Sometimes you're better off dead
The long sighs
Of the violins
Of autumn
Hurt my heart
There's a gun in your hand, and it's pointing at your head
With a languor
Of sameness.
You think you're mad, too unstable
All stifling
And pale, when
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
The hour sounds,
I remember
Days of once
And I weep
In a restaurant in a West End town
And I let myself go
Call the police, there's a madman around
With the evil wind
Which carries me
Running down underground to a dive bar
Here, beyond,
Like the leaf
Which has died
In a West End town

It remains paramount that in any discussion of governmental systems, this first and central question must be addressed: What is the purpose of government?

Although this seems like an utterly basic, if not remedial thing to establish, peoppe can already have such wildly different ideas about what exactly is government for before talking about how the government should function. Consider, that some people woud say government is nothing more than an entity to provide law and order upon the land, with taxes the payment needed to accomplish this job. Therefore, the logical conclusion of that line of thinking would be a government thay essentially leaves people alone for the most part, almost in a transactional, strictly-business kind of way. Government here, is a guard, a policeman, a soldier to keep others out and keep the peace.

Then there is another school of thought, that government should in some manner provide a service, a good, whether moral or material, a state religion, or state redistribution. Here, a government is priest or proletariat revolutionsry, have a direct role in the lives of citizen, not just in providing law and order in the land, but in the very heart, mind, and soul of a nation. In this way, government has become father, mother, or even dear comrade.

Of course, these were extreme examples. Realistically most people would be right to have a mix of the two, a government that protects as well as serve, providing this and that, while keeping the people safe and healthy. Here we find the modern democracy: Goverment is politician, a voice of the people, perhaps some more than others. Indeed, it can be a scary thing to think about, that a country once more laid back, hands-off, leave-me-alone in spirit grows evermore in reliance with governance as a genie of sorts, robbing Bob to care to Sally in the name of a kind of justice that governance is supposed to provide. Or worse, in larger scale taking the public coffer into the hands of shrewd business and failing corporations. What can be done, when the question of what is the government's purpose has become so muddied? Government for me, but not for thee, the seeds of tyranny grow mightily...

They knew two modes of private property: the odel and the feud.
The odel belong without restriction to it's master. The odel did not pay taxes. It constituted a real sovereignity.
As long as he was chief of the family and proprietary of an odel, his reports were reduced to little things. Together with other warriors he elected a magistrat to preserve national peace, that the Scandinavians called Drottinn and other nations who sprang from then Graff. Chosen among the oldest and noblest races, among those that could claim divine origin, this exact pendant to the Hindou viçampati exercized on his subjects the most restricted authority, if not the most precarious. Under this simple empire, every Arian, sovereign in his Odel, wasn't more bound to his national neighbours than are the different states constituting a federation.
This governmental form, useful in times of peace, was absolutely incompatible with the state of war. As soon as the Arian entered in campaign, he recognized that very particular reports had to intervene between the chief and the soldiers.
A well-known warrior appeared at the general assembly, and proposed himself to command the planned expedition. Sometimes, especially in cases of aggression, he even revealed the first idea. In other circumstances, he merely submitted a plan of his own that he applied to the situation. This candidate for command was careful to base his claims on his earlier exploits, and to make use of his tried and tested ability; but, above all else, the means of seduction which he could employ most happily, and which assured him of preference over his competitors, was the offer and guarantee, for all those who come to fight under his command, that they will be assured individual advantages worthy of their courage and covetousness. There was thus a debate and an overbidding between the candidates and the warriors. It was only by conviction or seduction that they could be led to engage with the entrepreneur of exploits, glory and spoils.
It is understood that much eloquence and a somewhat esteemable past were absolutely necessary for those who wanted to command. They were not asked, as the robbers or graffs, for the greatness of birth; but what they absolutely needed was military talent, and even more boundless liberality towards the soldier, for there would have been only dangers to follow their flag with no hope of victory or reward.

Is finding contentment through literary works just a delusion, like philosophical suicide? "This is exactly the book I need right now. Reading it inspires me to persevere in life." I can say there is such a work which helps me cope with my struggles rather than feeling only displeasure with existence. If the work didn't exist, I likely wouldn't find it in myself to keep going. But I feel like this is also a delusion and I'm still lacking a true meaning to life which I'm supposed to find within myself.

Career, money, friends are all social constructs. They don't exist. People put a patch on them to make them a bit important. Boasting about them is a sign of shallowness. You're a nobody, but you have to jerk your ego somehow, so you make fun of people who are lower in status than you, who have fewer friends than you, who earn less than you. You can't see that you're on the same or even lower level than them. You live too deeply in the material world and therefore you will never go beyond it. To me, you're an unironic NPC. kill yourself

I like to present myself as a romantic. Nothing strokes my vanity like talking in a manner similar to what you would see in a classic novel. I will sometimes spend almost a hour(but never more than) composing a post, using only the most eloquent words at my possession. I love to write poetry about big ideas, yet rarely do I actually consider these ideas in my daily life. I always portray myself as certain and steadfast in my beliefs when in reality I am clinically uncertain. I simply love the idea of being a tragic hero surrounded by the uncultured masses, who refuse to understand me. Truthfully, I just like to feel important without actually putting any effort into improving my standing in life

I had the craziest dream where I was am assistant to a coroner/mortician and we were handling a decapitated body. The problem was that the head was still alive. Barely alive, hanging on, and clearly suffering, so we put the head in the freezer to keep it alive longer. The whole dream was us documenting it so we could present it in court. I remember leaving work to walk around town for a while. I remember stopping into a bar but it was a christian evangelical bar. There was some guy there who was new jn town and was getting to know everyone. I had two fuzzy dogs which were duplicates of the dog I actually have. I think I felt my fuzzy blanket and dreamed they were dogs laying on me. Then I was back in a house I hadnt lived in for a while.

I believe there is only EVOLUTION, and he sayeth against his nibbaz: "We must fight against the creeping process of death by catalysing the will of species to prosper and overpower the environment."

But nature is just an agglomerate of different species surviving enough only to maxify reproduction. I embrace the New Wild.

I stupidly sent out part of my novel for critique. What the person had to say wasn't as bad as some I've gotten in the past, but it nevertheless reduced me to a blubbering mess. After 5 years of editing and redrafting one novel, I'm still getting critiques about the most basic stuff possible (Show don't tell, too many adverbs, too much exposition, lack of clarity, poor construction). I don't have the mental fortitude necessary to wipe the slate clean yet again and start from scratch.

Online friends are weird, more transient and ephemeral. You never really know how close is proper or if it's weird to be close to someone you only ever see in a game that includes Osama Bin Laden models.
Though i don't even know if there's anyone on the server i play on that I'd call a friend, but there are some there ive known for over a year now. And it brings a great comfort when i hear their voices again, but also like i don't want to disconnect because I don't know when or if I'll hear some of those voices again.
I've never really been able to connect irl or online it's the same. Even on this server I've been a part of for a year, usually i only use the text chat and rarely say anything. It brings me pain to always remain unknown. Like I can tell the other person feels some bond to me and then i just don't reciprocate back even though I want to because I am afraid. Then too some people become attracted to that unknown aspect, which then i feel i have to maintain that image.

4chan operates via the Nigerian Prince email scam method.

In the original method, the email is intentionally filled with grammatical and typographical errors (as well as an outlandish narrative) to weed out all but the biggest suckers.

4chan weeds out only the most stupid and hateful people on the internet by intentionally cultivating as hateful and insane an environment as possible to filter out "normies." Only the most abusive people survive on 4chan.

The worst trolls on the internet called 4chan home, and trolled each other into believing increasingly hateful and extreme beliefs until they forgot they were trolling completely: they have become completely deranged hell clowns. And this base of self-radical hell clowns is what truly rules the asshole of the internet.

The Republican party is based on the same principle. It was no surprise that the biggest assholes on the internet and the biggest assholes in America would team up and damn their souls to a death spiral of mutually reinforcing hate and delusion.

>There are paragraphs on how ****** might insert “media viruses” into American public life, which could become self-sustaining and self-replicating. These would alter mass consciousness, especially in certain groups, it says.

****** is talking about "media viruses" eh?

Isn't there a book titled "Media Virus" by Douglas Rushkoff?

https://pastebin.com/4s91qRn6

While too conceptual to be of any transformative value to the public at large, this idea goes to the heart of today’s viral efforts, and is certainly understood by those who consider themselves soldiers in the meme wars. Biological viruses are only successful when they are able to turn their host cells into manufacturing plants for more viruses. The virus interpolates its genetic material into the DNA code of the cell, so that the cell will begin reproducing the virus. Eventually the cell divides or explodes, releasing many copies of the infected code. This is how a whole organism can become infected with a single virus; the code has iterated millions of times. The strategy of these Internet viral manifestos is to use the iterative potential of the computer nets to spread memes about viruses housed within units that are themselves viruses. The virus 23 strain even makes reference to chaos math and the predictions of some fractal influenced observers that the world itself will reach a critical mathematical moment of “singularity” near the turn of the millennium. The virus writer exploits a chaotic device—the computer-generated media virus—to spread the conceptual and spiritual implications of chaos mathematics.

Consider if God is a video game developer of sorts, and he is the lead developer as well as admin. He creates the server, populates it with various objects and rules and things. Oh and then creates within it a kind of sub-entity that has a sense of autonomy, a kind of consciousness, that somewhat mirrors his own despite he being outside yet inside the server. For you see, if he then manually creates a character, interacts with people for a while, and then leaves after giving them the answers to winning his own game (after creating the villian too, of course), while keeping his hands on the console to conduct game-breaking miracles as he deems fit -- would this God be simultaneously be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?

I got really bad grades back in undergraduate and I’ve always felt like I’ll have to go and get a doctorate or at least a master’s one day to overwrite this major life error. My career ambitions don’t even necessitate any degree at all. Why is my thinking so flawed? I know this is illogical, but why do I think it anyway? It’s like my OCD saying I have to figure out a way correct and complete my education even though what I really wish is that I never had any education at all.

It depends on the school. Many research universities have a minimum gpa of 2.0 which is what you need basically everywhere to even have a bachelor’s degree. The individual programs might have expectations, but they’re usually fluid. They’ll admit people with things going for them other than grades. The options really aren’t as limited as you think.

The way it works is that most universities have a graduate school, which has a minimum GPA (usually a 2.0 or 2.5) and then the programs have their own criteria. So say a university requires 2.5 to go to graduate school, that’s a hard line 9/10 times. They’ll make exceptions but only rarely. But then the program you want at that same school will have a 3.0 minimum. That will be a hard limit maybe 7/10 times. They’ll admit people with a great GRE, great work experience, just really compelling stories or interest, whatever. I mean, schools want to fill seats. A lot of them let you redact your GPA anyway now. They don’t report it so they don’t care what you got. It really just depends on the specific school, program, and applicant, but they have an incentive to admit people.

St. Thomas says that something that is eternal or infinite is inconceivable and therefore not true. But, is it not equally inconceivable to think of a limited universe, for example? Infinite space is definitely something I can not begin to properly imagine, but limited space becomes inconceivable the moment I try to postulate the boundaries of space. Where are they and what is on the other side? Nothing? But "nothing" is inconceivable.
Why can't god be inconceivable, or conceivable only to us as he presents himself, like in types of pantheism?

I've been a super user of the internet since 1997.
I have not only been a computer nerd but I have done many other things offline.
I have been an obsessive learner all my life. My father had a Master's in cultural anthropology and a library of 12 bookshelves he read. He was agnostic and our family religion is learning and the pursuit of truth. I was given the most awesome set of values I possibly could have, which in turn were nourished by my communities, teachers, and influences through my whole life.
I am an obsessive learner not because I want to be "smart" but because learning about wonderful and beautiful things allows you to appreciate and participate them so much more deeply.
I have made many friendships with professional people who were likewise addicted to learning and aspired towards the highest intellectual and moral values they could aspire towards.
The losers here who keep themselves losers by choosing cowardice and arrogance over courage and humility have NO CLUE what true values are, what it's like to be blessed by them, and what it's like to try to live as faithfully to them as one can. The sick manchildren here are functional nihilists: they have an absolute poverty of meaningful, loving, creative experiences in their life, so they don't know what they lack. They only know what they hate: those who have what they do not.

when I was 19 I went on a 1000 mile solo bicycle tour up the coast of California. This was before smartphones, I used paper maps. I did this because I love cycling and nature, and this was the ultimate experience of both for me.
Back then I was a lifestyle cyclist, I never stopped loving cycling from childhood. I was fit as fuck, and had conditioned myself to not only be able to survive cycling in 108 degree heat, but to enjoy it.

I live in Olympia, Washington now.
I moved here because the temperate rainforests here are the most beautiful environments to me, and also it isn't overrun by conservatives.
Right behind my backyard is a wetland nature reserve with a loop trail.

Here's some video clips of this nature reserve I took mixed with video clips showing my mineral collection: https://vimeo.com/563950668

The purpose of the video is to contrast two modes of natural appreciation: inwards looking at a discrete object-in-itself, and outwards looking at the surrounding environment.

My religion is the appreciation and study of natural and human beauty. This religion has led to me falling completely in love with The Cosmos, life, and humanity.

Carl Sagan was my spiritual teacher; I had an absolute obsession for amateur astronomy when I was a teenager, built my own 10" Dobsonian telescope, poured through books and magazines, even took summer classes on astronomy when I was 16 and got student of the year award because I loved the shit so much.

Between 2007-2010 I built a content creation business in Second Life that made $7500 a month at my peak. True story: https://npirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/next-big-thing-in-virtual-worlds-that.html

I did this because I have loved creative experience as much as learning and love experimenting with art and imagination. I was naturally drawn to Second Life because it was such an incredible creative experiment: a virtual world filled with creative tools to explore and experiment with. And so I did, and had a blast, and got so good that in a short period of time it grew into a business in a very competitive environment filled with very creative people.

It was also before New Atheism when Dawkins only wrote about evolutionary biology. I read this book following a passion for biology and evolutionary biology. His concept of meme inspired me because it suggested that the same creative processes behind biological life may be behind cultural and mental life.

They’d laugh at me for certain, and you guys might only half laugh at me.

Day ends and so our day begins.
Cast aside your beds, tired wanderers!
Alone and forgotten, but conjoined by solitude.
Awaken, night shift! Awaken, back watch!
These are the hours where we can hide.
This dark is our sunrise, these outcasts our kin.
See the addict. Her skeleton staggering.
See the fisherman. He kills with patience.
See the drivers. Their destinations a mystery.
See the spiders. The moon reveals their kingdoms.
See the gas station. Beacons of consciousness.
See the man watching. Question his motives.
This is the age of overwhelming quiet,
disturb not our forced insomnia.
Forgive the dreamers, for they know not how you suffer.
Pity the dreamers, for they know nothing of the stars.
Arise, outcasts! This is your half of the world.
You are not alone in the dark.

It's all not you, but social media too. I have a niece I remember a lot about from infancy to when she was 25, entirely from visits to the family home of my sister, and those of her relatives by marriage, mostly on holidays. With one exception. A picture or her on beach in North Carolina, with a wave breaking onto her, feeling and looking silly. Most of my family is pretty good at banter, the record of which, like play, as opposed to work, is unofficial and private, and completely useless even as a mine of fiction.

Maybe that's just because you're tall, physically potent, and not only don't look the part, but are better suited by temperament to a life more physically challenging than the one you're apparently born to. Of course there's more to it than that: Most people are kind of awed by memory that just happens without effort, as they are by beautiful voices. They may have contempt or the man, maybe even his mind, but not ever his imagination.

Yesterday, when 4chan fell, I thought to myself that there was no one else to go. That a big part of my life was simply over. That there was no other way but through here. I said to myself, wrote in my journal even:
>Honestly... it's over.
And yeah. Most of my entertainment comes from here. My book recommendations, my movie recommendations, my vydia recommendations. I have no reddit account. No facebook account. Instagram to follow meme pages. And that's it. Nothing else. Probably a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket. Where'd you go if 4chan was TRULY over. As in, hiro says it's going to close on monday, monday comes and it really closes. Sunday comes and it's still closed. One week pass... one month pass... one year... what'd you do?

Who am I? Who am I really? Who is it that does the things I hate, myself or some other person? Who have I burdened or hurt without knowing it? Who else will be burdened or hurt through my actions before my time is over? Who could love me if they knew the truth about me?
How many chances do I have left before it's too late? How long do I have left to try to win the war with myself? How did I sink this low? How much further will I lower myself before it ends? How can I change? How do I allow myself to pursue opportunities, to dream of things and have goals, to take pleasant walks in the afternoon when what I have done is so foul? How did it come to this?
What did I expect? What do I really want? What can I do now that it's over? What is the purpose for which I was instantiated, for which I was born at this specific time in this specific place? What meaning or value is there in a corrupt person like me? What do I have to live for? What am I waiting for? What do I think I can do now if I've done so much wrong before?
Why? Why did I do this? Why didn't I stop myself? Why didn't I think? Why did I let myself stoop so low? Why couldn't I simply have been struck dead on the spot? Why do I keep living? Why didn't I kill myself a long time ago? Why can't everyone just give up on me already? Why do I keep hurting the people I love the most? Why was I born? Why?

Columbine is an enigma to me and I have a morbid fascination with it

I was3 when it happened but the world before it seems so familiar

I wish I could have seen America before the fear mongering Orwellian surveillance state and how high school was back then. When I graduated in 2015 it would be unheard of of going outside to smoke or go get something to eat from McDonalds. We would vape in the bathrooms and someone who goes to my high school told me they have vape detectors now. Another school near me doesn't allow plastic bottles anymore that aren't see through and only water is allowed.

Conscious agency is merely the practice of intentional methodological reasoning about one's actions and behavior.
The process trains this methodology at the most purified and fundamental level.
It's literally evolutionary cognitive behavioral therapy.

Of course this process is merely about maximizing your effectiveness to translate your will into action. Love and goodness is much more difficult; that cannot be commanded or programmed, only inspired by love and beauty.

Oh my dear Anon, my Anon, if only you understood what has government done to our money. If I still may, for while I can only describe it in brief now, it will always remain forever too late, and out of our hands, for the damage done, the cat out of the bag, and not just any bag, but out of Pandora's Box.

What they have done is this. Suppose people traded coconuts around as currency, you know, a kind of medium of exchange and a store of value. People would quickly discover that coconuts are rather burdensome things, and are quite too heavy to carry too many in your pockets, if you can even carry just one. So what people would do, is have one coconut ticket be equivalent to one coconut redeemable at a coconut bank, as regulated by the central coconut reserve, responsible for the regulatory oversight of all coconut economic activity.

Nice and easy enough in our little coconut economy. And ordinarily too, if someone were to try to redeem a coconut ticket without the actual coconut to represent it in their coconut bank account, then wouldn't you consider that to be coconut fraud? Hold that thought. Because what if, the central coconut reserve determined that if they were to simply print more coconut tickets to loan out than total-coconuts-in-circulation, they can produce more economic activity. Oh, I didn't mention the coconut lending earlier, did I? Yes, well, coconut banks are in the business of lending, and well, if they had more coconuts to lend, they would also have more coconut profits.

Anyway, back to the central coconut reserve, which finds great success in circulating more coconut tickets than total coconuts. Nobody notices a thing, and economic activity begins to grow exponentially, much to everyone's delight. Except the actual coconut users at the bottom of the coconut tree of course, who now finds, as a result of more coconuts-in-circulation than coconut tickets, that they would have to render slightly more coconut tickets over time to purchase goods and services. No matter, they can afford it for now.

Onwards to a brave new coconut world. The central coconut reserve thinks to itself, hmm, why bother at all with coconut tickets redeemable for coconuts? In fact, it would cause an utterly disastrous string of coconut bank failures if everyone simultaneously redeems all the coconuts at once, because the coconut banks simply do not have the coconuts on hand anymore -- the banks have begun a practice called fractional reserve coconut banking, a system that permits them to loan out much more coconuts than they actually have, precisely assuming that at any given time nobody would redeem all the coconuts at once. So as a preventative measure, the central coconut reserve outlaws redeemable coconuts altogether, and coconut tickets in general are entirely on the faith and credit of the central coconut reserve.

In this way, they would continue printing coconut tickets to their heart contents, robbing islanders blind via coconut inflation.

To make the all encompassing assessment that I am actually a midwit contorting past my innate (underdeveloped) faculty for reasoning and analysis, and longing for a height that was already decided to be beyond my reach, is very simplistic.

I had a firmer grasp on my cognition in the past. Now it's as if I'm barely coaxing it out of slumber. With mulish resistance, the thing strays past convention, the unyielding conditioning of scientific methodology, and just wanders down avenues that aren't even that pleasant. It's one thing to drop your work just so you could daydream about sunbathing in Cancun. It's another when you can barely carry a thread of thought to its fruition because your head is just FUCKING ADAMANT on marinating in melancholia.

I read stories about people who would overwork themselves to escape the misery of mundanity. My brain won't give me such luxury. It just dwells, and dwells, and dwells. For the love of fucks.

Hmm, I see. Yea saying witty self-depreciating remarks out loud to others can sometimes be overkill and cringe, ever since self-hate has become meta in the social zeitgeist it’s almost always been just a form at garnering sympathy. But we all do it (myself included). Also I relate to changing my confidence levels when around certain crowds and what not. I think that’s also a natural social phenomenon, almost like code-switching if you’ve heard of it. It happens alot in female spaces too. You seem pretty self-aware but not to the extent that you’re ignorant and crass. I would suggest trying to care less about how others perceive you, I’ve been trying to work on this myself too.

I've gone the route of caring less how people perceive me. The problem is that I just end up saying even less. Cause that's what I prefer (sort of but not actually*) and now I have a label of being the quiet guy when I hate being seen like that.

*When I look back at days where I could say little and days where I socialized a lot (with colleagues) the days where I socialized I had a much better time.
However I revert back to not wanting so speak often. Mostly it's because I don't like starting conversations. I'm okay responding, it's the breaking the ice that makes me not want to bother.

I saw a women who I vaguely agreed to message about something trivial and decided not to two weeks later at the same bar. she ignored me the whole night and talked to different guys in my face while blatantly ignoring my attempts (before I realized what she was doing) to talk to her. I was talking to her friends who I've known for longer so it was obvious she was doing this on purpose. anyway I realized how dumb this strategy was. Yeah she wants to appear desirable and valuable in my eyes but it really has the opposite effect and the whole reason I didn't even want to message her was exactly this behavior. Every girl who is a 'socialite' or more accurately an alcoholic like this.

In spite of my love for him, I cannot get past my frustration for him having given birth to a child. Not to go full Ligotti but I consider the realities of life as a human and cannot even fathom wanting to put in the serious amount of personal investment to make absolutely certain that my child lives to see all the horrors life has to offer in abundance.

Maybe the problem is that you aren't around people who are stimulating enough for you to want to engage in conversation. Sometimes I take the "observer" role too in a social interaction and end up just dissociating because I feel disconnected from the people I'm hanging out with. It sounds like you might suffer from the same thing. Why do you dislike being labeled as the "quiet guy". How do you feel that it misrepresents you?
Regardless, you aren't a betabitch for staying quiet, its just a matter of circumstance. People personalities are fluid which is why stuff like the Meyers-Briggs is retarded imo. If you feel you are a "chad" (whatever that means), feel confident in your looks, your stature, yourself all in all, that is most important.

>Why do you dislike being labeled as the "quiet guy". How do you feel that it misrepresents you?
Because in my view someone who says little might as well have no personality.
What do you say about someone who says little? My nightmare would be dying young and then my parents hearing that the people I work with, the people I went to school with (18 and up, was not quiet younger than that) that all they know me for is that I didn't say much.
Other people would have either been the clown, the hardass, the slacker etc. I'd rather be one of those than the silent type.
Maybe I'm giving myself a hard time but that's what makes me dislike the label 'quiet'.

People say that suffering teaches, but I have no idea what I learned from never having a proper family, I have never even seen my mom and dad be in the same room. That it was bad, scary and humiliating? I could have told you all of that without having experienced it for myself. Randomly seeing a father play with his son or a mom and a dad both hunched over their child with a smile on their faces, It all just sends a jolt of pain throughout my whole body. I can't explain the feeling outside of an ominous notion that something is missing. I wish It would have never happened to me or to anyone, which is why I plan on not having children out of fear they might suffer the same fate. This adversity has not made me stronger or tought me anything although people seem to believe It should have. I wish things were otherwise, but It's all too late now...

Damn. She brought up the one question I dreaded from our first meeting. It was only a matter of time before she asked me something serious.
“Have you ever been happy?”
How do I explain it properly to her without scaring her and making it seem as though I truly am insane beyond comprehension? I don’t believe that happiness is anything more than instant gratification intensified into a release of brain chemicals? “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” is all I can think. What a crock.
“Happy?” I laugh, “define happy.”
“Do you think life is good?”
“Always,” I said sharply. I meant it, and still mean it. Even through the endless downpour of shit that I constantly drown in. After being betrayed, abused, and even nearly killed by those I’ve allowed to get near, life is good. Life goes against the natural disorder of the universe.
“Relax, honey.”

Last night I actually hallucinated. Second time I’ve noticed it. Following the highway lanes in the middle of the night to the airport, the shadows began to shift. A silhouette in the trees, a face from the lights. The street lamps would form mountains and the ground would move ever so slightly. I closed my eyes, I’ve practiced this a lot. Some brief moments of forced REM sleep caused by my eyes relaxing and moving. No panic, no fear of crashing. I never leave the lane and can watch for cars in this state.

My advice would pick up a large anthology of your medium of choice. I think poetry and short stories are a good place to start only because they’re as long of a commitment as longer creative writing. I would just srtsrt reading through them. Every morning, read a few short stories or a few poems. And every night sit down and don’t let yourself get up until you’ve finished a short story a poem. Accept that they’ll be bad and it will be frustrating probably for a long time, but if you’re consistent you’ll get better. Since poetry can be a bit more difficult to understand, I would recommend Mary Oliver’s Handbook if poetry is what you want to write. As for short stories, you can find all the basics of short story structure and the like with a simple good search. That’s basically what I would recommend.

If I had read this about one month ago I wouldn't have believed it. I actually had a talk with such women at work about the exact statement you're making and their thought process is downright retarded.
Basically they think men 'don't care' about such things. As in flirting with a man in front of the man you just had intense eye contact and a talk with in the same night don't even register as a bad move towards the first guy in their head. I was the only man in the room when the discussion came and it's so fucking retarded I had to sit down and make TWO people repeat what was being said to make sure. They literally can't understand why men would find such women repulsive and a waste of time.

It's the same thing about bodycount now that I think about it, but this isn't the subject. As you said at the end of the day you gotta avoid alcoholic niggers. Sometimes it's baffling how alien women can be.

There in the center of the dark room was Zel standing as he was, still, looking at nothing, portraying no fear or concern or love or joy or sadness. His eyes never moved but no matter whereto did Sem they seemed to be pointed somewhere besides at her.
As much as Sem was in her body, in her fingers and feet, and at the tip of the nose that itself shifted contracted and relaxed according to herself, and in the air in her lungs and in the house of her eyes, she was in Zel or at Zel with her body; for as Zel appeared to retreat, so did she move towards him to mitigate his smallness, and as he lurched at her, so did she bend and hug the walls to accommodate his largeness. But she could never touch him.
Indeed she stood before him and mirrored his uprightness and placidity and gazeless gaze. But her sweat and heartbeat told her she was not him and this collapse was panic itself, for she leapt away and turned away and fell away and closed her eyes but if she did not see him she felt him. And though groveling and fearful, father war shall reshape her countenance and turn her back again so that she might dance at him and challenge him, but he is unperturbed and she sits silently stilly and sunken at his feet and looks at his feet. In this silence she sees him but can learn nothing about him, thus she turns herself back onto herself to feel and see each detail of herself. And yet though she fancies herself like him, she is made of particles which cannot be found in him, for no particles can be found in him. Though he stands there he is not a body but a looming form. If time could find an answer she would not stand up again before him to make herself like him again and to be burned by her own heart again. For she cannot escape him.
