There was actually a deep state conspiracy among excolonist Europe nations. It was about bananas. The US got mad about this because they'd invaded and couped a lot of central/South America to ensure their banana supply to sell to the Europeans and cried foul when they found out other countries could be imperialist dicks too. Bananas are great.

I'm so self-conscious about balding. I'm just 20, and it isn't even a normal kind of balding, my hair is thinning all over the place, alongside with my hairline slowly receding. I have on oral minoxidil for around 8 months and haven't seen much result yet, but my dermatologist says that I should start seeing results after a year. I just can't stop thinking about it, about how my skull shape is weird, I look for haircuts that will hide my baldspots, I try looking for things that might help me reduce the hair loss, and I simplt cannot take my mind away from this.

Finasteride or topical minoxidil I get, but where the fuck did you get oral minoxidil? Did your dermatologist give you a prescription for it? Seems a bit dangerous since I've heard it can cause heart problems, I'd rather take finasteride.

[Anonymous No.18455006]

>>18454981
Yes, I got a prescription. To avoid heart problems, I had to start with very small doses (0.25 mg) and slowly increase them. Now I'm taking 0.75. That's probably the reason why I haven't seen results yet.
I've heard that finasteride causes ED and depression, is that true? Have you seen any secondary effects?

ED is a possible side effect, I've heard that some people got depression from it but I'm not sure if there are any conclusive studies on it.

I've personally been taking finasteride for years and I've never felt any side effects.

>annoyed but decide to play another, going past my bed time

I'm in a similar boat, but I'm 29. Finasteride is by far the most effective drug and will almost certainly stop your balding immediately and maybe even regrow the lost hair, especially in combination with minoxidil and maybe dermarolling. But I'm not on it for the same reasons as you; the side effects scare me. Worse still, there's a loud minority of people who claim to have something called post-finasteride syndrome which allegedly causes the issues you mention permanently, years after they stopped taking fin. Many people think it's a myth, just in their heads. But if there's even 1% chance of ruining my life after taking that pill, do I want to take it? I'm not sure. And while I deliberate, I'm only going to get balder. Why did we have to be cursed like this, anon?

If it goes on like this and I decide not to risk it, I'll probably end up either getting smp (scalp micropigmentation) or a hair system, which can look really good even though it can be costly.

Recently I have been frustrated by technology, and I have sought to use it much less, for I do very little of value through it. I want to be more productive and live a simpler life. I know I should spend time exercising but I lack motivation. Specifically, I feel like I should run every morning, and I never want to and I do not enjoy it at all. Recently I've been thinking it might be a good idea to play some sportsball games with friends—I recently did this and it was quite fun and energy-expending. However, I feel as though I do not have the ability to do this, particularly I feel as though I lack the participation of others. Et cetera.

Additionally, I have recently been conflicted in my beliefs. Although I have recently sort of returned to Christianity, or at least an appreciation of it (and religions in general) (I am not sure if my "beliefs" are sincere) from agno-atheism, I am now unsure if this is a good thing. I am "attached" to the point where it seems like it is a good thing I do not want to leave, for family as well as personal reasons, but at the same time it seems "problematic", particularly in the cases of destroying other religions and being Judaic in nature (most of the practicers of Christianity not having Judaic historical backgrounds). I have been increasingly intrigued by "pagan" ideas, although it seems wrong to actually, unironically "practice" this. Also, pluralism is no good.

In fact, there seem to be several lifestyle changes or things I want to do at hand. I hope to accomplish these things.

Wait if you're only 20 and its balding all over isn't it much more likely to be telogen effluvium? In which case the most likely explanation is stress or something else like an iron deficiency. If you're seeing a dermatologist I assume they would have raised this possibility. What did they say?

So to start this brief story, I'm severely deaf which means for this post I need you to understand I have no directional hearing. Sounds just exist. I can't hear something and know where it came from.
So anyway I heard what sounded like a creature scratching away at paper, and I have a small pile of junk mail sitting next to my desk right? It was a slow scritchy scratching noise.
However I had a can of raid ready and I found a bug! It was no match for me!
Just now I noticed the sheet that covers my mattress had come loose and it has a paper tag that explains how to wash it. When you touch this paper it sounds like a critter scratching paper.
My mattress and my inability to hear properly just gave a bug one very unlucky night. It probably wasn't doing anything at all and the mattress cover just betrayed him.
Ah well. Shoulda stayed outside Mr. Waterbug.

Vaccination cards you can download or say you lost yours. I carried a card to not wear a mask, I have no conditions conditions would give me an exemption.
There are a hundred excuses to take the path of least resistance but at the end of the day you basically agree that basic human freedoms are not meant for the unvaccinated. That might not have a direct effect on you but it does for me. And it's not pride I have, you get abuse for saying you don't need the vax. It's a clear conscience.

Also going to a different college is not the end of your life, I think I'd be in bigger trouble if I lost my job. But it's your choice, be happy with it.

don't know what to do with this day. I got the summer off. I pickde up boxing. I've gone twice. it's pretty cool. I got my glasses busted by a punch which feels pretty great desu, I feel like a dumbass kid again. the way they work out is insane though, completely insane and I'm out of shape so now all I want to do today is lay in bed and watch streams. otherwise I would have read out in the sun. I also heard from a chick I was really into a while back. I think something with my relationship-forming brain is busted, I only knew her a short while a couple of years ago but I fell for her hard in that time. I can't tell if I like her or desire her. Well, I'm pretty sure that when we hung out years ago I really liked her a lot as a person. But gradually over time it's like the reasons why I liked her as a person has faded and become replaced by desire. Either way: she got back in touch with me, so my mind if pretty pre-occupied by that.

Fuck it, I don't think I want to do anything today.

From what I see in the img a you need to do is print out a vaccine card and be a bit creative in what you write on it. They can't access your full medical records right?

That's what I would have done. We're not in the same boat but I don't think I'd get the vax. Besides being way too stubborn to give into stuff like that I have a bit of a phobia against needles.

There's no use in sulking over a choice made but for me I think it's a sign of things to come. If you give in to this when you're young and supposedly at your most rebellious and with the least amount of responsibility it might show that you will never stand against real pressure. Or do you think you'll suddenly take risks when you have people who rely on you or when you have real bills to pay? Like I said, there's always a million reasons to take the path of least resistance.

There are two paths to go down. The moral idealist path and the pride/pleasure path.
The moral idealist path is actually the rationally hedonistic path, as the Divine Bliss is the greatest amount of pleasure over time you will experience, however, the journey to get to the light is much less exciting.
The pride/pleasure route, you try to maximize your pleasure in the present while also giving your life meaning by improving your self-confidence.
At the end of the day, the moral idealist route wasn't that challenging, and it is the smarter option of the two. But the pride/pleasure path is very tempting and appealing to the weaker willed.

I had a long term gf when I was in my upper teens/early 20s. after that broke down I had one one night stand (it is true that being buff as shit helps with getting women, at least when you're young). Then I got severely mentally ill. I am beginning to come out of it now to the point that it seems likely that I could become a somewhat functioning member of society/somewhat independent. I am now 31, it has taken a lot of time to get back to somewhat functional (I was recooperating at least a little after a little over a year, but then some stuff happened that deepened the crisis pretty severely at what I have to assume was a pretty sensitive time. it is somewhat surprising I did not kms, but here we are). What I'm getting at is this: the last time I dated a woman she was 19 years old. I am now interested in a woman who I think is 34. In truth I would have maybe prefered someone younger, but I like her a lot so it may not be a deal-breaker. But what I'm wondering (out loud) is what a 34 year old woman is really like, day to day. Of course my confidence isn't exactly on top after everything that happened and I keep thinking back to how it was with my long term gf of my youth as an example of how things can be. But we were kids.. I dunno, maybe there isn't really any difference, this woman is pretty childish in a nice way, you can goof around with her. I just wonder what sharing a life is like when you're 30+. I really know very, very little about life, I've mostly rested now for so many years.

19 year old women vs 34 year old women can either be a huge difference in personality or not, it depends, just like any human being, on their life experiences. Did that person's life choices stunt their growth as a person? Like, did they not go to college and stay as a waitress the entire time and go drinking and partying after every shift? Then that person will still be very young in their mind as their exposure to the world is what amounts to 6 hour shifts of highschool drama at a restaurant. Some women will have experiences that skyrocket their ability to cope with responsibility and make them jump to the other side of the fence so to say (married then divorced, had and raised a kid, rape, masters program, corporate ladder climbing, moved to a bigger city) all these things can change a person and be what amounts to a shock treatment of responsibility. No longer are they seeking oats, but instead simply seeking comfort and conformity to a life they are okay with living. Just as any human that grows older.

The biggest solace I have is that nobody expects me to succeed in anything. I still try but don't care if I fail and live out my whole life as a loser. I get to do everything on my own terms, but in doing so I have given up the chance at close relationships, love breeds pressure to succeed so that the people you love might love you back. Sometimes I get a quick insight into how stunted I am socially when I look at other people interact with eachother but that only reinforces my current habits. I don't get lonely except at night when I wish I could fall asleep with a girl next to me. The idea of MGTOW is a total facade, but only a great man can succeed in life, starting from nothing, while at the same time maintaining a relationship and I am not a great man

The one thing I do think there is an ounce, just an ounce, of truth to is the idea that people are starting life much later now. People get married and have children much later, it would stand to reason they’d have these other points of development later too. I just don’t know if we should beat ourselves up over it or not. For sure, I do anyway but part of me wants to just forgive myself for having to wander the desert as a young person. That doesn’t make it any better because it’s like “okay now what” either way but still.

to all the depressed people who frequent these threads:

I get that it is entirely possible that you don't want to do anything and I hope you understand that given your situation that can just be how it has to be, your brain either needs this or it has decided that it's gonna do it either way, and that you don't feel guilty about it if that is how it is. But if you do want to do something I recommend getting a pair of rubber gloves and some trash bags and then just going out in the streets in your community picking up trash. It feels really good making the city nicer, it feels really good to be able to do this small thing for other people. I think humans are built to do shit for one another, but there are few opportunities in the modern world. And what's nice is that on the days you do do it, you feel like you at least did something real with your time. I dunno, when I do it I always feel pretty good after a while. I started it because I thought I needed to go for walks to at least get some sun, but just walking was so boring. Picking trash is a task, it gives you focus, it's frankly a lot more fun than just walking.

Well, that's all for me. You do you fampais.

I think it was introduced because he had to cut nearly 500 pages from the book. The entire plot points of 'action' that are them digging up the head and the invasion and all that are all bits that don't actually happen in the pages of the book, but the time skips we are able to infer it.

It's also a joke on the book's nature of cyclical rewatching of entertainment. The people who watch infinite jest rewatch it until they die. The book is supposed to be an endless circle that you reread over and over again. There is no "beginning" and there is no "end", just an INFINITE... jest. lol

[Anonymous No.18460985]

>>18460921
Thanks for your thoughts. I was somewhat aware of the so-called parabolic structure of the plot and how the endnotes are supposed to resemble the back/forth of a tennis ball. I think I was trying to tie that neatly in with the temporal fuckery of the thing in a way that doesn't entirely make sense. Parabolic symmetry implies a different kind of symmetric structure to, say, straight out isotropy as in >There is no "beginning" and there is no "end" .
But, thinking just sort of practically, >he had to cut nearly 500 pages from the book,
I didn't know this and that's also a pretty good explanation.

[Anonymous No.18461025]

>>18460985
The line that runs through the footnotes and the temporal issue is the fact that he wants you to constantly remember that you are reading a book. The fundamental post modernism act of creating empathy, flow, and connection with the words on the page and then to subsequently be explicitly ripped out from it. And he did that, I think, because of his goals with the themes of addiction and entertainment. It would be a completely different experience if everything was in order and neat. There's a reason he used end notes and not foot notes. etc.

That is also a good point. It is, on reflection, a book in which the nature of the reading plays nearly as much a role as the reading itself. The thing I'm now wondering is if all that is worth the investment required to sustain it. I've said elsewhere here lately that the best parts of this thing (to my mind) are the most tender and humane parts and I'm struggling with some of these 'intellectual' ambitions of the novel not because they're frightening to me (as it happens I'm also a math nerd & athletic enough to be disappointed by mediocrity) but because I begin to wonder if they undermine that very humanity more than they encourage us to bring these considerations into our everyday lives. In that sense, I think perhaps that he was a more capable writer of non-fiction.

How long have I been alive? Truly alive anyways, for most of my life so far I've been content with submission to others in an attempt to achieve some semblance of order, or perhaps meaning in my existence. Indeed, most of my time in life was not spent living at all, but only wondering why I was alive, which, as one could imagine, was a waste of ever precious time; however, I suppose that I was able to come to my conclusions through those years of thought? Or perhaps it would have come unto me regardless following the death of that man, the answer, I cannot know. Waving the previous statements, I know understand why I live, the answer is as simple as the truth that I was born, ergo I do not need a reason to live, for I am. As such I have felt far more alive as a result of this school of thought than my peers and colleagues who still search for meaning through the material. I am alive now, as I was in my mothers womb.
