I'm wasting my efficiency, leadership, and honest hard work on people that never deserved it. I don't have a family to talk to anymore. I have no one to talk to about what I really think about anymore. They're not on my prestige, or character, or strength. They all give in too easily and conform to what they think is the right thing. They talk about things that poison their soul and wonder why they're not feeling good. They don't know what real struggle is outside these menial difficulties that could have been simply avoided with better choices.

And they won't sacrifice for you or reciprocate even if you do better then that for them. You aren't like me. I'm nothing like you. And i'm tired of pretending that we're alike.

God is not the man in the sky that watches you in silent judgement and tallies up your sins to passively aggressively decide on whether or not to let you into the Divine Kingdom of Justice.
God is not all loving.
And God is not all merciful.
It took Jesus Christ to sacrifice himself for our sin. You fucking remember that whenever your pastor preaches equality or civility or "love". Christ Himself wouldn't stand for such subversion of His and His father's words.

A girl tried to escape the hospital today.
it was a sad sight to see her cornered by so many.
she didn't fight back, just seemed angry that no one understood her.

after she got her medicine she asked me, " do i still look like my self, because i don't feel like my self anymore"

I'll put it this way. There was a Welsh priest named John Donne who wrote Meditation 17 (link: http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/meditation17.php)), and to me that work exemplifies the type of thinking which is holy.

>No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

God is not a man in the sky, God is not all-loving, God is not all-merciful, God simply is. God is the ocean and I am a water molecule lost within It. How can you expect me to harm someone else who is also nothing but a piece of God, another molecule in the cosmic wave, simply for seeing the water from a different viewpoint? If I do so, I have hurt myself in a deep way. I admit to struggling with hatred, to sometimes wanting revenge for the persecution of people of my own faith. But that is flawed, that is a failure on my part, because in that I draw a division between the us and the them, a division which does not exist in reality. There is only One, one God, and all of reality is Him. To oppress another is to oppress God and that is to oppress ourselves, for we are God and those who we oppress are God. Would you cut off your arm and see the pain and misery you have caused yourself as honoring God? Oppressing another is the same exact thing.

Please anons, if any of would could help me, I would be eternally grateful.
I’m living my life completely aimless, and am tired of hearing platitudes about how some day I’ll find myself. An entire decade living like this, accumulating traumas and failures with no end in sight. I mourn for the version of me from ten years ago, because - although we have the same set of problems - I know where he ends up: with a head full of lies and judgement and his confidence destroyed alongside the hope that a better future awaits.
Everytime I dedicate myself to something, I go all in. Heart and soul, focusing all of my time on energy on it. But sooner or latter it comes back to the same question: “what is the point?”
What is the point of extensive physical training? What is the point of cultivating friendship? What is the point creative work? Of self improvement? Of dating? Of learning new things? Yes, these experiences brought me temporary enjoyment, but so what? Enjoyment doesn’t equal meaning, and the hedonistic pursuit of “feeling good” never managed to fill my soul.
Sometimes I think maybe things would be better if I went into medicine or another are centered around contributing to society and human improvement, but at this point it would probably be my thousandth fool’s errand.
I’m completely lost. As lost and purposeless as I was a decade ago, and the clock keeps ticking.

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?

Niceness is no different from pedophilia. It is, in fact, a socially acceptable equivalent, indoctrinated at a mass scale, on conscious and subconscious levels. Both have to be taught at early ages, to "innocent" children too young to have even finished developing their rational thinking faculties, creating a long-lasting bias towards meek, passive, overly-generous attitude which is the opposite of what any person grounded on logic would ever want to choose. Both allow for all forms of further abuse and manipulation from adult authorities to be pushed onto them, be it raw or under a guise of "love", and their learned response will not be justified anger, but either self-pity or a dead, complacent forced smile. Both end up creating the most fucked up sorts of adults you see out there, completely useless, lacking initiative or natural trust, conformist, and yes, ironically "good children" are often the ones that turn into pedophiles as adults.
Once someone has been groomed into being a pedophile, it takes years of therapy to undo the damage.
Once someone has been groomed into being kind, It takes up to decades of undoing the programming and learning to break all the mental barriers hardwired into you to become a functional human being.

Christianity is a scapegoat for the dark ages. If what this chart claimed was true, other civilizations like those in Asian and the Americas would have blown past Western culture through virtue of time. The real reason for the stagnation of western society has to do with the consolidation of power within a handful of monarch families who focused all their resources on hedonism and maintaining the status quo.

I live with my parents and we go to the local southern Baptist church. The people are very nice and I think they are sincere, and they generally have "conservative" views, but they are total normies who believe the establishment and follow the status quo. In my Sunday school class they were talking about how they all got the covid jab and one of them was sort of poking fun at so-called "conspiracy theorists" who believe that 9/11 was an inside job and things like that. They are totally blinded by the world. They believe many of the same lies that the leftists and the secular world believe. They are all part of the system.
They are really nice people but they seem so milquetoast and lukewarm to me.

One of the worst aspects of information technology, which I’ve never heard anyone speak of, is the difficulty it brings in regard to detachment from bonds. Children are always a text message away, and as such, will be compelled to bear their parents’ burdens until they’re in old age. You can’t just leave and write a letter every now and then. You now actually partake in their problems, they bring them to you, their divorces, their quarrels, their financial worries, and you do it until you’re old and they die. I’m sure people who have troublesome parents know what I mean here. You can’t escape them unless you totally disconnect.

Meaning starts from physical stimuli, the world outside the organism. (Meaning in terms of understanding something) The meaning of our lives can swell inward but we are always tied to the physical so long as our bodies can be injured. We would need to become like ghosts to cease to derive meaning from the physical. Could we bootstrap such a ghost mind? How long in isolation could a mind keep sane? The ghost might need to get it's meaning from other ghosts, and what a world it now lives in, or rather doesn't. What do social connections mean if they become everything outside of us?

This vacation is shit. We spent a thousand dollars to be here and she won't get out of fucking bed to go do things. I wanted to go see Chicago, but considering I saw a decent bit yesterday and it was just busted and ugly and full of bars we can't afford, I'd be happy to just finish going to this gay music festival that she wanted to go to. But no. She won't get out of bed. Most of the bands she wanted to see canceled. That's fine, there's still a handful she wants to see, but now she doesn't want to go because there's not many bands. Great. Now I get to miss the one band I actually wanted to fucking see. We spent a thousand dollars to stay in a hotel by the airport and sleep all fucking day.

after I had KILL ME tattood on my chest, my wife and parents became concerned, especially in light of the fact that I was 32 and this was my first tattoo. I explained to th the philosophical implications of the words and the act, but they didn't fully understand my lies. The truth is Really really want to kill myself, but don't want people to think I want to. I told them that the words were a challenge to the world and to God. I was daring them to kill me, I claimed. In retrospect the tattoo was a poor choice, and the font was much too large to be read as anything but a cry for help.
My choice of Ariel font was also lost on them. I felt helvetica would be too pretentious for such a transgressive tattoo, but Ariel would add a bit of nihilistic irony. Nobody seemed to appreciate this when I explained it to them

Watched a thing on childhood hunger a few weeks ago and while it was all very sad it didn't end up affecting me until they showed this absolutely beautiful woman with her two small children. Her face had worn, mid 30s and her clothes were nice but very clearly old. She had to walk to the foodbank because her and her husband lacked the money to repair her car after it had broken down. He was working a manual labor job now that he had gotten laid off and they were struggling to survive as their family's income had been cut by more than half.

From there my perspective shifted to that of the husband. Imagine having this absolutely beautiful, good woman, she loves you so much so that she wishes to marry you and have your children and she does. And then you can't provide for her the life you promised, you can't even pay for enough food to eat. That must eat you up inside.

So explain this to me, right? We Americans have one of the greatest militaries in the world, and these dudes are sent off to random deserts and foreign countries. Meanwhile, BLM burned down half the country for a summer and the Republicans literally rioted in the Capitol, the heart of the nation. Why on earth aren't our soldiers defending the streets?

I saw the preparations being made for the upcoming right-wing rally at the Capitol on the news a few days ago. Today while driving I saw a group of military vehicles on the road, soldiers inside. This might sound weird, but those things made me feel safe, protected. My government is protecting me. Why not do stuff like that more often? Online I see fascists dreaming about killing people like me for not being white and communists dreaming of killing people like me out of spite for our prosperity. People even openly talk about balkanizing the country! Maybe if every so often a tank rolled down people's streets, if military personnel in uniform patrolled every American city on a daily basis, people who want to hurt America from inside would be scared off. And we have technological capabilities too. Set networks up so all messages/tweets/posts can be scanned and analyzed, and any radicalism of any political flavor can be tracked and if needed, addressed. We already have lots of cameras on the streets and in people's houses. Use them to protect the country, to keep tabs on tankies and neo-Nazis and the like. If the government did this and was honest about it, I'm sure most Americans would support them. I would.

You guys brought some valid points, I will tell her since its something serious. Well, at least from my side, not sure how she feels exactly but it will be our 3rd date tomorrow and there was a sexual tension at the second one, I was just too much of a pussy to act upon it.

Anyway, the whole debate about whether or not I should tell her mostly comes from the fact that I am really embarrassed to be still a vrigin at 22. I'm sure you guys figured it out that I am not the most mentally adjusted person since I am a user of this shithole of a website. I suffer from a lot of anxiety and depression since my early teen and the social aspect of life is what scares me the most.

It's nothing to be embarrassed of, you should only be having sex with a woman you intend to be with for a long period of time.

Usually the advice I give younger people is to not sleep with someone for a while if your intention is to be in a serious relationship with them because it will cloud your judgement especially when it's your first time.

I think I am bi-polar. For as long as I can remember, I've never been able to find a "happy medium" with things. Too much, too little. I went from being the boring quiet kid in high school to getting kicked out of college.

I went from being incredibly religious (at one point had a goal of reading the Bible front to back and praying every day) to being an atheist, then experimenting with the occult, to being an agnostic, to being interested in spiritual practices again.

I went 8 months without masturbating this year and proceeded jack off twice this week.

I constantly tell myself that I would love to be in a relationship, but many women I don't know look at me as though I was deformed, and the the ones that do know me well tell me I'm an attractive solid guy, but ofc they're all in relationships.

My goals for my career and life are lofty and I daily flip from feelings of despair, as though I'll never be able to accomplish them, only to experience a singular event in that day that gives me hope and the power to press on.

I'm beginning to be driven mad by nausea and contempt. How could it be that most people are so base and disgusting, and stunted in development? Why does nobody even act like an adult? Why is it that most people need to be taught "good manners" and idols of reverence, they need to be "educated" on what it is to be human otherwise they always go astray. But it's not even universal, some of us are just born human while others have to be taught and exhaustively so. The nausea of being forced to try and squeeze water out of a fucking stone. Every time it manages to come to that point. I'm not truly mad, I'm not imagining things. I'm just exhausted. Dear normie faggot rabble, do you realize how tiresome you can be? What a chore it is to be forced to put up with you? Solving your silly problems, hearing you out as you seek pity and reconciliation. How hard it is to even conceal the disgust and contempt you make me feel. If you knew what I really thought, and you even knew I was right, I know you wouldn't even care because you have no sense of shame or pride. You must think I love the smell of your breath when you dare touch me. Although I would love the authority of a cruel brahman and have you killed, just for touching me or making eye contact, I would never do so. The humiliation of taking it all out on you.

Trying to play Advance Wars again to relive some childhood memories. It's not as fun as I remember. I'm better at it now because I don't try to guess my way through things, but that has only revealed to me the real secret of the game, which is that there is a single perfect route to S-rank every mission, and everything else is for scrubs. There's not much in between S-rank and scrub. The developers assume you're either poopsocking it or you're retarded and just scraping by.

If you aren't perfectly planning the minimum number of moves and unit placements to manipulate the enemy AI into letting you win, you are shit. The level designers clearly expect you to color between certain lines, use your units efficiently in the specific way they intended.

Fog of war maps are especially tedious. On a normal map you have to make a plan on how to juggle the enemy unit composition for maximum efficiency, but on fog of war maps you have to do that while also not knowing what the enemy unit composition is. So the only real method is trial and error. Playing it safe isn't really an option since you need to scout aggressively, which is another word for poking out and praying your unit isn't killed. If you play fog of war maps the normal way, you're basically trading units in a war of attrition. The only way to do well in them is to take your lumps on a few botched attempts and memorize all the enemy placements.

I would rather get fist fucked than do that. I'm not sure what younger me was thinking.

Blogposting in the blogposting thread:

My ex-gf who I dated for 3 years is posting a lot of things on her instagram story about fortune tellers saying dumb shit along the lines of "you and your ex will get back together", and some slightly less dumb shit of poems proclaiming love.

We broke up due to going long distance and not being able to maintain it (and largely me being unwilling to move across the country to live with her for a year or two, while my family here is growing and changing by the day). If she still lived here, I think it's very likely we'd still be together.

I think she wants me to respond to her or her stories online, but the last time we talked she explicitly said that she didn't want to talk again unless we could make it work. So I think it's best if I let her initiate first contact, but I hate that she's posting shit instead of just talking to me directly about what she's thinking. She's visiting her friend that lives here in 2 months. Last time she did so we hooked up and it led afterward to me crying the hardest I can ever remember. I won't make that mistake again.

I don't understand women worth a fuck but that means it really really hurts her I think. From my outside experience of ex-gfs dealing with painful emotions I learned that sometimes their emotions about a thing are so extreme that it is actually viable to shut it out entirely. It's not like me or most men I know (I assume) where the problem is either solved or it isn't, or you divide the situation into hard choices. Women have to do that too of course but they really seem to get hit by tidal waves of raw feeling in addition. Kind of scary desu glad I'm male.

The origin of trannyism has to do with the peculiar character of the American upper middle class. Our puritanical and cult tendencies, and also the inclusion of wahmen into academia and other positions of cultural influence. And women are more religious than men, these "aggressive conformist" type cunts. Very common in America, especially in more educated circles women become more and more religious the more intelligent they are. Intellect in women normally manifests as advanced forms of "social negotiation". So women are natural bureaucrats, lawyers, liars, spies, poisoners, they love to pry into your head if they can. So the problem is of "intelligent" "educated" wahmen and America's native tendency for horrible religious zeal. It gives birth to an incredibly gay and disturbing form of liberalism.

And trannyism, despite having very little scientific or philosophical support and having no appeal at all to beauty or common sense would manage to happen here first and most prominently. Since it's unreasonableness makes it serve as a conformity and status shibboleth. And that is really it's primary function, Americans hate elitists and hermits more than any other Western country because in America "freedom" really means a harsh contract of universal slavery where every man is servile to every other. "Freedom" only means "equality" in the worst sense and anytime you challenge it you rattle a hornets nest. This is what it means to join the mob, you increase its power by increasing its bulk mass therefore its superiority in number (its single and only advantage) and you help neutralize threats by abandoning your freedom, independence, and personal ambition. The mob's biggest weakness is how easily influenced they are by a stronger will and skilled oration. But the American mob is peculiarly resilient to being dominated by ambitious outsiders for special and fucked up American reasons. And a popular and socially legitimate but completely insane shibboleth or "shit test" like trannyism is the type of thing you should expect. God I hate women and Americans so much

There is a moving scene in the film The Last Samurai: At the beginning of the film, we see the last samurai in his garden. He looks at the blossoms of a cherry tree and says: you can search for a thousand years, you will never find a perfect blossom. And at the end of the film, the last samurai lies dying on the battlefield, the last moment of his life, and he sees a blossoming cherry tree above him and he says: every cherry tree blossom was perfect all along.

All our lives we try to leave the worldly goods alone and strive only for the heavenly goods. We look into the future, over the edge of the world, and reach for paradise. But maybe when we lie dying on the battlefield of love, we will look up to heaven and say: every good deed was a moment in paradise. I am already here.

well sorry dude I'm drunk and wrote that shit as fast as I could. I truthfully do not know exactly why American culture is so vulnerable to zealous libshittery. Probably our lack of a ruling class and lack of "high culture". Or the relative lack of distinction in social class. But if you mean "I failed to explain why gay nerds adopt the trend of pretending to be women" I would say they do it because they feel sexually inferior or tolerated but unwelcome in the culture which also manifests as a kind of impotency which may inspire them to act gross and gay. But I vaguely outlined the mob mentality which is what causes trannyism to be so easily accepted, Americans are passive fucking herd animals. Again, probably because our relative lack of class distinction means we do not customarily respect social elites and do not revere or tolerate high culture. So social civic life amounts to nothing but an entertainment circus and a dumb disgusting niggercattle stampede. American society is best understood as a body without a head, there is no competent and well meaning executive discriminating between right and wrong, everything is collective, spontaneous, and emergent. The niggercattle stampede, all the commotion they make. It's the rhythm and pulse behind absolutely everything in this shithole faggot trashgarbage nigger worshipping dumping ground.

Political radicals are the only ones who would have to fear anything. I’m not saying to go after such people. Just keep a eye on them, track their movements, and when they decide to do something dangerous, stop them. Look at the January 6th riot. If we could have collected the data needed to extrapolate the events which would have happened, we could have prevented it. Not “arrest them for something they have yet to do”, just make such a thing impossible. Create flight delays for planes carrying would-be rioters, traffic jams for people traveling to the Capitol by car, etc. You could repeat a similar thing for the BLM riots or if the communists try something. You hear about things like school shooters who the government knew were a threat, right? Put a drone 24/7 on them, and when they head towards a public area, have law enforcement in the area on alert. And maybe a few uniformed soldiers in the area if he/she decides to do something violent.

>But that’s a surveillance state!
Is that a bad thing? Look at China, a massive surveillance state. Nobody in China is trying to destabilize the nation, no Chinese is anti-Chinese in the way so many Americans are anti-American. There are no riots in China, no one can ever storm the Great Hall of the People. Just be honest with the American people. “This is what we are going to do and this is why.” Most people here would be okay with it. It’s not a racial thing like you think. People want to be safe, they want the political radicals to be weakened. People are tired of white nationalists and the tankies.

>I fucked my sister lads... Its a good read
It started when I was around 12 and stopped when I was 16. She was 4 years old than me. Someone heard me talking to myself, due to being stoned at a free period; and it spread all over my year at school. I genuinely deluded myself into thinking it didn't happen- I would mediate in my room for about an hour a day. But not because I felt bad! No, so I could survive my remaining time at school and withstand the constant harassment was the sole reason. I was very happy with how I brushed off the (true) slander:
At school, when I was with my friends, some assholes would try to taunt me and say I fucked my sister. With a smile on my face, I'd said "yeah and its the best sex ever. You only jerk your penis to incest!" Sounds kinda lame when I write it but when I said it, I didn't give a shit and felt no remorse. If anything I enjoyed my school life more, because I was becoming increasingly handsome and would notice girls gawking at me. More importantly, my four bros always had my back. We'd do loads of drugs together and soon I was open about what I did. I've always had close an insanely close group of friends, and I would recall how hot it was and that they should be jealous- thank god/ jews for incest porn as well! Still remember being on the skype call when they asked me and I was excited to finally let them in on my secret.

I was friends with a girl (pretty based for a girl) who had a crush on my for years. She was a reverse tsundere: she'd hit and punch all the other boys but me. Unfortunately, I stopped hanging out with her when I started smoking weed with the bois. We, however, would still talk at school- I must admit our conversations were vary engaging and comfy. When she heard the rumour, she turned quite neurotic and bereft of jest, started teasing me; I assume with the motivation to ascertain to ungodly truth.
I quickly grew tired of her. And I simply stopped coming to school! Not because I was a pussy, but because I was a smart son of a bitch! With my mother as my proxy, I navigated around the teachers in an astute manner. My mother relayed the "rumour" to the teachers and said I was being picked. I sort of strong-armed the teachers to quell the rumour: I straightforwardly refused to come to school (which is a huge menace for the administration). Meanwhile, I was happily playing dota 2 at home. When I ventured back, everybody stopped the jokes at school, as they were scolded. I waltzed back in to school like nothing happened microdosing on lsd listening to music on quiet days.

However, all was not fine and dandy....
Due to complicated auxiliary reason, my family fell apart and my home life suffered tragically. The people I once knew and so dearly loved, slowly became very distorted and abhorrent to me. It was only here, that I lapped up Buddhism slave-morality and started to feel bad. With the oncoming of acne and a shitty family life, my world quickly crumbled... cont.

3/4 of my bros dropped out of school but I chose to take my studies seriously. My only respite in life, at this point, was studying maths in solitude and lifting weights.
Even though I was ridiculously ripped, my acne was really bad and thus(ly) I withdrew from people and the world at large.
I found my new place in books, video games, fitness, and programming. Unfortunately, I grew more eccentric and lost the ability to converse with people.
Even my bros...
It pains me greatly to write it but: I admit I was a loser!


It was agonising to unsuccessfully remember my teenage years- I thought weed was making me schizophrenic. Why could I not remember
4 years of my life adequately? Why am I a loser?
Only after reading crime and punishment (about a 7 months ago) did I piece together all the fragments, which I gradually uncovered.
I shall continue to read Nietzsche and never look in bad light against myself and my actions.
I am incredibly grateful to have fucked a beautiful woman with utter confidence in the ass whenever we could (maybe I will go into the glorious details) and have the friends I did.
After rediscovering the truth, I harbour no regrets. I take solace in my past. Only the appetite for life that I have rediscovered remains in my mind.
I will go into details at a later date, coomers. Feel free to ask questions.
Onward and upwards, my friends!

The woman I love is always excessively equivocal with me. Previously, while I managed to make it quite clear that I had an inclination for her, she acted very enthusiastically, saying that she liked my way of speaking, my culture and my compliments, which she generally returned, so that I managed to persuade myself that she liked me too. However, when I told her explicitly and after a moment of reflection, she told me that she was not in love, although it was not impossible that she would become so later. We continued to see each other and not only did she not cool down except for the first few days, but she showed new ardor to the point of inviting me to spend a few days at her home so that I could introduce myself to her family. At the beginning of the school year, when we were talking about madam and misses, she told me that she did not want to become a madam for the moment (which is ambiguous). We continue to see each other regularly and she always puts goodwill into the relationship.
What should I expect? She is not the type to manipulate for attention and I think she is very ingenuous in all that I have reported.
Also I think she's very indecisive, she told me she's considering going into a convent but I also know she's considering a lot of schooling and maybe finding a trade. Maybe I'm putting myself in this opposition between religious life and secular life. Maybe I'm just being a good friend and she's being especially friendly to me for no special reason.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a rise in Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books with the rise of digital media. VNs are becoming normalfag-tier levels of acceptable and pdfs mean you no longer have to manually turn to page 46 to see the result of your decision. Even the ai dungeon is further proof of interest (even if it's mostly for smut). I like CYA books and I'm starting to think it might be an untapped market.

I need help. Please. I'm 25, single. I have a good job, and I live with my family. I do more than my part to support them, so I feel no shame being with them, it's the least I can do for the folks who raised me. They're far from perfect, but they're not terrible people (though we do have fights from time to time, and some of them are very difficult to bear with). Materially, I'm doing fine. The problem is... everything else. I'm lonely. I have friends, long-time friends, even, but I haven't seen them in over a year, and even before then it was maybe 2-4 times a year for a while. Outside of work and errands, I never leave the house, there's nothing in this country that could interest me at all, and I genuinely tried to be too. I don't like my job. It pays well, but I don't like it. I spend most of my time with nothing to do, on a desk. And while I could opt for a more active and hands-on role on the field, the pay and opportunities there are considerably worse, and I have so many commitments to take care of. I'm friendly with some of my co-workers, but they don't interest me as people at all. Then there's the other side of this issue: I'm a STEMfag who's completely in love with the humanities. I don't want to be here. Not in this job, not in this country. I want to move out and study philosophy and literature abroad, but I'm not gonna have the money for it any time soon. It'll take me at least 7-8 years to get enough to do so, and even then there's the issue of trying to find part-time work on an engineering degree on one hand, while juggling those courses on the other. The prospect of continuing to live this miserable life for the next maybe 10 years, for a goal I might never even get to achieve, it's fucking harrowing. Books are the only thing keeping me sane. And worse than all of this is that I want to get married. I am confident that I can seek out a woman and have her hand, but whoever she might be, I can't take her where my dreams would. I live in a society with a very strong family culture, and I appreciate it, but it means that if I get married now, I can't ask my would-be wife to drop her everything she has and live abroad with me so I can study phil. So this goal of mine is also preventing me from committing to shit, and now I'm in this paralysed state where I don't know what to do with myself. Should I stop chasing my dream and try to make-do with what I have here, miserable as it is? Should I really go into my mid-30's unmarried and without any meaningful connections in hopes of achieving it? And even if I get to do it, I'd be in my 40's by the time I'm done studying philosophy. I'd be too old to accomplish anything in that field, all philosophy majors start young, they'd be writing and getting published at the age I'm at right now, and by THEIR 40's, they would be professors and senior researchers. No matter which way I look, it's fucking bleak. I'm so lost. I don't know what to do.

I used to enjoy listening to "Youtube essayists" who critiqued shit like MauLer. Safe to say, I'm glad I'm over my phase watching him. I realize now that it's so much better to watch videos of people talking about why something is GOOD rather than why something is bad. Don't get me wrong, the Star Wars sequels are bad, but I think it's more productive and inspiring to read about what works and how to create something rather than what doesn't work and just seems like complaining for the sake of clicks rather than constructively criticizing something as to avoid making the same mistakes.
Youtubers like HelloFutureMe are what I like now, because he talks about creating things rather than just saying something is bad and why. It is satisfying to hear him rip something to shreds, but he at least tries to rebuild when he takes something down. Saying "Game of Thrones post-season 5 is bad" is one thing, saying "Game of Thrones post-season 5 is bad, but here's how I'd fix it" is better.

You are most likely over estimating how much you would like academic life. With your expectations, you are bound to be disappointed even if you go for. This is not to say you should necessarily stay where you are. As a stemfag, you have a good chance that if you move abroad to where you want to, you'll have a decent life. If you are really that interested in the humanities, you'll still probably have a better time devoting yourself to it outside of an academic setting. The trick is to meet people interested in the same. No idea how to do that.

I said this maybe 4 or 5 threads ago, but the reason no one cares about global warming is because it's the northern hemisphere that benefits and gains habitable land from an increase in global temperature, with Canada and Russia being the biggest winners. I wouldn't be surprised if they were merely pretending to care about climate change while actively increasing their CO2 emissions

Very. It is the single biggest stress in my life. It’s fall now, and every time I see the lovely red leaves I wonder if the climate will be such that this will continue in the future. I feel bad because the sea will rise, people will die because of famine and food chain collapse, etc. Not to mention the chaos climate refugees will cause. It’s very stressful.

My mom's obsessed with birth order. Like, it's practically her version of horoscopes. She says that if you only have an older sister, you should date a girl who has a younger brother, or if you only have a younger sister, you should date a girl who has an older brother. This is because you're already used to the relationship dynamic.

She also told me that what Washington, Napoleon, Lenin, Hitler, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and I all have in common are that we're all second sons, pointing out that most rebellions were started by second sons.

Well, for that you would either need to do something truly amazing or go through all the hoops, get into a good college, get your Bachelors and Masters, get into a good program for your PhD, make all the right connections, publish good stuff and have lots of luck to land a teaching position. It's an absolute pain in the ass and it might take decades to get there. More importantly though, you probably wouldn't like it. Turning a hobby into a tortuous career is asking for trouble.
