I'm tired. Lonely. Uninspired. Afraid? Maybe. If I don't finish this paper, I'll fail this class. I won't receive my diploma, and I'll either have to make up the credits I'm lacking, or get a GED. I could join the military. Or kill myself. I'm poor. I wish I didn't want a lover. I wish I didn't want children. A family. Prestige. Success. It could be so much easier then.

I ducked myself out of financial aid for college by letting depression fail me out and by letting that become the excuse I convinced myself to use, like right now.

Love is the second attempt at nihilism's cure after religion fails. Once both do, you're doomed. I'm doomed.

I finally started Nietzsche. Something about his writing is charged with an emotional connection to me that I haven't felt since Kafka. Maybe that's why he's got his cock in /lit/. It's not a bad feeling then, to be fucked by Friederich.

Trying to write Multiple first person P.O.V for my novel, And I'm having trouble setting up their own voices.

A kind anon told me to give them unique quirks. Not the manic pixie girl quirks, more like, character A has crippling self-esteem issues and that's why he sometimes acts aggressively over innocuous comments. Character B had a neglectful childhood and that's why they're clingy.


I appreciate his advice, but I also want to know if its feasible for narration?

Like for example, Character A Narration is a mishmash of modern words and Archaic Words in his Narration due to him trying to overcompensate for his family poorer background compare to his peers/friends?

The soul is being sucked right out of man by electric machines and computational efficiency, man is becoming no longer a social creature but a social unit, an economic unit. His very social nature is becoming a mere economic property to be calculated and exploited. Ted Kaczinski was right. If I were able to expunge a thing from the world, it would be the principle which allows man to harness electricity for work without toil. From the outside, people seem indeed like cattle growing fat, herded by the invisible shepherd who wields economic and mechanical efficiency as a whip. There is no use for the sailor as there is no longer a purpose for his sails

Is there beauty in violence?
I think of the this a lot. It almost seems like there’s a savage appeal we humans have towards it, regardless of context. Just like any other person I don’t like the prospect of humanity being built for self destruction but what if violence was more akin to a purging of bacteria, a way to get rid of horrible ideologies and generally human scum? I like to think there is a pleasurable experience to any violent act with enough explaining

I don't know where to meet interesting women.

>> No.10831961

I've been reflecting a lot on elementary school during the past month after not giving the whole experience a single thought for years.

It's interesting, I had no friends whatsoever there. I had a few fellow pupils with whom I socialized, but that just happened because they were there, in the near vicinity. We had nothing in common, no real connection at all, and I didn't particularly enjoy spending time around them. If they disappeared overnight I wouldn't have cared at all. They weren't friends. I didn't even know what a friend is. I still don't. I've just got an idealized fantasy of the concept of friendship, no real experience.

I remember pretending to give a shit about girls and one or two girls in particular, for no real reason other than because I figured that it was expected of me. They meant nothing at all to me, no more than a random patch of pavement I walked across today. Why did I do that? Why did I pretend?

I also, naturally, remember all the abuse and humiliation. Well actually that's not entirely true: I remember some particularly humiliating episodes but in general I remember the feelings more than I remember the concrete events or who did what and when they did it and why. It's all a visceral blur more than anything else. I'm not happy about remembering this shit at all, and I'm not happy about how I feel about it right now either.

I know the right, well-adjusted thing to say/think would be that it was whatever, that it was just kids and that it doesn't matter and that everybody picked on everybody at school and it wasn't all that personal and it takes a while for empathy and self-control to develop in people and it's pathetic to hold onto these feelings and so on and so on, but that just isn't true at all for me.

>> No.10831963

>>10831961
It may have been a bit of a laugh for them, just something impulsive to do to pass the time without even giving it that much thought, kids being kids and all that, but for me it was a fucking apocalypse day in and day out(as if I didn't already have a slightly different flavor of apocalypse waiting for me at home every day). I don't want to exaggerate and say that those particular experiences were why I ended up growing up into the ruin that I am but fuck, they certainly played a very, very large part in why it happened. Realistically, the psychological damage that has been done to me is severe(and has manifested itself in irreversible physical damage over the years to boot, in a variety of ways), and I'm not sure how much of it could be undone if I tried. I'm the poster child for learned helplessness.

They killed something in me before it even got the chance to live.
I know the normal thing to do would be to move on but fuck. I want to rip their eyes out. I want them crippled for life. I want to ruin them ten times as badly as they've ruined me, and then maybe, MAYBE I could think "okay, we're even". And like I said, I don't even really remember that many concrete details or faces about the whole thing at this point. I just remember how it felt, and now I'm living with the consequences of it. It's interesting.

And yet there are anomalies. I remember this one kid in particular, who was frequently and particularly vicious towards me, and try as I might, I cannot muster a single iota of ill will towards him at this point. I don't feel any contempt regarding him at all, it's like nothing between us ever happened.

I really don't know what to make of all this.

I moved away for college and then after graduating moved somewhere else for a job. Then I realized I wasn't making enough money to pay for rent/food/debt and quit and moved home. I've been working a shitty job for about a year now, but not paying for rent or food means I've saved up a little bit. I want to move somewhere now, but I don't know where. I've been applying for jobs in several cities but I don't know really what I even want to do anymore. I just feel like I need to move to a city where there are people my age. My home is in a rural area and the only girls/women around me are either single moms or addicted to heroin. It's a beautiful area but it's insanely depressing to be here at my age. And all my friends live about 2 hours away in a super expensive city I don't like very much. The cities I imagine myself moving to are hundreds of miles away where I don't know anyone. The thought of knowing nobody is both intriguing and terrifying. I lived for 5 years away from home and had to make new friends before but now that I'm back here again I feel like I did in high school where the thought of moving away feels like moving away for the first time all over again, with all the unknowns and anxiety and excitement and anticipation and fear and everything. Only now instead of knowing I'll get to have an interesting college experience, for all I know I could just be moving somewhere to work a soul crushingly boring job. I'm worried about accepting the first job I'm offered and then quitting it after a few months and ruining my resume. My resume already looks terrible for leaving my first job after college so soon and I don't want to do that again. I wish I had a girlfriend or someone for moral and emotional support. Or really any kind of emotional support. I love my friends but they are all yuppies
in the city now and doing so much better than me. They have nice apartments and stable longterm relationships and in their mid 20s have jobs that pay more than both of my parents make combined. I don't think they even know what it's like to have anxiety about being broke or being alone. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining or like I think I'm a victim, but when I talk to them about anything about my life it's like talking to someone from a different planet.

people are vicious, would-be torturers everyone of them, there's a sadist under the skin and behind the eyes of the kindest people. Everyone is a fucking sociopath, you play sympathetic with them, give them space to be irrational, try to grant them their stupid fucking presuppositions and unjustifiable axioms, they'll just take 10 miles of territory from you if you allow them this much. Laozi says to yield to overcome, but in this stage of human history, where everyone is a vicious, self-narrativizing, narcissistic, god-complex having, over worked, under stimulated, split consciousness you can't do this anymore. yielding to people to allow space for their whole being, letting the evil come in with the good, to save them from being cut off from you completely, this only leads to being poisoned by them. They'll take advantage of the smallest of opportunities to be unkind to you. I haven't had a person go out of their way to do something I actually needed in years. My family, my friends, my lovers all abuse the trust I give them, are unbelievably self-involved, haven't the slightest interest in my internal states or ideas, basically talk to me like i'm a toy to stimulate them. I'll listen to them for hours, give genuine thoughtful responses, help them with their psychological states, drive them places, buy them food, comfort them when they're alone and hurting but it means nothing to them. I'm a tissue, a condom, a burger some fucking product for them to break in a one-time-use, they're surprised when I show consistent empathy because 99.9% of others refuse to do this. I'll humor anyone, fascists, communists, christians, fedoras whoever, and I'm never given the same respect. I try to talk to anime pedophiles about why they are the way they are, and then when I try to convince them there are other ways of being they shit on me, tell me i'm a moral fag and then ruin the discourse. I try to talk to christians and really understand their world view, and then when its time to have an actual volley with them, they try to play the advantage and act like they're already in the know, and i'm just some sick degenerate rebel with no basis for my ideas, even when I try to be lenient and not attack what they believe. Fascists do this too, communists even more so. I've talked with social libertines, social conservatives, capitalists and technocrats and all I get is the same one-sided treatment. I give them attention, try to understand them, try to find a middle ground and all they want is war, they want me to submit to them or to convert to their belief or to leave because the mere act of entertaining divergent belief insults them. I've yet to meet a person with the patience or the consistent desire to talk to be present with them, to hear them, to incorporate them into my world as myself. I was tricked, because I was not a strong person as a child, into being a crypto-altruist.

In my experience, the best way to "get a gf" is to interact in social groups that include women and make friends with women. As long as you're not an inspissated autistic pseudo-grammarian or plainly hideous eventually an intimate relationship will fructify. Fastening the idea that "I want a girlfriend" in the back of your mind is counter productive if you have trouble in that arena already.

Yeah, they're insecure as fuck and given to self harm, but there are plenty of "pretty" women who are the same way, and don't have the added bonus of reading books other than hot YA genre fiction garbage.

Of course there can be attractive, intelligent, and erudite women, but they all belong to the eternal Chad, and this is what all of my experience tells me.

Drinking is fundamental to many social situations, in the millennial generation especially. Many women lack the ability to socialize directly with men without the protective encouragement of alcohol. It's not uncommon to see the shyest girls become social butterflies as soon as they have that sex on the beach or cosmo.

Unfortunately for us TRP gym freaks that like to get a good lift and want to see a significant change in our bodies, alcohol is the ultimate destroyer. Especially, as OP pointed out, BEER.

So the battle begins of mitigating the negative physical effects of alcohol against the social stigma of not drinking at social events.

Been having some introspection on the character of my reasoning processes. Something that's struck me is how immediate most of it is. Now, when something is merely a matter of straight forward, algorithmic deduction, that's one thing. How one thing leads to another is clear and easy to understand. However that, along with specific-to-general type inductions, make up only a small amount of our practical reasoning. Most of it consists of a back and forth between making predictive models of the world and correcting for the models when there's something that doesn't fit. Reasoning to the best explanation, one may say.
And as I've said, I've realized on introspection that it's immediate. When you try to solve a riddle, you are trying to fit various interpretations onto the problem and intelligently reasoning consequences to those interpretations. And while I could always retroactively see how I got to where I got, this ability seems largely innate. Some people are just better at it than others, and trying to bring fervor into things only marginally improves how well you perform at this. At best you can only keep at it stubbornly until you figure it out and your brain has the eureka.
This applies when I try to learn a new concept ,in say physics, and try to test it against my understanding of reality. I am actively interpreting and reinterpreting the concept as I try to apply it to a larger amount of cases, and the rate at which I do this seems more or less fixed when I keep at it. Or if I'm reading and trying to analyze and/or interpret a text, the same follows. I grapple with understandings that make the most sense.
And again, it all seems immediate and like a thing I can't really improve the rate of.

This just in: the 'p' key on my keyboard doesn't work. So every time I need to type out 'p' I have to hit command v. It's particularly frustrating when I want to start a sentence with a word beginning with 'p,' so I usually resolve it by reshaping the sentence, which is actually not a bad writing exercise. Setting up constraints to increase creativity and whatnot. I've also noticed—since the death of my 'p' key—how little the 'p' is used in the English language. A quick Google searcherino led me to discover it's the 19th least used letter, just before—surprisingly—'B.' I would be capitalizing my 'p's but it's not worth the trouble.

On paper, not much has improved for me since the beginning of the new-ish year. However, my recurring explicit death fantasies have significantly subsided. While I once could easily spend over an hour in bed imagining various violent ways I could die—each more gruesome and implausible than the last—now I almost never think about it. Suicide rarely crosses my mind. That's it. And, well, I'm not totally sure why. It might have something to do with my consistent usage of St. John's Wort. Definitely hasn't hurt. It might also simply be a shift in perspective: a new though slight sense of motivation and ambition. Everything still runs on chaos, and I prolong my duties as far as possible, but demolition just seems much more foreign to me now. I don't feel like a loser. On paper, I'm still well aware that I am in fact one. But viscerally it doesn't feel that way. Which is good, I suppose. Yet, I still dread that I won't be able to live all the way up to that nebulous blimp known as "my potential." Self-doubt hasn't ended its lease on my mind, though it has been going on many more vacations.

treating Hegel's view as simple teleology is a massive disservice to his work. the dialectic is the posterior (after presuppositionless inquiry into a subject matter) inner movement of the concept as an absolute (independent and self-sufficient) postulate and finding contradiction to the absolute status, and i do not see how this applies towards fascism. to paraphrase Hegel, familiarity is the death of
the understanding.

I'm a terrible slacker and I hate it. I coast through my schoolwork with minimal effort. I have a very cushy job (unironically believe there are people here that would kill me over how flippant I am towards it) that I just don't do most of the time. I don't have anything other than vague ambitions. I don't use my immense free time productively, though I'm trying to change that. Sometimes I think about trying to be less of a deadbeat, but then I remember that I don't *really* think there's anything wrong with me. The only thing I hate is how alienated and alone I am. I desire normality, not the values that normality promotes.

I'd like to blame my depression for being like this, but I don't believe there's a meaningful difference between "mentally ill you" and "you". This is who I am, if I was different I wouldn't be me.

I really think I would be best living alone. Relationships are just not for me because my brain is just not wired to handle the power struggle and fight for dominance.

I am likely a narcissist, paranoiac and have trust issues. Also likely some form of functional autism.

I fantasize about leaving to live on my own, just a small place for me to read and learn and grow. To fast and to nourish my body with good food. To take brisk walks and unplug from the endless chatter of news and Netflix. I work with computers and know many things but need to know more, need to go monk mode and become a fucking oracle.

I don't chalk this up to me being a person who is incapable of having fun or enjoying life, but rather that the kinds of things comedians joke about are within the box of the social order. I don't consider myself a humorless prick, so I feel like people need to step their game up when it comes to making people laugh. I get sick of comedy audiences,.. they laugh at everything. Is it a mob mentality? I just wager they don't know what humour is yet.

It really was about the stronger surviving, plundering wealth, and spreading their seed among all the dead men's wives.

Your future self will hate you for not attempting to cope with who you are and find a person that can accept your flaws. And if you think you'll be the same later, than you should understand that you've never had enough self-consciousness to have collected these insights on your own, that you're more than likely allowing yourself to be defined from the outside, and that you'll never know how you'll change given enough struggle. Character is made in confrontation. And you'd be selfish to waste your talents elsewhere not to attempt to support those who will eventually support you, hopefully. (Take responsibility, kiddo.)

Been all over the world in search of good conversations. Know this feeling. The worst is when the money dries up and you gotta buckle down and get serious long enough to get some cash together, then get the fuck outta dodge. Been lucky myself to land back with family who'll feed me and give me a roof and then get me setup again towards some future earnings, or even give me work to fund some new dream I've got in my head. Been lucky to have them, and now I spend my days regretting what I haven't given back. Feel pretty selfish, but it's in my blood, and I think they know it. Just wish I could have had all those conversations with them and have been happy with a simpler life, living to give rather than this nagging desire to keep on the move. Now I suppose, a woman will keep me still, keep me grounded to something long enough that I don't get a feeling like I just got to move on cause, well, I don't even know why, other than it's in my blood.

I feel this utter disconnect when I talk to most people, I prefer to be by myself so it's usually not a huge issue, but usually I feel that people only want to represent something to themselves in talking to someone else.

I've been mad all day because I just want to be by myself instead of working. I'm tired, yet I'm not tired of doing what I want to do. Yet I have to work to make ends meet. And I'm tired of being drained by work that isn't satisfying, isn't a challenge. I'm tired of not trying. I'm angry with so many people and so many of them I don't even know.

I know I'm walking the same bad route I always take, and I can't stop. I feel stupid for not pursuing my interests earlier in life, for holding so many fantasies about playing music and writing fiction and entering academia. I've got to be reasonable and find consolation in the abilities I do have and opportunities that are there, but I desire so much, too much. I desire because I still hate, I still have not reckoned with the world, with all, I still haven't accepted peace and servility. I am too proud, and I am letting it destroy me. I don't want to be known, I want to have made the continents divide. Yet I am myself, foolish and pretending to be humble so as not to interfere. I can sublimate this, but I can't do so without effort. It's a burden to not be able to focus this meglomania on any project, but to have passions this extreme that you can't control, that eventually turn inward to torture you, to stab you with jealousy and anger and hate. I want to not feel entitled to such power, that I should be able to divide the land, but I've been conditioned to these fantasies, and no challenge yet has satisfied me. I seriously believe I could find purpose in some feats, some artistic project, and maybe that will be as simple as having a family. Maybe all this time I've attempting to understand a simple drive towards producing kids rather than art or money or physical strength, or even sexual exploits. Is this why some writers and artists needed to abstain from sex, to produce their children? Is this what I need, what will let me let go of my ambitions and focus on being diligent about just earning a living?

Heh, I know what you mean, but do you feel that you don't do this yourself? Do you mean rather that they are more concerned with representing themselves than discovering you?

That is a possibility. Many, most, people are shallow in this way.

This I feel is a catalyst towards self-discovery, alienation from social circles. Most "social" events are incredibly shallow and tiresome.
The world needs more people like yourself.

I feel, have felt, similarly.

Focus is what is necessary. When you actually value yourself, when you know you can do whatever you put your mind to, when you have that kind of confidence, it can be very difficult to actually decide to do any single thing. It is like a ticket to a dream-life and all the possibilities are available. You become an inward battleground of different passions. I want to do many, many, many things. I have an interest in many things. I know that if I could just limit myself, I would be able to do at least that one thing and then that would satisfy me. But that would mean leaving aside all the other things.

The way I have personally reconciled this is to divide my life into my youth and my wisdom years. More specifically, now until 40, 45 years old, and then 45 until death. Right now I will do music ( I am 28 ) and then when I am satisfied with that I will do writing.

This seems a preposterous thing to declare, but that is how i feel.

You must limit yourself to one singular focused endeavor. And also remember that human life is a limited endeavor in itself, destined to die. There is a limited frame of time to do the things you want. To be a master at anything requires at least 10 years of dedication.

Yes anon in a sense this is what I mean, specifically that I think most people are primarily concerned with using other people as a conversational mechanism through which they can represent a certain thing to themselves (the *thing* can be a type of abstract object, a memory, usually something in relation to their identity)

I'm not saying this is evil and I'm better than everyone else, but the type of person I am, I just happen to find it more interesting and fulfilling to gain a window into what someone is really about, what their world might be like; even if it's a small glimpse into something that might be shallow. And to have this process reciprocated to me means alot to me, since I care very intensely about the things I dedicate my time and my thought to; to be able to discuss these things with someone who is sincerely receptive to gaining insight as to who I am means alot.
The issue I've had with most people is that even expressing alittle bit of what I have to say can be humiliating in a way, because I care so much about what I'm saying, at it just appears as if I'm being overly intense or just not fitting in with the situation

And yes I agree, I think for people of a similar personality type can really benefit from solitude. And that's very nice of you to say anon, I really appreciate this interaction and the fact that you empathize with me. I apologize for typing so much and I don't mean to seem like too much of a pretentious faggot

I felt a strange thing happen recently that is hard for me to cope with, a feeling I haven't had since I was a teenager. I felt a weird optimism that couldn't be diminished by reason. I said on here to someone that I had faith without belief, and it was a joke, but this opened up something inside me that hasn't gone away. I ruminated on it for a long while, obsessively. Then after a stressful day I was thinking about my future and started reading a weird text then I had a flash of my childhood self, a joy that was so beautiful, I was for a moment the same kid I had thought I'd lost touch with long ago, and, I know that maybe I've constructed this vision and even the memory of me as a child, but the scene I daydreamed struck me and became me, who I was, that happy child, and it was me so profoundly that the experience hasn't left, nor has the sense of some purpose tied to some future happiness.

I've tried to reason myself into dismissing what all this could mean, but the pathway seems there inside me. I remember how moments before I was playing around foolishly with the I Ching copy I had and started imagining myself pursuing meditation more seriously, and from that I started to instantly feel reassured. Then the flash happened. And I know that, as most of the spooky shit that's been happening to me this last year has been me reading into connections too deeply and making something supernatural of my projection, I'm just magical thinking myself into a communion with something, but I can't help it. I'm not lost to the possibility of my experience being irrational, but I can't help but wonder that if this is helpful to me, why would I go to such lengths to invalidate it. And regardless if I need to just say, yes this was some new pills working to make me positive about my future, shouldn't I not still feel that ridiculousness? Maybe I've dabbled in the fantasy of a spiritual life too long alongside my rational, materialistic worldview which is there to give me strength in doubt. I've never had to leap for faith, I've have thousands of occasions to become a believer of something beyond, but all of them subsided before with time and research. But what of this, when no explanation removes a strange certainty not of my life, but of my character. Is it just that I accessed a place in myself because of chemicals and given enough days when I stop using them I feeling back to being lost and despondent?

I really want to be converted, I think. I really want to sit amongst other believers and not feel as though I there as an atheist who lacks community, lacks values. I'd hate to live in a country with no religions even as atheist, and I only call myself that because I can't explain my sense of gods to even myself without realising how ridiculous I sound. I don't want to be thought of as spiritual either, but I can't help musing about how profound and spooky so many omens and signs have been for me. I thought I'd grown out of this shit.

I'm sorry if this is shitty advice, but since I don't know what kind of person you are, I would suggest coming up with an idea for a specific project you want to do. I've done a ton of musical projects and I know that they all need to be concentrated on within their own zone sort of. So specific project, find out what equipment you need for said project, find out how much it will cost, ect. Make a schedule for yourself, try to organize and categorize your projects as much as you can, have specific (I mean specific as you can have, most good musical ideas aren't pre planned) goals that are distinct from one another

I have to write this giant soul destroying year-long research paper as the last thing before I can just move into writing my dissertation, that in practice everyone really ends up doing in 2-4 months MAX because the feedback process is so weirdly staggered, and I'm on the last 2 day stretch

I'm so relieved it went even moderately well, it's been like a fucking rollercoaster of "am I insane? am I so far into this project that only I can still understand it and the final product will be mediocre or even meaningless?" despite having done nonstop work for 9 months on it to the point that my entire existence has revolved around it

I basically did the entire dissertation proposal as the paper as usual because I'm a fucking idiot who can't just do a bite-sized project like a normal human. I have to climb onto the entire exploding nightmare of all of my combined interests and hunches in life and try to steer and channel them into one big Magnum Opus even though it's a FUCKING MAKEWORK PAPER

I'll end up getting the PhD much much faster as a result because I basically again did the entire proposal a year and a half early and can start writing the PhD right away basically but holy shit is this painful, I'm probably going to have 350 insanely dense interwoven footnotes

I'm just so fucking relieved it has come together at the last moment, time crunch notwithstanding, because at least that's better than standing there with 2 days left to write and still going "???? IS THIS EVEN A THING?" while also being sleep deprived and brain-fogged so completely lacking the wherewithal to meta-reevaluate your own project and second-guess yourself intelligently. I know people who are at that stage now and I've been there before and I feel bad that it didn't happen to me, like "there but for the grace of god"

Who would have known that wandering around like a schizophrenic hobo vaguely thinkin' about German idealism stuff would have resulted in something concrete at the end of almost a year. Knowing me it's just as likely I could have just ended up with a life-size statue of Goethe reading a tome made of anonymous human skin and clutching his dick

I moved abroad 6 months ago for a job. I haven't managed to make any friends and the only person I know here is a guy I knew from uni who works with me but who I don't like. I feel incredibly out of place in this city, it has been months since I have had a social interaction where I don't feel like I have said the wrong thing. I just want socializing to be easy again, like it was at home.

There is no language barrier. I don't know what the problem is. Maybe it's cultural, maybe it's being in the working world, maybe I've just changed and lost some youthful part of me that helped me meet people and make friends. I've never had trouble making friends before.

I've been talking for about a week with this girl I met at uni and have come to the realization that my social skills have eroded. My life could also just be devoid of new and exotic experiences; instead of talking to her about interesting events or telling stories I tend go on these long conceptual tangents which she probably doesn't even register as being connected to the immediate topic. I feel like she is interested in me solely because of her lack of experience when it comes to men, which led to her being taken aback by my unexpected approach, combined with some perceived shred of maturity due to an age gap, and mild physical attraction. I really need a new hobby besides math, books and programming.

I'm not particularly smart, beautiful, creative or artistic, things that are required to be successful. But I've never been satisfied by just being another cog in the machine, another average guy. So 4 months ago I did what I thought would change my life the most. I quit my job. Life got harder, no, life is still harder. I picked up a small part time job to help scrape by, but the bills are stacking up, and I might just end up on the streets one day, maybe even in the near future. But even through all of that, I am happier than I've ever been. I've found what I value the most in life. Freedom. Freedom to do what I want, when I want. I've realized that for the miniscule time I'm on this earth, I want my own time to be about me. I want to be the star of my life. The world views me as a loser, and maybe I am. But my life is not about how the world views me, but I how I view the world. I might end up dying young in the gutter somewhere, but I hope that at that time, I feel that it was worth it.

Nobody actually wants to live forever when pressed to think about it, if you confront them with the fact that they would live through the heat death of the universe, the destruction of the Earth, the decay and disappearance of all they've loved and known, etc. But neither do they want to die, for obvious reasons.

Feel like this diagram is not coherent with Freud's understanding of the uncanny. Doesn't the uncanny (unheimlich) trade on a particularly high level of familiarity, but a familiarity that can't be placed (I suppose that's why it's familiarity rather than straight up knowledge)?

Infernape was overly ambitious, and every bit as greedy as he was stubborn. So it was no surprise to the party when he refused to turn back when the blizzard started. This
Was no place to be for a fire type, yet he pressed onward. The party now back at the cabin, Articunos words echoed
Throughout Infernapes thoughts; "Should you be foolish enough to brave the howling blizzards that frequent this place, the frozen labyrinth ahead past them will devour you- and if not that then what lies waiting inside will!"
But there was no turning back now.

Estou há dois dias gigantescos sem me masturbar e assistir pornografia, e a vontade só aumenta. Eu queria fornicar um viadinho branco do cabelo liso-oleoso bem gostosinho, comer seu cuzinho virgem-róseo, alimentar suas nádegas pálidas com minha glande, e depois de muito espancar seus quadris de adolescente sapeca colocá-lo para quicar no meu caralho virgem de catorze centímetros e lamber e morder os mamilos docinhos com gosto de mel. E então decidiríamos se ejaculo nas solas dos pezinhos afeminados ou então na boquinha tenra ou talvez dentro dele e assim quem sabe viria um filhinho daqui nove meses. Por fim nós dois juntinhos sobre o lençol branco amarrotado, meu viadinho todo suado e pegajoso lendo um epigrama de Marcial enquanto eu brinco com aquele caralinho murcho feio flor arrancada do jardim, todo enrugado e cansadinho e eu passando meus dedos pela cabecinha ruborizada. E então esta seria a sexta perfeita.

Ser virgem é uma tristeza e entrar numa sala repleta de machos e saber que, naquele ambiente quadrado e pesado, tu és o menos homem e mais inexperiente e portanto é impossível que tal sensação ou percepção deixe de exalar do teu rosto e trejeitos e atitudes; todo mundo sabe que sua rola nunca subjugou outrem.
