WHEN CARTHAGE HAD FALLEN TO ROMANIC PESTS
HER ELEPHANTS BLEEDED AND TUMBLED
«MAKE SHUT THE GATES, LEST WE GIVE THEM REST!»
HAD SHOUTED HASDRUBAL DOWN FROM HIS TOWER

BUT LATE WAS THE HOUR, AND CARTHAGE DIMINISHED
AND THUS SET THE ROMAN HIS FOOT ON ITS SOIL
IN VIOLENCE IT HAD BEGUN, AND THEN FINISHED
AND SO HAD TURNED MOST FERTILE EARTH INTO DUST

THE ROMAN GAVE IN TO HIS LUST FOR THE KILLING,
HIS PASSION TO WOMEN AND CHILDREN ALIKE
MURDER'D A BROTHER, AND ALSO HIS SIBLING
STOLE THUS THE MONUMENTS OUT OF THE PALACE

PONDER THIS, ROME! SEE THINE OWN FAULTS!
FOR THOU POISON'D CARTHAGE, WITH THINE EVIL SALTS!

I feel so isolated at work because I'm an ugly autist. HR is treating me like shit.

I feel like managers see me as an ugly bug that they'll give shit performance reviews to without much thought.

Being an ugly male is depressing. I've stopped taking on as much work because it barely manages to be worthwhile ("You do the work well, Anon, you just aren't good at engaging with others! Me and Jessica talk about our shared interest in travelling the world. Why can't you be like that?")

Working from home is a consolation.

I'm sick of stories where the good guy comes to the conclusion that he can't kill the bad guy, especially if he says something like "if I kill him, I'll be just like him!"
I want to write a story where the good guy defeats and kills his enemies, even as though they are humanized. In fact, I want his attempts at dehumanizing them in his mind to fail. I want him to realize that these are two uncompromising forces that the only possible option for coexistence is one where his people are the slaves of the enemy. I am thinking of making it a conflict between humans and vampires. The vampires need humans to live, but the humans do not need them, nor do they want to serve them or give them their children as livestock.

My mom had two more kids with a drug addict and her marriage with him has already collapsed following the discovery of his heroin addiction on the wedding day of all days. Every child she has had has grown up to be a dropout and stunted in life and poor. They are two beautiful blue eyed girls and I feel terrified but angry that they have been brought into this world to be raised by her, and they going to surrounded by the untrustworthy bad people she hangs out with. Their dad can’t really raise children, he’s a burnout addict. I am so fucking angry at this world for bringing so much life into it like this. The compulsion to have children to soothe your own heart. They are undoubtably going to be surrounded by a deteriorating world of cheap plastic, toxic television, a mom who is too preoccupied by her trauma and drug use to properly raise children, and I don’t know how to reconcile this anger. They are so pure. It stirs me so as to believe that children are really the only people worth caring about in this world and they are brought into this world without choice to be raised by people like this. I don’t want them to grow up like this, but I can’t do anything about it. They already brought up *my* mental problems as a scapegoat for why their marriage fell in the divorce proceedings. No, it is not *THEIR* fault, it’s external things, like ME, a person with no history of violence raised by people like them WITH a history of violence and sadism that causes *THEIR* pain. God. Is there no good soul left on earth? What is the point to slog through this undignified mediocrity seeing things like this unfold like a slow motion car crash? It makes me want to watch it all burn.

I'm getting closer to what I think is the truth at a glacial rate. I understand so little it's laughable.
I'm slightly unbound in my own body, just enough to notice going on autopilot or to watch my movements happen on their own without my input. I've become both more aware of things and less connected with things since this began.
My perception and understanding of time is largely incoherent but it doesn't matter. Enclosed eternity allows supratemporal assent to participation in the process of emanation-reduction-union by means of tracing the Will across the individual instants which crystallized following the shock of the eternal moment's self-contraction.

Late night hungers are particularly insidious in their raw insistence, because at night one has nothing but emptiness and what is left in that emptiness, the pointless lusts and hungers, which roar up with an exaggerated flame as if in contrast with the darkness of night. We've all indulged in that orgiastic carnal sin of late night fast food, gorging on the gristle and fat, lapping in the grease, fully released from any obligation to be civil.

Yes but it can be a good problem to have since it means you have a lot on your mind but you don't have the practiced paradigm of filtering priority. I have way more on my mind than most people and it becomes readily obvious in conversation. I am daunting for people to talk to. However in tasks it took me heroic journey to program my mind to clarity. In my Data Analysis class we went over control charts and proved why the chart must monitor one process alone to be effective. When I read I jot down tangents in a notebook aside because often those tangents are insights more valuable than the volume itself. However most of the time if I didn't brain dump and hold holy my inner control chart of constant onionskin data analysis I would be pic related.

You *can* do something about it and you don't need anyone's permission to do so. There is no reason why these children can't have a good life, especially if someone is there to teach them right and wrong, and how to express themselves.

Just because their parents are useless doesn't mean they are condemned to a life of hardship and torment; YOU are aware of it, YOU can do something about it, and YOU can change their lives.

YOU can be their hero, the one they will dedicate their lives to; YOU can be the one who saves them from the world as it burns; YOU can cradle their tired heads as they grow weary from the weights placed unfairly upon their shoulders.

Make yourself involved in their lives because perhaps they will inspire you in ways you could never have imagined before.

Many of the views in last night's dreams were extremely beautiful. It's sad that they fade, and that I can never properly render them. My dream wove together politics, flight and architecture. I want to have it again, and I never will, I can't. Autocorrect is great for finding interesting word combinations, such as wife and weave. To wife is to weave, in a few senses. If I can't be a painter, maybe I could be a wordsmith, by which I mean writer. But it's enough to do anything, if you can do anything, especially because starting doing anything can make you realise that you quickly got tired of that thing and never really liked it enough to offset that great and terrible human laziness. How many great men didn't have any specific affinity for what they did, but rather just that spirit that allows one (compels one) to work, to act?

Most factors that influence being "special" are outside of your control.
The big issue is humility, it is hard to be humble, we all want glory and it is hard to accept we are in the majority that will never have such importance.
If it helps, being an average guy isn't so bad, you can still enjoy a lot of thing life has to offer without any pressure from yourself or others and you still make a difference for those around you. For example, when I worked as a teacher, I didn't make any revolution in teaching or in society, but I improved and did my best to help my students and seeing the positive effect I had in some of them made me very happy and fullfilled.

I was raised Catholic through most of my life. Regular Catholic, I mean, novus ordu, liberal catholicism, not the larp stuff you see on the internet. And I eventually met Traditional Catholicism and that actually really shattered my faith more than all atheist propaganda I could meet. I'm on the verge of apostatizing. And here's why:

The trads are RIGHT. They are right in the sense that Vatican 2 is indeed full of things that are either unacceptably ambiguous at best, and blatantly contradictory with previous teaching at worst. Their critique of Paul VI's mass is correct. From a purely objective point of view, you can see enormous differences in doctrine and in approach of doctrine before and after V2. I don't think I've seen any consistent response to the claims of trads, larper or otherwise.

And the issue with this is that the church SHOULDN'T be able, as an institution, to fall in error so severely and prolongedly as trads point out. It defeats the purpose of magisterium. Because the faithful will no longer be able to rely on the current hierarchy to convey the magisterium, so he will have to appeal to older texts and documents. But who will interpret those texts and documents? He can't appeal to the hierarchy. So he's alone. It's a fundamentally protestant approach to the faith.

So either one adopts a very self-evidently wrong doctrinaire revolution within the hierarchy, or one adopts a protestant method of hermeneutics.

She would rest my head on her or she would rest her abdomen and torso (belly and boobs) on my head. It was not like I was leaning on her. It was her who was pushing for my head to be rested on her belly and boobs. It felt so good and comfy. I really felt something uncanny and ancient wake up in me. I felt the maternal spirit or the loving wife that takes care of you on the battlefield. I really had some weird thoughts and flashback as if some memory in my genes were activated.

Men are allowed to drop out of society, there aren't any cables holding us up, for women there are. They just don't think like us because they never had to.

Asked out a girl for the first time myself and she said yes. She fell for me through the texts alone, never even seen me before. How can someone fall for someone with just texts? What does even love mean and where does the excitement come from? Is love and happiness just lack of knowledge or is the perception of identity in interactions inherently skewed and weird to begin with? When she imagines that she loves me, what does she imagine, does she think I'm some sort of good looking prince or is it just the void of image? Does she think about it in a preconceived way, maybe I have said something that even subtextually implied the way I might look or act or function in the real world? Can love between strangers through texts even be considered some twisted form of relationship, platonic or not? In just two days I have to confront with the reality, I know how she looks but she doesn't know how I look, but I liked her before I knew how she looked. In a sense I was bit disappointed when I found out how insanely attractive she really was compared to me, but I don't know, it doesn't really matter.
Always kind of felt a strange sense of deattachment from the real world and the other. Sometimes I don't know which one is more real. If I count up all the hours of my life, I have probably spent more time spelling and watching and reading foreign media than I have interacted with my real world. At that point I kinda don't know which one is the REAL world. What even is my real world? I'm even starting to forget my native language even though I have been here. I have always considered internet to be trash, but I have been nowhere but on the internet, does that mean my entire essence of being is a trash itself?
As terrible as the date might be, I still hope the tiniest bit of relationship we might have wont be like the past only relationship I had, where I couldn't even talk to her and all we did was sex and hug. I want to live, I just don't know how.

Once the fog clears from my head it’s back to gloominess. Well, not immediately, but soot gathers each day until my thoughts are buried. If I’m smart I can keep distracted with art and books and friends. But there’ll still be nights where nothing interests me, even if the stars fell like acorns in my lap. On those nights I just cloister myself in smoke and music. Neither of which are resolutions but I can dance and that’s nice for awhile. Then I get bored, and guilty from being bored knowing there’s things to do. The moon rises and nothing’s in my hands. Tomorrow comes but not really. I snack on fruit to avoid cooking, or worse, sharing the kitchen with family. I look online for films and videogames that I’ll never touch. I’m not going anywhere with this, venting is obsolete, decapitate me, and blow my head into a hot air balloon.

I was laid up in bed one summer night and had been nursing an erection for quite some time. My devotion to no-fap
was growing thin and felt I could bust at any minute. Shining through the darkness of my small Giggleswick flat was a doc on the iron lady
playing on the BBC(BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION). The wrinkles in her face looked like the inside of my mother's yorkshire puddings she'd serve with sunday roast. One fateful sunday evening, I had seen my cousins breasts as she was entering the shower after our meal.
Twas an accident but from that moment on yorkshire puddings would give me uncontrallable boners, ones that would give me terrible headaches
and blur my vision. As they talked about Thatcher's policies on the tele, i heard a ghostly wail, coming from
the corner of my room. "OH GHOSTLY APPARITION FREE ME FROM MY ESSENCE. I YEARN FOR STIMULATION. THE COGNITIVE INCREASE HAS BROUGHT ME NOTHING BUT WOE. I AM A GENIUS AMONG
SNIVELING TROGLYDYTES." I shouted at the peak of my burning ecstasy.
"If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman." replied the ghost.
The dummy thick apparition of Maragret Thatcher threw it back as she faded into reality. The sound of her clapping cheeks sounded like the marching
boots of protesters, strengthening my erection. All those liberal cucks being smited by Maragaret's based and redpilled policies.
Maragret Thatcher was the first female prime minister, she's also the first ghost I've ever fucked. She may have been a conservative
in parliament but in the afterlife she was not conservative with that mouth. Thatcher throated my veiny cock all the way to the base. I could see my cock gliding in and
out of her moist throat through her transluscent neck. The ghostly apparition of Dennis Thatcher looked on as his wife gobbled my balls stroking my cock
with a lively vigour that no live woman could ever achieve. Margaret proceeded to arch that back and let out a pungent brap. Her background in chemistry helped her to produce a formula for
the most intoxicating of winds.

"Save some for me, my dear." meakishly interjected Dennis.
"Quiet you ill-mannered cuckold." barked her excelency.
As I inhaled those magnificent fumes, my pulsating genitlia was summoned to her throbing, and visibly course, pussy. Before I could grace her fanny with my penis, i busted the fattest nut
all over her hungry kitty, getting it wetter than a day spent with the lads pounding pints and doing bingers down in Lankshire.
"I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end," said Mrs. Thatcher, " but in this moment
I am vexed at your impotentcy."
Margarets eyes proceeded to glow a horrifying red, red like the end of my bursted bell end. She opened her mouth wide and let out a terrifying shriek.
"You will now receive my curse! One hundred years of being an incel and a cuckold!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Margaret and Dennis's ghostly apparaitions vanished from my flat. I stood there, sitting up in bed with my cock out covered in my own cum.

could ever feel that heavenly.

Difficult question. I have a friend who's very attractive: short, cute brown hair, massive tits, the whole lot. She also has a down to earth, fun personality. I can talk to her the way I would one of my guy friends; I don't have to censor myself or soften what it is I'm saying for fear of melting her female brain, which is a rare characteristic for a woman to have. We're very close and I've told her multiple times she's like a sister to me and meant it. Is she a real friend? I'd say so. I've had deep conversations with her and we both make each other laugh and enjoy each others company. Now do I want to fuck her? On a physical level yes. She's very fuckable. But on a psychological level my mind really does classify her as "sister" not "fuck toy" (there is a difference, Alabama bros!) I am not romantically attracted to her at all and would never want to date or marry her. Part of this is because, although she's a good friend, she is a turbo whore. I'm talking like 30+ body count. Also she currently does have a bf which always makes women less attractive to me.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. She is a woman and she is my friend. I think she is a rare exception, based on experience. Most women don't "fit in" with male social circles and can't converse with men in a masculine way. I don't have a gf currently but if I did I probably wouldn't be comfortable with her hanging out with a guy friend without me. Call me jealous but I am too keenly aware of the fact that men are usually trying to fuck every hole they see.

The more I read the stupider I become. I can barely interact socially anymore. I can't look at anyone in the face for my shame. I can't stand in the daylight for shame. I can barely do simple math because I question 2+2=4. Everything is overthought. I can hardly read because the more I read the slower I become because I start analyzing every word and every etymology. I never thought I would be a NEET, it's been two years already. I am becoming more conscious of the limitations of my knowledge, thereby becoming more unconscious. The some kid asked me if a coral was a plant, animal, or rock--Aristotle's categories flashed across my mind and I could not give an answer. My iniquity and shame compounds. I have thrown off most my vices in exchange for the archdemon of literacy, and now all I do is read. All I have done is read. And I read without understanding. I have no good works. I am neither hot nor cold. I am a tepid. puddle. of. vomit. I can no longer study nature without being ashamed of my mediocrity, and the complexity of the simplest plant confounds me. So I shut myself into my cement room and cover my windows so the forest doesn't look at me and I don't look at it. My major vice was my imagination and living in the shallow fantasies of my head. Now that I've thrown it off, my head is empty. At this rate I will become mentally retarded after a couple years.

You know I've always liked old myths and legends like that because you know they came from SOMEWHERE.
Like one day I was looking at dungeons and dragons magic and stuff and you know the word 'spell' is simple and innocuous enough, right?
I think that word comes from Muspelheim, (Or Muspell) is a realm of fire. What's synonymous with magic in those games? Ye ol' trusty fireball.
Then again I also think what we call technology today is just magic by another name. There are thousands of years of civilization I haven't unearthed yet and I'm constantly wracking my brain on this stuff. I don't find it hard to believe an old man in a floppy hat and robes carried sulfur and ignited a ball of it and tossed it at someone somewhere thousands of years ago.

I had a dream the other night wherein I had a pet cat, even though I've never owned a cat before. For some reason the thought has just been in my head, and I'm not really sure what to do about it.

I mean, the only experience I've had with cats is that a former roommate of mine briefly watched over his friend's cat in our apartment, and I suppose that was quite an enjoyable experience playing with the cat.

As obvious the solution may be to some, frankly I'm just not sure if my lifestyle is exactly compatible with taking care of a cat, as I can be quite negligent to others at times which is why I haven't mated yet despite my older age.

On a practical level, I am aware of the various risks and responsibilities of cat ownership - vet visits, grooming, food, water, and then putting up with the thing leaving fur everywhere, scratching, jumping, rubbing itself, etc. That things on a logical level are good arguments against this idea of per ownership, and yet, I still find myself drawn towards the idea.

It is a strange feeling. Oh well, I'm sure these thoughts will come to pass.

You could be right, but these communities are infinitely smaller than ours. How many of those are even amicable to men? You have these enclaves like femaledatingstrategy where its clear that men aren't welcome. Regarding females on the internet, what is the ratio 5:1 men? 10:1? 20:1? It's lonely out there. It's been getting to my close friends. Though we have a good friendship, it doesn't cover love and sex. We're only getting older. Times running out and soon we'll be those who didn't just "miss out" but miss important social development for relationships.

I wouldn’t know where to start, I am in stem and research articles are utterly soulless to me, to think that a lot of resources and time goes into a piece of technical jargon for this idea of progress and endless cross-citation, I just see through this paradigm of science equals nature*! and it makes me want to off myself. I am in oceanography, whales get completely digitalized, what you have left isn’t a fish or a mammal, it is just data, and this data will somehow guide us to the future because well that's what science does. Regarding the paper, I blame myself, as I worked for free for two years just doing grunt lab work and analyzing fossil samples at neck speed because I thought I wasn't good enough and had to work even harder, fishing for credentials and gaining experience for this whole quest for glory and an international career. Then I developed a medical condition in my sight due burnout. And decided to quit because it was not going to work out in the long term. I got promised my name would be in a paper as a co-author. I thought it was a collaborative effort among the whole geosciences lab, turns out it wasn't. My advisor just had to shit articles else he was going to be fired. He got fired. I tried to move on with my life, believing the geosciences lab was writing a research paper with my data, yet I had the intuition this advisor was in a bad terms with the lab due to being kicked out. It turned out the rest of the lab didn't know what the heck I had done. Went to confront the advisor, told me he thought we had left in good terms and I wasn't supposed to be angry at him, his whole plan was to find someone else to analyze the data and that the worst thing that could happen would be that the research would never be published. This happened three months ago, I am a dumbass, I should have just gone the hell out of there when I could, I didn't exactly compromise to write the paper and appear as a first author, just that I would think about it, play with the raw data. Fast forward I haven't done shit. And honestly abandoning that project in silence seems more appealing to me than further engagement. It seems as sunk cost fallacy to me, saving face due to the fact I cannot face the weight of my own choices. I cannot just shut up and calculate. I may be a brainlet, I find this whole thing so boring and disheartening. I don’t want fuckers having power over my reputation. I would wish everything had worked out and people thought well of me, got a graduate degree and all that good shit, yet I don’t find myself functioning in this meritocracy stuff. As >>18658077 said, I find far more interesting park ranger jobs and earning bucks than trying to always be right and lower my head under authority figures. I don't find confident over my ability to turn around my life finding a job I actually like outdoors yet it is the only thing I have going on if I wish to find hope in life, else I am going to be stuck in this shit forever.

"Merrily merrily merrily, life is but a nightmare." Truthfully, I heard this being sung at low volume by an older man who works at the same casino as me and it struck me in some odd way that I do not have the words for but knew there was something so I wrote it down for memory's sake. To what, I still have no answer for, and like most things its transient nature lends oneself to conclude without doubt that it indeed had just as much value in it as its nature implies: that of ever fleeting nothingness.

I wonder what that man who is just employed to clean things, take care of trash, and all those sorts of things thinks about me. We have never once spoken and are not likely to ever. His gaze darts away from mine if our attentions ever near, always head down and going on along as he does. My place at the casino is one of higher social worth—a dealer of every game, a former pitboss, handsome and congenial. Yet still, in this small gap there is between us what makes there any difference in the world at large? Why should two humans be so far apart and for so many years in such close proximity to each other when in reality our places are not too different and our ending place the same? I do not even know his name, I wonder if he even knows mine?

I'm so horny I really wanna fuck
Everything makes me horny
I feel like my entire reason for living is my sexual drive which is ridiculous but true if I am honest with myself
But I don't really feel like it's a mechanical desire
The things that turn me on are so situational and specific I think it's some kind of erotic location error mechanism
I'm so turned on by shoes and certain psychological archetypes or certain little details
Certain body types and certain eye shapes and certain very specific gestures and mannerisms or something in somebody's tone of voice
This can trigger a long fantasy trip in the insane nsfw spectacle of my mind
All the art I make boils down to this ultimately, trying to outline the archetypes of what turns me on and everything I think about "conceptually", even all these abstract ideas I have about systems and language can be reduced to a "sensualist" fancy it's just me jerking myself off mentally in my mind

I decided to finally indulge and entertain this recent cat ownership fantasy of mine, having never owned a pet before.

From what I understand watching several YouTube videos today, the most cost-efficient feline acquisition process itself is fairly straightforward, just visit a shelter for adoption and learn more about the cat's history, if neutered/spayed, declawed (which is bad), microchipped, vaccinated, etc.

Then comes the task of pet-proofing the home with baby locks and removing the legs on the couch to limit hiding spaces. Afterwards, ordering a stainless steel pet feeding bowl, water fountain, carrier/cage, and cat tree with scratching posts. Oh and two litter boxes from what I read, to change daily and with strictly unscented litter.

Then in regards to food, a mix of wet and dry to be safe, although wet is preferable. A fishing pole toy also seems to be necessary as a means of regular play while I'm at home, also to be done daily.

Pet insurance seems to be a necessity as well. Perhaps a kind of GPS collar too, although that doesn't quite make a lot of sense for an indoor cat.

Maybe this is all overkill, I do see how I am already spoiling a cat I don't have. During my travels in the third world, I saw stray cats everywhere that can only dream of the potential luxuries journaled here.

But this is if I even proceed with this silly little notion.

“The painter Kramskoy has a remarkable painting entitled The Contemplator: it depicts a forest in winter, and in the forest, standing all by himself on the road, in deepest solitude, a stray little peasant in a ragged caftan and bast shoes; he stands as if he were lost in thought, but he is not thinking, he is "contemplating" something. If you nudged him, he would give a start and look at you as if he had just woken up, but without understanding anything. It's true that he would come to himself at once, and yet, if he were asked what he had been thinking about while standing there, he would most likely not remember, but would most likely keep hidden away in himself the impression he had been under while contemplating. These impressions are dear to him, and he is most likely storing them up imperceptibly and even without realizing it--why and what for, he does not know either; perhaps suddenly, having stored up his impressions over many years, he will drop everything and wander off to Jerusalem to save his soul, or perhaps he will suddenly burn down his native village, or perhaps he will do both.
There are a good many "contemplatives" among our peasants. And Smerdyakov was probably one of them. And he was probably greedily hoarding up his impressions, hardly knowing why."

I'm at a point in my career where if I worked hard, I have like an 80% chance at landing a job at NASA after I graduate college, since my college has a link to NASA and most people who really want to work there can do it via this link. However, space isn't really one of my natural interests. Really, the reason it sounds appealing to me is because I don't want to work for a soulless corporation, and if I had a boring normalfag job at some top 500 company it would be hard to stay motivated. So even if I'm not automatically drawn to it, maybe it's worth pursuing. After all, even if I don't get the job, my resume will look a lot better from trying and I should be able to get something good anyway.

Working for a major, famous company (like a video game studio) probably wouldn't be all that fun, with lots of overtime and stuff, but I want to try living there for the experience. It's probably an inferior dream to the NASA one though so I should probably chase that one instead.

I never read Homer in school and last Christmas I bought myself The Iliad, The Odyssey, and The Aeneid kind of on a whim.

I recently started The Iliad but by Book 20 I was finding it a chore to read and I decided to stop and read summaries of the final chapters. I enjoyed it quite a bit up until then, especially the rhythmic and powerful language, but the endless descriptions of battle became so tedious.

Is The Odyssey a bit more enthralling? I'm hoping since it has a wider scope than a few days of battle I'll find it more engaging but I'm thinking of reading something else first like Swann's Way or East of Eden.

I remember being there. Probably the worst year of my life, though the competition is growing. Honestly though, if you did well your first few years of undergrad then even in this bad spot you don't have much to worry about in practical terms. Pick out some grad school programs you like based on what your profs tell you about them and apply to four or five: you'll probably get at least one. And I'm not saying to just wing it, try to study some, but the GRE is not that hard. It's like ACT/SAT but a tiny bit tougher ie has pre-cal on it, iirc.

What's the point of this fag's shitty debates with random SJWs? Neither side is saying anything profound or interesting. Neither side is interested in truth at all.
One person says "You're a big meanie if you don't use tranny pronouns" and then Jordan Peterson says "B-b-but it is my right as an individual to not use your pronouns if I don't want to. Personally I will use your pronouns because I am not a hateful Nazi bigot, but you can't force someone to use your pronouns if they don't want to."
Wow amazing. What an insightful debate. Neither of them are actually making real, solid claims about anything true, they're are just bickering about some gay pronouns.

I feel like I'm speedrunning life and only reaching lobbies of different levels, checking them out and moving on. Any time I try to play a level, I feel rather as if I hit the pause button to distract myself with the drama of actually playing the game. As if my life only feels real when playing the metagame; the actual game is trivial and performative.

I think this means that I will be done playing sooner, either by physical or ego death. In any case, it will be a good death, and I will have left a full life behind, even if from the outside it seemed rushed.

I'm in a god grad school program and doing well. I can easily imagine a good career in science. My topic is interesting, and, while I am no genius, I could likely play my part.

The prospect of academia once seemed a great alternative to 'real life' or a 'real job'. Now that I'm in it, most of the time I am bored and conversations are mostly small talk and complaining. It's all productivity, mental health, and code or spreadsheets.

My rambling point is, it's probably a crapshoot. If going for it seems fun or at least not miserable, you have little to lose, and if at worst you end up with increased mobility, that's not a bad deal.
If it just seems like a drag, then what's the point anyway?

I remembered this one incident back from 2019 I had. I'm a poorfag student from a lower middle class home so I stay at an off-campus dorm, and I'm the poorest here. My clothes
have holes in them, my shirt, jeans, socks, etc. I look and feel raggedy. A couple of friends I have here awkwardly look away from me when the matter of money and expenses comes up in our discussion, and it is terribly painful to sit through such things, and so on blah blah. Now one morning, during a particularly cold winter and a particularly rough stretch where I had very little money and very little energy to work, I found myself starving and delirious. I barely managed to scrape together some coins I had laying about in my dorm room's cupboard, so I got me a chocolate bar from a vending machine. It hurt my teeth because I couldn't afford toothpaste at the time but it really hit the spot despite the pain. So with that chocolate and my raggedy felt coat and hand-me-down beanie sent to me from my dad, I walked to campus. On my way there, amidst a crowd of people, all better dressed than me, a beggar walked by and started harassing me for my chocolate, screaming at me to "ignore the others and their stares and to help your fellow man out". I was, and still am, very physically weak, so I couldn't fight this guy without risking getting an arm or something broken, but there was something cosmically unfair in the entire situation when I think back to it. There I am, in my clothes barely better than this guy bothering me, looking absolutely exhausted, amidst an entire crowd of fair better dressed and seemingly better off people, having used the last money I could find to get something to eat, being harassed to give my food over. Everyone else looked at me and this guy, and I looked around as if wondering if I was in a dream. I was very surprised to see everyone else was looking at me, almost ashamed to even acknowledge my existence (I am not delusional! I even looked into the eyes of a guy who stood right next to me, who looked at me and not at the guy shouting standing right next to me). I still think about this moment, because I ended up giving the beggar my chocolate. I ended up not eating for the week thereafter, and not seeing this beggar again ever again, and I remember how angry I felt back then. I felt I wanted to actually kill every single person standing there, since they all ended up going back to whatever they were doing after I did that, without a care in the world. I remember that feeling especially now since it's winter again here, and I am feeling very cold.
