Are there specific thought loops you’re struggling with (like centered around one problem or one person), or is it more of a general issue? For myself, I find that when I’m struggling to get one specific thing off of my mind, I just end up journaling about it to the exclusion of everything else, and to an extent that reinforces my obsessive thoughts. But if it’s more of a general feeling of being “stuck,” then journaling often helps to clear my head.

The great sickness of Western thought, is that we confuse self-destruction as freedom. Yes, you are free to chop your dick off, but that doesn't mean it's not self-destructive. Worse, Western society praises these things: Look at how free he is, he has chopped his dick off! Thus the madness continues until the logical conclusion of this mentality: Complete and utter self-destruction of a perfectly functional society as the mark of freedom.

This is the freedom The West is selling.

I am sick...defeated by sin and those who are controlled by it. I am struck by the lust, the greed, the hatred; ceaseless anger. I walk among men held by vice.
Drugs have destroyed the lives of people I love, of unending benefactors whom I'd surely die for, and every day it gets harder to live.
It's draining to stand upright in the company of thieves, to uphold the purpose of God, for attempting to keep my virtues has caused great chaos. I am resented, for good reason. I hate drugs, and those who encourage their use in others. I must hold my tongue and refuse to let my own anger control me, lest I end up beating a man to death.

I've already been dealing with feelings of depression, failure and hopelessness long before I started getting symptoms. Cancer however is multiple different bags of worms on top of that. Chemo seems like an absolutely miserable experience, and even if it works I'll spend the rest of my life worrying if it's going to come back. Not to mention I live in burgerstan where cancer treatments would erase 10 years of savings in an instant, even with health insurance. I'd rather die a quick death than have to live through that, but there's very real reasons I haven't

How do I meet a gf if I dont have a big social circle? I also refuse to participate in dating apps and the idea of cold approaching women makes me uncomfortable, not because im a pussy who is scared of going to talk to women (unironically this isnt very difficult to me) bt because I have social anxiety and the idea of going out and meeting random women to see if they miraculously are a good match for me seems not only a waste of time but a huge waste of energy.
So my question is, where or how can I meet girls that most likely have interests or ways of thinking that match with my personality.

What the white male was to Ahab, has been hinted; what, at times, he was to me, as yet remains unsaid.

Aside from those more obvious considerations touching Moby Dick, which could not but occasionally awaken in any man's soul some alarm, there was another thought, or rather vague, nameless horror concerning him, which at times by its intensity completely overpowered all the rest; and yet so mystical and well nigh ineffable was it, that I almost despair of putting it in a comprehensible form. It was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me.

yesterday I went through my dream journal and gave each dream a title after reading it, and made a master list of dream titles so I could scan it and see at a glance if patterns form. I realised I have never had a good dream. Not one. Isn't that remarkable? Not one. I had read a book on dreaming and I read dreams that were like the feeling of angels brushing your hair, and inexpressible peace and beauty. My dreams are all slugs, moss and mould, dilapidated homes, anger, pain, fire, contempt. Lately I wake up in the middle of the night because invisible hands are pushing on me. I realised after the shock of the nightmare that they were trying to force me to look under the bed. Isn't that funny? That the ghost would come and be so cliche as to try and get me to look at the horrors under my bed? Lately I realise my whole life is horror. I see shadows moving across my eyes. I walk through a door and I see a fracture in reality, a dozen demons flash into awareness to show me their teeth and how hungry they are, white eyes in the night, a single yellow eye in the hole in the bathroom floor. there's a circle of talcum powder around the toilet now to soak up the piss. it's unbelievable. you could not know. you would need to scour the earth to find a smell like it. these things are not commonplace. the stench is thick, its circumstances specific. talcum powder lines it now. like salt, I realised.

Consider for example Platonic forms or essences of certain objects which are created by men such as tables or chairs or swords.
Objects like that do not grow in nature. They are created by men.
Yet we also know that they have an essence (like Platonic forms) such as the universal form of a table.
In order for that to be real (which it is) then it must be the case that God has personhood and a divine mind in which such universal categories exist, upon which all particular objects are instantiated.
This proves that not only is there a God, but also that He has Personhood and specificity. He is not some vague wishy washy "force" or whatever like new agers say.

One thing I’ve been thinking a lot about this evening is Panda Bear’s lyric to Derek “When you count, you can count on me.” It’s a beautiful sentiment, but I am left wondering what it means to be someone you can count on. “You can count on me” seems like a beautiful thing to say to someone. It rolls off the tongue and it sounds somewhat melodious to the ears. The double “K” sounds really mix well with the “ah” in “on” and the way it ends on the drawn out “ee” adds something to it as well. I must say, though, I don’t care for the pronunciation with the “t” at the end of “count” enunciated quite so well. It adds a feeling of finality to the end of “count” and almost makes it seem like the “on me” part is left over. After saying it over and over and comparing the two different versions in my mind, I have to say that omitting the “t” sounds seems better. Pronouncing “count” like “cown” makes it sound a little more homely and reliable. Maybe it better carries the meaning of the phrase. Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

Can you solve this riddle?

I'm a strange creature, for I satisfy women,
a service to the neighbours! No one suffers
at my hands except for my slayer.
I grow very tall, erect in a bed,
I'm hairy underneath. From time to time
a beautiful girl, the brave daughter
of some churl dares to hold me,
grips my russet skin, robs me of my head
and puts me in the pantry. At once that girl
with plaited hair who has confined me
remembers our meeting. Her eye moistens.

No, I feel like many lyricists forget that the human voice can still be an incredibly versatile and acute instrument, and minor "mis"pronunciations can add emotional flavor and character to lines and how they interplay with the melody, rhythm and harmony. The most obvious example is how British and Australian bands sing in a more American way to sound grittier. Of course, singers with the "indie voice" like Joe Newman of alt-J bastardize the hell out of what you can get away with with this freedom, but that's another thing entirely.

Maybe I’m only obsessing over someone unattainable because I believe that I don’t deserve to be loved and that I’ll never be good enough. When I’m treated unkindly it feels familiar, partially because I hate myself, and I believe that cruelty and dismissiveness is what I deserve.
The irony is that there are others who are eager to show me kindness and affection, and have pursued me pretty aggressively, but every single time I get scared and push them away. It’s easier to fixate on someone unattainable from afar, because I don’t have to worry about fucking everything up and being humiliated if things never actually get intimate.

I often look out into the world and wonder what's out there for me yet after all these years I still don't see anything appealing that I truly want. Just things I feel others want me to want but no longer desire. I've tried the normal stuff like travel and going out to eat which seems to be the thing people live for, yet I don't find it appealing at all and wears me out. They say to travel to get a better perspective of life and how people live, yet all the people who spout that crap don't take their own advice. Because from what I see, poorer people in other countries seem very happy living simplistically which is what I want in my life but seems to be frowned upon if you live that way locally, like I'm just wasting my time and potential. The way a lot of people "travel" just seems like another form of "consumption/consumerism", which there is nothing wrong with it if you like that, but I don't see the appeal.

The only other thing I want is kids but I think I've missed the boat to find a quality woman and so I no longer see the point of working after getting fired over something simple as refusing the vax.
I have also seen how draining and troublesome life can be if you end up with the wrong woman who might be lazy, overly materialistic or have other issues. Which I'm sure ends up being the case with so many men these days.

I was fired over a year ago over refusing the vax and it's made me question why I even bother with tryig to participate in society when they didn't even want me to have my simplistic life I always wanted. I made my own money and didn't bother anyone, what was their problem? Especially over something that doesn't stop you getting infected, or stop you spreading it, and I'm in the age group where I'm not at real risk of a serious case? Everything I want to do I can do from my home. Garden, workout, read, talk to people etc. The most I would want to do is volunteer at some place once a week or whatever but I'm not even allowed that due to not being vaxxed.
Weird thing is I don't even feel depressed. I wake up have my coffee and workout then I have the rest of the day to do as I please. If I can already do all I can please without working then why do I need to work and why do people expect me to work when they also didn't want me to have my job when I did have one?

I mean think about it .....when society gleefully saw people excluded from society over not getting the vax and happily saw them get temrinated over it and effectively banned for nearly a year from even working. Wtf did they think was going to happen to us? What was their honest long term goal that we are still alive and well all the same. Even now there is still a stigma over not being vaxxed yet they will have no issues with 2 dosers when the vax fades and being unboosted or not having a relevant dose within the past 3 months basically makes you unvaxxed.

The insurance industry baffles me, as does the general tendency for finance capitalism to turn the fundamental pillars of the economy into a casino.

Insurance is the inverse of casino house logic. They bet on bets, by anticipating that many low-rollers will lose consistently to offset the rare situation in which a high-roller wins. The small, though significant bias in favor of the casino, the house edge, makes it likely that the house will almost always at minimum break even.

For something like health insurance in America, it's basically , in essence, a scam. It bets on health people making minimum use of their plans while paying premiums, to offset the occasional situation when the policy guarantor has to pay for a $500,000 dollar transplant surgery.

Etc ARE the copes. And if you don't desire that stuff anymore (or have a way to get them free like tv subs) wtf do I need to work or get a job. And like what often happens to people we they earn more, including myself, their tastes just get more and more expensive for the same shit for no really good reason besides it being a cope to justify the time you are putting in not work to be earning all that money. But if you break that mentality, it makes you wonder what's it all for. Like I said earlier, I'm sure people out there are completely fine with that mentality and lifestyle, but if it doesn't suits yours, what's next?

A lot of places even expect you to work Full time or not at all. And it's often frowned upon to be a part time worker unless you are a woman even if that's all you need to get by.

To be honest, I gave up on streaming services and mainstream media quite some time ago. However, the other things you're talking about (besides clubbing) are quite fun, IF you have someone to share them with. Travelling with a partner, sharing a meal with a partner, going buying a perfume, or matching pajamas. Sharing your life with someone makes a TON of things worthful which usually aren't.

I’m not happy, and therefore I’m likely not content with reality. But that’s only likely. There are other things a person needs besides contentment with reality in order to be happy, correct? Contentment is a solid foundation upon which meaning can be built, so while I may have contentment, I don’t necessarily have meaning. Contentment is a necessary condition for both meaning and happiness, but not a sufficient condition for either. There’s an important lesson there: something “being wrong” is a description of an absence of contentment, not an absence of meaning. Meaning, and so happiness (as I think they travel together, at least in the way they’re important to me) is a positive attribute over and above mere contentment, and so in addition for nothing being wrong for these to be the case, something specific must also be right--I think this additional something specific may be as simple as a particular orientation toward reality and its content, a specific bending toward the light of self-of-and-in-world. Do I feel like I’m doing this? I try. I’m on the right path. Now that I’ve recognized this additionally necessary positive state, however, I’m only made myself aware of its absence in the majority of cases and situations, and so, insofar as I’m aware of the necessity for this state, I’m also aware of its absence. Having unproblematically achieved contentment, meaning has become the new bar, and I now call the absence of meaning “something wrong”, whereas that description used to apply to something as basic as the absence of contentment. Is this elaboration of the possibility of unhappiness progress?

What grind though? My job just does not even give me enough work to do. It's public service so it's not like I can just ask for a promotion or more work. For the last year, I've gone on 2-4 hour hikes and read nearly a book a day. It's nice, but it gets old and depressing.

That's dumb, American left already treats child victims like shit. It's the right you need to desensitize because they're the ones who would actually shoot someone who fucked a child. Leftists would prefer to not do anything about the kid. You're making them seem like active participants when they're the epitome of Somebody Else's Problem thinkers.

I'm away for work and they accidentally booked me and a female coworker in the same room.

We are on seperate beds but I feel really uncomfortable. Haven't told my wife because I don't want her getting weird thoughts but this all feels so weird. Nothing is going to happen but I can smell her and she has really nice feet, so in a sense I've just had a decent glimpse of her nude seeing that I'm a footfag.

Should I tell my wife about the mix up? If so when or should I just not mention it at all

The only strong stance that Gen Z has is the rejection of all the strong stances that anyone older than them has, and who could blame them for that? These kids are growing up in internet psycho factories and inheriting a pile of meaningless shit spray-painted gold.

No I believe members of the DNC actively participate in pedophelia to get adrenochrome. The Jews/left are desensitizing us to adult/child relationships so if they ever get caught it’s no big deal. They don’t have to necessarily desensitize the right. Just make them look like the crazy/wrong ones

Who's us then? Centrists? They already wouldn't get involved in any contentious issue. It's kind of in the name. And why would they need pedo shit to get adrenochrome? America's not exactly opposed to poorly thought out medicine. They could just pay for it without pedo shit. The left doesn't give a shit about kids, and their only sensitivity to pedos is right wing ones where they're kind of happy the kid got raped because then they can waffle on about how they were right about religion.

I don't see any reason to mention it. As long as nothing happens you have nothing to be guilty about.

Why the doors won't open? I ve been knockin on them all my life.
Maybe they don't want me to knock.
Maybe i should burn down their houses. Yes, they WANT to have no choice, because it's only under discomfort that those puny humans give their best..
They wanted to have stability but they only got mediocrity.
I will force them to give me what they have, cause they don't know how to use it anyway.

My usual grind is my work that makes a lot of money but isn't particularly enjoyable and distracts me from my demons I.e. being alone and having no close relationships. That's the stuff I should *really* be working on. I keep telling myself that when I'm ready I'll get to it but the day never comes

I see. I used to have a job that made a lot of money, but I quit over ethical concerns. That's how I got this easy job, which drives me nuts actually.

School and work, I suppose. The reason I don't have anyone to turn to is that I don't know anyone with the sort of education or in the line of work in question, nor do I have any personal family or friends who, I think, give good advice.

On top of really disliking the people and the environment and overall mission of the job and organization, I just really have nothing to do, and certainly nothing important to do. I've been here for a little over 3 years now. I really should have left after 1, but I got comfortable I guess.
