I imagine that I’ll end up killing myself eventually. I’m not feeling suicidal at the moment, although I’ve felt that way in the past. However, I am nonetheless certain that I will die by my own hand. Probably a few decades down the line, in early middle age. I will accomplish little as a scholar. My works will, at best, be respected by the few whose interests are niche enough to have discovered my name. If anything like /lit/ still exists, I will be the kind of thinker who’s books are only brought up as additional readings for obscure schools of thought. I will probably never have a family. Not because I don’t want one- there is little in this life I want more- but because I don’t deserve one. I may marry, but any woman fool enough to do so will sooner or later realize her mistake and leave. I will be lost to time. Neither remembered by those close to me (there will be no such people by the end) nor remembered for my work by anyone except a few specialized scholars. My death will grieve no one but the lord. Why couldn’t I have been born a better man?

Go to the local garbage dump, or walk down the street, and take a look at all the plastic that lay there. And then go to the beach and look at the rubbish and know that there was more before that the tides have taken and eroded and the fish have eaten. And check out how almost every person drives a car and if you dare put your nose up to the exhaust. So, yes. The thing is, if it is urgent like they say, there is almost nothing we can do. And if it isn't, it WILL happen eventually, and it will get worse as we go on. Climate change is hardly the worst aspect.

Think about this.
Elon Musk said that IF all new car production turned electric right now, it would still take 20 years or more to make all cars electric, because a car can last 20 years so the old gas models would be floating around for a while. And we are nowhere near doing that. So theer will be major carbon output for another 50-60 years or more.
All the shrill climate people were saying we only have ten years to turn it around etc, giving way too specific timeframes and making wild claims. If we only have 10 years then it's already over isn't it? They have no idea what they are doing or saying.

When I was at school 25 years ago we were shown textbooks with half of London underwater in 50 years due to sea level rise. We're now halfway there and there isn't a square mile of London underwater.
These people have been claiming the sea level would rise by like two feet per year but now it's changed to 1cm in 100 years. Even that is questionable because how in the fuck would people measure the depth of the sea that accurately 100+ years ago? This shit is all over the place.

Frater I have a concrete question. I'm swedish. What I've heard from my dad is that gypsies used to live in some form of symbiosis with local communities when he was a kid, in that they actually provided services (I believe it was mainly to do with re-tinning pots, or something like this). So they went to a town, did the pots, then went to the next and rotated like that. Now with the EU we have very large amounts of bulgarians and romanians. I don't mind them to be honest, I haven't heard anything convincingly raised against them (of course there are people with a clear racism, but I have yet to encounter a single concrete case of any real wrongdoing, really). What is often said though is that what looks like stray ladies begging at grocery store-entries are in fact organized gangs, so that the individual beggars are aggregated upwards and are really, in a way, on the clock. So it is said that these women are abused in a kind of slavery, or something like it. Do you think this is likely? Some people don't want to give anything because they feel they are getting scammed. I usually think that no one would choose to sit on their ass and say "hej hej" 9 hours a day for the rest of their life if they had literally any option, so I reckon it's fair to give to those women. But are they pawns do you think? Are they being used?

You have every reason to be neurotic anon, but also every reason to transcend neurosis. You must decide what kind of person you want to be: somebody weak unable to withstand the terrors of the world, or somebody who finds somehow the strength to mould themselves into a man of action regardless. You must decide whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them etc.

Is it possible to actually transcend neurosis? Yes it is, but the path is different for everybody. And transformation is impossible without anxiety. But it is possible.

I have become better and better at catching my own tenseness. Like I'll be in the middle of something random and then catch how shallow my breath is and then realise that I've been keeping my entire body tense for no reason. I'll take some proper deep breaths and I'll feel my entire body relax and my mind relax too. I think that I've been incredibly tense my entire life and that it has had some effect on my general stress and negativity levels. Strangely I didn't realise this was a problem for me until I visited a physio for something unrelated and he commented on how tense my body was. He taught me how to breathe deeply from my diaphragm and I realised that I don't think I'd ever actually breathed from my diaphragm ever in my entire life. I immediately felt all the muscles in my body loosen and I felt instantly a little bit happier. I wonder how many other anons could benefit in some small way from paying more attention to their breathing? I don't mean that in a condescending way, I'm genuinely amazed at how big of a difference it makes to day to day life.

What do you think of the idea that writers, and artists generally, are bound by fate to the nation of their birth to a greater degree than normal people? It’s pretty obvious that it’s difficult for normal people even to integrate and be accepted into a new culture and that seems doubly so for artists. It’s hard to imagine an eccentric artist who is taken seriously as a cultural contributor in a country where they didn’t grow up (outside of the US and maybe UK).

>nepotism is great
Great when it works for you, terrible when it doesn't. It's an inefficiency in any organization and actively undermines the sense of fairness vital to any group of people with an established hierarchy. When you let nepotism run wild you get a middle management class of ineffectual bureaucrats who are more concerned with establishing and maintaining a social structure than doing any actual work. When you promote your friends you're sending the message that your main function at work is to make friends, because friends are what get you promoted. It's really just another way unqualified extr*verts maintain their indefensible stranglehold on their introverted superiors. The world would be a 10000x better place if we subjugated the extroverted, gladhanding little social climbers. The fact of the matter is that extroversion is no longer biologically useful. Extroverts' dominance is predicated upon—essentially—an anachronistic "backdoor" into the human mind; namely, our vulnerability to charisma and social status. These things have no use anymore, and without them we would be a calmer, more rational, and ultimately more peaceful species. People who disagree are extr*verts who have literally only themselves in mind.

Nepotism is the counterpart of inherited wealth. Most people who benefit from it inherit the social stratum and reputation of their parents, are exposed to the same circles that the children of the wealthy were born into and therefore their networks, and it all feeds back into itself. Does anybody think Jared Kushner is objectively worth $800 million? That he would have that if he wasn't born into the elite?

So classism is an inextricable predictor of life outcomes. Social mobility is in the all time gutter, if anything you can expect to do worse than your parents. And networking is reciprocal. Nobody will network with you unless they can expect to receive something in return, which means unless you have extraordinary charms and social skills or the people you network with find you physically attractive, you're out of luck.

What you actually mean is that it's easier to make a personal profit when you take advantage of how fucked up the world is. Trying to turn it into some kind of """"coming of age"""" dynamic related to maturity is just an intellectually bankrupt position to take. If you like the way things are and are in a position to take advantage of it, that's on you. It's none of my business. But when you twist it into some kind of vague moral superiority insinuation, that's slimy as shit. This is a mechanism by which the spectacle reinforces itself.

Don't need to change myself, if that were the case I wouldn't have to worry about networking, only my own skills and merits as an individual . It's literally about changing the world--i.e changing how other people in the world in the world value the fact of your existence, networking.

It's a basic outcome of social inequality. The more pyramidal the pecking order, the less the networking value of the majority of people the more fewer individuals are impactful to be connected to and the more disproportionate the benefit of being connected to them.

Conrad, I think, was a product of “right place, right time” in a literary sense. This was a guy who just happened to be a Merchant Mariner and just happened to be sailing into Africa with the British Navy at the peak of the British Empire.

Regardless, for all of these figures there’s a sort of dynamism either to their own lives or things going on in the world which lend themselves to their contributing literature to a place, and often not even in that place’s language. It’s hard for me to imagine today like some, I don’t know, Italian moving to Korea and becoming a well-received in Korean.

Nabokov wrote in English in America. Conrad wrote in English too. They're both best known for their English works, with their original language being "literally who?" tier. Augustine had to write in classical languages or he just wouldn't have been a scholar. Hearn sells mostly in English, but he started life in Greek and ended it full weeb. Marx wrote English language articles for the US, but he's also probably more available in translations due to the Russians than any other market because where else required reading him. Houellebecq is called France's biggest literary export for a reason, being the French version of the "in my country this man is nothing" meme.

[Frater Asemlen !XS8vrClKs2 No.17679132]

>>17677314
>Frater I have a concrete question. I'm swedish. What I've heard from my dad is that gypsies used to live in some form of symbiosis with local communities when he was a kid, in that they actually provided services (I believe it was mainly to do with re-tinning pots, or something like this).

Gypsy depending on Zagono/local customs usually have a primary job which everyone usually has the same of. In Germany it’s often related to carpets these days, russian Gypsy are usually related to the automotive industry in some regard, a decent chunk of Gypsy do metal refinishing and the like. This isn’t as innocent as It seems because this is usually a decent way to get in, have the woman do a psychic scam and perhaps steal or scam in some regard. Usually this is where we’d befriend the people and just keep raising prices and make the folks there require more and more work. It’s really not as nice as it sounds.

>What is often said though is that what looks like stray ladies begging at grocery store-entries are in fact organized gangs,

Certain groups of Gypsy do beg on the streets as a manner of scamming, having decent to high amounts of wealth but making themselves and their children look poor as a means of gathering money.

>so that the individual beggars are aggregated upwards and are really, in a way, on the clock.

On a family to family level basically along with some regulations on where they can do it but the specifics of these regulations are pretty local a matter.

>So it is said that these women are abused in a kind of slavery, or something like it. Do you think this is likely?

Nah, not abused in slavery, more like they’re not that poor and they have worked out a system of begging and this is just a common thing done for these groups. My Group of Gypsy would never be caught dead begging due to pride but others just use it as a business.

>Some people don't want to give anything because they feel they are getting scammed.

A good deal of them probably are getting scammed, not to say there’s no one actually needing to beg but a lot of it is done on purpose. In fact making sure the bride you get for your son isn’t a beggar in the streets and actually does something more respectable like a psychic scam or the like is pretty important since no one would want the shame of doing begging in our group. But again, other Gypsy groups organize that stuff.

> I usually think that no one would choose to sit on their ass and say "hej hej" 9 hours a day for the rest of their life if they had literally any option,

I mean in a way they don’t because Gypsy by and large only do a handful of job options as their law states or they’ll basically be shamed/mocked, there’s also the lack of education. So yeah they don’t really have any more choice than say some of the Gypsy groups which solely break and enter into homes.

I am developing an almost pathological racial inferiority complex. Being a second-generation immigrant in America I feel completely detached from the wider white culture here. It's no consolation saying "but America is a nation of immigrants! You're welcome here", because those immigrants were of a Germanic, Anglo-Saxon origin, whereas my race is Uralic. My feelings of alienation might be similar to what Italian immigrants felt when they came to America, but at least they had large numbers, a strong culture, and a homeland with a history to be proud of. My nation on the other hand is tiny and has produced nothing of note in history or culture.
I don't know why I keep obsessing over this instead of living my life as an individual. It's getting to the point now where I'm having thoughts of worthlessness.

If you imbibe in the Anglo-European Scientism that gave us racialism (see the full title of Darwin’s books) then naturally you’re going to deep and sharp divisions which can’t be transcended everywhere but the thing you don’t have to participate in that paradigm.

I woke up from a wierd one a little while ago.
My family home was next door to house where the Rothschilds lived, over the wall. For some reason they just had a normal house that was extra big, not a giant fancy mansion.
We decided to go to a theme park, and my mother drove us there in a Ferrari/Lambo type sports car. My mother paid for our entry at a toll booth at the entrance, and I got out just as the booth guy was giving my mother her change. She sped off suddenly before he could give it to her, the front wheel hit a kerb and the car flipped over dramatically. I ran over and flipped it back with my bare hands like superman, and it wieghed about as much as a frisbee.
My mother was passed out in the front seat, and my grandfather was pretending to be passed out in the front passenger side. I tried to turn off the engine but I couldn't reach the key as the car was crumpled, and for some reason the steering wheel was a big rapidly spinning circular saw blade. My mother eventually woke up, reached under the spinning blade and turned off the engine.
After the accident other customers of the park gathered round as we waited for the emergency services, and were talking to us about the accident. People were impressed at how I saved the day, but for some reason there were more people trying to talk to my brother despite him not doing anything. Some womans little kid said I was a great hero.

I used to love my life, the people I shared it with and that beautiful ambition woven in between the various larger than life celebrations, the endless joy and the everlasting feeling of belonging. But eventually, as seasons went past, people perished against time, the celebrations stagnated, the seasons of joy turned to ever darker melancholy and I found myself alone, the connections that had previously woven me in with the rest had vanished. Now I am rotting away in a place where I once belonged, not able to connect in times of celebrations, unable to share in the joy, unable to hold the line against my last true ambition.

Their inability to grasp the seriousness of what is going on is killing me inside, the stories are collapsing, their narratives imploding on themselves. There is a truth out there now, coddled together by leaks and whistleblowers, a story about incompetence and arrogance.

We will not survive unless the machine acknowledges its failures and decides to rebuild what was once there, dignity, honour and the rest once associated with democratic leadership. The propaganda is intensifying, the narratives weaker than ever and yet they feel emboldened by the chaos, emboldened by the confused state of the individuals that make up our society. People are consumed by the weakest of narratives, the poorest understandings. It's killing us, one narrative at a time, we need to face reality or we will spiral into absolute chaos. If only the machine would stop to realize, realize the truth will outweigh the sins of the past, realize we are with them, realize we will fight alongside them, realize we are not the enemy in this godforsaken information war.

One day, one day they will realize and it will be too late.

for context wrote this 3 years ago what do you think(still believe this way)

Hello, I am a eighteen year-old white nationalist. 1488. I am writing this to explain to myself and anyone interested what has lead me to this path. In order to understand where I am now, and to allow others to question and understand it. In my mind, white nationalism and white superiority have been so heavily cemented into my psyche that any other point of view seems preposterous and delusional. It all seems so simple and obvious that I question how could anyone have missed such obvious facts?

It’s suffice to say that I wasn’t raised to be racist, certainly the complete opposite. Adult figures and schools always pushed the idea that everyone is equal, the church pushes the idea that everyone is equal under God, the idea that everyone should be judged upon their own merits. This is of course a good idea, but it doesn’t serve us well in this multicultural society. We have problems that must be solved, we have no time for mercy and grace. The self-hatred and guilt that has been bred among my people, the ever-present threat of the rampant crime of “minorities”, and the slow replacement of native whites in their home countries in the name of equality and tolerance.

Tolerance, this word has become a buzzword for ignoring self-inflicted problems. Tolerate the illegal mexican gangs, tolerate the criminal blacks, tolerate the corrupt politicians and lying media. How long must we tolerate these injustices forced upon us by our government and our own self-delusions? Tolerate is a good word to describe it I think, meaning to put up with, not to accept. But I think it is time we accepted the facts and stop putting up with it and dispel our fantasies.

I got a little off topic, but back to trying to simplify that enormous amount of information and experiences that have formed my world-view. I will attempt to do this by pinpointing certain facts that are the core of my beliefs, and then providing evidence for these.

The inherent differences between the races, the fact that we will never truly trust those different from us, that we are most comfortable with those who are like us in skin color, ideology, and culture.

The rampant idea that whites are “privileged” and should feel sorry for it. Yes, our people built this country for us, their descendents. It’s crazy that “minorities” try to trick white people into feeling sorry for their blessings. We should be proud of our past and rebuke those who would try to profit from our greatness. Yes, they feel like they don’t belong in this country, they feel like we profit from the systems of this country, like we are holding them down, however untrue this is, that’s how it should be.

The destruction of the family and everything sacred. The morally bankrupt society that we live in disgusts and angers me to no end. They wish to tear down the foundations of my society, my way of life, we are not blind. They seek to destroy white people. They hate white people. EVERYTHING sacred has been corrupted, subverted, and made to be evil or boring. The family has been torn apart with the ease of no-fault divorce, the rampant fornication, vote given to women mean that politicians no longer support the family but the individual. The traditional roles of men and women have been destroyed, and men and women are reasonably confused. All of this leads to a poorer quality of society, where marriage is no longer binding, and kids do not have a stable and loving home. Men and women no longer maintain their purity and do not respect themselves, their bodies, and no longer respect the consequences of such a lifestyle. Fornication is a grave sin that corrupts the mind and the body.

Writing all of this down makes me realize the truly grave state that we are in. Very saddening.
Essentially the modern state of religion, family, relationships, how we view our history, our country, our values, every single thing that is holy, good, and sacred has been corrupted.

What do I want? I want a country, a world, filled with good intelligent people. Filled with those with a love for life, their family, and their country. In order for this to be achieved we must be ethnically homogenous, multiculturalism will never bring about good things. The only thing that it brings about is money. Disgusting greed drives this nation, it drives the people who control it all. The ones who control the population, the media, and the colleges. They control the people who push these awful ideas. The Jews. Who knows why they do it? I certainly haven’t figured it out. Why do they own the media, the government, the institutions? To brainwash us with their subversive and corrupting ideas.

Whenever I hear people talk about Neon Genesis Evangelion, it’s always about the characters, the plot points, are the crosses incidental or aren’t they? What nobody ever seems to talk about is it’s prescience, it’s masterful setting and ambience, and it’s scope. Moving chronologically, Evangelion came on the scene at the mid-to-tail end of era still in awe of the mechanization deployed during the 20th century. The shock and awe that followed the world wars, the atomic bombing of Japan, and the rapid advancement of industrial technology, space exploration, and warfare brought with it a fascination and dystopian optimism that was perfect for the mecha genre, back before mankind got sucked into the the abyss of online information technology and back when giant biomechanical humanoid robots was a science fiction concept seemingly not so farfetched. The Gundam series encapsulated the aesthetic perfectly with its focus on human war efforts, global, post-national war, and the merging to man and machine into a new Faustian myth which brought the sheer terror and might of this total mobilization into the stars. Yet, in Evangelion we see the celestial myth totally removed. Japan was riding an economic high at the end of the 20th century just before the economic ceiling caved in between 1989 and 1992. Just a few years later, the religious cult Shoko Asahara had unleashed their bioterrorist campaign which included deadly sarin gas attacks, culminating in the attack on the Tokyo subway. Of note here is is the religious aspect and the first notable instance of biological terrorism in Japan using weapons which could create mass casualties. Then in 1995, a series of yearly earthquakes ended with the Great Hanshin Earthquake, killing over 6,000 people. Underneath the face of public sentiment at the time, was a sense that Japan had fallen into a perceived state of despair. The ceiling has fallen, the sky was falling after it.

It was then that Evangelion was released to public audiences in 1995. The world still coming to terms with the mass deployment of the 20th century, Neon Genesis Evangelion evangelized the existential struggle of the Japanese people and depicted a world in apocalyptic disorder, after the second impact. Using the old, the very old, as old as the Old Testament to tie back current and future questions, Neon Genesis Evangelion created a world of immense silence, unpopulated by once human inhabitants and gave the impression that truly something had happened. Here we are picking up the pieces, or rather, just trying to survive. In this sense Evangelion is like snapshot of the mind and spirit of the world at large of the time, but especially the Japanese - people feeling like the world was ending, things making less and less sense, still struggling with existential questions but now on a global scale. The series answers the question “what do you do when the world, the real world, is fractured and broken and escape into imagination no longer a possibility” and offers a vision of an apocalyptic world where the world narrative is bright down to the level of interpersonal relationships. The fate of the story in Evangelion is the fate of Shinji Ikari, and the fate of the world at large is also the fate of Shinji Ikari. The people around him and relationships he has with them are the world. It brings the horizons of the narrative down to the personal and interpersonal. All of this coupled with a soundtrack that is still memorable several decades later and which lent itself to a degree of immersion not otherwise seen in the medium to that point, Evangelion created a work of art which rose far above the medium it canvas it was painted on. Almost as if everything came together just right, Evangelion is one of those works that whether by purpose or circumstance is more than mere entertainment and is instead truly a post-modern work of art.

If someone can be misinterpreted as much as Nietzsche supposedly is, would he not consider that a 'virtue' on his behalf? He has mentioned that he is misunderstood by many and that there is also a 'we' that is misunderstood along with him. In a passage in the Gay science he talks about vanity has a substance of artists, and I thought, is it the vanity and the contradiction that lets them create in the first place? The discordance that makes art? And, in the epilogue in my version of the Gay Science he finishes with the sentiment that the listener/reader may still enjoy, even without understanding the words, his songs. Is it in the contradiction of Nietzsche that we find him? He does talk about how he changes his opinions and how he grows and we can see also his coming into madness. Even the process of 'understanding' follows the same contradictory (or maybe not) unfolding of back and forth between page and note and supplementary work and posting here. But where does it become a desperate search and not just the free flowing hand? And he claims that Plato was physically better constituted than us yet we can now 'enjoy' the Dionysian music - is this a reference to the potentially cyclical unfolding as well? The eternal recurrence is also evidence of this. And his mentions of the seasonal artist. The understanding is in the beginning as it is in the end? Take from Nietzsche what your ears would take from music?

I think you're missing his point and therefore the joke. It's not nationalism or state cultural institutions that is driving the wave of art then. Sforza is not loyal to Milan, Milan is loyal to Sforza. It's a very personal aggrandisement, because Sforza, not Milan, is the embodiment of the Duchy. States survive in their patron at the time, so calling the patronage a state cultural institution or calling the patron patriotic or nationalist is a fundamental misunderstanding of the body of the state, in the same way that referring to a unified Italy before the modern era is an absurdity.

I have barely read anything in months.

On the other hand, I started my newest book recently, a swath of my big story. Since January 1st I have written more than 35,000 words. And even more in some other projects of mine.

I got a Great Texts degree for my undergrad. I am currently getting an MA in English Literature. I LOVE literature. I love books, I love stories and poems. But I increasingly think that I have read what needs to be read and I don't have time for more. I'm a writer and a poet. I've had multiple short stories and poems published. I am currently working on a story cycle that, if I pull it off properly, will be my greatest work, and which has already been praised by absolute strangers when I have shown them samples of it.

I feel like I don't have the capacity to read long books anymore because I am SO consumed with this big story of mine. Because I am so consumed with writing in general. Do you know what occupies my waking thoughts? My story. I think of plotlines, of characters, of themes. Of snippets of dialogue. Of the long-term fates of every character I am planning to write, and my cast of characters is greater than a dozen. And I want to portray every single one of them intimately, in a way where you feel that you know them like a real person. And I must tell such a grand tale, and such a long tale, too. Spread across multiple works. AND I have to write both prose and verse.

My brain is just working too hard. I am increasingly coming to that conclusion. I am so driven towards, and devoted to, my big story that I do not have the mindpower to devote to reading. I read a lot, once upon a time. I cannot read now. I have too much writing to do. My task calls me forward and I must answer its call, relentlessly.

if it is indeed as the feminists say and preferences are culturally acquired, wouldn't that mean that it is the right of each parent to culturally condition their daughter any way they want? like if it's all just conditioning, then condition away by all means.

So if you consistently find geneder differences, generation after generation, day after day, and conditioning is inherently either equal on all sides and/or playing God, then why not just let people raise their daughters as daughters? The real problem here is that human societies can only have so many norms. There can only be one mainstream, and it will shame the others.

give thou me the White which adorns the free
as they dwell ever in eternity!

Illumine thou the dreaded Tartaros
filled with laments of oblivion’s ghosts
weeping for their now-forgotten sorrows

Illumine thou the Purgatorial Coasts
where the soul’s purple robes are paled of Shame
and are made the same as the Starry hosts

illumine thou the Firmament of Flame
where dwell seraphim and spirits of light
who ever worship the Christ’s secret name

reveal to me the mysteries of Rust,
and the long lost verses of Orpheus.
the ancient city which dwells in the Dust
seen only in the eye of Morpheus.

imbue my heart with Dawn’s own innocence,
with shining eyes lit until the evening.
in the night invite the Glowworm’s image
to enlighten the face of Erebus
which holds every star above the earth.
make my words as delicate as the dove
but ever drunken on divinity.

envelop my flesh with experience,
face and form transformed as in my dreaming
develop with deep darkness my visage,
my voice made the sounds of storms roaring thus
I may rejoice as they who know not birth.
then I may sing to the king whom I love,
Of Virgin womb, Bridegroom and Trinity.

come then! Daimon of delusive delight
with a strangeness seen not by human sight
of fiendish flowers infected with blight
fill my mind’s night with thy delusive Light
shining brighter than the empyrean height
of ultimate rewards of the Upright
fill my words with Divinized David’s Might!
fill my words with thy daimonic insight!
for then will be sacrificed as I write
I

I never delete anything on my phone.
I just discovered that WhatsApp stores all the voice audio files you've received. For fun I wanted to listen to old audio files, they are stored by date, I expected to hear my friends.
I just heard my two previous girlfriends speak to me, it felt as if I was hearing a ghost.
That was really odd and I don't know what to think of it, I had forgotten their voices, yet I immediatly recognized them when I heard them.

what does it feel to have a twin brother

[Anonymous No.17687395]

>>17687321
It’s like constantly having someone who is both a mirror of yourself and window to someone else. No matter how much you want to be a certain way or simply are a certain you implicitly feel yourself trapped to be like you are specifically in relation to them. You’re grateful to have them but also feel chained down by them. He’s the only person who gets me though like a brother and extremely close friend combined. I don’t know what it’s like to not have a twin brother so I can’t give you the answer you want I think.

I'm having a mental regression into my NEET years. I was one for almost a decade but then I decided to fix myself: got my countries' equivalent to GED, a fitness routine and into college. Tried my hardest my first three years (they take five here), doing almost nothing but studying, reading about related stuff, coding my own little projects. But now, I don't care about my degree at all, the problems they solve, work or anything. While in zoom lectures I just want to read, watch a movie, play bass or some videogame (I gave up both since I got in).
I can't stand teachers again, just like before quitting high school. My brain is again filled with immature voices saying stuff like "jesus, this is boring as fuck", "this teacher is a fucking fraud", "why are all the students pretending this is interesting?".
Maybe I don't actually like CS, it is soulless or I'm just tired, the point is I feel I have no energy to finish this thing. Maybe I just need a gf like you guys said.

Just had words with an old couple on the sidewalk. They saw me coming in their direction and felt the need to jump off the sidewalk into the mud so I could pass through while keeping 6 feet of distance. How rude it was of me to not jump into the mud to give them distance!

Honestly, fuck these people, fuck this town, fuck this country, fuck this whole Western civ madhouse. I’m done with these people and this whole damn thing.

[Anonymous No.17687628]

>>17687608
There was no traffic. We live in a college town out in the country. There’s a single sidewalk on the street surrounded by 3 feet of ice and mud on either side. We hardly even have any cases of the stupid coof here.

Either way. The question doesn’t make sense in this context. I don’t know why you’re even asking as if these peoples aren’t clearly just paranoid nutters like everyone else in this town.

[Anonymous No.17687706]

>>17687672
There's a polite way to pass people. If there is no way to tell which way traffic will flow, or there is no traffic, you are impolite for not taking their age into account. If you would have had to walk in the street with your back to traffic, they would have been impolite. The only impolite thing they did was pointing out you were rude.

[Anonymous No.17687763]

>>17687706
Of for fuck’s sake. You need your head examined honestly you stupid sheep. I’m a fully grown adult. I think I know how to pass someone “respectfully”. This was a wide sidewalk, wide enough that 3 people could easily walk single file. They were just upset it wasn’t 6ft per person and double masked. These are the same people that plaster their yards in “We believe...” signs and snitch on their neighbors for having Christmas dinner. You people have lost your goddamn minds in all honesty. I could really give a shit about the whole lot of you anymore to be honest. If the coof actually ripped through this place like wildfire, putting the Black Plague to shame, I now believe that would be a positive development.

[Anonymous No.17687960]

>>17687851
It’s one of those things where you’re grateful to have them but you also feel like you suffer a personal blow because they’re there, if that makes any sense. It’s like how part of what your defines you is how your relationships see you, but even more so the closer the relationship. Now, imagine as close as possible, I would think. It’s like this gift of having someone like you who gets you on one hand and having your identity very controlled by something else on the other. I feel like I won’t ever get to be how I actually am let alone how I want to be.
