I cant even write unhinged schizo diary. The fuck is wrong with me?

Girl complained about my big poster of the solar system in my room. Said it was like something a 8 yr old boy would have. Why do women hate planets and space?

This is a message to anon.

Thank you for consistently summoning the discipline, courage, and fortitude to live prudently, against the pull of instant gratification and easy entertainment, not to mention pointless, egotistical feelings of resentment and vengefulness directed at your fellow man, which were previously pulling you to your ruin. Because you got your priorities figured out and consistently put them into practice, considering the needs of the present and the future equally, life has become fulfilling. Far from dreading the passage of time as you used to, you look forward to what lies ahead and are enriched with age.

A large part of this was learning to rejoice in whatever water you had in your glass, instead of fretting about how there could be more or how others have more. Your glass has always been half full, and you often recalled the advantages you take for granted that many wish for.

Perfection is a lot of little things done well, and this is as true in the conduct of one’s life as it is in art. The practice of wisdom, which you defined in your own way, is full time work.

Instead of merely planning to make the right compromises and failing to follow through over and over again, you started to consistently practice them. It took a while to become satisfied with your life, but you knew the harder you worked on these fruitful pursuits the sooner the time would arrive. You defined these pursuits as those which allow you to generate value for yourself and others in equal measure, making it easier to love yourself, to love others, and be loved by others. You remembered that it’s a constant struggle not to slip back into degrading habits. You also remembered that your life a decade from now will be just as vital as your life in the present, that soon enough your current concerns will be a distant memory, and that the minor rejections, embarrassments and failures of the present will mean very little. Thanks for having the courage to make them. The alternative would have been hiding away from opportunity and hindering your own development.х

Probably my favourite Wagner scene:

youtube.com/watch?v=c7AeLEPEj4s

Wie duftet doch der Flieder
so mild, so stark und voll!
Mir löst es weich die Glieder,
will, dass ich was sagen soll.
Was gilt's, was ich dir sagen kann?
Bin gar ein arm einfältig' Mann!
Soll mir die Arbeit nicht schmecken,
gäbst, Freund, lieber mich frei,
tät' besser, das Leder zu strecken
und liess' alle Poeterei!
(Er nimmt heftig und geräuschvoll
die Schusterarbeit vor).
(Er Lässt wieder ab, lehnt sich
von Neuem zurück und sinnt nach)
Und doch, 's will halt nicht geh'n:
Ich fühl's und kann's nicht versteh'n: -
kann's nicht behalten, - doch auch nicht vergessen:
und fass' ich es ganz, kann ich's nicht messen!
Doch wie wollt' ich auch fassen,
was unermesslich mir schien?
Kein' Regel wollte da passen,
und war doch kein Fehler drin.
Es klang so alt und war doch so neu,
wie Vogelsang im süssen Mai!
Wer ihn hört,
und wahnbetört
sänge dem Vogel nach,
dem brächt' es Spott und Schmach:
Lenzes Gebot,
die süsse Not,
die legt' es ihm in die Brust:
nun sang er, wie er musst',
und wie er musst', so konnt' er's, -
das merkt' ich ganz besonders.
Dem Vogel, der heute sang,
dem war der Schnabel bald gewachsen;
macht' er den Meistern bang,
gar wohl gefiel er doch Hans Sachsen!

How does the elder tree smell
so mild, so strong and full!
It loosens my limbs gently,
wants me to say something.
What is it, that I can say to you?
I'm but a poor simple man!
If the work is not to my taste,
rather, friend, set me free,
do better, to stretch leather
and give up all poetry!
(He takes up the cobbler's work vigorously and noisily.)
(He leaves off, leans back once more and reflects)
And yet it just won't go:
I feel it, and cannot understand it: -
I cannot hold on to it, - nor yet forget it:
and if I grasp it wholly, I cannot measure it!
But then how should I grasp,
what seemed to me unmeasurable?
No rule seemed to fit it,
and yet there was no fault in it.
It sounded so old, and yet was so new,
like birdsong in sweet May!
Who heard him,
and madly carried away
sang after the birds song,
would earn derision and disgrace:
Spring's command,
sweet necessity,
placed it in his breast:
then sang he, as he had to,
and as he had to, so he could, -
I marked that quite particularly.
The bird, that sang today,
had soon grown its beak:
if he made the Masters uneasy,
he certainly pleased Hans Sachs well!

the pursuit of sex through pure action should be permissible fuck going through all the social rigamarole

my fetishes are all terrible and i could never enjoy them irl

Started a new office job and I just can't do the fake cutesy 'me need bean juice', 'look at my fur child!' banter thing at all. I don't want to complain because it is an easy job that pays well for the work. So there are worse things in the world... but I just don't fit in at all.

Are you a woman? You don't have to be all heckin smol doggo if you are a guy. Just say "That's so crazy" and "That's so cool" depending on which is most appropriate.

I'm literally feeling dead. Not dead inside, not depressed, not sad, not even apathetic. Just dead. My head is gone, I can't think, I left work early and nearly died on the way home, and then I fell in my bed in constant horror and pain, my bed isn't even made yet, and now I wrote this and ahhhhhhhhhh

he's better off taking drugs, stims and having some sort of soul solace and break on through to the other side.

Is it weird for a 33 year old man to enjoy YA high school lesbian novels? I just think highschool romance is really cute and wholesome.

nah philip larkin liked them as well.
what are some good recs

I think it's funny when people talk about doing shrooms and communing with god or whatever. When I do shrooms I end up jerking off in a hot tub for 5 hours

Anything I could do would be done too late and would be something I should have started doing 5 or more years ago. This is making me more suicidal than anything else.

Not really, I had an MRT this year and it's all fine. Sometimes this just happens. It's already better now after lying down in silence and dark. It's no migraine either, sleep is decent.

>I was in perfect health, I felt better than ever. Suddenly I was cold, so cold that I was sure there was no cure for it. What was happening to me? Yet this was not the first time I had been in the grip of such a sensation. But in the past I had endured it without trying to understand. This time I wanted to know, and now. … I abandoned one hypothesis after the next: it could not be sickness; not the shadow of a symptom to cling to. What was I to do? I was baffled, incapable of finding even the trace of an explanation, when an idea occurred to me—and this was a real relief—that what I was feeling was merely a version of the great, final cold—that it was simply death exercising, rehearsing….

Sometimes I sit up late at night and marvel at the fact that I am alive. I stare at my hands, feel my face, just in awe that this thing that is me exists. People, myself included, worry a lot about their purpose in this world. But sometimes, I am simply happy to be here.

>>20780687
You seem to have forgotten that it’s time to go, just as they seem to have forgotten you should have been gone. It is rather comical. Don’t waste time with darkness. They’re just being parents. Go on now.

This is quite nice anon, a good note for me to go to sleep on.

I am in the poem now: My Tired Father by Gellu Naum. I have just taken 5mg of methylphenidate, my final dose for the day. I do not feel guilty about taking an extra 10mg dose. Whether it was right, or not, I do not care. I wanted it, and I did it, and I do not regret it. The world moves too slowly for me and I will force it with my will to spin faster as I please. The doctor does not need to know. He will have his forms, he can tick his boxes, I will nod, like a corpse, for his questions. All I did was take the time to come and pull it forward as needed. The next step is to apply the true horizontal, to line up the trick dimension and have it squished, flattened, so that I can hang it on my wall and gain some distance from it. I shall carpet it with the cloth of my body so that I might finally know myself, flat on a board, wriggling and pinned, while I carry out my inspections from the distant road with every shade of glass available to my mind (go slowly, as the line breaks, and remember how hollow and brittle are the bones of a feather) so that the seeing might refract the image of God that I know I can reduce; I know that it is infinite and so my steps are closer than I have ever known. The white road, the sun on the mountain known to my shadow, and the life coffin to my rear. Infinity.

>a lot is lost in translation

>>20780954
I added some stuff to LoTiaT 1 and 3, and the aesthetics chapter on the philosophy book. It was an awful experience and I guess most people don't talk about it because anything they though they did good got destroyed by some 9gag fan adding the cringey meme of the week to make it funnier.

Good boy

Should I read The Book of Disquiet first or Stoner?

>>20780994
Something good instead

>>20780968
This. I contributed meaningfully30+ pages in total to LoTiaT 1 and and some redditor just started deleting entire sentences and replacing them with cum

It’s somewhat common for wannabe directors to start their own production companies. That’s true for both theater and film. Why don’t more authors start their own publishing companies?

>>20780968
>>20781024
While it sounds funny, I'm sure it's frustrating if you're actually trying to contribute something meaningful and it gets deleted or otherwise ruined by people who are using the document to shitpost. I've been thinking about starting another /lit/ collaborative project but instead of opening it up to all of /lit/, it would only be maybe 10 anons or so working together, myself included

I am a failure of human being, I wonder how it feels to just be normal

>>20781091
that makes two of us

>>20780994
You should read Stoner and just leave Disquiet on your table to thumb through randomly occasionally. Don't think you need to read Disquiet front to back.

Started reading this because some anon recommended this in other thread. Got to the part where Ruth just straight up starts torturing the kids. Felt like misery porn. Why is Ruth so ruthless(heh, pun) ? I hope there's an explanation because at this point she feels like some cartoonish villian. I'm halfway through the book so no spoilers.

>Why do they always semaphore?
What did System of a Down mean by this? The elites use semaphore to communicate their conspiracies?

Is England the most autistic country on earth? There's this Twitter page called new history books in the UK, it posts new history books being published in the UK as the name implies (ignore the woke stuff and it's actually a pretty neat place to find new books), and there are just so many books about autistic trivia in there. British motorcycles, Victorian bicycles, trains, furniture, army uniforms, in depth looks into British firearms and swords of every era, full fledged books about obscure WW2 skirmishes, and a neverending stream of books about buses of all things. Are Germany and France like that? They're the only two European countries comparable in terms of history and industrialization.

There was poll done a while ago that asked people of different countries what they thought it was that defined them. Everyone said the same shit: work, family, religion, etc. The Brits and the Japanese were the only ones that included "my hobbies" in their top 3.

1. Nature (green stuff and animals) is like weeds in the garden: as soon as you leave, everything is overgrown again. Nature cannot be killed.
2. Nature does not care whether there are many or few species. Nature blindly expands into cavities. Nature is fine with a planet of nothing but grass and cows.
3. Nature does not need protection. What needs protection is the enslavement of Nature. Biodiversity is important only because of anthropocentric goals.
4. The oil baron who destroys the climate, and thus destroys humanity, destroys the chains with which Nature is bound.
5. The environmentalist prolongs the enslavement of broad strata of beings.

I've done plenty. It feels nice, but it's pretty near the bottom of my drug "tier list." I prefer speed honestly, it gives me this really tight focus, and thoughts cascading out of eachother in this beautifully logical way. Coke just makes me happy and sociable.

She's literally exactly like me, it's freaky.

>>20782553
speed over coke? are you eastern european or something

Wish i had energy, vision and creativity

>>20782587
No I'm American. Honestly I just don't get what the big deal with coke is, I swear it's mostly a cultural thing. Almost any other drug is better

23 y/o here. Is life usually full of trying to keep with whatever? I got my degree which was full of trying to keep up with deadlines, school work and documents for benefits, student loans, etc. Now I'm going into a college program because I want a career change and again I'm on the tail end, just trying to submit all my documents, medical forms and first aid certificates in time. In a couple months time I'll be trying to catch up with the fitness requirements despite working out for a while, while trying to squeeze in part time work, classes, and all the rest. I don't see this ending any time soon. Nothing about how my parents, uncles, aunts or grandparents live is any indication that I'll be on top of things at least a decent amount of time.

It seems what's on peoples minds rarely ever has to do with literature.

Life beats your ass, man. That's all there is to it. You get qualified to work, you work, and then you die. Or you skip the qualification stage and you just work a worse job and then die. Getting out of it is just luck, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Grab whatever small moments of joy where you can.

If it's any consolation you would be just as unhappy, if not more so, making tiktoks for sponsorship deals

>>20782691
imo the biggest draw is the suggestion of money and power that it has. I really only do coke with my rich friends. I've stayed up all night doing huge lines of what I was assured was the finest coke, and ya know the high is just okay. It doesn't take you totally out of your mind, which is maybe why some people like it. But when I'm doing drugs I want to get totally twisted. Sometimes I'll go on a long hike and feel higher than I ever have off coke.

people on /lit/ have become so stupid it's not even engaging anymore. it's always people pushing some kind of radical but at the same time extremely boring and uninsightful grand narrative.

>>20782867
that's why it's a "work drug" you can still function on it, whereas lsd, assuming you don't microdose like a tech bro pussy, will take you way out of any kind of productivity.

>>20782900
Coffee is a work drug, cigarettes are a work drug. Booze and weed can be a work drugs if you don't do too much of them. I suppose part of my disappointment with coke has to do with the rhetoric I heard around it. Coke was always a "hard" drug from what I heard. But in my experience all it does is get you amped up, there's no shift in consciousness, the euphoria is weak. I will never microdose. Even macrodosing coke has been underwhelming for me.

I've only done amphetamines once, years ago, but it was one of my best drug experiences. I've done lots of coke and even crack since then but it was always a bit shit. Being really drunk and doing coke is better but still nowhere near as fucking good as speed imo. So hard to get though now, no one wants to buy it, everyone is mad for coke. I have been diagnosed with ADHD though since all of that, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Good thing I listen to metal

I was learning Ancient Greek but then I switched to German and now I really really want to learn Ancient Greek but I'm too deep into German and have to learn a useful language that I can actually make money off of first

I miss pitch accent and aspects besides simple and adjective endings that don't change just because there's a fucking article

I am depressed

Can someone explain to me fat/chubby girls on onlyfans please? Like are they delusional or do people actually pay money to see their ugly bodies? Women are insecure as fuck about their looks but have no qualms about sharing their fat bodies on the internet? Or is there some sort of selection bias going on here? Girls who go on onlyfans tend to be low IQ and lacking in self control and therefore are more likely to be fat and not that self-aware about it (stupid people tend to be lacking in self awareness, that's why you see so many ugly old dudes creeping on young women)? What's going on here? Has fat acceptance gone too far? Is the world really that infested with simps?

How can you teach a language you just learned as an adult? Unless you're some kind of prodigy that would take 5+ years of learning and deep immersion within the language.

>>20783483
You can lure it back out by placing a bowl of warm milk next to your ear

>>20783483

>>20783503
I am a prodigy

but you wouldn't teach the language you learned, you would teach your native language to people who know the language you learned

>>20779234
I realized that the only person you can trust is yourself, everyone else lets you down. It's also better because then you're not burdening other people with baggage. Seriously, I now ignore 100% of the advice I hear, including from things I read or watch. You have to figure it all out yourself.

People that call themselves atheists or materialists will cause such an intense backlash against real forms of reason and science that it will all be lost. The process is well on its way.

>How long does it take a so-called prodigy to learn a language like German from zero to fluency?
nobody knows, they say it takes anywhere between 480-4,400 hours to become fluent. my goal is to become as fluent as i can in one year. if i study 2 hours on week days and 4 hours on weekends, that is 936 hours. they say to reach fluency you need to know 10,000 words, which is only 27 words a day for a year, which sounds like a lot more than it is. you can easily learn 40 new words a day with spaced repetition software that allows you to effectively review words from previous days, and your brain learns to absorb new words more efficiently the more you absorb in the language through comprehensible input. According to research by Stephen Krashen, there is a 3 month silent period after which people can start producing the language even if they don't actively study language grammar or vocabulary and only receive input in the language like talking with native speakers or watching tv or something. but it only took my a few days to learn basically the entirety of German grammar anyway so all it is now is learning new vocabulary and internalizing the nuances of the language and teaching your brain to be able to process it faster. I mean, I can already read and understand anything with only a dictionary.

I admit my native language is english and technically I'm monolingual or else I wouldn't be learning German. I can read Latin intermediately although my vocabulary was only like 2,000 words and I haven't studied it in a long time

hell maybe you can't make any money off of knowing a language, but everywhere I look says you can. You can literally make money by playing Fortnite these days. I mean, if you can join the military and they will literally pay you to learn the language, let alone actually using it

but I don't know what the hell I am talking about

Fluency is a meme, there are people who can talk very impressively and act like they know a language but they can't read or have complex ideas in it, so they stay a permanent tourist, and there are people who can read fluently while needing to look up a word or two per page for the first few months, and a word every couple pages for an indeterminate time after that, but who can't speak very well because they never practice speaking

If you want to read you can be reading your target language inside a month if you just autistically work at it. Get a book like Sandberg's or Janach's Reading German / German for Reading and just do it, do it twice if you need to. If you don't like that book get another.

I'm like Luigi, I win by doing absolutely nothing.

Okay I can’t make memes, so if someone could make a chad/virgin meme with the “chad coward” and “virgin hero” I think that would be really funny
Virgin hero could be things like:
>dies saving someone else, no one remembers his name
>whiteknights
And chad coward can be like
>ran away faster than anyone else
>lived
>”you can have my wife just let me go”
>posts on Twitter about how scary it was, gets retweets

>>20783653
if you want to learn latin use this
https://ia903407.us.archive.org/30/items/lengua-latina-per-se-illustrata/Lengua%20Latina%20per%20se%20illustrata.pdf

Learning all the grammar at the outset is also a good idea though if you have no experience you won't really know where to start, but you can get a book like Latin: An Intensive Course by moreland and Fleischer and simply memorize the charts in the back, that way when you use a book like LLPSI which is where you actually learn the language you won't waste so much time trying to figure out what particular form something is in.

this is called the dowling method

>>20783653
Latin is a bit harder because you really do need to learn the morphology in a less half-assed way than with a modern language, since the texts you will be reading are generally written at a much higher level than news article German, so it's harder to bullshit your way through. But the same principle applies. Just do a chapter or two a day of any standard book and you can be done in 15-30 days. Then circle back and fill in any gaps you missed, or just read for a while and circle back later. Get through that initial crunch period, don't overthink it, that's the key. Dive in feet first and just do 10-20 chapters before you second guess yourself and allow yourself to procrastinate.

With Latin it pays to learn how powerful your mind can be at memorizing things. I learned all the Russian morphology and grammar I needed to start reading Russian (very slowly obviously since I had virtually no vocabulary) within a few days, because I had already learned Latin and I knew how easy it was to just brute force memorize the skeleton of morphology you need. Russian is actually easy to learn "structurally," unless you want to be good at writing it (then all the exceptions become a pain, especially with stuff like adjectives and participles).

I did the same with Italian, just downloaded a 100 year old textbook off archive.org and brute forced it in two days. Started reading an Italian book, slowly at first and with a dictionary of course, on the third day. At what point did this become "fluency" now that I only need to look up a word per page or so in Italian books or news articles? The question loses all meaning, what matters is, I was having fun reading Italian within 3 days.

Today was a good day.

Morphology first. Got it. I'm not too worried about speedrunning the process anyway, I'd rather the knowledge is more "thorough" and sticks for years after even if I don't practice daily (which I definitely won't after a while).

also why do you fucks always kill the mood when something good happens?

>>20783703
Morphology first is definitely possible and maybe pleasurable for some people but I don't think you need to be too rigid about it. Just don't skimp on it like some people do. Honestly you can memorize the whole fucking standard tables in Latin for all 4.5 verb conjugations and 5 noun declensions in a week if you just made an exercise of it. If I had a student who really liked doing this I'd be glad for him, I'd encourage it, BUT I also know this isn't right for most people and you should just follow along with the book and have fun.

Just don't be afraid to do some damn paradigms is I guess what I'm saying. I used to do them in class to pass the time.

It does stick and become reflex eventually. This is where getting real practice is important. Get through the textbook and start reading real texts. You'll get filtered and discouraged, but keep going. Eventually you'll get that feeling of "I remember so much reflexively now, I want to go back and REALLY absorb the textbook and fill those gaps I missed," and you'll go chew through the textbook in a few days, and then you'll come back at the texts with a vengeance and find it's slightly better. Around that point is when you'll feel like you really "know" Latin and you can direct your own studies from there.

The main thing is to just get 10-20 chapters into a book and don't think too hard about it. Just start. If the book sucks, do a different one. Cambridge, Wheelock, Shelmerdine, the new Reading Latin course, all fine. Some people like LLPSI, I don't.

The world is not my oyster.

>>20783644
I don't need to prove you wrong you did through the lack of knowledge, specificity, or even allusions to a career in the field of language displayed in your reply. you haven't explained even vaguely how any sort of language skill can be converted into money. You can't even name a single profession, that that it would suffice the conditions, but you failed to do that. You haven't displayed a knowledge of the various aptitudes, skills, or potential market places, what distinguishes one marketplace from another, who are the people asking for those skills, why they are valuable, how to connect practitioners of language to those market places: you've already proven to everyone you don't know. And you will continue to evade any specific answers because you do not know.

I wanna horse in the volunteer force that's riding forth at dawn
Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long
I'd not a good foot soldier make, I'd be sour and slow at march
And I'd be sick on a navy ship, and the sea would leave me parched
But I'll be first in line if they'll let me ride, by god, you'll see my starch
Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath underneath that vict'ry arch
Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur where the day is lost or won
I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance and the blackguards fire their guns
A sabre keen, and a saddle carbine and an army Remington
Where the hot lead screams with the cold, cold steel let me be a cav'lryman
Let 'em play their flutes and stirrup my boots and place them back to front
For I won't be back on the rider-less black (jack) and I'm finished in my hunt

I wanna be in the cavalry, but I won't ride home no more

The world is controlled by Evil Zionist Jews. And we no longer have freedom of speech anymore. Because freedom of speech does not have consequences. And no, screaming "FIRE!" or "BOMB!" does not constitute as freedom of speech because those actions in a public space could cause panic and physical harm to those around you. If I say "Evil Zionist Jews control America and most Western Nations." No one will be physically harmed. Brainwashed Goyim may have their feelings hurt. Or Jewish Kiked media may not like it. But it's the truth. And it's only my viewpoint. I'm not violating anyone elses right to free speech or harming anyone else. And yet, if I said this statement in public, my life would be ruined. The media would pick up on my "Anti-Semitic" statement. They would hunt me down relentlessly. In the near future in the US it may even BECOME A CRIMINAL OFFENSE! I would lose my job. I would lose any chance to be employed anywhere else most likely. And I would be censored off of every platform imaginable.
No one lives in a free society. You are just allowed to get away with shit because you aren't spreading the truth and aren't causing a ruckus. The moment you step out of line, you GET THE BOOT! Always remember this anons. And stay vigilant. No one is free anymore. We live on a Prison Planet controlled by Evil Zionist Jews. And also we are controlled by their Shabbos Goyim slaves. Good day.

how horrifying

my head aches, I feel like I'm going to explode and I feel dead at the same time

People will keep shoving olive branches in my face and I will keep finding a certain, satisfactory melancholy in slapping their hand away

I'm evil now.

They sneak through the windows when I'm not looking.
They have come from the ancient past to whisper secrets into my ears.
I told my mom they talk to me and she sent me to a doctor.
Now my senses are numb but I still hear them speak.
Wisdom from sages of old that I must heed.
The fruit flies tell me to clean my room.

That’s not philosophy, that’s religion or it’s bastardized hybrid “theology”.
Philosophy is a father branch of science and serves best to diminish the fabrications of theological mythologies. SAP.

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down

Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings though we're strangers 'til now
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down

Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love

Woo-woo

The first rainfall of August was long overdue, with the stench of past regrets and junkie feces starting to overtake the aroma of the local flora.
Not that I actually cared, being a smoker myself, but sometimes I like to think about the well-being of my fellow citizens.
At least I pretend to think about it.

Walking down Lightway Avenue, with a bottle of synth-bourbon in one pocket and a pack of cigarettes in the other, I was heading back to my office.
My trusty .45 felt heavy in its belt holster. I thought about getting a shoulder holster, but that would require getting more work to pay for it. Especially if I wanted a good one.
But that's the price you pay for being a bit old-school in a modern world. Women seem to like it, even if they're wearing the mask of social manners.

Back at the office, I cracked open the bourbon and nearly enjoyed the sickening sweetness of that first bite.
Synth-bourbon had come a long way since its introduction, it used to taste like rotten battery acid. Now the makers added a touch of honey, to smooth it out.
Especially after some poor soul died from a ruptured stomach. The stuff went right through him. The fact that he'd been mainlining amphetamines and fentanyl for a few weeks had escaped the collective mind. Hell of a cocktail.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning. The only traffic at that hour consisted of a few glidercabs and ladies-of-the-evening looking for tricks. Somebody needed a new pimp, this street had turned colder than Ganymede after the new Commissioner had vowed to clean up the streets. Only for a few months, he wasn't in it for moral reasons.
He wanted the perks of the job. Vice and narc cops had their way of doing things, and they didn't need a saint to mess it up.

Hopefully he would last longer than his predecessor. It was a busy week.
