If helping means using violence, one should not help. When you become violent, even if it is to help an innocent person, you are on the same level as the first offender. There is only one kind of violence, blind like a bat, it knows not friend from foe. A punch is a punch. If you say: a punch is not a punch - you are mad, you think too much, if you keep thinking, one day you'll say: rape is like a kiss on a baby's cheek. The problems start when you say: sometimes, violence is okay. Already the world becomes a dark place, where the brightest colour is muddy gray. My aura will be like pure white, once I begin what I dream about every night. I cannot change the world, it is hell - but I have some control over myself. I am not evil if I don't do violence ever: the violent person is evil. Don't look at me angrily, I am the people's friend. There has to be someone who will never do violence, who will always accept you, beacuse the world is a bad place once you want thing to be a certain way.

I feel I'm slowly discovering day by day now that I'm not as much of a leftist as I believed, or at least not to the extent others are where it defines their entire personality. Not because I disagree with the things most leftists desire, but because I just don't put money first above everything and I don't even dislike hierarchy. By the way, this isn't about some individualism libertarian shit, I don't mean it like that, I just mean that leftist ideals in and by themselves don't mean much to me beyond economic concerns. I wouldn't care if I lived in a monarchy so long as people still had some degree of economic democracy. Likewise, I could envision a society where I'm even living at the bottom and yet enjoy it, even if it's not a socialist system or, to go one step further, an anarchist one. Hell, I could even imagine, dare I say it, being happy in a capitalist system if the culture around it was appealing to me. That's not to say that I don't want to reduce wealth equality and redistribute wealth, I feel that's a good thing, but for me it being enough that there are no people in perpetual poverty and billionaires with higher income than second world countries GDP would be enough.

That's the thing, I don't feel that way. That's not to say that I don't recognize elites could literally kill me if they wanted to, I know that, and that capitalism has overall a negative influence on my life, but in no way do I feel like I'm held hostage or as if I haven't reached my full potential because capitalism stood in my way. It's just a system I find distasteful and negative overall, but I don't think you can't somehow do what you want because capitalism happens to exist at the same time (assuming you aren't getting actively fucked by wageslavery to the nth degree, but you get what I mean).
>But yeah, you just sound like a guy that’ll go with the flow.
I mean you can't just say that, no. Obviously, I would focus on what's important to me even if an unfair system was in place so long as the level of unfairness was negligible. But would I go with the flow in a system like today, where people in shitholes like America literally die because they can't afford healthcare? No, I wouldn't.
>I was there too fresh out of my christian conservative phase, but I came out of it worrying about the world (9/11) and studied the problems till I found myself anarchist.
I was never really a Christian so I can't relate, though I would describe myself as a very spiritual person (no new age shit).

You know those memes about expectation vs. reality? Here's the reality, buddy. College and studying in general is fucking unenjoyable trash that's very likely to diminish your enjoyment of whatever it is you pick. I chose philosophy for this exact reason (thinking it would make me more fulfilled) and I ended up feeling dread and disgust reading books that I previously enjoyed.

Your feelings? Then you go on to acknowledge it’s true, but you’re free to avoid the pains others are suffering. I acknowledge that others are suffering more than me, but your comfort levels are just arrogance and willful ignorance. What the kids call “privilege”
>But would I go with the flow in a system like today, where people in shitholes like America literally die because they can't afford healthcare? No, I wouldn't.
Well, they are. Now what? You just said above “I could even imagine, dare I say it, being happy in a capitalist system if the culture around it was appealing to me.” this is how it’s worked. Layers of contentment designed to keep a certain amount of poverty, a certain amount of moderately comfortable, a certain amount of middle class. A caste system based solely on profits and exploitation. It is the new faith of our age and they all buy into it, and bite anyone who questions it.

What else would it be about? I mean I express solidarity with others, but I am never going to deny the fact that my feelings take precedence over everything else. I wouldn't even respect a person that feels different about themselves than that. That's not to say you can't have the wrong feelings, you can, but that's not the point.
>Then you go on to acknowledge it’s true, but you’re free to avoid the pains others are suffering.
Of course I would avoid the pains, lol, I simply want to remove them altogether, I don't want them inflicted upon me.
>but your comfort levels are just arrogance and willful ignorance.
They're not though, I understand how many people are suffering, it's also irrelevant in addressing what I said. Stop the moral posturing and projection, it's super boring, and you have no idea who I am, what I do, and aren't even bothering responding fairly to the things I've said.
>Well, they are. Now what?
Now you fight to change the system.
>this is how it’s worked.
I don't see how that's how it worked. I mean, did you want me to clarify that the capitalist system would still be pretty decent? I mean I can't envision any capitalist system I would give my endorsement to that currently exists or how existed. The point was only to illustrate that there is a point where you can lay down your arms because the aims of your battle are negligible. I mean you're free to disagree and say that you can't imagine a scenario where capitalism works in a way friendly enough that the negativity created by it would be negligible, but that is exactly what I mean by being too far gone.
>I want to relax, be left in peace so I can read and write, tend to a garden

I have no real identity, nothing I can look at and identify as myself. I wish I was a less insufferable person, less cynical, less sneering, but the task is an impossible one. Without any clear identity of my own it's like building a house on sand. As soon as it's expedient, it's straight back to the same old negative attitudes. Even if I were to succeed in my task my past thoughts and actions cannot be undone. They can resurface and ruin everything, but not be undone. I can see no escape from this pit. I deeply wish that one day I could just sit down, decide who I want to be and then work towards that - but so far it's proved an impossible task. There's no clear point at which to begin or to end, and every day that passes is another day without progress.

There's a lot of other cold hard facts that would still be here if we fixed living in a debtor system where most of us are renters living on slave wages, no? I mean, surely, it wouldn't be all roses afterwards.
>And you’re willfully ignoring it, I know.
How do I ignore it? I literally talk about it all the time and try to convert most people I meet to my viewpoint to make the world better. I only "ignore" it if you consider not giving up everything to join a social movement or whatever ignoring it. But even that isn't entirely true since I am in a lefty party in my country and get involved most election cycles. I guess I don't actively bomb train tracks or something, but apart from that, I do about the most that can be expected of a normal person from a small town in a random country.
>But that has worked to our collective detriment.
I mean, not really? You're saying it as if this is just conveniently blocked off. Look at Americans. Trumpfags don't know this, not really, and even if you convinced them of it they'd probably still say fuck niggers and #KAG or whatever. This isn't a matter of people ignoring it, it's unironically a problem with there being too many retards. There's a reason why things that are considered palatable even to actual rightwingers in my country like healthcare would be COMMUNISM in a shithole like America. Even if there's a few people giving their sweat and blood to changing the situation, it won't so long as the vast majority that's actually fucking brain dead doesn't die off or change.
>I have to keep working till they don’t want me to anymore. Or win the lottery.
That wasn't my point. My point was that you could imagine living in a system that wasn't socialist/communist/anarchist and still being able to have a decent life like that, and maybe even for everyone. Maybe not a capitalist or fascist one (since the two are intertwined), but others, maybe. And that's kinda what my point has been all along. It's more important to focus on policies that by now should be normalized all around the world (1 month vacation, 3 day work weeks, healthcare, housing as a right, etc.).

physical violence and threats of physical violence should be met with death. Armed robbery is attempted murder and is extremely dangerous to the citizenry and should be met with death. Shortly after this there will be no more violence. Civilization functions in peace, the greatest humans in history and their physical and mental inventions and achievements could not have occurred if they were attempting them while being struck with violence (mathematicians, computer makers, construction workers and engineers), violence is the enemy of construction and the stability of the sanctity of society.

"Unusual" I understand, but "perverted sense of morality"? I just look at my hands and say: don't you hurt anyone, you are only there to shake other hands. This is pretty straight forward. Or do you think the straight forwardness makes it even worse? I blame the bad hands of other people. They try to force me to be like them and I say: no gracias. As for your other insults, I am easy to kill, it's true. You could call that suicidal and effeminate.
If you kill your enemies, they have already won. I now understand these words I sometime laughed at. Violence in any form is truly the worst, the more so because it has become so natural to think of violence as necessary. It is only necessary if the most important thing to you is to exist.
The most unnatural way of acting is actually the best way of acting. I find this to be true in many cases: if you do the opposite of what you are doing now, you will become somewhat like a saint, although, of course, some parts of you you should keep as they are - I just invented this saying. If your mind says: x is natural, try to do the opposite of x. Things will become interesting and strange and sometimes better.

See, my defintion of justice is totally different from yours (as far as I can fathom it from your one post). For me, justice is when you act as if you were the other persons best friend, i.e. never harm them, always act benevolent; honour is the same for both of us, I guess, if we understand it as being respected for one's good qualities, the greatest being justice.
>then you are a weak and foolish prey of the latter.
Weakness would be to say and want one thing and to do another, because it's difficult - if this is true, I don't think I fit that category. I am, however, prey.

I went to a Science Conference held every year at school and I was supposed to get a write off with that, turns out even though I didn't place in the top three of my group I got a special place, but even that wasn't enough to pass so two weeks before the end it turns out i might not finish this year.

I have two things on my mind.

The first is that I've realized I don't have sexual attraction like other people do. When I love someone, I don't think about them sexually and I don't seek sex at all. When I've been presented with nakedness, I've felt uncomfortable, not a sense of desire. I also realize that this explains why I have such negative attitudes towards sexuality, because sex is kind of gross or strange to me, and so when I learn that someone I know has had it or desires it, it leaves me unable to relate to that desire, and not sure how to proceed with interacting with them.

The second thing on my mind is that my daydreaming is quite obstructive. Lately I've been daydreaming about being a nobleman in the Holy Roman Empire, with people I know IRL being transported back in time and interacting with "me" (who is not really me, but a personality trait of mine which is normally suppressed raised to an extreme degree). I think I do this because I have difficulty expressing my real personality with those around me, and so I use daydreaming to allow those suppressed, flamboyant parts of my personality out to them.

Anon, I started typing out a long winded response trying to logically walk through the choice, but I’m just going to distill it down to what I know now that I wish I would’ve at 18. I’m not you and you’re not me so I don’t know if this will resonate with you but it’s the honest truth from my perspective.

The first thing is that you have to realize that what they are selling isn’t an education, it’s a degree. It’s a piece of paper that acts as admission to a job or career. I work at a University. They openly talk about it as such. Nearly everything is marketed on the context of the career it will get you. It’s selling an image almost all the time. So that’s an important aspect to consider. When you study a field you’re not really interested in, all you’re doing is buying an admission ticket to a career.

I also think it’s important to realize that because the focus is on the degree as admission ticket, real education takes a back seat and is often subordinate to political implications unfortunately. So you can’t really just study what you want and expect to get some great education out of it, unless of course your interest is in fact something like stem and getting a career.

So what to do then? I personally don’t see the value in studying something you have no interest in just to get a career. Further I think literary and artistic types often find themselves totally out of place in materialistic private industry anyway. Nietzsche talked a lot of shit on the marketplace for a reason. What I honestly would recommend is to accept that you’re only going to get maybe 10% of a real education from any degree program and completely disregard the conception of degrees. Use college as a means to sharpen what you learn from self study and use the Academic environment to hone your reading, writing, speaking, and thinking. Plan on going all the way regardless of whether you study a Classics or Mechanical Engineering. Just steer clear of the marketplace and accept that you’ll just have to do most of your real learning on your own.

More than anything, I would just join the Military or maybe get a Trade so I could really just use University purely as a means of completing my informal education with formal education, not as a career move.

I’ve already done this to a pretty drastic degree in my opinion. In the past year, I’ve kicked a drug habit, lost 50 lbs., quit porn and masturbation, stopped any regular drinking (have a few on holidays and special occasions still), quit smoking, quit caffeine, started fasting (intermittent and multiple day fasts), ditched TV and movies, downsized my possessions, and cut back my spending drastically. I’m considering getting rid of my car soon and still browse 4chan, listen to Podcasts a lot, and read.

I still basically feel trapped in the mundaneness of sedentary and comfortable office career which I have no interest in whatsoever, but am sentenced to mostly because of my suffocating student loans and horrible undergraduate track record (I got a worthless degree and a horrible GPA). It’s not even so much that I’m unhappy with my career as much as I’m unhappy with the idea of career. I just hate this idea of a life spent in pursuit of comfort and consumption.

I’ve always had an uneasy relationship with my father, perhaps “uneasy” is the wrong word but i use it for lack of the right one in it’s place; you see, I say this because the first time I met the man, I was an 8 year old boy, and he killed a young girl in front of me.
He had never spoken of it, or, even acknowledged anything untoward had happened on our first meeting. He simply sat in his recliner in front of the television, occasionally scribbling something down in a beaten up black book that he locked away upstairs in his room.
Mother left when I turned 8, that’s how I came to live here. She told me she was going out for some milk and two weeks passed and she still hadn’t returned. The police knocked on the door and I didn’t answer, apparently they can break into your house if you don’t answer, I watched them do it too; a burly officer climbed through the door first (which partially hung off it’s hinges and splintered wood in its middle) and he asked me why I didn’t open the door, “Mama told me I shouldn’t open the door to strangers.”
They couldn’t argue that, the world was a dangerous place! But didn’t I hear them call “Police” several times? No. I had but I still said no. And I had been sent to live with a couple who had a little girl and boy, they could not find any other living family members. They were nice at first, all of them, I thought the other children, Harriet and... Oh, what was his name? George? Josh? Who cares? I didn’t. I exhaled. James. That was his name. They were a little strange. They all slept in the same room, the three of them. I got the small bed to myself while the other two shared a bed. Every night I’d hear someone enter the room and when I opened my eyes, Harriet and James would have left. I didn’t know where they went, so, being an inquisitive child, I crept outside and happened upon the most horrific scene which I wish I could... No, I cannot think like that.
I was caught watching what I can only describe as the most heinous thing I’ve ever seen and, having recently found out that I would be living with them permanently, my new parents had entered the room one night and spirited me out with the other children to do what... No, I cannot think of that either. I felt tears in my eyes, stinging me, blinding me; force them down, force it all down. And then father turned up one night and I went to live with him.
I remember seeing the same officer at the house who had broke into mine and he asked if I had seen anything, and I had said, “No officer.” He had accepted that. He wasn’t going to pry any further, he was just glad that this kid seemed ok. He didn’t want to divulge anything more, better to live in ignorance. But I want in ignorance because when I heard the television one day a couple weeks later, I heard a family had been brutally massacred by the father before he took his own life.

A year or so ago, I ordered this little Kalimba off Amazon. Back then, it was nothing special, just one of many mass-produced $40 Helsin KOA 17key units that wriggled their way into YouTube where people play charming little songs on them. I felt inspired and ordered it on a whim. I have had it for a year now, and I don’t know what I would do without it.

I began like a musical toddler with no skills or knowledge in creating pleasant sounds. All I had inside of me was this feeling, and urge to sing through an object deep in my heart. Slowly, I began to learn where everything was. The lower A,B&C are my favorite neighborhood, and each time almost feels like a person to me. They are all so unique in their personalities and the emotions they inflect. Lower A, he’s my favorite. Always skeptical and just in the middle of he board that modulation with a thumb or an index finger over the center hole makes him thoughtfully wail with ge most complexity of all his brothers.

The body of the instrument too, I’ve come to know. On a hike in the woods last February I thought it might be pleasant to take it into the isolated woods with me and play alone out there in the cold woods. How foolish it was of me, not to resize that the wood was too brittle in the cold and a massive crack formed. I felt terrible about it, as if I had hurt this new friend I had made, this small wooden singer had brought me so much joy during its time in my care, and I neglected it. But this great gash which started as a mistake eventually revealed itself as a unique blessing. The gap changed the sound to a more split and eerie tone. Something with a story in the voice of its own life. I began to carve drawings into the surface to reflect this. It’s evolution in appearance and the loosening of the keys has made he sound feel more organic, and speaks to the journies we’ve been on together. Road trips through the desert, scratches from tiny grains of sand on far-off beaches. We’ve been out there singing together.

Every night before I go to bed, I hold the Kalimba and play it. It’s sorrowful tones can be transformed into something beautiful with subtle inflections of hope, and I feel as if I am finally able to sing to the world the music I feel in my heart. Every night before bed we have this dialogue. Old childhood favorites and contemporary pieces alike, improvised and figured out along with the discovery of tritones and a newfound freedom to combine different chords. Now that I know it’s body, and now that it’s body knows my mind, we can sing what we truly want to the world.

It’s nothing grand, but I often think the best things in life ought not to be. I love this little instrument so much.

Exactly. It’s so exciting when you finally figure something out, and you feel that primordial voice become just a little stronger, it’s energy fed by your hard work. Wether it’s knowing how to automatically play a chord from muscle memory or knowing where to place a CGE combination in the rhythm of a new song idea, I feel as though I am chipping away at some sort of crust covering up a portal to the divine. Each thing learned through experimentation is a small hole made, revealing this mystical golden light from beyond, where true mastery over your heart and it’s expression of joy lies.

We are the same soul. Solipsism isn't the veritable truth, nor should self-centredness be conclusive to the state of our existence. Defining our existence on the basis of the richness of sounds, the vividness of colours, the expression of individuality, can equate to subjective worthlessness if we believe to be deprived of these things when we come to pass. Yet it seems like no matter how we try to put objective meaning into our lives, it always comes to the same end result. Humanity has no purpose. So we have no meaning regardless of your own passion and fury to live "for your own".

Culture, religion, and society fabricates truth about the human experience. These systems of truth have always predicated civilisation's folly. It is thus difficult to accept that the human experience is itself valuable. It may be the case that you were just as non-existent before you were born as when you will die. Yet death should be inherently bad because it deprives us of life, the potential to utilise life, and life's experiences of pleasure and pain.

At the end of the day we will all go to bed. We will all attend the sunrise. Even if someone who is not you will become you and you become nothing tomorrow, it shouldn't rightfully matter to the people who love you without condition. For it is the beauty inside that counts. A life of an indeterminate amount of sequences, each individually worthless to their own, almost to the point of ill-purpose, is irrelevant to those who totally accept them. They will chase the shadow of that person: their irreplaceable soul eternal.

Oy vey, Gevalt! If you are deaf and don't hear what people say to each other before battle, all you see, when the fighting breaks out, is people killing each other. Then, when the battle is done and the graves of past wars, on which they were fighting now, have been turned updside down, then you are given a transcript of the speeches you didn't hear, and they read like the text you have posted.
I don't agree with this kind of reasoning. There will always be reasons to kill one another. It is like an infinite waterslide ride up and down impossible geometry. I, on the other hand, am stupid. I look on the outside of things and don't reason very much with them. I don't turn and twist the thing to find a dirty spot. My way is more like cutting through police tape: I walk right into the murder house, unarmed, gunshots ring out, and a white dove flies to heaven (that is my soul [I don't believe in a soul or in heaven]). It is like some video game role playing game: you can choose different classes and such, what colour your robes will be, black or white, or heavy or light armour. Your post is like the paladin's way (I played some WoW back in the day, 2016). Then we have some people from pol, they seem more like the warriors or barbarians (when jews or blacks are concerned). I on the other hand am a priest. I have no attack spells on my keybar, so I am kind of bad in arena. Maybe I am a warlock, actually, because I offer the world on a plate to evil forces - I don't use my spells though.

I'm not sure how much of a mistake I'm making with antidepressants. I'm still giving them a chance as there's some potential and hope for things to turn out for the better, but I often wonder if it's not better to just go back to the shitty baseline of before instead of risking further issues. Gone through 2 SSRIs and pretty much gave up on them forever, but now I have the chance for an SNRI and I'm almost willing to take the bait. It seems withdrawal is absolute hell if you decide to cut it later though so it's not a decision to be taken lightly.

I learned a bit about lenses and bought a decent camera to discern the truth of mirrors. Now I'm angry and afraid. I don't know what upsets me more, the thought I might not be as ugly as I believed, or that I am truly hideous. The former is such a new and terrifying thought I resent it for being so late in coming and up ending my downward spiral.

My girlfriend is a cute virgin that's very traditional. However, you couldn't tell this when you meet her because she larps as a revolutionary commie, but really all she wants is to be a housewife and make babies. It's the strangest shit. I doubt you can honestly tell what a woman wants before she trusts you. Most one of the rightwing girls that larp as traditionalists like Lauren Southern are known to be megawhores behind the scenes. I would say that ANY girl promoting herself as a traditionalist is bound to be some sort of grifter. The ones that are truly traditional (like girls raised Muslim) still don't talk about themselves like that. If you want to find a loving girlfriend easily, just go for a Muslim. I've dated like three Muslims and they were all top tier people that never let me down, it just didn't work out. Overall, I'd rank Muslim/Jewish girls as top girlfriend material. The worst being Asians, just any Asians. Fuck Asian girls, they're such cancer.

When I was a kid I volunteered in the summers at a farm animal rescue sanctuary in southern MA. We had over 800 animals, everything from cats to dogs, to fowl and livestock, even exotic pheasants and emus. All rescued. Even to this day, I remember them like people, their individual lives, stories, and souls. There was an elderly goose who could no longer walk, but only stand briefly with the help of his beak. I used to clean his bedding, water, and food, and sit there and pat him for a few minutes afterward. He always seemed calmer after that. Or, we had Napoleon the potbelly pig. He was “mistaken for a teacup pig” by the cruel people who bought him as a pet, and when he grew too big for their liking they tossed him into a snowbank and left him to die on the side of the road in Norton. He loves belly rubs and corn cobs, and never bites like most other pigs I’ve come across. Every time my boss would get back from being in the road, the donkey would bay with happiness and run around when she got back. The emus were always my favorite, dinosaurs in hiding with this quiet intelligence about them. They would follow you as you mucked the horse stalls, and twist their heads in observation at your actions. They enjoy a palm full of sunflower seeds and being scratched on the neck. Every afternoon, our flock of domestic geese would wander down to the river on the wedge of he sanctuary for their swim in the golden light, and underneath the great swathes of white pine, the needles formed a soft carpet for all the creatures to tread on, in this small verdant neighborhood of peace where they somehow found themselves. Through happenstance or slaughterhouse auction, they were the ones who had made it, and to this day I love them all.

To be an animal is no simple thing. They have their worries, their fears, their friendships which transcend across species to other animals and humans alike, and they have their own quiet intelligence and unspoken stories too. I feel lucky to have cared for them, and for all that they taught me of the world at such a young age. Be gentle to the creatures of this world, for they have much to give back should you stop and listen to their wisdom.

As with the other anon, the moments of climax and after, looking into her eyes, were as moving as the first time I saw the milky way.

However, I have since come to recognize that she and I were both awful people, in more ways than one. We lied, we took drugs, we blamed others for our failures and mediocrity, we were (often quite) un-hygienic, we engaged in pleasures of our flesh past the point of hedonism with little thought of the ramifications it would, and indeed did, have on our persons.

I am now single and somewhat lonely, but I manage my hygiene, fitness, and finances with rarely-wavering discipline. I make sure my person is honest and reliable to those I work with, who depend on me. I see now that feeling of love for what it was, an unsubstantial, frivolous pleasure not unlike the time I mixed MDMA and LSD.

I know a woman who raised a family of 6 and lived to 100. She did not love her husband, as he lost his mind soon after the birth of the 6th, but she knew her duty to her family and did everything she could to support them. In turn, their company carried her and her sanity into old age.

Having known the transcendental experience of love, I will hold out for an intelligent woman with such a sense of filial duty-- to the exclusion of any other relationships if it comes to that.

hopefully that helps you feel better

My sleep cycle has turned itself completely ass-backwards thanks to a mix of narcotics and procrastination. On a good day, I'll concentrate my willpower and manage drag myself out of bed at around 4 PM, where I spend most of my day smoking cigs and maybe killing a few of the beetles that keep pouring out from under the stove. My “morning” is pretty much a blur, honestly. At around 11, I force myself into a hard, uncomfortable chair so that I may pore over an ugly chipped IKEA desk, dimly illuminated by a cheap Tesco lamp, and proceed to do literally anything except for whatever hopelessly easy assignment has been given to me. Usually at around 6AM I’ll have spent too much time alone with my own thoughts to want to go on, so I’ll “reward” myself with a joint and possibly even fall asleep to the obnoxious, relentless fucking crowing of the seagulls outside.

skip sleep one day (after staying up all night, don't sleep, keep awake til evening) and it'd be much easier.
weed may help you pass out, but it worsens the quality of sleep. so go to bed sober - it'd be very hard to fall asleep if you quit after continous abuse, so eat some mild sedatives beforehead. valerian root is great, just eat a lot of it (won't be harmful) 3-4 hours ahead, you'll sleep naturally and won't be dizzy in the morning like with strong sleeping pills. also, quiting weed makes your dreams bizzare for a couple of days, have fun.

I can't decide if I should focus on philosophy or fiction. Both remind me what a brainlet I am. Fiction, lately, makes me feel like something heavy is on my chest. Lolita really did a number on me, I'm not sure how Nabokov manages to write like that. It's so dense, too many calories almost. Philosophy, on the other hand, makes me restless.

The library scanner won't register the barcode on my book but the chinese girl at the counter either doesn't know enough English to explain that to me, or maybe she doesn't really feel the need to explain it. She walks away and prints something out, so I stand around gawking and the four-man security squadron standing around in the lobby. I recognize two of their faces but I'm sure they don't recogonize me.

The chinese girl comes back with a temporary barcode sticker. She checks out the book and she doesn't desensitize it, but I know it's okay because she adhered the sticker next to and not on top of the old sticker and so when I leave I'm going to set the alarm off anyway.

I set off the alarm when I try to leave. A fifth security guy walks up to me. This guy's wearing a different color uniform than the other four, it's light brown instead of black. I think he's a real cop. How do they coordinate library security between two different military organizations? It's not relevant to me.

He's friendly with me and he waits while I flip through the book to find my check-out receipt. A white-haired lady walks up to us and she looks at me suspiciously but she doesn't say anything. She's just watching me while I continue not to find a single receipt in a three-hundred-page book. The security guard is getting impatient.

Finally the lady asks my cop where the "google thing" is. "The town hall?" he asks, "Fourth floor". She walks away, but looks at me over her shoulder as she goes. Right. Google is buying 80 acres of land here to build a new "village". The white-haired lady is here to stop them. She's the last democrat in America. Fourth floor agora. I think about putting a crown on her head and kissing her feet. I'll feel bad when the attrition gets to her.

Another security guard walks up, one from the squad of four. I don't recognize his face. I find the receipt, but it says "Fast Add Record" on it, and not the title of my book. The new security guard takes it from my hand and says "That's not the title of your book." The old security guard motions the chinese girl over. An old grizzled black guy comes up and asks where the google thing is. Fourth floor.

The chinese girl explains the situation. I think about the book about pigeons which I couldn't find on the shelf. Who would steal a book about pigeons from a public library? I fit the profile now.

As I walk out the door I hear an old guy ask the front desk security guard where the google thing is.

It's dark outside and I smile at a homeless guy I recognize. He doesn't smile back because he doesn't recognize me. I don't recognize most of the people on the street. Somebody overdosed on the street across from my apartment last night. Somebody stole the book about pigeons, who are really doves.

I enjoyed this. These are my favorite sorts of instruments, well play, well loved, finger prints worn right into the wood.

The crack was not because of the cold, just the dry air drying out the wood and causing it to split. As the wood dries it shrinks which creates tension, that crack is the wood deciding to relieve all that tension. If you have not done so, it is worthwhile to have to crack either cleated or filled to stabilize it so you do not end up eventually just losing the entire left side of the soundboard, cleats will have minimal effect on sound, filling it will bring it back close to its original sound. Any halfway decent luthier that focuses on acoustic guitars can do the work. It will probably cost as much as the instrument did, possibly more, but it seems like this was a lifetime buy for you so the cost is a great deal.

Once again I will open my mouth, and make my enemies chuckle. First, I will briefly reiterate my fundamental moral principle: violence, be it physical or psychological, is never justified, neither to prevent one's own death nor to prevent the death of others, rape, torture, extinction - a moral life means being completely at the mercy of evildoers, to always turn your cheek, so to say. Now, there are, i suppose, two ways to handle this situation of ours: we could walk right into the butcher's cabin or we could hide in the woodwork. I don't think one should die on purpose - that would be insane, wouldn't it? The righteous have as their supreme duty to be righteous and to stay righteous, that is, to live as long as they can without defiling themselves. So we must flee, as the deer do, over the heath and into the woods, because we have broken our wolf teeth. The righteous hide in the shadows when it is day and at night sneek into the gardens, to nibble at berries and grass and to shit. The righteous hang like gnats hidden in the lion's neck and suck his blood. Christ had to die in public - it was the smartest move in his situation: he had to die to give to all the fundamental moral principle. Our situation is different though: we have to live in secret, for we have to poison as many wells as we can - we have to do good, and to do good means to live. A righteous person, who wants to stay righteous, wears a black cloak, hides his face, does not say the truth, does not endanger himself - why? because for him who carries the spirit of righteousness, his only task is to carry it, to hold on to it. In a blink of an eye, we sprint from our bushes, where we lay hidden, to the place where the poor rest, we kiss them, and help them as good as we can, and vanish. We are evil's nightmare, the goblin on his chest. We are the reflection of the moon upon the eyes of a starving child, looking up to the stars and praying in silence, while in the distant desert sea, the jolly sounds of a caravan echo into the infinite dark, to where people believed once to be the throne upon which sat God and watched, though now the child knows better, saying his prayer in his mind, the palace of the heart, that there is only his own love.

I often imagine a self-inflicted death; it’s a sort of wild fantasy, particularly after too much beer. Other drinks fail to affect me in this way, but since beer is the drink to which I am most partial, I often associate a good nights drinking with an hour or two of suicidal fantasy. During those excitable hours, I often wonder, quite narcissistically, what people might think of my unexpected departure.
I go through usual routines; first of course is my beloved, what she might think is a mystery to me. She might fancy it to be out of spite and – depending on the night I act, she may or may not be correct. Friends are easier, since they will most likely assume that my obvious character flaws rendered life unliveable, and sensibly regard my death as an unfortunate end that many fringe-elements opt-for.
Then comes my mother, for whom I harbour a difficult love. I am not close to her, and as such wonder; would she would have the insensitivity to feign understanding and use the event as proof of, or an excuse to further, her brainless, ‘aren’t we all one’ hippy agenda? Or would she perhaps be so shocked by the death of her son that she decides to drop the pretences and realise she’ll have to come to terms with, and ultimately accept responsibility for, what happens in her life.
My dad is easiest to understand, but the most difficult to accept. He would grieve that I had failed to see the inherent value in life, had succumbed to suffering without dealing with it. In a painfully Buddhist way, I fear he would conclude that my death had been caused by not learning enough or having learnt too much – In reality it is a simple disagreement: there is nothing to be said for life that cannot be said against it. So, in the sum of things, there’s nothing irrational in deciding to check out before the reaper gets any ideas. He’ll drag you out in his own time, with his own methods - this seems rather gruesome to me.
On reading this back I notice that mum has taken up a great deal of what I’d like to say, and I regret this since I actually consider her the least, and my friends the most. I certainly shan’t die yet, if it is down to me anyway, I am far too cowardly and squeamish to do much about my dissatisfaction with life. Besides, there are far too many bastards that I want to outlive. Say what you like about being bitter, hateful, spiteful or envious, but I tell you; they are what get me out of bed every day to stomach the first mouthful of coffee. The same cannot be said of the songbird, or the warm sunlight, or any general desire to do good, or leave the world better than I left it.

God, I love thinking about myself so much. Me, me, me. I (sic) wish I could just have something else on my mind - sure, there are other things which captivate me, but on the end of the day I will be still riding the bus home, thinking about ME.

And women. I like thinking about women as well. I hate them, of course. But for some reason, they seem to like me. Women like it if the guy is a bit arrogant and a bit egotistic, I think. I'm glad they don't know, that under the facade of loudness and healthy self-confidence lies a massive narcissist. And I'm even happier that they don't know that underneath the massive narcissist dwells a little boy who's subconscious assures him of his superiority, yet the conscious part proves that wrong by the hour.

Sometimes I like to imagine I was 10 cm taller. Would I be a normie then? Perhaps if my dick was a bit bigger. Though, to think about it, it was most likely the late puberty that fucked me up.

It's winter now and sun sets almost at 4. What does this mean? The bus windows make perfect mirrors when I going back from work. I like to watch myself in them, but I make sure I move my head around every now and then so that the other passengers don't think I'm admiring myself. I'm not sure what I'd have done if I was ugly. There are two options; either I would kill myself, or I would stop thinking about women - as a coping mechanism. Because now, enough women give me attention to make me feel attractive, yet not enough to satisfy ME.

I am going on and on about ME, I know. Truly pathetic. Yes, anon, I am a huge faggot. Hah, I said you'll think "well at least he's self aware, maybe he's not that bad after all, I might even give him a (You)". No, anon, that's exactly what I want - the worst possible thing for me is that I get none. Validation is - unironically - better than sex.

I've seen this all around the internet today, so I'm curious: what is it about a fetish for fat girls that makes people so incredulous? I've seen multiple times in different places today people refusing to believe that men could be attracted to fat women. What is it about a fat fetish that people find so difficult to believe? It's not even some new and novel fetish, relatively speaking, like the blueberry fetish. Fat women have existed for centuries. Is it really so strange to envision men that are attracted to them? I wouldn't think so, but it seems to be the case for a lot of people.

I don't know if my reading is a form of escapism or the opposite of escapism. I feel like I read to experience emotions that are not available to me in real life. In real life I avoid situations that make me happy, sad, or angry. The fear of rejection and criticism dominates ever trait of my behavior and personality. In school when I'd receive a test or paper back from my teacher, it would take me a long time before I could force myself to look at the grade. I'd make sure to blur my vision first so that any other written comments would appear illegible to my eyes. When I pass a mirror or a particularly reflective window, I also blur my vision so I won't catch sight of my face. In real life I'm unloving and unlovable. There are certain books and certain scenes from books that I'll read repeatedly because of the emotion they bring out of me. Those passages, Levin's proposal in Anna Karenina, the funeral in Sword of Honor, let me cry without risk to my real life persona. And when I read them, I do cry, every time.

I had a really mentally exhausting day at my retail job today. I just got really overwhelmed (I don't usually work two days in a row and I'm quite fucked up) and had a mini panic attack. That has happened before and my customer service kind of goes to shit. Not really good and I'm working on it but it's difficult. Anyway, it happened when two regulars were in the store. My right hand just started shaking uncontrollably and I just politely asked them if I could take a moment to get ahold of myself. They said sure and I crouched down behind the counter and did so. I stood up after twenty or so seconds and everything seemed fine. One guy even asked me if I was okay which I thought was nice. It was very unprofessional of me but I couldn't control it. The weird thing with my hand was something I've never experienced before.

I also had my closing routine ruined. It was completely fine as I planned on staying later to get stuff done anyway and the person was very cool about everything and thanked me profusely for even unlocking the door and doing what was necessary. It just really ruined my routine and threw me off. I had to call my boss and have him walk me through things I halfway knew because my brain just wouldn't work. Just overwhelming. I'm not supposed to do that. Once we close we close. Customer comes first, though. It's contradictory. I don't like it. One or the other.

Why do humans experience pleasure? How do humans experience pleasure? Do humans experience pleasure differently than other animals do? Are there any philosophers who write about this question?

I'm afraid that someone will answer this question with retort: "Well, there has to be something that serves to contrast with pain." But I'm not sure that answers the question. For one, the resulting question emerges "Why do humans experience pain?", and the surface-level responses to that question ("Because it enables us to survive by responding to dangerous stimuli") don't really help address the question of "Why pleasure?". Shouldn't the inverse of pain simply be neutrality, indifference? If pleasure merely emerges out of pain, why does it do it? If it doesn't, where DOES it come from?

fat was a common attraction when ideals of beauty were depicted in paintings. they idealised bodies too, but still, the painting heroine's charm is in her variety of mass and softness, motion of the flesh, you know. just drawing a polished mannequin-like girl with a soulless face and huge tits would make you a shit artist.
ideals changed with glossy magazines, now people still have the belief that "common" attraction is to those shooped models.

Can't get rid of this cringe memory of mine. I was turbo autist back in 10th grade and for some reason I thought it was because I can't make everyone laugh by shouting funny shit during class, like the cool kids do. So for some reason during a test I shouted "OPPA GANGDAM STYLE". Not a single person laughed, not even a mock laugh, everyone was just confused. Fucking hell man, what was I thinking.

After having a look at my past I've realized that my life had been better, largely because I was a bit more social and open to challenges of any kind. If I had to blame something for such actions, it would be my spirit as a teenager, for being a rebel is one of the fundamental attributes of the young man. During my teenage days I was happy; surprisingly more individualistic and ignorant about any kind of subject. I don't blame those who are ignorant, even as a young man, hatred is what I felt towards ignorance; however it should be welcomed with gratitude, for we become blind from great part of the madness that surrounds us.

About my sentimental side I can say that I've always been a deep romantic inside, despite of the cold image that has been portrayed of myself. My first relationship was special, it is what many argue to be the most pure and innocent proof of connection there is; teenage love. And the worst thing about my romantic past, is its contrast with my surreal present. As the saying says, one realizes what he once had the moment he looses it; nowadays I tend to spent time with individuals who I despise in secret, it not a matter of hatred here, for I don't wish for their soon death, it is certainly something beyond that. Sometimes I wish I was there for once, surrounded by people who truly cared about me, and not by these fools who argue to be my "friends" or worse; my "family". What is a friend to these people? certainly a bloody etiquette, a tag, a friend request, a social construct, a toy, a tool, a servant, a slave; something which they can use for their convenience and of course, against you. The average modern individual tries to be rational; this just proves how much of a fool they are, for I can take off their filthy masks and see their real faces. Even by a simple overlooked factor which is instinct, one can reveal what these fools hide you know? it only takes a gaze and sometimes a rigorous hearing, to reveal their obscure intentions.

A manifestation of escapism has been chasing me the past days; I wish I was able to leave far from all this madness, to a better place, to a paradise, a paradise lost.

Issue is that the characters is based on a person I met a while ago.
He was also btw slightly overweight and wore a neckbeard.

You bury yourself in escapism. Physical pleasure of consumption. Much like everything else in life, it gets old and tired after a while.

The most intense feelings, the ugliest and most pleasurable, peak in intensity during the first instance of experience. It's all downhill from there.

Do I need to give up on the idea of ever being truly free? Am I ever going to be able to seperate myself from the system we are all trapped in or is there no true escspe and the only real options are going to be whatever society allows rather than what I actually want? Is the only way to save our species going to be to destroy it? Are we just that doomed? Just the playthings of god/gods of cruelty?

how free is someone living removed from society relative to someone living in the midst of it, adhering to all social norms and standards?

In other words, is a bird on the tree branch freer than the one in the cage? If you think the answer to this question is simple, you don't understand what freedom is

And so is he a neckbeard? A degenerate? A symbol of the modern male in 2019? If he's going to have all those traits they should be pointing towards one of those, but the character as you describe just seems scattered.

Everyone suffers. Life is coping with the degree of suffering that your roll of the dice granted you.
Do you believe all those around you are in a sublime state of being and you're the only one that needs to be fixed?

If I was you I'd play up certain aspects of his character to the point of satire. Make him disabled due to his own fetish, make him bisexual due to being pressured into fucking a homosexual to not seem intolerant. Replace drugs with excessive porn and video games, and throw out the Renaissance fair thing because no one gives a shit. Make his entire being into being a critique of the modern male, especially the archetypical 'redditor'.

take what you want, irrespective of what others including the collective offer.

If you're happy in the cage stay in it and don't complain. If you're not happy in the cage, bash your head against it until there is a hole big enough to get out. The only thing you truly have is your will, irrespective of what all the pseudo intellectual accumulation of philosophical cancer tells you otherwise.

That is true humanity, in my opinion. Everything else is just bottom feeding garbage. Society was born on a few picking up what they wanted and taking it. It will always be this way.

I was flying back from North Carolina after thanksgiving, not having masturbated at all for the week I was there. My soul was crushed when I found myself seated between an asperger black guy and a little girl, and a 5/10 blonde sat in the window seat in front of me. So close and yet so far. If I had only been placed one row in front I would’ve pushed my leg into hers, spent the flight peacefully / erotically cuddling up next to her, and likely had sex that night.
Instead I sat where I was having very mild sexual tension with a 10 year old girl.

I had my aunt pick me up and give me a ride to my place. My aunt is in her 30’s, is sexually repressed and has never had a boyfriend.

When I was very young, we watched porn together and I masturbated by humping a pillow. When I was in my late teens I came into her room at night and asked if she ‘wanted a massage’ which was a fantasy I had masturbated to involving her. She said no but the next morning she practically sat on my lap and pressed herself into me. I was unaroused at that point though.

Now here we are in her car as I’m getting a ride, and while she’s talking I’m deciding whether or not I should reach over and grab her inner thigh and pussy. Even if she put up resistance, I don’t think she’d reject me. How awkward would it be though? What if she looked bad naked? I didn’t do it, but it’s something I’m still on the fence with.

My younger sister also has this book, I don't know if it was a gift or if she bought it herself. I just noticed it near her bed and I'm slightly concerned. She is still underaged and I don't think that her future looks bright. I want to belive it does, but she seems quite childish and arrogant. I don't want her to repeat mistakes I made. She is also growing up to be consumer, american liberal (we are living in Central Europe), and globalist - I don't think any of these is going to bring her happiness or purpose, especially since she isn't particulary wealthy, smart or pretty and it doesn't seem like she is going to be. I think that if she is going to follow this path, one day she will look at her wrinkled belly, then at her collection of slightly expensive shoes, few vacation photos from not-so-exotic places and unfinished glass of wine and empty boxes of chocolates and ask herself "Am I happy?" "Where my life had gone?". Maybe it just me being projecting faggot, or overprotective asshole, but I am worried that she is going to end up bitter and alone.
