There seems to be no other way to behave in the modern world than with dissimulation, contempt, cynicism, and sophistry. The feeling of abandonment and loneliness has never been more present than in the current state of things, and without any of the feelings described above it is a matter of time before the subject is devoured by the social environment. As if this were not enough, we still have this stupid technology that is nothing more than a big tentacle of the Will. All the time trying to subjugate/castrate us with the temptation of different and new pleasures every second.

Teeth are fucking disgusting in general. Even clean ones.

>>20797742
my fiancees two front teeth are VERY mildly discolored (can only notice it when face to face) and i will never get over it. i also have a bottom tooth thats slightly out of place in an otherwise perfectly straight set of teeth. i notice it every single day and often fiddle with it with my tongue. i also noticed my cousin is missing the tooth behind her canine and it subtly grosses me out. no im not autistic

>>20797756

I don't like how hard it is to opt out of society. It feels unfair.

I am an ideot, might been goinge to gaol.

Cheating is the shittiest thing ever. Not because of the blow to your self esteem or wanting someone all to yourself (I don’t experience either of these things.) but because if I have to forego all options, why aren’t they ? How hard is it to say you want an open relationship ? Why do I have to let potentially great things slip through my fingers if they’re not ? All cheaters must be flayed alive and taken out of the gene pool

I'm nothing without my job. Even though I make peanuts, I bust my ass constantly and the stress and pressure level is like working on Wall Street. I constantly feel like crying but I can't. All the therapists on my medical plan aren't seeing patients for months. I'm far too cowardly to kill myself but sometimes I wish someone could just painlessly Thanos snap everything out of existence

Just because someone is a cheater does not mean that person is not posessive of his or her partner. It isn't about competition. It is about having all the options

I'm going to live alone in a city I've never visited. For two years at minimum. I'm slowly realizing that everything I've built down here will be put into a state of stasis or regression while I'm away. My past and present relationships, everything eroded by the uncaring hand of time.

It's crazy to think that a year ago, I had a relationship of 5 years ongoing and so many friends. I had so much to lose compared to now, where I just pushed the closest thing akin to a reset button without a single thought.

Actually, I'm pretty sure past me would be fucking shocked to see what I've become, if he could. He'd certainly scream "Goddamnit, this isn't what I wanted!" amongst obscenities and think it's a nightmare. In that hypothetical event, I'd respond "It's life, naive younger me! Sorry!" and run away. Life really fucked me over the past year and the worst thing is that it's partly my fault, big time.

Now that I have a few moments to introspect, the contrast between the past me and the now-me is wider than I expected. I've seen pictures from 1~3 years ago on my phone. Pictures taken from back then all seem so vivid and, God, so numerous. I've been out with a huge number of people, I've been in so many homes, I've taken so many videos of departed friends wheezing and saying silly things. I have so many pictures of us laughing, dancing, being bashful, smug, sometimes even idiotic... I've got pictures of hugs, kisses and conversations I can barely remember, and so much happiness.

If I take a look at 2022's pictures... It's a bit depressing. They're only either of me or my two other friends. The ones that stayed. And now I'm leaving. I've already said goodbye to one of them. I think I've been wrong in thinking everything will be permanently erased after I'm gone. Most of the people I've hanged out with are already gone. Fading memories, etched in thousands of pictures. The process is ever ongoing. The departure is only the finishing touch and it's not even needed. All I've been, all I was up until this point is slowly coming to a wrap and disappearing.

I hope I'll change once I'm in there. I hope the rest of 2022 will be similar to 2017, I hope I'll have a lot of fun. And I'll remember to take lots of pictures. A letter to the future me will arrive in 2023. It was sent in 2018. I hope I'll succeed at whichever goal my idiot past self set by then. That happy little sucker.

And what she had created became a product in the matter, like an aborted fetus. And it assumed a plastic form molded out of shadow, and became an arrogant beast resembling a lion. It was androgynous, as I have already said, because it was from matter that it derived.

it was real bro, it was all real

I have studied Kabbalah up until walking across the door seal into the house of Kabbalah.
One of my fears is that within my studies I learned that there are intentionally misleading and misrepresented lessons in Mystical Judaism meant to prevent non-Jewish individuals and those who are Jewish but of non-pure heart (non-pure in the sense they aren't HaShem fearing and doing it for personal gains) from gaining the wisdom.
Being a non-Jew I know from enough readings that the Judaic race has some gripes with pretty much the entire planet and I feared that although I was grasping what I was reading, it was no way for me to verify the legitimacy of the material.
I even contact a family friend who is Jewish but when I explained to him what I was seeking he told me;
>Oh fuck [my real name], man look - although I'm Jewish, I don't know that shit. but wait, here...
and he gives me the contact information to a local Rabbi who is either his Brother in Law or a really really close family friend. He said;
>Contact this guy, tell him [my Jewish family friend name] sent you.
and to this day, I've yet to reach out to him. I fear that he wouldn't give me the full run down (not only am I not Jewish but I am also in many ways nowhere near acceptable based on my understanding of their customs) and he'd possibly steer me wrong. shame on me for not at least reaching out to the Rabbi. but one thing you're taught to do in relations to Kabbalah teachings is permeations of the Hebrew letters. that shit sounds intense and deep as fuck. I want to learn Kabbalah but again, I'm afraid I'm not going to be taught correctly and doing it on my own seems like a suicide mission.

>>20798225
Thats literally what happened to my brother. I went a little down the rabbit hole myself and started seeing synchronicity everywhere. Took a very big step back and now I am content with exoteric christianity

>>20798225
It was meant to be a litmus test by Fallen Archons and the Earthbound meant to be solved.
Like Crowley's: Io Pan! Io Pan Io Pan! THIRD EYE OPEN!!!

They trying to break into the Godhead and in their desperation they are using you curious ones in the hope one of you makes a breakthrough with the M.S.S. Sciences (Mind Self Soul) which are separate from the organic individual as the MSS, your soul, only interacts exclusively with your frontal lobe. In other words most of you have an MSS the size of a walnut or less. The Spirit itself is within your MSS but acts as a witness to your life to help determine judgment after the organic body goes bye bye.

I could probably make a breakthrough, so can any of you, but I choose not to study such things because in the long run it would help nefarious factions use it to manipulate the hapless including the ones that go bonkers.

Anyways, a strong MSS gained by a person will look like a halo-like aura and that would result in progress in the Heavens or Dominions.

The black cube of saturn that elite jews are obsessed with is satan's prison. Kabbalah is the usage of gematria to worship and understand this realm. Ordinary jews that still think they worship Hashem and dive into Kabbalah eventually discover the truth (Kubrick and Fischer). Gentiles and jews without experience lose their sanity because studying this forbidden knowledge opens you up to archons.
After years of studying this stuff I had a psychotic episode and ended up in a mental hospital. Numbers are literally woven into the fabric of reality, that's the meaning of spacetime. The numbers lined up and archons showed me a vision. I was transported back to Hyperborea and witnessed the glory of the black sun. They also tried to frighten me with smoke and mirror tricks but I emerged stronger. It's a spiritual war. principalities and powers against God and flesh.

I post a lot and I'm unironically not opposed to this.

Bunch of people in my peer group work both in corrections and social work. Nigger fatigue is real. People don't even talk about their black clients. There's no point. The ironic thing about black people is that the only predictable thing about them is their unpredictability -- and recidivism. They are not amenable to social work and therapy. You can sit with a black person repeatedly over the course of months and explain to them that any future misbehavior will land them back in jail, five more years, ten more years, whatever, and it does not matter. He WILL threaten to kill a judge. He WILL pursue that nigga who gave him a dirty look. He WILL assault the cleaning lady at the group home for "touching ma shit". He WILL smoke crack. It's such a stark 180 from something all civilized people understand -- JAIL IS SOMETHING I WANT TO AVOID -- that realizing this and integrating it to how you conduct yourself around blacks should forever change. Anyone in these fields worth their salt can instantly recognize that unique brand of nigger psychosis ("Im'a kill a nigga" state of mind) and give them a WIDE berth. Being that black people always look mad, but you never can quite tell HOW mad, act accordingly and probably leave the vicinity once one is spotted in an off mood.

Potatoes and grains are two of my favorite things, i am perfectly content with them making up the bulk of my diet. But it is summer time and the grill calls, most of the year meat is just a garnish for me but once summer hits I become almost completely a carnivore.

It takes a few weeks for the body to adapt to metabolizing different protein sources when a protein source that is a regular part of the diet is replaced. I go through that every fall when grilling season ends and my meat consumption falls off. Raw pecans seem to help.

Things happen
We can know that they happen
We can feel what it is that's happening
We can even describe what is happening
We have a thing called "logic" and "thought" to do so
But we can never know why they happen
We can never know the source of the happenings
And since the description of a thing isn't the same as the thing, can we even describe what is happening at all? and if we can't describe it, do we even know it at all?

>>20799106
It is a literal fact. Raising rabbits, poultry and other small animals is far less work than farming and provides fresh food year round without extra work, but farming is where the bulk of food production went, why? The entire temperate world ended up with grain as the primary staple even if meat was plentiful, why? It is the delusions of people in the city where meat was a bigger issue in the days before refrigeration, the transportation of fresh meat was most of its cost back then and meat was cheap for people in small cities and more rural areas because refrigeration and transport was less of an issue since they were closer to the source. You are being as moronic as a militant vegan.

On the whole, no. On 4chan, yes.We have become a magnet for everyone who wants to be a twitter star but too timid and meek to follow through with it. Anonymity has become a way to hide from the world instead of a way to remove ego from the equation.

>>20799301
I agree but I can see how the whole lack of nuance is annoying. The either based or cringe mindset hurts the board and discussion. If an anon makes an effortpost on a book he likes, and it’s just flipped off with “cringe” or “trash”, that can be disheartening. Personally I think many here just judge a book that they never read by it’s fans or the subculture it’s related too. Then the inevitable shitflinging back and forth starts

My mom likes photography, what camera should I get her? Something easy to use preferably

>>20799367
Speaking from experience, here's how to be a good photographer, in this order
>1. be good with people, be able to build instant rapports and make them trust you/comfortable. Communication is also important, but the thing is you never know who is coming into the studio that day, and while you can 'meatpuppet' professional models a fair bit (I've worked with both professionals and the general public), the best photographs will always come from that rapport
>2. understand lighting, learn to read the air, learn about diffusion, learn about pollution and magic hour, learn about how the grass bounces hues into the shadow underneath your chin on a sunny day, learn about how flowers can bounce hues in
>3. once you've mastered those two, now spend like 3k on a full-frame body and a portrait prime lens, that shit is sexy
Being a professional one is pure luck, I fell into doing it by accident

>>20799295
you never answered why. spare me your vegetarian cope. i lived with indian roommates, i've heard it before. grains became dominant because it's easier for states to tax it, store it, export it, etc. people didn't choose grain because it's healthier.

sometimes i wonder if our generation is going to have less crazy old people, just by virtue of what, being better socialized and having more comfort? my mom grew up in a house with 12 people with retarded immigrant parents (back in those days you just shit kids out and let them raise themselves). then she married young, got divorced 20 years later and was basically dropped off in the world knowing NOTHING.

This was not an issue back when it became a staple.

Also, not vegetarian, I live on a lake and eat fish almost daily, used to hunt but there is no longer any good land to hunt on within a reasonable distance which makes the butcher cheaper. I do still take the occasional illegal rabbit which has been fucking with my garden, if you eat my bean stalks I am going to eat you.

dude do you realize agriculture in most of asia is not supported by rainfall and requires extensive hydraulic engineering to be viable? this requires state power. when people transitioned to agriculture their health declined as their nutrition worsened and even domesticated animals while providing some nutrients lacking from a straight grain diet, caused the spread of illness like coronaviruses, flu viruses, and various pox. also, if you're so conservative: got favored abel not cain.

>>20799626
Yeah that’s Poe’s Law

What's striking to me is how easy it is to piss your life away in work. Even if your job is "interesting", chances are it's meaningless to you, nothing more than a way to pay the bills likely. Americans have this unique (outside of Japan/Korea) culture that is obessed with work, more specfically spending TIME at work. A lot of time. I've been working a lot lately and the days literally fly by, the weeks blend together and are the same, every day is essentially the same when you spend 8/10 hours doing a job. No wonder most people have no hobbies, or don't do anything constructive - they're burned out by work, day in and day out. If they're not working, they're recovering from work, and getting ready to work.

I think there's two ways around this:
1. the default way: get a high earning job and try to retire early. but, you'll need an education. those jobs are competitive, mostly only in tech these days. and you'll need to put 10+ years in minimum with hard work just to save enough to semi-retire, and there's no guarantee you'll even live that long. not everyone can have a 150k a year job, by definition.
2. reduce your needs and lower your expenses to the maximum amount that you're comfortable with. I think a lowstress, low-hours job, even if you have to take a pay cut, is very much worth it if it means time to dedicate to actual interests you have, or work towards something you care about. you'll never be rich, and you'll probably never truly "retire", but you'll be able to enjoy life on a daily/weekly basis. I think this is the best approach to make. there's really no reason a single man can't live on 30k a year in most places with some money left over. Hell, you could work a decent 20 an hour job part time and still make enough to support yourself this way.

maybe I'm just rambling but I'm open to other ideas if anons have them.

in my soul i am a cynic, not in an edgy way, just in a way where it makes it very hard for me to relate to most people, especially women. girls just want to have fun is not a meme.

>>20799804
Ignoring reality to justify your ideology is peak slave mentality. Used to be only the well off got grain, they were the only ones who could afford to have people clear land and work fields, everyone else just got the small amounts of grain they could forage because they could not afford too work enough land too produce a useful amount of grain when the hunter gather lifestyle was so much simpler and easier. The idea of meat being a status symbol was part of life in major cities where your were removed from the source which raised the prices of meat above the prices of grain and made it a luxury item since it could not be kept as easily as grain. This is the same thing as with seafood, dirt cheap and regular fare if you live on coast, but a status symbol if you do not. You made it and are high class because you eat like a Main fisherman but live in a big house in Cleveland.

>>20799862

you can actually just dry meat and eat it next year

>>20797178
A few years back in 2020 I was dating a black girl and during the whole BLM thing I was super supportive and was really into understanding black culture and not seeing black people as others and shit like that. We broke up a while ago, now I'm living in a decent working class Hispanic neighborhood but just a few blocks away is the black part of town and the difference is remarkable. Where I live, kids play outside, families have cookouts, hang out on their porches. But there it's like a wasteland, the corners are ruled by gangs, heroine addicts wander about and wail during the day and through the night, I'm always on edge and never feel safe. And the only difference between there, and here, is the racial makeup. It's gotten to the point now that I feel on edge whenever a young black guy walks by, and I avoid the black neighborhoods for my own safety. And I've had so many black neighbors in the past and they're all awful. And it can't possibly be genetics either, Africans are the wealthiest ethnic group in the US on average, and the most well-educated, and I've never had a problem with Africans (though I've had issues with their overprivileged children at times). Something about the black community in America is just completely fucked up, and instead of dealing with the problem every public figure chooses to ignore it or blame it on some boogeyman like the CIA or Capitalism or "racial inferiority" or police brutality or the lack of public education or crack (well crack did do a lot of harm but still!) Nobody is willing to say that the American black community is simply weak and sick, slavery fucked them up so much and they aren't willing to move on so they just dwell in the past and use it as an excuse to live terribly now. My hispanic neighbours don't even speak English for gods sake, many of them and their parents worked illegally in almost slavish conditions, and their community is flourishing! What is the excuse? I'm so tired of hearing excuses.

>>20799882
>blame it on some boogeyman like the CIA
anon, I...

>>20799882
Yeah there's no chance it's race. Look at Africa. That place rocks.

>>20799870
Sure, but that is sort of besides the point. In the temperate world drying meat was generally more work than it was worth for general consumption, it raised the price too high for most city folk and for those in more rural areas it was not needed and treated as more of a delicacy for special occasions because of the increased labor. When you move into the extreme latitudes/arid regions things change some and dried meats become more of a staple since farming is rather difficult, the climate is great for drying meat and meat is more seasonal.

This changed with the industrial revolution and dried meat became viewed as cheap and subpar, especially when anyone but an absolute peasant could have ice delivered right to their door to keep their meat fresh.

I'm going to die with so many regrets. Every time I try to change, it fails. I'm not meant to be happy.

what is an autistic face? I ask because when I used to work as a photographer I had this child who came in with a very false smile, his mother ended up wanting them reshot (understandably), she didn't explain until later that he was autistic. Poor kid was probably stressing out like crazy which is why he had that over-the-top expression. That's what I imagine when I hear 'autistic faces'.

Africa is fucked up because it hasn't been colonized in a while. Anywhere the Chinese have been developing, those places are pretty decent and besides, Africa is projected to grow economically faster than anywhere else in the entire world.

Whats up with women and constant traveling?

>>20800234
cock carousel

>>20800231
Africa is being setup to be the next China. China can no longer be the manufacturing center of the world, it has developed a massive consumer class and needs to produce for them. For the past decade things have been moving to other Asian countries since they are easy to work with the established infrastructure but they lack the population, India has picked up some of the slack as well but they are already too developed to really make a meaningful dent in the ever increasing hole that China is leaving. South America would be possible but has been establishing itself as a supplier of natural resources to China and the corruption keeps companies from investing there so they are out of the question, Africa is all that is left. They have their problems but a good deal of it is essentially in fighting which a stabilized economy should help and it is not like there are any other options unless the western consumer is willing too accept massive price increases across the board, which they are not.

This is also why clothing sizes started running small in recent years, many Chinese firms are only selling cloths to the rest of the world as a side hustle and the sizing now reflects the average proportions of the Chinese people, not the western. So many western retailers started outsourcing to other countries since Chinese firms would not longer meet their every wish.

>>20798741

It's a weird experience when you meet someone who is both dumb and rhetorically confident. Watch some nerd get BTFO at a party last night by this guy who simply couldn't into nuance or abstractions but was immensely confident and fast with words while the other guy was struggling to articulate all these qualifiers and nuances to contextualize his main point.

Watching it made me feel like an Ancient Greek in the agora. It had to be witnessing similar interactions that triggered Socrates to become so Autistic about the sophists.

We would have still entered the war, it just would have been a bit later. But if Japan had stuck to attacking China things could have ended up very different.

>>20800381
They started copying the west in the Meiji period though. I think it would still exist, after all they loved Disney, but it would exist within the context of whatever direction the nation would have developed otherwise. Japan seemed to be on the path to becoming something like the Enlightened Absolutism of Europe several centuries earlier, by the time of WW2. I don't want to drift off too far into alt-history territory, but I can see it having a place, just not as the strange hypnotic virgin pacification psyop program it currently is. Probably just dull adventure stories glorifying imperial values, and idealized domestic propaganda.

Japan only had a chance in China because China was internally divided, Japanese ambitions would have eventually gotten all of the various factions in China all on the same page and Japan would not stand a chance, the axis powers would not be able to help them after they decided to invade Russia. US would still have ended up in Europe which further would have decreased axis support to Japan. China and Japan would have been left to sort out their own issues and China would most likely have eventually won since it was very unlikely Japan was going to stop short of anything but complete dominance.

Because it is ultimately banal, everyone goes through such phases at sometime in their life but most never acknowledge those sorts of thoughts, just bury them away in shame which leaves those who do acknowledge them or are unable to bury them away feeling like freaks.

No, never had any of that. Mainly ridiculous pain, but no imagery of any kind. The only hallucination (while not on drugs) that I ever had was some moth landing on my knee and disappearing. But it has been some time since I don't have any of that, and I use "weak pain meds" (aspirines) somewhat regularly, so it makes sense that I don't feel as much pain as I used to.
I would definitely say a bunch of shit like that, but that would be mainly so people leave me alone and not bother me. Maybe you should look for help, like professional help, I did therapy for some time.

Oh my fucking god London is so fucking hot. So damned hot. I took a gun with me to the park today to shoot the beachballs, hoping that the bursts of air would serve to cast a breeze and chill me slightly but there were none, it was a frisbee day. The sun made my bald patch sweat. I had the option of leaving this overly hot city of garbage and moving to somewhere cooler like Newcastle or the North pole but alas, here I am. An Arab fellow was there selling ice cream, which was a welcome cold option. I chose and paid for one but as he handed it to me, suddenly I just had a cone, and he had the ice cream. He put it in a tong thing to hand it to me again, but it went upside down, and again I had no ice cream. I was so hot, I couldn't bear it. The filthy ice cream man continued to weave this way and that with the ice cream I had paid for, and it was too much to bear. It was absurd, so I fucking shot him in the face. Raspberry sauce on all the ice cream. Children crying. I lowered the gun. he had dropped my ice cream so I reached over the counter and served myself a fresh scoop which I ate while I waited for the constabulary to attend, listening to cumtown. It's over.

telegraphing irony is interesting, I don't mean using a sarcastic voice and saying something which is false. And example might be someone is complaining at length about how a third party is in the habit of complaining at length, And someone noticing the tension in everyone listening to this person harangue, then makes a pithy remark like
>need to take a breath?
and everyone laughs, understanding the inherent irony of going on a diatribe about someone who always goes on diatribes - and that this one has gone on for too long. They haven't used a sarcastic tone, but they've telegraphed irony to everyone around them.
Of course, if al the listeners are both sympathetic and no one is tense, then the remark wouldn't land. No one would get it.

It's a device, a tool, a hammer. Use the tool correctly, don't use hammers on skulls, it's a tool made for screws not skulls
Saying it's for screws is simulated ignorance. The fact I used irony poorly in this example of irony is ironic. Each point of irony is a challenge for you to think, the narrative is not presenting correct thought patterns. Accidental irony is still irony but rooted in ignorance so deliberate irony helps train identifying ignorance, that's why ignorant people hate it so much.

good post. if i knew you irl i think we'd be friends

am i employing irony here??

nah im being unusually sincere for the sake of irony. honestly this anon was right >>20800983

Trolls were actually worth a damn back then. This is the cringiest line I’ll ever type, but there were epic threads back then. Some legit crazy shit too. I haven’t ventured outside of this board in a while but I get the feeling that there are no legendary threads anymore

>>20801315
No one wants to do anything epic anymore, it's all "not your personal army". I think it's also a matter of scale, 200 /b/ anons in 2007 could do a lot more damage than 200 /b/ anons in 2022. The internet is just bigger and more regulated. /pol/ is really the only board that gets shit done but their motivation is in part political, instead of /b/ who just did it for the lulz. It actually seems like individuals are making more of a difference on 4chan than the collective. Everyone here knows F. Gardner. But "start with the greeks" is being forgotten. 4chan is no longer a nihilistic anonymous legion. Just a loosely tied group of individuals, stuck here forever.
There's irony to be found in pic related.

HWNDU and capture the flag was pretty amazing, that YouTube Internet historian channel has a surprisingly good normies friendly video on it

>>20801354

>>20801346
Tfw 4chan is just a run of the mill social media site now

>>20801315
The principle of play dictates that the more jimmies get rustled about it the more racist the game becomes and because it's taken so seriously it will become more and more brutal, that game is now incorporated into war propaganda for real wars. I was a kid making racist memes that triggered FBI press releases long before /pol/ despite never being "racist" towards anyone in my life. It was related to ideas of free flow of information, hacking and social engineering. The internet really was a videogame and the establishment was way behind the game for years, until suddenly they weren't and everything went to shit.

>>20801386
i was thinking this the other day it's all hot takes like twitter but with boomer tier conservative politics more fit for facebook. there was actually a guy in that b&n thread scandalized by those self-help books with "f*ck" on the cover. this is not the 4chan i used to enjoy.

Went to buy sparkling water at the store, hungover. Young woman behind me at the counter with frozen pizza, tortilla chips, grated cheddar, guacamole, dressed in loose-fitting sweats, strained expression on her face - her jaw was clenching up in pain periodically - absolutely reeked of menstruation. I can smell women's periods. It is an earthy, permeating smell - not decidedly unpleasant or repulsive, just very, very distinctive and earthy - I can't be sure I can smell every woman's period, but for a certain subset of women, there is zero doubt, I absolutely can. Many of my friends don't believe me.
Any of you experience something similar?

Both of these reference Thomas Aquinas. His mom locked him up and sent him whores to try to stop him from being so pious.

Mods deleted the Imagined Communities thread.
What gives? I actually read the book, shared my notes and there was discussion, they’re literally ruining /lit/ on purpose

it's not even rightwing. i don't get it. maybe they needed to make space for the next tate advertisement.

>>20801492
That last poster should have gotten a ban
But what else did you need to know? Nationstates are spooks. Bindings to benefit the power hungry and most greedy.

>>20801492
Had to make space for Evola thread number 6 in the catalogue anon, 5 wasn't enough.

Look at Forest Anon. The FBI has hundreds of pages of investigation about him all because he hangs out with mice in the woods.

It’s not as simple as that, did you not read my posts?
Anderson makes a clear distinction between “official” nationalism which is indeed used by elites to justify their rule in the post-Enlightenment age and democratic populist nationalism that arises from the masses.
And we’re not even getting into how nationalism is inseparable from anti colonialism and anti imperialism, having played a key role in independence movements in the Third World.
The thread had a lot of potential

Listen here now it is good writing to tell us how many stars in Chicago, and surrounding area. In the surrounding area of Chicago the sky can seem very large, and unlike Chicago they are detectable but also some are also detectable in Chicago.

It's 41 degrees outside and I want to die.

I've never been in that kind of heat. Where I am, 30 is considered hot in the summer, and I've never experienced anything above like 35, if that. This has been a somewhat cool summer over all, and I fucking wish some of that heat came over here for a change. I think I'd like a good heatwave.

>>20801635
I'm in eastern Canada.
I meant 41 with humidex, 35 without.

Heatwaves are no fun. Everyone stays inside till it gets cooler in the evening. Nothing like having the back of your shirt wet and seeing it on everyone else

>>20801199
/b/ had "fun n****r fact" threads in like 2007, you are misremembering

recently i've been loving this song called 'i'm dr. house' by the guys who did deathconsciousness. great tune. wish i could make music that sounds cool like that

>>20801679
Those were based on humor though

>>20801691
Recently I have like this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUNp9bwr85Y

>>20801692
Around 2012 most people stopped seeing the difference or everything was flooded with new people that didn't see the difference. There were major efforts by the establishment to paint both as the same thing, any humor or acknowledgement of anything relating to anything like race are "dogwhistles".

>>20801718
yknow i was strangely disappointed by that meme when i first saw the unclipped version. seemed a lot sexier without the actual porn part

>>20801729
That's where I heard of the song, but I just like the song itself.

>>20801731
listening now and i do agree. never noticed the song's merit til now

A very attractive, slim blonde girl came to church today, and I noticed a lot of dudes stealing looks at her. Honestly, I feel bad for attractive people, it'd annoy me.

Here's a good song, enjoy bros :)

I know a few men who get a lot of attention from women and they don't seem to mind it at all. It's probably more of a nuisance for women though

>>20801691
It is a good song, mad how HANL made it

>>20801740
Imagine going to church to tempt men like a succubus.

>>20801766
why don't you like HANL? or were you using "mad" in the crazy/sick/gnarly sense as opposed to the angry one

>>20801748
good taste

never heard of that before, and when I googled it, turns out it's a specifically Canadian thing. seems like a pretty confusing way to talk about temperature.

>>20801675
I think it can be very pleasant in a unique way, if you've got plenty of water and refreshments. I enjoy heat especially because where I'm at, most of the year is cold and wet, and it's an amazing contrast. I really enjoy it while it lasts. it's early August and I can already feel a bit of autumn in the air. I do like the contrast but I'm getting really sick of this climate, I keep thinking of being somewhere warmer

God is based and prefers beautiful women showing skin over hags wearing potato sacks

What's a good browser? Just noticed I was using a Firefox version from 2018.

>>20801888
I dare not argue with those numbers

>>20801899
Upgrade Firefox to the current version.

>>20801899
if you want Firefox that's more like the old Firefox and isnt trying to be another flavor of Chrome, try Pale Moon

>both real and imagined

nocebo effect

it's possible for an imagined mental illness can become real

some people even do it on purpose. look up 'how to make a tulpa' for an example. it's a how to guide to fucking your own head.

Math, much like programming, is much easier to learn if you actually use it for something.

For example, try downloading POV ray and making a picture using math. It doesn't matter if the picture is shitty or not, it can be a fun pass time and you learn something while doing it.

also called supercooling. also applies to flash boiling and superheating. in the absence of a nucleation site a liquid is unlikely to change it's thermodynamic phase. as temperatures continue to go below (or above) the liquids normal phase change temperature, the chances of it spontaneously forming it's own nucleation site increase. once that happens the phase change is self propagating.
