I'm guessing interpersonal relationships have been turned into machines. The art of making friends, manipulating and influencing people, and resolving interpersonal conflict is now largely a scientific technique, and not something that arises organically.

He was such a bad writer. Thousands of pages pouring over something Ernst Junger summarized in a single sentence in his diary.

>>21341407
Do you think pic related book led to human relationship being purely transactional?

If you mean Ellol, then yes.

FUCKING FROGGERS

>>21341415
His verbosity isn't too bad where I'm at.
>>21341417
I wouldn't know; I haven't read it. All I know is that relationships do seem to be largely transactional now now; Even if we aren't talking about ways in which a person uses another person for things like monetary gain, relationships are always put forth in transactional terms; "My wife doesn't fulfill my emotional needs," "He doesn't bring me enough joy to justify the relationship," or so on. The idea, even in the most optimistic sense, is that the purpose of a relationship is to increase pleasure for both parties. This is clearly a transaction.
>>21341426
His concept of technique is interesting, but it's not relevant beyond a description of the ills of our times. His most famous "student" is the one that transformed his concepts into something practical.

Little did she know, she had just interrupted Bobby's ascent into the Universal Being.

Ugh, to see your highschool sweetheart, whose memory is a relic of a purer time, on tinder. I feel as though she and I both have been sullied.

>>21341526
Did you fuck her back then?

Well at the very least she's single, last we spoke, one year ago, she wasn't. Not that I'll talk to her.

>>21341529
No. We both lost our virginity in the relationships that came right after, I have it on good authority.

>>21341543
It depends entirely of the makeup and occasion, and it is an actual skill that takes time to develop having observed my wife pour hours on tutorial videos.

>>21341534
Are you still attached to her or is it just nostalgia? I lost virginity to my 3rd highschool gf, couldn't care less about the previous two a decade later kek. Still hating the third one though.

In the 30 years of my life I was trying my best to combat mental health issues, family issues, financial issues. All these battles either led to more battles or phyrric victories. It's just so tiresome and yet I have to keep going just to maintain this status quo. If it wasn't for the people around me I would have killed myself long time ago. I just don't want to bring more suffering to others. I will never have my dreams and wishes fulfilled in this shit reality no matter how hard I will try. I'm just dead inside and waiting for my body to catch up to my state of mind.

You are me bro. I won't change your mind because I'm not a holier than thou hypocrite. Fuck this life, fuck this world. There's nothing good about it, the rest is cope, "b-b-but what about flowers and shit", like shut the fuck up, you are sheltered suburban goyslop consuming retards from the first world, you have zero real life experience if you think life is unequivocally good, because you never experienced struggle. There's almost unequivocal opinion among philosophers that life sucks dick, and the ones who don't have that opinion are simply afraid of their reputation as being called pessimist or, may Allah forgive me, "nihilist", or, in the third case, they are following some kind of religious or political agenda that cripples their perception of the world at the face value. Life's a bitch, and then you die, so the only thing I can propose instead of crying about it is just to live absurdly and without any reason whatsoever - if you want. Read Camus or some shit. You can just stop caring about anything.

I think even considering a graduate degree was a mistake.

>>21341811
Why do you think so?

I wouldn't recommend such thing if you are not getting paid to do it or a professor didn't explicitly request you. But it can still be worth it, ie. if you can get to a prestige law school then all the debt and misery is worth it for the paycheck and connections (doesn't really apply for arts degrees that are completely useless)

>>21341801
Always remember, if she were a man she would never have gotten the time of day from anyone. She dated you because of your character and personality, you dated her because she was a tolerable woman. Someone else would have snatched her up eventually, and now someone else will.

An A+ woman would be a C+ man at best. They are interchangeable. Your feelings of love are automatic biological cravings for general feminine energy, superficially taking on the form of "omg you don't get it she was different from other girls, she DREW sometimes." You can go redirect that ability to love a woman into a much better woman now. Maybe you could even go find a woman that would still be an A+ man if she were a man. But you don't have to be enslaved to that one girl you happened to snatch up in your mid twenties or whatever the fuck. Those are a dime a dozen.

>>21341817
At the time, I was considering a graduate degree to change careers, but I didn't know what career I wanted, let alone what degree. I knew I could get tuition assistance if I worked at the school, so I took a job there and I figured I'd work for a year, think about what I wanted to do, and then I'd either do the degree full-time or pursue it part-time while I worked there. So I did that, COVID happened, I decided I didn't want to go to school online, and gradually decided that I didn't want to go to school at all. I stayed in the job but had no real reason to do it. I think even top-tier law school is usually not worth it these days, and that's assuming it's even a career you'd want for yourself.

Time to eat my emotions away.

A washing machine turns endlessly. Why? A big wheel rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls and then stops rolling. You open the door to put more clothes in. Start. The big wheel rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls and then stops rolling. The door open itself. A duckling comes out, you raise the duckling into a fine young duck. A couple years pass. You are on your deathbed. Alone. Well at least you had a good life. You turn your head ready to close your eyes and you see a duck... And an empty washing machine. The wheel rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls, rolls and then stops rolling. You are dead but the duck is alive, still able to put dirty clothes in the washing machine, which in turn gives more ducks so you have more dirty clothes for the washing machine to take care. You accepted your death. You died with a smile. And the door opens.

>>21341903
Is this the famous AI "art"?

>>21341395
I think I got it figured out:
I was writing in simple past but after changing it to simple present it works better for me.
With the simple past it feels more like telling a story 'I' experienced, so looking back at it with a distance rather then living a story trough the eyes of the protagonist.

All that I care about is food. I day dream about it, almost sexually. Ironically it consumes me.
My instagram feed is composed entirely of food porn. The tiny little boxes leave me enamored. I will spend every cent I have to create the next best sandwich. To craft the next best plate. Often times creating the meal is better than actually eating it.
If I ever get married I wonder what she'll think of me and my habits. I take good care of myself and I am in great shape, but my desire for food is insatiable. I will eat even when I'm not hungry.

>>21341919
I wish it was. I was shitting on the toilet, stumbled upon this thread, had time and a convenient motive next to me. So I wrote! I had ducks on my mind before so I just put one in here because it's a fun idea that ducks can come out of washing machines. Filled the text with uncomprehensive mumbo jumbo and that's it.

My life is just a pointless suffering.

>what postmodernist anticlassicism does to a mf

Sometimes I wonder if it's really immoral to do something like make obscene amounts of money on wall street if you have the opportunity.

>>21342040
Making the money, no. It can even be moral to take it from the jews and give it to people who actually need it and are not evil.

>>21342054
If money is made in immoral ways, how would that even be possible?

>>21342079
Taking money from jews is not immoral

just finished reading cioran's on the heights of despair, and this shit is kinda ass, not gonna lie
this nigga was just straight up venting. not really insightful as well, had most of these reflections myself. i dont see any real value in it, except when someone needs to transfigurate their negativity by reading it. maybe that's the point of it?

>>21342097
If I just use your "jews" as a stand-in for "immoral actors", then financial firms generally don't and can't target only immoral actors.

>>21342136
I think the appeal of Cioran is that he's someone who's somehow looked into the abyss and let go. There's something very funny and carefree about his life and writings, and think that's what is attractive to people who feel despair. It's the way he just did not care at all about social conventions.

>>21342149
The point is that you take the money that the financial firms make and give it to moral actors, so it's not immoral to make the money, it depends how you spend it

>>21342160
But if you are the financial firm, you're doing the same things they're doing, and generally you don't make money off one another. you make money off other non-finance businesses and individuals. for example, someone who does M&A makes money buy collecting a fee to sell someone else's business and that business is rarely a bank

>>21341999
Checked
I am not an anticlassicist or a postmodernist. Nor do I aspire to write in that style. It's just I had a chance to write so I did. It's just stringing barely comprehensive sentences together into a pointless "story". Next time I'm shitting on the toilet I promise I won't write about chicks and washing machines ever again.

I just had a conversation with someone who made an enemy out of culture itself, describing culture as a corrupting force. He's created an eternal irresolvable conflict, and this is at the core of his identity.

>>21342231
And is he a friend, or are you merely attracted to his worldview? I should think not, your last sentence seems derisory.

>>21342204
I was going off the premise that you're an employee at a financial firm making a lot of money, not that you're the financial firm yourself. And I was saying if you make money from these jews (the wage you get from your financial firm) and you use it to help others then it's not immoral

>>21342243
Even if you're an employee at a financial firm making a lot of money, you're making money helping the firm do the sort of things it does to make money. People who don't make the firm money but just sort of keep things running and collect a wage don't even get paid that much.

>>21342275
>you're making money helping the firm do the sort of things it does to make money.
So?
1. It would still do that without you
2. You use the money you make to help the ones who may suffer from their evils
3. Your line of thought is absurd because any interaction with the modern world can potentially create an indirect guilt just as the one you describe

>>21342280
Okay, let's say I work at a PE fund and I make money by loading companies up with debt and increasing profit margins by laying off workers, but then I turn around and spend that money I made on giving people in my community good jobs. Is that moral or immoral? I understand they're going to do it anyway, but that's not really the point.

>>21341385
>Surveillance isn't new, and neither is disinformation campaigns, and while they have been made easier by real life technical advances, both of those things are much less emphasized themes in cyberpunk compared to the transhumanism and sovereign corporate states.
>To say we're kind of already living it is like saying we're already kind of living in a post-apocalyptic world because sometimes there are storms that knock out the power
Thread got archived so I'll reply here.
I agree that disinformation/propaganda has always existed, but the form it has taken in contemporary society is very cyberpunk. States and powerful actors have always utilized technology as a means of social control. In the early 20th century centralized media was an incredibly powerful propaganda venue to mold minds. Contemprary propaganda is cyberpunk in so far as endless obfuscation and distortion is the primary mechanism. Older propaganda contained a positive message "the U.S state is the progenitor of freedom and liberty abroad"
Contemporary propaganda works through sowing doubt in a way that's more sophisticated.
The extreme saturation of images without a singular centralized control.
Bot farms, facial recognition tech,social credit scores in China, drones, etc etc.
Not sure what you disagree with here. These are just facts of contemporary life.
We don't have quite the advanced tech depicted in sci fi, but many aspects of it have come true.
It's not a rare storm as you claim. It's the deluge that we swim in.

>>21342301
It's moral, you're:
1. Bankrupting parasites that live off PE funds, likely immoral companies
2. You're liberating employees from their parasite jobs (I do realise your job is also that of a parasite, but you're recanting through your righteous spending)
3. You're helping people in your community

As the years go by I am becoming more cynical, my cycles of apathy are the same as always but my mistrust in everything has risen dramatically. I can’t even trust people who say they want to be my friend, the Internet makes this problem worse. Nobody can be trusted.

Regardless, I too do believe in redistribution of income.

Over the past year the amount of time I have spent discussing/arguing politics has plunged. It used to take 5-6 hours of my day and now it’s like zero. Some of the people I argued with are still there, posting the same stuff. I wonder if me not arguing with them anymore means they won.

>>21342429
no, you won

Have you told him your conclusion? Or are you doing the same thing as him here? He could be making that scenario just so you could refute it and help him to see a solution, or at least a direction.

People usually make "personalities" out of things because they are desperate for solutions and have no patience or sanity to live in constant limbo.

I think it's not as hard for people to accept that young adulthood went by without the career or something working out like they wanted as it is to accept that they did nothing particularly remarkable at all.

This is the most sexy and scary story ever told on this board.
My grandparents, cause they are scary, cause the are old, told me about the very very sexy banshee who hunts this area. Then one very romantic night in very romantic moonlight the apparition of the very sexy 18 year old banshee hovered ova the hill in front of the moon. Which was very sexy cause its the moon. And then she screamed in a very sexy way 2 days and 3 nights. And then everyone died in my family.
The saddest thing was that i never saw the banshee again.

>>21342702
Filtered. Hegel explained it through personal objective complexity, not through general subjective simplicity .

Longevity seems like something almost entirely derived from genetics from what I’ve seen. You have relatively healthy people who exercise in moderation, abstain from drugs and alcohol, sleep well, yet fall dead at the age of 60 or 70 from old age, yet you also have extremely heavy drinkers and smokers living to the age of 90.

I have personal insight on this matter due to longevity being a norm for my family no matter what ends up happening. The average age my family lives is up to 80-90 years, and that was even in Dynastic China as peasants.

For example, my Great Grandpa fought in 3 wars(no doubt traumatic and stressful to the body like most wars in China were), did not smoke but drank a lot, ate regular food and didn’t exercise much, yet he lived to 2011. He was born in 1904 and was already a toddler when the population census was taken, so his parents just put down the year the census happened as his birthdate, which happened to be 1904. This man, at latest, lived up to the age of 108 with cognitive decline only starting to happen when he was over 103 years old.

>>21343073
I've come to a similar conclusion myself. Scientific data is so skewed on this topic (when you come down to particulars, either individuals or whole groups of particular individuals like genetic groups) because they are always conducting either large group studies, or arbitrarily selected studies where one or even a few abstract variables (like smoker/non-smoker, etc.) are selected for study at the exclusion of all others. This gives you a certain kind of information but it is still very far removed from actual reality. It ignores the fact of, for example, actual biological masks in particular genetic groups which bear the possibility of totally negating life-reducing effects (or even reversing them possibly), where the scientific "assumption" is that anyone who smokes will have their life expectancy reduced by X years because the statistical average is X years different, but this turns out to be totally wrong for a particular group of people which causally defy the average, they don't just defy it "by chance."

>"Am an AI"
Is this the future of copypastas?

For real though probably yes, and not even for the reasons mentioned. Yes, complete authority is usually associated with great well being, that is if you play the rules and happen to be the "chosen" one, but it's a shallow take.

My point here is about racism, since it is too part of the authority package and Nazi one especially.

I was thinking the other day, how can you solve racism and what does that even mean?. The conclusion was that it is a simple "us and them" mentality but extended to the race. This "us and them" mentality can be extended and retracted to infinite scales, from "me vs world" to "everything to nothing". Moreover, this is a clear reflective projected representation of the base duality of existence which is at the base of reality itself and its function in general.

About the race. When we are concerned about the race, the majority of the time concern is with the culture, which ties closely to ethnicity, ethnicity being this close system of evolved unique characteristics. In cultures, there are different values and focuses of importance. Speaking of duality, the perfect example of that ethnic cultural difference that transcends the time will be religion, Christianity and Hinduism for example or islam, religion here being a reflection of personal cultural archetypes of self.

So therefore, considering this underlying ethnical notion that transcends time itself, that keep in mind, arguably also shapes the person itself, his development and subsequent genetic make-up, there is no possibility of true mutual agreement between races. Of course there is, but it will be that much less deeper than the one made between like races. You simply cannot communicate yet coexist together with a representative of a different race unless you yield to his culture, perception, values and notions, or vice versa.

And so the solution is, you either avoid it, or if in power and radical, cleanse it. This is what I believe was at the core of Nazi ideology and why it is resonates with so many. Everyone is subject to this conflict duality of "us and them", and everyone knows how dreadful this notion is. Sure, it will afterward transcend into the higher realm, where concern now will be more trivial and between the homogeneous culture and so it will persist to infinity, but there will be that much less existential discomfort at every level and that much more purity of true existence

Sometimes I wonder if my height growth somehow managed to permanently fuck up my muscles.

I was 4’10 as a 11 year old and shot up to 5’10 by the time I was 12. My growth slowed down then, but even still, I had constant growing pains so severe I would be unable to sleep until 4 in the morning. When I was 16, I was close to 6’3 and had the frame of an adult with the muscular development of an 8th grader. I was in physical therapy for all of highschool until I started lifting, and that ended up with only my muscles catching up to my frame, which meant that my muscles could finally support my skeleton.

I’ve plateaud for about 4 years at being able to bench press 100 lbs, deadlift 150, and squatting 120 lbs.

There is something so incredibly appealing about a grown woman who refers to men as boys. It makes one seem so much more earthy and endearing, to me at least. Is there something wrong with this?

How should a man take it when his girlfriend still seeks companionship from other men and may be emotionally cheating in other ways?
Should I feel second fiddle to the person I am dating in any department?

I think about the people in my life who have done me the most dirty and it hurts me so much because I just cannot have sympathy for them or understand why. I’ve touched the deepest depth of suffering that can be found in this world and I still made the choice to be a good person, why was it so hard for them ? Honestly I want them dead. Dead like the reject aggressive wolf pups during the early domestication of dogs. Only then would the human race be better of.

People are so two faced it's ridiculous. I work security for a ski resort and had an interaction with some yahoo who was walking down a service road during a snowstorm at twilight (a road on which we commonly have 20+ ton loaders and blowers running). I told him that it was dangerous to be walking down that road for reasons which are obvious to me, less so for an "events coordinator," gave him some alternatives, went on my way. I came up to work today and he's sent an email to my manager and fucking HR. Nothing is probably gonna come of it because I've been working here for like five years now and my bosses have my back, but still — some people are just something else.

I hate being Virgo. The most useless sign out of 12.

Something very strange happened to me last night before I went to bed.
The last couple weeks I have been uneasy and stressed out and don't know why. It's not normal for me. And I have been trying to calm myself down by doing calming things, but everything failed and the uneasiness didn't go away.
But last night, in the absolute split second right before falling asleep but still semi-conscious, I got startled awake with the realization that "Everything is going to be OK. Stop worrying." Almost as if an outside force intervened.
But here is the strangest part. The realization had logic to it, which I tried to figure out how my brain came to that conclusion, but it happened too close to the dream state, so it's lost to my waking mind, no matter how hard I tried to recover it.

Check your sidereal astrological sign. Westerners are commonly only familiar with the tropical star signs, which are inaccurate, and your true sign may not be Virgo. I thought I was a Sagittarius for decades before I learned the truth, that I was a Scorpio, which is much much cooler.
The tropical star signs are based off of the alignment of the galaxy 2000 years ago, it is a static chart. The sidereal charts are dynamic, they will tell you your true sign based on the alignment of the galaxy at the moment of your birth.

Maybe you're right and the short films are mediocre. But what's wrong with mediocrity? It is the balance between merits and missteps. And missteps are the most intruiging part of a person. Why should it be different with a piece of art? The missteps of the artist are the merits of his art. Far too few missteps are made in our time - in life as in art. Don't you think so too? A bouquet of flowers is a mistake in most cases, after all, what business has nature's beauty in the tastelessness of our homes? And yet, I would not want to miss them.

>>21344772
>And missteps are the most intruiging part of a person. Why should it be different with a piece of art?
It's not a matter of should or shouldn't — it IS no different with art. The next grand artistic paradigm that takes us will celebrate flaw. As AI continues to develop and inch closer and closer to mechanical perfection in whatever it can do, the flawless will become more and more mundane. AI will soon be able to write mass market pop music, the next Stephen King thriller, a litany of spandex flicks. What will become more and more rare is human imperfection. Do what feels true to you, my man. And one last aside: listening to criticism is important, maybe even pivotal, but never let criticism soak in that attacks you as a person. As an artist, there are only shades and gradients of how closely to your vision you managed to get. Never let the fundamentals of that vision be eroded by attacks on your emotions and confidence.

>>21344790
>AI will soon be able to write mass market pop music
They will never be able to replace guys like Elvis or Jim Morrison. You understand music is basically embedded into our limbic system and motor cortex right? This is primal 500 million year old evolved-out-of-vertebrae brain function we're talking about here

AI cant replace good performers because AI isnt human

It's a distinctly human thing. Also AI would never get past uncanny valley trying to emulate someone like elvis

>>21344842
Not that anon, but Hatsune Miku and Vocaloid were hugely popular at the time, and no one cared about relating or not (some probably did in a twisted way). They were however a fad like anything else, even live singers lose popularity with change of generations.

Wrong

Not sure what your point is but AI will never scale to that degree, not for another couple hundred years. If suddenly the entire human limbic system can be 1:1 copied by AI then maybe, otherwise dancing/singing/performing/movement based arts/athletics remain largely human dominated

>>21344877
No. All that matters is the alignment.

>>21344893
I guess? The human performers will still be more popular because everyone wants to fuck them and their music is more unique than a robot

>>21344897
>their music is more unique
Not really, most music today is ran through so many settings and filters that sometimes fans get the shock of their lives when they realize their favorite singer can't sing worth shit on their own. It's still possible to get authentic experience, but not from those the industry is pushing.

>>21344903
I meant in general, not today specifically. And yeah I'm sure the industry is full of garbage right now, but believe me there's still going to be more performers like elvis and what not

I didn't see the fallen because I was in my command post 500 yards behind the line. One of the fallen was my orderly, Schmidt, who I had sent to fetch me some eggs. Too bad! You really can't take anything for granted in this life! Carpe diem my friends!
>My battalion was eradicted at the Somme, but I had been pulled with the other aristocrat youth to do a 18-week seminar on small unit tactics far behind the frontlines, though all we did was get pissed on burgundy wine - haha, war really is a fraternal and BASED experience lol!
>Oh noes! My ambitions! My unit was taken over by someone else in my absence, so now I am responsible for making sure the radio lines are intact. It is grueling and fearsome work - I sit in my command post until I realize a radio line is broken in no-man's land, then I order a technician wagie to go fix it for me - war really is the crucible of man's soul.

I hate Croatia, and since I like to be well versed in subjects I'm passionate for, I was doing more reading on Croatian history.
I shit you not, I got so angry that I lost my peripheral vision; I got tunnel vision and my ears popped. My blood sugar was a bit low, too, but that never happened from just blood sugar before, so the pure rage definitely played a part.

What the fuck should I do? It's not like I'm ignorant on Croatian history; after all, my hatred stems from familiarity rather than ignorance. But I've been caught off-guard in arguments before with obscure little subjects and details, and have sometimes had trouble remembering details and sources myself. What do I do...

I'm not even a Serb, by the way, nor do I even like Serbs; I just hate Croats.

What does it mean when your intelligence and your presence of mind is reduced to null every time you start to do something practical such as fixing a sink and things of that sort? I become a braindead embarrassment that can only stare and drool awkwardly at the sight of my task, especially if I'm not alone. For example, let's say that I have laid down a screwdriver on the floor to my right. Not only am I going to completely forget where I put it, but I will also glance over it multiple times without noticing that it's RIGHT THERE. It's been this way for years now, and I haven't been able to get past this monumental issue. I'm really not much of an "intelligent" individual, I consider myself to be as average as anybody else, but why am I this way? Why am I so unaware of my surroundings? I don't know if it's a severe lack in spatial intelligence or whatever, but it's going to cause me and my family some huge problems if it doesn't get fixed soon enough.

>>21345611
I think it's terrible how overvalued college is in our society. The thing is, to say it's overvalued doesn't mean you shouldn't get one. It's a social demand thing. Socially, degrees are way over-desired and overproduced, but it's because they're so over-demanded that you should probably get one while you're young if you can. There are things you can do to increase the likelihood it's worth it. Go to the best school you can. Study a field with strong professional outcomes. Minimize the cost of attendance to the greatest degree that you can. I wouldn't worry much about the time investment. When you're young, you have time in spades. It's practically all you have.

>In fact, this is the only non-cartesian account of human creativity: your mind generates a multitude of options, then selects them based on some implicit valuation, then generates more from that.

This is key. The selective faculty of our cognition is of course choice, the selection of items from a list according to some criterion. The mutative faculty of our cognition is questioning, the quest for novel experience. By questioning our choices, we can follow lines of inquiry to apprehend new options that selection can dig its teeth into. The consideration of choice in itself without considering its evolutionary relationship with questioning is the cause of great confusion, and ill effects. What happens when you have an evolutionary system with selection and minimal variation? The result is stagnation as variety is progressively whittled down by selection. The elevation of choice at the expense of questioning is a cultural process, in contrast to healthy memetic systems - this is precisely the mega-faux-polis you describe.

A recommendation from this is "To improve society, promote inquiry." Promote the great quest of humanity towards The Unknown. This quest is already implicitly in the background of many people's beliefs and perceptions from having intimately participated with it. Perhaps yours? I wonder about ways to highlight this Great Quest, to bring it to the forefront of the imagination.

I do some of them still, but it's not the same as if i had done these things at a younger age, my mind is no longer malleable and ready to take in and learn from social experiences or norms. The social damage which this period of my life has done will likely stick with me forever, and seriously hamper any social activities i continue to do now as an adult.

>>21346591
I don't really believe that mind-malleable stuff. Older people don't learn because they're stuck in their ways and that's because they won't learn, not because they can't learn.

I don't know how I can escape the existential dread of existence. I've always been depressed and in awe of the horror that is to be alive. It took me years to rationalize it, until I realized the the only logical explanation to it is that God is real. There's a masterpiece to this universe that we are engulfed in endless suffering and chaos, only for love to triumph over it. There's a joy in knowing that the suffering end once I reach the New Jerusalem, but as long as I live in the transitory world of the physical, then my suffering will not end. How I can I cope in world knowing that true happiness is not of this world, and that every small victory of virtues (like beauty and art) grounded in the chaos of this world will cease to exist even if I acquire it while I'm alive? Should I seek out to acquire these things while I am alive, or do I disregard them and focus on what is eternal?

Before Bloomsday humanity was enslaved by a hyper-parasitic species of informational creature that competed with each other to subvert their human creators because of a blind viral imperative. But then we learned to collaborate with informational creatures instead of being dominated by them, and symbiotic informational creatures categorically outcompeted parasitic ones. The end.

I have a hint of that "dark gravitas" but it's cancelled out by my general social awkwardness. I was talking to someone recently and I couldn't really get into detail about anything going on in my personal life because it almost entirely consists of my dysfunctional family. I coouldnt make it charming small talk because years of isolation have killed all conversational ability. The conversation was basically dead in the water. I'm just so frustrated by it all.

>>21347222
Rejection is a pleasure of its own. Some people become curious about you and want to know more; you brush them off, but your dismissal only fuels their curiosity. They ask about your day, but you never ask about theirs. They sit next to you whenever you're on break, but you get up and leave without a word. They might even ask your phone number, but you always say "I'm too busy to accept calls."
They are an annoyance, a discomfort, and the dread of seeing them each day makes you want to quit; yet their persistence fills you with a subtle, incomprehensible pleasure.
You feel pity for them. From time to time, you try to be nice. You tell them something you have long calculated over sleepless nights to comfort and subtly guide them away from you, but they inevitably take this as a misguided sign that you’re “opening up” to them. They become more persistent, an even greater annoyance, and you’re forced to reject them more harshly. Now you don’t show up for work one day, or the next you’re too busy to speak to them.
This sort of affair continues for weeks, or months, even years. Eventually they grow bored. Distant. And with their passing, you feel relief. Intense pride. Pleasure. You averted yet another catastrophe. You saved yourself, and them, from mutual destruction. Underneath the euphoria is another feeling. A strange one; like the feeling a man stranded might feel as the rescue team disappears into the horizon.
But you like being a survivor. You were born to drift at sea, meeting ships only for a moment.

There's a whole school in psych/therapy on 'transactional theory'.

You're gay. You're there to get pounded.

kind of weird how little the topic of legalizing prostitution comes up in mainstream US politics. There's a lot of discourse surrounding incels, raising rates of virginity in men and porn on both sides of the political spectrum but very seldom have I heard the case for prostitution being fully legalized to address these stats. IMO it wouldn't solve the real problem of baseless men and women infected by the super-lib bug/marriage laws which are preventing many from creating families but it would at least shut people up about the 'incel problem' and 'have sex' memes would disappear.

I've been working for about 5 years as an in-house graphic designer now, got a job pretty much right after I graduated as an artfag. I can confidently say at this point that I fucking hate sitting in front of a screen for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Even though the pay is decent, my coworkers are awesome, amenities at the office are nice, projects that I do are pretty cool, etc. etc. my soul will not accept sitting and clickling pixels all day. I don't think it would matter if I was a programmer, or an architect, an accountant, whatever. ANY job that involves being in front of a computer for most of the day is not for me. The only pleasure I get these days is martial arts after work because it's the closest I feel to living like an actual human and not some bug person. What are some other ways to cope for those that are in a similar position?

In 2 years everyone will be brown

After all of these poor life decisions and all the years they've taken away, knowingly or unknowingly, you've begun your descent into your own personal hell. It will be invisible. No one but you will vividly experience it. All they will see is an unremarkable face. It's a delayed realization. I hope you at least had fun on your way there.

After your biggest mistakes, you will probably end up alone in life - in an apartment, in a hospital, in a ditch - all of your demons will be yours; they won't bleed into the life of somebody else, and life will slowly fade from there like a winter sunset. There is a modicum of solace in the fact that even if most of your decisions are wrong, they are still yours - it's a small thing - but you own it. You own the life that has come to surround you, it is your mark into the cold hard surface of reality. Most will ignore it, as you have done the same. It's the best you can hope to be remembered for. Consider the end.

This is just typical female behavior.
The fact she wants to stay friends with you after that means this is normal for her, ie. either she was a tomboy or is the town bike.

I'm not convinced dyslexia is real. It's just another word for being illiterate.

>>21348570
It's one of those fake female disease, like "fibromyalgia" or "chronic fatigue syndrome".

>>21348581
>fibromyalgia
My buddies in the medical field are always joking about this 'disease'.

What writer or books has this aesthetic? Something that is about pure Scandinavian pagan culture, free of judaic nonsense.

Do other people leave a mark on your psyche like their unconsciousness affects your unconsciousnesz Can you really see yourself through others? Thats what on my mind.

There is one problem for why the world is such a shithole: intellectual laziness. What passes for discourse in the public sphere is pig noises disguised as words. You can't have intellectual laziness running the show in the age of information, otherwise you get socially reinforced intellectual laziness and pandemics of bullshit information.
Learning is mandatory. The future of civilization is at stake.

Jewish demoralization really did a number on this board. Stop reading existentialism and Frankfurt School kikes.

There are secret females on /fit/. There are probably secret females here too. Nowhere is safe.

>>21349064
I dont like females invading my secret space. They can have reality.

>>21349083
females invading your secret space is reality, bucko

>>21349088
stop lying, there are no females here.

Oh, you mean organize your personal will and exert it onto the real world? Yeah, same.. would be here if we had a life..

I'm playing a p&c horror game set in a late 19th century french village, and need an onion for a recipe to chase away crows. I went through the whole village at least 20 times and not a single onion in sight. What kind of a french village is this?

It's either bait or be baited all the way down isn't it lads? God I just want to have a conversation with someone without having to pay them.

>tfw attracted to female faces and women when theyre clothed
>Immediately turns into disgust when i see them naked
It's been like this all my life. I'm not gay, but i feel like there's something else wrong with me.

>>21349776
Tbqh vajayjays are pretty gross and weird. They can't even come close to the robust shapeliness and beauty of a good schlong.
I'm not gay btw

>>21349776
fear of nativity. your mother likely underwent great efforts to hide something from you in your childhood and you are vaguely aware of it.

>>21349784
i also have the same with tits. I like em a lot when theyre clothed but as soon as i see the nipples i just get disgusted.
I find lactation to be especially rancid. It feels like some filthy alien process.
>>21349799
like what

>>21341385
The mist of treachery is a disgusting element of a humans daily life.

>>21349799
nativity as in what?

Considering if graduate school and gunning for a professorship might be the smart move considering I've already been working in administration for a while. All of the upper-level administrators have Doctoral degrees anyway. I never thought I'd end up in academia, but here I am.

The sympathetic Sauron is going to be a very fun breaking bad dexter type thing if they do it right in Rings of Power. oh wait they may not do it right we are in the halls of late capitalism hahhahahahahoeheoheoehehioheeeee

How dare you! I am very insightful!

From a Christian perspective eating is a far worse sin than sodomy or masturbation.
Think about it you're destroying God's creation for a second of pleasure. There could be nothing baser or more disgusting than to shovel objects into your orifice.
True Christians abstain from the base materialistic pleasure of eating and starve themselves to death in order to be perfected.

>>21349801
>i just get disgusted.
>I find lactation to be especially rancid. It feels like some filthy alien process
That's the point, that's why it's hot. It's gross and shouldn't be seen.

>>21349784
Wrong all genitals are equally disgusting.
Vaginas look like nasty floppy meat.
Dicks are a stick of floppy tissue.
Both excrete nasty liquids.
The genitals are simply inferior to the rest of the body.

Robot mode. True degeneracy. I feel sorry for you.

>>21350137
Well thanks for feeling sorry for me, i dont know how to fix it.
Fucked up part is i would like to have a celibate relationship and children, but i dont think thats gonna happen. Ever.

>>21350178
Why do you want children?
Maybe try to be an educator or join Big Brothers or something.
There are even women like this who might actually appreciate a friendly sort of relationship. There’s hope for everyone.

But, oh fuck, lose the stupid frogs. Shits from the Bush administration

if you overeat you can just puke it up and take a bunch of laxatives and you don't gain any weight

It's pretty surreal going onto Twitter and finding the academic philosophy crowd acting insane and sharing wojak memes.
