My sister recently divorced her husband and moved her and the kids into a new home. My entire family was against the divorce, myself included. My sister decided to go to a lake for the weekend with the kids and my father decided it's time we set up shelves in her new garage.
Now I got to waste my Saturday helping move trash in and out of the garage, because of course my busy sister couldn't organise the area we were going to work in.
I fucking hate how my family works and I sincerely need to move the fuck out so I don't have to deal with their horseshit anymore. She may be my sister but she initiated the divorce, without my poor parents she'd be under water right now, and I'm caught as a pawn linked by fealty to my father in this retarded game.

Climate change is always present on my mind. It's like a Sword of Damocles which hangs over my life. I know it's going to fall. I know that civilization is going to collapse. I know Europe and America will be overrun by refugees and destroyed, and that vast swathes of the Earth will be uninhabitable. I know the natural world is doomed, and that precious ecosystems will be in ruins. I know that billions, quite possibly including me and my loved ones, will die or have their lives changed greatly because of climate change.

At this point I've accepted it's going to happen, and while it makes me sad that no one in power cared, it is a reminder of sorts. I try to enjoy each day. I try to spend time with my family and to be thankful for what I have, because the day is coming that it will all be lost.

You’re going to increasingly see narratives like “climate change is extremely serious but the worst case scenario isn’t as serious as we thought” and “we have more time if we act now”. What I’m trying to say is climate change is very real. Climate catastrophe is potentially on the horizon either. But the enormous black pill that you and everyone else will have to swallow is that it’s not the civilization ender. No. That would be too merciful. Things are going to get worse but they’re going to go on that way for a long, long time.

Uh, most of North Africa was really vehement about keeping Sharia courts alongside the imperial colonial courts when they were owned by France. It's because France didn't recognize female property owners if they had a living father or husband, and didn't allow for divorce.

I dislike DFWs writing but he was absolutely right about the decay of sincerity in our times. I still think it's possible to have close relationships with others but making them seems to become harder. daily conversations always seem like they have to be coated in sarcasm, at least with people you aren't well-acquainted with. this is reflected in books, movies, TV. not sure if it has anything to do with life generally becoming more comfortable. maybe back then they were more aware of other's sufferings so it was more important to be authentic than funny.

I think the reason I've failed at getting into guitar playing is that I don't give a shit about the guitar itself but about making cool sounds, and doing that is way harder than it looks. You expect to just be able to plug your guitar in and turn on the plugins and it sounds great but it actually takes having a really good ear and knowing the ins and outs of your gear, and so far I haven't been able to accomplish that

bass is the same way. the raddest bass songs are mostly about the sound which depends a lot on the strings, their tightness and sometimes alternate tunings. anyone can sound like the bassline on rapper's delight, but try to sound like the guy from korn. whether korn is good or not is not the issue so much as the guy uses a 5 string bass with a drop tuning and loose as fuck strings, so that guitar center thing you got for christmas prob ain't gonna cut it.

It's confusing because someone told me the design of an electric guitar doesn't affect how it sounds outside of what pickups you have and how they're placed, what strings you use, etc. but even if I pirate a professional plugin like Amplitube and use the best presets it doesn't sound close to what the songs sound like. Of course a lot of that is EQ and compressor but we're talking about the overall sound, not just modifying the volume. If I want my guitar to sound like a Hendrix tone it's not easy.

It's the same reason people embrace nihilism: "Everything is meaningless, so I can create the meaning I want".

Personally I kind of find that goes against the concept of atheism though. If there really is no god and everyone is free to do what they want, then people who want to believe god exists can do so so long as they don't try to force people that don't want to be religious into a religious lifestyle. Of course, there are plenty of religions and religious people that do that... but a lot of atheists paint in broad brush strokes and assume that's anyone who belongs to any sort of religion, and that it's their duty to "free" those people from their "illusion", ironically enough imposing their ideals and will onto others which is the antithesis of what atheism and nihilism is all about

At what point is someone your best friend? Do you even have to like them - is it just familiarity/experiences shared?

>> No.18850645

>>18850618
I feel like "best friends" are cultivated through shared trials and tribulations. Familiarity and experiences shared definitely help with that, but what I think matters the most is whether you have the ability to have fights and disagreements and then work through them constructively so you can ultimately forgive each other and put it behind you. It requires (most of the time) a compromise on both sides- sometimes it involves swallowing your pride, sometimes it takes being more patient and understanding than you would be normally, sometimes you have to sacrifice something for the sake of the relationship, etc. The thing that will pull the two of you through is your desire to stay with each other even if it means changing yourself or the way you live or treat them.

You could say the same of romantic relationships, but they also say the only relationships that last are the ones where you're both lovers and best friends

OEFanon here. All this Afghanistan shit fills me up with genuine fucking fury. I went through a year of absolute hell fighting in that country. Friends of mine got fucked up and killed and I've been dealing with it for the last decade. To hear we'd left in the MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING NIGHT without telling anyone was one thing. It's another entirely to see the Taliban sweeping across the country with success after success after success. Yes, it was my choice to fight in that war, and you might not agree with my decision or my country's decision to go to war in the first place. But god fucking damn it, the way we exited was so fucking unnecessary. From the bottom of my heart I hope Biden catches some real fucking evil for this. Because of where I am, who I am, and given the confluence of """"risky demographics"""" which in me find overlap, I attach this disclaimer that I will never myself commit any violence against Joe Biden or any agent/citizen of the United States. Hell, I do my best to avoid hurting anything these days. But none of that stops me from sincerely wishing death or severe injury on Biden for his completely chickenshit hack job of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. My buddies are dead and I'm fucked up from it. The way he handled our withdrawal spits on all of us. From the bottom of my heart and with the deepest, most bitter fucking vitriol I can muster: FUCK YOU, NOW AND FOREVER, JOE BIDEN.

This is not about "winning wars". No one fucks with the US hegemony for good reason, they are simply too strong. However, the US is seemingly unable to maintain and administrate its colonies with soft power the same way that, say, the British did. As soon as domestic support wanes for the occupation of a particular country the US will just pull out and leave the local government to its own devices. And this is the behaviour they display again and again. So it is not surprising that hostile factions just bide their time and wait for that moment.

It's very much related to its military power. It fails to hold territory despite greater firepower, funding, and provisioning. The US military is in a worse state than when it was starting fighting a lot of those wars too. The idea that the US wins wars is kind of like the idea that NK wins wars: it's really only possible to believe when isolated from information sources other countries rely on.

I'm doing it. I'm fucking doing it. This is what I'll dedicate my life to. I'm joining a quantum mechanics course. It'll take me roughly 5 years to sort my finances for it, in the meantime, I'll self-study/re-polish up my mathematics, physics, as well as philosophy. I realised that there's a higher power in the universe (not necessarily an anthropomorphic one like the human idea of deities), and it has left its code behind in the annals of matter and space-time. The laws of physics exist. There is no such thing as randomness and statelessness. There is an order to the universe. Space & time are information storage media. The DNA of matter is hidden in the quark and the electron. I am going to get to the bottom of this mystery with a multi-disciplinarian approach, I will walk in the trails of the polymaths of old, as science should have never separated from philosophy.

The Taliban Reader: War, Islam and Politics in their Own Words
>Who are the Taliban? Are they a militant movement? Are they religious scholars? The fact that these and other questions are still raised with frequency is testimony to the way the movement has been studied, often at arm’s length and with scant use of primary sources. The Taliban Reader forges a new path, bringing together an extensive range of largely unseen sources in a guide to the Afghan Islamist movement from a unique insider perspective. Ideal for students, journalists and scholars alike, this book is the result of an unprecedented, decade-long effort to encourage the emergence of participant-centered accounts of Afghan history. This ground-breaking collection, ranging from news articles and opinion pieces to online publications and poems transcribed by hand in the field, sets the stage for a recalibration of how we understand and study the Afghan Taliban. It challenges researchers to forge new norms in the documentation of conflict and provides insight into the future trajectory of political Islamism in South Asia and the Middle East.

Another rotten day. Not as rotten as Monday’s, but another one of those days we could do without. And when you look at the graphs, it’s taking the same nasty turn we took at the beginning of March. The stakeholders have entered the acceptance phase and we are acting as if there was no other solution than a new containment. The “curfew” theory had obviously worked better when Paris was under German domination in 1944 – but there, while the ingenious method put in place by our rulers has not even had time to prove itself, we are already promised a second layer of sanctions and punishments that should make the curfew a rather nice option. In any case, the speakers and other investment experts are preparing for the second wave and the second attempt to destroy the economy in the form we know it, not to mention the fact that we are very well understanding that the concept of freedom, we can kindly hang it behind our ears, we are sheep and we have nothing more to decide. Democracy has already entered the museum of politics and all we have to do now is deal with it from a distance to have something to do with our days of confinement. In the situation we’re in, the markets look like they’re in a mild coma, but are just awake enough to drop gently, day after day. The question being: “when are we going to stop? “and in whom or what can we place our hopes?

>> No.18854338

>>18854233
First: count your calories. How much you eat will affect your weight more than any amount of exercise ever will. If you don't get your nutrition right, you won't lose fat. Weigh your food, then either look at the label or look up how many calories it has per 100g and plug the numbers in. You will keep doing this until you are able to estimate calories roughly by eyesight.

Second: this is not a diet. Get the diet mentality out of your head immediately, it will lead you to yo-yo your whole life, as I used to. No, watching what you eat and being mindful about it is not a diet, it's the right way to live. More than anything, you have to be mindful of your portions, it's not like you can't spare yourself the occasional ice cream or burger or whatever, but eat them while keeping the other stuff you ate/are going to eat later in mind. Don't eat on impulse.

Third: change how you eat. Get used to chewing a lot more. Chewing more helps with digestion, but most importantly, it makes you feel satiated quicker.

Four: be careful of oils and dairy, they are deceptively high in calorie.

Five: get in the habit of cooking yourself. And eat more veggies and seafood.

Six: it's OK to indulge sometimes. If indulging 1 day of the week will help you keep in check the other 6 days, then do it. But try to avoid it if you can, especially starting out, you have to wean yourself off of junk first.

Seven: The longer you do this, the more your appetite and palate will change. I used to be a major sweet tooth 3 years ago. Now? I haven't craved sweet stuff for like 2 years, I actually prefer savory over sweet. And I also don't like greasy foods either. The healthier you try to eat, the easier it will actually be down the line. Do not think that you're going to spend the rest of your life craving junk food, your mind itself will change to suit your dietary habits.

And that's pretty much it in a general sense.
