“Let us live in peace and harmony!” begs the little man. But the law of the universe dictates that peace and harmony can only be won by inner struggle. The little man does not want to pay the price for that kind of peace and harmony; he wants it readymade, like a suit of manufactured clothes

On bended knees we pray for war, a blade draws blood but often tarnishes
Through blazing eyes I see new sunsets, sky now breaking different shades of red
We pray for blades, ablazing locusts call for wars to wet the earth
To cover the world in black and bracken, flaming stubble with churchbell battles
And then I lie in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to Christ and the pale
Queens mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow
Mighty in sorrow

Ein Traum, ein Traum ist unser Leben auf Erden hier.
Wie Schatten auf den Wogen schweben
und schwinden wir.
Und messen unsre trägen Tritte
nach Raum und Zeit.
Und sind - und wissen's nicht - in Mitte
der Ewigkeit.

I feel like most people don't actually believe their religion in the sense that they don't really understand it and it signals more of a social status than a belief. As a Catholic cpnvert, I've seen this in my old Protestant church and a few other ones, my current Catholic parish (I'm not the distrohopping type btw) and in the Muslims and Jews I see. It brings to mind why I like Rush's lyrics even though they are critical of religion whenever they bring it up: it's important to understand what you believe in order to choose with your entire being what is True, Beautiful and Good. Anything less is an abuse and missuse of human reason. I feel like most people are just incapable of truly being that intentional about what they belive and hemce in what they do in general. It's not physically or otherwise impossible, but they decide to sell themselves short and risk losing out on truly living the best life possible.

So now the time has passed
Enough distance between myself and it,
To see color curling off the pages.
A vine, tendril verdant, spinning down the edge
Lets fall a single leaf into forgetfulness
Then one morning, in that soft white quiet
It caresses the mind before pulling you to memory

Did it happen to me, as it stands before my doubt?
Or was it only one of those nightshade dreams,
Bearing poison in excess
I cannot rid it from my waking state
Perhaps I have been lying here for all time eternal
Shuffling through each of them with dumb excitement,
Until the light turns too golden through the curtains thin.

Day, at last, fears creeping encroach of its close,
And what once threatened the demands of day soon crawls
An infant in the face of what is,
Until it sprints so violent down the line of thought at night

Because I'm talking to college students that sperg abiut "Bro, Some Catholic/Protestant/Muslim/Jewish theologian be bussin fr fr (not literally but they essential say this)" or "How can atheists believe X?". It's immediately clear they just fon't understand why people might not believe something just due to lack of seeing things from a different point of view.

Also, these people, other than being Catholic/Protestant/Muslim, don't put the effort to trying to convert atheists or otherwise irreligious people, but have the energy to disparage them. These are missionary religions, so there's no real excuse for not trying to convert atheists. I feel like atheists for the most part aren't like that for rational reasons but for valid emotional reasons due to essentially being alienated/traumatized by religious people. I may be wrong vut that's the story of all the atheists I've seen. I don't see many religious people trying to reach out to nonbelivers, but they want to form isolated enclaves where they csn socialize rather than do what their faith demands. I feel that's not what real faith is.

Not even agreeing with it, just being through in the way they think. There's no way someone that is serious about their faith would bring that up and then do it in such an idiotic way. I'm not even disparaging them as people, I just think that they should focus more on the praxis of their own faith not someone else's.

I'm trying to decide what language to learn for literature and I'm been stuck between French and Spanish. I want to learn as I've heard good things about the literary tradition of both languages, but I know for a fact that I don't have the discipline to learn and maintain competence in both so I'd prefer to specialize in one of them.

I've set outlines for most, if not all of something I'm writing/working on and I've wrote a short summary/start to the story. I'm also thinking about the pages of A Short History of Decay I read earlier.

"Everything which prefigures death adds a quality of novelty to life, modifies and amplifies it. Health preserves life as such, in a sterile identity; while disease is an activity, the most intense a man can indulge in, a frenetic and . . . stationary movement, the richest expenditure of energy without gesture, the hostile and impassioned expectation of an irreparable lightning bolt."

Strange how small a town
Any strategic metrpopole is and seems

From any centre of happiness a little fond
Of every voice, face, capable of conversation like dance

Of wit unwinding, relaxing completely into tropical estuaries
Where life itself summits in the lowlands of memory astonishing--a cast

Of character best conveyed at speed invisible to creatures
Who can't enjoy the frosty glass of a car window

Opened by feather touch halfway down to a view of the Moon
Riding altostratus-veiled conjunction around Jupiter from exurbs so serene

The worst you can be here is content, with quiet prevailing
Beyond all belief, courtesy superflous as irony about faraway bitches and bastards.

So innate is this standard of civilization that
That you can't meet it except in person or the shadow

Of the most mellow genius who ever lived.

Beneath the surface of apparent liberality, progressive-liberals are actually prudish and moralistic in their own way. Particularly, and ironically, about sexual matters they are neurotically fearful of anything which does not neatly fit their sensibilities. Though maybe everyone's like that to an extent if I'm honest. There's probably some necessary social function to the creation of all these social standards of proper v.s improper behavior. The only difference is progressives are deceitful, pretending they don't have any standards so as to project a pretense of superiority.
To give a concrete example, in a literature class we were reading "A Tale of Two Women" by D.H Lawrence. In this novel there is a kind of skeevy character, an artist, who is described as drawing nude art of a 17 year old girl.
Most of the class seemed very offended and disgusted by this character, thought he was borderline "pedophiliac".
He's definitely kind of creepy, but she's almost an adult, and if an adult wants to have their picture drawn nude, it's just a drawing.
This was one moment when I started to realize the disconnect between progressive rhetoric about sexuality & actual beliefs, and it's quite possible the one stems from the other.
Though at another level, irregardless of political orientation regarding women many topics trigger this protective impulse in us.
Perhaps the open discussion of sex fuels a kind of paranoia underneath to compensate. Even the supposedly open rhetoric about sex on college campuses, the "sex out loud" groups I remember, were duplicitous. These groups make the realities of sex more obscure by trying to promote their fictitious vision of a perfectly clean, rational sexuality. Yet in trying to promote these standards they ironically end up recreating the same prudish standards they profess to hate.
These types very much resemble the Christian moralizing reformer of yesteryear. Think of the progressive Christian reformer of the early 20th century proselytizing against the uncouth behavior of new immigrants who did not hew to their protestant standards. They watch media with the same breathless moralizing hysteria, with the express purpose of encountering certain no-nos, which they secretly love (because if media were devoid of these no-nos, then there would be nothing for them to complain about). They wait excitedly to encounter whatever "ism" outrages their moral sensibilities the most: racism, classism, sexism ... so many isms. So that they can then express a deeply exaggerated affectation of outrage.

To the humanities MA working at Walmart from a previous thread, check insidehighered and higheredjobs for positions. Many only require an MA. Look for both admin and faculty jobs. I know a guy who taught community college with just an MA and started in the high five figures. There are also lots of admin office jobs where an MA is actually valuable. You can also look at adult education colleges. If you know Latin you can get cushy jobs teaching Latin at one of those if you're lucky.

The hedgerow was a tangle of thorns, a ragged curtain that shielded Edward from view. He crouched there, his eyes fixed on the scene before him, his heart racing with a mix of fear and desire.

Muhammad Ali and George Foreman stood facing each other, their bodies tense and coiled like springs ready to snap. In the bright light of the sun, Edward's skin sparkled like diamonds, a stark contrast to the dark, muscled bodies of the fighters.

But then, something unexpected happened. Muhammad Ali stepped forward and tenderly kissed George Foreman on the cheek. Edward's heart skipped a beat as he watched the two fighters embrace, their bodies pressed together in a way that made his own skin burn with jealousy.

For a moment, all the tension and animosity between them seemed to melt away, replaced by a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect. Edward couldn't believe what he was seeing - these were two of the greatest fighters of all time, about to face off in the most highly anticipated match of the century, and yet here they were, sharing a moment of tenderness and affection.

He knew that when they stepped into the ring later that night, they would fight with all the ferocity and determination of true champions. But for now, Edward was just grateful to have witnessed this brief, precious moment of unity and love between two of the greatest fighters of all time.

Beside him, George Floyd lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes closed and his face slack. He was a vampire now, high on fentanyl, his body wracked with the poison that flowed through his veins.

Edward turned away, his heart heavy with sorrow and envy. He knew that he could never compete with Muhammad Ali, not in the ring or in love. All he could do was watch from the shadows, and hope that one day, he too would find someone to share his life with.

I'm really frustrated with chatGPT or openAI or whatever it is. The way the developers have chosen to restrict the range of topics you can discuss with the algorithm is shitty. It just adds to the mystique of "forbidden knowledge" when the bot can't even formulate arguments for (e.g.) scientific racism... even if in the process of arguing AGAINST it. People are always going to make up their own minds. The best you can do is present people with the best information they can and allow them to make up their minds. Really, it's a lost opportunity to engage with people who hold esoteric views and actually convince them by engaging with their logic and presenting counterarguments. I am 100% certain that there is a nonzero amount of people who hold esoteric and otherwise unrealistic beliefs (this is NOT a jab at your beliefs, scientific racists) who could possibly gain the most from that interaction with an algorithm that will never get mad at them, insult them, call them names, etc., as happens in pretty much any interaction they'll have these days on those topics. It's just fucking stupid to just spout preprogrammed messages out that basically just deny service. Even if you believe sincerely in all that social justice stuff, the current implementation actively works against your goals. It's pants on head retarded and it's never going to change.

Becoming a man of inaction seemed impossible before as I couldn't even imagine people would stop trying to improve their lives but I'm doing it now. I don't want to do anything at all. I just want to exist peacefully, alone, and outside of the scope of any responsibilities. From a previously active lifestyle, investing my time in social activities and enjoying popularity among my peers to now successfully shedding myself from common human needs: I don't drink alcohol, I don't use drugs, I don't drink coffee, I limit my sugar consumption, I don't watch porn, I don't smoke, I don't party, I don't date or have one-night stands anymore. I've upholded this lifestyle for years now just because I felt like it.

I'm it now, I truly am a man of inaction. On purpose. And I feel nothing over it.

This makes me concerned for the vast majority of people who claim to be Christian. I'm a closeted Catholic who still goes to my Protestant family church and I've started to notice recently that the way people speak about God is really quite off-putting. Everyone's so unserious about what literally every other religion or religious sect considers to be critically important matters like morals and theology. People speak about Jesus like he's your pal, your mate who you meet up with at the pub and have a laugh with, rather than the incarnate creator of all things who will come again to judge the living and the dead. That's scary stuff, and I don't think the vast majority of even Christians are prepared for what's to come. Even the few times a year the preacher alludes to a "serious" God who actually cares about your actions and doesn't just forgive and forget as if nothing happened, he always immediately follows it up with Jesus loves you etc etc because the idea that one's actions have eternal consequences does not exist if you believe in sola fide. I should really start going to mass

When I was younger and autisticer I tried to explain to my mom that Zelda games should include a difficulty level that makes them actually hard for adults, like a Dark Souls or Halo Legendary meme difficulty, and that it would also be good for the kids because they would aspire to beat it and create kid culture around how far they could get. Now that I'm older and realize caring about things doesn't make them change and no one is interested in hearing your ideas, I mostly talk to my dog.

I also tried explaining to numerous people just how massive a letdown BotW was, because of the sameness of its dungeons and puzzles. If you already know what every place is going to be like before you go there, how is that exploration? Compare that to Shadow of the Colossus where I actually felt remorse when I ran out of unique things to explore, even knowing nothing gameplay related like a new weapon would be there, I just wanted to find every area because it was all unique.

I thought hitting the wall was a meme but HOLY SHIT I've looked at some girls I know and my goodness, it's simply over for them. They used to be so attractive, now they're just nothing. No one cared how few qualities they had because they were pretty but now there's just nothing left of them. I even thought I liked them for their personalities too, but once the looks vanished, they're just shadows of women. Whether they hit it at 35, 30, 25, or even earlier, it's just so brutal. First their selfies stop getting that any likes, then they start getting less attention, eventually they just get the message and hide from the world 90% of the time. Women really don't know what they have coming. Even myself I'm now less attracted to beautiful damsels because I know that once the wall hits, it'll be merciless.

Frankly, I think most Christians in America and possibly the Western world are naive about their faith and very uneducated about it and unlike other people with Christian backgrounds, they lack the zeal for actually making it to heaven . They have the means to be educated about it, but they don't make it central to their lives and dictate what they do. This isn't to say they should only focus on their faith to thebpoint of monasticism, but we are called to live in the world not be of it, yet for most people, their main focus with Christianity is what happens in the here and now, the fate of their eternal soul be damned. The windfall prosperity from the post-WW2 era in the US might be the primary cause for this in my mind. I think there needs to be a back to basics Christian movement where the Western world worries more about moral matters and how we can truly sanctify the souls of all the people in their nation. I think this a lost cause for most Protestant nations, not necessarily due to them being Protestant, but more due to the conservstive and liberal factions deeply entrenching themselves in political squabbles here on Earth rather than teaching sound theology and giving people the means understand experientially the importance of God's graces like an Orthodox or Catholic could in the Sacraments of Eucharist, Confession, Confirmation, Baptism, etc. I think we should also welcome all sinners that truly want to repent and people are on the outskirts of society into our church communities as brothers and sisters, even if it means we feel slightly less comfortable about them (so long as they don't actively try to sabatoge the church). Long story short, we should truly act like followers of Christ and parts of the mystical Body of Christ in all things we do and treat the stranger like a brother, not just follow the world to it's inevitable decay due to how comfortable it is.

I have kept a journal while on my Eurotrip and it's made me realise what a fucking awful writer I am.
Almost all my entries start with "today", there's no introspective on anything, I describe basically everything that I liked as "beautiful" or "amazing", each time I make a conscious effort to be "deep" it's like I'm a 15 year old on Reddit.
Maybe it's because it's a small book so I feel like I have not a lot of room to write or maybe it's because I write at the end of the day so I'm too tired to write some deep shit. Or maybe I'm just a terrible writer.

Lose 100 pounds and benching 300. Also, finding a woman that I can genuinely love as a person and getting married to her. The latter's out of my control, but that's where prayer comes in.

>>21460086
That's why you find a pretty girl you genuinely like as a personal and you can be genuine friends with(even within the context of a romantic relationship): even if the looks fade, you love her for more than what she looks like. You love her for the person she was, is and will be. You could hang out with her until the day you die. Even Ecclesiastes, Proverbs and Sirach talks about the perishing nature of physical beauty of a woman and the pride a good woman can bring to her husband. I hate how men worship the physical beauty of females. Yes they are beautiful but that doesn't mean they are good people nor does it mean it will last forever.

What's a "good family" relationship like? What's it actually like to have close parents and being tight knit?
I feel so emotionally limited when interacting with family, like I hide 80% of what I feel and think with them, I have never truly been comfortable with my parents and talking to them about what my thoughts really are.
I honestly feel so much closer to friends, they're the ones who know me at my deepest level and most vulnerable.

It's not as good as you think. Go play GTA and put on god mode with infinite ammo and all guns. Sure it's fun for a while but it starts feeling empty quickly. Women are ultimately trapped in the paradox of hedonism, where they can have anything without earning it or struggling for it, but earning and struggling are the spice of life. What usually happens is beautiful women just focus the same level of neurosis and misery on their minor imperfections or minor problems that an average person focuses on their own problems.

This isn't the same as saying "rich people have problems too" like some people say. It's invalid in that case because rich people still benefit tremendously from being able to solve all of life's continuous minor problems instantly, so they get worn down less and are happier and healthier in general. But attractive women really do get as much bad as good from being attractive, mostly because they're too stupid and naive to know what to do with the blessing they have been given, which is itself a function of the blessing's cursed nature, because being so blessed prevents them from ever fixing their stupidity and naivete even if they wanted to. They live in a bubble.

as long as you're reasonably fit and well dressed, you should be able to find someone. what you might not understand is that a lot of effort goes into chasing girls, when you look at other men with girls you're only seeing the fruit of their labour and not the labour itself. even the guys that get with a lot of girls face more rejections than they succeed, but the secret to their success is persistence and simply not caring about being rejected.

I need to ask, how many times have you been rejected?

Also, I forgot to add, attractive women are often surprisingly naive and out of touch when it comes to how attractive they are. When I first started dating I was fascinated in a sociological sort of way by the same thing >>21460477 mentions, how weird it must be to possess that much power just by existing and winning the genetic lottery, so I would ask girls about it whenever I gained intimate access to them. And aside from the typical dissimulation all women do, about how it isn't that great to be desired etc. (the same way the aforementioned rich people always say "I have just as many problems despite being rich, we're the same"), I noticed that they were oddly skewed in their perceptions of a lot of things.

6's and 7's tended to overrate their hotness to overcompensate, 8's and 9's tended to have such an oversaturated "local network" of fellow beautiful but shallow people or such oversaturated success attracting gigachads on Tinder that they simply never had the opportunity to interact with the mass of schlubs and gain an awareness of "I am a 10, you are a 2." They often had an almost sweetly naive egalitarianism. When they did accidentally interact with incels it's like they didn't know what to do with them, they really sincerely meant it when they said "just get a haircut," they would actually strain their brain to see themselves dating the incel. It's naivete, and it leads to the classic funny outcome of "just get a haircut bro," but at least it didn't come from seeing themselves as gods and incels as insects.

They also often saw their "power" as meaningless, for one simple reason: any woman who isn't tragically ugly can get a boyfriend, and all women know this. Also, women compete for QUALITY of boyfriend and almost viciously envy each other for high quality boyfriends. I've almost never seen my girlfriends or their friend groups envying each other for fucking gigachad (a 5/10 can do that), unless they're trying too hard to be Sex in the City whores for a laugh, but I frequently see them have real bitterness and envy because one girl in the group has a stereotypically devoted husband who buys her flowers and stuff, and the others have stereotypical guys with porn addictions who just play vidya all day etc.

Women live in such a different world, I think it's important not to project male categories onto them. Beauty for us is a temptation, it's a cruel thing when we can't have it, the social difference between us and an unobtainable beautiful woman is unbearable, etc. Desire for us is also very focused on power, possession. Women are basically just having the same gossipy tea parties in their heads from the cradle to the grave, they really don't ever become very worldly, or conscious of social and political differences.

It's easy once you have your foot in the door, it's getting your foot in the door that is hard. Women are built to tune out men until they do something interesting that makes them worth considering, they see men as the background NPCs of life. Sometimes you can get on their radar by total accident and end up having relationships or sleeping with them despite them being way out of your league, but then they will ignore millions of guys in their own league because those guys are still dime a dozen in the big picture.

This is why dating apps were such a crushing blow to ordinary guys, because women used to have a lower threshold for putting a guy on the radar because their number of potential partners was smaller. They were much more open to giving guys in chance encounters or at work or in class a chance, because they were themselves unconsciously conscious of a slight scarcity problem. They could go weeks or months without a date if they didn't take a chance here and there.

Now they sit on apps, and their unconscious is trained to see the world as an infinite and inexhaustible supply of boring men interested in them by default. Even the dumpiest 5/10 now has a fundamental starting attitude of "impress me, you're disposable." It's not hard to imagine the effects of this oversaturation, you can see an analogous process in porn. Why do you open 150 tabs and waste 2 hours instead of being happy to see a grainy titty like your dad was? Because you have infinite options. You naturally create a distribution of what's available and seek only the highest part of the bell curve. You're unconsciously always starting from a "meh, I could do better" assumption.

For average guys, all women starting from such an assumption is like a meatgrinder. It's impossible to get on a girl's radar in an incredibly gay dating app that forces you to either look like a boring feminized millennial tryhard or a low class meathead with nothing in between.

You can take some small advantage of how fucked everything is by refusing to conform to trends, and aiming for the small minority of women out there who aren't looking for either male basic bitches or "u wanna smoke" meatheads. I've known hot girls who dated guys 5 inches shorter than them just because the guy was refreshingly "4chan" and they were momentarily willing to prefer that over yet another basic normie.

I've also had an increasing number of girls recently telling me about how all any of their dates talk about is twitter and it's beginning to disgust them even though they also use it.

Why do we "celebrate" or worry how we celebrate so many holidays? It's better to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday and use it as a means to effect present and future action. A lot of American/Western culture has been devoted towards not doing active thinking and towards meaningless pursuits of pleasure. I'm not saying not to enjoy any holiday, but people overthink how they should spend their holidays instead of just doing it and making memories. It's such a weird way of thinking about looking at life. I might not be explaining myself well and this isn't directed at you at all, it's just something I've noticed: people are so passive and grief stricken over the smallest things yet they wonder why they sre stressed out and unhappy, despite not living life in the moment, using the past as a basis to direct their present to the future they want. It's a very weird way of thinking.

The most pathetic year of my existence is closing down. And yet, I still believe that 365 days from now, I will be doing well. There is no real logical reason to think so, not even a sign of good things to come, I just feel an oncoming breeze in my way. It better be true. I better justify my being here.

i'm over thirty years old, never worked a day in my life, and the chickens are coming home to roost for me. my dilletantism hasn't even afforded me a competency in literary expression, nor have i even bothered to try publishing. i am a waste, i would very much like to kill myself, but my mother, who i live with, relies on me, and would assuredly either wither away, a wreck of tears, or kill herself immediately.
i have no purpose beyond this to live for.
i have written hundreds of pages, all of them fourth rate, poems of exceeding mediocrity, banal stories that deserve burning at best, or as the bedding for a particularly diarrhetic pigeon. my entire life has been one mistake after another, i am a criminal, a slave to vice, one who has done more harm to people than any good. i am selfish and repugnant, overweight and ugly, oily and my stench cannot be washed away.
i am a coward.
i would love to hang myself.
i would love to fling myself from a bridge.
i laugh as the drugs i've taken just now envelop my senses, dull my meaningless and invite a mild demeanor, which is a numb phantom of that which is a menace. i will rise tomorrow on a new year an old, tired, unskilled, inexperienced, worthless insect. i beg that i might be killed so it is not my hand that takes such a wretched, meaningless life.

Californian here. The reason the nicotine ban was passed, undoubtedly, is because California is a strange matriarchy where we look at "the issues" entirely from a perspective of maternal protection. The matriarchy in question is a cabal of upper middle class white women voters, and they look down on all groups beneath them as victims, dumb animals that need to be protected from their own ignorance. There has been a years long campaign to ban menthol cigarettes as well. Why? Because menthols are disproportionately preferred by (read: "forced upon") black people.

So black Californians can thank white women for protecting them from their own consumer choices. Yes, women vote more than men, and this gap is higher in California.

I wonder if my problems stem not from irrationality in my process, but from incomplete rationality. Is the difference between rationality one of degree, not of kind?

Let's suppose we take Leibniz at face value and accept the Principle of Sufficient Reason, which states that everything that happens has a rational explanation. The universe is fully explicable, at least in theory. Nothing is beyond reason in the upper case, though it may be beyond our reason in the lower.

Then irrationality is simply an inefficient form of rationality. It's rationality done poorly. Even the madman has his reasons after all. They are just disjunct from the facts of the case, false reasons.

The distinction between irrationality and rationality, like so many binary oppositions in our language, is therefore illusory. Misapplications of reason are irrational.

Nor are the emotive drives, the instincts, the animal impulses of the lower brain necessarily irrational. They embody a rationality at the animal level and are simply incompatible with circumstances for which they were not evolved.

>to think for an instant that the west is the only place for losers to exist is pretty naive no matter how you slice it.
I have never said that, losers exist everywhere in the world and always will. We can not, and should not, remove them from society. What should not exist is the capacity to move through life without conscious effort. Everywhere else now and throughout history there was always a minimum level of effort needed to just survive, we no longer have that in the West. Fascism and National Socialism will return that vitality and requirement for motion.

>I don't hold any quaint notions of revolutionizing my country. it can be fixed without relying on fascism
I don't think it can, the symptoms can be addressed time and time again, but the root cause remains open and festering. Without something akin to Fascism or National-Socialism I don't think it can be fixed.

>All political formats have the innate corruptible factor of relying on the will of man.
Why is the corruption of one man deemed worse than the corruption of an upper and lower house, filled with corruption? That survive off corruption, that trade in and deal in nothing but corruption? It is far easier to remove one corrupt man than an entire system predicated on it. With strong ethnic bonds, corruption can be mitigated to some extent. Not removed entirely, but combated somewhat.

The French Foreign Legion is a fascinating case. It represents a kind of fascistic egalitarianism. Where the propagandistic slogan Diversity is Strength, suggests that social complication alone is valuable, the FFL posits: Strength Despite Diversity. To suit its purposes it makes uniform countless ethnicities, races, backgrounds: it proves that all are equal by proving that anyone who can endure harsh military discipline is de facto equal. Through spartan heaviness, it makes equal difference, equal in performance, equal to its high standard.

CA banned sale of all "flavored" nicotine vapes in stores.

I also quit cigarettes after vaping. Fucking Californians are obsessed with laws. It's like we've crossed a critical mass of legislation and now we're caught in a feedback loop of looking everywhere we might apply new laws, and ever newer laws to fix the old laws.

Women are children. When you look at a woman just remember she's a child. Imagine her looking back out at you, and at the world, and remind yourself she has the same experience you had when you were 12. Everything is more colorful, more lit up, more fun, but also more shallow and decontextualized. You can't teach a 12 year old why his ideas about politics from playing Call of Duty are retarded. All you can do is listen and laugh, and envy him for being able to take a video game so seriously. Women can literally look at a dog or a baby for an entire day and giggle and feel completely at home in the world. Women can probably smell colors. Women are high 24/7 on being a woman, which is like MDMA but better. You can't talk to a person that high. All you can do is pat them on the back and give them a soft colorful scarf to play with.

I would have written a whole lot more if I could skip the neurotic stage of figuring out which language to write in.
>Just write in your native tongue
I don't exactly know what it is, because our dialect is this highly approximative mishmash of multiple languages rolled into one (we're not gypsies, however), which is a syntactic nightmare. As much as I love it, I don't feel as "in control" of my element as I do in, say, French. But that still doesn't change the fact that the latter is not native to me, and that I won't be addressing my own people through it. If I make any advancements in writing in one language, they are practically useless when it comes to switching to another one. I'd be working with a mostly different framework each time, and this shit has been driving me nuts for a while now. I already had a fear of commitment in my regular life, so this extra wager that I have to make is standing on flimsy grounds by default. I guess it's the linguistic version of "jack of all trades, master of none", since I'm not really going to become proficient in any of them if I stay that way.
Have any notable bilingual-or-more writers elaborated on this dilemma?

They're preferred by kids and more white people smoke them. I'm not saying Californian white people don't believe a lot of racist memes and vote on them from both sides, but the ban is actually about kids smoking from a public health view.
Menthols are for kids and girls, because they're easier to smoke. It's actually white Californian women voting based on racist memes they have about who would light their menthol cigarettes for them and pretending they're not into that. The idea they're protecting black people allows them to forget they were in love with Angelina Jolie's character smoking Kools in Girl, Interrupted that they read the book, had the mental breakdown and smoked nothing but menthols til they turned 22 and got heavily into wine coolers and hung up their blood necklace.

Nabokov writes a lot about it. The problem is that different languages have different lifestyles attached to them, so phrases which don't carry external meaning can be weighty in other languages in ways that aren't simply translated. And most languages are a mishmash. We trade languages with everyone we trade with or steal ideas from or know for too long.

Two years ago, without God, I would've done it. I stood on my window sill and looked down, my head empty. I wasn't thinking at all and just wanted to disappear. I know I would've jumped back then if the fear of hell didn't hold me back, I really would've done it. No notes, nothing. At this very moment jumping out the window would've been as natural and as easy as opening my empty fridge in the morning. My life barely hanging by a thread, suspended from the window. Nothing has been the same after that day, as if I had truly jumped and somebody reanimated my body in a hurry and placed it back on the window sill, ready to live again, but missing the soul that whisked away.

No one knows about this and it's probably for the better. I've progressively distanced myself from everyone I know afterwards, to the point of totally disappearing from their lives. Some have asked me why, and I responded that I simply didn't know and wanted to be alone. I lied. The real reason is that I don't feel that need for companionship anymore, it's not as strong as before and as thus, can be ignored. I don't truly care about others. I've been pretending since this happened, acting like who I was before but I can't maintain it long-term. So I've moved cities. So I don't answers calls from anyone but work anymore. It's like everything that made me human jumped out that window back then.
I've been rereading myself and I write like an ESL retard but I'm in my twenties and I am living on my own.

I have attended some bible study groups but those can be alienating as the people around me live much more fulfilling lives and deal with more significant issues that make mine feel trivial. You know the feeling, like a high school reunion where all your former friends are married and have children while you are at the same spot mentally you were at 7 years ago. Hard not to feel some inferiority there, it's a personal problem but naturally I think I'm a very bitter person. In the past I've always avoided others in a similar way because I hated myself so much I was embarassed at the thought of others getting to know me.

When cats howl like this, especially when they're older, it's often because of three things:
- deafness (cat loses ability to moderate volume)
- blindness (mild to total, cat is lost and gets disoriented)
- dementia (cat forgets where s/he is and gets disoriented, wants help)
Often all three of these go together in varying degrees, so you can get sad combinations like a cat that already has a hard time getting around due to losing its sight, having the additional problem of getting confused and not being able to find its way again.

There are ways to deal with this like trying to minimize novelty in the cat's life, like furniture placement or big moves. A way to deal with the dementia is to always have the cat nearby, especially at night, so s/he can find you by familiar smells/sounds and any dementia episode ends quickly.

Another option is to get another cat, which is risky and needs to be handled with extreme care because cats can not get along, but if it does work, I've seen it really give an elderly cat a new lease on life, because they could basically lean on their new friend and always be cuddling.

Also as your cats get older, if they start to have constipation problems, or problems like bouts of not eating and then vomiting (ESPECIALLY vomiting that leads to frothy white and/or yellow vomit), this is not just "getting older," it's the colon losing its elasticity and not putting enough water in the stool for it to pass, so they get constipated. The vomiting themselves to death phenomenon comes from trying too hard to push the stool out, which triggers their vomit reflex, and this leads to them being dehydrated and starved quickly in an endless loop, so they die. If this happens to your cat, research and ask your vet about lactulose. A single drop of $10/mo laxative on your cat's food can restore the moisture balance and give him 10 extra years of life.

Also get your older cats regularly checked for renal failure, which can be managed to double your cat's lifespan:

Life is still real, vital, urgent, important- but not in the fickleness that we tend towards occasionally.

For what I did seven years ago. For not reading the room. For failing when I couldn't afford to fail. For feeling sorry for myself all the time. For not knowing what the right choice was. For failing to understand. For not being good enough. For having a big mouth. For wishing for something I can't have. For being ugly. For being too short. For having no confidence. For second-guessing. For raising my voice when I should have been calm. For trying to be relaxed when I should have raised my voice. For being an embarrassment. For being a bad friend. For being a bad son. For not being the brother I should have been. For my laziness. For resting on my laurels and believing I could always coast by without effort. For what I never noticed. For being self-absorbed. For persisting where I'm unwelcome. For scratching your truck that time. For not knowing what's wrong and not knowing how to fix it. For showing weakness unbecoming one in my position. For just plain not knowing how to connect with other people. For wanting someone out of my league. For never realizing I wasn't wanted. For not going through with it when I was 19. For being sick after everyone with us got better. For making you pay for it. For lying. For being a burden. For stealing. For lust that I allowed to control me. For that bet I lost and never paid. For being awkward and weird. For forgetting. For trying to forget. For being a burden. For what I've done and what I've failed to do.

Meaning is given to life by death alone. In fact, the fruit of life is death.
What you are doing is living under the notion that the purpose life is to live; in reality, the purpose of life is to die. When one lives for life itself, they chase meaningless pleasures and vacuous memories. In the end, all of those pleasures and joys will be twisted into suffering as age robs the body of its every faculty; inevitably, everything that one has ever done will be proven fruitless on the day of their death.
This is not a nihilistic idea. It is the most optimistic philosophy possible. The life-affirming religions of the world are simultaneously death-affirming; meaning, of course, is manifest through death alone. The life of a Christian is spent in preparation for death; repentance, purification, and worship, all for the single moment of truth in their lives; death. The very namesake of Christianity completed his life through death- Christ became the Redeemer through crucifixion. Buddhists hold true the same death-affirmation. It is only through a life lived for death that one can achieve enlightenment. True religions affirm the single meaning of life- death.
However, suicide is a meaningless form of death. Suicide itself is an expression of life. When one believes they desire death, what they really desire is life. The life of pleasures they didn't or believe they cannot experience, or perhaps a life free from suffering. Nevertheless, those who kill themselves do so for life, and thus even their death becomes as meaningless as their life.
It was not too long ago that I believed I desired death; perhaps the same as you. I realized that not one person who is yet living has ever wished for death. Anyone with a true desire for death has already committed suicide. To speak that desire is to betray its nonexistence. I spent a good few years in this sort of conundrum of lying to myself- telling myself again and again that I wanted to die. It is poetic, in a way; I only needed to give up on life to gain it again. If one desires happiness, they will find none. One must revise their unrealistic expectations and live for death.
A Christian merely larps until he proves that his faith prevails unto the end. Mishima larped until he proved his words with a splash of blood. The meaning of one's life only becomes true when it is crystallized by death. I was a cringe larper then and I am a cringe larper now. I will always be a larper, perhaps, until the day of my death. As it is with everyone.

Meaning is right in front of your eyes every waking moment. You are making a choice, either conscious or unconscious, to deny it. This is a foolish decision that you have the power- and, primarily, love - to correct. I know you have it in you, anon.

I've been meaning to read On the Nature of Things and the fact that my post reminded you of Lucretius (not that I am claiming any sort of skill, for I am an open book of stupidity (which thought I understand to be irrational and equally stupid as I am, perhapsingly more so)) has driven me to get to reading it.

In what way? I strive to be open and honest in my discussions here. If you are going to post short knee-jerk responses there is little to he had. If you are going to straw-man my position with the usual positions, there will be nothing gained by either of us. But, in the small chance that you are honestly interested, id be willing to discuss anything with you.

I do not use the word good, as that changes depending on where you fall on the left/right political spectrum.

Instead I think it is the only way in which the standard family can be propagated and made to meaningfully increase in both quantity and quality. Tied to this is i think it is also the only way in which white europeans, or whatever term you wish to use for the race or ethnic group i belong to, can be prevented from being made a minority or erased entirely. It is the closest we can come to realpolitik. I do not think democracy, in any form, can accomplish what i want to see. Nor do i think democracy can be sustainable for land, people or morality.
