Back when /lit/ was good and slow, mods used ignore it. The increase in demand for mods is weird because /lit/'s demand for mods was to bully them for being plebs. I don't know what led newer anons to believe that a 4chan mod was good at discerning anything about literature. Some of it could be Reddit but I think 4chan in general is less an otaku autism spasm than it once was. Except for [s4s] who can never do wrong.

Every bread starts with a retard,
That will be our frequent baker.
He lays out base of bait thick like lard,
Adds coom to spite the maker.
He rests a provoking dough,
And anons start fermenting:
Stench of soi from reddit brought,
Little bit of woman hating.
A bread is put to oven soon.
Anons exhaust their anger.
In each other seeking troons,
No insight gained, no answer.

It's a charade and you're dumb enough to buy it. The Kennedy family's involvement in America politics goes back to the 19th century, and they're involved in the media too. They are 100% a part of the blood-drinking pedo cabal and the fact that one of them figured out how to talk so a particular kind of dipshit supports him doesn't change that. And on top of that he's still taking money from the same big names that everyone else is.

Depending on the person this can be ignorance, or just explaining why they also like Jesus. A lot of the appeal for local religions when the Jesuits were spreading it was the death cult aspect. That's why the name for God in their translations is often shit like "sky father" or another death God. Voodoo is the same shit, old religion with a thin Catholic sheen.

On New Year's Eve, someone knocked on my front door. I wasn't waiting for anyone and planned to spend my night drinking and watching Seinfeld, so at first I didn't bother answering. The knocks then became louder-- "This could be an emergency," I thought. A woman, a child running from a kidnapper, or a neighbour in trouble. "Or fate itself," I smirked to myself. Instead, it was a man with tired eyes who greeted me. A trail of dust seemed to have followed him there, and I soon realized sand was everywhere on his cloak. Whatever it was he came knocking for, I inwardly prayed it wasn't a room tour.

The man noticed my inquiring gaze and responded with the coldest stare I had ever seen. "Hello," he said, "I come from the future. Your name is Anon Anon, and you have been praying for this moment your entire life." Well, my name was written on my mailbox, so I wasn't surprised he knew it, but it was true. Not now, and not exactly praying for it, but I had wanted this. "Now is the time. No, you shan't leave any messages behind. No, there is no room for refusal," I wasn't going to accept an offer probably involving hard drugs from a LARPing hobo, so I gave him a polite smile and tried to close the door-- only to see it bounce on his leather shoe-- "And no, I am not a hobo pretending to be a time-traveller."

Only one side of his face smiled as he looked up from his shoe and ended his declaration, the other side stuck in a numb, paralysed expression, "You are sending me to you, so have some respect, damn punk."

In the sudden silence, I could only hear George Constanza screaming as he got himself in another wacky situation. For a reason I couldn't pinpoint yet, a chill grew on my arms and lower back.

My boss is such a fucking faggot. He scheduled a meeting 30 minutes before he had to go somewhere, then the next day (so today), at 12, changed the time to 2:30 without me knowing. Then he gets mad at me for his inability to plan his time properly since he had two fucking days to sort this shit out. Thank God I barely listen to that inchoate cunt.

Everyday I am thankful for all the friends and family in my life (so really my mom and my sisters since my dad is very like the aforementioned professor-type). I just need a female lover to really pour my heart out to. I can't pretend to be indifferent to all the retards in my life for much longer, like my dad or my boss or all the jackasses at church that all act like women instead of men.

I've never felt it till now, but the smile of a woman you love can make everything alright.

Probably, but at least if I find a woman I can genuinely love as a friend and as a lover more importantly who I can live with and start a family with, I can forget about the stupid assholes in my life and instead focus on the her and the other good things in life. I don't have to spill my heart so much as I need the reprieve from the constant faggotry of this world. I'm don't give a shit about anyone but those people that are genuine friends to me in one way or another and that's that. Life is too short to give a shit about people you only interact with to pay the bills and make a career, when you only do those things for your own sake and the sake of those that love you. I will never get workaholics and their mentally broken mindset.

That is such a strange way of thinking. Kenji Eno was a big boy for most of his life and he managed to get a lot of shit done in games programming/design before he passed in 2011 (he even managed to lose the weight by then and even before that he even found a wife and got married). The only thing holding yourself back is you. The past is gone and done for and only you are accountable for your own actions to make your life better. If people judged you in the past for being fat and ignored everything you had to say because of it, that's their loss and it's good they fucked off to boot. Stop letting people's judgements of you affect your ability to fix your life. You are only harming yourself in the long run.

I spend so much of my time and energy on religious and philosophical study, trying to find an answer to higher questions I guess. But I'm kind of getting upset with it, isn't it pointless, there's a million smart niggas who died with some conviction or another and what difference does it make.
I want to just go a level lower in consciousness and just focus on actually living well, I don't mean hedonism, I mean just doing my best to be a good person for my friends and family. Maybe I've learnt enough, and besides, the basic sense of morals my family gave me seem to be good enough.
But for some reason I'm not really excited about normal life, and I find joy in reading existential philosophy and giving myself a brain aneurism, it's just stupid, I'm not going to make any breakthroughs, I have an endless amount of top level thinkers to study first.
Maybe I just need a break.

Take the Tolstoy pill and simply live for what is directly in your life; the well being of your soul and spirit, love for your family, your community etc.

Everything else is just escapism or futile waste, and ultimately if making some difference in the world is so important to you, living this way is probably the best contribution you can make anyway

My manifesto is this: pleasure is an innate good unto itself, pain is an innate evil unto itself, this implies that it is a moral imperative to maximize net pleasure, wherever or by whatever it is experienced, and that the ultimate way to achieve this end, that swamps all others by sheer magnitude, is to convert as much of the universe as possible into minds designed to experience as much pleasure as possible for as long as possible. I know plenty of people will object to this (primarily for what I term "aesthetic objections," i.e. objection based on a state of being being objectionable to contemplate, rather than being objectionable to actually exist within), and I will eventually get into more detail to rigorously justify these claims (the main thrust of which will be showing how pleasure, by being experienced as good in the most direct, subjective sense possible, bridges Hume's is-ought gap, and therefore serves as the only foundation of morality demanding its own maximization, as opposed to other values which are only valued inasmuch as they produce some unique form of pleasure in their contemplation), but I'm lazy and this is what I have for now. Anyone who responds with the dingy pleasure cubes comic (which is exactly what I meant by "aesthetic objections") will have to deal with being a living cliche.

If the creators of western civilization are not to be honored, than nobody should have the right to their creation.

Why was the Milan Cathedral carved by hammer and chisel? Why did Jacques Cartier map the St Lawrence? Why did Galileo magnify light to observe the stars? Why did Locke lay down the principles of liberalism? Why did Mozart grace crowds with his melodies? Why did Britain fight to end slavery everywhere? Why did the founding fathers want men more armed than any state? Why did the discovery of bacteria lead to the antibiotic? Why did the Salvation Army bring gifts to the downtrodden around the world? Why did the Wright Brothers try to make men fly? Based on the accounts of the men themselves, they truly sought to make a better world for the next generations. Not even one would have wanted their life's work to be in the service of creating a technological prison, weaponized to breed a rootless, atomized, uncultured, servile cattle-race who exist to uphold the pleasure and power of an evil few.

If the time to reclaim this creation had passed, and the last western man was faced with the choice of either continuing to uphold its systems in service of its usurpers, or to hasten its destruction, the latter would be preferable. Before all classic architecture can be replaced with hideous rectangles containing amazon warehouses or abortion clinics, before all of its creator blood is erased, before all art can be reduced to harsh noises and flashing colors, before every word and step and thought can be monitored, before ones wealth can be erased in a single click, before the monsters can discover how to live forever, civilization ought to end. If the ringleaders wish to invert its intentions, and the invaders seek little more than free gifts or revenge, and its pleasures distract the sons from their duty, it ought to end.

A layer of moss and rust over the dreams of the past is a more dignified end than to have their dreams twisted to serve monsters.

Even though I picked the wrong career, I think I would feel better about it if it just wasn’t a complete disaster. I would feel better if I had worked at a reputable company in a bigger city and had even moderate success with it. Instead, everything was kind of amateur and loser-ish and that’s what bothers me about it the most. Not that I want one, but I’ve never even had like a typical big city corporate job.

Is it normal to still be fond of the girl you lost your V to? 15+ years on I still get excited when I see her or know that she is going to be at a mutual event.

Im married but when I see her and she greets me with a kiss on the cheek or I talk to her for a bit it feels like I have this butterfly feeling or like we have this giant secret we low key acknowledge. It honestly feels like I'm in love with her temporarily for that night or whatever but then once I go home I completely forget about her until next time

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is a fucked up movie. Obviously, since it's a Marvel movie they need to undercut every moment of gravity or sincerity with a quip, but this movie is so schizophrenic how it switches between rated PG kids movie to NC-17 body-horror gore and psychological trauma. The Warlock guy casually incarnates a prisoner and you see his skeleton and melted flesh, one of the little furry sidekicks even pisses himself out of fear at one point during a genocide. Crazy stuff.

And with her goodbye, the call ended. And when the call ended, so did my hope for a better future. But it was only after
giving up for good that my soul shattered.

I went to bed a few months after I started developing dark thoughts and entered a lifelike dream. Wind blew from nowhere. I looked down, only to witness my hands turning into sand. I knew then I had lost something of great value : something that wasn't meant to be lost and as such couldn't be recovered. In the following years, I had contracted myopia and accumulated stress scars and wrinkles. I did not care about aging. I could not see further than a single meter in the light, nor orient myself in the dark as well as I could before all of this. It had to be divine punishment, I thought. My hands became sand, for I was not meant to touch or influence the life of anyone. I was blinded, for I was a danger to anyone willing to gaze into my soulless husk.

I had to be cursed, I realized, for I was the cause of the departure of everything I ever loved. I looked around my bedroom, and saw none of the photos my old highschool friends would stick on their walls. In my closet, I saw nothing but cheap clothes and old coats. I had not decorated anything in my apartment, and had nothing of value. Because I did not care. Because I only lived to survive. Because nothing was worth living for. Not anymore.

I had emotions, but I would not cry. I liked people, but I would not love. Everything was muted so deeply that I was not even sad.

In a last-ditch effort to feel something, anything, I looked at the empty husk in the mirror, and it gazed back. The man inside the mirror had a thousand-yard stare, and sensing nothing alive or worth mentioning inside, I looked away.

In light and atmosphere this cool yet not the least bit cold
The yellow double cosmos look impossibly good.

The yellows eerily pure as nothing
Of mere technique, nothing readily poured

Into gold manikins, and mighty all the way through--
Charm of no standard but itself

Or comedy a little too far out there to map, like nature's
Own strangely organized montage.

Suppose it's 62 degrees and an almost undetectable mist is falling
While you're out there shirtless as a slender faun

Where violent animals are more of myth
And you've never seen a bear,

A vicious or a subtle demagogue except on screens,
Born and live that far West in every sense

Of metaphor, completely in
In your quiet element.

I haven't felt very real in some time. Even when looking at a relative I sometimes feel like I'm staring at a stranger that I'm supposed to know. I don't know when was it that I lost my handle on life. My past has grown so distant that it just feels like a list of facts of the husk I inhabit instead of my own cherished and dreaded memories.

I take rather a lot of pleasure in the everyday present, and regard my surviving relatives more or less according to their capacity to do so. Only two of my four siblings survive, but, if I'm honest, I don't like or trust any of them as much as a certain brother-in-law who happens to be highly successful in business, as well as at life. I've known him for almost 40 years, and even I'm kind of an asshole compared to him, never mind my bitch sisters who were never good at conversation or finance--despite working in the industry. As for the past, that usually seems almost near to me as the present, and it's sometimes hard for me to reconcile the way I love people the way they were, with what they've become.

1900 calories per day and drink some water. you don't even need to execise at all and this will have you losing 1-2lbs per week. of course exercise is preferable if you want to be genuinely healthy rather than just thinner but still out of shape, but yeah. calories are all that matter at the beginning if you actually want to try. no need to worry about working out at the gym or counting macronutrients or whatever the fuck. good luck

A few months ago I set a goal of writing a paragraph a day - just sitting down and putting words on a page. Since then I have probably written less than one hundred intentional words. I am realizing that I have some kind of mental block between conceptualization and actual writing. Once I begin writing, I am suddenly confronted with the limitations of my ability to not only concretize my thoughts (I'm not one hundred percent sure that is even a word) but evoke the abstract aesthetic fog in which they float in my brain. That last sentence probably made little to no sense. I think I might be better off making up new words when I am unable to aptly convey an idea.

I'm an idiot. Did't have a ton of experience with renting places. So I signed a lease at the first place I saw didn't realize it binds me to pay for a whole year.
I kind of assumed it's like the "terms of use" for applications where not reading it and hitting accept means nothing.
I found another place that's much cheaper and nicer, but now the only way to get out of the other lease is to find a subletter. Otherwise now I'm going to be paying rent for two places. Landlords really are some of the slimiest people.

There is no deceit in the desert and only the immaculate undulations of its dolomite sediments capitulate a once history of seabed beneath mesopelagic fauna twisting and streaking through the fathoms of an ancient saline atmosphere. A witness, the great eye marks with its gaze a tally of shale chalk under each ward in its domain, a reminder for creatures sifting through its precious and faded desolation that they are not alone in their unusual presence. A clutch of scores connote the incumbent habitants of the cacti who, drawn towards a limitless and centered magnetism, congregate erect and solid as a procession of pilgrims frozen in ecstatic rapture. Uncounted generations these acolytes have worshiped their heathen deity, forms directed by no earthly will towards a horizon perfect and opposing in its harmony of God and believer.
One figure alone in his movements wades through sandy debris of this mystical otherworld dressed plainly in a brown cloth habit, hands clasped and head down he trods in a steady tempo aside a burro burdened with a solitary canvas bag containing vital articles for their company. His face, unshaven and harshly reddened, betrays no emotion while the twirling over and under of his stubby phalanges suggest a vibrancy of thought no being in this corner of the world could muster to guess if they possessed the will or the reason to wonder. If you asked him, he would relay in a biblical passage of Romans or John as only a mind educated by a lifetime of scripture and its recitation could recall to frame its challenges. His mission, as he believes it, is to find the small church intimated within a map among his belongings where he may begin to ply his trade, although he knows not whether it remains or has long since been razed by same elements which have likewise reduced his form.

Everything feels so pointless. Everyone is distracted by technology and addicted to the internet, and consuming shitting clips on youtube or other meme apps. There is a god or gods, but they don't speak to anyone. Everyone is equally non-the-wiser but everyone lies to each other pretending that they have revelations that no one else has. Lying is pointless in the end, and yet almost everyone you meet is a bold-faced liar. These days I like to sit out in nature and just observe, the beach is the best, but forests are also nice. Looking at birds seeing them interact and not care about any of the nonsense that humans are trapped by. There is no religion that has given more peace then simply sitting in nature and observing the ocean waves. I don't even know why I am writing this.

>I haven't felt very real in some time. Even when looking at a relative I sometimes feel like I'm staring at a stranger that I'm supposed to know.
I know that feeling well. When i introspect, i sometimes conclude I'm just an asshole, but it's not antipathy just an all encompassing indifference. When I took an edible for my 1st time, I remember during the trip having this realization that I'm actually just a heartless asshole unwilling to ever bare myself to another person, an empty shell of a human being afraid of everything like a child. There may have been some truth there or maybe just the drug speaking.
I do have feelings I just bury/repress mine for some reason. Maybe out of fear of the intensity of my own emotions.
I went through a very rough period in college, and came out of it with this sort of indifferent attitude towards life. I wasn't able to connect to people and developed this paranoid attitude believing people wished me the worst. So for me at least, I think that indifference masks a deep fear towards other people. An uncertantity as to who I can trust, so when I'm unsure who I can trust, I just opt to detach and not invest myself into anyone.
Towards myself I was and am detached because I've wasted so much of my life, have so many regrets, that it's easier not to think on it.
The feelings will resurface you just have to let them, though maybe it's better not to let them... They just need the right spark.
When I left my home and moved to a new state, the feelings I had for my parents came out now that I could no longer see them.

What makes some more averse to weebshit than others? Even the worst of weebshit, I've never thought it was any more cringe than so many other archetypes of cringe, but a lot of people act like it's the worst offender.

Meanwhile, I'm completely averse to all things gookshit. So what makes these differences in temperament?

Gonna skip on my new companies 10 year celebration with the excuse that I have the shits. In reality I've just been sleeping poorly and don't feel like talking with colleagues today.
There's a lot stuff to learn and paranoia that I'm working too little and too slowly just gets to me. I end up sleeping less and just feel drowsy which causes me to work even less.
Seems like I'll forever be on cycles of sleeplessness making my life worse. I've never been able to solve it for long.

The issue isn't with the interest, it's that political hobbyists view it shallowly and zealously as a team based sport. In such a way that they're merely trying to find an assurance that you stand on their side.
Once you've given all the proper symbols of in-group allegiance, it actually doesn't matter at all what you say.
They simply relish the thought of a total victory over the enemies which will finally save them from themselves. They are not wrong in their impulse only in the pretense. Though who is to say they're wrong in that pretense. Salvation stripped of any religiosity, the dream of emancipation from life's ills through the destruction of the enemy. And yet somehow the enemy is never destroyed, but that never seems to matter. We would just invent a new one. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves otherwise.
Politics is sport for tired frustrated people that hate themselves and want to find external objects to vent their frustration for their back pain and malfunctioning penis.
Somewhere between a religion and a sport, the worst aspects of both combined. The sanctimomiousness, preachiness, and hatred found in religion combined with the entertainment spectacle of a sport. Neither is it as fun as a sport, nor is it capable of the deep insight or charity of the world's religions.
Religion is also more open and creative in its hatred. A religion will happily ascribe all those outside it to the powers of the evil one. The enemy is otherworldly. To the political ideologue it is always simply and predictably "the other side". It lacks imagination. Political hatred is more banal and boring.
I guess that makes me some kind of pomo liberal. "heh the differences, the binaries actually aren't real at all, we should just be tolerant of everyone cause enemies don't actually exist and are just products of our particular group's perspective". That's so hecking deep. Hahaha as though we were capable of being from an outside perspective like I'm now pretending. But if we were would it be better? What would there be left to do?
Nigger-crackers cracking the heads of cracker-niggers while I finish my whopper and enjoy the spectacle.
I can't summom the energy to care. I do care but pretend not to to gain social points on /lit/ through the pretense of being above politics. To criticize is to try and be above, outside, while denouncing the desire to be above.
We desire to crush those that oppose us, to see an idol destroy completely and build anew. . People want blood but can't say that they do. To see the violence they're disallowed and political drama is only a means to giving a partial satisfaction that end.

Like a show that ends on a cliff-hanger but you never reach the cliff. All of politics is the desire to reach the cliff, the final end-point coupled to to reality that there is no end-point. It's not really about healthcare or guns or free speech, it's all just about imagining the final beheading of all your enemies (not for real || okay well maybe a little now and then || cause that would be le bad political extremism).
Political philosophy as a subject can be interesting if you strip away the tribal shit/purity testing, and simply consider abstractly the questions as to how society ought to be v.s the pragmatic constraints, given the limitations of human psychology and limited resources, of how it actually can be governed. All the rest is just slop.

My
trash heap. My communicative ability has deteriorated from worse to shit. Once I was merely an awkward nerd, today I am the deranged man with bloodshot eyes unshaven cooking beans by the side of the road.
Today I speak in vague repetitive utterances that serve to close the conversation as fast as possible. That is if I manage to make words come out at all. Sometimes the words run together like diarrhea: "okay" "yes that's perfect for me" "sounds good" "all good"
Like an actual npc spitting out the same five lines. Sometimes it breaks down when someone expects more from me, some genuine banter. And i suddenly unsure just continue to repeat the same set of lines, and now they are suspicious of this man of few words.
Everyday the virtual escape, that same familiar refresh, a tab and another tab, so much content all at once I hardly absorb any of it. To no purpose. And then the day is gone like the last.
I dream impotent dreams of revenge very rarely only when I can muster any emotion, once the coffee courses through me. When I do I make the doubtful promise that someday i will be rich and powerful and will make every single person. Who slightly wronged me suffer immensely. I zoom out and see from without a tiny man ranting internally to himself inside his cheap filthy used car, deluding himself with dreams of future omnipotence.
I wish i were the kind of carefree eccentric that murders without a second thought, not this petty insect alone riddled with self-doubt who must escape into idle dreams. Once again alone on my own design lacking all daring, all desire inhibited.
I'm no one. Just a series of immature mistakes leading to nothing.

Man's sexuality is enthralled to women's. It is a common pattern that arises du to the difference in relation to sexuality. A woman to a man is first of all is presented as an equal person, no amount of education and wisdom can repute this inherent flaw of feeling. And a woman's sexuality is her central aspect of the psyche. Because of it the desires and fascinations of a woman assert themselves over the feeble, shameful and almost humorous sexual desires of a man. It's almost a given that women associate sex with the whole idea of life and purpose, but the man ridicules his findings on love that isn't pure as base. There are good outcomes of it such as a limit to how far the man's sexuality can wander off from acceptable conduct with a woman he desires. But there are also bad, such as the inclination towards more and more depraved forms of sexuality dictated by the inherent feeling of inferiority in women and misinterpretation of the real qualities of genders a woman can't comprehend.

I'm a white guy but I grew up under Asian influences due to being in asia. So growing up food etiquette was extremely important since it's very easy to fuck up. Cut to my sister and her husband visiting and not only did they serve food for themselves first, they also proceeded to eat before we even had food on our own plates. I know it's a big nothingburger to lot of people but to me and my family this is comparable to leaving a turd in the toilet or saying "fuck you".

Forgot to add her husband is a slim-ish guy despite that he always has a habit of over stocking his plate. So if there's 2 people behind him and a spoonful of (insert dish here) left, instead of taking a third he'll just go for the full scoop. I have no fucking clue how people can operate with this kind of behavior but I guess it shows since neither of them lead exciting lives nor have many, if any, friends.

My mom's parents never had retirement accounts or savings because they were told such things were unnecessary. Tem percent of what they had went to their church, whether it was income, a gift, or simply found on the street. They were told if they had to choose between paying rent or buying food and paying their ten percent they should pay and God would provide. They worked themselves to the bone into their 80s to grow stuff in their garden to eat and preserve as emergency supplies. What was preserved ended up filling their basement and rotting. They were told to be prepared to use these supplies imminently in the late 80s. My grandfather turned 100 this year.
My parents also never had retirement accounts or savings until a few years ago. A humanities professor, my father bounced around from university to university, never landing tenure. My mother and father were always just barely able to pay rent, send all 5 children to school, and put food on the table, even if it meant going into debt. They also gave ten percent, no matter what.
My sister went on a mission in former Yugoslavia to preach the word. She paid thousands out of her own pocket for the opportunity, and spent nearly 2 years knocking on doors. My parents and grandparents supported her through gifts when needed, and she paid her ten percent on everything they gave her. In her area were baptized maybe 5 people over her time there, none of which consistently attended services afterwards.
My parents are one of the few members of their area branch of their church who still volunteer their time to clean the church building. They do it for free, as a gift, well into their 50s.
The church to which my whole family belongs has, by lower estimates, $107 billion in assets, not including land and property value - assets whose tax value it was fined $5 million for hiding earlier this year. It was founded by a conman who went on to force underage girls to marry him and then die in a violent shootout with a mob. My family has been involved in it since the early 1900s and has quite likely donated millions of dollars to it. It treats my aunt as a second-class citizen for being unmarried after her abusive husband divorced her. It tells members that if they do not give their ten percent they will be denied entry to the highest level of the afterlife. It suppresses sexual abuse perpetrated by members in order to keep its name out of the news. Its senior leaders have a secret rite, performed by invitation only, promising free entry to the highest afterlife despite any sins committed short of murder, offered only to the most well-connected members after decades of service.
I truly hope to live to see everything built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints torn down, with no stone left standing on another. I am barely scratching the surface. Generations of my family wasted their lives, their time, their money, their health, their sanity by supporting it.

Some of it's cultural.

I am alone always. I shall never feel content with the people I am around, and I fear I will die childless. The more friends I surround myself with, the more alienated I feel, as I begin to realise that, truly, nobody thinks or acts the way I do - not that I don't appreciate or enjoy the company of my friends, of course. I feel very few emotions, but the only ones I strongly feel (at least strongly enough to write poetry about) are negative, and yet I feel like I'm overall a pretty content person.

"Turn back time, Anon! Do it, and deceive the world!" Aleister screamed, his beard flying in the storm. The nigger army was already cutting deep in their ranks and Aleister gave him one last look before throwing a cleaver and running in the mass of darkies. Anon bit his lip and turned before anyone could see the tears forming in his eyes. As if responding to his emotions, a dark bottomless cyclone unraveled beneath his feet and let out a loud bellow. His feet were already searing and smoking, but he did not heed any pain and jumped in the Janny Pit. The walls that made up the reality of the world suddenly constricted around him like a snake, trying to deter him from leaving but failing miserably as something else pulled him towards the bottom. He hissed as he found himself falling to a snail's crawl into infinity.

While decades would pass in a flash in other myriad worlds, seconds only slowly ticked by in the time tunnel. "Fourty-five seconds back for one second in here..." Anon realized, "A worthy gamble, for I am doing all of this to prevent the destruction of my world. And taste mamma's bolognaise again," he silently added. Air did exist in this plane, but had combusted away just like the remains of his obliterated body. The first seconds away from the event horizon were the harshest but he thankfully had passed out due to pain right after jumping and he was only thinking in his soul projection.

He had time. And he would come back. But first, he could use this downtime to prepare his next plan.

the archetypal pattern of getting rich quick is to sell gilded rocks for the price of gold. So your goal is only to find the means to do so. In recent history that has meant creating a startup, MBS, house flipping, crypto, etc.

Somewhere in this world in some context, this is happening, your job is to find and ingratiate yourself within it.

Here's a hint - the people succeeding at this are simultaneously making a lot of money and they would appear no more intelligent than you are.

I've been reading more, less on social media. I've been eating great, no sneed oils and barely any sweets.
And I haven't even achieved the happiness I felt when I was watching the World Cup in tv while stoned and unemployed.
All that advice is cope. The only reason I made these changes was about the stigma attached to being unemployed and 'useless'.

The happiness doesn’t come from the actions but from the results and happiness is a false ambition anyway. What you really want is a purpose, something that is worthwhile. These things are just necessary pre-requisites for doing what is worthwhile and not the ends in themselves. The cause for confusion is nihilism. Self improvement for self improvement is nihilism. Self improvement for the purpose of what is worthwhile is meaningful.

Pleasure is a purpose I guess. It was what drove me before.
Now I can't really think of one. Career seems gay and getting having children I can do without all this improvement.
I am aimless at the moment and having these pleasures taken away from me just makes me think life itself isn't very much worth living.
Not that I'd ever kms, just that it's kinda boring and lame.

I’m 30 so I can sympathize with where you’re at and I can be honest and admit that I often feel the same way. But we have to be careful first of all not to dismiss things like career and family because those things deserve their proper respect even if we personally haven’t been able to find the right formulation and even if we suspect that they can’t be found in the right formulation today. That’s a dismissal of the specific and not the universal, so let’s not dismiss universally. Perhaps there is a formulation of career and family out there that is worthwhile. But also, I think we should be open minded in considering that it’s not true that it’s only those three possibilities. This is a literature board, right? History is filled with people who found their life’s purpose in literature, and not necessarily in literature as a career I should add. There are all sorts of arenas of life out there like this that, admittedly, might be made more difficult or diminished today, but which nonetheless still exist. We can’t just assume there are no ways of living that are worthwhile because there’s no possible way we can know that.

The issue in large part is money. I want to stop being a rentoid. I would like an actual house.
But to do that I have to slave away at work 5 days a week.
Which leaves my with just enough time to work out, do outside activities, read a little each day, do basic house chores and then do something I actually like for a few hours.
It's all so limiting. And to imagine either spending more time on career or coming home to a wife and kids..
I have worked 4 days a week before and it was very liberating. I'd be fine doing just that but it limits me financially.
None of the futures sound too thrilling to me. A big bag of money would solve all my problems I feel.

Nta.

I feel the same. I always felt the same but everything became much more intense ever since my ex left. Life just isn't the same. It's been years do I might grow old and die just like that and the thought isn't even terrifying. Everything is just so pointless now. I've worked hard because I wanted a family but now I don't even want to work anymore and how would I build a family on my own? It's suddenly all so pointless.
Surely the human experience should be something intense and fruitful, right? Yet nothing seems worth fighting for.

The Sun came out today after three serene days of clouds and passive rain.
It is no surprise that my heart feels light by the sudden transition from the steady cold wind that numbs the overwhelming senses to the warming sun that makes the blood flow again.

The reverse is the past and so is an ephemeral passage.

It finally has happened. After a 20 hour flight to Nigeria, at about 4am, you hear wild banging on the door of a room in a 1 dollar per night hostel you've checked in the previous night. You hear crowd screaming your name, and shouting something in the language you don't understand. You try to reach for your cell phone with your hand weakened by malaria, and then realize that you have sold your it to buy a one way ticket to get here. Banging gets aggressive and finally the raging crowd breaks in, grabs your shivering body, and drags it to the Dambe Fighting arena, that is just outside the hostel. They throw you on the sand, you raise your head and see that people have already gathered and musicians are playing ancient ritualistic rhythms, and your opponent, Ali Kanin Bello, is tying up his concrete knuckle, that in a few moments will crush your head into pieces, shattering them around the arena. You got unlucky to have him as your first and last fighting opponent, the day before you arrived, Autan Mamman and Garkuwan Cindo decided, your potential fighters, decided to give their mate, Ali Kanin Bello, a warming up fight with you, so he accepted their preposition. A couple of guys take you by your arms, slap in the face and spit water on you to wake you up a bit. Then the judge starts the fight and Kanin instantly runs towards you, grabs you by your face, and starts punching it so hard, that in a few moments nothing is left of it, you died after his first punch, but he keeps holding your body with his other hand, throwing the punches, so when nothing is left of your head, your body falls on the ground, and the crowd shouts with joy. The video of your fight is later sent to your mom.

If what you find worthwhile is building thing a with your hands and you need a workshop for that, then a workshop can be rented and many places offer workshop spaces for a small membership fee. I don’t necessarily think you need a house to do what you want, but if you do then just save up and buy a house. Simple.

whaduppp, cunnts? how youre doin. Ok, recently saw Bruegel's painting ''monkeys'', and it just naturally became an illustration of ''death of sense'', any sense in anything. it's mostly being interpreted from religious point of view, where monkeys are stupid sinners who prefer to be chained by sin for a cheap pleasure of eating some nuts, instead of being free like those two birds and live in the beautiful world that's in the background. absolute bs. I name it "Adam and Eve", the painting that should've been Bruegel's last one, as the apex of absolute pointlessness of his entire life he dedicated to serve higher purpose and popularize christianity. Why adam and eve? because, like any human being, they're apes, miserable, suffering apes, chained to the ground, living a miserable life limited by eating crap and shtting crap. Their appearance says they dont belong to this place, jungle monkeys in the medieval arch, which looks like it's suspended somewhere on the edges of absurdity, between the sky, sea and ground, almost like in open cosmos. They're helpless, they can't do anything but obey the cruel rules of the existential game, and play, through pain and suffering, hoping to reach those blossoming gardens and shining ocean in the background, which is both ''tomorrow will be a better day'' and heaven after death. But those gardens are so far, they seem more like a mirage, illusion, there's a void between those monkeys and the beautiful life they want to reach so bad. Their faces and body poses clearly show those monkeys became insane and broken from hoping, waiting, suffering, and constantly being teased by happy life that is right there, but never reachable. Finally they will both die from cold, heat, starvation and dehydration, rot till nothing is left of them but the bones, that will fall out of cuffs, set free by death.

I always get so motivated and driven in the evenings for my big goals, but come morning I'm always depressed and despaired and I don't want to do anything but sit around and play dumb games. I've caught myself in that feeling today however, and I hope by becoming more familiar with it I can find a way to address it and achieve my goals.
My first thoughts are that it's a lack of confidence in my planning, and I realize that I don't have a strong mental image of my goal. I can't imagine it very easily. I'm thinking by strengthening that emotion connection, literally just believing in it harder, I can wake up more inspired and less outright hopeless feeling.

i have the same problem. tonight around 10pm i will finally settle down and try to do some work, but by then i will have 2-3 hours of productive energy. i know most people on /lit/ say self-help books are a "scam" but that "getting things done" book has a good trick for overcoming procrastination, since as you say it is generally a mix of lack of clarity or lack of confidence. so you make a list of your goals, then you break down those goals into smaller and smaller pieces until you're down to stuff that takes less than two minutes. then you do one. then you do the next one. and so on. it does work if you actually do it. it's really hard to be unclear or overwhelmed by something that takes two minutes or less. so am i doing it? in the past i have, but i have this sheepishness that my landlord or roommate will come in my room and see a list of shit i want to do. i guess i could keep it on the computer, but i find it's not as effective digitally. something about writing it out.

I was going to write a thought on how I thought women seeing themselves in the mirror and feeling their own body made them biased towards believing they are weak and are meant for nurturing, and men are the opposite, meant for manipulating the world and causing change, with examples being soft skin, breasts, hips, childlike stature, musculature, voice and facial proportion, and this itself defines a lot of behavior
But now I'm like what am I achieving with this. My life isn't suited at all to any worthwhile exploration of this idea. I don't have the time, expertise or interest. All I can really say is it kind of makes sense but I don't know and any thoughts I have aren't really beneficial to anyone. Really there's only a handful of things I can really have something worthwhile to contribute on. And so I get this feeling like I should just keep my mouth shut, which makes joining conversations tough because I'm like I have nothing real to contribute and I'm not interested in idle armchair talk. But it's also likely everyone also has little relevant things to actually say and I'm one of the few whose self apprehension actually matches this.

this hasnt seemed to stop almost every wannabe content creator in the last decade. its simply absurd how inane and trite most shared thoughts are from 99% of people, but it doesnt stop them in the slighest. the weird thing is that they seem to think that what theyre outputting is useful or valuable in some way, too. too many retards. at least be thankful that you possess the self-awareness to catch these notions early on and just spit them out on a wwoym thread instead of pretending like theyre anything more grand than they really are.

Treat it all like a big math problem with little steps all along the way. You wake up late? Start there. How to wake up earlier. I read a tip that it's never the going to bed earlier that helps, it's just the actual getting out of bed in the morning. I have trouble with that because I wake up drained of motivation. So that's the next thing to push on. My goal now is when I wake up to exit my bed. No more laying around and falling asleep for another hour. Just get out of bed, it doesn't matter if I fall asleep on the couch or on the floor, I just have to exit the bed.
See? Figure out every single little step and issue that's between you and your goal and break it down, make a plan and execute, then see what went wrong and address that. It's stupid but I went to college and the process reminds me of how I'd solve the real long physics problems. Step by step, determine what you know, attempt solutions.

I think there's something to be said for the idea of "playing at life" and I think this urge to make grand comments on everything comes from a need to feel like you're smart and above it all when really you're very disconnected and don't understand any of it. Like a 13 year old who talks like they knows everything and yet hasn't seen anything. People grow older and continue to never ever see or touch so much of life except through entertainment and media, so of course they get so cocky because who's going to actually check them on any of it? It makes people feel good and secure in their conceptions, and is why all the dumbfuck twitter ragebait is so popular. I see so much ragebait all the time and it confounds me that people still fall for it and feel the need to make their inane comment.
Recently I read some camus and I think I misunderstood the way he used the word "dandy" taking it to just mean someone who plays at life. Some kind of word like this with a clear meaning for these people, who are ignorant not because of stupidity necessarily but because they've lived in a bubble their whole life, I think would be great. bluepill basedboy? fraud? phony? I guess manchild works
Also the irony of us also making grand statements on stuff

I don't know much about the old crusty religious painting cinematic universe that maybe provides backstory to who these monkeys are, but on its own like this, I'm inclined towards your take. Prisoners of an absurd, alien scenario, where both are exposed to witness with their eyes endless sights and sound but are chained in their actual experience of it to this small precipice, to their small little piece of the world which they will never escape
