Everyone has their story, don’t they? For me it was at summer camp; it was after sunset, and while everyone was walking down to the campfire we snuck off. Well for me it was in the morning; I crept through the dewy grass and mist to her tent before the others woke. For I… well, it wasn’t at any camp: we were neighbors, but our houses were separated by a copse; there was nature trail which ran through it, connecting her backyard with mine; I remember one autumn afternoon walking down it to her place, and I knew then it would happen; and we were in love, at the time. And they cherish these stories in a melancholic sort of way. And what they would give to live it again. And what would I give? What they’d give to go back I’d give the same to visit for the first time.

These stories are things that can only be cherished from afar, after separation by time, or separation by alienation, like a petrified plant in a display case. And it all seems sad. And this sadness is ineluctable. That is, you can’t tell a young person, before their big date, what with your teary eyes, to enjoy being young. Because he will look into your eyes and see, though his watery reflection, you. And he will see you as a youth, and he will see death, and he will think about death. And when he is lying in her bedroom, or in the backseat of his car, he will be thinking about death. And he won’t be thinking about her.

The storied old person can only speak in a quavering voice. The young person cannot speak until he has finished writing his story. But the old person who hasn’t a story to tell… well, for him there isn’t much to say.

CompSci, Software Engineering, to some degree even EE are completely overrun. Both in academia as well as in the industry. These people are, for the most part, fucking retarded. Get ready to work with shitty bloated technology, get ready for repetitive work, clueless coworkers and superiors, etc.
Programming is a tiny fraction of the actual work you'll do, the majority is endless, pointless meetings, writing mountains of documentation that no one ever reads and babysitting aforementioned coworkers. This industry is hell. Also, look forward to being outsourced to your work being outsourced to India and Eastern Europe. If only I hadn't dropped out of my humanities major.

I understand that. I think most of us are in for shitty careers no matter what field we choose, and that finding a good job is pure luck but at least with CS you'll have expendable income and opportunities
For me the decision came to wanting a career where I can easily find work almost anywhere in the world, and it's probably the best job in the world for that. You just have to get some experience and, if you're American at least, you can basically get hired anywhere else in the world

The caveat of course is that like you said the industry is totally overrun. The standards are so high here that unless you have both projects and internships to show off, 90%+ of your applications anywhere won't even grant an interview. It is scary to think what it will be like in 10 or 20 years when you'll need multiple internships, projects, and research during undergrad to get a job. That part of it sucks. I'm a 3rd year and I lack anything to show off on my resume, and now I regret it

How much talking to myself is too much? I know I'm talking to myself and I don't hear voices or anything, but I do have conversations in my head both with made up and real people. I started doing this as a kid because I was lonely and had no one to talk with about my interests, but the habit just stuck around.
I recently realized that sometimes I talk out loud if I'm paying more attention to these made up conversations than my surroundings especially if I'm dead tired. I also started arguing a few months ago, (maybe years, not sure) where the imagined person I'm talking to doesn't understand something or is just being a contrarian. I went as far as searching for some picture on the internet to prove a point. Again, I know I'm imagining it all, but sometimes I really get into these conversations and because I don't want to just interrupt the flow of these fantasies since on some level talking or arguing brings me a bit of pleasure, they sometimes bleed over into reality.
Am I loosing it or what?

I spoke to a girl at the school I attended last year and although I never spoke to her except to say hello, she knew my name, the class I was in, the class I went to, my friends and various other things about me whereas I didn't even know her first name. Generally speaking, since I greet almost everyone I meet, I realize that information circulates very quickly, and if you are a little eccentric or remarkable, people are easily taken by curiosity. In the same way, while I had barely implied to someone that I was sleeping at the boarding school during a week when I was expelled, the next day absolutely everyone I met knew about it except the supervisors. Social structures seem much more subtle and efficient to me now that I know a little bit about the nerve center of the web and I better understand the power and usefulness of human networks. I also understand better the hermits and the voluntarily solitary men because relationships are very quick to paralyze the concentration on oneself.

There was a mass psychological operation conducted and I participated. It involved using my psyche and character, glorifying it, demonizing it, agitating it. But I know deep down I'm an under developed neurotic lowly uneducated man, with no friends. I know that if this operation never happened I would be regarded as human filth. They would try to kick me out of their society or throw me some coins and pressure me to get a low tier job and to shut my mouth. I'm alienated even when systematically integrated and glorified.

Aristotle had the idea of ordinary language philosophy 2300 years before Wittgenstein. How come no one talks about this?
>Moreover, you should define what kind of things should be called as most men call them, and what should not. For this is useful both for establishing and for overthrowing a view: e.g. you should say that we ought to use our terms to mean the same things as most people mean by them, but when we ask what kind of things are or are not of such and such a kind, we should not here go with the multitude: e.g. it is right to call 'healthy' whatever tends to produce health, as do most men: but in saying whether the object before us tends to produce health or not, we should adopt the language no longer of the multitude but of the doctor.

Do you even need to ask? Most people don't want to put in the effort to read a 2000 year old tome called "prior analytics" and "posterior analytics" because it doesn't sound "new" or "fresh." Everyone wants to pretend they've made some huge discovery when in reality the intellectual giants already solved all of the major problems, and even went further than that. And that without even putting the effort in of seriously studying intellectual giants like Aristotle. Most philosophers (especially modern ones) might read a few excerpts from the Metaphysics, Physics, De Anima, along with some lecture slides or what their professor told them, and then conclude that Aristotle is a backwater unsophisticated pagan who wasn't up to date with the latest groundbreaking existentialist angst.

do not use duolingo for japanese, it's dogshit and you are wasting your own time with an already difficult language. do not use duolingo for anything, it is literally designed to dripfeed you and keep you on the app every single day which is retarded if you want to make genuine progress.
take a day and learn the kana (both hiragana and katakana). this is not difficult and there are plenty of apps that you can use to force learn them by rote in a span of like 12 hours. you could even use this site if you wish
https://itazuraneko.neocities.org/learn/kana.html
memorising kana is not difficult, you don't need to spend more than 2 days on it at most
once you've learned the kana and can begin to read words with relative speed and ease, then buy or pirate genki 1 and the workbook, and then genki 2 and the workbook and get started on working through them. this is how everybody should start, then just start using anki flashcards and all that shit for kanji, or get a book like RTK. read the leddit guides on r/LearnJapanese, there are plenty and the resources are there if you look.

Yes. I sometimes post ITT about being a receptionist when this question is asked. I'm sitting here behind my desk and reading philosophy and writing my big book about Russian art. I have my laptop with me and I am learning art history. Sometimes people ask me for keys and information and I answer the phone, but there aren't many things to do. I only earn minimum wage. I'm broke as fuck. I recently got an offer for a job that pays 4k euros a month as a personal assistant because they needed someone who speaks the four languages I speak and I refused. I imagined a daily life where I cannot just read and write my book all the time and instead have to actively do shit for someone, I understood that I don't want that. It made me realize that I don't care about the money, I am really happy with the way I live. I'd rather be broke.

i wish i knew how to write in a way that didn't make me viscerally embarrassed on re-reading.
it's not usually so bad for matter of fact stuff. i usually throw in a lot of "pretentious" stylistic flourishes or whatever which i might not think were in the best of taste later, but if i've written a good rundown on the Hittites i'm not going to be too bothered that the style is bad.

but whenever I write fiction, and especially dialogue from any specific character, suddenly it becomes crushing. In some cases I can't even open the documents that I've written to see what worked and didn't work because of how strong the embarrassment is at reading a few of the words and remembering the general outline. Not in a helpful way where I can learn from what the problem is, just in a general way from which nothing can be learned except "Don't write". But that's not really an option if I want to get general ideas down somewhere. Even films, games, comics, and so on need writing.

I used to be extremely introverted a few years ago, to the extent that I was practically a hermit. Then I read about the Puer aeternus and some Nietzschean literature and start having self-doubts. So I decided to change my life - I started dressing well, went to parties and bars my with my old friends, met some girls and would have long conversations with them under the starry sky. After two years of this ‘experiment’, I ended all of it and returned to being a hermit. You normies will never understand the immense joy I feel now that I never have to talk to vapid females again about their travels to Istanbul, or sit in a room filled with foul cannabis smoke and Eminem music, or pretend to care about some stupid triviality.

I was like this and then once I reached my late twenties, I noticed my hair was thinning and my hairline receding like crazy. You won’t notice it until it’s pretty far gone. My advice is to start looking at methods to keep your hair because trust me, you’ll want it once you start losing it. If your grandparents are bald, you’re almost certainly balding. Losing tons of hair isn’t normal healthy hair.

What I would do is get on ketoconazole and some thickening conditioner which claims to suppress DHT. See if that slows the shedding after a month or two. You may want to introduce a dermapen or dermaroller too. That seems to help. The proper response is finasteride and/or minoxidil, but do this other stuff first and see if it works since they have less side effects. If it doesn’t, you might want to consider finasteride and minoxidil.

I'm just lurking /lit/ to see what it's all about, but I saw this thread and would like to share

So I have a black notebook that I've been writing in for maybe 4-5 years about things that I wish I could tell people but they either just don't care or disregard it as "haha Anon you're crazy, let's go smoke some more pot." I'm gonna share one bit of it for you guys. Sorry if you guys are anal about grammar, because I definitely never listened in English class. Side note, as I read this I realized its kind of cringe but whatever I'll write it word for word anyway.
Okay, I'm having a really hard time trying to explain this in my way, it just keeps turning into biblical sounding crap. Let's start with a story. Back before I moved to [nope] I used to be a huge stoner, I've dissociated, I've forgotten how to breathe, I remembered my death when I was a baby, which is where the rabbit hole started, since then it's like I came into myself. It's when I started getting those mossy flashes, but I think the most important thing is that I learned that that memory of me drowning was all the way back, the farthest thing back in my head. And I learned that memory was a kind of door or cork, and when you find something like that, you want to open it. so I meditated, and I looked for any memory that could act as a key, and I found it, but it's not a memory, it's a moment.

It's that moment of true inner peace at the end of a long, happy life. And when you've finally found peace, that door opens, the cork pops, the fucking anus prolapses, and your life forth dimensionally folds from positive to negative, leaving your dirty husk behind. Death may be ugly, but on the other side, it's as beautiful as death.

The dream's meaning is clear. the death of your father left a void where the patriarch should be. Now i'm not sure if you have any brothers or maybe close uncles, but what ever the case is, your psyche now thinks that it's your responsibility to fulfill that role and take charge of the family. It's directing you to assert your authority by showing you a display of masculine imagery over the female memebers of your family. Masculine energy and patriarchal authority is symbolically represented through the phallis, so naturally the image your psyche shows to you is a sex act. You need to actualize the directives of your subconscious by making sweet love to your sister. Don't wear a condom. Go in raw and be very passionate with her. Make sure she knows that you're her daddy now.

I have shit health so I will probably need to live not too far from civilization unless I wanna die in ~1 year. Other than that I want absolute minimalism.

And today, I'm quite stressed because we still haven't talk. I'm waiting for her to start a conversation since this morning, but still it didn't happened. I don't know if I should write for first, because I don't want to look like clingy. Also, I'm so insecure about these things, because with some of the (really few) girls I've dated, the convos died the day right after our date. Before I actually met her I wasn't that interested, and she was so talkative.

there are many ideas about this I suppose. what is worth having and what is worth losing your peace of mind over. but also- when do you hate? I think hating a person and hating a thing or a phenomenon are different things. You can't wish harm upon a thing, so I'm not sure it is really the same emotion. You can "hate" that your friend has cancer, but you can not meaningfully wish to harm cancer for the sake of seeing it suffer.

I'd say it's coherent to hate some abstracts and not others. You can hate a behavior and by extension people who practice. Or hate a certain mindset and by extension people who have it. Yet it'd be nonsensical to hate death itself.

Maybe we have different ideas of hate too. If hate is something that causes bitterness, resentment and makes you lose sleep at night, that's ill advised. If however by hate we mean a poised, controlled and rational sentiment of aversion, distaste and possibly confrontation, I'd say It's alright.

I really can’t decide if I want to do this car camping thing. What I would really like to do is spend some time in a cabin, but I can’t do that because I don’t have enough money and I’m not certain I want to buy the land. What I can do is take like 6 months to 1 year and just live out of my truck somewhere in a wilderness area. But what am I really achieving by doing that? It’s not what I really want to do. I’d have to quit my job do it. And I’d probably burn through all my savings pretty quickly. Man, I don’t know.

That sounds like a horrible idea. You would probably regret doing it just a few days in. Not everyone is forest anon. Plus there's the chance of weather and car issues being a problem, and if by the end of it you don't have any savings or a job, in a bad job market that could mean homelessness. Don't be this reckless anon.
Why not just go for a week first? Renting a cabin somewhere for a week or so shouldn't be that expensive (just don't go for a fancy place with hot tubs and all that) and that won't cause any issues with your job and all that. From my experience even a week in a cabin is great and it can actually get a bit boring after that.
If that works, you can start making longterm plans for buying or building one.

I would like to be rich so I can live my life as artistically as possible. Without work I would have spent my days studying and listening to the symphonies, cantatas, oratorios and passacaglias of the best composers, reading the most beautiful verses of the poets and contemplating the most splendid masterpieces of the painters. I could also have devoted myself entirely to studying the thoughts of profound intelligences, to producing and improving my creations, to walking and appreciating the beauties of creation, that of the flowers of zinnias, of the moonlight and the reflections in the hair of my beloved. I could have led an eremitic life in seclusion and adoration if I had been so inclined. I could have applied myself more actively to open the wings of my soul, and in a broadening of my scope I could have risen to the heights of sensibility, of elegance of mind, of height of vision and of contemplation of divine things. And in this healthy otium there would have been no other privations than mortifications, I would have been able to live in a beautiful building, in a charming place with a large garden, to have lunch at my convenience with all the people whose presence is pleasant to me and we would have been able to exchange at leisure on the lightest trifle as well as on an important subject in a kindly conviviality. I could have helped the afflicted and the needy without fear of stunting the inheritance of my offspring, ensured the quality of my children's education and along a kind life peacefully walked to death without fear or worry.
But I am not rich and I am forced to consume my days in senseless activities, among people who are too different from me to prepare me for a job that will offer me a salary anyway too short to allow me all the largesse I would like to do. Life is decidedly full of affliction.

I'm pro vaccine, but I don't think people should be required to have it outside certain circumstances. Total vaccination doesn't really happen in reality. I don't think we should rely on it. I think we could get out of this shitshow much easier if we just told everyone who tests positive they get a free paid holiday with all free subscription services and electricity and delivery of their takeaway of choice for two weeks. People not catching it from other people is way better maintained by distance and ventilation rather than giving people the impression the vaccine is the be all and end all. The only way it could work to end it is in conjunction with giving people ways to not pass it on that are all much cheaper long term.

I put my card into the pump but it kept telling me to go see the attendant. I told him my pump number and he kept asking me how much I wanted, but I didn't know what to answer with. I stopped at 3 different gas stations and ended up going home in frustration, skipping class. I told my mom what happened and later found out the card I was using was deactivated since I had activated a new card yesterday that the bank had sent me.

The Hutu and the Tutsi thing happened because, well, Belgium. Before colonial rule, they weren't genetic groups. They were kind of social positions, like being a shepherd or potato farmer. But then they got colonized and it got interpreted as a caste thing: people who herd animals and people who farm got put into this hierarchy that had whichever empire had just invaded them with steamships and superior fire power on top. But then Belgium decided to give them all cards and educate them on how this was a bloodline difference, and, very importantly, that savages tended to kill whichever bloodline acted the most like houseniggers when colonial powers left. They thought that was a good way to educate them towards independence. If you ever want to see what an internet white supremacist colony would look like, check out Belgium in the industrial age.

I figured out yet again that I am terrible at gauging the age of women I meet.
Lemme set the scene- it's the first week of class at a new school for me, and at the end of a lecture I get the number of a girl sitting nearby for class purposes, who tells me she's just transferred in from community college. Which is a pleasant surprise since I am in the exact same situation. So, I figure she's roughly 21 like me. Turns out she's at least 26 from a quick search on social media. Worse yet, she's attractive and seems well traveled and social, while I was thinking she was just a cc-fag like me. I know social media is just social media, but I feel like she would just see me as a child, since I already basically look like a freshman.
Feels bad bros.
Another thing is that I was about stay in that class, which is notorious for being difficult and not even part of my major, because I thought I might be able to get to know her and possibly smash. But now that ain't happening for sure. Don't think with your dick my brothers. If her profile was private, then I wouldn't have found out and maybe stuck it out in that class, suffered academically, and been disappointed with the outcome anyways.

The system is rattling away and out of control going over a cliff. All those in power are only concerned with making “profits”
The system is only aiming to strap you into a work gang and waste your life that way.

You’ve grown this little thorny plant in your chest.
Stop projecting some chastity test on someone you’re supposed to love.
Ha. You don’t want love. You want a mail order bride. A maid, a personal prostitute. Most unromantic type of male. Be single. Water that little thistle of yours.

My male tulpa waifu is also based on a real person, but anyway, Dante's Beatrice was a highly idealized version of the existing Beatrice and didn't have much to do with her anyway.

I think we should start a petition to ban write what's on your mind threads entirely. This shit has become culture over content, and the unifying them of the board won't be books if it becomes a board to spam because you're lonely and want (You)s. OP doesn't bring any literature to the board, and probably kills two threads a day. I know this is going to sound retardedly simple, but if you posted about books with the same fanaticism maybe you wouldn't be lonely enough to do this bullshit, because you'd have common interest with the board.

I just got back to the states after visiting europe, which always sparks a lot of thought about the current state of our nation and its destiny. everywhere I look, both on the news and in my own life I see rot setting in. On the news our regime lost a war to goat herders, a virus it accidentally created has won and will be with the human race until the end of days, and in my own community a pretty normal thunderstorm knocked out our power for three whole days. the aristocrats, the educated people spend all their energy trying to pad their own vanity. theyre either trying to puff themselves up with this activism shit or they're working behind a computer making extremely complex algorithms to target advertising. the working class people are retreating as well into fake virtual worlds. pretty much every industry is facing an immense labor shortage, and are desperate for workers.

i live in wisconsin, so the institution responsible for getting my power back after the thunderstorm is a state authorized monopoly called WE Energies (wisconsin energy energies). It employs about 12,000 people on a regular basis. of those 12,000 only 500 are linesmen. I dont know anything about the power grid, but to me that sounds like if WE energies were an army only 1/24 would actually be holding a gun. after the storm they called up linesmen from other states, and only 50 showed up.

how did we get here? how do we get out? our regime and our nation are rotting from the inside out. all around me i see wasted potential. what my country look like if every american had a niche, and could be all they can be

It didn’t accidentally create the virus. It was on purpose. Gain of function is a money making scheme, and that’s why they’re trashing ivermectin

Power company monopolists are greed driven cocks. We get out of this by ganging up on the power elites. We avoid Sovietism by not establishing a centralized power base. There’s no reason we can’t do what the Kurds are doing

>It didn’t accidentally create the virus. It was on purpose
You are right. The virus was intention but the pandemic was not. The fact that they did a cover-up of their big oopsie makes it look intentional however.

>Gain of function is a money making scheme, and that’s why they’re trashing ivermectin
Two different incentive structures are fucking us over here though. Gain of function is a money/prestige scheme by the scientists, with very little to do with the drug companies. The ivermectin crackdown (which has now claimed joe rogan, kek) seems to me to be for two reasons. First off is that FDA requires so much cash to cut through the red tape that it would never be worth it to the pharma companies to spend 2+ billion to get approval for cheap as free animal drugs. Second off there's now a lot of ideological king of the hill now that the regime's vanity is in such a wounded state. Whatever the dissidents claim, the regime will automatically take the opposite approach to. Remember when covid first popped you were called a racist loony for buying masks, and it was the libs who were out on the street licking doorknobs. It was only after DJ Trump said that covid wasn't so bad that the libs flipped and said that it was worse than the plague.

If Don had said that covid was a china-plague sent to kill all patriotic americans the libs would still be licking doorknobs, and would be the ones saying that the vaccines are a rush job made so big pharma can extract endless money from the population.

Yeah I've graduated from seeking meaning in life because I've understood how to live. Augustine was correct..the purpose of inwardness is then to make an inflexion outward. If we remain inward, we rot. The Danish duo of Kierkegaard and Logstrup works well together.
