I fucking hate being mentally ill. I have a severe identity disturbance and I can never understand who I am. One day I think I'll convert to Islam for the third and final time the next I'm a raging homosexual hanging around the gay people on my campus. I have three different discords where I'm essentially different people. I don't know what to do anymore.

Virtue can be inspired , but that only means that the intrinsic good in someone is brought out. It cannot be self-willed without thereby rendering it inauthentic. There can be no self-conscious virtuousness.

All virtue is unintellectualized, unreflected, and therefore unpremeditated. It is always simple and direct, and from that derives its purity. Take the loyalty of a good dog. A good dog cannot be anything but loyal. The dog gives loyalty naturally and without hesitation. He has no concern about, or awareness of, how his actions will be perceived. Nor does even a notion of morality beyond the most primitive punish-reward disciplinary axis. His loyalty is of his essence . It’s how he is, not how he acts. And how he is isn’t the consequence of how he has acted in the past. How he acts is a consequence of how he is. He has no say in the matter. Loyalty is part of his constitution.

A virtuous person is the same. For them there is no trying to be good. Character is not the outcome of a history of actions. A bad person, after all, can do good, but sometimes in a double-sided way, with a private consciousness that it is for their benefit and that the deed is done only because it wins the approval of others.

Often we see a conflict between ethics and law, but this stems from a confusion between the two meanings of the words “right” and “wrong.” The words can mean either morally acceptable/unacceptable or factually correct/incorrect. All law is by design amoral, because it is more concerned not with what is morally right, but factually right in the sense that, did an action break the law or not. While the heinousness of a crime is factored in with the judgement of accused, they are not on trial for being a bad person, nor are they for doing something bad. Here, and only here, do the moral passions and the law dovetail, for what is illegal and morally wrong are coincident.

The domain of action belongs to law. To character belongs ethics. What matters is not that someone behaves virtuously, but that their character is virtuous. Law regulates actions and relations, but to it character is untouchable. To the extent that law seeks to regulate character it slips into the worst kind of tyranny. Here is what's so sordid about identity politics, both fake virtue via the public signaling, and cancel culture, mob-mentality moral justice. Both are symptoms of the false morality of self-willed virtue.

Nah, I was born a Z000-mer, I meant it more like being sacred of growing that old, like, I can't imagine myself still alive at age 35, that's the end. So many doors closed to you simply by reaching that age. There is no more zest, no more excitement about life, I don't remember ever seeing it in the faces of people of that age. I feel like it's only sedated accepted of missed opportunities and ever-mounting cope and regret for "not having lived enough while still young". And I think all people know that, they just don't like admitting to it, because they know it to be true, and it hurts them. I mean, if I, say, decide to kill myself while in my twenties, there will surely be some tragedy to it, at least a few people will think "oh no, so much potential lost! How horrible!", but I've never seen such a reaction for people who lived past their thirties. It's like "They've had their chance. They didn't achieve the desired. They entered the actual playing field and couldn't take it, oh well, another one bites the dust." Even some deeply religious people, who think "ALL life" is sacred won't REALLY care much for these people, because there simply is no tragedy in that death.
Like, you could even take a death of some well-loved celebrity past their 30s and a death of some averagely-promising young man, and I bet people would feel more sympathy for the younger for there simply being a chance that he could've achieved something.
What tragedy is there in the death of a old man? "He had lived. What? He never found happiness? Like the rest of us, like the rest of us, join in the misery club!"

I think Shestov put it well in his "Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche":
"...If Nietzsche[in his thirties, having spent his youth devoted to "high and beautiful" idealism which he came to resent] had killed himself then it wouldn't have been a sacrifice, it would simply be suicide of a man. And the alter accepts only offerings of high excellence. Who would care about jaded, broken, tortured souls? No, like heathen gods, they require only young, fresh, splendid, happy lives, untouched yet by the sufferings."
Blake, in his "Songs of Innocence and Experience" — he sound outright bitter at times in Songs of Experience.
Dostoyesky with his example of child's torture unavenged in BK. Why is did he use the image of a child? Because I am sure he also knows, a writer such as he surely would, that people adore and lust after *potential*, the life force, the zest. I could go on and on about this topic: virginity, child sacrifice, tragedy. I've given it some thought and I just can't fathom how someone can HONESTLY claim that the life "is only starting out" when you reach your thirties when it is so obvious that life past twenties can ever compare to the time of your youth. Especially in our time, when everyone, and I am amazed how no one is yet to point it out, is conditioned by the omnipresent anime culture into this idealistic worldview where everyone is cute, all love is pure, and everyone has their own characteristic to them role to play. I can't imagine an average man in his fucking forties associating himself with some idealistic archetype as if some hero of the story. It's almost like some potent spirit of youth has left their body.
Maybe I'm hella wrong, considering that I'm in my early twenties and know fuck all about "real" life, but I just can't project myself into that "real" life, I juts can't see myself living past the age of thirty, it just seems devoid of any movement. That is why I genuinely feel, well, at least uncomfortable typing out "03/20/36" — be I a millionaire, acclaimed author, a fucking rockstar by that time, what good is it if it all is just larp after "youthful glow".

And yes this is a form of essentialism. I understand well that essentialism can obscure . The essence of a thing cannot be reduced to any further components and certainly cannot be changed. "It is how it is" isn't a satisfactory explanation for anything. From the above analysis it may be gleaned how performative virtue is not it at all. It hints also at the flaw of deontological ethics. If one does good because of feeling duty bound to obey a categorical imperative, the source of virtue is not intrinsic to oneself. It is a rule-based standard from on high to which one is held and to which one compares. But this simply means that one does not know for oneself what good is. You have to look it up in a manual as it were . Take the guidebook away and one risks sinking into vice. All virtue is intrinsic to character and is never acquired. The question is then not where virtue comes from but what brings about the formation of virtuous character . As for what develops character the first impulse is to refer to childhood upbringing. Even children have tiny characters before they are socialized. They may be too grasping, or too bashful or keen to spend more time in their own imagination than with others. Know someone well enough from cradle to the grave and you can spot a constant through-line of personality running through their lives like a current.

Perhaps there is no rational explanation for the origin of virtuous character. Perhaps it is the karmic seeds of that person, the karma-phala, "fruit of action" accumulated from past lives. This only evades the problem, as we have already posited that virtue can be cleanly separated from action, and that the character is not the sum of one's actions. That at most begs the question of why one's character is so contingent on how one has acted, with out without intention. The loyal dog would never reincarnate beyond the his station as a canine, because a dog cannot act good or bad, but responds out of hunger or bonds to his master. Without choice, without free will, there can be no virtue or vice. The doctrine of dependent origination therefore contradicts the idea that one can intentionally do good. One must be compelled to do so.

The relationship between vice and psychopathology is similar. Virtue is a form of mental wellness. From the good comes good. Contrarily, vice is a sign of mental disorder. If it were not otherwise, it is impossible to behave maliciously and therefore immorally because malice is the product of tainted compulsion. Strangely, the implication of all of the above is that one can neither do good or do evil knowingly. Innocence is a precondition to true goodness. One cannot conceive of behaving otherwise.

So, anons, I went out with my coworkers like I said I was going to. Most interesting part of the night is when a couple showed up to join us, and I kept ending up sitting next to her, even though she had her boyfriend with her. She kept trying to give me sips of her drink. I was the least drunk person there. Someone brought up bisexuality, and then this girl chimed in that she thinks most men are bisexual, which I thought was weird because her boyfriend was there.
I ended up chatting up this blonde girl (which was cool because that bar was almost entire Latino), but it was clear we we're both half-sober.
All and all, it was a lot of fun. I should've tried to go further with that girl. Not to make excuses, but we didn't even start talking till the very end of the night when the lights went back on at the club, and most people were sobering up.
I'm still wondering how the fuck to meet girls when these clubs are absolutely crowded and most people are in tight groups.

I thought about power and what it means to be "powerful" and I tried making a ranking of power.

I decided MONEY is the greatest power in existence. Enough money makes you godlike.
The second greatest power was IDEOLOGY, which is religion, politics... basically any cause or idea that can make people kill.
Then came STRENGTH, raw strength, the strength of a person breaking your nose with a brick, or a bullet flying through your skull, or a nuclear bomb vaporizing life on earth.
At the bottom was the MIND of the individual. The will. A mind is easy to smother, to destroy...
But then I thought more about it , and I came to the conclusion that the MIND was also at the top, it was the most absolute power... you can have a lot of money, you can be in a position of political power, you can have a gun... but if your mind is not right, it wont do you any good.

The most absolute power lies within the individual. A man made 900 people kill themselves. One mind at the top of the scale versus 900 at the bottom.

That's okay. I have no real expectations for romance for the moment, maybe ever. I'm 20 and my dick doesn't even work that well anymore, anyways. In terms of putting myself out there, the emotional turbulence that I endure in that cycle of interest, pursuit, and rejection is not worth disrupting the things I want to do while I'm here. It sounds like cope but honestly from a cost-benefit perspective, getting into a funk over a girl that doesn't want you, losing resolve, and breaking a well-established routine is not worth it to me. Yes, I'd like to someday meet a girl who is genuinely invested in art and have a small house and work on our craft in adjacent rooms, but first I need to become a man that can be proud of himself. I think when you lack direction, and are generally insecure in life you think about how many guys she fucked and all that. How many pornstars have I ogled? Hours wasted on the internet? A lot.

Can confirm. It very much creeps up on you. I am capable of drinking a frightening amount of booze and not even realize it or feel it in the morning. It takes other people to point how much I quaff down for me to notice. As with any addiction you need to consume more to have the same effect as before. In my younger days I drank too, but there was always something playful and harmless about it even when it made me sick. Now with time I have seen for myself the damage alcohol can inflict on relationships, career, health, and general quality of life.
Tragically I don't see myself ever going without it. While I'm not at the point that I "need" it, I do experience cravings if I go without it. Moreover, and this is perhaps the most dysfunctional confession in this post, my life wouldn't make sense to me without it. It has a function. Mostly it allows me to feel and to access my emotions. Often to destructive effect, surely, but that's better than a complete shuttering of that essential dimension of inner life which I otherwise find happening.

The most realistic thing I can surmise about these fantasies is that polygamy is a natural phenomenon, but it would be more humiliating to be polygamous than to be single for the rest of my life. Unless I controlled everyone. I wish I could control everyone. I just want to know what it would be like to touch another woman's breast, but I understand how fundamentally procreatively unsatisfying the conclusion of that sexual relationship would be. I wish for suicide often.

The mechanical philosophy of Descartes was refuted in the 17th century by Newton. When Newton showed the existence of occult forces, interaction without contact, he made irrelevant the mechanical philosophy. Rather than exorcising the ghost in the machine, Newton rid us of the machine. Ever since, Science has been reduced from trying to find an intelligible world to trying to find ineligible theories relating to a humanly unintelligible world.
We've known the world to be non-material for centuries. We have mathematical models, many of which are deterministic, but there is, as there always has been, unaccountable behavior and incohesive theories that cannot absolutely coexist. Science does not depend on "determinism" the same way that science does not depend on the mechanical philosophy. We study and search for accurate models, but the world has proven to be humanly unintelligible.
As for whether I "feel" in control and my thoughts on human behavior, I think the question is meaningless. Personal introspection is a futile exercise more fit to be labeled "navel gazing." Neuroscience is certainly a worthwhile field of study, but one would be amiss to say it is humanly intelligible. The fact that we've debunked determinism has nothing to do with "free will."
We have an innate sense of determinism and we have an innate sense of "randomness" which shape our view of the world. This enables us to construct models such as the impressive works of Descartes, but it also limits us from comprehending the nature of our world. Being reduced from finding an intelligible world to finding scientific theories is significant and cannot be understated. It is clear that we cannot conceive of anything other than determinism.
Personally I think that "free will" is a concept riddled with problems of undefined and incomprehensible to science notions such as "self" and "choice" which are probably just artifacts of our introspective mechanisms and our need to model our organism within our model of the world around us. Compression artifacts, if you would. However it is abundantly clear that determinism is a false assertion.

I've been creatively barren lately. Nothing's in my head. Nothing stirs me to wonder or write. The genesis of this fallow period is obvious enough to me. A series of demoralizing shocks have been visited upon me. The wind hasn't quite been take out of my sails. My sails have been riddled through and through with grapeshot, so the creative winds that pulse and churn through the mystical ether everywhere and at all times do not lift it. I hope to recover my mojo but every time it leaves me it feels like the end. It has come and gone before, but each time it feels like the last, and this back and forth cannot continue for eternity. Most frustrating of all there seems to be nothing I can do about it. I have to just wait and hope it returns and that the one source of meaning in my wretched life will return and give back my purpose. Do I have faith? To what god do I pray.

Given that my life is finite and that all that constitutes my strength will decay, it's incontestable that whatever waxes will finally and forever wane.

There is no sentiment I despise more than hope. Weak, groveling, desperate hope. The capacity for hope is the last indignity heaped upon the human soul by a cruel and indifferent God. Hope has no appeal but to the powerless, but even to them it does no service and has no value. Because to place your trust in hope is to vote for powerlessness. For hope is the last attempt to salvage some good from this world when all our powers have failed us and there is nothing that can be done. Hope is a gamble. Worse, it is the gambler deceiving themselves into the belief that the house does not always win, that the house, contrary to reason, is rooting for them to win. Faith, the close cousin of hope, I can at least respect. Faith requires a certain strength of will. Hope is the collapse of strength, a surrender before a universe filled with entropy, poisons, radioactive abysses, parasites, full of an infinite assortment of possible configurations that drive human hope to extinction. Hope is a fool's bet. No matter what fate throws at me I will never submit to the indignity of hoping.

I generally concur with your line of thought, but I don't think it's fair to say that discipline isn't a result of motivation. There has to be some sort of motivating factor there for you to discipline yourself, unless it is just mere habit (which is itself a motivator). Maybe meta-motivation, a more intellectual and less sensual motivation underlies discipline.

the odd thing i've noticed about all the 'falls' of love is how they seem to transport me to another being or way of life previously buried and subordinated. for example, during these spells, work and everything to do with the acquisition of resources (and powers) quits becoming the structuring or underlying principle of my reality. The value shifts from the game of life to the game of love and both feel as 'real' and intense as the other. on the one hand, the sober, rational and motivated intermit periods are set on the very real material game of acquiring things and abilities to give you a more comfortable (even exciting) future while on the other hand the falls are so intensely dramatic and surreal that the experience alone satisfies some aesthetic drive to live in the extremes of emotion.

determinism is a condition in which everything happens in chain, cause effect cause effect and so on, no one can escape and no one can change it. To believe in this, you have:
1) to use your mind to create the concept of logic first, and decide what’s correlated and what’s not, ergo using your senses.
2) so, the concept of logic, if you are in the deterministic model, must be a process caused by your own chain of causality
3) so technically you cannot say logically if your logic is logic, or biased, because, if you are the result of your causality, there is no way for you to recognize that you are in mistake
4) so you have to put logic above causality, and assume it is correct the way it is
Leading to: to believe in determinism you must use a non-deterministic concept first (an utopian, unfallacy, abstractian logic), making your belief irrational (because in determinism there cannot be such things as you cannot know if the causal chains leads to a mistake or not, in the end you just believing in rationality). Ergo determinism cannot exist without the imposition we made at the beginning, using the very brain that it is the result of its own chain of event (not-provable of its own correctness), which it is a presupposition itself that determinism cannot exist.
To sum up, if you say determinism exists, you are assuming your logic is above chain of event because you simply can’t know if your reasoning and rationality is correct, ignoring that that very logic is (as everything would be) a result of a chain of event you cannot say if you are right or wrong, making your assumption in determinism just another religion
Logic imposes that believing in determinism, even if it is correct, is irrational.

Living with a 'normie' has been eye opening. Really put into perspective how 'weird' I am.

Yes it's a horrible feeling and if you've been dealing with it for 8 years then I'm sure you've tried many different things so feel free to ignore my advice, but I used to feel this way for a long time and even though my life isn't objectively great at the moment I feel a lot less morning dread than I did in the past and I'll tell you what helped me.

First thing was quitting drinking during the week - this was probably the biggest single thing that helped. Even one drink in the evening will feel me with dread the next morning. It's not a hangover, it's just the fact that its in my system I think. I'm also old enough now that I have a big night on Friday it will ruin my mood for the whole weekend, even into Monday. Still working on controlling my weekend binge drinking, without much success mind you, but I'm glad at least that I am aware it is something I need to work on.

Another big thing was doing some anti-catastrophizing in the morning. *Consciously* reminding myself that things aren't ACTUALLY that bad in the grand scheme of things really helps. It can be hard to do this - or to even want to do this - because your brain has tricked you into thinking that yes things really ARE that bad, so a part of you is resistant to wanting to even admit that you're wrong. It's not about lying to yourself either. You don't need to pretend things are good if they really are shit. It's about reminding yourself that even if things are shit, it's not the end of the world.

All the other cliches still apply: exercise, eating well. The ole' AA mantra: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference etc.

One thing that I've noticed about myself over the past year or so is the fact that I am very suspicious of other people's friendliness. It's strange because I don't recall ever being hurt or manipulated in any way, which is probably what you'd assume if I told you that I was suspicious of other people's friendliness. Maybe it's from growing up in the city, but I treat everyone I meet with suspicion like they're trying to get one over me. This is a desirable trait when dealing with grifters on the street, but less desirable when dealing with ordinary people with genuine intentions. I suppose it is because I can't stand inauthenticity so if I can tell that someone is running through a script in an attempt to be friendly I immediately get suspicious of them, even if their intentions are completely innocuous. It's like I'm thinking "you don't really care, you are just saying that to come across as relatable." I can tell that it's fake. But the thing is, who cares if its fake - it shouldn't be a problem, they are just being nice. Yet still, when I notice it it's like I lose all connection to the person and it doesn't recover.

I'm aware that this is a negative trait and it's probably one of the few problems that therapy would actually be useful for, but whatever.

I was having a discussion with my friend on the whole transathelete thing. We both agreed that it was unfair to have say MTF athletes in female competition.

Then I told him the cleanest option is to keep a separate category given the unique physiological conditions and drug (test, suppressants, etc) stuff that is involved. The whole point of different sport categories was reasonable competition and this would ensure that.

He then said that having a separate category was discrimination against trans people. And that my argument of different sports categories is flawed and asked where the line would be dropped. He then said, by my logic, black athletes should compete in different categories because they are so much more genetically- and physically- gifted than non-black athletes.

I felt that was such a shitty argument and classic whataboutism, but I had no points to really back that up. Who is right here?

"The Holy Grail of Chemical Reactions."

They claim there is a mysterious chemical process that will solve the mystery of the origin of life. What a day, what a glorious day that would be.
Or it could be untrue. They could be searching for something they'll never find, not because they weren't smart enough but because it never existed in the first place.

You see, the chemical constituents do not aggregate naturally in a pre-biotic soup on early earth as easily as they once thought. In fact, you can run thousands of simulations of thousands of reactions of the chemical soup and still find no trace of the beginning of life.

Not only will this autocatalytic reaction perform proper synthesis, but it will also solve the problem of chirality.
That sounds rare and exotic as hell to me, why do they trust in miracles?

Yes, they go out of their way to prove it is possible, but never proving it is likely.

The quintessential story of the 21st century is about a white person with ridiculous amounts of neanderthal ancestry and testosterone, being a rare quasi-autistic genius with a laundry list of potential talents, while also being hung and extremely good at building muscle (while not working out). At the same this superior beast is feminine in spirit and experiences mobbing in high school. His superiority isn't recognized by the system he's living in, so he wanders around, detached and confused. He shares a lot of traits with low T and ugly but high IQ nerds, making him something like the last superior / original version of them, that is, a hyper masculine human with the spirit of the gifted east asian engineer archetype. He is in some sense the center of the world but he will waste his existence in this system

I think maybe the bond that is supposed to exist with my mother was instead forged with my ex. this is very impractical, since she is my ex and I don't expect to see her again. I get these strong, strong pangs of feeling that the most important thing in the world is that she, my ex, is alright. Often. I haven't seen her in 7 years I think, don't expect to see her again. I am not very interested in how my mother is doing. I also... I remember when we had sex, I was very interested in her breasts, licking and sucking them. I remember as I was doing that it struck me that this would be the kind of thing you'd do with your mother. I think the association says more than the fact. After that I was a little uncomfortable.

I just had a disagreement with my new neighbor. Maybe one of you wise anons can help me figure out wtf happened.

I moved from the suburbs to a rural area. The previous owners of my new house had an agreement with my new neighbor that the neighbor's goat could come in the yard and eat the grass. When I moved in, I briefly met one of these neighbors, the husband, and told him I'd prefer if their goat stayed on their side of the fence (I don't want goat shit and flies in my yard). They shut the wire fence between our houses and all was well, until a day later when the goat was back on my property. I realized he had found a way to slip underneath the fence. I waited for a few weeks to see if my neighbors would strengthen the fence (they must have seen the goat in my yard every day) but they neglected to solve the issue, so today I decided to go over and ask them what should be done. My neighbor's wife received me at the door. I'll post the conversation as well as I can remember it.

*door opens*
me: Hello, I hate to tell you this, but your goat escaped again.
her: Oh, yeah, the previous owners used to feed him so he likes going over there.
me: Are you planning to fix the fence?
her: I'm sorry, do I know you? (suddenly rude, sassy body language)
me: I'm your neighbor!
her: oh... (body language relaxes)
me: Yeah, sorry, I should have introduced myself. I think we met a while back, but you probably don't remember. So... are you going to fix the fence?
her: What, right now? (rude tone, body language sassy again)
me: ....
her: We drove a stake through the fence already.
me: But it didn't work.
her: Okay, well, what, what do you want us to do? (visibly annoyed)
me: ...
her: Look, here's my husband (she starts walking away) He's upset because the goat is in his yard
me: I'm not really upset, (o_0) maybe we miscommunicated. Look, I just came to ask what the deal was with the goat coming in my yard, and if you guys are going to fix the fence.
him: .... (visibly annoyed)
me: You can't keep your pet in someone else's yard, dude
him: He goes over there because the old people used to feed him. I already put a stake in the ground.
me: But it didn't work. Maybe some more stakes, through the bottom of the wires, up the fence line.
him: I'm not putting stakes in this ground.
me: .... what do you mean???
him: It's dry and the ground is hard. Maybe when it softens up again. [rain is over for the year because we're in a draught, so this basically means he won't deal with it this *year*]
me: When will it soften again, next winter?
him: Okay, I'll tell you what, I'll get some stakes and deal with it this week. (obviously pissed and not intending to do what he says)
me: Okay, fine.

And then the door closed and I walked away. I know he's not going to do what he says and I'm going to have to fix it myself.

Who was in the wrong? I'm pretty sure I'm borderline autistic, so I don't understand what the FUCK happened.

“Through three millennia of recorded history to date, centered around the Mediterranean, the civilized world has been run by two, bitterly opposed elites, the one associated with the faction of Socrates and Plato, the other with the faction of Aristotle. During these thousands of years, until the developments of approximately 1784-1818 in Europe, both factions’ inner elites maintained in some fashion an unbroken continuity of organization and knowledge through all of the political catastrophes which afflicted each of them in various times and locales. “It was the elite associated with the Platonic (or, Neoplatonic) faction which organized the American Revolution and established the United States as a democratic constitutional republic. . . . “In the aftermath of the 1815 Treaty of Vienna, the shattering of the power of the Platonic elite in Europe meant in large measure both a scattering of the main forces of that faction, and an associated, increasing loss of the “secret knowledge” through which the Platonic inner elite had formerly developed and exercised its factional power. From that time to the present period, the inner circles of the Aristotelian (or, more exactly, “neo-Aristotelian”) faction have been hegemonic increasingly in ordering world affairs. Although humanist (Platonic) factional forces have continued in existence and are represented among political and related elites today, the Platonic elite has lost connection to the body of knowledge upon which its former power depended . . . . “The principal function of this report is to summarily, but systematically identify the “secret knowledge” of the Platonic inner elite. That includes the Platonic’s knowledge of the secrets of the enemy, Aristotelian elite . . . .”

My butthole puckers and sighs. 25 ejaculations on this blessed Lord's day. My carpet is caked with dried cum. I haven't worn a single piece of clothing all day. My computer monitor buzzes cheerfully like a shell shocked soldier slightly unaligned with his surroundings. My right palm is calloused by the flame of a million fires, all day racheting at lightning speed my half erect phallus, fast and hard enough to create sparks. Today I have spent every waking moment cooming, edging and cooming. Another day well spent.

Because these names are often given not by the theorists but by outsiders, people who are running panels, critics and commentators who obviously have to differentiate their events or writing somehow. It's basic marketing.

They basically ripped the plot line straight out of Assassin's Creed, replacing the Assassins with "Platonists" and "Templars" with "Aristotelians."

Hey guys, I don't know where to ask this but are 90% of 4chan threads that 404 lost forever?

Waruso is so fucked based. It keeps all lit threads archived but I can't find any other good archiving website for boards like /his/... and even then you have to search by post number instead of key words in the text/subject/etc. is it all ephemeral?

Please help I open threads I'm too busy to read, they die, and I never get to read them. I'm gonna have to resort to archiving individual tons of individual threads a week.

I'm gonna try and start a meme that Stallone and Arnie are together the modern embodiment of each of these two elites, and they are sort of a litmus test, if you prefer Arnie films you're a Platonist or whatever.
Which one do you think is more Platonic and which was is more Aristotle?

I just realized something deep dark and wrong with me - I'm not willing to work hard to achieve my dreams.

Somehow before today all my life it was always daydreaming and someone else fault. Genes pool, bullying, upbringing, lack of control due to lack of education, lack of education due to lack of money yada yada. It was all dead end circles but I could still blame someone else but myself. Maybe tomorrow, maybe different subject, maybe different programming language...etc. to put a number - 35 years like that.

I was trying to watch some lectures today so I can have that ***imaginary(unspecified) well paid office job*** that i always subconsciously dreamed of. And it's just too hard. For me. And i don't have it in me the will to fight trough it. And I can't blame anyone for it.

I finally did it lads. I sunt to rock bottom. And it was always me. I finally get it now it's fuck me.

No. I'm an average white guy from the IE. I got stranded out here and desperately want to leave

[Anonymous No.20098511]

I recently got into a relatively minor collision with my company vehicle, and am waiting to hear back from my managers about what's going to happen next. Not sure if I'll even have a job after this. My position was a temporary one anyway, and it was set to end in June, but I really don't wanna be jobless again. This job let's me do a lot of my day-to-day things quite easily, and it pays well (30) also.

And my friends and I were planning a trip to Mexico, but I went to buy the rickets this morning and the flight is apparently no longer available. So I might not be able to even go on that one either. This trip was scheduled for June as well, so it would have been perfect timing, seeing as I would have probably been without work anyway so I wouldn't miss anything and could just focus on the trip.

I set up an appointment for therapy today, too. First time trying it, hoping to fix the issues of my life, or at least learn how to progress towards something to that affect. I really don't want to give up, because I know that life is just hard sometimes, but man does it really make convincing reasons to just leave everything behind.

And

Some pretty sick lines, bro. Do you write?
