I feel like a POS rn because my sibling is hospitalized and I'm not crying. My parents have both been crying but I can't. I couldn't cry when my grandfather passed away either, not even at his funeral. I love these people but I am not able to cry for them. I suppose this is a sign of some mental unwellness.

>>20905999
Nah, not really.
I didn't really cry when I went to the hospital asking for how my father was doing (spoiler: he was dead).
I cried later
A friend of mine told me "I saw you was hard. You took it right."

I'm going to self publish. I can do it. I already have some artistic skills, I can teach myself graphic design (as far as one can really "teach" something like that), and Photoshop. I can teach myself digital typesetting. I can teach myself copy-editing. I'll save up the money to pay for a nice short-run print edition, and I'll sell them online. I'll do all of it, all by myself.

i had a realization last night that I'm too attached to a version of myself that I used to be. I've been filled with despair at the though of losing or having lost the parts of myself that matter and being unable to reclaim them, while at the same time making constant attempts to understand and define who i am. while meanwhile my youth my creativity, my passion, and my ability to write slip away

I know that I need to let this idealized image of myself go, but i don't see what i've gained over the last few years, only what I've lost. this new me is less interesting, less promising, more hateful and selfish. I now struggle with things that used to be easier for me, and used to give my life meaning

is it right for me to accept what I am now if I'm only a more unhappy and unpleasant person as a result of it?

You are probably just different.

she is only saying it out loud because she's inviting you to. she likes you. women will not be as direct as she is being unless they like you A LOT. unless they are VERY INTERESTED. it's okay though, im also a headcase and despite being handsome enough to literally frighten women in public and get cat called i have never had sex or a relationship

How do you find antivaxx discord servers? Or how do I meet antivaxx people? Anyone have idea?

>>20906106
>Or how do I meet antivaxx people?
To do what?

>>20906140
To talk about how we are antivaxxers..duh!

>>20906094
29. Some of the changes that concerned me are arguably neutral, but there's a lot of explicitly negative ones and i can't think of any positives

>>20906143
That's kinda dull desu
t.3dosed, never wanted to do even the first one

>>20906216
Dude, by meeting fellow antivaxxers we can talk about how redpilled we are and how everyone else is sheep. Only we see the world as it really is. A vaxxer like you wouldn’t understand partially because the jab lowers intelligence

>>20906074
Accept who you are, and then move to change the things you find negative.

I've finally moved my stuff in my new city... shit this is really going to be my life for the next two years, isn't it?

I’m thinking about reorganizing my library and putting all my favorite books in one bookcase, even if it means breaking up authors, which triggers my OCD. Yay or nay?

Probably what you think you've lost is potentialities, and thus hope or confidence or both

I've had a lot of issues recently with Brain block and insomnia. Sometimes I just feel like there's a weight on my head and it affects my ability to focus, write, and do other shit. I honestly don't even know if it has anything to do with the insomnia as I've had worse and it never affected my ability to think, and it still happens with good nights of sleep and before my insomnia issues came back. it feels like brain constipation or something, like I want to get something out but it's just stuck there, like mind fatigue but not quite. I know i have to get the flow going again by trying to do things that help my brain as letting it just sit in that state does not help, buts it hard to get yourself to do anything when you just feel like you want to wallow in your own state, when it just feels all so futile.

I don't know where you're based but this was a godsend, also it was extremely easy to get when I was in Paris, just tell the doctor you're a tourist and you ran out

I have endless affection for every innocent and beautiful creature of this earth. Why should I spare a little girl the kind word or the caress? She among all is surely most worthy.

>>20906249
This unironically. Knowing someones opinion about the vaxx and covid is my first filter to know if someone is a complete retard or redpilled. If hes antivaxx its 50/50 that hes a complete retard who thinks that trump is some sort of Messiah or hes actually smart and understands the nature and reality of the current corrupt global system driven by greed and profit and controlled through highly engineered propaganda/psyops.
Of you took the vaxx without analizing the possible risks or assuming that it was safe and effective because some faggot on the tv said so you are a complete retard, simple as

Can stretch the 25 rule then lmao. When she is 18 you'll still be in your 20s so is all good.

10 years of wanting to accomplish the same things and never getting around to doing them is finally getting to me.
All my creative efforts are entirely oriented to creating porn.
Writing? I want to write smut
Drawing? I wanna draw porn
Coding? Porn games
It's literally all I can think of.
But all these ten years all I've done is masturbate because I am lazy and afraid to start.
I rather go roleplay and share porn and fucked up fantasies with retards for hours on a nearly daily basis because somehow, to me, that is less shameful than sitting down and writing an honest to god story about those things I fantasize about.
I lived with fear of failure all these years, of sudden death, of simply not having enough time. Self-fullfilled prophecy.

>>20907452
She also randomly said she was a virgin even though I didn't ask.

>>20907458
I wrote 1 smut fanfic and it was enough for me. I prefer non-smut stuff. But desu anon you seem to have an unhealthy relationship with porn

>>20907458
same what's next

>>20907464
It means she trusts you and wants you to take it. Or is maybe just playing games, 17 year olds like to play games too. Either way go for it bro.

>>20907458
>I rather go roleplay and share porn and fucked up fantasies with retards for hours on a nearly daily basis
If you're being distracted this bad by it you need to find a way to cut that stuff out for a while. Freud was right (well in this instance), repressed sexual thoughts make for the best creativity, think how much weird sex shit is in media and art. If you channel all those sexual fantasies into a writing project you could actually turn out with something good, and if you don't, oh well, at least you did something productive with your time.

>>20907496

When I was 21 I felt like I was a failure drawing because there were 14 year olds in DA who drew better than me. And that stopped me, even though I enjoyed it, even though all I wanted to draw was furry porn for fun.

Not great, not terrible.
We had a lot of time to learn what it feels like to waste our fucking lives. We are already paying the price, regreting it and living with it. I think it's time to dare to try. I promise I will kill myself if I keep feeling like this for 10 more years.

>>20907553
what if you've been trying and failing and seen the pattern too many times

>>20907560
What's it like for you?
For me, it's
>Get interested in something
>Pick it up
>Try to learn the fundamentals for like 3 days before getting frustrated
>Try to skip ahead
>Get frustrated when nothing works because I don't understand the fundamentals
>Masturbate, play video games, shitpost for months
>Get interested in something
>Pick it up
The only activity I have consistently done for 10 years is watch porn and come here. That's it. Everything else disappears in a month.
But I can't keep living like this, anon.

Okay I'm actually reading Myth of Sisyphus right now and I just don't get it. Can someone enlighten me.

I need something work towards, in general. An idea, project, something like this. I'm out of the post-completion depression now and I'm bubbling with excitement. I'm planning on getting lean and sharpening back up my French & Spanish. As soon as I know what's going on employment-wise I'll have the Big Enchilada of a goal to tie it all together.

Talk to them.

>>20907866
nah i fapped and don't care about sexo now

>>20907866
Why? I dont find them interesting.

Why do people like cocaine? It turns them into mindless retards that can't help but talk absolutely pointless shit for hours on end without taking any breaks.
Are they NPCs to do this? Inflicted by some temporary mind virus that just forces them to talk nonstop? The only time I've been in such a state was on a high dose of lsd and even then I was able to recognize subconsciously that 'outside' forces had the influence to make me talk nonsense continuously. Like it was physically impossible to stay quiet.

>>20907984
Cocaine is a meme, basically powdered Red Bull overhyped by popular culture - drug for NPC bugmen and w*men. If you want genuine industrial stimulation, try meth. It's five times stronger, lasts five times longer and costs less than a tenth.

I finally got a gf at 26 but I'm scared to fart in my sleep bros

>>20907990
Meth is for crackheads lmao. Coke is for normies who would otherwise get drunk.
But it was interesting to see the rise of popularity directly alongside narcos style shows on netflix.

i've been depressed and suicidal before, but lately i've been feeling actually sad for the first time, and i don't know why.

Books are my favourite thing in the world
I really miss my universities library
I used to spend about 2-3 hour a day in it for 5 years and now it's just gone

The myth of Sysyphus describes my life pretty well in the sense that I like to get high on cannabis, then do it over again after coming down. I am happy.

I keep reading crap in order to find that inspiration, that idea.

>>20908114
there is no idea. all ideas are false. the truth is right there if you stop thinking about what it might be.

It is bizarre and fascinating that "banshee moon" milk on youtube has done so many slutty videos and I can't find a single photo or video of her naked

>>20908156
it's to use your brain to perceive things purely without ego or preconceive notions or false verbal constructs corrupting what your brain evolved to do.

>>20908161
Is it really possible? Seems too advanced for my brain.

>>20908163
it's not just possible. It is your default animal state. This is why many religions have a concept of an uncorrupted primal man including taoism and christianity, and also why Jesus says the greatest in the kingdom of heaven is a child. In fact, you are already doing it constantly, only certain aspects of it are corrupted by false verbal reasoning. "My way is easy and my burden is light."

I can't take a woman seriously after I've seen her anus. Bitch, you've shown me your shamehole, do you expect any respect now?

>>20908177
Im too cynical and sarcastic to ever reach the childlike wonder state to attract any new ideas.

>>20908196
your cynicism is a construction of your ego that isn't present in your base state of existence. it's an illusion that can be made to dissipate at will.

I love skimming wikipedia to find interesting information to go down rabbit holes about from other less generic sources. I'm very aware I'm only getting a tiny glimpse at every individual thing, but it's satisfying all the same to be able to access so much information like never before and draw conclusions or opinions about anything. the age of information is going to be looked back upon as a fundamental change in how we understand taking in and learning information.

>>20908208

>>20908200
what is the base state of existence? being an eternal child?

Sorrow manifests in different ways. If you want to feel human, help out in any way you can manage.

>>20908191
That's a shame you never finished it, I was honestly enthused about your writing. Even this 4th wall-breaking stuff is enjoyable. It's almost like Kate is having some kind of manic episode and is talking to Marie in riddles about the nature of their reality. Bizarre shit, but quite readable.

you don't need a strong will because you don't have to control yourself, you just have to open your eyes and look around in silence.

>>20905967
I failed at killing myself two months back, nothing has improved and I still wish to die. My method was well thought out but a friend accidentally walked in before going out, as I'd planned, and talked me out of it. I have a loving family and many friends and they just feel like expectations to exist. Had a loving gf and that didn't help. Only fucking synthetic heroin helps. I just thought I'd scream a little.

Life improves when you stop doing dope. Start with that. Take my word for it

I need to accept that I'm a dad now. In appearance and demeanor that is, not in the sense of having parental status. Few things are more pathetic than a millennial emulating zoomers in an attempt to stay hip and relevant. Dads have a place in the Order of Things.

>>20908360
no if you're looking for that kind of thing i wouldn't recommend doing it. it's about just doing things and realising it's fine. i's a bit like when a cleaner walked in my dorm when i was in bed naked and after i realised it wasn't such a terrible experience

I finally came up with a simple idea and the requisite motivation to write a story. First time this has happened in a couple of years and I want to publish again. Only problem is the idea is just a simple and derivative sci-fi gimmick. It is original though and I'm trying not o let my bias against genre prevent me from actually finishing the thing.

>>20909286
you won't beat any women's records unless you are actually an athlete, and even then you have to have decent genetics to beat the women with the top female genetics. some guys struggle to break 20 minutes on 5k their whole life while some girls break 17 in high school, your v02 max is determined genetically and can only be increased by about 15% through training.

Well my dad's asian wife is offering me to marry her niece for a green card. She'd literally move her into my room. Problem is shes educated and employed while I am a neet. Also, this kind of arrangef marriage thing sounded based and redpilled when I was shitposting here but now that its actually a possibility I feel really weird and creeped out by it

Black women’s site known for dishing inside info and scandals on celebrities.

How does she feel about it? You better clear your browser history, never to return here, and reform your neet ways.
Crazy aunt thinks she’s going to put out or sleep on the floor? Too ridiculous even for a tv sitcom

No, she was gonna move into my fucking room. As in, within a week. I would have to get a new bed to fit us both.
Now, I'm not ugly or fat, I actually keep in shape. And I'm not technically a neet. I do under the table day labor work. But this chick is waway out of my league and I feel like I would be exploiting her desperate want for a green card. Its also fucking weird. My dads wife assured me that this is all consistent with asian culture though.

it talks about how hyperlinks and the internet make your knowledge shallow and messes up your attention.

how do I make friends?

Im watching a video of Taylor Marshall explain justification, grace, regeneration etc. It's all tedious and pedantic grammar divisions. Is that peak Catholic theology? Hyper focussed grammar?

I commented in a previous edition of this thread, I think last Sunday, and I was asked to provide an update. I was asked because I said I was going on my first date in years. I wrote all of this on Friday night.
Last week, on a whim, I booted up Hinge and made some slight changes. Within 5 minutes, I got a like notification (I never paid for anything on Hinge) from an 18 year old black girl. I am a 24 year old basement dweller finishing his BA. I am not particularly attracted to black women. I don't hate them, not the classy ones, and I take what I can get, since I get nothing. We chatted for a few days on Hinge, and then, I ask her out for a date. She agreed. I was hoping to be rejected to say I tried, but no, she wholeheartedly accepted.
Yesterday at 11:00 AM at a coffeeshop was the agreed upon time and place for the date. One could say I have been on three dates in my life, and they were all at that particular coffeeshop. Should that be considered pathetic? I'm not sure, I just realized it. I am inclined to think not, since it's a good place to meet up with college students, which is the vast majority of the population my age in this town. I had a doctor's appointment that ran a bit long, but I manage to arrive on-time. I message her on Hinge telling her I'm on my way and then that I am here. I order a cup of tea and wait. I waited for both my date and for my tea to cool. I looked at my phone and contemplated my situation. I mostly went on the date just for the sake of a good learning experience, getting out of the house, and getting out of my comfort zone. I wasn't really sad, just a little annoyed that my time was wasted. I also wondered if I was being stood up or if this was just a case of African time. After thirty minutes, I had concluded I had been stood up and prepared to leave. I had some leftover steak for breakfast, but I was kind of hungry, so I bought a salad. They make really good salads there. Even though there weren't very many orders, they took ages and ages to make it. It must have taken them 15 minutes to make my salad and two others. As I see the staff prepare my salad, I get a flurry of messages from my date saying how deeply she apologizes and about how bad she feels. She had a meeting and got carried away. It switched from me being stood up to a case of African time. If it weren't for this situation, I wouldn't have known how apologetic and polite she could be. She was really embarrassed and sorry for losing track of time. When I messaged her today to thank her for the conversation and to suggest that she make a point of going to the art museum, she apologized yet again and agreed to a second date. That's a first for me. I look forward to talking to her again.

The second, or third if you count the doctor's appointment, event of the day was the pre-opening of my university's art museum. My mom is an important member of the university. When we first arrived here, she was invited to the unveiling of the museum plans. I attended that event with her. And now, we were going to the unveiling of the museum itself. Attached to this post is a picture of me in front of a famous painting worth over $100 million. It has been on tour for the past few years, and for the people heavily involved with the museum, its placement and protection was constantly a point of concern during the event I attended 5 years earlier. Modern art isn't my style, but I was very impressed with the stature of my university's collection. And seeing this famous painting in-person, I must say that it is much better than what photographs suggest. My eyes were weirdly attracted to it. It wasn't like it was a Crivelli or a Monet, but it wasn't a car crash either.
I talked to some people who were saying hello to my mom. That evening, conversation felt especially dead and fake, but there was one conversational highlight. A man bearing a nametag with the last name Griffin looked just like Seth MacFarlane. I could place the resemblance immediately, but I couldn't recall Seth MacFarlane's name. I got it after a minute, and after Mr. Griffin lingered for a while, I told him about his resemblance and said I probably wouldn't have picked it up if it weren't for the nametag. I asked him if anyone else found the resemblance. He said no, but he was amused. This was a little outside of my comfort zone because people who get told they look like someone else frequently seem to be unhappy about the supposed resemblance, but I'm glad I mentioned it. I left with a brick in-hand. They were leftovers from construction they were handing out, and I laughed at the resemblance to George Soros-funded pallets.

the essay version of that book is assigned in a lot of english 101s. it starts about attention, but it actually covers some interesting shit about the way technology shapes our thinking. like there's this part where it shows this really fucked up early typewriter nietzsche started using as his health declined and you can see why all his later shit is just aphorisms. idk about the book, but the essay is sneaky, it starts off like self-help pablum, but ends up close to literary theory.

I stepped outside and now I want to meet people and make friends. How do I do that?

I played the lottery last night. 3 GBP. I bought a lotto and a lotto hotpick. The latter is where you pick 4 numbers and if they all line up you get 13000GBP return gauranteed.I picked my usualy numbers and went to bed. Whilst dreaming I visualised my ticket and saw multiples on 10 on the ticket. 10, 20, 30. etc. Thought nothing of it but when I checked the lottery numbers on the morning I saw picrelated. It kinda made me trip out for a moment. Definitely inspired some schizophrenic thoughts about how I 'foresaw' something. In the end I've wrote it down to coincidence. When dreaming and having low level thoughts It's likely I just saw obvious and clear numbers. Multiples of 10 stick out and are far easier to envision than any other number. But damn did it feel weird

>>20909820
maybe you're ugly, i guess the rule wouldn't apply then

I wouldn't know

Put yourself in a social setting. Go to your local park, see some amateurs playing a sport and ask if you can join. I made friends like that.

fair enough, but camus was pretty young(although nowhere near god-tier philosopher lvl like Nietzsche) probably why he's so popular with undergraduates. hell i read that shit when I was around 16yo ms. Still cant imagine the fuck happy, just learned to do my best to embrace life(the good & bad) to the best of my ability with... mitigated results... still breathing I guess.

Why Nietzsche and Camus are so popular amongst edgy teens and people in 20s?

Reading Kirkegaards discourse on Matthew 6:25-34 is when existientialism finally made sense to me. He said somethingalong the lines of "make a virtue of necessity." The crux is our mental disposition towards life rather than the conditions of life itself. With that in mind, we can imagine Sisyphus happy given that he had the desire for life, the desire to act. He can be content with his act as thats all life really is

Intelligent life has yet to be discovered. If it has been discovered, it has yet to be publicized, and thus, the general public does not know where the lifeform(s) is from.

>not believing in the holocaust is racism now
Hmmm

Sometimes I think I should start a business, but I don't have much interest and know in the end that's not for me.

I think a lot of feminists see men as the default sex and women as the deviant sex in society, which is why their strategy is no longer to be 'equal' to men, but to redefine both woman and man, as if male attainment can be separated from masculinity. Masculinity in men is somehow toxic, but masculinity in women is empowering or bold or whatever - men are 'doing' masculinity wrong, so it must be ceded to women, who can do it better.

This is faulty for many reasons, but I think the most salient is that it engages the psychology of teams and blinds women to a) men's DISadvantages in society and b) their own societal advantages. Men's advantages in society, as the group that built it, seem more obvious. Superior physicality, the willingness to accept greater risk, the ability to obsess, etc., these translate well to the achievements that demand these aspects of maleness like sport, artistry, craft, wealth attainment, etc. Things like the Pareto distribution favor men simply because men are driven to produce more, I think.

But the male disadvantage in society is that they receive no attention/grace/tolerance/respect from anyone, especially women (as the sex that selects) UNTIL they succeed in one or more of these areas. This is where women's more passive societal advantage comes into play; women don't have to do anything to recieve deference, it is just sort of given to them.

This is not a 1:1 analogy, but free shelter and access to food is an 'advantage' that one has access to once they break a law and are put in jail. It is a benefit that kicks in once some requirement is met. In the instance of women, the requirement is met when they are born. In society, women are treated like women (in that THEY recognize they cannot do all the things men can do and so they don't have access to the same successes) but they're also still treated like women (in that MEN recognize that they cannot do all the things men can do and so are given deference for their position).

This is not the final version of this thought - nor is it really 'mine', it's just something I've been thinking of while reading pic related.

>>20909922
Sainz is top 3, but below Leclerc. Verstappen is like a 4 in the face but his confidence and focus bumps him up to an 8 for me personally. It's pretty hot how he doesn't give a shit about the theatrics or politics of the sport, only the sport itself (or at least that's how he seems)

0 as well. Though I truly just don’t care about people. There just aren’t many people, especially guys, that vibe with me. I’ve only found one girl that I’ve actually liked enough to consider being with her forever. I just don’t like people, even if they like me. I ghost everyone

Most people I know are complete normies. Its quite difficult to connect with people who have a complete opposite view of how society works and how it doesnt.

I never developed social skills, I was an outcast and a shut-in and a weirdo since forever. I'm not an actual autist, but I have the social retardatoin of one.
And in addition I am a deformed manlet with man tits and weird proportions. I'm fucking hideous.
I'll never be anythig or happy, I'll always be a loser and it takes just going outside and seeing other people to see how inferior I am. I want to go full Ted Kaszisky, minus the bombs, and live in a shack deep in the middle of nowhere.

The faustian spirit of western man is to created various invention and use it to the fullest however while he himself strive to created, he is possible to die like many other before him. However what make him separate from other is his spirit, The power of infinite space. His power is unlimited he can create many invention and use it like Car, Plane, Gun, Ship, Industry, Capitalism, Money, Entertainment, Internet etc. but these invention are limited usage and can't fully satisfied him. Even the endless space of this universe couldn't satisfied him despite how vast and empty it is.

No, what faustian man need to is not to created but rather transcend himself toward an higher being in order to created more invention or as I best would describe it: The destiny if faustian man is to become God. A God who can bend reality, time, space and dimension into his own image, A God who can created concept, anbstraction, object, A God who can created everything, A infinite possibilities, Infinite creation and invention, Infinite stories of hero and villian, Infinite reality dimension.

This is the only way a western man with faustian soul can survived.

I always wonder, what % of girls are nymphomaniacs? Those girls that are actuslly addicted to cum and sucking balls or whatever. Porn has distorted reality in so many ways that its difficult to know wether a female is putting on a facade just to fit in on a degenerate coomer society...

>If real nymphomaniac women exist, they're doing it for attention and don't actually enjoy any of it
If you want to be a cynical faggot you can apply this exact logic to basically everything a woman does.

>>20911616
Generally porn addict girls have shit sex, just going through the motions emulating emotionless positions and dynamics they saw in porn. It's like the female version of porn induced ED in men, just harder to spot obviously because it is less physical, but basically they are trying to re-enact what they saw in porn and are sorta confused and let down that it isn't working for them.

Nymphos can very often be the opposite, not all that "freaky" but otherwise insatiable, wanting to go at it again and again. It's a sex drive thing first and foremost.

The effect of physical activity on mental well-being is unbelievable, mere 30 minutes of exercise get me from suicidal mood to "eh, okay". Sustained effort - keeping it up for 5 days a week - genuinely change my whole attitude and energy. I don't even care about looking good, it's all about that improvement in brain chemistry.

Do women even like guys giving them flowers anymore? If you're not in a serious relationship already with the girl, it feels like it has the opposite effect and they just think of you as a creep or too pushy, especially with women wanting nothing but shorter relationships or just straight up one night stands until their late 20s or early 30s. A sweet gesture fallen so hard of fashion...

I miss out on my boys’ dm meme conversations because I don’t have Instagram. I’m late to hearing stuff that goes on between them and jokes. But in the positive light, we have more to talk about when we meet in person. 100% do not regret it. Instagram and Twitter was making me sick, it’s all fake and people advertising themselves, not a good way to spend time. Maybe this place isn’t either but the anonymity breeds raw truth, or at least unforgiving memes

Why Camus is so popular?

Giving flowers to female is the ultimate sign that youre placing them on a pedestal and that you subconsciously think of yourself as lower than hers, so you try to compensate by doing all these actions straight from a romantic comedy like spending money on flowers, dinner, etc... Its often those guys that show to much interest who eventually get ignored, blocked or friendzoned.

I never really use the social part of the internet so i decided to take a look at twitter and now I completely understand why people say that anime is for trannies

>>20912311
>>20912345
Jesus Christ /lit/, how hard is it to know whether or not a girl likes flowers, she does? Get her some, preferably the ones she's actually fond of instead of the first thing you spotted. Not a flower girl? Don't, that would be like buying a screwdriver kit for a guy who's only hobby is gaming and social media. There's also a proper time for gifting in general depending on the relationship's depth and the partners involved, usually it isn't the first or second date.

>>20912311
Dont listen to this advice >>20912575 since its clear its coming from some female or some gay dude. Giving flowers is ok but as long as youre already in an established relationship and just in very specific and important occasions.

>>20911926
Gay men do. That's for certain. I think women enjoy sucking dick much less than gays, however.

People on porn dicords are like "uwu owo order me to do anything and i will obey daddy~" but you order them to read the entire Critique of Pure Reason and write a 10 page report on it and suddenly they're all uppity.

Do you have any idea how much stuff has happened? How many things you've done and forgotten about? Even just mundane things, like building up the courage to ask someone out. That happened!

for the sake of what is good and courteous and light, and what brings peace and peace of mind.

Understanding makes the mind lazy.

It's the same trajectory, only turned to marmalade.

Contrary to popular belief, sucking dick doesnt make you gay.
