The positive mindset. The active mindset. The depressive mindset. The mindset affects a person's actions in the same way that the knowledge of performing in a tragedy or in a comedy affects an actor's acting. It is said that he who has a winning mindset has half won. What I should acquire is a mindset of philosophical tranquility, christian love, and a sense of humor.

There's this girl at work... whenever I talk to her and she's sitting down, she spreads her legs wide open. Like manspreading but almost comically exaggerated?

My girlfriend should have birthday soon. I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll go on a trip walking or driving until midnight.
She's not here anymore, so I can't even say anything. I mean, not in this world anymore. I just spent some time in bed looking at her picture and I feel weird, empty like a vessel. I would sell the whole world just to hold her for a few seconds. I would die just for one touch, one handshake. I want to go to her. I can't do this alone anymore.

I'm sort of interested in the sociological concept of segregation. If you ask why it happens in a typical contemporary academic setting you will get a non-answer that the cause of it is bigotry. But the existence of bigotry explains nothing. It's simply an emotion, a belief or prejudice, which have causes.

What is segregation? It is an attempt among incompatible groups, value complexes, and social orders to coexist without mixing, like oil and water. Almost always, the excluded group, who is the recipient of segregation, is deprived of power in their host country . There is never segregation between two groups of equal social power, though if they are unable to find a middle ground, there may be worse relations between them such as open conflict.

Though violence and segregation are often related, both sides would seek to inflict violence on each other and the only reason one fo the groups is "oppressed" and the other is the "oppressor" is because of the power imbalance.

I find it interesting how multiculturalism presumes that all cultures are mutually compatible, even though many cultures embed animosity towards others as part of their central tenets through inexorable processes of historical sedimentation.

You really do sometimes have oil and water, at which point the best you can hope for beyond institutionalized segregation is a kind of implicit self-segregation in which incompatible groups refuse to interact with those they don't get along with and simply walk past each other in a state of low simmering tension that would otherwise explode if prompted.

I’ve spent the last several years as a NEET, barely leaving my room. My aunt, who comes over daily, blames it on “the racist books” because she saw me reading Evola some years ago. She keeps saying shit about how I’m wasting my youth, how any girl would kill for someone like me (I’m 6’5”, have nordic features, with broad shoulders and a chiseled jaw). I don’t give a shit about girls though, I just want to read in peace without some wine-aunt annoying me. Yesterday she saw me reading Violence and the Sacred by Girard and thought it was an ultra-facist manifesto. Shit sucks

What is this thing behind my eyes? My mind, my spark, my soul, whatever. Why was it put into this body at this time? Why not some other century, or species?

Animals must have some similar experience of a 'thing behind their eyes', they have thoughts and desires, emotions, ect. So why was I even born human? Why not a dog, or an insect? Or why not even a lifeform on another planet?

I don't mean 'me' as the person I am now, with all of my memories and experiences, but my spark of consciences. I could have been born anything at any time and place, but I was born as a homo sapien in the modern age on the planet Earth.

Could I have been born something else? Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

I know what you're talking about. my best guess is that we were born into this because this serves to give God a chance to manifest what He is. This is why we are both moral agents, know that we're moral agents and are still quite awful morally speaking. God knows himself in our search for Him, this being the search for salvation from our wretchedness. That's what I think. The form you are conscious of exists in order to do service in Gods knowledge of Himself.

I've got ideas for novels which are quite ambitious and would be difficult to pull off. I feel very strongly about them.

Should I just try to write them over the next few years knowing that they won't be up to scratch, and then make another attempt at them later? Or would working on smaller, less ambitious projects to cut my teeth as a writer be better?

I'm leaning toward the former, since I might come to find those ideas unappealing down the road anyway, and there's nothing to stop me from throwing everything away from a story and starting from scratch.

It's been a few months. Apparently the start was some anon saw three (?) threads with anime OPs and had a psychotic break where the anime mafia was out to get him and for some reason he thought posting a new thread with a picture of a Czar in it would keep him safe. The situation deteriorated from there with anons posting anime to convince him there was an anime mafia. This is kind of a mellow period. The schizo hasn't posted any DBZ sexy fanart to prove there's a problem with the anime mafia in almost a week.

Nothing gives me more joy than working on this big story of mine. The origins of it date back to when I was in high school, and it really grew and flowered as an idea, with its characters and themes, when I was an undergrad in college reading great literature. I'm now in my 30s and have finally begun to write it. I finished the first book last year and am almost finished with the second book. Every minute of writing it, editing it, rereading it, and contemplating it is a delight. Writing this story brings me more joy than anything else in my life. I could literally just keep writing it my entire life and be fufilled. This is one big reason why I want to get it published. Obviously I write it when I can, and I'm in grad school now so I'm not working and have free time to devote to it. But I would love to make a living off this story so that I'd have the freedom to do nothing but devote my days to writing it.

I mean, if I got rich by some other means, and didn't have to work as a result of that, I wouldn't mind that, either. But I think the story's actually pretty good, and I think people will like it, if I can just get it out into the world. So that, too, is a reason why I want to get it published.

I like my bed too. Last week I was wrapped up in my blanket for a late afternoon nap and as I slowly drifted off I felt a blissful awareness of leaving myself behind as my conscious thinking fragmented. All there was was the blanket and it's warmth, no longer any me. It was odd to realize in one moment both how much I despise and am sick of myself, and how nice the simple experience of sleep can be.

I have noticed, with increasing frequency, that there are people who believe that depictions of things is an endorsement of them. This is most common with rape, but I have seen it used to attack authors who have written scenes where anything steps on the toes of a social justice cause, even if the perpetrator is clearly a villain. The most recent one that struck me was when a guy said that the Bible could not be sacred because there were disturbing scenes inside of it. Most of these people are university educated. I think we will continue to see this "art must be therapeutic at all times" mindset grow.

I've experienced this a depressing amount of times when talking about reading history books. Some people assume that you can't read a biography of Hitler without being a neo-nazi, even though every widely read biography of Hitler is the complete opposite of that. It's somewhat worrying because this kind of thing could poison the next generation of history writers and completely destroy the exceptional quality of thoroughly researched work we have now.

I left my bag at the shop, the bag that had my journal. So I'll type here. I am separated from my painting supplies so instead I just think about painting. I think about pulling fat crispy lines across the cotton paper with a round nib. I think of the colors I will use. Groups of three are preferred. Soft rose pink, brown, and olive green is one I'll do next. I like the slow nights at the shop when I can get stoned off my ass and lean over the glow of the light box for hours. Just me and my stumps of red pencil, ink bottles, tattered roll of tracing paper. First the red line, then the hard line drawing, then to the cotton rag with the nib. A cup of hot water for rinsing and another for achieving smooth india ink fades. My brushes laid out on a towel, paper taped to the board, paints poured in tiny ink cups. All that shit's at the shop.

Been browsing these threads since 2018. Back then they would take 2-3 days to hit the bump limit and sometimes there wouldn't be a new one for most of the day. I started a few when I was bored.
Sometime in 2020 an anon started new threads before anyone else with anime, then a schizo who hated animefag began creating threads when there were less than 300 posts. Now there's the DBZ fag. I've seen two threads up at a time with 100+ posts. There's more drama to it I don't care to describe.

TL;DR This niche type of thread reached grew too popular then becomes overrun by schizos. Such is the fate of most generals. They all hit a "critical mass" of sorts.

Career-wise? Tradesmen and small business owners/workers, by small businesses I mean 100-500 employees usually
Reconsider scorn for "rural" America, sounds like cityfag talk. When people say rural areas they're grouping together three types of regions
- farmland, which is full of genuine people, you'll find the best company at a farmer's market but you probably don't want to live here
- small towns lacking jobs but full of junkies and dead ends - not gonna sugarcoat it because the stereotypes are true here
- exurbs, closest thing you'll get to affordable white paradise (suburbs are just cityfag yuppies who've settled down or boomers)

I would say the exurbs surrounding mid-sized cities in states like Wisconsin are nice. Full of tradesmen and middle class people just trying to live their own lives and raise their families. Economically afloat but mostly safe from the prestige-driven upper middle class uni folks

Norm MacDonald's death hit me harder than I thought a celebrity's death could ever hit me. He was a public personality I resonated with. While not from Canada, I grew up in North Dakota (which is quite similar in many ways) and the crude, clever Canadian man was someone I looked up to. While I'm not as well-read as I'd like to be, I like to read and like to discuss others thoughts on what they read. My problem with that is that my flyover state rural upbringing doesn't mix well with most people I have met who profess to love literature. Not just their opinions but their aesthetics and mannerisms as well. I'm a pretty simple, most of my possessions, including clothing are utilitarian. The lit clubs at my collages were full of flashy fags who were just trying to show off to each other and show who had the shiniest leather patches on their courderoy jackets or whatever. They would talk in such ornate and flowery bullshit ways without saying anything. They exhausted me. Norm was someone who while being well read wasn't a feelsmart retard who needed to prove it to everyone. He was also very crude and that spoke to my blunt channer sensibilities. Norm made me laugh harder than anyone else ever did. I used to watch his internet podcast years ago and I was (naively) excited when it was bought by Netflix. I think another reason why I'm so saddened is that I like to think I don't get attached to media figures but I was wrong.

RIP norm, I'm going to re-read some Tolstoy just for you, you deeply closeted fuck. Hope my drunken thoughts reach you sometime and somewhere.

Nah you're fine unless you're retarded or something. Worst that happens is you put it down, so why not give it a shot.

Maybe with a "high concept" series like Dune or Hyperion, I could see it. More for reasons of density and having less instant gratification than other scifi, than actually being out of your mental league. But even there, again, what's the worst that could happen? You just put it down if you're finding it too steep to climb in a leisurely way. I'd easily recommend Hyperion to a bright teenager or preteen to spark his interest in reading (although maybe not its sequels). From what I hear, ASOIAF's density is mostly a function of its character POV chapters dragging if you aren't interested in that character.

I can see some wisdom in starting with something easy and breezy instead of committing to a massive series. If you're already used to going through schlocky fantasy books quickly, something like the Black Company series might be an easy step "up" from absolute potboiler-tier YA like the Horus Heresy books. Still schlocky and fun, but the kind of thing you can read in a couple days.

For scifi, if you don't mind taking a step back from the 80s/90s grimdark turn and into more golden age optimistic feeling scifi, the Foundation series is not at all intimidating, and is fun and breezy. At least the first few. Older, more optimistic golden age stuff may feel quaint at first but if you explore it a little you may find its conceptual horizons are surprisingly larger than more trope-ified post-80s stuff. You sort of assume that the development of conceptual nuance in science fiction must have developed gradually, and that old stuff was "Wowee gee-whiz a rocket ship!" quaint and one-dimensional... and then you start reading Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker (1937). Or Lindsay's Voyage to Arcturus (1920). Or Bulwer-Lytton's The Coming Race (1871). Or in fantasy, Robert E. Howard's syntheses of Conan fantasy stories with H.P. Lovecraft cosmic horror settings. Early speculative fiction was often much more weird because anything was possible, and middle science fiction had the best of both worlds of refining the technical tools of the genre but keeping its openness, before the kitsch/schlockification really set in with commercialization.

Other fun authors/books to start with: Robert Heinlein (Starship Troopers and The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress are both great and classic). The Hobbit obviously (it's more whimsical and conventional than LOTR). Jack Vance if you like weird. PKD if you like a different kind of weird, dreamlike gnostic books where you can't tell what the fuck happened sometimes. Barsoom books if you like sword-and-sandals, aforementioned Conan stuff too. Neuromancer is a great read and has a nice audiobook version.

Sorry for longposting, I think scifi and fantasy are a great way to read more. You can read your way through a whole author's or genre's catalog. Good for motivation.

This is the third time in a row I've had sex and couldn't cum. Is it her? Is it me? Maybe both. Maybe it's because I've seen too much porn. Maybe I just don't really like her that much.

At the base of male sexuality is raw irrational feeling that women are special and intrinsically important, like they're points of light and pure niceness softness sweetness in an otherwise drab world. Most average men just want to penetrate that and inundate themselves in it at a sensuous level. They don't think much of "roles," just animal desire to grab fistfuls and mouthfuls of the magic pink energy women are made of and stick their dick in it for some reason. Some men fixate on possessing and degrading it in more elaborate ways. Submissive guys just do the opposite, expressing the differential between male animalness/mundaneness and female specialness by either worshiping the woman, debasing themselves completely as worthless in relation to her, or letting her take charge in some symbolically stereotyped way like maternal authority. Or sometimes by inverting gender roles.

In every instance men are essentially trying to make sense of the differential between the anonymous animal that they are, in a herd of other similar animals who all want the same thing too, and the inherently special and desirable object that a woman is. The tension created by that differential has to go somewhere. Men aren't just looking for the physical release of orgasm, they can get that from masturbation. Male lust is much more chaotic than that, it's an instinctive craving to dissolve their own infinite anonymous animal mundaneness, their pure desire with no necessary satisfaction, only satisfaction that is earned and fought for, and to some extent feels like a stroke of luck and "there but for the grace of God go I, and tomorrow it's right back to the desperate grinding neck-and-neck struggle with the other lusting animals" every time they acquire it, while also penetrating into pure specialness and pure desirability, the total and partly inconceivable converse of what they are.

No man is fully aware of this as it's happening. Also it's all mediated through symbols he can't control and didn't choose, more grew into as his sexuality awoke and tried to make sense of itself, probably through untraceable processes. Fetishes don't seem to be primarily correlated with personality or character so it's probably some combination of arbitrary imprinting mixed with developing fantasies over time. It's not logical, it's years of accumulated associations that allow urges to be channeled into expressions that make sense and dispense the urges. For some guys grabbing handfuls of ass and booba and ejaculating like a wild animal in heat is enough, but for some reason for other guys everything coalesces around a symbol, and then even expressing the base urges like wanting to put face or dick in nice woman ass is mediated through that symbol.

Society is becoming increasingly reliant on a scientific or technological understanding of everything including the self Every experience has to be rendered first in scientific terms in order for it to have significance. An example of this is the rhetoric around mental health. Such rhetoric presumes to view one's feelings and experiences through the lens of "health". But I would argue such a shift comes with a real loss of empathy because the language only distances and objectifies its subjects. We're told the mind is a muscle that must be exercised. Yet I cannot think of a more depressing embodiment of contemporary culture than this line. There is no aesthetic beauty here, nor even the faintest consideration of ethics--feelings exist purely to be maximized for no other reason than that we can.
And with the proliferation of ever more categories to describe human experience, people change their own self-understanding to fit their self into these created categories. With the end result being the cultural death of any artistic and romantic sensibilities (individuals might still have the capacity, but societally such a perspective is not valued).

I immediately discount the opinion of anyone who compliments me because they surely don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about. It scares me, because I am an extremely ambitious writer. I read the greats and I style myself directly after them. Even that's a half-truth. I want to be better than them. I want the mentally exhausting n-ring circus of Pynchon to meet the prosecraft of McCarthy and the raw humanity of Faulkner; and I want it all to find conflux in my writing. I want to write the greatest novel of my generation and I want to never take credit for it. I don't want to be complimented. I just want to be anonymous, and I am.

That joke is a classic, he really knew how to play an audience and take people along for a ride.

The interview people have been sharing about how he felt about people in the public sphere talking about their struggles made me think. He felt that going up on stage and talking about your battle with cancer wasn't brave, it was fishing for sympathy, and real bravery was dealing with it by yourself, in order to not let anyone else worry. He gave that interview while he had cancer but he didn't tell anyone outside of a couple people. I admire him for that, he dealt with cancer for 9 years and he could have reached out for not only public support and sympathy at any time, but a majority of his friends didn't know either.

I have the genetic potential, the personality profile and some other very specific traits like a gifted, hyper-creative LGBT+ movement supporter, a feminist, extreme nerd, leftist with neurodiverse traits, etc. while I very uncharacteristically grew up with that potential in a more far-right/conservative household instead. Not in the way of some random Polish guy who identifies as gay/bi/trans, but as a creative genius who agrees with his parents in a nuanced, messy way and is not directly gay/bisexual/trans, but finds himself able to absolutely fall prey to their ideologies if raised under different circumstances. I recognize myself, my siblings, everything in some of these people. The LGBT+ movement is a systematic murder of those with a certain kind of creative potential which goes strongly hand in hand with a weakness for falling for this nonsense. A pseudointellectual substructure, a pseudo-critical examination of traditional values, semi-sophisticated argumentations, all this has a tempting effect on especially young people with this potential, it feels like truth. Stop hating the weirdos in the movement or prematurely judging people with your primitive Nazi disgust sensitivity, of course our eccentrics are behaving in strange ways, but they are absolutely necessary, they contributed significantly to the inventions, the cultural achievements, which in turn are misattributed by collectivist middle class nationalists. It is the degenerates who are essential. We must save them, absolutely.
Creative and gifted people are disproportionately transsexual. Transsexuals are not all creative or gifted, but the most creative people are disproportionately represented in these or similiar circles. Our best minds are being destroyed and eradicated by this culture.

>LGBT+ -> systematic murder of eccentric talent
I get what you're saying and I don't disagree, but this is hardly something that's unique to any one subculture. It's the rigidity of doctrine itself which leads to this narrowing of the standards for normalcy. I bet that sounds strange since the LGBT is so far outside of what's conventionally normal, but if you think about it, I'm pretty sure you'll find at least a nugget of truth to that statement. It's ideology itself which is the enemy. It has nothing to do with intra-ideological adjustment or outgroup pressure, and everything to do with the far more basal social structure which manifests itself every time human beings congregate in sufficient number.

You think you're protesting some kind of treatment specific to your ingroup, but what you don't realize is that the issue is a human one couched within your social narrative. Everyone who considers themselves a part of a tribe in this manner experiences the exact same dynamics from ultimately superfluous, circumstantial differences in specific preconditions.

I know but what disarms me is that it seems like truly nothing seems to have a chance to be treated with any respect anymore. People have always been horny and degenerate but they at least seemed to have a sense for things that were sort of above animalistic pornographic thoughts. I don't care if the internet revealed people for what they truly are of it managed to break this barrier, this is deeply disturbing. Something very similar happens on a broader level with irony, and pornography runs parallel to irony in many ways since it's parodic in nature. Nothing is sacred, nothing is worth respecting, nothing is truly good, nothing is worth anything. I am so incredibly burned out on this constant all-pervading cynicism and the last couple years have made me think that at the foundation of all my unhappiness and my suicidal thoughts is having to resign that I live in a world where nothing is to be taken seriously except a designated few things that the system decides are important in order to further itself. I am so tired, I want that "sincerity" that DFW was talking about so incredibly bad but when I see the constant mockery and the cackling of hyenas I just think it's pointless. I would just feed more fodder into this entropic engine for no results at all at the cost of my own sanity and health.
I can't believe that finding people who are tired to bits of this crap is so difficult. It makes me feel so alienated.

What is the deal with modern Anglo Christians? Why do they cuck themselves out so hard for Jews, a total reversal from traditional Christianity?
Saint John Chrysostom, an important early Church Father, wrote very harsh words against the Jews. But now in modern times, Anglicans like James Parkes bend over backwards to apologize. Who do they think they are, going against the Church Fathers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Chrysostom#Homilies_against_Jews_and_Judaizing_Christians

I even heard of an Anglican priest removing all crosses from the church because it is offensive and a symbol of oppression to Jews.
This is absurd! Why do they even say that they are Christians at this point???

It's a struggle, I've found that sincerity isn't wanted by most(or at least most people my age, 23). Everyone is just absolutely miserable and acknowledging or being honest about said misery is not desirable. They'd rather suffer through it and then find some way to numb themselves by way of sating some trained unconscious system's desire so that they can momentarily forget. It doesn't matter what cope it is because they all feed back into perpetuating whatever it is making them miserable. People would rather feed into this and make it a part of themselves than try to be conscious and it perverts everything.

You're just a midwit NPC. Normal people don't find 4chan entertaining because they're not autistic. There's nothing interesting in endlessly reading the same pseud takes on the same topics daily. Learn Latin, write poetry, read philosophy and theology, do your civil duty towards your local community, etc. Maybe one day you'll grow up but chances are you'll forever be a loser. See you next week when I check this forum again for 30 minutes. Fag.

So there's a freshman girl from my phil class with whom I had a short conversation while walking around campus after class. It went well so I got her number and texted her, intimating that we should hang out sometime (likely a mistake to show that much investment from the get go in retrospect). She said sounds good but since then we've exchanged texts like once a day (today no response) and I am feeling like I'm making her uncomfortable. And right now I'm less afraid of her not reciprocating interest (which is a trivial and obvious matter, and one that I care less about) but that she'll drop the class entirely due to what she perceives as a creepy upperclassmen hitting on her and feeling no other way out of the situation. I am this close to sending her a text saying 'Sorry if I was being too much, don't get the wrong idea, I just wanted to get to know you, but if not mutual that's cool', because one time a girl completely changed her tutoring hours because of my interest. I am also weighing the option of just not giving a fuck whether she drops the class or not, and just taking it on the chin and moving on (I guess that's the most masculine, independent option I could proceed with, but knowing myself if she dropped the class I'd be mired in self-loathing and guilt).

Just did that. Thanks brother. Feels good to be upfront like that.
I have been feeling somewhat confident with women lately after reading part of Models by Mark Manson and improving my looks but this whole situation has brought me back to earth. I think it's the fear of being seen as a creep which holds me back in all this. With this girl I tried doing a subtle touch for emphasis (just a friendly one tap on the arm, not even sexual) while we were walking/talking and she seemed perturbed. I know I sound like a fucking neurotic loser here as these are thoughts that are just a degree below unfiltered but I really do hide it when I'm out and about and try to think that I am a worthwhile person and that everybody has no reason to dislike me.

I must admit I haven't thought about such things since I was 13 and consciously touched a girl I thought was cute on her shoulder to point her towards where she needed to stand for dodgeball. Since then it's become instinctual, women will give you cues when they want to be physical with you and it usually takes longer than 1 day if she isn't a whore. And is a result of you endearing yourself to them and making them feel comfortable around you.

A lot of people would prefer unique stimuli over repeatedly doing the same thing and getting the same result. Most people start with vanilla shit but get tired of it soon enough. Doing something shocking or more unique is easier to achieve with unusual fetishes than it tends to be with artists who just make vanilla stuff.

Whenever I try to write an essay about a subject, I often find myself noticing that my opinion relies on a given premise that was never justified beforehand, and that premise too relies itself on other premises, and all of a sudden I'm going on massive tangents that will without a doubt bore the reader.

If you don't find that thing now and fix this, the activation threshold of "not boring" is going to get higher and higher until you are trapped in a hole too deep to get out of. Being bored makes you boring which makes you more bored.

You have to exercise your ability to take interest in things and start making connections ASAP so that it will build up to critical mass and become an active part of your personality. Every person's journey to do this will be different, and you will have to fumble around at first, so the sooner you get started the better.

You really don't want to end up on the other side of your youthful years with no interests and a general problem of "nothing interests meeee!" With every month and year the interestingness that a thing has to have to activate your interest will get higher and higher, and the list of things that could shock you out of your torpor and make you interested in the world in general will shrink, and the possibility of chaining enough of them together to overhaul your life will become more and more remote and unreasonable.

>Man lives and evolves by 'eating' significance, as a child eats food. The deeper his sense of wonder, the wider his curiosity, the stronger his vitality becomes, and the more powerful his grip on his own existence.
>The main trouble with human beings is their tendency to become trapped in the 'triviality of everydayness' (to borrow Heidegger's phrase), in the suffocating world of their personal preoccupations. And every time they do this, they forget the immense world of broader significance that stretches around them. And since man needs a sense of meaning to release his hidden energies, this forgetfulness pushes him deeper and deeper into depression and boredom, the sense that nothing is worth the effort.

Me too, funnily enough.
You could probably also buy model trains and get a kick out of them if you were into Thomas the Tank Engine sets like I was.

In addition I would recommend that you find all about trains- buy at least 5 books on trains if you can afford it, and not leave your house until you finish all of them. Then go on the internet and find niche communities that specialize in the particular aspects of trains that you enjoy most. Learning about trains could easily fill a lifetime- you could explore their historical development and effect on major world events, the different kinds of trains currently used in the world (like Maglev, which has really interesting superconducting properties), the depiction of trains in fiction, the history of big railroads like the transcontinental railroad, the way our concept of global time was revolutionized by trains, learn about how they work if a mechanical understanding appeals to you, or watch segments of 10 hour videos of train journeys to the Norwegian Arctic Circle during the winter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygfLNLs2IBU
And this beginning piece always sounded to me like a train ride through the Russian countryside.

I was watching this show on moths and it was enlightening. You know how skunks spray in defence? Moths -- these insects -- also spray in defence. They squirt this stuff against like bees and stuff, like bats and stuff that eat them. To throw off their scent they squirt this stuff. Doctors have found this stuff that moths squirt to be a cure for a virus that we get. Now, what is a virus? I mean, have we proven what this is? We look at them under microscopes, but what if a virus is like an evil spirit? I mean it could be, couldn't it? We rationalize everything so it's concrete.
>a virus is bacteria!
WHAT IS BACTERIA? We don't know it. We can't see inside this stuff's soul, inside this stuff's mind. But then listen to this: that's so random, isn't it? That this stuff that moths squirt can cure us. I mean, think of the potential that could be out there. What if we took mud, wiped it on maple branch, left it there out in the sun, scraped off the mud, stuck it in our noses, drank Mountain Dew, and then snorted the mud. Who knows! Maybe THAT could do something. But how would we find this out, do you know what I mean? I mean it's so random, it's so coincidental.

Fuck you Anon. Fuck you for getting hit while riding your motorcycle a few weeks ago. And fuck you for dying. You have left such a big mess for you're mother and sister. And mostly, for me. I have had to deal with your crying family members and friends for weeks. Now my basement, is filled with all your junk. Your stupid, unfinished bus, is in my back yard, and your stinky grieving alcoholic mother has been LIVING with us since the police came and knocked on her door told her you were dead.

Mostly fuck you for ruining the happiness of my new family. Watching my wife nurse our 3 month old son, while she cries, mourning over her dead little brother, is just awful.

We were in such a happy little bubble, away from all the insanity of the world, and you had to go and pop that with your stupid, crotch rocket party boy bull shit.

Mostly, and this may sound selfish but, it is, what it is. Fuck you for absolutely destroying my sex life, and the happy condition my wife was in. I would fuck my wife, THE MOMENT I woke up, for YEARS. Dick is hardest right first thing when you wake up. It was such a nice way to start the day, it was such a relief, I wasn't worried about fucking, all day long, I finally felt calm and at peace through out the day.

Then the pregnancy came, and the morning sickness, and the cramps, and the swollen pregnant body pain, she was sick for most of the 9 months, which isn't that uncommon. So our sex life suffered, and I was patient because of course what else can you do.

Then the baby came, and all went well, but she had some minor vaginal tears and we had to wait to fuck for like 3 months.

SO then finally when I can fuck my wife again, full and hard, the next day your stupid fucking shit head hobbies end up killing you, and sending her into a depressed spiral, and now im sitting here with achy balls, and a house full of the crying women and a crying baby. And I look out into my back yard and there's your stupid bus we tried to convince you not to buy, and I'm just like fuck you Anon.

I had to tell your girlfriend you were dead, and when I talked to you about how driving bikes in Atlanta is dangerous, you just looked at me like I was the idiot.

Well, in general, I'm surrounded by shithead liberals that can't take a fucking joke and are usually activists for some bullshit; Especially BLM.
On a more specific level, I can't stand seeing the pseudo-intellectual bullshit I run into on occasion. I wish I could give details but I don't want to expose myself.
To be somewhat honest, I've been on this campus for a week and I've never had a casual conversation with anyone. I'm surrounded by pairs or even entire groups of people having casual convos, yet here I am, alone with my thoughts, a hidden intruder to others since I can't openly trade. It's sad. And it angers me. I hope that changes with my job.
