someone on 4chan found my corncob anime shrine that i made 8 years ago. No idea how anon found it today. I made it as a joke to show a friend because we were talking about how king of the hill and cormac mccarthy were like the antithesis to anime

he keked and then we immediately forgot about it and moved on with our lives

i didn't know that my unfinished corncob shrine is immortalized on the internet forever. wow some people even reblogged my shit.

i thought it was deleted. well i realized i still have access to it.

I don't seem to be able to remember my overarching goals and priorities in the face of engrossing perceptual stimuli.
I need to get out of this town, but keep quitting jobs because I keep pigeonholing myself as the guy that works hard but doesn't say much. I hate it because I'm just stuck in my head all day doing shit work and having nobody to relieve the weight of drudgery with light conversation because I'm always placed at the periphery of whatever the operation. My brain cannibalizes itself when I'm stuck doing humiliating drudgery by myself and my discontent builds until I get deranged and quit. Then I panic because I don't have a job and take another shitty job and the cycle begins anew. I know many third worlders would kill for these kinds of opportunities, but I can't implement that framing when it matters. It's simply insane how many opportunities I've squandered.
And what's worse is that all the time I've spent trying to find ways to get shit jobs I don't want to do could have been spent developing a skill or building my own business so I don't have to do these shit jobs in the first place.
Fuck, maybe I should just be a vagrant drifter. I guess I'm never going to change if I don't have the immediate threat of death from dehydration, hunger, exhaustion, or exposure looming right over my head.
My unhealthy health obsession has derailed my life to the point where dying doesn't even sound that bad because of how little I have going for me, so it might not be a bad idea.
I have enough money for an amtrak ticket and maybe a sleeping bag and a tarp.
I mean, if I can't even survive how was I ever going to make it anyway?

At noon or just after

Again shadows look sharp under a white sky,
The sun 90% attenuated by the meter,

A mellow orange on the ground,
The air still so neutral everywhere that

It feels indoors as it looks outdoors.
A strange arrangement.

Just before 7 it looks like 3.5K Kelvin reigns everywhere,
The air absolutely still and about 77,

Paradise atmosphere.

Ah, 'twas a most curious day indeed, on this merry old weekend morn - For the boys did prepare to perform their sacred task, their vital duty to be born. To plant their seeds within the wombs of girls, and watch as young ones sprout and curls. Aye, the boys did boast their tools both rare and strange, their Dickies gargantuan in size for ages too young to range. Their skills so honed upon the PlayStation scene, their thumbs, agile like snakes slither green. They practiced well throughout the morning light, erecting phalluses toward the screen with might. When lunchtime drew its final breath, their appetites, unquenched as yet, did stretch to find some meat, some cheese, some bread to stuff the hole where hunger fed. And thus, with bellies full, did Nurse Linda call and Jane beside her too, inviting all four youthful souls to draw near, to hearken to a plan so bold and true. Together hand in hand, the group did tread across the hallway floor, through doors that opened wide, leading straight onto the mattress shore. Each nurse did claim her charge with care and skill, applying hands to crotch, with fingers small and fine, to stimulate the boys until their cocks began to twine. Two hours passed beneath their touch, the boys' attentions strayed beyond console smash, as naught else mattered quite so much aside from feeling nurse's firm caress... save perhaps their own prodigious Dickies pressing onward past her palm and knuckle, swelling fast as cannonballs in battle storm. Steam rose as shorts grew sodden and tight, dampened by pre-cum nectar droplets shimmering bright. With balls restrained, engorged and heavy, bulged, they squirmed and struggled free to burst forth from underwear confinement. Then came the moment of truth, the moment they feared and yearned to reach; they mounted the nurses' loins, their bodies pressed, their spirits steeped in passion's deepest crease. As penetration took its course, their dicks did gush forth streams of jizz galore, yet held back in check, to spare their strength for future score. Some thirty minutes further down the path, the pace increased, their movements wrought with urgency and passion's lust. The girls did clutch the boys close to their bosoms round, whispering sweet encouragements to fill their ears profound. At length the nurses' eyes rolled back, their voices crescendoed in rapture's symphony, and thus it happened -- 'tis no myth, nor fancy tale -- the boys ejaculated copiously, an ocean of ejaculatory bale. Though holding back their seminal might did tax their mental and physical plight, they found solace and comfort, if only for a fleeting night. Thus ended their Saturday's labor of love, their baby batter saved above, awaiting fertilization's gentle clove.

I am really getting sick of getting evicted for reasons beyond my control.
Old owner died of a brain tumor, his oldest son was made the controller of the trust that the property is apart of, so his first move is to evict everyone so he can liquidate all the properties within the trust.
Yay!

Last place I was standing changed owners and evicted so they could straight up destroy the room I was staying in so they could insure the building next door.

Meanwhile I am totally priced out of even thinking about buying real estate. I have no choice but to just take this constant uncertainty and insecurity.

Thanks anons; your advice rings true. Though at least in my case I think it's not so much planning ahead as it deciding on what to do and sticking to that decision, even if it's not explicitly planned out ahead of time. I've been living under the assumption that I need to wait for some emotional drive to give me directions on what to do; that may work for some people, but I have such a weak emotional life that it doesn't work for me at all.

Every interaction has a subcurrent: “Gain the maximal information from this person without getting caught.” Gathering information is a game that is played constantly and without end. I can win rounds, but can’t win the game itself. I have to keep playing whether it is conscious or unconscious. It’s similar to a card game. I am trying to convince the other player to show their cards to me while showing as few of mine as possible. Most people do not bury cards deep nor have a full deck. My deck is whatever I want it to be for the situation. I can be anything, I can draw any cards to convince you to show yours.

This leads to interesting situations where I am becoming different people to different people. It’d be amusing to have those who have seen different faces interact with me while they’re together. I am sure I’d come up with yet another face to deal with this interaction.

Any tips on how to become less impulsive?
I want to slow my life down so that I could begin to enjoy it. Let me explain:
My entire life I have never enjoyed anything, I tried many different activities, hobbies, both with friends and solo and I always end up abandoning it and just naturally drifting back into my room, in front of the screen, reading shit on 4chan or watching something on Youtube. It's my default state, I don't even think about it.
Sometime ago I was reading a post by some anon who mentioned that everything in his life is like a cold shower - he just takes a deep breath, goes in and does it with the mindset of "let's just get it over with", gets out and then moves onto the next cold shower or drifts back into his room and wastes his life in front of a screen. I identified with that post greatly and wanted to ask for more but he never replied.
Those of you who enjoy things, what do you think about when you're doing them?

It has literally nothing to do with gentrification and everything to do with asset inflation.

Property values raise faster then my ability to earn or save. Mostly because everything else is too risky for long term investments now so it gets dumped into real estate for a chance of making a future return that beats inflation.

I can't stand by myself in isolation of the outside world. Much of my security in myself and my identity is derived from the functions I perform in the world, and if it isn't elitist or "better" than other people's I'll resign altogether.

Same here. I think that we're approaching the times that the only way to have your own property is to be born into extremely rich family or inherit from parents. If you dont have any of this, good luck renting and paying your money to a schmuck whos luckier than you.

Depends on where you want your property - in a big city just forget about it. But if it's a small town or some place 30-45 minutes away from a big city, you may still find affordable property. If you can work remotely or just don't mind the long commute, you will still be able to own something. At least until your enemies with a monopoly on violence will decide to increase taxes.

Sometimes I recognize, as an impersonal, dispassionate oberserver of my own life, facets of increasingly cruel and macabre comedy. It's hysterical when the things that I secretly vy for and desire appear randomly in the lives of my friends and acquaintances. To contrast how attaintable these trifles seemingly are, with my incomprehensible, absurd, inability to reach them.
My gut reaction to these synchronisities, is always a surge of envy. I can't help it. I curb it within seconds. And then there's only emptiness, and a sour taste of defeat. There's a plethora of affirmations and litanies to repeat. About how I need to be grateful for what I have. About how insecurity is manageable, and how happiness is a choice. About mindsets and self limiting beliefs. Words of conviction are only good to quell normal physiological reactions for a time. Sophisticated dissonance with the truth (which always bothers, always). Acceptance has no feel attached to it. What? Relief?

This part of my life is probably an exercise in accomodating humility. In taming certain qualities, not letting them grow past the threshold of moderation. I know I'm impulsive. I drifted once to a kiosk (when I had money to piss away) and bought a display knife. The sharpest thing I'd owned. Couldn't use it. I have a fundamental contempt for those who scissor their wrists with decorative scars without mustering enough insidious intent to slash deep enough to kill. I still bought it. And fiddled with it every evening. What was the fucking point.

Jobs (especially the ones for you smart lit types) are still in cities. It's what drives up the demand for housing of course.
Telework is being rolled back, even places that had "permanent" telework agreements are reneging on them now. Possibly from pressure from their other billionaire buddies that own the real estate in the city. Effectively everything that happens externally (pandemic, supply line, etc.) gives the people in power a chance to make a move. When everything is static they increase wealth and power slowly. When they have an excuse to make a change they do, and it's always in the direction of more wealth and power.

His kingdom was renowned far and wide for its flourishing chicken farms and mouthwatering cuisine.
King Tendie decided to organize a grand festival, a celebration of flavors and friendly competition. He invited neighboring kingdoms to participate in the Great Chickentopia Cook-Off, where talented chefs from all realms showcased their culinary skills in preparing the most tantalizing chicken dishes. The air was filled with delicious aromas, and the kingdom buzzed with excitement and anticipation.

During the festival, King Tendie, his golden crown shining brilliantly, stood before the gathered crowd. He spoke passionately about the importance of embracing diversity and cherishing the unique qualities that each kingdom brought to the table. King Tendie declared that Chickentopia would forever be a kingdom of open doors, warm hearts, and delectable cuisine, where the talents of chefs from all walks of life would be celebrated.

As the festival continued, the joyous atmosphere filled the kingdom with laughter, music, and the clinking of utensils. Visitors from far and wide reveled in the lively competition, eagerly sampling the innovative and mouthwatering chicken creations. The festival became a symbol of unity, where kingdoms set aside their differences and came together to appreciate the shared love for gastronomic delights.

As time went on, the legacy of King Tendie and his festival of flavors spread throughout the land. Chickentopia became a renowned culinary hub, drawing food enthusiasts from all corners of the realm to savor the delectable dishes and experience the warmth and hospitality of the kingdom. King Tendie's reign stood as a testament to the power of unity, diversity, and the joy that comes from sharing a good meal.

And so, my friend, the kingdom of Chickentopia thrived under the wise and benevolent rule of King Tendie. With his golden crown atop his head, he left a lasting legacy of unity, friendship, and mouthwatering delights. It was a story that would be told for generations, reminding all who heard it of the extraordinary power of coming together over a shared love for the finest chicken dishes.

That's not really the current problem but I wish you luck. Pharma plays a part, but basic diagnostics is a more fundamental concern. There was a period of significant medical advances from about 1920-70 where the majority of antibiotics, essential vitamins and minerals, chemotherapy, blood testing, surgery, disease classification and everything that made medicine modern advanced. A doctor from that period would extend your life span more than healthy living, which is why most faith healing religions sprung up either side of those advances. Life expectancies in populations with access to current modern medicine should not mirror life expectancies in populations with access to doctors practicing Victorian era medicine, before those basic discoveries of the 1880s-1980s. It's not all pharma, because the gatekeeping function of a doctor should be able to tell if the medicine is mountebank snake oil through basic empiricism past 1950 certainly. Even with pandemics and mass overprescribing of opiates, the other interim discoveries since the Victorian age should weigh against the life expectancy decline more heavily.

Why not eliminate schooling between age 12-16? It’s biologically + psychologically too turbulent a time to be cooped up inside, made to sit all the time. During these years, kids would live communally — doing some work, anyway being physically active, in the countryside; learning about sex — free of their parents. Those four ‘missing’ years of school could be added on, at a much later age. At, say, age 50-54 everyone would have to go back to school. (One could get a deferment for a few years, in special cases, if one was in a special work or creative project that couldn’t be broken off.) In this 50-54 schooling, have strong pressure to learn a new job or profession — plus liberal arts stuff, general science (ecology, biology), and language skills.

This simple change in the age specificity of schooling would a) reduce adolescent discontent, anomie, boredom, neurosis; b) radically modify the almost inevitable process by which people at 50 are psychologically and intellectually ossified — have become increasingly conservative, politically — and retrograde in their tastes (Neil Simon plays, etc.)

There would no longer be one huge generation gap (war), between the young and the not young — but 5 or 6 generation gaps, each much less severe.

After all, since most people from now on are going to live to be 70, 75, 80, why should all their schooling be bunched together in the first 1/3 or 1/4 of their lives — so that it’s downhill all the way

Early schooling — age 6-12 — would be intensive language skills, basic science, civics, the arts.

Told my med school friend about by practically non-existent episodic memory. At the time, I wasn't equipped with the right jargon to describe what was missing. If anything was missing. Vague allusions to the impenetrable facade blocking me from images from a mere 4, 5, 6 years ago.

Unnerving. Of course, my friend dismisses my concern. Knows I'm a hypochondriac with a penchant for indulging my frivolous little research whims. Turns out it IS a condition. It IS. Severely deficient autobiographical memory.

There's plenty to disprove that "diagnosis". Like the fact that I have an impeccable inner eye. I can rotate the object at will. I can conceive it in different locations, places, shapes, colors. Leave me to it and I'll fabricate a fun little scenario with it. My imagination is powerful and robust. That's not the point. But my sense of self is fractured. I can't remember who I was from a few years ago. Some people talk about their childhood dreams, their past aspirations, their role models. I can't remember anything. It seems to me almost like I had none of those things. Like I had no past. It's not sensible, but I have a terrible feeling of being rooted in the now. Like I was shat into the world right this instant.

I don't drink. Or smoke. Or overeat. I don't indulge in any inclandestine activity. I don't even consume short format content anymore. I don't miss people. Sure when I register my disconnect with the world, I get overwhelmed with a deep longing for an abstraction of human contact. But I've never missed anything concrete. Like someone's touch, or embrace. Someone's features, and their voice. Someone in a particular shared setting. The emotion's been decoupled from the mental image. The mental image desintegrated.

Sometimes I wonder if over-exposure to literature is at the root of my emotional shallowness and dishonesty. If being equipped with the vernacular to express this unusualness of existence and acknowledge it is what had brought it to the surface in the first place. I do behave and emote very appropriately in context. But in hindsight, I am so detached from my own self, I start to wonder if i truly occupy this body or if I'm simply going through the motions.

As a midnight snack, I ate a peach before bed, and kept the seed inside my pajama pocket for good dreams, until one drunken night, I pissed my pants, and woke up to a tree grown completely around my crotch, its roots entangled around my legs and ass, the weight of its mighty trunk pinning my waist against the mattress. I looked up at where it broke through the roof, a family of birds had found refuge and housed themselves within the hollowed heart its base. Further still, the light beams scattered through the interlace of branches, along the blossomed buds of silver, were actual fruit. I struggled to reach for my reading glasses, doubting what I was seeing. They all looked like me. My head in rows. My cherub cheeks, my childhood scar above my lip. Freckles from the hottest summer in years. My shaved head from the lice epidemic. Down there my soul patch. And above, the uncanny wrinkles in the furrows of my brow, like layers of soft-served lava. I peer onward, but come to a realization as the warts appear, the prolonged toll of cigarettes and gravity, as my bones shrink and my face takes on the quality of a plastic bag. My stomach churns as the fruits dwindle in number, succumbing to the exponential rot of time, until at the very peak lies nothing but a single one. A decayed skull, my skull, carved from that dark pitted center, littered with red ants swarming in legions, salvaging what remains of that withered shape. I shook my wife awake. She shrugged me off, softly laughing, "Morning wood again?"

I wouldn't equate imagination with memory, sure they're interlinked, but storage and recall are entire processes of the brain that can have issues, and what it sounds like is you're probably suffering from former or current neurochemical problems brought on by depression, poor diet/rest, unfulfillment, lack of stimulus, etc. (don't stress though these are NOT uncommon problems). But to be frank, it sounds corny of you to be gloating over being able to simply imagine things lol (though it is a flex on those with aphantasia). I would prescribe more lived-in experiences, mindfulness, more sunlight, some b-vitamins, zinc, white fish, nuts, some minor carbs, moderate exercise or just long walks, clean air, for a few weeks to see if you improve.

Pual was a short squat man with rough hands and a sour face. You could find him polishing his bar or smoking from his pipe some say he got it from a merchant others a friend regardless everyone knew when he was there by the smell of that pipe and what an awful smell it was. He could be rash and rude and a bit of a misanthrope but behind his bar he came alive. People would come from all across the world and share stories and songs and ideas there wasn't much for Pual in this life but things he heard and thought about brought him comfort. There's not much else to say about Paul his story hasn't ended yet. I hope one day he can step out of that bar and see the world and people he loves so much.

I think I had the single-handedly worst month of my life 2 months ago. Got kicked out of engineering school, my gf left me for her ex, didn't see a reason to go on much longer.
I felt as if I was just doing stuff for the sake of it, sort of like there was no real reason to do anything I did, just going through the motions. I also have had issues with finding self worth my whole life, and this just amped it up to the next level. I was never a guy that had suicidal thoughts but I realize I was just depressive and probably really miserable to be around during this time.

All of what happened to me is my own fault. Having said that, I'm trying to get back with a new found purpose. Realizing what I've lost, I gained a new found appreciation and a disdain for my past self for not taking advantage of the opportunities I had. I have a shot at making it back into my old school and i don't want to fuck it up.

Overall this is good world building but this step has unforeseen consequences. Teenagers are very political and moral, and need parents to rebel against. Its turbulence has a point, so they learn compromises and boundaries for themselves, hopefully against a backdrop of a united front of authority figures they love and a more turbulent and less unified peer group they're still forming opinions about. They need it for mate selection at the end of those years and for childrearing. They're going to work out how to have some form of sex around sixteen without any help, it's whether they work out if the social and personal consequences of their independent opinions and affiliations before that which matters, and that is much easier with some authoritarian pushback.

Although I've enjoyed most of these movies most of them are still disposal. I feel like I've wasted my time. In particular there's one film I saw that is so good everything else feels like a disappointment in comparison.

Would like someone to recommend me some books/articles or whatever that pertain to what I am talking about.

I realised that so many customs we have in our culture are very arbitrary and we only follow them simply 'because'. For example, it is a custom when marrying someone to buy and use an engagement ring and then a wedding ring once married. But you only really need one ring for this, why do you need two? And why does the ring have to be expensive when you could just buy a $30 ring? Maybe it is my autism, maybe not. I looked online about stuff like this and some article said that it is tradition to spend two months salary on your rings - who started this rule, the ring seller? What does an expensive ring even accomplish over some cheap ring that simply signals that you are married?

This got me thinking about many of our customs but I came to the conclusion that only so few of these little customs can I as an individual choose not to follow with little blowback. If I were to get married, I would rather just have one ring and it not be expensive, but since it is a marriage, my not going with the two-ring-tradition is heavily dependant on whom I am marrying and if they feel the same way that I do. If she said she wants two rings and she refuses to see my point or follow my logic then the path of least resistance is to just buy two rings and the custom/tradition continues. This is why many customs we think are excessive or pointless can stay around for such a long time, someone who doesn't want to follow the custom may still do it because everyone else does and its the path of least resistance.

A better example could be how men, but not women, are supposed to remove their hats from their heads when entering a funeral service. People will tell you it is disrespectful for a man to not remove his hat... but why is it disrespectful? "It just is", they will say. But they only think it is disrespectful because they were raised and taught it was, just as their parents were, and so on and so on. This custom started somewhere, and people before it didn't take off their hats because it wasn't arbitrarily considered disrespectful yet. But even if you wanted to change things and not take off your hat as a man, the positives of not taking your hat off is that you just don't have to raise your arm up. This positive is outweighed by the negative of everyone calling you disrespectful and having a lower opinion of you even though you know it shouldn't matter. So you go on with the path of least resistance and just take your hat off anyway. And when you have children you will tell them it is disrespectful to not take off their hats, not because it is actually tangibly disrespectful but because you don't want your child to become an outcast. And so continues the custom, forever. Because on an individual level no one will benefit from not following the custom.

I just realized something that should probably be obvious, but was nonetheless a sort of epiphany for me, namely that the reason why it is completely impossible to discuss the ideology of transgenderism in good faith with trannies (and I mean in good faith, with genuine curiosity, not just trolling them) is that they are almost all autistic and beholden to autistic black and white thinking, and hence want you executed if you fail to 100% agree with them before you even know what their positions are.

It all just sort of clicked for me. A lot of people have noted the religious fervor and zealotry that surrounds trans ideology, but I think that is mistaken - it's just autism. Either it is mistaken, or, perhaps equally likely, instead of becoming trans, the autists of previous times would go into scholastic philosophy, and would hence be the authorities on religious thought back then (writing it out, I now consider this extremely likely).

Tried that new limited edition coca-cola today.
Apparently it's a league of legends tie in. Which is a game that never appealed to me and when I watch gameplay of it I have no fucking clue what I am even looking at despite playing games since before I could properly run or read.
Anyway it said on the label that it was xp flavored. I didn't really know what that was supposed to mean but I was curious about a new flavor of cola so I gave it a try.
I was completely shocked. It somehow tastes exactly how I always subconsciously imagined xp tasting if xp had a taste. Like a purplish bluish kind of flavor, but mixed with cola in a pleasant way, and the bubbles complemented it like the chime of getting xp in most games.

I might get a 6 pack of it when I next grill. It's pretty good.

Something should also be said about the meme that they are all interested in programming, video games and video game inspired music/aesthetic (huge with zoomers). This is part of a larger discussion but Ian McGilchrist makes an argument in his book that the world of the left brain can be understood as a virtual world or the map of reality with strict demarcated rules and boundaries aka 'black and white thinking'. This is opposed to the right brain which navigates reality with much more ease and appreciation for new information and the immense complexity of reality. The more you study this distinction between left/right brain thinking the more it becomes obvious that much of the mental illness we see today is a offshoot of a largely left brain dominated world view. Think of all the tenants of the modern paradigm and of a populace so historically ill informed along with a system of information that feeds back on their worst emotions and can you see the ,('autistic') hell Zoomers have been placed in.

Is there a better place than 4chan? I am finally tired of every other post being a baseless assertion paired with a triumphant victory lap. Suppose I can just keep busy with old books.

Just move back in with parents. If you’re a woman, it’s no problem. If you’re a man, it will suck if you’re over 30 but isn’t that big of a deal if it’s for a few years at most.

Would you get a really high strung corporate NPC job that took up your entire life and made you someone else’s bitch if it meant you could make a lot of money for your family (I.e. buy your mom a house, set up your kids for life, etc.)

I personally couldn't do it, but my brother had no problem. It's not really NPC work as it requires a good amount of creative problem solving, but the corporate social environment demands a high level of commitment to NPC opinions and that fear of being put into the outgroup is always floating in their minds.

Virtually no self esteem. Alone with my thoughts. Incoherent. Volatile. Insensible. More feeling than thoughts really. Heart burns. Can barely draw in breath. No agency. Disconnected, uprooted from community. Can still observe. Not fair. Spurs nothing but envy. The highlight of my day was breakfast. Might as well go back to sleep.

The hemisphere pill packs a lot of explanatory power. The Master and His Emissary and The Matter With Things should be required reading in the West.

It's not really backed by looking at brains, but the theory overall is good once you don't actually make out that it correlates to either hemisphere. It's a bit of a thing in neuroscience that most scans are going to be from white, western, educated people, and lots of things related to the nervous system in general will be impacted by your culture. For example, most westernised people will have trouble with the arrows on a line optical illusion where two lines of the same length appear in western eyes to be two different lengths. That trick of the eye doesn't work if you weren't raised around carpented corners and in buildings which have strong right angles, so lots of African tribal people just think you're weird for trying to say the lines are different lengths. Your brain is built by environment, language, culture, education, and it doesn't reside in one side of the brain, but rather branches into your spinal and optic nerves and beyond, informing the development of other structures along the way.

Dissonance between too much introspection and a pathetically sensitive countenance.
I’m self aware enough to know my flaws, where I went wrong, and too weak (hiding behind some faux, unearned cynicism) to truly change.
I won and won and won and then failed once and couldn’t recover. I get a kick out self pity and self loathing. Overindulgent masochism if you will.

I lost my mind this morning. Every sound coming from outside was signifying something incredibly important.
>I must meditate on the sound that bird made to save the world
Then the rest of my brain woke up and I found my mind again.

So you couldn’t do it even if you’d realistically be making $500k+ within a decade? Think of what all that money could do for people you care about.
