I started working on my first novel today. It's about a guy loses a bet to his tomboy best friend and is forced to buy two hundred dollars worth of stuff for her. It's hinted with varying degrees of subtlety that they're into each other, the story takes place over the course of a single day, and culminates with them getting into an intense argument after he insults her lack of femininity. The story ends with them admitting their feelings and at last hooking up. I got the idea after watching Deadpool 2 because the Mega Sonic Warhead girl is insanely gorgeous.

My alleged friends disgust me deeply. I turned down an invitation to go hang out and smoke weed tonight because I am tired of that shitty drug and I am in no mood for inane conversations that we have had thousands of times before. I go along with it most times, and even extend the offer to them first on occasion. I suspect that they feel the same way, and also go out of some sense of obligation, or just so they aren't doing nothing on a Saturday night. Indeed, this disgust I feel towards them may very well be how they feel towards me. We deserve each other.

Venus is more than a planet. If so-called Love is the highest vibration, then why is it sitting on a singular planet? We cannot assume we live just on earth. I wake up in the morning and revisit my dreams to gain clarity. I had just been at the mall looking for a Jade Buddha statue but all I could find was Dragons. So I stole a plastic Crane (the mechanical one) figurine that was sitting at the clerk’s counter when the clerk turned his back. Dodging the security gaurd, I realized I forgot my passport. I went back and realized the clerk was a charismatic guru of sorts. What he said doesn’t matter, only that I gained the wisdom to laugh. I still stole the crane, and the dream turned into a nightmare from then on. In 3D reality, if this happened it would have changed my life. I remember that dream as if it was a memory. I remember drinking nyquil in my college dorm as if it was a dream. What is the difference?

I have been working on a novel or novella concept, philosophically oriented and therefore likely stilted but hopefully worthwhile anyway, something that is my argument for a general stance (not original, of course, but conscious of its place in the history of ideas and highly specific and articulate and further integrated into the new vicissitudes of the modern context) and also a recorded snapshot in time of my angst and hope as a young adult, this snapshot in time being, I think, a reasonable square one from which to progress from philosophically, such that as I develop as a thinker (hopefully) I either refine it or carry on from it, and further in its optimism I hope (assuming I even complete a proper draft, let alone get it published) that in later years I will be able to turn to it and reread it and reconsider it and see if I am able to fit its zest and joy into darker times or if I was simply a youthful idiot.

My greatest concern in writing it is that it will be absolute and utter trash, something any sophomoric simpleton peon twenty-something could write, something that is not only stilted or inchoate or youthfully biased, which would all be acceptable circumstances, but rather is embarrassing filth, something that I will blush over and think back to as regretfully and anxiously and tearfully as those moments of shame best reserved for youth, before you are manlier and wiser and better disposed to charge courageously into the trenches of life, but then my fear should be abated by that same cultivation of manly courage which is itself a subject of the book, and further, today I noticed A Happy Death sitting on my bookshelf and realized that if people find value in /that/ undeveloped trash, something which Camus (who is of course regarded by some as wholly trash) himself regarded as too terrible to publish, if some people, even if poorly read and most likely in their teens and twenties, find meaning and joy in something as particularly stilted and corny and embarrassing as that, then perhaps it is worth it, perhaps there can be no shame in producing tripe as long as it is done with love.

I'm not sure, but working on it makes good practice, and as it crawls its way further and further out of the pit of mere fantasization, as its component parts knit together into some wholer gestalt, something somewhat actual rather than half-articulately floating in the Ideal space of stream-of-consciousness reverie, then it will become relatively apparent if it is sophomoric or not, and I suppose that I can make my judgments then, whether I should labor to bring it to the world or whether I should throw it happily into the fire.

Sure.
The reason why people still use outdated methodologies is because they used to work in times when change was too infrequent. But now that change can only happen within 2-3 years, methodologies are immediately thrown out of the window, too quick for people to update. You have to constantly observe, arm yourself with new methods, put them together, use them, then arm yourself again and again and again. Because things used to be really goddamn slow. Now everything is fast-paced.

Humans may have the blessing of nuance, but people might think that it's more worth it to sacrifice that than to allow margins of error in anything that's small enough to not need nuance in the first place.

things just come in and out of our lives like they're nothing, whether it be people, places, books we like, music we like, etc.

everyone leaves, everything changes, everything dies, it's all so impermanent.

i see my father ageing (who i rarely speak to now, as he has been a deadbeat most of my life) and he still acts like a kid, it's almost as if he doesn't realise the tragedy of what is happening to him, knowing one day he will die and will no longer be a part of my life is sad, i miss the times when me and my brothers were younger and we'd go on our yearly trips to theme parks with him (something i'd often look forward to), but now we are all older i am the only one that keeps contact with him as my brothers cut him off years ago.

i miss being 13 years old and playing video games, you could sit around at that age and just enjoy hours full of guilt-free fun as the time you had seemed endless. being 13 is really special, you haven't quite yet gotten old enough for the world to corrupt you and trap you under it's weight but you're also old and curious enough to be interested in girls, be able to go out by yourself, and do silly things that aren't actually dangerous but seem to be at that age.

in 10 years time what is important now will not matter to me at all, my parents will be in theirs 60s, i will be in my 30s, i will be living far away from them (probably) and my life will probably be mostly done with (simply because i've lived long enough to see people age from their 30s to their 50s and not much happens in those years)

This is false. Some people do have some sort of decision of what they are going to do in life, but the majority of everyone don't. There are plenty of adventures yet, plenty of stuff to happen, you may move a number of other times, have n more relationships, new fresh relationships you didn't know could exist, career challenges of all kinds, hobbies that come and go, friends that come and go. I have friends in their 50s still drinking and smoking weed and having fun and confused about their careers but also happy about what they conquered. There are plenty of possibilities for all ages, I mean literally. You settle down when you want to settle down, again, at any age you like. And you can also break through once again at any moment.

>laissez faire quite liberal'
No, because the more egregious the exploitation, the more the aristocracy relies on the state and its monopoly on violence to protect their ill gotten goods. This is in sharp contrast to the left, whose economic doctrine would render the existence of a state to be superfluous and even harmful from an efficiency standpoint. Indeed, sacrifices are offered up in the form of Harvey Weinsteins and Martin Shkrelis when violence is not appropriate as a pressure release mechanism.
>like arent they often quite conservative
This is rooted in religion, plain and simple. A certain socioeconomic philosopher mused that religion is the opiate of the people.
>by proletariat who exactly do you mean
Those that do not own the means of production, whose surplus labour value is extracted at literal and metaphorical gunpoint.

You are assuming my statement was about me, and not simply an interesting phrase that can be uttered with interest to see how anons would respond. You are also assuming I assumed I am not less fortunate, or that would have any bearing on the statement. Wouldnt it have been rightish to assume one who claims they are depressed and maybe due to caring about people would believe they are less fortunate for it (maybe especially after suggesting the particular ultimatum)? (unless you rightishly assumed of the people that believe they are happy and fortunate for helping others...but 'depressed' was specified (implying less fortunate))

[Anonymous No.11431307]

Several days ago I walked into a hipster Asian-teahouse/cafe mix and ordered some food with my mother. While I was sitting there with my mother eating my food with her, in walked a tall white blonde women with her daughter who couldn't have been more than 8 or 9. When her mother stepped forward to look at the menu mounted on the wall, the child stepped right up to me, made direct eye contact with me, and then entirely lifted up her shirt and flashed me her nipples for half a second, before putting down her shirt, looking me again in my eye and than walking back to her mother. I remained perfectly motionless and expressionless and acted like I hadn't seen anything. Every other person in the room happened to all be looking away at that exact moment, I was the only one who had noticed something unusual.

Later on that very same day I met up with a mtf transgender I met on a dating app. I thought they were a female at first when I saw their profile. They looked like a slim cute young twentysomething girl with interesting features. We went for a walk in a park and I ended up making out with them with their hand in my pants for half the evening until I left the park and went home. They were much better at kissing than most girls I've made out with.

I used to get bullied at secondary school a lot, which I could cope with in the short term but massively ground me down in the long term. I wasn't even pushed around for anything godawfully cringe-worthy, I just had an honest and open desire to learn all I could which doesn't mesh well with nike-worshipping chavs. It didn't help that I was quite naive about the whole thing. At the time I figured that it was just down to circumstance that I felt like shit a lot but as I grew up the bullshit stopped and I was just left feeling empty and angry at nothing.
I've just kind of sleepwalked through life at minimum effort without putting in any effort to achieve and without feeling accomplished for doing anything, but since I left home to go to university I've turned completely non-functional, I don't go to my lectures and I can't even take care of myself properly at this stage. I don't have the effort to cook or eat or even get up most of the time, let alone turn my life around. After I survived my suicide attempt in the first year I decided to try drugs because my previous reservations are kind of pointless if I may well die anyway. If there's any bright spot to my life it's doing drugs, I get some brief respite from all the weight I carry and get to have some of that magic backed that the world seemed to have when I was a kid. It's only temporary though. Probably going to get kicked out of uni if my appeal to resit the year isn't taken seriously, and I otherwise will go back to living in the middle of nowhere where there are no opportunities. I have no money to get out and life will probably be a horrendous wageslave that I don't have the strength to deal with. If one of my close friends hadn't committed suicide recently and shown me firsthand how fucking awful it feels to be left by someone like that I'd probably just clock out early.
Sorry, this was probably a bit more of a rant than what you asked for.

Well I had a good night last night. I hung out with a couple who have their lives together. A mechanical engineer and his business major girlfriend. The way their apartment was all messy, (an old xbox 360 with fallout new vegas in the tray) gave me a glimmer of hope. If my room is meticulously clean, a macbook on top of some novels, I guess that there is hope for me. My apartment is clean, but my life is a mess. Their apartment is filthy my their lives are forever moving onward and upward. Maybe there is no correlation between the two. But I look forward to seeing them again. They are nice people, and maybe their goodness could transfer to me, like through osmosis. Really, I think I blow all of my problems out of proportion. I really do.

Learn how to live with a blank mind. I was in nearly the same situation as you. I was bullied alot in middle school, but learned how to punch back. I got better at fucking with people near the end of middle school. My rule was to do it in a way that would escalate the situation to its maximum extent, but also had an element of humor so I didn't look like a complete asshole. The older I got the more and more I realized this type of social strategy would just leave me more and more aliennated, so I toned it down, but all that rage turned inward and I had a mental breakdown my first semester. Like you I stopped attending classes, had a 0.0 GPA, kicked out my fraternity, had to move back home, was looked at as a failure by my parents etc.
It's strange how things work. I lived my whole life in my brother's shadow. I still struggle with suicide on a daily basis. It's not even sadness, I never cry. It's like a quiet deathlessness. Find your comfort wherever you can. Don't desire your comforts so much that you rush past them, but sit there quietly and just let it come to you. All of life is one moment. Depression is rage internalized, rage, I think, has something to do with squeezing a sequence of events into this moment, right here, now, and desiring to either embrace it (which is a transcendent experience) or wishing to destroy it, which is not so good when you are combining all the events of your life in one moment, because the thing you want to destroy is yourself.
You are not the you you were two years ago, or even two seconds ago. Let a calm descend on to you.

shitty consumerist culture has lied to people by convincing them that life is about being a 21 year old fair-skinned waif who goes to parties and has immature boyish dreams forever

in virtually every other culture in history being older (barring senility) was much more prestigious, interesting, and significant in just about every way, i've seen many descriptions of classical, medieval, and european society right down to the french revolution (and then some) as "gerontocracies"

you are living in an illusion that is no more real than the illusion that diamonds are intrinsically valuable, created by one advertising entrepreneur to swindle people, except this illusion has been embedded in everyone's heads and is distributed across all the infinite pieces of culture it has reverse engineered to conform to itself. a society with nothing to do and nothing to care about will obsess over its fucking skin

Recently I became so obsessed with pursuiving my goals it started to ruin my life. I blame myself so much for each second I spend talking to people or getting entertained, but that's not even a problem from my part because I do not ask for these things in my life. Family and social commitments, these things simply pop up in a way I just can't control it. I love to follow solid routines where I can focus exclusively on reading/writing, but it gets impossible once you live around people who love you and need love from you. I'm afraid, however, that I love my goals more than those around me and I hate to say that I feel like they are getting in my way. I know I'm not brillant and I used to think that the only thing I could and had to do to be able to make it was to devote every single drop of sweat to this passion, without losing time.

Do you get upset whenever someone insults what is undoubtedly one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

27-year-old anon here, no gf since college, no prospects, no hope at all. Just got back from a wedding and they sat me at the singles table, away from all my friendos.
I have recently learned not to accept my inevitable loneliness-unto-death but to distract myself from it via books and nothing but. Books imo are the most all-consuming of entertainments. When I read a book, especially a long book, I have for some time an alternate reality that I cannot simply escape by turning of the television or pulling out my headphones.
I read and read fiction and pummel myself with distraction. Once I’ve finished a book, there is a brief window from where I can see the flood of loneliness and desperation rushing toward me, and so I pick up another and read until I forget.

The couples dance earnestly on the ballroom floor, and the glass chandeliers illuminate their every step. It's a spectacle to say the least, what with the myriad of reflections that bounce off the gold marble floors. Laughter and excited chatter fill the halls, floating cocktail glasses, occasional cheers, and most of all, the tranquil contentment of the dancer's movements. Oh, how enamored with the other they all seem to be, how they've forgotten themselves in the night.
I watch them from the black seat, pressing soft and lovely keys to keep this soft and lovely night going. Observing the hall from this small corner, I find this world to be one of which I will never be privy to - no, I cannot be the one that dances in the light - I am the one that plays the piano.

The pressing fear is a return to Weimar Germany-esque political extremism on both sides of the aisle if both sides continue pressing their supporters into more and more frenzied narratives.

>Are there not acres and acres of warehouses and bee keepers constantly breeding more and more bees?
Not fas enough to replace the dying, no, because bees are dying of rampant new hive syndromes that we don't understand and which probably have their roots in the exact population management and captivity situations you're describing. Besides, no amount of bees on trucks are going to accomplish what wild bees do, it isn't profitable to maintain them.
>Are there not many top scientists who have grasped to some degrees, hopefully ever increasing, the nature of climate change and potential solutions?
No, because common consensus among scientists is that climate change has crossed the threshold and cannot be reversed even if we threw the engine into full stop - while politicians are exploiting common ignorance and fearmongering to push climate change agendas contrary to this fact.
>Does everyone need to stop using oil, and for cows to stop farting, and for smoke plume factories to be shut down?

Utopists see humanity as a question/problem to be solved. Their end goal is to bring an end to all strife, and so a utopia would remove all disparity which creates strife. They are blinded and cannot see that everything, good and bad, is derived from disparity.
The end result, the ideal, perfected utopia, would be a hivemind, or even just a single individual, because utopists would consider the many wills of many people and the conflict of viewpoints and morality as a cause for disparity and thus strife and would seek its end.

You do understand that global warming doesn't instantaneously raise the sea level, right?

Why do you think this stuff is happening at all? Who is in the wrong? What is desired by who?

>Not fas enough to replace the dying,
how is it known the numbers are substantial? How can it be anything other than something like a poll of 100 people and saying that is how 300,000,000 think? There is so much land, so many trees, so many bee hives, how can a substantial number of them been even seen? How could man wager how many beehives and bees exist? How could man wager what percentage of total beehives whereabouts in a country are known?

>No, because common consensus among scientists is that climate change has crossed the threshold and cannot be reversed even if we threw the engine into full stop
Cant be reversed, but can be halted, slowed down? Surely a non halt, would only make what they believe is bad, worse? So wouldnt they still extremely recommend halt?

>while politicians are exploiting common ignorance and fearmongering to push climate change agendas contrary to this fact
If the scientists done whatever they can to halt the causes and increasing damages of climate change then they arent too certain of their consensus now are they.

>None of that will do anything, as stated above, as well as because a huge amount of greenhouse gasses are produced by livestock and industry in developing nations that cannot practically be replaced.

Yeah it can be practically replaced: if the options truly are: ____% (what would this number have to be to force extreme action?) of earth uninhabitable by year _____ and that year is below 2100 (or what would that year be to warrant extreme action? 2200, 2300 2400?) then what has to be done has to be done.

The 'water will rise so much in 20 years' ... even if it in reality would be 100 or 200 years.. likely was inappropriate attempt at motivating quick action. If you knew it was true that it would raise drastically by 150 years, could you see trying to get people to act in the here and now by telling them it would be sooner?

If they believe that X amount of bad can occur due to climate change:

due to Y processes:

Dont they believe that if Y processes continue: X will be X + 100 bad, + 1000 bad, +1000 bad, +1000 bad... etc.

Ok but that is separate from plant agriculture, which is why part of the pleading is 'eat less burgers', or something.

No, but there are only some 300 million Americans and we don't harvest the majority of our own food, compare this with India or China with populations upwards of a billion where there is both a lack of the wealth necessary to graduate from livestock-driven agriculture and a lack of environmental regulations on machine-driven agriculture.
>Dude just eat less burgers
Except the population in developing nations and developed nations alike rely entirely on agricultural food production to even survive. You can't feasibly just scoop up all the cows ever used, replace them with incredibly complex, expensive, and high-maintenance EPA-compliant machinery, and force everyone to be vegan. Wouldn't work on any level, and also ignores that in India specifically cows are culturally/religiously prevented from being used for work or for butchering, so they have a constantly upward-trending population of cows that nobody wants to deal with.
And that's not even touching secondary agriculture animals, like sheep, who don't produce food but do produce even more difficult and expensive to replace commodities.

What I stated is the essence of the situation. What matters is the severity of the potential consequences and the possible certainty in which they can be known. If the facts of the severity of the consequences are severe enough, and the only reason this is a conversation at all is because a few small people believe believe there may be severe consequences, then action to prevent those consequences can be taken or not, obviously.

You are speaking and acting as if under the impression the severity of the consequences cannot possibly be that severe. I dont know, I dont know if "we" know., I dont know if the scientests know, I dont know if they can know.

So there is nothing to talk about? Noone can possibly know how severe the activities of A and B and C which """maybe""" cause climate change will lead to exactly or generally what problems in X amount of years.

Since that cannot be done, there nothing to talk about and nothing to do.

If it could be done, if there could be educated guesses and models, and relative proven relative confidences, then if it was seen that consequences passed a certain threshold of severity, then actions to prevent that severity would be considered to be taken:

Even if they included, making people eat less burgers, and helping indians and Chinese with modern farming tech or killing half their population.

If the severity of the consequences of doing nothing will result in 1% of the inhabited world being uninhabitable in 50 years what do we do.
