So i'm writing a short horror story about a couple trapped on a raft by a lake monster. Not going to give too much away but the idea is that the monster is more then just some undiscovered species but this thing that has lived for centuries, it has a soul, so to speak and toxins that could affect the human body, almost supernaturally. I want to evoke absolute horror with this tale but I also want to touch in surrealism. Any thoughts or tales with a premise similar to this?

THE KEY TO NOFAP/Coom ritualism:

>Evil spirits in ur dick making you jack to trannies and lose your mind
>Get rid of them fast
>Don't sit there for hours playing with them
>literally just nut as quick as possible, treat it as a cleansing for the time being
>live righteously and eat ritualistically to accumulate good karma and good loads
>hold it
>release in ACTUAL sexual ritual where it is useful and meaningful somehow.

Or maybe it's:

>these are my fucking children
>I'll protect you little bros, instead of shooting you into a shitty toilet bowl
>creepy demon rapists tryna get my kids
>I gotta protecc them

Or is it:

>expell your bad seed karma away
>Jack all your powerful and strengthening seed karma into a shotglass glass
>administer up your ass as suppository with funnel or eat because consummation of good nuts produces better vibes yo

Or is it:

>remove prostate entirely

I had to give in and start a bookstagram/brand page for my book series. I've noticed a few things about IG writers/book-lovers that has started to concern me.

1) They post incessantly about writing rules, what it means to be a writer, how to approach the craft, etc. Sometimes, it's more general, but I've seen people get as specific as what to wear if you want to write well (like that has anything to do with it)
2) They love to declare their pronouns in their bios (lol)
3) They all take the some artsy shots of the books they're reading, yet have nothing of significance to offer in terms of criticism or opinion
4) Few, if any, have had things published, and it shows in the quality of their work. In fact, I'm convinced most don't even write seriously.
5) The accounts that do post original work usually devolve into Rupi Kaur-esque IG poetry after a while, complete with illustrations and needless optimism

It's all so tiresome, really.

I was reading through a forum yesterday and saw a post from a young lass, hadn't even finished highschool, saying she'd injected air into her veins in a fit of self-destruction. She deteriorates rapidly - her body turning purple, so she calls an ambulance. She only gets worse at the hospital, she can't walk, she can barely hold a cup, she can feel her brain deteroriating and she's going blind. She says she's writing her will. Through all this her parents and boyfriend refuse to visit her, they're fed up of her since she's already been to the hospital in the past week for self-injury. Another post this morning, evening American time I suppose, she can't breathe without a ventilator, her organs are shutting down, food keeps coming back up, well and truly fucked. Perhaps the kicker in all this, is that she's never given real mental help, not even on her deathbed. She was put on cheap antidepressants by a psychiatrist, who didn't care to sort out therapy for her because she wasn't able to pay for it. I rarely wince looking at gruesome texts or images, but this got me, I absolutely despise the psychiatric profession and the modern mental-healthcare system. God willing we'll have a nuremburg for psychiatrists one day.

I wish I was a canadian boy. Growing up in an average suburban area, with lots of snow and a handful of good friends. I'd eat pancakes on a friday morning with syrup and get all excited to meet the boys this evening for board games, comfy movies and hot chocolate as I take a bus ride to school and watch how the glittery white snowflakes fly right past me to turn my surroundings into a beautiful, dreamy winter landscape.
Entering the class room I immediately catch the gaze of my best friend, Tristan, who was thrilled to tell me that his cousin has the new dbz budokai tenkaichi 3 for ps2 which we could borrow for a day or two. Mom has packed me a chicken sandwich and a brownie for lunch. "Yumm", mumbled my pal next to me. We would talk about the latest episode of naruto and how we are so sick of all the fillers.
Class begins and our english teacher would hand out last week's tests. "Take that STEM fag!" he tells the first student as he points to the D- on his test. Me and the boys would start laughing and my smile only gets stronger as I receive my test result, knowing that I absolutely rocked it.
Immediately after school, Tristan calls up his cousin to drive us to his home. As promised, he brought the game with him. In the car we discuss what to do first once we get there and who would have to use the shitty off-brand gamepad. His parents greeted us with a warm hug - his mom has a comfy pair - and asked us what we would like for dinner.
As we are eating pizza, playing D&D and laughing at the hilariously badly scripted horror movie, a feel of endless satisfaction and pure, genuine happiness overwhelms me. "This is it", I'd think to myself, "this is the life".

Depends on how hard I go at it. 20 minutes to an hour usually gets me satisfied. I've never had to wait for a refractory period, so I can cum every half minute if I want to, but my dick would still get raw if I continue too long, which I don't believe would be healthy in the long run.

The orgasm gap refers to how men cum practically every time they have sex, while the same is not true for women. It's part nature, since the male orgasm is more important and designed not to take too long, and because women can be satisfied with sex even if they don't cum in a way men typically can't. And it's part culture because of how female sexuality and pleasure has often been viewed historically, women having been notoriously ignorant of their own bodies and their men not caring enough to bother. So closing the orgasm gap refers to how we should put the female orgasm on equal footing with the male dito, for women, but especially men, to take more care that the woman gets to cum as well.

I‘m disgusted. I feel tainted by him. He destroys my carefully built up purity. Every time i‘m with him i have to start from scratch again. One can‘t get very far like that.
I also taint my purity by stuffing my face with disgusting food. Or by butchering my skin. But usually i do those things because being around him has destroyed the purity i built up and then it‘s „the city is already burning, so why not add some fuel to that and make it count“. So the question is, how can i prevent the city from catching fore in the first place? The obvious answer would be to stay away from him. But that‘s not so easy. After all i depend on him. And the kids love him. It would be cruel. And somehow i think i would miss him if he was actually gone. He‘s not a bad man at all. He‘s good looking, i know that. Very well. Too well for my liking actually. He makes a lot of money. I really got used to the luxury lifestyle. He‘s trying hard to not be a moron. That‘s the most i have ever seen a man do. I have never met a man who actually wasn‘t a moron. So him trying to not be one is already better than anyone else i know. Including females. They aren‘t any better. I know nobody i look up to. Imm disgusted by all of them. Most of all i am disgusted with myself. But somehow i still feel superior for at least seeing the filth. It makes me feel like i can conquer it. Cleanse it. Rip it out. I want purity. I want to feel like freshly washed white bed sheets drying in the blazing sun and slowly dancing in the wind. I won‘t settle for anything less. I will vomit every disgusting thing inside of me into those words until everything is purged from me. I expect these notes to become ratchet and full of filth. That‘s good. When i‘m done it will feel like taking a huge dump. Relieved and clean. Sometimes i relive really good dumps hours after having taken them and revel in the wonderful empty feeling it has left behind. I love the ones that really stink the most. They happen when i was eat good. I supposed it‘s all the accumulated waste my body was able to get rid of. It‘s also when my piss smells weird. Almost sweet. Nauseating but very satisfying. I always imagine that it smells like that because my body was able to clean out a lot of old poison.

The light of God no longer shines into my eyes
The love for which I paid the price
That beauty was stronger when I cried
Out of pain, into misery
So the rains weep over the tranquil lake
Alive below but empty-surfaced
Leaving no trace that the inside is fake
Stirring below and empty-faced
Chemical transcendence destroys my mirror image
My sleep is a castle, yet I dream of a bitter village
Better to pre-judge the unruly masses of emotions that might appear
Than to feel their weight in the foundations of what the mind calls 'here'
Broken, bent and brittle

Two false assumptions:

1. Humankind can be improved intellectually, morally and physically.
2. Society is meritocratic, people who work hard succeed.

The reality:

- Success doesn’t always go to the wise, victory doesn’t always go to the strong, the innocent are wrongly accused and the wicked prosper.

- Because we imagine that intelligence, strength and moral goodness are going to have positive results, we read self-help books and go wrong in choosing what is best for us in general.
- We need to take a step back from our own ideas, and learn to be skeptical of successful people. It’s convenient of them to tell us that their success is a result of their virtues, but it probably isn’t true; they probably stole along the way.

- It is important to note that it is deeply cruel to the world’s poor, imprisoned, weak, and needy to suggest that their failures are deserved and lie with a lack of morals, intellect, or physical fitness. Even if that were true, they didn’t ask to be born like they are, or born any other way.

- Political talking heads reinforce assumptions 1 and 2 because it makes their paymasters in the political system look like they are doing a good job. Case in point is how the Chinese Communists make everyone in China undergo a standardized test, which if students pass with a high enough grade, the Communist Party will pay for their education anywhere in the world. The reason the Chinese do this is simply to discredit malcontents; if you say that the reason you didn’t get ahead is because the Chinese Communist Party is corrupt, they can retort that the real reason is because you’re lazy or stupid or both.

- In reality this narrative of meritocracy and self-help encourages active or passive cruelty; it allows the middle class, the Outer Party for all practical purposes, to discriminate against Proles and think of them as less human. This allows middle class people to think uncritically about the orders given to them by the Inner Party elites. It’s a tactic similar to that used by plantation owners of old; by promoting certain slaves and giving them greater autonomy and privileges, they become lapdogs of established authority. Tell those slaves that they are better than the others, and they will ruthlessly defend you.

- The truth of the matter however, is that middle class people are, in the grand scheme, nearly as poor as the people they help oppress. Their lives are made more tenuous than the lives of the poor, simply because they have a carrot of hope dangled before them.

You're making ant hills out of mountains. It's understandable especially being stuck in a place without much privacy. Why not kickstart your endocrine system.

Have you ever walked into a bookstore, opened a history book and seen your father and grandfather in it? It puts the thought in your head that, if you work hard enough, you'll be standing there beside them in the next edition. That's not the case. It's not his fault, it's not my fault. It's not anyone's fault really, it's the nature of the world. He's an incredible father, and now that I'm an adult he's a wise -and fun- friend. But living in the greatness of his shadow is painful. I can't complain because there is nothing to complain about. Life happens. I always assumed it would, that's what the stoics tell you to practice, isn't it?

Been thinking about rules for grilling when I either go to someone's house and take my grill or when I grill at my own place and invite people over. Going to hand these out next time either occurs.

1. Do not ask how much time is left on the cook.
2. Do not give any input on how anything is cooked.
3. Do not open the grill to look at whatever is being cooked.
4. Do not touch the grill.
5. Do not touch what is on the grill.
6. Do not touch cooking utensils unless specifically asked or offered.
7. Do not challenge any decisions made by the grill operator.

I don't want to stick up for her but she's being ignored completely. This dude is not even close to being even remotely in touch with her. He is a simp and you are defending him. Could this woman simply be a soulless roastie and a gold-digging whore? Sure. But consider what that makes the rich man who chooses to simply marry a hole. From what I read that's all she is to him. It's pathetic. He has good looks and money and instead of willing the stars and fate towards his favor, he lazily chooses a hole he is entirely out of sync with to consummate with. She's nothing to him worse he tortures her. No amount of credit card allowance makes up for it. Good dad? Fuck you! He would have had to have been a good dad regardless of the whore he married. That's a given and no point of merit. I detest simps, they fuck the game up for the all the real niggas so I gotta side with the money-grubbing whore at this point. Anyone who sticks up for someone who doesn't even want to be a good lover is a simp. If you call yourself a man but don't want to satisfy your woman, fuck not just your woman but your wife, shit not just your wife but the mother of the kids you love so much, then you are not a man.

La manière dans laquelle elle m'avait regardé, et à travers laquelle je m'étais vu, était complètement nécessaire pour ma compréhension de moi-même pendant cette époque-là. Il semble que je pourrait savoir cela seulement après avoir mort—je n'étais jamais conscient de cela auparavant. C'est comme dirait Ellul : En vivant, on n'est pas vraiment conscient, et le passage vers la conscience élevée est aussi le passage loin de la vraie vie. Maintenant, dans la conscience du mort, je vois que mon identité auparavant vivante que nous avions construit et qui est été tué par notre rupture n'était jamais rien sauf qu'un mensonge pernicieux. Mes souvenirs de vivre me dégoutent maintenant. Ma vie ne me manque pas du tout. Mon ancienne copine, elle ne me manque pas beaucoup non plus. J'étais trop préoccupé de moi, quand nous étions ensemble, pour vraiment la connaître. Il faut qu'on connaisse vraiment soi-même avant de connaître tout autre. Mais, je me sens comme un fantôme maintenant. Apres avoir mort, rien. Exactement comme le mort, j'imagine. Exactement comme ce que l'on l'imaginerait.
>Je vais sortir ma ville natale dans deux mois. J'espère qu'une nouvelle vie attend, que le ciel ouvrira, qu'il existe dans la vie plus que des mensonges.

it's a mixed bag. KInd of average and dull if I'm being honest, although it highly depends where exactly you live obviously.
Germany has a pretty high standard of living compared to other western countries but it does have its downsides, like the weather for example. Right now we're being hit by a big heatwave. It was 36°C yesterday and there's hardly any snow during winter. This wasn't the case 10 years ago. Climate change is a bitch.
Cities like Berlin or Hamburg have a pretty big club/rave culture but it's currently being crushed by gentrification, so there's that.

This is healthier even if it seems more strenuous. Younger people don't know how to process their emotions. So to them every bad emotion is an armageddon. As I've gotten older and mellowed out a bit, I see my emotions for what they are. Humans are only constituted to be capable of a limited range of emotions, and I've more or less experienced them all to varying degrees of intensity and frequency. There are no more surprises and it would take much more than it used to in order to floor me.

The downside of this is that fluttering, buoyant, thrilling frisson at being alive that sometimes overtakes the young is harder to achieve now. With maturity comes a certain emotional sobriety.

>This is probably why you think short posts aren't good because you didn't do the reading.
I never said they weren't. They can be. It's strange that you think *only* short posts are good or that long posts have their length because they're regurgitating some kind of summary instead of building upon several insights to generate something greater. Sure, cut the fluff, but I like journeys.

Most great physicists up till the 20th century at least respected philosophy. They had some intellectual humility. As a philosopher, I find myself tittering at how completely misguided contemporary physicists are. They can do the math but they can't "do the math about the math" and see how their methodology is limited. And I don't mean anything from a postmodernist perspective about power or social relations. I just mean that physicists don't know what a theory is, or have any comprehension that science is a subcategory of philosophy, namely a pragmatiicist and empiricist one. Yet their heroes such as Einstein were reading Kant as young boys and it informed their entire thinking. I view these intellectual poseurs with nothing but the most vehement of contempt.

anon, speaking as someone who actually has a knowledge of physics, I think you're adjacent to the real problem. The problem is not "how do we know things?" but "how do we teach people to understand the mathematics properly"

from what I've seen, your average physicist knows the math but he doesn't know how to interpret it. When he sees a tensor in an equation he sees the mathematic abstraction but he doesn't see what the indexes of the tensor represent because he's insulated himself from the problem.

by contrast, a great physicist needs to be able to intuit what the equations they work on are representing. if they just see it as a math problem they can perform experiments but they can't get answers for themselves. I don't think universities are teaching that which ends up being a contagious lack of understanding

nothing anon. the role of the president isn't to cure a disease it's to make sure the country is prepared for an outbreak, and has qualified professionals guiding the relife effort

it is NOT the goal of the president to gut the programs meant to prevent a virus outbreak, skip briefings, ignore experts, profiteer off off-label uses of medications that make the people who take it sicker, and sacrfice people to the economy like it's a fucking pagan harvest god.

Hydroxychloroquine isn't patented, and costs $15. No one is getting rich off it, but maybe that is the problem.

It's a good question. I think it has to do with the general tendency to structure education in purely vocational terms. Physicists graduates these days, as I understand it, are more likely to enter finance as quants or the tech industry than they are to study atoms. Back in the day there were less physicists and there was also a massive push toward cracking the atom and understanding the fundamental forces of nature. It wasn't just academic; governments subsidized the effort because they thought it would win wars and defeat their rivals. These days physics is just a way to learn applied math and then the next step is to apply it to finance or tech to make money.
>a contagious lack of understanding
But this is all about what I'm talking about. You can't understand the totality of physics within physics. You need to step outside of it and see how it is situated within the rest of the sciences and within the rest of thought in general. I think physics is highly intellectually demanding and to comprehend its most difficult mathematics probably takes up most of the mental resources of many of its students. But the true achievers should have more polymathic ambitions.

Those are space blankets, they're form keeping people warm in cold conditions. They use them in emergencies usually, like when they rescue somebody who was lost in the woods. It's not bad that they're using them per se, but it does suggest that that big warehouse is incredibly cold and that they don't have actual beds.
