I think it’s time for me to concede and finally say that vtubers are here to stay and will be the next step in anime and entertainment. Perhaps, hopefully, we will have /lit/ vtubers so the next generation will have a reason to read books. As well as religious vtubers so our faith of god will remain with us.

Dude nobody cares about vtubers. You guys and zoomers just inhabit this online reality where nothing else exists. Pokimane has 6.5M subscribers and has been around for 7 years. Almost no one IRL knows who she is. Yeah, they’re probably here to stay but simply put, “who tf cares?” As for the /lit/ vtubers, well that’s doubtful but look, /lit/ was competing with all kinds of other media long before vtubers.

Hentai used to be good. I'm convinced everything past-2010 is absolute shit, it isn't the lower production value, but just how everything is structured.

Modern hentai has no tone or characters, it is boring. With tone I mean, I just look at any hentai from 90-05 these hentais have a tone. Most of them don't take themselves too seriously as many of them have wacky tone shift during the middle of something horrible happening (La Blue Girl), while others focus on the horror (Kurohime), or experiment with something things (Bizarro Cage).

More importantly, they used to have a beginning, middle, and end. Half the modern hentais begin mid-rape and by the end, nothing has changed.
>"why complain? it just porn, don't think about, fucking retard"
It is a huge disservice to call hentai just porn. Porn is just people fucking, there is no fucking hentai because it isn't real, it is drawn, it has more common with regular anime than porn, it just a special type of anime. So, if you are going to waste manpower in animating it, I expect it to offer something that porn doesn't and post-2010 doesn't.
So, why do I prefer Ikusame Otome Valkyrie over any Blacked video? Because it has structure, characters, and setting.

Then there are characters of post-2010 anime, who all have no personality, "oh, no, no don't rape, nooooo!" and then they make ahegao face.
>"But you can't have personality within 15 minute shorts"
You can, but it actually requires effort, in Dragon Rider Lydia demonstrates more personality within the first 2 minutes of her screentime than most post-2010 hentai heroines do in 15 min.

That is all without mentioning the animation, hentai used to be really expressive was composed of small details that composed the complete picture of the gravity of the scene, but why do that, when you can just a slap a ahegao face.

It would be cool to promote my books after a livestream but if i went corporate I don't think they're keen on that but if I went indie I wouldn't have the managerial support.

Not him but the entire economy is fake. Real growth stopped 50 years ago and the entire financial sector is just making shit up. Capitalism has to invade new territories constantly to make up for its constant state of crisis, so the western capitalist economies turned themselves into invasive regimes that go and financially terrorize small countries until they capitulate, then suck the capital out of them in a vassal relationship. This can only go on so long, and on top of that it has hit a bunch of walls. A depression really should have happened in the 90s if anyone was paying attention but the fact that it didn't happen in 2008 is a testament to how little anything makes sense or matters, there is no tangible relation to real production or consumption anymore, the whole thing is smoke and mirrors. But even the smoke and mirrors game is about to run out. A truly massive depression is coming and the elites are scared so they are doing everything they can to shift into some kind of controlled situation where they can absorb the shocks of the lower classes freaking the fuck out and starving to death while taking minimal damage themselves.

(1/2)
I am first awakened by a knock on the door. All while hearing what seems to be a call between a relative and my father. Afternoon weather, grey sky, not much sunlight in my room. I stood up but I remained indifferent towards the commotion happening outside of my room, or maybe I pretend to do so. What seems to be a supposedly serene afternoon is disturbed by these knocks on my door, which—by now—has grown relatively louder than what I have heard when I first woke up. Each instance—as I have observed—is a set of three knocks before a short pause followed by another set of knocks. These knocks makes me anxious, hearing it from my bed brings me displeasure and makes me ask that whoever is behind these knocks has an ill-intent.
By now, I could've jumped from my window, escaping whatever is that that awaits me following these knocks, or I could just answer the door since they have been knocking for so long that it gives me an impression that it is something of urgency, something that needs me.
All of a sudden, a knock so strong that I've thought that it shook my whole room diverted my attention from my thoughts. Followed by a period of silence, my door is then kicked down. What guesswork I had done previously about the motives for these knocks are further narrowed down—they are out to get me.
Stood on my doorway are two burly men whose heads are leveled with the uppermost hinges of the doorframe. Both of them wearing shades, a cap, a chaleco, and both of them possess a neutral expression. "Are they here to sexually violate me?". Arms crossed, they broke their stance and proceeded to approach me. Both of them taking a hold of either one of my foot, then they quickly pulled me from my bed.
"Have I had any unpaid debts?" I asked myself. Then finally, seeing my aunt in front of the doorway, it has dawned upon me that all this was to make me pay for what I did last evening—melting the corningware lid

The men dragged me from my room and towards my dyke of an aunt. It is only then that I have noticed that I cannot feel both of my legs, if anything, they are heavy! I have also noticed that there is this sharp pain around my lower back. "Have I hit my lower back!?". It looks like I did and it looks like the men intended to do so when they pinned down both of my arms not a care about my legs. My aunt then nodded to the bearded man on my right. Noticing a bulge in one of his pockets he pulled out a smartphone. On it is a call voice call from my father. The man knelt while maintaining one of his foot on my forearm, making a quick swipe on his phone he then placed his phone a few centimeters from my face. I was then blown away by the barrage of slurs coming from my father, somewhat indecipherable, I could still recognize what slurs is he using by how crisp he pronounces it. From where I am lying, he seems rather angry about my destructive misdemeanor. Telling me how it was expensive, how it was bought after years of hard work, how it was...yada yada.
Pissed him off, told him that he values material objects more than his kinsmen. I must've closed my eyes out of anger since when I was finished about quarreling with my father, the call had already ended. The bearded man stood up and my aunt pulled something behind her back. It's the porcelainware with the melted lid. The men, further pushing their feet agaisnt my arms is enough for me to realize that I am up for a beating.

I closed my eyes

I braced my whole body

Then, I clenched my teeth

Aches of varying degree, sharp pangs of pain, numbness here and there
I had intended to count how many times was I hit with the porcelainware before it breaks but I had lost count after twenty-one. To my surprise, the porcelainware was still intact when my aunt was finished. Nonetheless, it left me as a wreck. My whole body was pumped, bruised all over. Tightness in my calf, burning pain in all of my joints. It made me wondered why my aunt didn't hit my head for once, why didn't she finished me? Only I had realized what was to come next when I had noticed that there are no longer any pressure on any of my arms. What feet was standing on my arms was replaced by loosened belts, by worn, crumpled pants—both men are in their underwear. This is too much.
All this could've been prevented if I had only read the warnings under the rubber lid. If I had not decided to bake some eggs last night. If I only had overcame the hunger the night before

I’m not sure what else you think life is like for a single guy with a shit job out in the country. Maybe if you had been there to give me advice when I was 16, I wouldn’t have ended up a socially awkward retard and deviant and maybe I’d be in a city somewhere with a half decent job.

He's happy to be able to be a dad. At a certain point in your life you realize your parents are just as fucked up as you, probably more, and you have to make a decision whether to keep blaming them forever or to forgive them (even if it's not "fair" and they "objectively" owe you more than you owe them and so on and so forth) and try to make it work. If you don't do the latter, some day you'll probably regret it. Those little moments of your mom or dad giving a shit about you, in the tiniest things, if they're at least half-decent and it's not some kind of secret evil mindfuck anyway (obviously some parents are truly beyond the pale), are important.

I just use this site and snapchat or my phones messenger. I haven't found a practical use for social media so you're probably in better shape than you think.
You know when I went to trade school in my early 20s tuition for the year was 11,000. I thought I'd never pay it off at 10 bucks an hour. Start investing. Keep writing. Keep improving. Find work. Now I see an amount like 11,000 and think nothing of it.
Of course, I have money because I don't spend it BUT the freedom is nice. Then again I'm 35 and single and outside of my books I have no living legacy. So despite all that we are not that different you and I.
I'm just a passing shadow in the end.

LOL it is Kiara. Her mother tongue is German and she's an English/Japanese secondary. I used to be really active trying to promote her work. She's a hard worker...but she puts out so much content I can't keep up. I think to get current I would need to watch about 40 hours of content and I only have max 20 hours of free time a week. I can't keep up.
But okay listen so I watch the first hour of her Q and A right? Right out the gate she's like I DON'T READ DON'T WRITE A STORY FOR ME (N-Not that..the idea...I mean...) I was like first off, you read the brothers Grimm fairytales in German and your debut was a fucking storybook. Second off you read social media, then read your past diaries, and you learned three languages...to read.
I think it might be that she's just not confident using English for heavy novel type reading but you just need to practice with it.
Just sit her down and make her watch that old PBS Reading Rainbow TV show that used to come on...end tangent.

Thanks. The story I've chosen is pretty short but there's a lot of hard choices to make because of the terseness and the ways the grammar needs to be adapted. Even the title, "Fürdés", is a bit of a challenge, because it is used in the sense of taking a dip in a lake, but "The Dip" sounds like some sort of tobacco brand, and "Bathing" evokes the image of an indoors bathtub. I'll need to consider what sounds good and also makes sense.

Anyone else into vaporwave here?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSiNijLmbxo

Nigger, I know it's just a bunch of editing of music someone already did and whatever, but it totally subverts the original material and brings out a mysterious and uncanny valley feeling. The style is more than a "criticism of capitalism" bullshit that soulless materialist Marxists who appropriate art for their pathetic political cult will tell you.

As for the feelings it brings out, it's the musical equivalent of low poly resolution, or more generally the feeling of an "unreachableness" or "incompleteness", like a distant landscape in the horizon that you can never reach no matter how far you run toward it. 'low poly resolution' has this feeling as well, doesn't it? An incompleteness of a "true" form. We are also often told that the aesthetic of vaporwave brings out nostalgia, but what more is nostalgia than the brain trying to reconstruct a severely faded memory? There in also lies an incompleteness and unreachableness. Anyways, I really like this stuff. It communicates something profound to me.

Welcome to seven years ago, my brother. I'm suffering a sort of plague that prevents me from enjoying anyone else's company, so not only is it difficult to feel horny, but I can hardly tolerate platonic friendships. I think something fucked up during my pubescent development, blocking my potential ability to give a shit about any sort of relationship. I can masturbate without much issue, but I am pretty sure I always jostle my cock first to get the blood flowing before I start watching porn, so I think I might not actually be too into a lot of porn as much as I'm just forcing myself to go through the motions. I wish desperately that I could tolerate other people, so that I might adequately feign a romantic relationship. At the very least, I've recently discovered I'm really into chubby girls, so my standards may have lowered themselves, relatively speaking, so maybe I can pretend I'm more sufficiently capable of enjoying easily accessible sex.

I don't really care about what they got but well-placed efforts should be rewarded, the system shouldn't fail anyone. If you meet expectations, it's normal to expect as much. About the quality of the papers of everyone, I care because it's how you become better. There are tips and tricks you can gain from observing other people that did well, that are worth much more than a few words of advice.

It'll hurt them in the long run, too. If you miscalculate something and your reasoning is wrong, you shouldn't have the points. If you do, you're tricked into believing you did great. Try to work with someone that has never been proved wrong and tell that person she's wrong, most of the times they're a pain in the ass to work with.

why do big companies support leftism? there's the immediate tactical angle of wanting to become more attractive to leftist consumers and employees. this isn't politically balanced because obviously leftists control all media and education making leftism the "cool" thing to think, and second of all because leftists are the most politicized people of all. thus far more likely to support gillette for taking a stand against "toxic masculinity", meanwhile rightists can't be bothered to switch razors over such a trifle.

another concern is simply general exposure and image formation. if a company were to not take a leftist stance they could be promoted less in media and they could quickly end up becoming uncool. say they don't come out in favor of BLM while everyone of their competitors do. some journalist calls attention to this, he gets clicks because people love to rage, tv writers see this, form bad will towards the company and thus may refrain from mentioning it in their shows or feature it in a negative way.

yet another motivation arises from the interplay between government and private business. big companies in the west often receiving government funding, government contracts, government grants etc. these are interactions that are extremely important for them. this of course varies by industry but it certainly applies to a number of them. here we have yet another potent valve through which leftism may seep into corporations driven by rational but hidden incentives.

I'm no expert on transgender subjectivities, far from it, but I do wonder about the possibility of correlations between Western imperialism/colonialism and the continued undermining of indigenous, Black, and mixed race (e.g. mestizo) communities and identities in former or ongoing (neo)colonized lands: especially in Latin America, Asia, even Eastern Europe. When countries are invaded and colonized, especially in cases where there are strong racial differences between colonizer and colonized, race and sex are dually and inextricably, almost invariably, exoticized, even fetishized, within a context of severe power differentials that fundamentally also involve class and its institutionally defined fossilization: caste.

Indeed, this latter concept may be key in, at least, a partial understanding of the etiologies of the transgender phenomena. To wit, are transgender identities, at least in the short and median terms (before the concept becomes potentially exploded and superceded by transhumanism outright), at risque of becoming a sort of neo-caste?

In other words, a "castal" identity that would as such, or in the main, be defined by an identity-structuring dependence on an axiomatically capitalistic pharmaceutical industry (as it currently exists and conceives of its future utility), in a manner that is not only reminiscent, but indeed, in no negligible way, genuinely "intersectionally" imbricated and implicated in the community of HIV sufferers dependent on antiretrovirals and related HIV-combatting pharmacopeia (including medical prophylactic agents which are prescribed as a daily vademecum to sexually active homosexual males, etc), in light of the undeniable reality that occurrences of HIV infections are exceedingly high within the LGBTQ+ community, and may approach infection rates of 25% in the case of sexually active transfemale-identifying people of color.

So that perhaps one might even begin to speak, without exaggeration, of pharmaceutical hormone-dependent and demarcated castes, of people, for whom the synthetic sustainment of genderal and sexual identities are not only the basis around which their lives fundamentally revolve, but in some form or another (beginning with, but far from limited to, the psychological) the basis upon which said lives ostensibly and actually quite literally depend (this being most acutely exemplified by the intersecting cases of transgender persons doubly dependent on lifelong hormone therapy and anti-HIV therapies).

>> No.18000437

>>18000415
Moreover, what of the seeming (though, to be sure, I do not say empirical) correlation between transgender identity, a preponderance of which are transfemale identities, and certain previously heavily colonized areas of the so-called Third World that have becoming notably linked to the transexual female sex trade; namely, Asia and Latin America?

Is the latter principally a case of a statistically demographically "normal" manifestation of transgender occurrences within a context of highly endemic economic underdevelopment that consequently results in more transpeople, albeit preponderantly more transfemales, having to rely on sex work in order to maintain a parallel psycho-physiomatic "necessary" transition and transidentity? Or rather, to the contrary, is the extreme precarity and poverty (within a capitalist, specifically postcolonial framework) and subsequent complex of idio-social comorbidities contributing to an increase of occurrences of transgenderism in communities which have, in many cases, for centuries faced every imaginable form of transgenerational oppression, including, as a matter of course, castal, colonial, and thereby the inevitable intertwined racial-sexual oppressions?

One concrete, but perhaps highly exemplary manifestation of which, in the specific case of Asia and Latin America, being the potential conduction or orchestration of bisexual, homosexual, and indeed pederastic prostitution by the colonial and postcolonial exploiters of such poverty-induced phenomena into forms designed to mimetically prolong pederasty and/or female-mimicking homosexuality within a specifically and quite consciously fetishizing Western colonial subjectivity and contextualization of the "Oriental", Asiatic, Amerindian, or indeed mixed-race "Other," that simultaneously fetishizes, aggresses, transgresses, and otherwise emasculatingly subordinates, feminizes, even infantilizes the a priori multifariously oppressed racialized, proletarized, castalized, colonial/postcolonial subject even further by sexo-biologically neutering, marking, and staticizing them into some of the most recrudesced "castal" (the Indo-Chinese "ladyboy", the Latinx "shemale," etc.) forms imaginable; thereby medico-scientifico-capitalistically reifying them in extremis into living iconographic products-cum-metonymies of colonial, postcolonial late capitalist Orientalizing consumptions, obsessions, and neuroses (in the "best" Houellebecqian fashion avant la lettre).

>> No.18000447

>>18000437
Furthermore, are the manifestations of transgender occurrences in metropolitan First World "communities of color" potentially, in many cases, constitutive and recapitulative of an itself transhistorically reverberative matrix of anterior experiences, existences, psycho-physiologically echoic phenomena which are determinatively tethered to what might be termed the phantasmatic somaticized trauma of a historically indefinite and indeed ongoing concatenation of racialized, colonialized, sexualized violations-cum-dominations? To wit, and in no particular order: desecration, brutalization, humiliation, destabilization, demasculinization, mutilation, etc, all within the inevitable framework of the aforementioned racialized alienative Western coloniality and imperialism? So that intersectionally, transgenerationally, and trans-geographically what is, in no small part, being seen in cases such as Bell's are the non-aleatory echos and reflects of the aforementioned ongoing development and--now eugenico-technocratically through Tavistock--reification, if not quasi-industrial fabrication, of an ante--but in no way necessarily a priori--transgenderal existential phenomena and phenomenology within a late postcolonial First World metropolitan framework, with a legacy of in itself (i.e. imbricated) racialized classist eugenicist experimentation.

One that, whether accidentally or not, is in classic Western colonialist fashion finding new industrial "productive" uses for its most marginalized, disprotected, uninformed, frequently postcolonialized, racialized proletariat subjects who are, if anything (and surely quite evidently so for the likes of Tavistock) suffering from the inherited, still poisonously slow-burning legacy of sexual shame-based trauma, dysthymia, and related deep-seated "neuroses;" in turn the products of a centuries-long uninterrupted legacy of an acutely racialized and racist gamut of dehumanizing imperialist extractive capitalist practices. Practices that continue to fashion, shape, warp, and determine both the subjective and materially objective patterns and parameters of most of the world today.

It’s getting warm and beautiful out and reminds me of the wind down to summer break, and all the things I should have been enjoying back in high school if I hadn’t hated myself too much to ever make real friends.
Last week I suddenly remembered this cute lesbian from robotics club who had a crush on me and wanted me to break up with my boyfriend. I keep thinking about her and the carefree beach days and midnight McDonald’s runs we might have had if I hadn’t chickened out and stayed with my douchey crutch bf. I can’t find her anywhere online and it’s really bothering me. Not that I would have the guts to reach out even if she was.
I feel bad that I missed out on fun in high school, that I was so uptight, and now I’m in my 20s and live alone and haven’t made any friends. I know in another 10 years I’ll look back and see the obvious fun I was missing out on now and be even sadder about it.
I might drive and take a walk down by the river. I always go out with the vague hope that someone will notice and talk to me and I’ll make friends, but I’ve realized that after high school people don’t care to do the work of pulling you out of your shell just because you’re cute, and why should they? But I’m completely inept I don’t know how to be proactive about meeting people. I know it’s all pathetic excuses.

Not him, but it's unsustainable. We live in a system where the ruling elite drive growth for the sole purpose of growth at the expense of everything else. They masquerade behind noble causes but ultimately everything is reduced down to numbers. On top of that, the US is poised to collapse during this century and cause a massive power vacuum, leaving China's growth and expansion unchecked. The game ended decades ago but nobody noticed, we're just going through the motions.

I can relate to this. Though I'm "only" 22, I already feel like I've thrown away a lot of my youth. Seems like this sentiment is not at all uncommon.

I feel like I've got to do SOMETHING, but I don't really know what or how at the moment.

I come back home one month later after leaving it under my friend's care and I find everything literally in the same place as I left them. The jam I had left in the dining table has not moved an inch and it's all dusted.

Bhuddism is just romanticising schizoid personality disorder.
No ambition, no desire, no feelings. Just pure stagnation.

Why strive toward ego death? How is being an empty vessel any better than being dead. Expedite the process and kill yourself.

You're not saved through works but by your trust in Jesus Christ. We all fall short of the glory of god. No matter if you lied as a child or murdered someone. We all deserve hell. There is no way you can work yourself clean so God starts liking you. Furthermore, you shouldn't even try to do that, God likes humility more than that. Don't promise him that you will never sin again. Make him clear, that you need Jesus to pay for you.

The only thing that cleanses you is Jesus Christ. Thats why salvation is called a gift. Make God clear that you believe that Jesus was crucified and then resurrected in order to pay for your sins

this board is a toxic vortex that captures your desire to read books and, and gives it release through endless hours of purposeless browsing. instead of reading to get rid of the uneasy feeling of carrying an unfulfilled desire, you waste the energy in a task vaguely related to /lit/erature, namely retarded discussions in here. this is not to say that it isn't to check in once in a while, but I think most people here don't read for a purpose.
all acts that are not reading, but vaguely related, obstruct the establishment of a succesful routine that would allow us to read just enough.
personally around 50 pages of philosophy a day is my goal, and even that I mostly don't reach.
any thoughts on this?

I want to write but I don't feel confident in my abilites. I've read like 3 books in the last 5 years, never wrote somethign andthe only creative content I consume is fucking anime.
I feel like if I give it a shot I would be wasting my time, and I'm just trying to cope with the fact that I will never make something substanstial

>> No.18002784

>>18002721
the only way to cope is action. read a book you like that is a little difficult to be proud of yourself, and other than that, the only true way is action. (start by reading everyday for 30 minutes or smth)

Try writing a light novel or a similar sort of YA fiction. It’s true that good writers tend to read a lot already but it’s not some hard and fast universal law. There are narratives built into anime as well so just use what you know.

sometimes I think about standing on my shoulders, bending my legs up over my head so my butt is aimed straight up, kind of like tubgirl, then pouring yoghurt on my anus and farting. So the fart would be a yoghut-mist. that is all.

That's because Enoch Powell was not completely sold out to neoliberal interests whereas Scruton most certainly was.
Anyways, I do sympathize with your situation, but there's nothing I can do and I prefer not endlessly fixating on politics considering we live in an age of growing IoT and data mining capabilities. They are always one step ahead of us now, and they can easily subvert any movement you come up with the resist their NWO, which I agree is kind of trashy.

I've been depressed with thoughts of suicide for around 5 years now i have terrible social anxiety it's been so bad I didn't leave my bedroom because i didn't want to interact with my family recently i just felt so lost and sad. I thought it would be so cool to see a roman emperor's inner thoughts and feelings it must be so cool to step into his diary and life so i cracked open marcus aurelius's diary but it's written in like old english and he just keeps repeating that I'm only here for just a fleeting moment and then I'm going to die he says it like 10 times man it just feels like i have this heavy feeling in my solar plexus i find no genuine pleasure in anything and i am so anxious i don't even have a job or leave the house at all really

1. Stop
2. Focus
It's not written in Old English, it's written in Koine Greek and is translated to English. Don't merely read Meditations to read, read it to comprehend. Consider how you can apply stuff in your life. "Concentrate every minute like a Roman."

Take comfort in knowing that you're reading the inner thoughts of a man who was, for a time, among the most powerful in the world and was responsible for the lives of an entire Empire worth of people. Then challenges he faced daily are likely greater than those we will ever know. He managed, and you can too. Don't shut yourself off from the world and don't waste time on pointless things. You were put on this earth to live a life and be a part of something: be excited!

Do you have an education?
If yes, try to get an internship or entry level job somewhere.
If no, any job is fine. Just get out and do it. You'll socialize and develop some skills, even if it's just working at a grocery store and learning how to interact with others.

Try and go to school if you can, but don't put yourself into massive debt on something that won't go anywhere. Alternatively, try to rise in the job you find and seek promotions. The biggest thing is taking the first step and moving forward. Do what you were born to do and live a life beyond warm blankets.
