone, the pc, the car you drive, the milk you buy, the country you're from, the job you have or the generation you are born. Why is this elitism creeping so deep? Is being part of the 'cool kids'-group so appealing? How can adults not grow out of this and continue to think like this for so long? It's just saddening. Sorry for the doomposting

>>20754395
Oh yes, I forgot. Why is the middleground so ignored? There's plenty of people using both fb and tiktok occasionally. They do not identify to either group, but it looks like there are only hardliners on either side.

I am not sure how I feel about getting into philosophy and stuff, while it makes me 'sound' smarter around my friends, I wasted time that I could be doing another Kaggle project or learning something else that actually helps me with my jobs.

here's a question for you anons. when you were young, say, in your early twenties, did you ever read something that prompted you to radically alter your entire worldview? i remember when i was around 21 or 22 i read uncle ted, and was overwhelmed with this feeling of frantic rapture, it was almost alarming—everything, all the horrible dissonances of the world suddenly made perfect sense.
anyone else experience something like that? the initial ecstasy wore off long ago, but the ideas uncle ted imparted in that book still underly a great deal of my basic worldview. i'd be interested to read books that had similar impacts on other people

interesting. i have a bit of an autistic theory about the nature of beauty (i'm not well-versed in philosophy so it's probably pretty retarded).
it goes like this:
i believe that the closest thing we can get to a 'good-in-itself' is beauty. beauty is the purpose of life, and it justifies the existence of the universe as well as the life within it. i believe life is a manifestation of beauty, and that life most partakes in beauty when it is healthy. health is therefore a good way to measure beauty. as it happens, strength is among the most obvious indicators of health; strength roughly and indirectly reflects beauty.

according to my theory of beauty, self-sacrifice would only be beautiful if it increased the strength (and thus the beauty) of one's family or friends or culture or something idk.
if my theory is wrong, someone should explain why. i'd be interested in a debate about the nature of beauty

>>20754256
you don't love yourself? why not?

I was hired as part time a few months ago but have been working nearly 40 hour weeks due to understaffing. It’s a shitty job and they regularly assign me the shifts and tasks nobody else wants to do. I finally got so burnt out that I asked to be cut down to 20-25 hours per week but they scheduled me for 30 hours. To rub salt in the wound, there’s a woman who I work with who works 20-25 hours, regularly calls out, always comes in 15-30 minutes late, and who called the night before this schedule period and said she can’t work any of her shifts. And they just allow it while working me to the bone.

>>20754497
well that's shitty. you could always look for a new job, anon. what kind of job is it?

>>20754506
I’ve posted here before about it, I work as a pharmacy technician. I’m hesitant to quit for three reasons. One is I already went through the trouble of getting certified and licensed. Two is I’m in nursing school and it would look good on job applications after I graduate. Three is I’m still learning to drive so I’m limited to jobs within walking distance.

>>20754524
i see. how old are you? also, what are is your ideal career path, that is, do you have an "end-goal" position that you want to end up in?

>>20754549
I’m in my twenties. I’m not sure what I want to do once I graduate nursing school, besides nursing obviously. But I don’t know what field of nursing I want to go into yet. I’d also like to move out of state if possible, as I’ve lived here my entire life and hate it here.
I’ve considered transferring from CVS to another pharmacy, but the only other two options in my area are Walgreens and Walmart. Walgreens is just as bad as CVS and pharmacy technician positions are highly competitive at Walmart because it’s generally considered to be the best retail pharmacy chain to work for. I don’t have enough experience to get hired as a pharmacy technician at a hospital or long term care facility, sadly.

>>20754349
What is it about?

>>20754559
the reason i asked is because i've heard quite a lot of... interesting information about the pharmaceutical industry, and was wondering if you wanted to go into that. just out of curiosity (i'm bored, having my morning coffee rn), what do you do as a pharmacy technician? it sounds like it could be complicated but idk. is it more tedious labor and menial or does it require a lot of mental energy?

There are no good arguements to support the claim we have a free will, are they? Being a bot, living in a world of bots who claim to be something more than a bot. How do i even go on with this life?

>Inb4 someone tells me to start believing otherwise
>have happy thoughts anon and it will get better

Problem is that i have been doing this for my whole life and trying to understand what or why something happens is only getting me closer to madness. Coping is not just hard, but probably, in the end one will realise that it was not even worth it. Like putting dust under the rug and calling the room clean.

>>20754580
i'm curious: if we grant that free-will is illusory, doesn't life simply go on exactly as it did before? the question isn't intended to provoke you or anything; i've genuinely never really understood why people prioritize free-will so much.
is the illusion is not convincing enough so that it doesn't matter whether or not it's an illusion?

>>20754560
It's a mystery novel about 4 childhood friends who decide to track down their missing 3 girl classmates 20 years after they have vanished

It's set in an "urban fantasy" world of the popular RPG Disco Elysium - and was completely unknown until the game came out and blew up in popularity. The game itself is a lot like a book as well - lots of writing, prose, dialogue, not much gaming

an official English translation was promised in 2020 and now it's 2022 and there's not a word on it

I love the game and i really wanna fucking read the book now. ive read the first 3 chapters that were poorly translated by some amateur fan - and despite the quality, it was still such kino that I am now going insane and desiring the rest. So a google translation would do for me, even.

>>20754571
Pharmacy technicians mainly receive and input prescriptions into the pharmacy's software system, fill prescriptions, sell prescriptions to customers, register people for and administer vaccinations (only for flu and COVID though, the pharmacist has to handle all other vaccinations), perform COVID tests on patients, answer the phone, and handle daily deliveries and inventory. There are a million other odd jobs and tasks, but those are the main ones. On top of that, it is almost always extremely busy. There is always a line and the phone is always ringing.

>>20754571
>>20754610
>interesting information about the pharmaceutical industry
As for the pharmaceutical industry, at least half of our prescriptions are for controlled substances. Half of that half is Adderall and benzos. It's insane how hard this shit is being pushed.

>>20754609
I have a THEORY that they are secretly adapting the book into Disco Elysium 2
>book takes place 20 years after
>protagonist, Tereesz, is a detective also
>the only existing goodreads review describes the book as "RPG-like"
>no translation and no word on it, no word on the sequel game also

>>20754610
yeah that sounds pretty tiring. i guess your best bet (besides just sticking it out) could be to try and get transferred to a different, less busy pharmacy. of course, i now remember you mentioning that distance is an issue.
if you ask me, getting a driver's license should be priority #1 since it's going to be pre-requisite to solving tons and tons of problems that will crop up in life; but you likely know that already.
if it makes you feel any better, i don't have a job and can't make myself do anything hard at all—i dropped out of school and waste away on inheritance money. you're a step ahead of a lot of us here in terms of character development

>>20754604
> if we grant that free-will is illusory, doesn't life simply go on exactly as it did before?

We can't grant it, even if it eventually gets scientifical proven that free will is an illusion, it will never be acceptable by the masses who still seek meaning in this world. If your choices arent yours, if yourself doesnt exist, if you are a nothing struggling to become something. Your only guaranteed knowledge is that of death and life becomes insufferable.
To grant that notion means accepting the harsh reality. When i look around i see so many distractions, even now i am sitting on a vietnamese anime board because i am fucking tired of listening to myself.

In case humans realise that are just another animal species, inflicted by the disease called consciousness, stripping them from everything that makes them in their heads "special", probably world will be a better place, maybe then we can all be content for simply existing and stop going after meaningless things.
Untill then it is either suicide or chosing to be illusioned, knowing that this choice has no value, anything you choose is only a mean to your end, it is a fucking cope.

I don't get poetry.
So I just write stuff and organize it in a very specific manner
And then that's poetry?
And then I repeat stuff, over and over.
Or make it sound repeaty.
And that's it?
What's the big deal then?
What's good poetry?
It's uncomprehensible to me, it feels like everybody is LARPing.
But is it me that don't get it? Likely.
Schopenhauer said poetry was good.
I trust Schopenhauer.
So I cannot be right.

>>20754674
i don't know if my take on this will mean anything to you, but i think of it like this: perhaps we are merely material automatons acting out the will of nature; is this really so bad? the source of suffering here is that desire to emerge as something from nothing; however, it is clearly only the mysterious laws of nature directing us to do this: we aren't ironically inverting the ordeal by struggling in this way. for some strange reason, nature has laid down rails for us to struggle at escaping its rails.
this does seem a little cruel, given that, if all that stuff i just said is correct, it would seem that the laws of the universe have composed us in such a way so that we suffer on account of our very nature; yet, i think that isn't the final conclusion we can make here.
i don't know what your spiritual views are, but this natural property of consciousness seems rather suspicious to me.
let me ask you this: do you believe that the universe consists of chaos and random chance events, or do you think it has an ultimate purpose?

>>20754463
>did you ever read something that prompted you to radically alter your entire worldview?
Yes, the interviews of Michelangelo Antonioni totally changed my approach to art and now that I think about it my interests and preoccupations. I started to value art and try to make art that rather than using tokens or proxies "X is meant to represent Y", instead x was X, that is to use metaphors where the subject embodied the qualities of what it was meant to represent. This could be as simple as making letters or typeface squat and fat if the topic is hedonism. or it could be something like the way Nabokov describes Pnin's clumsiness subjectively as his being in a constant war with inanimate objects that appear to leap out or have conflict with him. I think indirectly it lead to my love of pantomime and an interest in Daniel Dennett's "Intentional Systems Theory". My very interests and tastes have changed indirectly.
Also Ray Dalio's Principles, it made me realize that I was always looking for broad top-down solutions to everything which explained why I never fixed anything. Instead I needed to document specific processes that and problems and work bottom-up, finding common root causes. It profoundly changed how I viewed the world and has helped me answer the question "how did I get this wrong?" much more often.

>>20754736
consider music. it's really just different frequencies with waveforms that fit together in mathematically harmonious ways. different frequencies will come together, clash, harmonize, and evolve over a steady grid through time.
poetry is like music, but it occupies a different medium and doesn't use sound waves to be interpreted; it uses words/symbols (with which we associate much broader ideas) and it uses various methods of harmonizing those words/symbols with each other.

>>20754761
>it made me realize that I was always looking for broad top-down solutions to everything which explained why I never fixed anything. Instead I needed to document specific processes that and problems and work bottom-up, finding common root causes. It profoundly changed how I viewed the world and has helped me answer the question "how did I get this wrong?"
Was there a specific problem?

>>20754739
>nature has laid down rails for us to struggle at escaping its rails
This impliesthat nature is also conscious which then makes it, more or less, a living being. Nature didnt lay down any rails for us or anything, this is just our wishful thinking in order to make sense of this world and find meaning.
So this answers your question, there are no arguements i have come upon that can slightly convince me the universe has an ultimate purpose, unless that purpose is to eventually die.
When i read those various theories that circulate around, the theories claiming that universe, or maybe just the human species has a great goal to achieve there are so many paradoxes created at the same time. All of these positive thinking theories require you to affirm a belief that consciousness is something holy that doesnt need to be justified, that humans are the beings closest to a godly existence. Now just with a look in my mirror i see no such thing. No god, no human, nothing. Just an animal hoping to cope, that a belief system will be enough to sustain me to the end of my time.
So, chaos and random chance of events, that's all there is.

>>20754860
you're not going to like this answer. The closest but most honest and accurate answer I can give you is: "failure to grasp the miltitudiousness of problems and instead group them into vague and unactionable labels like 'finance', 'schedule', 'notetaking', or 'persuasion'".
There is no single biggest problem because it is the sheer volume of problems that while individually may be negligible in ensemble feel insurmountable.

For instance, both the medical and psychiatric community largely deny that repressed emotions can cause anxiety disorders and chronic pain because it doesn't fit perfectly into to the physicalist humanist worldview where we already know everything about how everything works thanks to science. As if Freud was entirely some complete retard.

Some medical doctor, John Sarno, found that in many instances of years of chronic pain for which surgery and medications don't help, the patient has been stuffing down unwanted or unacceptable feelings, desires or beliefs into their subconscious. Conscious awareness and acceptance of their true feelings alleviates years of pain, and a similar treatment has been shown to be effective in many cases of anxiety disorders. But this is disregarded as quackery by medical and psych communities at large. So then you have smug redditors on r/insomnia, r/chronicpain and r/anxiety and all the other psych boards (I know, Go back) endlessly ranting about how they are the true biological case and how they clearly just haven't found the right dietary treatment or medication while refusing to look within themselves for a solution.

The ultimate paradox of Philosophy Pessimism:

The more you push the more you will love. The more beauty you will. The more alive you will become. The more new ways you will invent to look at the world. The more pleasure you will feel. In highs you will become so happy to the point of being euphoric. In the lows you will become a monster, a volcano. But you will be the most alive.
All of this despite knowing that only suffering, pain, disease, boredom and death are real. You will along this burden with you everywhere. Your abyss will deepen to point that normal people can't comprehend. It will become harder for you to depart from. You will be the most alive after fully grasping the darkness.

The paradox.
I am a pessimist.
I love life.
I see beauty everywhere.
I see decay everywhere.
I see death everywhere.
I see mystery everywhere.
I see beauty everywhere.
I really wish I wasn't born.
I love life in the highs.
I hate life in the lows.
I am the most alive.
I am the most alive.

I didn't choose to be born, I was thrown into the world. I exist. This condition is inherently dehumanizing. There is no more cruel action than to force someone to endure the pain of existence. Without the certainty of death our lives would be a hopeless chaos.

So are there any contemporary weird-fiction/fantasy writers that cam rival Peake's prose? He has basically ruined me.

I don't think we should encourage everyone having an opinion that they should share and have considered. I understand the irony of my idea being an opinion but I still think it has some merit, though I do admit I'm biased. My line of thinking comes from the fact that not everyone who has an opinion has an educated one. Sure, you can just make up whatever you feel like saying at that particular moment about the subject but what does that add to anything? Should that opinion carry as much weight as one by an actual expert on the topic? I'd say no. I'd at least say an amateur's opinion carries some weight and merit, but not as much.

I'm just annoyed lately because now that I've started seeing people give their opinions about things they know nothing about I can't stop seeing it because it's annoying me. Maybe it wouldn't bother me so much if they didn't defend their inanity, or worse, others defend it, and they'd just be ignored and slide down to nothing. But no, everyone gets to have an opinion and they're all valid? Stupid.

I take Adderall after being prescribed it by my doctor after bringing it up and filling out a questionnaire form. This is also after my mom was told I should get it checked out as a kid (my grandmother, a nurse, said I wasn't hyperactive so clearly I didn't have ADHD...) and being told by a friend, with diagnosed and medicated ADD, after observing and understanding, that i have ADD. This started the path and here I am. I am medicated, know it works, and enjoy it. Of course, this is after being a kid and having to try to be an adult yet failing at it. It really helps my executive dysfunction and allows me to focus on things for longer than I ever would. Obviously, this isn't something that can be cured and even on medication I still have to cope with it.

We live in a messed up society that is pretty unnatural and in order for a lot of people to function and fit in they need those medications. It's a lot easier to prescribe pills than it is to fix society.

Have you ever made a mistake in life that completely reoriented the way you think and live? It's only been a bit since my mistake but I've lost 10 lbs and I'm just living life better.

>>20756454
In what way? I don't think any of the people I know who've been on it for a long time seem worse for the wear.

>>20756449
idk about adderal but ritalin was essentially just really weak meth so you could crush it up and snort it. they don't even let you buy supposedly over the counter drugs with pseudophedrin or whatever in it anymore because you can make meth out of, are they really just going to sell what is essentially heavily cut meth over the counter? i mean that would be cool i bet my productivity would go way up.

>>20756375
lol, I'll start using that from now on

>>20756472
Ritalin is actually the least like meth, it's not an amphetamine at all. Desoxyn is probably what you're thinking of, which is, in fact, literally just a very small dose of meth.

>>20756472
>>20756489
Although I can see how you'd make the mistake, they're both methylated, so their chemical names are similar; methylphenidate vs methamphetamine

>>20756489
well methylphenidate is definitely some kind of upper because if you crush ritalin and snort you will get hyperactive as fuck and won't shut up for hours. i don't do hard drugs so idk if that's more like meth or more like coke, but it's like something.

>>20756521
Sure, but you can also crush up and snort caffeine pills. We just sort of arbitrarily decide which drugs are acceptable to abuse.

(Madagascar Fresnel)

Vermillionend coolness would be quite heavy next to
White vinca in the 2pm of possible time

When and where it's almost almost August and the clouds are definite yet
Giant beyond the glacial frosts of

Granite floating into faintly terrifying heights
Intense to sight as the cloud tops of Venus but so delightfully pure

None would trade a site so high in feeling
For the imagination that infers diamond raining deep under Neptune's blue.

Comparatively mellow to vision
Heirloom petunias arranged into a tall fountain

Track it like a radio dish array mushroomed on lawn oceanic in a nuclear grid
Suavely glittering with cottonwood Elysium shades

Like anticipated wishing,
Things baroque at its best merely recommends

Or seems to recall.

coming down off ritalin is nothing like caffeine though which is probably why. the ritalin comedown significantly affects your mood.

I liked a few of his videos that I saw. Maybe I'll look into some of his writings if he has any.

>>20756606
I suppose that could be the case. Anecdotal, and I don't snort the Ritalin i take, but I find the come down to be much more mellow than caffeine, which I experience more as a crash into fatigue. I also don't experience the physical withdrawal symptoms I get from caffeine when I go off Ritalin for a week. I think if everyone processed it the way I do it would be the preferable option, but I also have a pretty distinct case of ADD

>>20756633
crush a pill up and snort see how you feel lol but ya caffeine withdrawals are extremely unpleasant like physically painful. never did enough ritalin to have a habit, only did it a few times, but the comedown was like you have no emotions and don't care about anything. it's weird and more unpleasant than it sounds, especially after rambling passionately for the whole night. the worst legal drug through is alcohol, if there was ever a move to ban it again i would not mind. it's like every time some school shooting happens they want to ban guns, but more people are in prison and graveyard from alcohol right now, but it never gets revisited.

>>20756455
It was a mistake I made but which also had a lot more consequences than I was expecting. I don't think things would be different now but I am happier yes

I actually, legitimately want the world to burn.
I want humanity to scream and wail in horror as it witnesses its own demise.
And why is this such a bad thought anyway? In our short time on this earth we have accomplished naught but slaughter and suffering, and for what? To embarrass ourselves with our mundane and boring lives?
Ending all existence would be a mercy far surpassing the biblical salvation.

Men and women are different enough to be considered different species. Nay, different kingdoms entirely.

I am collecting all data on the differences. This is sure to enhance my writing of the sexes.
I do not think of them as inferior or worse though. I'll reserve judgement on that until the great mystery is fully solved. Currently I believe they have immense good/usefullness in them that an ideal society will make use of in full, with men and women each flourishing in their respective fields.

Pastebin thought it was sexist, though. So I use this intead.

Normalfags seemed to like Thanos killing half of humanity so it's probably not controversial for youngshits in general. But none of them has the power to do anything like that so those thoughts just stay buried.

For the last few weeks, I've been getting this sudden sense of "anxiety" – in quotes because I'm not sure how to call it properly – like, sometimes I might sit behind the screen and out of nowhere comes this sense of danger and fear that makes me want to immediately hide somewhere, even if the room is empty and nothing is happening. I am not sure if I've known this feeling before, but lately I've been having it almost every day. First I thought it might be caffeine, so I cut down on coffee, I tried taking a walk, tried sleeping it off, but it's like my mind is in the constant state of alert. I have no money for pills or doctor of any kind. I'm in my early twenties if that matters. I've also been noticing a lot more synchronicity happening in my daily life, though I only remember of the fact of synchronicity occurring, but not the subject matter itself. Has anyone else been feeling the same way as of late, is it some collective unconscious shit or am I losing it?

They are in control of the Pikes Peak batholith and the multi-trillion-dollar granite tunnel system—a highly symbolic 40 miles west of Denver, Colorado in the Front Range. But they are in control of much more than the end-time survival apparatus. They control not only the military and government of the United States of America but through the power of major corporations and the corruptibility of businessmen and government officials, fiat currency manipulation by the WiΩards of Fiat Currency at the Federal Reserve System, a small army of propagandists and “hackers” (this is a technically incorrect use of the term) who are fighting to maintain control of the Frankenstein monster they created called the Internet (in a war I fear they are going to lose), and even the Republican form of government they created which inevitably—and I would argue by design—fosters centralized control and assures only a handful of “elected” officials must be compromised to control an entire country, they control the entire Western world.

I just can't with people who bitch about Bezos. The reason your country doesn't look like the fucking Congo is people like Bezos. "He's exploiting workers" or something, like fuck off, who cares, the guy is an autist nerd who built a commerical empire through sheer will and fantastical conscientiousness, that's fucking impressive, the immaculate male ideal, the thing that all men shoul aspire to. And before you go retard on me that doesn't mean chasing slavishly after money, just striving for excellence in whatever you do (not that there's anything wrong with chasing after money mind you). Feminized establishment types hate his and Musk's ilk because they're too masculine, too autistic for their taste, yet right wingers absurdly take their side on this particular issue. Yeah, the guys who are wrong about literally everything, who want to castrate your son and mutilate your daughter are right about this one. Right. Again, please don't come at me with that slave morality bullshit about exploiting wagies and capitalism or whatever. Bezos is good, he's done more to sbenefithumanity than any government bureaucracy has ever done, or is ever likely to do.

Star Trek really ruined me on what I thought being an adult would be like. I remember watching TNG and Voyager with my grandfather and was always amazed, even as a kid, by how everyone was mostly calm and respectful towards one another. They were able to remain professional, get the job done, and communicate effectively with each other. They acted like what I thought adults would act like. Now, I'm not saying you can't be goofy or anything because it's a part of life. But, there was always a... higher ability? I don't know how to explain it. Everyone acts like an admiral on the Enterprise. Basically an asshole who is trying to get ahead or do something conniving.

I try to be polite at all times, except when I'm with my close friends since we like to goof off. I rarely lose my cool in public. Last time I did I had a couple of factors against me which were a time limit, a very hot building, a stuffy mask on, and the self-checkout reader gave me an error. All of that culminated and I went, "shit!" Not terribly loud, but loud enough to be heard. Once I realized what I had done, I immediately turned to the people behind me and apologized. They chuckled and said it was fine, and I'm more ok with it now than I was but it was just uncharacteristic of me.

Anyway, yeah. Things are grim and people seem to be jerks and unprofessional.

There's some strange sense of longing I have for some mystic connection to the land I live on as an American. Europeans and west Asians have long had a religious connection to their continent share through many tales, from Greek Mythology to Arthurian legend. I'm just a guy living in another suburbia. I like the climate in my state, and I would be out of place if I wasn't living in it, but build an American suburb in Italy and it would feel just like where I live. America may have the motto of "God Bless America" but the land I live on feels blessed by none. This was not the desert where the Israelis trekked for 40 years. There is no Oracle of Delphi here. Maybe the Amerindians had some mythology to where I live, but they are long gone now nor are they of my race and culture. There's no wisdom to be sought in the ground beneath me. Maybe the Amerindians didn't have mythology specific to where I live. They were probably nomadic, after all. I could be a nomad. As long as the climate is arid and dry I can sleep at night. That wouldn't give me any sense of spiritual connection to the land I live on, though. That's what I really want.

It's unsettling to know that I'll never truly know how I appear to other people and what they think of me. Not that I particularly care what people think of me, in fact because I'll never know what they think of me I don't put any conscious effort into making sure I come off in a certain way. But in the eyes of the people that know me I could be a completely different person from who I think I am. I can think of at least two, maybe three people in my immediate family that seem to think I'm completely unlike what I think I am, and I'm curious as to where their conclusions as to who I am came from. Sometimes it's frustrating on how much they get wrong about me, but there's not much I'm going to do to change it. After all, their idea of who I am is just as valid as my idea of who I am. They think I'm like that because they've only known me to be like that.

whats that? some kind of bioenergy?

It has been a few years since I've first fallen for the mewing meme. There's no way for me to know for sure if it works or not but I certainly have more defined facial features than I did since I've started and have a noticeable jawline compared to my peers. I've always been thin so my jawline has always been visible, but my family all has wide cheekbones, but now mine are the widest out of theirs. This could just be the result of growing a bit since I've started mewing, or perhaps mewing actually does work. I don't take pictures of myself so there's no way I can get a proper comparison, all I have to go by are the few pictures of me that weren't taken by myself. Without a good side-by-side I remain skeptical of mewing despite the fact that I keep doing it. I find it hard to believe that getting defined facial features is as simple as getting into the subconscious habit of keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth. It made my jaw and tongue sore at first but within a year of doing it, it felt weird not to have my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I'm still not particularly attractive despite my "mewing transformation" which I find unfortunate but I choose not to dwell on my physical defects anymore. Hopefully mewing doesn't turn out to have some horrible long term side-effects. It's going to be hard to stop it now.

Why did poetry get so bad after the mid twentieth century? Did the Second World War really destroy our ability to think rhythmically or with cadence? I can’t be bothered reading someone’s vers libre nor internet poetry, lazily filled with half similes and confessional feelings. The haikus written by western retards who don’t know what seasonal words/chop words are, nor the way to translate heft of 5-7-5, etc., should really stop as well. Bring back meter and rhyme so that the children can learn how to think again.

This makes me sad. My brothers are identical twins, both fairly introverted guys but their unspoken relationship and almost complete acceptance and understanding of eachother is out of this world. Can't imagine how one would go if the other passed away...

>>20757875
lol

>>20756278
I’m an identical twin. I think we just know each other really well. I never really got over my complex of being a twin though.

Saying you ought to have sex is more true than saying the sky is blue. You only perceive the sky as blue because you ought to have sex.

How to pick up GIRLS:
>interrupt them while speaking
>slap them
>sneeze in their mouths
>tell them they have small tits
>burn small cigarrettes in their hands
>lock them inside your car
Do this for a while aand they eventually fall in love with you

>In the North American system men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process. Certain principles contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, radio, television, churches, and especially schools. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it. He cannot grow or mature. This sort of conspiracy cannot help but provoke violent individual rebellions.

We civnats tried to tell you that blood-based nationalism is retarded, but nooo. "Muh blood & soil, muh racial reincarnation...." Truly the blood & soil nationalist is a moron.

>>20760759
Easy, promote the French language. It makes you different from America, and linguistic nationalism neatly solves the problem of immigration: teach them French.

>>20760642
Pretty disingenuous when it's coercion or else you die. Reminds me of the mantra in the Bible that is often taken literally by American "Christians." 'He who does not work does not eat.' They think that wage slavery is work, and not simply busywork for the owner class. Very sad. I work part time at a hobby store. It is in no way fulfilling, though it can be fun to relax and chat about the hobby with regulars and even newcomers. Yet, the training inevitably kicks in and I have to read from the script. Mostly. I don't even really try to get people to buy things, except half-jokingly. The people that come to the store already have the intent to buy something, and sometimes they just don't know what.

I hate my job. It does not help anything but a company's quarterly profits.

You are a painfully retarded pussy. You're saying you want to be a farmer with none of the risks of that comes with being at the mercy of fate and nature. Lmao

>>20757638
Wow why the duck did you get a masters. I know dudes that only went to community colleges to get access to cameras and shit that have steady work and do their passion projects in their niche interests on the side. Imagine having to take out crippling college loans, selling your parents property and assets once they die just to pay off your terminal stupidity.

Was gonna take the stars
But you're a woman
Was gonna have more wars
But you're a woman
Was gonna say something
But won't waste it on a woman

I wrote this in a minute inspired by a post by a woman. The post wasn't even bad, it just seemed like a woman. I love women but I also love this dumb poem and dumb misogyny (dumb misandry too, all men are violent rapists). In the poem I blame women for humans not going to space more which sounds dumb but I still think there's something to it. The urge to go to space for no apparent reason is pretty male.

I had a job as a park attendant/fee collector for the government. In the off-season of fall and winter, I would sit in a camp chair next to the fan heater and read under the artificial-looking blanket of overcast in the box of a cabin called the "entrance station." I was only interrupted by deer, foxes, and, once, wolves as well as the rare visitor who had to pay $7 to walk along the shore of a reservoir that was dammed by man so that roadways, railways, and other constrictions we tighten around the world would cease to be flooded. The visitors during this time tended to be professional-looking women who also tended to have the face of someone who looked like they were deciding between going for a walk on the shore or into the reservoir with stones in their pockets. The latter happened once. In the summer, cars filled with alcohol and reeking of marijuana would line up for miles, seemingly for the sole purpose of littering. The stone-pocketed woman had more dignity than all of 'em, myself included.

The only choice that remains is whether to succumb to madness or to start a record collection

>>20760527
I don’t even know how to answer since I don’t know what it’s like to not have one. We don’t fight but we got along better when we were younger. Sometimes I feel like I never got over the feeling that I’m just one half of a whole thing. Nobody sees you as an individual. Nobody really remarkable is a twin. Twins are only remarkable as a pair.

>>20760225
just sit back and watch everything become expensive bro

I just can’t shake this feeling tjay writing is hopeless now. I read Spengler and I’m convinced that this is a frustrating craft, largely devoid of artistic inspiration. I’m too old to shift into something like filmmaking, and what is even left? Man, I am confused.

I want to be maimed.

>>20753490
GUYS!!!
... i'm drunk.

I try to be a poet but im no poet
I try to be real but i’m not real
I’m just an ego, a side effect of better mens imaginations

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
There's a land that's fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines everyday
All the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

I feel uncapable of writing stories; of keeping focus or motivation to write. The lack of capability or experience doesn't help either. I had one or two ideas of stories (Fanfics yes, yet with the honest intention of doing them decently) yet they were abandoned.
Two projects I have currently; if not to work them now, then in the near future:
One is an editorial work of an unfinished story of Tolkien;
The other is a document of both genealogical and biographical nature. A record of my family tree.
I fear I may not be skilled enough to do either of these, or that I may not have enough time to do them properly. I'm sorry for this post, but as I've said in >>20761138 I'm druk.

>>20761186
I was born to be a poet
The realest story ever told
My towering ego built by the best men in history
Fuck China.

WTF?

Uni ended and im wasting my time with vidya again. I realize ive been doing this since age 6 or so.
Spending hours on pc, gameboy, gamecube etc. Even the same games over a span of 20 years.

her face is actually pretty nice.
not my type, but still good.
i prefer the masked version of her for some reason.

You don't have to write for anyone or anything but yourself. It is still of value, a secret kept in your holy of holies

Why doesn't /lit/ have a stupid questions general? Sometimes I feel like asking something that isn't worth its own thread.

I'm starting a Baldur's Gate 2 game and I just can't decide between a bard (probably blade) and a sorcerer.

>>20753490
I start Uni in a couple of weeks, I'm excited but it has been stressing me out. I feel so alone but it's on me for not making an effort to talk to people. I sometimes wonder if my life will ever amount to anything, which it probably won't, I'll live and die without anyone thinking twice about me. One of my closest friends cut me off out of nowhere back in April. I miss them to death I wish I knew why they did what they did. I just want to talk to them one more time, I hope they know they meant so much to me. I loved them. I'm such a fucking pussy.

>>20761813
just ask that fucker on why he cut you off. you dont really have anything to lose.

>>20761813
you probably said some insane extremist shit that you thought was normal from spending all your time on the internet. racist shit will obviously get you cut off, but many leftists don't realize praising marx and communism to a person whose family is from a formerly communist country is not going to go over well either.

>>20760936
I wish I had animals for my companions when I work. One time I contemplated inviting a squirrel in from a storm because he or she looked very distraught on the tree they were on because of the sudden wind and rain. Other than that, customers will sometimes bring their dogs in and that's always a highlight.

Other than that, I'm either alone at the store because corporate thinks it needs to be a one man operation unless you make X amount of money or I'm basically babysitting either literal children or manchildren. Some are fine, and others I'd even say I like, but on a whole it's still overly stressful because it's a job. You dealt with people who were dead inside, and I deal with everyone. Sometimes people come in knowing nothing, sometimes people come in because they think we're something else, and sometimes people come in who think they know things because they read a bit and watched youtube videos, or their friends shared things on Discord.

I've really learned that I dislike people in general. I miss being a shut-in NEET a lot. I still wallow in the bullshit and ennui of life, but then I also have to wallow in the shit pit that is human interaction that I have no real control over. If one of you retards makes me mad or anything, I can just close the thread and do something else. If someone at work annoys me I have to pretend they don't and treat them nicely. The latter isn't hard, but even with the mask I put on for the public the former is. Being medicated does help, though.

I want to see a fox at work.
