The stages of development are imperiled, the long march to socialism hangs in the balance. Climate change will rob us of the material conditions needed to support capitalism, and the socialist stage will never occur. We will be doomed to slide back to feudalism and slavery, unless something is done. We must stop it somehow, by any means necessary. The Great Cataclysm must be prevented, slowed, reversed, and it can only be done by stopping climate change.

Socialism is inevitable as long as the ecological backdrop needed to support it exists. That is not going to be the case if climate change continues unabated. As for capitalism, it is no accident that the only successful communist nation has had to go through their capitalist phase artificially.

i used to only take tylenol for some reason and it barely helped me cope with them, but then i took some excedrin once (aspirin + acetaminophen + caffeine mix) and it neutralized my migraine surprisingly reliably. now i just take some ibuprofen.

Late 30s and kissed too many girls

What a waste of fucking time women were in hindsight, my god I can't believe it. It's like looking back at my 20s and realizing I hung out with preteen kids and talked about Pokemon and Minecraft for 10 straight fucking years. How did I not realize how embarrassing it was at the time. Ten years, ten years of one of my primary activities being chasing after people with the mental maturity of a 13 year old Minecraft kid, taking seriously what they said, giving a shit whether they "rejected" me or not.

I would do so much differently if I could go back and do it over again. I'd look for real women instead of any woman. I'd accept that real women are 1 in a 1000 at most, and that it may be a long time before I meet one. Above all I would not care what they thought and they would have no power over me. Women are all playing Pokemon and Minecraft and eating fucking fruit roll-ups in their heads 24/7. There's nothing in there. I spent ten years thinking they were people and I was playing people games with people rules against them. It was a big babby all along.

Not him but calling abstinence, in this case presumably involuntary, the ''most based thing there is'' sort of undermines it all and makes you come across as juvenile.

I think i just had the most romantic, in the purely literary sense, conversation of my life. In omegle of all places. We didn't exchange any names, any piece of identity, means of contact, or even location, other than our initials, and knowing we will meet again some fateful day at the petit palais museum in paris. I've never met somebody who breathed love so authentically. There was not a single meme during the entire thing. No clichés. No internetspeak. No irony. No disrespect. This never happens these days. I felt like it was two souls having a sincere exchange. And i really went got of it with a deeper appreciation for life. This person leapt towards the light. And so, so wise. The purest sensibility i've ever had the pleasure and honor to encounter.
In the end, not one of us wanted to click away and leave the conversation. We could have simply asked for each others contact information, but there was this impulsive force that stopped us from doing it. Folly of romance? We just kept making these increasingly verbose wishes and hopes, and it never felt ridiculous. Everything felt so authentic, even though it shouldn't. So many exclamations too.
Whoever and wherever you are, M.S, I will cherish you forever. You have stunned me. Thank you so much. I am blessed.

In terms of /lit/, why do the greeks get such a boner for "goodness"? You'd think you could just boil it down to "if it serves an intended purpose, it is good, and if it doesn't serve that purpose or serves a counteractive purpose, then it is bad." It's not rocket science.

Not filtered, just curious. "Goodness" seems to be a fixation for them, from what I've read and know, and I'm wondering why.
I could understand stuff like arguing about ideal civilizations, how the planets and stars came to be, what people actually are meant to do on earth and why they differ from other animals, etc. But to get real into "what does it mean to be good" strikes me as a pointless thought exercise because people will have different definitions of good, let alone what constitutes goodness.

But how do you determine if the said purposes of things are good or not? Towards what should our actions be oriented? Also, being incapable of thinking outside of mere instrumentality is something peculiar in the history of humanity, pretty much only 21st century burgers think like this.

I feel intense dread. 1 year out of college with no bites on my job applications. I studied a humanities field so I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be this bad. Was working full-time as a waiter and the money was good and I liked my coworkers but it's not sustainable long-term. I can't keep living at home.

I am looking at teaching English abroad. Getting a certification is doable but it's a serious risk in terms of the money I've saved. I've never left my home city. I would miss my family but I know I have to take a risk. I would love to teach.

The greatest times of my life revolve around school. Curiously, mostly when I was alone. On the bus going to swim meets, feeling every bump, forehead pressed against the frosty dark window. Somehow I knew everthing would be ok. In college. Getting up, walking to the old, worn-down gym in the winter. Shock blue of icy sky and the city twinkling below. Billowing clouds of water vapor from the buildings and hospitals. Somehow it felt ok. And you feel the cold metal bar dig into your skin and you know you're alive. That's real. Someone not enough since then has been real.

I need the vastness of the city in wintery dawn. I need space to think. I need time to breathe, even when the air is so cold it hurts. I'm sick of worrying and career planning. My life, my real life, is lived in impressionistic memories of solitude in the urban landscape. On parking garage rooftops. Would I still be yearning then?

>But how do you determine if the said purposes of things are good or not?
By how well they fulfill the goal. If you want to attach two pieces of wood together with a nail, a wrench would work, but a hammer would work better. A sponge would be useless, therefore not good. But if you want to secure the pieces with a screw, a wrench would be better than a hammer and a sponge would still be useless. If you want the pieces secured quickly and cheaply, a nail would be better than a screw, but if you want them securely connected with no fear of the connector falling out, a screw is better than a nail. The goal decides whether the implementations are good or not. More of an open-ended "ends justify the means".
>Towards what should our actions be oriented?
Towards what we want and need from life.
Say you want a lot of kids. You could achieve that through rape, but there will be a lot of negative consequences. Therefore, that is not as good as polygamy, which would achieve the goal better than monogamy. But to raise the family would require a lot of money, therefore money is good. You could steal the money, but working a job would have fewer consequences if caught, therefore work is good.

I majored in political science, philosophy and a foreign language. Went to a top tier public university in a major US city, 3.9 GPA, have a portfolio, awards, job history, etc. If I didn't receive a tuition scholarship and had loans I would not have attended.

I am fucked for grad school because most programs want 4 letters of recommendation from professors and I don't have the academic connections. I think I'm "fucked" in the job market because I focused on schoolwork and didn't network. Then again, supposedly it is very hard to get a entry level job for most college majors these days outside of STEM (esp. CS and nursing) or nepotism. The only guys I know who graduted with me who are employed right now are both CS major and both got their jobs through family friends. Everyone else is working a wage job or unemployed or back in school.

Is trade work a good idea? I'm not sure. I actually like working with people, especially women, so it would be hard for me to be something like an ironworker all day, though I don't mind physical labor. Trade work is good money but it depends on what your goals are. All I will say is this: corporate work a is a hard road to follow. I am lucky I have no debt, otherwise I'd be in a really bad place.

Sounds like a nightmare. Its a shame our best and brightest and exploited like that. Desu I was destined to be a C student at some throwaway state university. Thinking I made the right choice to drop out.
Anyway America has a huge fucking economy. I've met contractors who work in all kinds of industries. Met one guy who builds custom fish tanks. He's rich. Met a land developer who was telling me about work regarding testing and managing ground water. Even window manufacturing and installation is a major industry. Turns out windows are quite expensive. A lot of rich people have ponds installed in their yards. Those are extremely expensive. So tradie work isnt confined to cutting sheet metal. And I'm guessing you're in your early twenties. Not too late to get started. there's a lot of opportunity and since most of your competition are literal retards and illegal mexicans, its not difficult to impress potential employers.

There is definitely a lot of cash in trade work. It just feels off for me, they say use what you're most skilled at and I'm most skilled at writing and explaining things to other people. Only "trade" I could possibly see myself in is military and LE, and I've thought about both extensively and even applied for some jobs but.

Additionally, I'm not sure if you've worked around trade guys before. You said you were in a phil. program so I know the kind of people you were around. I am around guys who work in restaurants all day so I'm assuming trade guys are similar: not being mean, they are often some of the stupidest and most materialistic men you will ever meet. The culture difference is real and you will probably feel a lack of connection. I say this as someone who can easily joke around with others and give/take shit. A lot of that work can be physically challenging over time, do not forget. Just things to consider.

They always seem friendly though. I have a lot of respect for those mexicans who are laboring away in the sun all day.
The materialistic and vain people I know are all college educated white collar workers. You should try to let go of that ego. It will hold you back.
Anyway, reading and writing is great for scribes but clearly it hasn't given you any economic advantage. Maybe take a look into doing clerical work some small businesses. Havjng worked with self employed people I see that running a business is really tough work on the paperwork side of things. They all tell me they can do the actual work all day, but the paperwork is a nightmare. Theres small businesses in tons of sectors. I'm sure they need scribes.

This is gonna sound like a pretty /k/tard-tier post, but there seems to be no place for warriors in our society anymore. Instead we make our own petty wars. Bickering online, office politics, general passive aggressive displays of petty power over our fellow man. I believe these ills could be greatly reduced if man was allowed to properly channel his God-give capacity for violence. Sometimes, words can't say the same thing as a fist or a blade. Yet we are taught that it is wrong to fight each other under any circumstances. We neuter ourselves into believing that war is a savage thing that our enlightened society has left behind. But are we that much more enlightened for suppressing these natural feelings?

I really want my ex from 10 years ago to care about all my mental illness. I don't think that's entirely healthy, but virtually nothing is. I think she is at least the person that came by far the closest to ever loving me in any sense. If I were to meet her now and it turned out she is unmoved by my illness (which began while she and I were together, and which she never even noticed (yes, this is the closest thing to love)) that would be very hard for me to handle. My mom never gave a shit, she kind of tries to now but it's way fucking late and she isn't very good at it. I 100% believe my ex serves as some kind of "mommy" in my head. I've been so bad mental healthwise that I haven't been able to remember or feel in years and years, I mean for real I don't think I've ever been in contact with my real feelings for my ex in all these 10 years until now. I have acted strange with her before, I assume this was because there's something fucked up psychosexual going on. I am not going to contact her, I will ride out whatever the fuck is going on. I've thought about her very, very much in the last 7 weeks or so. Very, Very much. I fantasize about meeting her. But the last time I went through what I thought that would be like, she (my fantasy) was indifferent, and I didn't react very well. Nothing worse than anger expressed in bitterness. But I don't want to be bitter about this, I want to not care about it. She's some woman from 10 years ago. Who happened to be the only person who ever, etc, etc. But still.

Last night I dreamt that I'd been stabbed over and over and I always lying on the floor dying. But it wasn't scary, it was beautiful, because I realised in that moment as the life was passing out of me, that my soul would be reincarnated into the body of another. The idea of being born again excited me greatly, but I was then filled with great sadness, because I knew that I would not be able to carry with me and memories from this life into the next. I remember feeling sad that I would never see my friends again. And yet I felt a supreme comfort, like this was the way things were meant to be.

It was such a real dream.

Need another opinion on this because I feel as if I'm going a bit crazy. I made friends with these guys over WoW last year and we like to hang out in discord. Over time I've found out that these guys have known each other for a while (like 4-5 years now) so they've all met each other in real life and everything. With that I've also learned about the drama that goes on with them in their lives. One big topic was this friend of one of the guys who would come into the discord semi-recently. He's twenty-two (as are most of the guys in there, or at least around that age, while I'm twenty-five). Recently he started seeing a seventeen year old.

This was tantamount to a cataclysmic event to these guys. They were just like freaking the fuck out at this twenty-two year old guy seeing a seventeen year old. Calling him a creep, a pedophile, all this stuff, while also supposedly being friends with him. My first thought was okay is there something legally wrong with this, I check and the age of consent where he lives is sixteen years old.

Am I crazy for thinking this is really not that big of a deal? I get that five years is a bit of a gap, especially at their age, but being not that much older myself I really don't see what the big deal is. I haven't really aired my dissent just because of the huge amounts of vitriol they were throwing his way (in some ways I think it's a doth protest too much situation; they're a little TOO outraged about it). I guess it's a little odd but it's not outside the realm of reality that a twenty-two year old and a seventeen year old would date, especially if they're just fucking around.

Also somewhat on the topic was I was discussing the movie Call Me by Your Name with some friends and, like this other group, they were acting like a twenty-four year old fucking around with a seventeen year old is some kind of dangerous, vicious predator (I also remember the word pedophile being used, and that doesn't seem appropriate in either context really).

Am I the creep here? Why are they acting like this is some preposterous thing? Is this a phenomenon with zoomers or something?

Went to cheer up a friend a couple of weeks back when he was on the brink of suicide. This experience left me with a strong sense that this was the "first" purely adult-wordly thing that has happened to me. Feeling shocked and grateful at the same time. Grateful, that i got to experience such a mix real and serious emotions. Shocked for obvious reasons.

Friend is feeling better for now after his excursion at the psychiatric hospital.
