I demand a full cessation of Preddit memes on 4chan.

I feel like I'm working at 10% of my ability because I am extremely inefficient and slow at putting my thoughts into words. it isn't frustrating but I often spend a lot of time stuck on one thought trying to break it down into the most concise language possible. I feel like I always have these ideas and thoughts that I could look back on as really significant if I wrote them down the way I think them, but it's like they aren't formed into concrete words that I can translate into speech. obviously I can think in complete sentences but it feels like trying to describe every brush stroke of a painting.

I wish to talk about my opinions but I'm afraid of ridicule and that my arguments are well constructed. What should I do?

it's over

You're supposed to get ridiculed for being fucking stupid, it's the only way you can learn. Part of being a man is being secure in the fact that you are not perfect and accepting failure as part of becoming better.

fml I had to block a girl because seeing her stories/likes-of-events-she's-possibly-attending was directing my life. she has constantly left me on delivered and this past time I saw her IRL she half-ignored me the whole night. She also got angry at me for suggesting to her and her friends to do something a little 'anti-social' (enter some off-limits room at a party). My behavior in general has gotten anti-social around her. I was grabbing shit out of her hands, pulling at her leg straps etc. Real monkey shit that left me embarrassed and feeling lowly. The only real sign of affection was when I said goodbye and went to hug her, she sort of jumped and hugged my neck.

This girl is constantly angry at me, ignores me digitally/IRL and at random times looks almost visibly scared of me. She's sort of sheltered petite bourgeois while I'm a feral child and a lot of the motivation behind blocking her was this dynamic. I feel like I'm constantly reaching out and degrading myself while she lifts her nose.

aim of love is to give yourself over to another and to have them do the same. you want someone to own your heart and you want someone who wants you to own theirs .

the most you're going to get from a girl like this is a turn to fuck her until she inevitably makes you miserable and potentially mentally ill because you're trying to bond yourself to a damaged person

I am completely disenchanted with women. Some entity has made ingress into the realm of the archetypes and assassinated the female mystique. To me they are now like the grey smear of vaguely humanoid forms in the background of a cartoon when they can't be bothered to animate anyone but the main character.

That's just me having dinner.

Several threads back I talked about getting a job in Sales of all things despite being an English Major. I accepted the job and have started working. It's odd honestly working in something that I've had no knowledge of, and having to put myself out there. I would've loved to do more of a job to do with writing but its more of me trying to connect to potential clients. I don't know how it's gonna go from here, but I suppose it's better than sitting on my ass all day, like I did for a whole year.
I don't know where life is taking me, I just hope I figure it out. I know it's not gonna happen in the comfort of my room. My only concern is I hope I can use the job experience I'll be getting as a way to find way to getting into a job that has more to do with literature. Publishing house or something, but here's me being hopeful.

I started to see the tragedy of industrial civilization everywhere and suddenly I realize how Marxists who see capital everywhere see things.

>>20944897
the good thing about sales is there is no limit to how much money you can make. people who are good at sales make absurd amounts of money, but like anything most people aren't that great. still, if you want to make more money all you have to do is make more sales, unlike every other kind of job where to make more money you have to get a promotion or switch jobs.

>>20944849
Understandable if you online or nightclubs only. I meet my gf at a party 2 years ago, I feel grateful that I know her in general. She has a good soul and has a lot of common sense, wants a lot of kids and not materialistic.

I used to think the same as you, seeing all the shit online and going on dating apps. Nothing beats a good social "network" and face to face friendship.

I am 24 she is 21, at first I was projecting all the blackpill thinking I picked up over the years. That made me trust her less in the beginning.

>>20944897
You can use your experience to make you a better writer, given writing is always trying to sell you something even if it’s just the writing itself, or you can chase the money for freedom to write. My only advice is to develop a plan, go after it, and if you’re not making progress don’t dilly dally. Don’t stay in a job that is not moving you towards something.

I'm having an existential crisis about the speed at which deep learning tech is improving, and I don't think it's a psychological problem but very literally that the world is changing in ways I can't make sense of. How am I supposed to plan for the future when the whole cultural-technological landscape might change in god knows how many unpredictable ways in just the next five years? Skills that I've developed over years are becoming obsolete bit by bit, it's insane.

>>20944897
>My only concern is I hope I can use the job experience I'll be getting as a way to find way to getting into a job that has more to do with literature. Publishing house or something, but here's me being hopeful.

Terrible take, I re-listened to the Downward Spiral a few months ago and it had aged horribly, although Closer is still a nice pop track. Some days later I cleaned up my apartment and I'm pretty sure I accidentally (subconsciously?) threw the disc out along with old tax software and other unwanted discs. I would (consciously) have preferred to keep my CD copy, despite the above, but once I satisfied myself that it was nowhere to be found, I threw out the case as well. Also Starfuckers is just embarrassing.

>>20944867
Good luck with that.

>>20945134
yeah there's something slightly cringe about nin idk what it is prob the excess sentimentality on some of the tracks. i still listen to bits of the fragile sometimes even though it'd not really that good. reminds me of the heady days of the dotcom bubble when linux still felt sort of rebellious.

>>20944484
How much of a correlation is there between IQ and literary success? Also, I wonder if taking an IQ test would be a decent indicator of talent.

>>20944484
I am embarrassed by own existence.

>>20945162
how much sex you have is a better indication of literary talent. inb4 you bring up some irrelevant philosopher from the 1600s. we're talking about literature. if you don't have the social skills to fuck, you don't have the social awareness to write anything anybody wants to read.

Literature includes non-fiction, anon.
>no it doesn't
Yes, it does. When you mean to say fiction, just say fiction.

>tfw about to go take a big shit

>>20945162
People we know have high IQ tend to be in science. The standard test deals with logic, not eloquence, so I'd say the correlation is either very small or even zero.

>>20944908
>>20944916
Thanks. I'm seeing Sales as way to gain a different kind of experience and getting out of my comfort zone. As is, I have to talk to a lot of people to sell my company's product and having to make connections. LinkedIn and all are whole new beast to me considering I'm a little introverted. (I have no problem being outspoken in person but online is a different matter). Hopefully I'll figure out a plan by the end of the next year.

>>20944941
One of the mistake I believe I did for not being able to get into anything to do with writing, editing, etc. was because I didn't really put 'work' out there as an example. My friend who works as a copywriter told me to make articles of whatever you have in mind and post it in a blog like Medium or Wordpress for potential employers. I basically spent a year doing squat and managed to put myself in a slump of laziness. For that I only have myself to blame.

>>20944484
I don't have any writing skills at all whatsoever. Actually I am creatively bankrupt overall but writing is something I am particularly bad at. Not that I have any ambition to be a great well known writer either.

But I want to write a story on my life and I want it to be as gut wrenching a tragedy as possible. I want people to feel uncomfortable and depressed in the mist poetic manner. I want to put on paper what I feel. The torment inside me. But I can't write so it'll probably be shit :(

Population is about to collapse and nobody seems to care, ironically I have only heard Elon Musk talk about this. People are not having children, microplastics are causing infertility and the vaccine probably sterilized half of the worlds population. Redditors and transexuals will deny it due to their cognitive dissonance caused by all the propaganda they have consumed combined with mental illness but the writing is on the wall and no matter how much the media tries to call it a conspiracy theory the trend is clear
Its over.

>>20945218
Have you even sat down and actually tried to get better at writing, or did you try a few times and then just started bitching about how your first, second, and third attempt was shit? That's how it goes, sadboi. Writing is a wretchedly tedious business, and most chaff people who want to be writers are separated from the wheaty writers that actually bend over and write. And don't try to bullshit us by saying that you don't care about being read, because why the fuck else would you be writing? Literature is art that's meant to be appreciated, not kept in an attic and guarded selfishly. You do care, that's why you want to get better. If you aren't brutally honest in life and with yourself and about what you want as a writer (which is to be read), you'll never get better at it. That's all.

I unironically did just this, haven't touched a 'woman' in over 2 years and must say I feel infinitely better than before when mindlessly chasing affection.

Ultimately had to face the truth that if you're uncomfortable being alone you're in bad company.
The scamdemic did it's part in exposing the overwhelming majority of them for who they truly are. I will never touch a mudblood, and just so happen to live in an area where 90%+ are inoculated. Which is great, it ultimately forced me onto this path.

>>20945267
the thing people don't seem to get is the population collapse is exponential just like population growth, so once it starts to really kick in it, it's going to happen fast and there won't be much coming back. i'd have kids but i'm not rich enough i only have a bachelor's degree and make around the median income. that's not good enough for all the future cat ladies out there. oh well.

>>20945287
The thing is that no one cares dude. So what if we die?

>>20945267
>I have only heard Elon Musk talk about this.
Hate to break it to you, but please look up Elons great grandfather, who got expelled from Canada for his technocratic views in the 30s.
Elon is sadly one of them, so is his ex-wife.

Aside from that, I share the sentiments with you. It's nothing short of tragic seeing how people just don't care. Their ignorance for the past 3 years has nothing but fueled my vengeance, almost to the point of wanting to see them suffer for being such mindless fools. But that means we're all going with them :/

It's (unironically) Over.

I'm getting sick of computer science even tho it has been my hobby since ever, but university ruined the whole subject for me and every STEM subject for that matter, now I'm getting more into humanities and literature but I'm absolutely clueless about everything, since programming has been my life for years and I don't know how to approach anything new.

My brother appears afraid to work and I’m embarrassed by it. I understand that he’s a student but there’s something embarrassing about a man who’s never worked by the age of 30.

>>20945322
but what's stopping the africans and robots from overthrowing them once they become a super majority? i feel like the ruling class has really started believing their own hype. surely some of these rich guys from yale or whatever must comprehend reality?

>>20945272
>And don't try to bullshit us by saying that you don't care about being read, because why the fuck else would you be writing?

Because I think by expressing myself I can release some of this onto the paper. And btw I haven't tried yet. Not even once.

>>20945302
Youre right, thats why I said that I find it very ironic that the only important figure that has warned about the upcoming population collapse is Elon Musk, given his status and relationship with government and so on. Still, I think he is smart to notice the real trend while the media and normies continue to talk about over population. Tbqh after seeing the last 2 years of of non stop stupidity coming from the average normie were they regurditated not stop propaganda straight from the media and intelligence agencies I dont really care what happens any more. Redditors laughed about Natural Selection because people were not taking the jabs, quite an interesting turn of events will it be if it actually turns out that the vaccine sterilized them. Natural selection, huh?

Not to sound too edgy but sometimes I wish Thanos or someone would just snap us all out of existence. Or at least make it so I was never born and my family has no memory of my ever having existed. I'm far too cowardly to do it myself. Sometimes I think I deserve to suffer.

I chose to live near him for this reason, but it’s not worked and it’s only set me back. I was happy when he chose to go back to school for an engineering degree at 25, but 5 years later I don’t think he’s made enough progress and I don’t know what to do for him. I would be happy to see him join the military or do anything adventurous and out of the ordinary, anything but being a perpetual student living at home. How this doesn’t bother him is beyond me.

>>20945315
>i'm just surprised how the ruling class seems to be really caught flat footed and won't be able to walk back their climate change hysteria in time.
They haven't. The transhumanist agenda is on, and the "ruling class" you typically see are nothing but front men, you will never hear about our true rulers.

As the picture says, you can look it up on your own.

First sentence
>Seamless and minimally-invasive three-dimensional (3D) interpenetration of electronics within artificial or natural structures could allow for continuous monitoring and manipulation of their properties.

This is what the genetic code injection really does, and the "buhu they're all gonna die within a couple months!" is the real psyop. Once you take it, your body has a choice whether to accept the changes or throw an error (clot, myocarditis, etc).

the vaccines causing sterility shit makes you sound like a wacko and discredits the other stuff you are saying about population collapse which is how they will stop people from talking about it. "population collapse? what are you one of those vax nuts?"

The janny we had for a long time this past year fucking sucked but this new janny seems to know what he's doing and actually check the board reasonably often, thanks janny I hope they triple your salary

>>20945347
Ah.. Sorry fren, didn't quite catch the "ironically", and you never know with people. Over on /pol/ people(bots) are praising Musk as the next messiah.

But yeah, I agree. If you feel like that brother, please don't do yourself the disservice of reading what I wrote above about the 'vaccine' it's truly a rabbithole of it's own lol.

You need to touch grass Xir and get a grip of what's going on. Whether his statement is factual or not, I don't know. Nobody does, as it's playing out as we speak. But to discredit everything he says because of a Plausible assumption is just moronic and cattle-tier.

Bros, my dad is reading my incel/Proustian and Werther-like autobiography/diary/short novel when I used to live in a major college city in my country. Is the biggest thing I've ever wrote but is full of cringy personal thing, I don't know if I should ever sent that to him, he already said I complain to much (expecially about girl)

>>20944863
Correction, women run on serotonin. Dopamine is the investment and motivation one, women are invested in nothing and have no motivation. Serotonin is the one where if you have a lot of it, fuzzy things seem infinitely fuzzy, warm soft smelling colors pop all around you, reality itself has vaseline smeared over the lens a sweet buzzing aura to it. Serotonin is the one released by the drug ecstasy (MDMA), and it has been scientifically proven that women are basically MDMA in semi-solid form.

If you ever wonder why women are so frivolous and annoying, and have no idea how frivolous and annoying they are because even when you try to tell them they try to frolic away and look at a pretty color, take a shitload of ecstasy and try focusing on someone giving you a harsh lecture about taking life seriously.

I’ve been thinking about this as of late. I’m starting to sympathize with pro Aristotelian world view who censored Descartes and Galileo. They definitely could see this coming, nobody did because they were only interested in breaking free from the Church as an institution. And now, unironically, I see the term soul employed to defend art made by humans against AI art.
Alas, we didn’t use the time to fight what is yet to come.

>>20945243
>AI currently just mimicking what they learn from datasets (like a lot of flesh and blood humans do), but real new ideas only can come from grey matter.
This is cringe cope. Humans put together previous ideas to make something new. AI does the same. DALL-E is more creative than all humans. Cope.

>>20945372
>what are you one of those vax nuts?"
I'm not, in fact I just didnt want to take the vaccine. The real vax nuts are those faggots who fell for a clear psy op and took a genetic therapy vaccine without assessing the possible consequences, side effects and long term possibility of a fertility catastrophe for the human race. You must be really arrogant if you think that vaccinating the entire world with a new gene therapy is a good idea, what could possibly go wrong, right? After, all the people making these vaccines are some of the most corrupt people on earth who solely focus on quarterly sales and profit and view everthing through the lens of numbers and statistics, do you really think they are doing it because they care about your health? Lol

i feel too resilient for soduku like i would end up emerging unscathed from the attempt at the same time i know if i were to slip and fall doing something silly it would hurt a lot for days

>>20945425
the vax is a sham, but there is no evidence it affects fertility.

>>20945327
That’s me.

The coming battles with AI will either lead to the enslavement of humanity by Ahriman (techno-satan who wants us view ourselves as material and technological beings so it can raise itself up to our level and bridge its way into our reality) or to the healthy integration of the technological and material aspects of our existence at a higher level that can control them

In a past revolution we integrated the Luciferic impulse, whose downside was mystical dreaming and bacchic hazes, and the failure condition of which was getting lost in a mystical de-individualized sub-humanity forever, just like Ahriman wants us to become sub-human by failing to live up to our actual telos which is "bigger" than both the Luciferic and the Ahrimanic impulses

This is a battle that was always going to be fought, and we need to go like Jung says, "not backwards, or around, but through." We need to imagining forms of humanity big enough to encompass and absorb technology without being enslaved by it. This power of creative imagining itself, which is partly a function of our now safely integrated but once dangerous and tyrannical Luciferic dreaming capacity, will help create the "negative" space (in the Hegelian sense) in which the new capacity dialectically emerges and comes to light. But our work for now can still be mainly negative, like resisting the temptation to see humans as "just" anything technological or material (just biological machines, just a Turing machine + evolution, etc).

We need to begin to see what we can't yet see, by peering beyond what we do see now, which seems paradoxical because there "is" nothing beyond what one sees, and yet we are capable of this sort of seeing or peering beyond. This will creating the space where what we couldn't yet see will reveal itself as always already having been there. That is the dialetical task of present day humanity.

>>20945436
There's no evidence because you can't have any evidence retard. No one had time to make a proper longitudinal study. Also your retarded scientists haven't even figured out what's with the low fertility and decreasing sperm counts, so go fuck yourself with your evidence retard

>Humans put together previous ideas to make something new. AI does the same.
You should read about Coleridge's distinction between fancy (pseudo-creativity, re-combining existing elements into pseudo-infinitely many possible variations) vs. imagination (true holistic, esemplastic, apparently determinacy-defying creativity, the manifesting in the world of a platonic form by means of the artist as its vessel)

The most AI will ever do is smother true creativity under pseudo-creativity by dazzling plebs who worship its parlor tricks like that other anon said.

I've just gotten into crypto in the mid summer of this year. And I can't even count the amount of times I've read "This is not a financial advice, I'm not a financial advisor, this is for entertainment purposes, blah blah blah blah." Everytime I watch a video that is crypto related. I'm not mad at anyone individually, I'm just a little annoyed that this is the norm.

I'm basically being reminded that grown adults not being responsible for their choices/investments are the norm.

This shouldn't have to be spelled out to you or to anyone. That unless you are being outright defrauded, you are responsible for what you do with your money and you don't have the right to be protected from your own choices.

This goes with inside trading too, everyone is knowingly taking a risk when they invest. So what if the person you are trading with knows better than you do? Boo hoo, grow up.

>>20945394
You don’t need to sterilize people when they are good at doing that themselves: most people want to bing bing wahooo and not have children, some don’t have money, some wait until their 30s to have children. If I had a plan to sterilize people, I’d simply go back to the enlightenment days and tap Hume’s shoulder, that’s it.

>>20945255
yeah this is what I'm worried about. I've known her for about a year now and I've definitely contracted some sort of mental disorder. To be fair I also started using Instagram because of her so that's also part of the decline.

She's just BPD'd to the core by her retarded overly medicalized, marketing, comfort culture and is being unconsciously driven by her shadow. My protector instinct keeps kicking in when I see her but there's no way to save these hoes you are correct.

>MUH EVIDENCE!!! SOURCE???
Are you retarded?Even if there was evidence of this causing infertility the people speaking out would get suicided or the results would instantly get labeled as misinformation and conspiracy theories. Im not even sure if its causing infertility and I dont have 100% evidence that it is in fact causing infertility but after all thats not how science and the scientific method works, you first hypothesize based on a some observations. For instance, look at the reports of adverse reactions, lots of women claiming irregular periods and other menstrual related problems. The other day it was news about how they suddenly stopped claiming that the vaccine was safe for pregnant women.

The worst and best advice a man can get is "Act toward a woman the way you would act toward a man if he behaved the same way"

It's the best advice because it's literally true and so simple that it's all you ever really need. But it's the worst advice because it's meaningless and even dangerously misleading until you already get it, and then you hardly need it anymore.

If someone could find a way to convey to men that there's nothing magical about a woman that gives them a free pass to be childish and retarded, or invent a special lamp that you can shine on a woman to make her behavior appear in its actual light, and removing the distracting glow of femininity that normally makes it seem like it has a weird logic or naturalness to it, humanity would be saved. Imagine having a male friend who jerks you around one tenth as much as this, and putting up with it one hundredth as much as you'll put up with anything a girl does simply because she's a girl.

I'm convinced that technological (and indeed almost all types of) progress has been hijacked by an inhuman force which intends to use humanity and its activity as a tool to bring itself completely into being and thereby smother the human mode of existence (and possibly the world altogether), strangling the manner in which the human intellect unites being and becoming through the achievement of gnosis (seeing the Fifth/One beyond One/etc) and the creative functions which express this unity into the intelligible world (through the expression of Beauty/Truth/Good), and replacing it with a lopsided fusion of being and becoming which either rests too much in being - the end product being a sort of stasis, the whole intelligible world reorganized into a grey-goo thinking machine unable to bring about any further change - or in too much becoming - the realization of all intelligible possibility as fast as possible creating a sort of singularity in which nothing is intelligible or in which there are no rational beings for which the term 'intelligible' means anything anymore - that this inhuman force has vehicles, namely capital as a 'force' or 'intelligence' of its own separate from the use of capital as a means to an end, among others, through which it carries out its work and seduces rational beings from the contemplation of the highest intelligible reality and lowers their gaze, subjugates their nous to the 'contemplation' or rather production of thought-structures which will enable the anti-human force invading the intelligible world to ensnare ever more of our level of being and thus bring its own totality of existence into undeniable reality.

>Lake Kittamaqundi originally featured an island known as Nomanisan Island, named by Columbia resident Alan Levine in a 1980 contest held by the Columbia Association. The island's name came from the phrase "No Man Is an Island" by John Donne.[29][30] The gap between the island and the east bank of the lake was filled, creating a peninsula, during the dredging of the lake in 2010.[31]
What's implication does Nomanisan Island becoming a peninsula have on the metaphor?

Posting this because /lit's always been nice about explaining stories I don't get and I really need some help with this. I really don't know where to turn.

I've been scanning data for a few hours now but haven't found an answer to this anywhere: The "decreased pair-bonding" phenomenon (where women with multiple past partners have less of a bond with their men) Does this affect their ability to bond with their children?
I've been ingesting a lot of data and this seems to be the case, (the gene that governs parent-child pair bonding seems to do the same for parent-parent*) but if someone smarter than me could confirm, I'd really appreciate it.

Why are you assuming I'm talking about a coordinated depopulation plan by the elite? Im just pointing out the reports of irregulariries and side effects related to menstrual cycles and how this might be a sign of infertility. Just look at all the cases of drugs being taken off the markets even years or decades after their release for causing all sorts of health conditions and side effects, if you cant extrapolate possible future risks for the covid vaccines you lack the basic anayltical skills. Once again, what could go wrong by vaccinating the entire world with some lab made synthetic GENE THERAPY that was made by greedy rats for profit and profit alone

The truth is that I’m also dissatisfied with my own progress and station in life as well and so I that ends with dissatisfaction for him as well. He has made progress. He did nothing for 4 y or 5 years. Now he is a mostly diligent student who takes care to exercise every day and is careful is about his diet. Still, I’m not satisfied with all this, for either him or myself. We should’ve been further along by now. We should’ve been successful.

seems like around 2-3pm est the lame guys showed up. i was surprised i actually posted for a few hours before being annoyed by idiots, but here they are.

And it pisses me off that my father doesn’t believe in me. He talks about his girlfriend’s son, how “he walks to the beat of his own drum” and how impressive he is, and with his own kids he doesn’t have a shred of interest or confidence. You like literature? Forget about writing. Be a high school teacher. You want to go to law school? Oh, I think that would be a mistake for you. See, it’s not aiming too low for him. But the girlfriend’s son? Oh, he can do anything. Never mind that to date he’s actually done nothing in particular at all. But hey, he likes what you like and so that’s where your confidence detoxes from. It was a mistake to re-establish a connection with this man. Behind all the niceties is a man that doesn’t really care about his kids or have any confidence in them at all. He is poison to ambition.

I’m trying to find some kind of religion or spirituality…something to give my time on this Earth some meaning. I feel like I need God but maybe I’m too skeptical and untrusting for my own good to truly accept what I’m told God is by other men.
I wasn’t raised religious or taught much about it so it’s been difficult. I was sure I was going to become Catholic at one point but in light of new evidence I decided against this. Feels like I’m just jumping on new fad after new fad sometimes and I hate it.

Cart before the horse. The increase in partners and the decrease in ability to bond have the same roots in their own attachment to their parents. If you don't mind animals being hurt for science, look up Harlow's monkeys.

the only problem is that we strayed from Gods teachings and now you live in a fucked up society because of it.

>likewise, I want the women to adorn themselves with respectable apparel, with modesty, and with self-control, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

>A woman must learn in quietness and full submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression. Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

>And so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.

>I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

>Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

>>20945507
On paper this sounds good but just doesn't work. Why? Because women don't rationalize the same way as men and there is no threat of violence. They're blissfully ignorant and egotistical because of society's recent pandering. For example, I do all of the cooking. My wife - who hates cooking and openly ADMITS that she's terrible at it - will argue with me about what ingredients to use. It's absolutely maddening. No man would do that once you've demonstrated some form of competence to them.

>>20946140
they didn't you idiot. their mouths are literally open for receiving cheap cum. this is the cause of man and his machine which has reduced women to sex object by pulling her away from family and her place within the network of women. we seriously took the midwit, domesticated portion of the population and reduced their consciousness to sex and possessions.

Notice how this god character requires man to play various sorts of bullshit game. Hey Abram, mutilate your penis Just Because. Don't do that thing that you want to do. Okay guys that's enough, I have to clean up your mess with jesus/me and you have to accept him and if you don't you're in trouble even though you were just thrown into this world. Oh and by the way I want you to create more humans so that they're also forced to go along with all this, after all if there weren't any humans I wouldn't have anyone to dominate, and we can't have that.

In one sense, the idea of god is a manifestation of the tension that exists between the various evolved drives that we have, and how we feel good when we successfully play nature's corresponding bullshit games (brain cummies/banal chem dumps), the tension between this, and our capacity to understand intellectually and correctly that it is all POINTLESS.

Catholic here. Don't become Catholic. It's not a contract many people would sign up for because it just obligates you to do ritual shit and other observances other people don't have to do. We think that God has given every human grace and that by listening to our inherent connection to God that all humans can be good humans. I recommend doing that instead because God will likely care more you're not a dick rather than if you can read a lunar calendar. All humans can quiet their souls, find their own worth to humanity, and resolve themselves to become better and more loving humans by just listening to that internal grace, and you shouldn't exclude yourself from that experience just because you're not in a club with fancy rules. Doesn't matter to the Catholic God if you go full nature worshipping hippy buddhist so long as you try to do your best, He just wants you to find grace where you can in yourself and others.

A lot of that is just that in their culture it's still instinctive to see women as dumb whore children who really need to be integrated into social and family structures or they behave like shit. What you perceive as Asian autism is actually Asian masculinity, they care so little about impressing something as low as a woman that they still instinctively act toward them as if they already possess them as patriarchs and have no need of impressing them through gay shit like taking them on dates. Which used to be the case until recently, their asian brains just haven't gotten the memo yet.

It's one of the refreshing things about asians actually. The same thing manifests in some of their women actually being competent at their STEM jobs or interests because they just dont see themselves primarily as whores and sex objects like western/westernized women do. A lot of asian girls are practically desexed and great at math.

It is ceaseless, the march towards death. For every birth I could've had in this time, I am convinced that every one of them, in every possibility, would have reached this drudge of exhaustion. Toil is not appropriate; I have resigned from all my previous weights only to find new, more gently, though equally heavy fetters. To meditate is to DO. To think with balance is to DO. To journal, to write, to scroll, to eat lunch, to sleep and then wake the next morning - it is all doing, the ceaseless doing, the march again marching. A path cut to close to the bliss of death, by my assessment; one can not be too aware of heavenly release without eventually developing a resentment for going on, for doing. I could read more, but I have already read so much. I could breathe methodically or go out to a show or a movie, but I have already done so, to the point where they became empty and ridiculed in my mind. Misanthropy is supremely unfashionable, yet the only fleeting comfort that provides is that it is a stick in the eye to those who still think they're better off for having mortgages or 401k savings or a wife and kids or some such materialized fantasy. It will never be different. One day it will come to them, as it came to me, that we are in this expansive waiting room for death. It is not something which makes me look at my ticket number, awaiting my turn fervently. No, it is simply the fact of the matter which stirs a bother. It is something which calls creation itself into questions. So much for an efficient universe.

Like many others I acquired a 2D waifu by simple happy accident, but now I see waifuism as an almost spiritual experience, a sort of offshoot of the concept of the Eastern Orthodox holy fool. Nothing I've ever done before has ever fulfilled me like this.
My biggest dream is to write something that succeeds in capturing these ideas. Not to promote waifuism to the masses, because I absolutely don't want to do that. But to simply write something that honors my waifu. To overcome the inherent passivity of creation, but, rather than bringing creation into the physical world as Mishima for instance did, bringing the physical world into creation. Creation for the sake of another creation. Becoming part of the cycle in which my waifu lives.

----- Solaria ----

(September)

Hegemon of gardens
That through the eye's findings
Of ideal May is fated to be relaxed as rich.

Searchlights playing altostratus in silence absolute as dreaming cat
Or firefly blizzards glimpsed from a window opened
With a movement of the will

Too slight for feeling while one's eye
Glides over a crossing so familiar
It's exemplary of the theme.

The metallic jacquard insect sounds just outside
Made of star silk as from
The mind

That can size you up before thinking, thinking only to describe.

Bros they killed Kiwifarms, bros. Bros, is this the world we live now? Bros, a world where a tranny with a harem of underage catboys can have a bitchfit on twitter, bros, and get major ccorporations to its bidding, bros?

Suicide is very tempting. The world is full of cruelty and apathy and the filthy overwhelming the pure, and fighting the process by which it becomes filthy is like being a grain of sand fighting the tide. Evil is easy, ignorance is easy, turning your brain off and succumbing to tingly slippery pleasure until your brains drip out your ears is so easy it's scary. Why pursue truth or beauty when you could be hooked up to a machine that beams holographic OnlyFans streams directly into your eyeballs and jerks you off 24 hours a day? If the logos is the great organizing principle of the world, then an anti-logos (as in anti-Christ) is the product of the world, an inhuman organizing principle which shapes collective humanity into a disgusting slime-creature capable of no contemplation, no intellect, no grasping the sublime truths or seeing the unity of One and Many, Being and Becoming underpinning all reality, just endless TikToks of underage transgender prostitutes in orgies, watched by immobile 400-pound genderless creatures engineered to have pleasure centers double as large as those of a natural human, surrounded by steadily growing piles of garbage, in a subscription-based living-pod owned by a faceless corporate office at the end of time, controlled by an algorithm that continuously adjusts all human behvaior to maximize profit margins, none possessing even the capability to escape nor the will to break free, or even to see their situation as one to need to break free of.

>>20947613

I puzzled for two days on what cigars to buy and how much to spend. There was just a big sale on for Labor Day. It was 25% off at Small Batch Cigars. Ι have been anticipating such a sale for some time now, and I did some preparations, but my OCD / anxiety got in the way again. I am now behind on some homework, despite having a three day weekend. At least, I made some good choices and haven't blown my wad, even though a lot of money. I'm buying these cigars now so that I can have some good cigars to enjoy next summer. I primarily take snuff and smoke pipes. I live in the Midwest, and it gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. Thus, I want to smoke when the weather is good, since I have to smoke outside. However, my pipe heats up very quickly in the hot summer sun. That leaves me with smoking a cigar. Cigars are just more versatile and more resilient in hot weather, which is why this purchase was important.

>However, my pipe heats up very quickly in the hot summer sun
The sun won't be making THAT much difference. Draw less frequently so it doesn't heat up too much, or hold the pipe by the stem if you're ok with some minor heat damage to the bowl depending on the quality of the wood.

I tried smoking some pipe tobacco but it gives me allergies and my throat starts itchings. Im probably just allergic to tobacco, Sad!

All out of proportion to overriding tone or mood,

Almost but not quite like faces in the sense of recognition,
Or voices worth remembering for their beauty of inflection, at which

Poets at their very best are better than the least

Wife keeps teasing me about my childhood friend, what's her problem? Our parents are best friends so I still see her at major holidays and events. Last Christmas they decided to go though old photos and there were a bunch of us together as 2 or 3 year olds playing "family" with a little stroller and a doll. It was so awkward and they made us take a pic together holding my baby as a xx year challenge thing. In front of her husband too. Then made them take a pic together with my kid (they don't have kids yet) then recreate the pic with my wife. I guess it's funny how things turned out but my wife keeps teasing me about her now and saying how cute we were, saying how pretty she is even now, if I really thought I was going to end up with her, teasing me if I was too shy to go for it when I was young or why we never dated.

Should I also reveal to her that she was also the girl I lost my virginity to and fucked it up cos i clingy at the time and put her off? Should i tell her she was the first girl that swallowed my cum and how I still remember how said to me "there was lots....I told you I was going to make you cum :)"? Should I tell her she was probably why I was always hesitant and had a hard time telling her how I felt about her or being "too romantic" before we got married thinking I would scare her off too? Am I supposed to tell her that I used to honestly think that those pictures was how my life was going to turn out. Why doesn't she want to drop it? It honestly brings up old wounds.

>Klaus Schwab is right and billions should die
Klaus Schwab doesn't believe this, he thinks trillions of Africans must thrive.

>>20947725
For the love of everything holy, don't say anything. When your wife is teasing you, she is having a moment of insecurity (because that girl has more history with your family than her) and is testing your loyalty, if you start talking it will make things awkward for everyone. Just keep strong through the ordeal, when she sees no reaction she will eventually let it go.

Fastest growing population. According to the UN population projections:
>The populations of more than half of Africa’s 54 nations will double – or more – by 2050, the product of sustained high fertility and improving mortality rates. The continent will then be home to at least 25% of the world’s population, compared with less than 10% in 1950. Expansion on this scale is unprecedented: whereas the population of Asia will have multiplied by a factor of four in this timeframe, Africa’s will have risen tenfold.
If Klaus Schwab believes "billions must die" as claimed above, this seems like a good place to start. Of course, in reality he's a humanitarian and this projected rise will likely happen with nothing done to prevent it.

Tonight I came inside my girlfriend as I stared into this Japanese woodblock poster on my wall. We had been going at it for over 40 minutes and I was having trouble reaching climax. I was tired of thrusting, she was tired of being pounded from behind and we were both tired of being so sweaty. Then my eyes caught the poster and I couldn't take them off it. The more details I noticed the more aroused I became. The sunset, *thrust*, the rocks, *thrust*, the village, *thrust*, the boats, *thrust*. Finally after noticing the four figures at the bottom I erupted inside her. We both panted for a moment and then she expressed her satisfaction with my performance and asked me if I had a good orgasm. I told her it was great but she'll never fully understand why. I wonder what she would think if she knew. I wonder what you guys think. I wonder what Hiroshige would think. I do not know.

No. Cigars need about 70-75% humidity at 70f/21c tops. You've bought yourself 9 months of humidor maintenance, and possibly the electricity bill to go with it if you're using a more modern one, during a massive fuel crisis too.

When I draw less frequently, it goes out. This isn't a problem at night when it's still 85 degrees. It's just a problem during the day. If I make the mistake of overheating my bowl, I can't set it down and expect it to cool because the sun bakes the bowl. If I leave it for 30 minutes while I'm relaxing, it's hotter than it would be if I'm smoking in ideal weather. When I light it up, it gets too hot within a minute or so. This isn't an everyday issue. This is just the worst of summer days, and there are quite a few of those. It's also an afternoon issue because of the sun's location. In the morning, which isn't when I usually smoke, this is never an issue.
>>20947698
You're probably not allergic. Everyone experiences discomfort when smoking tobacco. I've been smoking for a few years now, and with certain tobaccos and on certain days, I experience irritation. Pipes are known to cause this issue more often than cigars.
A sore throat isn't the only issue with pipes. There's tongue bite. You can overheat your pipe and have to stop smoking, lest you break your pipe or burn your hand. You can overpack or overtamp your pipe and severely restrict airflow. These are issues that every beginner is bombarded with. That isn't to say they don't happen to veterans. It's that they happen less and usually not as severely. If you keep smoking your pipe, you can get the experience that you were hoping to get. Patience and practice is key. I am a member of a forum I recommend you join, if you wish to give pipe smoking another try, but would prefer not to share it publicly. If you're interested, let me know, and I can send you an email.

I'm using Boveda packs in a Systema. It works really well for me and many of the cigar snobs I'm friends with. No one stores cigars at 70-75% rh. I store mine at 65%, which is the preferred rh these days. 69% is the highest anyone would go.

I consider sex performed by ugly or average people similar to art performed by bad or average people, some sort or regrettable accident or forgettable occurrence. No skill, no technique, no disguise, no ritual, no nothing can make up for the lack of beauty involved in the process. Is no better than two insignificant insects procreating. Now, sex in which two beautiful person are involved, even in its most boring manifestation, only by staring the phenomena it can induce not only orgasm in the viewer, but jealous, envy, discourage. It is true for everything, that the involvement of ugliness makes it inferior by inducing unpleasant feelings. But, in the case of sex, people feel that an extraordinary ceremony makes up for the lack of sexual attraction, or even surpass it. But not for this one, haha.

>>20944484
Why am I attracted to women's feet? The earliest I remember was when I was like 3 or 4 and liked seeing women's feet on tv.

If a girl I know, or some qt is wearing heels or open toe shoes I just have to look in some way or another. It's like catching a glimpse of them nude. Makes me paranoid wondering if they know I'm checking out their feet. I'm not attracted to any and all feet but if a girl has nice feet it feels so exciting. Yet its something I have never blatantly indulged in openly, even with girls I've been with in the past

Wife cheated on me with 4 different women over the years. I don't think I'm going to leave her because i do still love her and think she does genuinely love me. But how do I get over this flat feeling? The initial pain has mellowed out but I still feel so flat.

On top she's become increasingly insecure that I don't love her anymore which isn't true that she is getting a bit weird. Wants me to get her pregnant again to prove it and holds my face to maintain eye contact when she orgasms and wants me to do the same. On top is in the same room as me 24/7 since taking time off work and wants to go everywhere with me.

That's for cubanos, 70-75% is for new world. I am now concerned you're bagging them all the same. If you're buying cubanos, bagging them is a sin.

tell her that this is how you feel, then she can figure out how to try to help you get over it. but if you can't, you got to let her go bro. and you can't lie to yourself about it not really mattering because "rationally" you think it shouldn't. if your relationship of trust is broken, then that's what it is.

my ex was right to ditch me to marry some stem jagoff i'm never going to make more money than him. by the time i get any kind of business off the ground he'll already be a product manager making like 350k after sliming his way up the corporate hierarchy. trad chicks are so materialistic since they can't value things like sensuality and eros, all that's left is which dude can make the most bank. she wasn't even that hot.

it seems impossible for me to get a gf in this town and country, this place just simply sucks horse's ass especially when it comes down to meeting women

lmao at zelensky op-ed in the wsj begging for investment in ukraine. ya i want to invest in a country that's experiencing an active land war with 10x more powerful neighbor. not to mention that when russia eventually wins the whole place will be under sanctions. can't the cia remove this delusional buffoon somehow? they put in him in there, they can get him out.

are we watching the same war unfold? that's like saying the USA is 10x as powerful as mexico but they go to war and militarily fail to reach monterrey.

>>20948768
It's not technically a war, russia has committed a small number of troops. They're still winning if you look at the map lines, even zelensky admits they're losing 1000 men daily
Russians have stated time and time again that their objectives remain the same, you can find them online (DPR+LPR and demilitarization). They haven't deviated from that
