My coworker and I discussed how much we hate black people today. God I love her. Also I’m developing a hydrocele.

>>22882093
This is what I get for fucking phone posting cuz no one made a new thread I apologize everyone

> focusing on hating other races
> not focus on the qualities of one's own race
> Yeahh being a white pleb is le heck in based, we are good goys we don't commit crime and we aren't violent because we're white

I guess you’re young and haven’t seen the I hate black guys and would never…some of those end up hooking up with black guys. Sexuality and psychology play out in strange ways

since i started eating beef everyday, i think my face looks more taurine, sort of broader, eyes more well set. then i noticed people who eat a lot of tinned fish have sort of fishy faces, narrow, eyes seem farther apart. china are the biggest pork-consumers in the world, don't you think they resemble pigs a little?
i even think i can see chickpeas & plants in vegans.

of course that's ridiculous.

I don't need to wageslave less, I need to wageslave the fuck more.

>>22882112
She’s older and Im married but I love her face so Id say so.

>>22882143
sadly this is the wagie way

I thought I was a paleo conservative. Until I realized that I'm of mixed origin- a euromutt. What's the point of fighting for a cause that already lost at birth? I am part of the problem.

Any of you anon just keep hitting update and refresh hoping (you)s or new interesting posts bc I can't stop. I really think I'm developing a problem. not even joking.

Projection.

Are you prepared for WW3, and will you draft?

Surely there are a few women left in my country who reached the age of adulthood without becoming part of the instagram-selfie-travel-blog-foodie-say-a-goofy-line-on-first-match-or-blocked-guys-6-foot-and-6-figures-only-all-lowercase-twitter-casual-sex-every-weekend Borg cube?

>>22882270
I used to think that if WW3 happens I would die from nuclear fallout 15 minutes after it started. Now I feel that WW3 started in Feb 2022 and we are in this calm before the storm moment.

>and will you draft?
I used to think I'd jump the border in the case of a draft. But I don't know if I'm brave enough to. We'll find out if it ever happens I guess.

>>22882300
I think dying in combat would be good way to go.

>>22882300
Not that I'm not brave enough, I'm too arrogant to fight in a war without being at command myself. I find humiliation in receiving gifts from my equals or inferiors so even if the recompense was glory and spoils I'd probably refuse to join the battle.

>>22882172
Same, I do it because I can’t stand the constant noise in my home.

>>22882310
Maybe for a cause I actually believed in. But dying so that the shareholders of Lockheed Martin can make a few more bucks? Nah. I resent American foreign policy, it has done great harm to the world. I have no desire to help it linger on for a little while more.

>>22882339
I mean what's alternative during a draft? Jailtime? No thanks. I'll take the honorable death.

>>22882310
robert graves said it's a 'sad death for a poet'

How do I tell my 28 year old brother that he's too young to watch Netflix

It's not that i failed at everything because I was lazy but it's that I'm not special at all. So avoiding hard work (along with the natural predilection for comfort) was my way of ignoring the harsh realty.

She did wipe properly. I saw some turd.

>>22882393
I get what you mean. I have a 25 year old coke addict friend and he's already too old for sex. Poor fuck needs a viagra just to appreciate a sunset

The idea of "culture poisoning" appeals to me. I truly don't believe I am responsible for most of my vices. I live in a cultural environment that elicits the absolute worst from people.

Your chances of just losing your legs, arms, balls and eyes is much higher than actually losing your life. So don't be in such a hurry to run into that battlefield.

My teacher owes me money and now I think he's avoiding me

>>22882442

I think I would shoot myself then

>>22882493
With what arms?

>>22882500
Suicide by cop then

>>22882404
I'm only 27 and I fall asleep after sex. It tires me out more than the gym or swimming.

Ever know a single person who celebrated kwanza?

I was never truly happy in my life with friends. I can distinctly remember not feeling at peace or ease anywhere EXCEPT the few times I hung out or did nothing with flirts or girlfriends. For me, true contentment only came in the arms of beautiful women.

Also, I hate faggots

Transgenderism is the end result of Western Faustianism.

I am a pacifist not because I truly believe in pacifism, but rather because if I allowed myself to use violence I would condone and commit unspeakable acts. I wouldn't be able to stop myself.

>>22882568
Bullshit, people would have to read/experience Faust in some form. If Goethe's to blame at all, it's because of his epigrams about anal

>>22882581
>Faust wasn't Faustian until he was aware of his own existence
This is how stupid you sound.

>>22882417
Granted, I also fully agree with Nietzche in his critique of the notion of personal responsibility. Guilt is a legalistic invention , a form of psychological manipulation. Even the most bestial of wrongdoers never "signed up" to be capable of such acts, nor are they necessarily culpable for lacking the executive functioning --- (a physiological property akin to the quality of one's heart or lungs) which may cause them to behave impulsiveness. Since no one ever volunteered to be subject of "impulsivity", it was never a voluntary act of will, therefore any misbehavior one might conduct occurs under the aspect of one's status as a physical object, rather than as an agentive subject.

I need Jesus in my life

>>22882592
Culpability is a purely social phenomenon, but all social subjects are objects of force. Therefore the legitimacy of law dissolves other than in purely behavioristic, (behavior regulating) terms. Is the dog really guilty for getting into the trash?

>>22882587
Faust literally became a hit because both Marlowe and Goethe picked up the same compilation pamphlet, so, yes, that is what happened.

>>22882500
I'm pretty sure I'll still have one arm

>>22882520
one time I had sex and my abs were sore as fuck and I kept wondering why and I realized that while I was plowing this chick I had to hold myself up with my arms and thrust for like ten minutes straight and I wasn't used to that so that was probably why.

>>22882648
Lol let’s not get too cocky now, lettuce be reality, both your arms would be gone

I fear the reaper.

>>22882651
If both my arms are gone I'd probably bleed to death.

>>22882393
I get what youre doing and you even blame someone else. Youre a creep.

>>22882093
>Write What's On Your Name
Heh, I hate to break it to you, but it looks like you made a mistake typing your post. You said "Name," but I think you meant to say "Mind." It happens to the best of us, but now that I've noticed, I'm afraid I won't be able to focus on anything else. Please, try again tomorrow—or wait a day or two longer—and hopefully nobody will even remember that you messed up this badly. The two words aren't even similar. If this is something that happens to you a lot (I wouldn't know, because I normally don't pay attention to these threads) I'd recommend an appointment with a neurologist who can make sure your MIND is functioning properly. Anyway, that's all that's on my "name" today. Thanks for the laugh!

Crazy how I immediately assume people won't be dating for long whenever I'm told someone is in a relationship. like a voice in my head immediately pops up and say "okay, well I guess we'll see that in a year or two, best case scenario." or shit like that. I keep quiet but I'm blackpilled now because of you fuckers

i'm living in the same world as when i was a child. really nothing has changed. it's almost 3am on a windy night right now.

i'm remembering staying at my grandmas house in wales when we visited, not being able to sleep, the wind outside, the quiet inside, the lampshade and the carpet and the curtains. its just as real to me as all this is.

all the people have changed but the sound of the winds the same.

>>22882720
Well, bless your vigilant soul for catching that typo, but I must say, my dear literary detective, there's no need to unleash the hounds just yet. You see, my mind is as sharp as a freshly honed quill, and I did indeed intend to scrawl "Name" across the Subject heading of this post. It's a peculiar request, I grant you that, but let's not embark on a wild goose chase into the realms of Freudian slips and neurological mishaps. Now, I appreciate the concern for my mental well-being, but rest assured, my cognitive faculties are in tip-top condition. No need for a neurologist's intervention; my synapses are firing in harmony, orchestrating the symphony of thought with unparalleled finesse. As for the subtle insinuation that my blunder is a recurring theme, I assure you, this is an isolated incident. The cosmic dance of words sometimes leads us astray, and in this particular waltz, "Name" took center stage. It happens to the best of us, like a misplaced comma in the grand tapestry of linguistic expression. So, let's not dwell on this momentary lapse. Tomorrow's sun will rise, casting its forgiving glow upon the digital landscape of /lit/, and the memory of my lexical fumble will fade into the recesses of the collective consciousness. Until then, let's savor the irony, embrace the imperfections, and revel in the whimsy that threads like these bring to our literary pursuits. Your laughter, dear interlocutor, is the sweetest ink to this textual escapade. Cheers to the capricious dance of words!

Why do anons delete their posts?

Also, any anons ever see their posts on r/4chan?

I always go over there hoping some took a screenshot of my posts but I guess I'm not cool enough yet. Although one time one of my replies did make it on there and it make some redditors laugh. Haha that made me so happy that redditors found me funny. haha.

I lent some woman some money and she has been ducking me. It's only 150 bucks, but I wanted that money for cig cartons and a Nabokov LoA volume.

Sometimes I think I've became cynic too much early in life.

>never said a word to her all semester, never saw her again
I explained this and showed the letter to my therapist and it was the only time she ever got pissed at me, despite knowing full well how scared I am of women.

Any recs on the hist of India?

I'll crawl on my hands and knees and wade through filth and scrape my palms on broken glass and stumble through sharp thorns on dark nights and fall from great heights and burn the skin from my shoulders and my elbows will dislocate and my ribs will crack and I'll wheeze and cough blood and I'll slam into a sharp rock and break my ankles and I'll walk on, through icy-cold streams trembling with frost and uncertain footing which dashes me against stone and the hunting grounds of great leering dark animals all teeth and claw and waist-deep snow and mud black as pitch and sheer high rock faces which split the nails off my fingers and rip gouges in my arms and heave myself at last to perch without support at the peak torn and shuddering, and my hope is that there will be some white pure clear thing awaiting me thence which will make all that came before worth it.

Why did the capitalism thread get nuked?

>>22883422
The government spent lots on the military, as well as on other favors and subsidies for big business.
The rich, and the corporations they owned, paid low taxes.
The government had to borrow the money it hadn't raised from taxes...
and pay interest.
All the borrowing made the Fed nervous about inflation, so it kept interest rates artificially high, so the government paid more interest.
Meanwhile, ordinary people paid high 1970s taxes, plus some extra.
The government "couldn't afford" to spend much on them...
While high interest rates kept unemployment high and wages low.
People saved less and borrowed more ...
and paid artificially high interest on car loans, mortgages, business loans, school loans, and credit card debt.

>>22883447

I was fired from a job for the first time in my life today which sucks. I admit that I wasn’t really giving it 100% but who would for $11/hr? His main complaint seemed to be that I was wasting food, I was a cook, which is almost inevitable in my opinion given the slowness of my station and the levels of stock which I have to keep it at in case there was a party or something. The place I worked at was more prone to random bursts of activity than any other restaurant I’ve worked at before. Given the erratic nature of the customer base and the stringent requirements for getting food out on time I feel like I was kind of set up for failure. Not to mention that my “training” at the joint amounted to 30 minutes on the first day and a couple of recipes, some of which I later learned were just dead wrong, jotted down on the back of an envelope. I have the sneaking suspicion that he never intended to keep me on in the first place and only hired me to help out the rest of the line during the holidays which I was told was their busiest time of the year. I feel like the man wanted nothing less of me than clairvoyance with his incessant cries to make every last scrap of use and at the same time to make sure that everything stayed at perfect levels of freshness. (The man would get mad if a half container of shrimp was left in the line cooler for 3 days) Speaking with an acquaintance who knew the man I learned that he is deeply indebted to every food supplier in our area and is constantly on the hunt for a vendor with which he does not already have a line of credit. In a way I pity the man, I suppose it makes sense now that he would be outraged at a level of waste which any other restaurant that I’ve worked for in the past would have found normal, especially for the standard of food which he claimed to serve. The man was having me make shrimp scampi without a thickening agent for the sauce and was bloodshot eyes mad that melted butter and wine didn’t have the consistency of a rich Alfredo sauce. What a lunatic.

It is only the obvious things that are never seen; and a thing is often counted stale merely because men have been staring at it so long without seeing it. There is nothing harder to bring within a small and clear compass than generalisations about history, or even about humanity. But there is one especially evident and yet elusive in this matter of happiness. When men pause in the pursuit of happiness, seriously to picture happiness, they have always made what may be called a "primitive" picture. Men rush towards complexity; but they yearn towards simplicity. They try to be kings; but they dream of being shepherds. This is equally true whether they look back to a Golden Age or look forward to the most modern Utopia. The Golden Age is always imagined as an age free from the curse of gold. The perfect civilisation of the future is always something which many would call the higher savagery; and is conceived in the spirit that spoke of "Civilisation, its Cause and Cure." Whether it is Arcadia of the past or Utopia of the future, it is always something simpler than the present. From the Greek or Roman poet yearning for the peace of pastoral life to the last sociologist explaining the ideal social life, this sense of a return and a resolution into elemental things is apparent. The pipe of the shepherd is always something rather plainer than the lyre of the poet; and the ideal social life is some more or less subtle form of the simple life.

I'm always at my saddest in December, my birthday, my grandad's birthday, and new years haunt this season for me.

>my birthday, my grandad's birthday, and new years
those are three nice things

>>22883913
haunt?

>>22883961
My youth is slipping away, my grandfather doesn't have many years left/lives in another continent so I can't see him and the new year just reinforces both of those facts along with reminding me that I wasted another year of my finite lifespan.

I'd like to share something. A couple of days ago, I went to a building that my family is selling; whilst rummaging through the old stuff I found these books. The titles are:
>The Crisis of Liberalism and the First Manifestations of the Socialist Ideas in Portugal
>French Language Grammar (in Portuguese)
>Repeater of Natural Sciences and Brief Notion of Natural History in Brazil
I myself think these are neat finds; and although I don't know a thing about French, I might start learning after this.

>>22884095
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're Brazilian.

>>22884101
A good guess, but no. I'm actually Portuguese.

>>22884104
Basically the same thing.

>>22884128
Funny joke, from funny man. It's as equivalent as the French and Algerians being the same; or the English and South-africans.

>>22884140
They speak Brazilian Portuguese, you speak regular Portuguese, that's close enough for me.

Been riding the same $80 folding kickscooter for over a decade.
I love it. It's fun, it's practical, it fills my heart with happyness and joy.
Thing is, since Ii have the money I have been eyeing a $1000 folding kickbike.
It would basically be a upgrade in nearly every way.
But oddly enough after spending so long with the same scooter it kind of feels disloyal when my current one still functions fine and will probably be able to go another 10 years just fine.

I know it's dumb but it's what's on my mind.

Why does Satan keep getting Ws while I Ls?

This morning, I read 'Snowy Day' a short story and an interview with the author, Lee Chang-dong. (Both in the New Yorker.)
Then I walk outside, I take a longer route. It had snowed again in the night. I listen to Arvo Pärt. The snow makes crunching sounds under my shoes. I go get groceries. I walk home.

Only now do I realize I was in pleasant a haze, a cocoon--it's burst and gone.
I can't recreate it for another day, because meta-awareness ruins it.
It's one of those things that happens of its own.

My old boss was a functioning alcoholic. He would miss work because he was too drunk or drink before we closed then drive home sloshed. Alcohol isn't good for you, it is literally poison, but you shouldn't focus on what other people pay attention to because they likely aren't focusing on you.

waste of time should have made a movie. it's like when some good electronic producer doesn't drop an album for like five years because they're doing the soundtrack for some lame movie everyone already forgot.

tp season 3 was much better than most of his films and great in general

There's an online publication that's a big fan of me as a writer; it's published multiple short stories and poems of mine. Just the other day I discovered each entry on the site has a comment section, and I went to check some of the comments on some of the things of mine they've published.

It was a nice little ego boost because everybody was positive. I even saw someone say that I have "enviable skill as a writer."

Maybe I am going to make it.

TP S3 was entirely out of tone with the rest of the series. Feels like he took a shit on the fans of the show and we were supposed to run with it because it’s le David Lynch and he like knows better than us what we want bro.

same but it's all my fault which makes me hate it even more.

I have a hard time appreciating just how much time has passed.

i could barely talk to women in college but i don't even have the excuse that my dad raped me. finally one year i tried to get laid really hard and i had a one night stand with some chick who was cheating on her bf. my whole life has been a waste of time.

There was this comic in which an ugly guy brings a friend to his house and then they have a laugh together and he moves closer to her face to kiss and she recoils in horror and he notices this in a millisec and apologizes. Does anyone know which comic series it's from?

>>22883091
A writing class with group review really is one of those rare opportunities to more intimately show yourself and potentially connect to a girl if you are the type who never really approaches or attempts to seduce women. I had a very similar experience in a mandatory freshman writing course. I also failed to make anything of it but don't have an excuse as legit as sexual abuse.

>>22885429
have you tried fully embracing and owning your hatred and outwardly projecting it?

I post way less on /his/ and /lit/ than I used to. Not because I don't like history or literature, but because I've come to realize how little I know about these topics.

This is happening to me across my life, in hobbies, in politics and in work. I feel the urge to speak less and listen more.

>>22885470
what would that achieve?

>>22885510

Achieving your goal of having sex with a woman without unnecessarily forcing yourself to change your thoughts and feelings.

I derive a part of my self-image from the things I consume. I can't be a discerning reader because deep down I always doubt if my personal opinion of something has legs or I'm just a philistine always open to be manipulated. Sad but despite challenging my taste in things I don't seem to be getting any better. I guess it's not changeable.

>>22885524
he's already a virgin. none of his feelings and thoughts are appealing to women.

>>22885536
He is a virgin due to some combination of being physically unattractive and shy, not his thoughts or feelings. He will need to overcome those hurdles to sleep with some women then afterwards he can learn to hate them a little less.

If you aren't mentally strong enough to burn money, I don't respect you

do you think that sleeping with women make him hate less?

>>22885570
every day you can open up the paper and read some story about a guy who brutally murdered some chick he was fucking.

>>22885574
psycho men are hot to women. what else is new?

>>22885570
Potentially, because if he has only had negative experiences with women then some positive ones can move the balance in a more favorable direction. Of course men who sleep with women can still be hateful towards them but I believe a case such as this would benefit more from trying to find positive experiences than trying to psyop himself into a different outlook as a purely mental exercise.

>>22885586
>positive ones can move the balance in a more favorable direction
that would either require quantity or quality

What makes an abusive incel creepy and icky as opposed to an abusive partner girls normally go for? Resentment, self-loathing, not being forward?

Is there any real point trying to "explain" or "rationalize" a fetish or a kink?

I tried to do it with some of my own fetishes years ago, but lately I've come to the conclusion that there's no point in bothering. Ultimately there's no rational explanation for why we have the physical desires we do, especially when it's something outside the mainstream. It's just how your brain is wired, right? You can explain or justify it however you like, but at the end of the day it's just that your dick wants what it wants.

>>22885593
Mostly physicality and hormones and the fact that "abusive incels" are just meek guys irl

>>22885616
It doesn't hurt to rationalize why you like it, but there isn't really a reason to explain why you like. Its like explaining why you prefer mustard over ketchup.

>>22885616
you COULD rationalize it but it largely falls into unconsciousness territory therefore it requires some extreme introspection.

>>22885616
Fetishes emerge from the prolonged absence of sufficiently gratifying normal sexual experience coupled with the presence of some available substitute. Once the brain's reward mechanism kicks in and latches onto something it's off to the races.

I find long, slender necks extremely attractive. I always look at a woman's collarbone and jaw to judge their neck.

>>22885685
that doesnt explain the childhood fetishes

Visiting my very Mormon family for the holidays.
I'm gonna lose it. They have doublethink and confirmation bias down to an art. The very concept of metaphysics and philosophy eludes them and their system is designed to prevent anyone inside of it from doing philosophy in the first place.

Act ignorant beyond any doubt.

>>22885710
I'm intrigued. What is Mormon philosophy and theology?

>>22885685
I have fetishes that I've had for as long as I could remember bro. My first sexual experiences were experimenting with my innate fetishes. I often wonder what caused it, but your explanation doesnt safisfy

>>22885690

I feel more pessimistic about the prospects for life than ever after this episode. I always wavered between some sort of purpose or accomplishment on one hand or friends and family on the other hand as making life worthwhile, but now I just feel like neither of these are even possible. The former is reserved for a lucky few and as for the latter, it seems people show their true colors sooner or later. I’m not even an asocial NEET weirdo. I’m just convinced now more than ever people only ever care about themselves and are shallow.

uncerimoniously and unexpectedly rejected by a girl I went on a few dates with. at first I took it in stride, but, as the days pass, the idea that I won't get to see her or talk to her, or make her laugh ever again is beginning to weigh terribly on me.

>>22885832
I won't ever go that far but personally now I am seeing from the point of view of a tranny. I know you're not that gone like me but speaking only personally here I have zero confidence in myself at this point of time and space.

>>22885690
I find it unattractive. So weak. I could easily kill those people.

>>22885756
It has several layers. Originally it was a bunch of bullshit which Joseph Smith used to get young (sometimes underage and sometimes already-married) women to agree to become his plural wives and to get people to give him money and power. Then Brigham Young and successors added another layer of bullshit in order to build a Mormon theocracy in Utah and convince their followers that killing non-Mormons was actually way cool and what God demanded (see Mountain Meadows among others). Then once the federal government started looking at enacting Total Mormon Death the leadership decided to add another layer of bullshit and turn the whole thing into a mere crypto-Freemasonic cult designed mostly to separate believers from their time and money and route it to Mormon HQ, and this layer has persisted to this day.
In between the beginning and now a ton of insane wacky nonsense arose, like believing God made human souls through spirit sex with a female deity, Jesus and Satan are brothers, God dwells in physical form near a star called Kolob, ancient Jews crossed the Atlantic and spoke a language called Reformed Egyptian which conveniently left zero records whatsoever besides the golden plates Smith claimed to have found in 1820 and which no one ever physically saw besides him, magic underwear inscribed with Masonic symbols, alcohol, tea, and coffee being de facto sinful to consume and in fact able to block consumers from entering the highest level of Mormon Heaven, senior Mormon leaders having a special secret ceremony which guarantees them a slot in Mormon Heaven regardless of any sins they commit in life short of murder, women being eternally subservient to men in the afterlife, eternal plural marriage, and much more. The latest layer of Mormon bullshit also produced more mundane but no less awful things, like the Mormon church secretly holding over $140 billion in assets under the name of Ensign Peak Holdings (and in fact they were fined $5 million just this year for using 13 shell corporations to hide some of those assets from the federal government for 20 years), being one of the largest landowers of ranches and farms in the United States, covering up thousands of child sexual abuse cases when Mormons happened to be the perpetrators (floodlit.org), etc.
1/2

>>22885848
2/2
The anti-philosophy thing comes from the fact that the foundation of their movement is that the original Christian Church was corrupted sometime in the 5th century by "Greek philosophy," resulting in what they term the "Great Apostasy," in which all Christendom fell into an error which only Joseph Smith receiving divine revelation along with translating allegedly long-lost records of ancient Jewish Americans in the early 19th century could ameliorate. Along with this, Mormons believe the greatest proof of any idea or consideration is that one "feels the Spirit" when thinking about it, and they define "feeling the Spirit" as a vague warm feeling in the breast which can be provoked in a great variety of ways as long as one has a good understanding of social engineering. Mormons are encouraged to "doubt their doubts" and not to take counsel from non-Mormon sources lest they come to see something as true which does not promote "feeling the Spirit," such as allegations that early Mormons did in fact regularly consume and brew alcohol despite manufactured stories to the contrary or that overall Mormon activity and conversion rates are in decline. The consequences of these two factors are that Mormons by and large do not engage with and remain ignorant of philosophy beyond the sketchiest outlines, will not accept arguments that do not promote their own specific understanding of the world, and consider personal experiences in which they felt a vague warm sensation in the breast to be as valid as, if not more valid than, any amount of rational, scientific, or philosophical evidence, such as the volumes of archaeological work proving that there was never a massive Jewish-descended civilization in the Americas numbering in the millions between the 6th century BC and the 4th century AD as claimed by the Book of Mormon.

>>22885832
Who cares, dude? That girl would’ve shown you in time that they never really cared about you, not in any way more than a “what have you don’t for me lately” sort of thing. People in general don’t care about anyone but themselves, avoiding paining, and experiencing their own pleasures. Nobody is really loyal and in fact will happily ruin you if it means it can advance themselves in some way. This is true for family. It’s true for friends. Most of all, it’s true for women.

I used to be super into politics, but given how reflexive and team sports-oriented it seems to be now has led me to developing some kind of weird apathy. Nothing is ever as good or bad as it seems any more because I feel like I can't trust doomers, or people that made their mind up from the first second. The only topics that even get me excited any more are more philosophy related

>>22885855
thanks for the encouragement, but, assuming your very cynical view of the world is accurate, then it makes sense for me to be upset because I took pleasure in her company, which I am now deprived of!

Unironically you just haven’t tried hard enough. After years of analyzing my attractions I could tell you with almost 100% certainty why I like the “kinks” that I do. Be careful though, like the other Anon said it’s definitely a subconscious thing. You become acutely aware that you’re not the only thing in charge of your own head. That’s why normalfags hate Freud so much.

My favorite part of looking for a job is feeling like a writhing worm begging for a boot to puree me.

>>22885870
What passes for politics today is fundamentally ignoble, whether by design or by incidence. If you developed a distaste for politics it’s probably because you’re a noble soul and intuitively see the ugliness in it. As for political activity, I think it’s an open question whether that can be dignified or noble. I don’t know. But investment is not.

YOU KEEP SAYING IT'S 24-48 HOURS, BUT IT'S BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS! WHAT THE FUCK IS CALLING BACK ON MONDAY GOING TO DO, THAT CALLING BACK YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE DIDN'T DO?!
THE LADY I WAS TALKING TO BEFORE I WAS PUT THROUGH TO YOU SAID SHE COULD SEE THE DOCUMENT UPLOADED AS I UPLOADED IT, SO HOW THE FUCK DO YOU "NOT SEE IT"? ARE YOU ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SYSTEM? IS YOUR SYSTEM SO SHIT THAT DOCUMENTS SHOW UP ON SOME EMPLOYEE WORK SPACES BUT NOT OTHERS? OR DO YOU JUST NOT GIVE A SHIT, AND WANT TO KEEP KICKING THE CAN (ME) DOWN THE ROAD TO SOMEONE ELSE?
ALL THIS OVER $35! I MADE $35 THIS YEAR FROM DIVIDENDS AND YOU'RE MAKING ME PAY FAR MORE DEARLY FOR IT THAN IT WAS WORTH!!! I SHOULD JUST SELL ALL THE SHARES SO I CAN MAKE ZERO INCOME GOING FORWARD AND NOT HAVE PROVIDE PROOF OF IT AND KEEP FUCKING CALLING TO GET JERKED AROUND FOR TWO MONTHS FOR PROOF OF IT WHEN IT'S NEGLIGIBLE ANYWAY!!!
HOW THE FUCK IS IT THAT THE LADY WHO CAN'T DO ANYTHING IS SO MUCH MORE THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE THAN THE LADY SHE PUT ME THROUGH TO WHO CAN DO SOMETHING?! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
DO YOU KNOW HOW PATIENT I'VE BEEN? I'VE CALLED LIKE SIX OR SEVEN TIMES, AND I JUST KEEP GETTING TOLD TO CALL AGAIN, AND THE WORST I'VE EVER DONE WAS LET OUT AN EXASPERATED SIGH WHEN THE NEXT PERSON I TALKED TO SAID SHE DOESN'T SEE THE DOCUMENTS THE PREVIOUS PERSON I TALKED TO SAID SHE SAW!!!
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

Corporate world survives on the backs of those willing to let themselves be taken advantage of. If you let yourself be given shit you will be made to eat shit day in and out until you burn out and are replaced. This is why they love it when they you know you really need the job, like if you just had a newborn and a mortgage or your visa is contingent on employment. And it's all done in this smarmy passive aggressive way even though the underlying cruel reality to it rivals anything from our ape past.

>>22885891
I don’t even think I’m cynical. Most people I invested in showed me in the end that they don’t really care. Parents, friends, girlfriends. When the chips are really down, they turn tail. At most, they stick around but sort of resent you or place their own self interest first. With girls, the hardest ones to deal with are the ones you never expected to be like that. At least that’s how it’s been for me. Maybe I’ve been unlucky. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. But in my life, basically nobody has really been interested in loyalty or putting other people first. People who’s company I enjoy, I would suspect to turn out to be the most self-interested in the end. Life is funny like that and fate loves irony. The girl who is cold and disinterested probably ends up being the most loyal in the long run.

>>22886058
Things that occupy mine happened 10 and 6 years ago. I had this moment of lucidity about it thinking "I've lived so much life after those events and am an entire person, but I still imagine a fictional parallel life based on if those bad events didn't happen. Will I still be daydreaming about the alternate timeline when Im 40, married, and with children?"
In spite of this realization, its still hard to let go

>>22886080
It’s worse because 30 years ago, you couldn’t least climb the latter and be the shit shoveler instead of the shirt eater. But entry level financial analysts don’t become CFOs anymore and nobody works their way up. Then hire disgruntled investment bankers from
Harvard to be your boss because they have the right background and you’re supposed to be happy with your middle management life even if you’re the most competent person at the firm. That’s the real tragedy of corporate life. It’s not that you’re exploited. Even if you give it everything you get shafted for some trust fund retard who started their career at Goldman Sachs.

>>22886133
Nah, gay marriage is still a no-no for them, though there's a growing demographic of young Mormons who think the Mormon church should be more 'inclusive.'
A ton of Mormons were super into Trump and Qtard shit and the Mormon authorities telling people to mask up and get the vaxx didn't sit right with them. These people are a fertile ground for splinter sects and sub-groups and private meeting circles, which lead to batshit insanity like the Lori Daybell affair or the case of the Laffertys in the 80s. Most recently there was the debacle surrounding Tim Ballard (relative of late Mormon authority M. Russell Ballard) and Operation Underground Railroad, in which it was revealed that Tim kinda sorta pressured women into sex in the name of some sort of "pose as a pedo couple and get into child-selling rings" scheme gone awry, and also that Tim was receiving "intel" on possible pedo rings from a woman who was using ketamine to receive visions from the Book of Mormon prophet Nephi. The right-wing side of Mormonism presents growing pressure on the Mormon leadership to be more hardline and conservative lest these people depart for offshoot groups.
On the other hand there's a sizeable contingent of liberal Mormons who want diversity and inclusivity and LGBTWTFBBQ acceptance and for the mainline Mormon church to make more definite statements about the Mormon God's wife and allow women to be ordained and so on, which presents opposing pressure to the previous demographic and from which people generally either make peace with the way Mormonism works or snap out of it in order to become liberal democrat agnostic/atheist secular humanists and become the gay trans weed smokers they always wanted to be... or something. These people are far more vocal when they leave Mormonism and make up the bulk of who you'd find on places like the plebbit exmormon board, and a lot of their issues with Mormonism have to do with its "traditional" patriarchal structure (not that there's really anything traditional about it), its approach to social issues, and the like.
In the middle is the mainline Mormon leadership, a group of very old (early 80s at the youngest) men who are terrified of losing the people who see them as representatives of God Himself (and who are also their revenue streams). They have no desire to liberalize Mormonism (and in fact mostly grew up in a time when Mormonism was much more 'hardcore' than it is now) but also have no desire to turn it into a based trad redpilled MAGA Qanon cult or some shit; all they want is for the status quo (that is, the status quo of roughly 1980) to continue forever. They kinda suck at this but the time scales involved are just large enough for it to be hard for the average Mormon to notice. If you don't mind using >plebbit for a sec there's a good writeup about their recent-ish moves here: https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/eu5vh7/a_history_of_modern_apostasy_and_the_churchs/

Almost everything boils down to either S&M, or crossed wires.

Like seeing girls get inflated like balloons? You like seeing them restrained and humiliated.
Like seeing girls get their tits pooped on? You like seeing them humiliated.
Like seeing giant girls step on little dudes you self insert as? You like the idea of being dominated and/or hurt by women.
Like fat chicks? You see their entire body as a tit/ass.
Like feet? You see it as an ass/pussy.

These two general trains of thought explain 99% of all fetishes, if not 100%

hell ya bra i just went to banana king for a burger. i ordered a double cheeseburger right, but get this, it had two big thick soft juicy beef patties, but it also had an egg and bacon. the shit was stacked so high i had to bite into it diagonally. i had worked out my ass off last night so i was looking for some real authentic protein and it delivered big time.

i'm resentful of the pressure I received when I was 18-19, I had an underdeveloped brain, depressed, in a strage place, yet people called me old and that my time was running out when I was in fact so young.

i was doing this video production class in college and i saw myself in a scene and i looked like that asshole kid telly from the movie kids. i was like what the fuck.

I masturbated once in the back of the bus. It was at night when I was coming back from school and was extremely horny teenager, horny to the point I couldn't wait till I got home. I remember putting my jacket over some barrier, thankfully there were only 4 or so people in the bus and they were all facing front of the bus. I started jacking off while watching asian female squrting porn. The coom was fantastic, thick and lots of it. I remember after getting home having regrets that because of my moment of pleasure the bus driver had a shit day having to wash off my cum stains so I prayed away my sins to God and he forgave me, or I thought so

>>22886562
>absolute degenerate is religious

>>22886568
don't tell me you never masturbated in public. Besides in the bus, I also did it in the park, gym shower, public toilets etc., I even once did in my friend's house standing right behind him. He was sitting on his chair and I was watching him gaming like gta or something, and we were switching every 15min, and so I was watching him playing and then mindlessly put my dick out and started fondling it right behim him. Didn't cum though Didn't even get hard, I was just fondling my dick, but the thought of doing it right behind him was so funny to me

What happens in 2024 when you promise amnesty, but then tell 10,000,000 illegals the the other political party is going to deport all of them?

-There have been more than 276,000 migrant encounters in December so far
-They are releasing 5,000 illegal immigrants a day into the U.S., and that doesn’t include those being paroled in at ports of entry
-82,000 known getaways and 760,000 migrant encounters at the southern border (since Oct 1), making the first quarter of FY 24 the highest quarter on record.

10,000,000 since Biden took office. The Democrats have imported a foreign army. What do you think they'll do with it? There is absolutely no way you can convince me that there's not a dark purpose to this.

As the government has a responsibility to man, so does man have a responsibility to the government. Cicero said that mans highest calling is too enter civil service and he was correct but fell short of the mark. Every man is duty bound to be an active participant in his government be he a farmer, banker or nurse or labourer or any of the myriad professions this nation employs. And when that government becomes corrupt, serving the goals of the foreigner, man is duty bound to rebel with all of his strength, to remove that corruption with force.

Working class? they exported their sources of income, these people are no lesser; their political weapons. It makes no sense financially, none of this does. If the goal is to demographically destroy Whites in the US the GDP would crash and turn into a Latin recession.

What happens when the MARS base gets smaller and smaller? (Middle White America) what happens when the MARS even starts another country? (for whatever reason)

You lose half the tax base. What happens when the third worlders can’t even tax fund to build a school water fountain with their door dash jobs? much less a war against Russia? This is the most shortsighted, corrupt, incompetent administration in the Century.

I don't think they are shortsighted, not really. They just have the misfortune of being liberals running an empire in the days when both liberalism and said empire are dying. Biden will be remembered as the last liberal president. Conservatism or leftism will follow. Either way the center can no longer hold on.

i just checked out /r9k/. it seems to be entirely people bitching about not getting laid. that's cool, but not really what i'm looking for.

>>22886718
You assume they need taxes to operate (or really, ever needed them).

Insane false equivalence. This is radically different. The culture at that time was pretty much Anglo-chauvinist, so others were pressured to join and conform. Now it's mostly White-hating (Whites in general being the equivalent of WASPs now) so there is Balkanization, if not already. And then they cut off immigration in the 1920s, they are NOT stopping this, they even threatened Texas if they did.

Plus they were European.

Biden is not doing this btw, he’s not in charge. Let’s be real he likely hasn’t remembered what he ate for dinner yesterday.

According to that graph percentage-wise it's not different, though raw total is higher

Proof?

Pre-industrial America was so cool

why is life so difficult? how did this come of nothing and why does it hurt? I see pain in every living thing. a forever expanding force brought itself out of nowhere and we are a part of it and we all now have to eat ourselves for survival. this unnecessary suffering. reincarnation is my greatest fear. most life on earth is not worth living. having to make another form of life suffer to continue living is horrifying. why is this such a tragic condition? nothing was needed after farming. I can't stop thinking about suffering. it never had to happen. as a whole life is not worth the art, stories, and good experiences it has given. all we had to do was farm wheat, bake bread and relax. what does the future hold? this is the easiest time to live but now art is dying, replaced by ai. everything is losing worth, creation is meritless, there are already thousands of ai books and all jobs will eventually be mechanized. all media glorifies the worst. why? I'm looking for a nice happy artsy movie but all of them have some form of suffering. i think most suffering stems from the misunderstanding of primal animal instinct. most of it is cope. all of these violent films on streaming sites are people trying to face their fear head on etc. it's just terrible and depressing. everything search already has an ai doing it, stained glass for instance. it was inevitable but it's like living in a cargo cult society where nothing is of worth. the majority of all boards and forums are bots. everything is so commercial and hardly anything is made with true love or passion and even what is could be shit out by an ai or machine. we're at a point in history entirely different from all others. art is dead. it could be compared to the industrial revolution and luddites or the camera and rise of expressionism but it's completely dead. everything has become inauthentic. whens the last time you saw something normal? where are all of the nice things? why? it makes sense in the historical timeline and all is logical but why? what's the end goal? nothing will matter. zoomers are already nostalgic for a time they've never lived in, there's no identity, everything is a trend. what will this generation evolve into? they're all traumatized and suffering from psychological regression. nothing has meaning, nothing has worth, there is no culture, there is no art the best of people are diminishing and the worst are expanding. it's just not nice also can anyone rec me a comfy documentary? thank

Do you ever worry that you’ll just never achieve your literary ambitions or that the window of opportunity to build the foundation for achieving them has closed or something like this?

nice

I graduated from a pretty good school with a law degree and got a job as an attorney, but I guess I couldn’t cut it because I quit and I’ve been teaching in high schools as adjuncting at colleges ever since. I just turned 30 and I’ve been living with my mother for the last 3 years. I make enough to live on my own if I really want to, but just barely. I’ve come to realize what a giant fuck up my life is and I wonder if I should just kill myself. It’s one thing for a man to live with his mother for a year, two years even possibly to save up for a house. I’ve been here 3 years and can’t even afford a house. I have a dead end career and no major prospects in my life, career, dating, or otherwise. All I have are the kind words of my mother and these books that I read. Even if I left now, I’ll always have been the adult man who got a high flying lawyer job but ended up living with his mother into his 30s. I’m ashamed of myself and I see fewer and fewer reasons to like myself everyday.

>>22887128
Could be worse I am in similar spot but my mother has no kind words

>>22887350
You don’t get along?

I’m smart, but I’ve gotten really fat as I’ve gotten older so now I look stupid.
