I just saw this vid on /gif/ of a cute goth girl sucking some huge dick and I thought "she probably has a twitter saying George Floyds death was horrible and other shit in support of underdogs and then she goes to her bf and sucks a dick she cant even put in her mouth" does she not realize her bias, which is a bias that goes against feminism at its core, a natural bias in them that harms people and thus they oppress people. Its the same as watching a black nationalist go home to her white husban in their LA mansion in a 99% white community.8

These people are morally bankrupt.

WRONG. That's the just world fallacy. The universe is under no obligation to correct for mortal infractions.
>Karma is a bitch
Incorrect. Karma is not a moral system. It is a metaphysical principle and cause and effect. Individual actions ripple throughout the cosmos and effect future lives and rebirths.

rained the whole day, as sour as i am the feeling of getting wet and cold is actually nice. affirming in a way, and entering a dry warm room feels better than ever.

old anons may remember a pony from a year ago that got very sick. today somehow we didnt close her stall door, and after waiting for everyone to leave and shut the lights off, she went out to binge on grain from a specially tightly-closed box. if it was full, she'd be dead by now, but luckily there wasnt much and she seemingly only ate a bit. i freaked the fuck out at first though. as of now she's okay, but i'll ask for prayers again, bros

narcissism is a product of adolescence. you can keep your teenage mindset well into life, the fact you recognize it is half the solution
you may be simply clinically unempathetic (same case with me, extremely seldom i feel empathy to anyone and pretty shallowly too, but i care way too much about animals and thats one of the signs)
you learn to bond in other ways, through respect, enjoyment of others' company, the positives it gives you
just find your own detour and arrive at the same place - of being at ease with people

Emotionaly? No, the subconscious systems in my brain are thown out of absolute whack. Gunning for irl (you)s is a good way to put it. Anything I have with other people is detachted, I have no reflexes for empathising with them, and anything has to be conscious. In the basest sense, I reflexively only want admiration and the sort from others. My inner voice is a goad that I must be better than others.
I do not want to be this way, and try my best to overcome what is nothing less that a sickness. Going off my other post, in my current state I could not be in a romantic relationship and still consider myself moral.

Annie saw an off-white shelf tainted by years of misuse. The top shelf reached her shoulders. It remained steady, even under the pressure of the many classics works it had been holding for decades. She kneeled, running her fingers over the rough, leathery spine of 'The Illiad', dragging it forward, tracing it down to the works of Faulkner, which were bound by worn-out, green felt.

At the end, below a dog-eared copy of 'Lolita', she found a rusted nail. She peered into the corners and found the three misshapen nails that were holding the shelf together.

The library hadn't been open in several years. The squatter, though well read, must have been dirty and careless. Slamming heavy books, with weights measuring in years, as if he owned the stories because he found a copy. This busted shelf was no place to keep books either.

Trust is retarded, most people clearly state in the first steps of a new relationship that they don't trust anyone completely and won't, ever. You only have to cope with this one lie, and your girlfriend is retarded if she really expects you to trust her 100% on everything.

I hate African Americans, and I would rather people hunt them than innocent animals. I felt very sad for Cecil the Lion, but when George Floyd was killed, I was salivating at the thought of choking a nigger. I unintentionally ended a ten year "literary" friendship when the first thing I told my friend is that the nigger deserved to die.
What's funny is a nigger broke into my house recently, and I shot the detestable thing. It felt so good. I also had a nightmare two days before this happened of niggers raiding my house, raping my wife, killing my cats, and setting the place on fire. It's as if Ohrmazd is giving me a message that anywhere niggers move to becomes cursed.
I tried querying literary agents with my picture book, but it was rejected because it has no niggers. Just go to SCBWI page. A nigger in every illustration! Right before that nigger broke into my house, I was watching a video advertising a TV show of niggers reading picture books to kids about how "oppressed" and "accomplished" they are. Niggers are some kind of darkly apparition, they exist to mock me and make my life hard, so I must be strong and fight against the forces of evil. After the incident, I am living with my dad after that nigger broke in. Too afraid to go back to my old house given my nightmare before the event happened. It used to be a largely white neighborhood, safe before demonic niggers brought forth their impurities. Then these niggers gradually flowed in as if from the tenebrous flow of Ahriman. Look at the recent Caldecott award winner! It's written in ebonics and worships niggers! America is becoming a nigger-worshiping country! Even during BLM shenanigans, niggers tortured a poor raccoon!
I want to crush the skulls of niggers, mutilate their bodies, and decorate my room with their carcasses. I want to walk in dark laboratories watching nigger children scream and slice their brains for the purposes of neurobiological research. I had to sacrifice rats for my Neuroscience lab. It traumatized me. Then let it be niggers underneath the blade! That is the answer! Fuck niggers! Instead of hunting, devouring, or experimenting on innocent animals, go abduct nigger trash and hunt them instead. Purify this world of defilement. Niggers are a representation of evil and the light from the Aryan exists to banish it. SEND NIGGERS TO WHENCE THEY CAME FROM, WHICH IS AHRIMAN'S HOUSE OF LIES. Rid this world of the evil and darkness, for to be a nigger is to be damned.

A thought about thoughts came to me as I was eating lunch today.

Could you define a thought as a thing which is about another thing? Both a thought in my head and a billboard would fall under this definition. But then we could define a conscious being as a being which can create thoughts, or things about things. This would base consciousness in symbols and symbolism.

Is this a reasonable definition at all? I feel like I'm onto something. Hopefully I'll be able to take this further.

Whenever I try to write something I can't seem to put words on the page, and even if I'm able to finally do that, I get too embarrassed by how "cringe" it is (even if it's not really all that cringey) and it makes it even harder to finish the story.

Despite that, I have at least 5 different stories in my head I want to write, but I'm stuck in this loop of procrastination and barely living day to day in my parent's house.

I genuinely don't know where to get motivation from.

I appreciate what you do, Anon. I like anime too, even though I am more of an oldfag and I have deeper, broader tastes in literature and reading than perhaps might be expected of a weeb.

I will say that I am drawn to anime, and to animation in general, because I find that so many Japanese cartoons display great craft, and also great aesthetic sense. Even today, in this age of digital animation, so many anime have a sense of drama, of passion, of great feeling, which seems lacking to me in a lot of Western media. Anime and manga have their own problems but they do a lot of things well that aren't done well any more in the West. A lot of anime seem closer to beauty, truth, and goodness than a lot of Western animation.

But the West still has its charms. Primal, from Genndy Tartakovsky, is already one of my favorite animated series of all time, from any country. It is as great as the best anime I have ever seen, a masterpiece of storytelling in animation.

I am drawn to animation in both the East and the West because it can make the fantastic and the unreal into reality, in a way no live action movie or show ever could, even with the best special effects. The unreal becomes real in animation in ways it can never do in live action. This is one of the reasons I love it so much.

I navigated to his most popular videos and watch first a video on Dark Academia followed by one about “finding your passion”. In the former, he talked about this thing which apparently just the aesthetics of literature or something. I’m the latter, he talked about how basically you can’t fetishize the image of being or doing something without actually loving the thing. Kind of pathetic.

I trusted her more than anyone in my life. And now i'm starting to slightly regret it. I can't shake the feeling that if things turn more sour than usual in the future, she will jump at the opportunity of exposing all of my intimate vulnerabilities and secrets. There was one instance where she attempted to hurt me by trying to ruin things with a good friend of mine, and she did it after an argument. I don't know what she would do once we have an inevitably bigger fight, and it terrifies me at times.

Yes, I'm done now. I was never going to become the next Faulkner, the next Nabokov or the next Joyce, but I hid behind the language barrier to avoid criticism for months, maintaining an illusion that was fun to live in while it lasted. I had thought my country's education system was topmost in the world, but this turned out to be utter bollocks. A child of 18, a person ten years my junior, has a greater vocabulary than I, who had to look up the word “topiary”, and no one likes the expression theory of art anymore, I am likened to a long lost dinosaur.
This will be my final post on /lit/. I've been humiliated and exposed as a fraud. My writing is pretentious, infantile, banal drivel. My observations are dull, my language grade school level. My tenses are mixed up; I use colloquialisms, ellipses and onomatopoeia. I mix tired and trite idioms together to obfuscate their unoriginality with a veneer of irony; I have continued to recite ornate Jewish chimpanzee parables with diminishing returns. The parable seemed very clearly to me to be asking me whether or not the now-grown-adult can choose. I say yes, of course, but that's not my issue.
I was never cut out for writing. I began writing my "book" on January 6th. Since then I've produced 82 thousand words for it. These words are a tide of garbage without value, without insight, without form. The themes of time, space, infinity, memory and pointless duelling are not present in my work. It was never real writing, it was anime and weebshit. Look how many words I wrote, because apparently literature is bodybuilding and just aimlessly typing will somehow improve my writing. I don't even know what genre it is that I'm writing. Is it autofiction? A comedy? A picaresque?
Regardless, I have failed. I have put down my pen. Never again will my fingers click-clack across the keyboard. No more outlines, no more characters. Goodbye

I put my thoughts here so as to get them one step closer to something tangible. As recently, my head has been inundated with the vague sense of an inner unreality. I need my thoughts to be read, so as to confirm the existence of my deepest self, which has been forever been hidden and unexpressed in favor of the facade of normieness. Certain insecurities can compel a person to look obsessively in the mirror, but this isn't out of narcissism than for the very same reason we write our own thoughts down somewhere -- to convince ourselves that we exist.

Well said. The recent “hustle and grind”, “side hustle” culture has really over blown into making people feel insecure if they aren’t good at and can monetize something they enjoy.

I have always been emotionally stable, not seeking quick pleasures and thinking long term, but the response to getting a 9/10 from a (pretend) qt is having an effect on me.
I wake up in the morning and send my pics to about 5 people (some bi people if they look somewhat feminine) while still in bed, and throughout the day i harvest my praise in return when the responses arrive.

Most of the comments and messages I got were from middle-aged gay men who, judging by their English, were South American. But I was surprised by the number of women who would message me as well, just to roleplay or whatever. I didn't like talking to any of these people who I would never meet let alone fuck, so I eventually stopped posting anything.

I'm losing sight. Literally and figuratively. My nearsightedness worsened lately. I can't even see people's face correctly if they're not less than a meter in front of me. Also, I've been a shut-in for a year now. I've been thinking about writing an online diary about this. The whole avoiding social encounters and problems and still failing at everything else mentality.

The problem with having less than average intelligence and spending so much time with yourself is that you become more and more aware of your limits, limits you would not even have thought of before. For instance, it's nearly been a year since I've last talked to my father. I can't bring myself to answer the phone, nor see him in any ways. Why, you ask? Well, he literally tried to fuck a woman 7 years my senior in front of me even though I'm his last kid, and failed miserably. You see, that woman knew what he wanted, but had enough self respect not to sleep with a man twenty years older than her, even though he gave her shelter and tried to make use of her vulnerabilities after she flew her abusive ex-husband with her young son. What he doesn't know is that she came at my apartment to smoke her weed - because yes, she's an addict, and his actions probably didn't help with that - and complain about how he made her life difficult now that I wasn't around (thanks to college) to act as a buffer between the two of them.
I can't bring myself to speak to him, because I wouldn't even know how to look at him in the face after that. I'm also highly depressive, I've gained levels of social anxiety I've never had before, and am about to lose my mind because I barely left my apartment since last year. So what's left to say?

"Sorry dad, I know you're about to die from lupus, but I am depressive, also, I wanted to be far from the social drama you two idiots have been generating, and I really pity that poor kid that was caught been you two's insane actions. I hope he grows well."

Looks better written than said. IRL, I probably would've gotten punched into oblivion by my near-dead father before I got to the second part of the sentence. So I shut up, and I wait. I wait for everything to get resolved on their own. I wait for a happy ending. I wait for my slowly decaying mind to see something past the darkness, so that I can muster the courage to talk to my dad.

fellas, is it gay to want a muscular woman to slam you against a wall and demand you go out with her?

What is it about happy little children that is profoundly sad?
I'm always caught in a moment when I walk by one, waving towards them or imitating their goofy gestures, and they smile back and wave back then continue waddling along to rest of their day with their parents. And then I just feel the urge to cry for some reason... It feels like some kind of fragile little memory from long ago in a little snowglobe, so beautifully pure yet so melancholic behind its little delicate glass. What is so tragic about a happy look on a child's face /lit/?

Maybe this piece of music can make it easier to convey.

I should've just asked why happy children feel so sad to us. I don't know what all of that rambling is after the initial question.
