The best intentions of well-meaning if inept progressives of yesteryear became the cult of victimisation as it became apparent there was a perverse kind of positive social attache alongside suffering which the notion of Social Justice catalyses. People naturally look for affirmation and attention from their peers. Thus, we all quickly learned to game the system. It became part of the meta. It's not really that deep and not something worthy of the level of cringeposting you just inflicted us with.

>> No.22353423

It's not "glorified", it is simply not considered a mental illness. However, same as the anti-white sentiment, it is considered more "diverse" then the default of being straight, cis, etc. therefore it is "special" or of its own standing instead of just being equivalent to anything else. It's a core of identity politics nonsense.

give me your coherent opinion on trannies. why do you dislike them? do you rage at people with OCD simply because their brains are fucked and you dislike their behaviour?
don't get me wrong, I'm not the leftist brainlessly defending le trans heroes, but I do think they're needlessly a boogeyman and particularly a vehicle for implementing leftist policy via strongarm tactics - reason being, there just aren't that many trannies as all sorts of media make it out. through anything resembling a somewhat acceptable public education, any kid will learn what puberty is around the time they're going through puberty. I remember also being taught about mental disorders such as OCD and completely unsurprisingly, it was easily understandable around the age of 12. when you teach kids about that too early, many of them begin to emulate it and act like they actually believe they have those issues.
I don't think there's much harm in exposing kids to Doris from Shrek, but there's no benefit to taking kids to drag queen story time, I saw it compared to the "rolling coal" of leftism, one of those pointless things that only serves to provoke the ideological opposite. what is the real basis for your dislike of trans people? I don't really believe that most people want them stuffed into a dark corner, they just don't want their kids being influenced by "experimental" shit the way that ipads clearly have.

Because of all the loony bins being closed down and like what has been said in the posts before their mental illness are glorified like its something normal and because of that they are allowed to spread their degenerate plight to other people and convince them that its a healthy normal lifestyle. In effect they are disgusting subhumans that shouldnt be allowed to be seen in society or allowed to walk near anyone else. Even lobotomy would be a kindness to these degenerates.
> I don't really believe that most people want them stuffed into a dark corner
Yes they do, you are just brainwashed by the media that glorify this garbage to begin with. A lines has to be drawn somewhere before the 80s homosexuality was seen as a mental disorder that should be brought back aswell because its a fucking slipper slope and saying its not is just pure cope.

A proper civilized society would ideally discourage these freaks from coming out in the first place. May they keep their decadent tendencies well hidden from the world. We don't want to see a person strip itself bare of its dignity. Society needs to learn to ignore the screechings and nagging of insignificant minorities, lest its tolerance is abused by ever increasing decay.

Not that anon but its kind of weird that he feels imposter syndrome from this situation. It just means that you start to doubt yourself and feel like a fraud. Like if you start writing a book and you are very excited about it then once you start to doubt yourself it snowballs into feeling that you are kidding yourself and perhaps others into thinking you have talent when in reality you don’t.

I disagree. I think economic possibilities are a lot more possible than for example social, political, or historical possibilities. How many of those rich people have left their mark on history? How many of those which have left their mark on history were nobodies through their 30s? These things seem to be pretty mysterious as far as how they unfold and how they work, but they do seem to show themselves relatively early in life. Julius Caesar was a successful soldier and bringing justice to pirates before he had hair on his peaches and long before he was bringing justice to Rome. These sort of achievements are wholly different than strictly monetary achievements in my mind. The former are about what you do more than what you have, which is the case for the latter.

Idk its a tough issue. Im a cutfag so I guess that influences my view but im also very anti semitic. But your opinion should be considered.

That I have sinister capabilities.
I'm responsible for killing my step-dads dog at like 12. Went to hop into the carpool for the Boy Scouts and she stared at me all doe eyed. Pic related
"Come on!", I implored.
She just stood there and looked at me.
I hopped in the truck and went away.
She was struck by car shortly after.
I had to apologize later on for something that I didn't even fully grasp was my fault.
They told me to apologize, not why.

Kindle new vs Kindle 10th gen

The 10th gen one is on sale right now. So I was wondering which one should I buy. I don't know where else to ask this.

Major differences seem to be that 10 gen is 8gb while new one is 16gb. Also 10 gen is 167 ppi while new one is 300ppi

My question is whether these differences justify the price difference since the 10gen one is cheaper by 33%. Which one should I get.

Not that guy, but I hide my drug use from others. Drugs don't inherently make you degenerate or act out in any way. Mostly that's just irresponsible people with poor impulse control or lower-class people who love to involve everyone in their personal problems

I use stimulants and street amphetamine because doctors are useless and I've never met a physician who can properly treat attention deficit. Currently there's also a ban on pharmacy ADHD medication, national prescription shortages, and the DEA is cracking down on most doctors who provide prescriptions. I don't want to use street amphetamine or speed, but unfortunately my genetics or brain chemistry doesn't allow me to function day-to-day sober. I would say I'm legitimately brain damaged or a drooling retard without stimulants. You and other people may view people like me as disgusting junkies or drug addicts, but I view myself as someone who slipped through the cracks of poor medical practice and psychiatry. If I had ever met a competent doctor or lived in an intelligent country (one without DEA and war on drugs nonsense) I would be a perfectly well adjusted person, and hell, maybe some drugs would even be sold over the counter without issue. I guess it's just a shame because both sides of this argument will never understand one another or reconcile the difference

You can have fun without drugs.
The longer you go without drugs the more fun you'll have as your body fixes itself.

The problem with drugs is that they create this false belief that life is better without them when the reality is that they reduce the quality of life you have.

Your ability to experience pleasure will be diminished with every drug that you do (drop in natural neurochemicals)

Drugs steal happiness from the future.

What goes up, must come down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo

Another reason why drugs lower your quality of life is because the cravings you get for drugs takes you away from the present moment.

But you can only enjoy life in the present moment.

if you're worrying about the the past, then you're not living.
If you're thinking about the future (when will I get my drug fix), then you're not living.

You can only live in the present.

And drug cravings take you out of the present.

We make this comparison between our high self and sober self.

Our sober self says "I wish I were high".

Just like the poor man says "I wish I were rich."
The ugly man says "I wish I were handsome."
The short man says "I wish I were tall."
The lonely man says "I wish I had somebody."

But desiring these other states won't satisfy you.
How rich do you need to be?
How handsome do you need to be?
How tall do you need to be?
etc.

As long as you crave these things, then you will not be able to enjoy life, because you are stuck in your mind, just thinking and telling yourself "I am not good enough."

But you are good enough.

Life is good enough as it is.

The trees are good enough.
The sky is good enough.
The grass on your feet is good enough.
The wind blowing through your hair is good enough.
The birds singing are good enough.
The smell of the earth when it rains is good enough.

If you don't try to enhance things, and accept them as they are, then you can be very satisfied with life.

So the most recent works have more influences.
If an incredible book came out in the early 2000s, which was based off of works from the 50s or early 1900s or 1800s or whatever, then someone now can base their book off of that book. They have more fuel to work with since theirs more works. There's more scientific understanding of things.

/lit/ likes to praise old philosophy, but an actual philosophy professor said on some philosophy podcast (on stoicism i think) that you're better off reading modern books for trying to better yourself since they do a better job than the older philosophical texts.

And personally based on what I've read I agree that modern books are better for understanding things, since they take from the past, and also include stuff from the present.

You aren't aware of the biology behind this. It absolutely does exist and my brain is severely damaged, or my central nervous system at the very least.

I've alternated between a state of catatonia to near parkinson's (unable to move, lack of motor function, cognitive deficits) half of my life. My brain lacks the fundamental chemistry yours has by default. Norepinephrine, adrenaline, dopamine and other neurotransmitters are responsible for most of your day-to-day functioning and ability to physically move around and accomplish goal-oriented behavior. On the outside, it's very frustrating, people overestimate me and believe I'm perfectly functional. I am nearly narcoleptic or catatonic when I am fully sober. It's difficult to hold a job or socialize with other people because my memory is so awful. I'm not sure exactly what happened in my genetics and it could possibly be an autoimmune/neurodegenerative disease, but it's the truth. There are days when I feel like a legitimate dementia patient. There are also many doctors who deny anything is wrong with me at all.

When I avoid the internet, porn, etc and stick to simpler stuff like books and walks, I am much happier and capable of doing things.

I was addicted to caffeine from like 2011-2017 and then quit. Realized that I didn't need it. Became less stressed and have more consistent energy overall without it. (rec "Caffeine Blues") (r/decaf)

Porn I realized was having a negative effect on me. I've gone back and forth multiple times, watching it daily, to avoiding it completely, along with limiting masturbating, and it has a very clear effect on my energy and mood. I just feel so much better when I avoid it completely. (https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/miscellaneous-resources/start-here-evolution-has-not-prepared-your-brain-for-todays-porn/))

The internet can have a huge negative effect on your mental state and energy. (dopamine deficit from too much novelty). Multitasking (listening to music, while browsing, and watching porn, and watching a movie/show, and playing games, etc. TOO much dopamine leading to downregulation. (r/nosurf)

Alcohol I would drink on occasion but realized that I felt worse when I would do it often, and better when I would avoid it. (recommend "This Naked Mind" by Annie Grace) (r/stopdrinking)

Weed - same story. (r/leaves)

Video games - same story. (r/stopgaming)

Music, especially loud intense music, and listening to it for long periods also had a negative effect.

And on and on.

Eating healthy nutritious food also makes a difference.
If you're not eating a variety of vegetables, then you might be severely lacking in many nutrients, which can cause brain fog and fatigue.

I don't know how much time you spend on this website, or how much drugs you do, or whatever. But in my experience, I've found that the more I try to stimulate myself, the worse I feel. But the less I indulge in stimulating things, the better I feel.

Yeah, but you forget, these patients seeing doctors are real, physical tangible people - most people seeking medical treatment have no idea what's wrong with their body. They're seeking answers, medication or a solution

I really doubt it's difficult to become a doctor in most countries. The entry exams for medical school, barring the pre-requirements for university education seem very easy. Most of these med students are just cramming biology answers and quick medical trivia. Physicians are "juniors" in every sense, most have absolutely no real world experience or detailed medical science understanding because their scope is so general. They can diagnose anyone with a rough level of accuracy, yes - but they do far more damage by dismissing patients and legitimate medical issues out of egotism. These physicians are young people mostly and they usually go off of "feeling". Since when did opinions help anyone? They'll dismiss certain illnesses or diagnoses just because they heard about it online and "disagree" with how the symptoms sound

This isn't true. Most of the taste of food is flavonoids (which are nutrients, often vital ones for the prevention of death and disease) and it's fat and protein profiles. The addicted to sugar thing is a consequence of processed foods, and most companies which deal with highly palatable food engineering are using sugar to modify those profiles, not to make the product taste as sweet as possible. You're more often concealing the amount of sugar in product's taste profile, because tasting the raw equivalent in pure sugar is sickening.

To be fair, hiv is a wild west, so even those who are good at treating it are still cowboys and pariahs, and the ones who aren't good at it aren't seen as bigger cowboys. There's a lot of latitude in some diseases, and hiv probably wouldn't have got any viable treatment without the kind of doctors willing to play fast and loose on a very sick population.
It's not a viable alternative approach to medicine. Mostly what medicine needs is more skepticism from its clients because that's one of the few things that keeps snake oil low. There's a reason people used not visit their doctor unless fanciful or genuinely near death, and that reason has stood the test of time since Hippocrates: for most people doctors can only harm a system which is largely healthful.

My highschool was hardcore progressive. It was populated by peoole who would outright laugh at someone for even mentioning God. When the pledge of allegiance was said before school events, the students leading it would regularly omit "under God." The really interesting thing is that it was there I met three of the most devout Christians I have ever encountered. They came, one after another to me. With each one the subject of God would arise. I was atheist at the time. I didnt believe or understand at the time but they each said all the things I needed to hear at the time. I didn't realize that these were messengers from God until years later, after I was baptized.

At the end of the day, addiction is addiction. Social stigma and cultural ideals get fucked up by all this anti-drug, pro-porn, pro-obesity propaganda in the US and first world countries
It's more degenerate than most care to acknowledge but it's just because propaganda is profitable

Substance abuse, alcoholism, eating disorders, gambling, even falling in love takes effect in the same regions of the brain and central nervous system, literally with the same mechanisms and withdrawal effects occurring with chemicals like dopamine and adrenaline. Getting addicted to crystal meth, in some ways, is no different from falling in love - just like gambling addiction is no different from binge eating and nationwide obesity problems. Money is the only constant in all of these situations. That's why big pharma makes money pumping Americans full of SSRIs, that's why obesity and fast food is profitable, that's also why the DEA and joe schmoe the physician is allowed to hike up the cost of your FDA-approved medications whilst pedaling propaganda about evil drug users and junkies subverting wholesome communities.

Social standards and culture have been subverted by anti-drug propaganda and zero public health information standards
Porn is very profitable too. That's obviously an addiction for most young men nowadays but no one gives a fuck because it's jewish porn producers making millions of dollars

What is it then? Alcohol is ethanol, it is poison. It does nothing else but poison you. The alcohol drunkessness is literal poisoning. There is no other way to describe it.
What is smoking? It is inhaling ash, you burn plant matter, paper and probably little bit of that filter also gets charred, and then you inhale that burned matter - ash into your lungs. Do you know how lungs? They require clean air, the cleaner air the better, and what you do is the very opposite of what your lungs need.

>Go enjoy a glass of water with the boys you complete oddball
you are addicted but another reason you drink is a misplaced sense of achievement. You are confusing getting drunk or high on drugs with doing something dangerous (and surving the real dangerous situation, genuinely achieving something) and getting that natural adrenaline boost. You go with the boys to get drunk, that is all you do, that's the manly thing to do, at least that's what it looks like from a drunk person perspective. For one time go out but don't drink (or get high) and see how retarded everyone becomes and acts when they get drunk, that is also you when you are drunk.

Honestly my few experiences with a light dose of lsd or psilocybin was better than anything else I've done in my life. Especially psilocybin which always just seemed to make me more present and expressive, a joyous and humorous enabling experience that is capable of shedding anxieties. Weed can really suck though, I've had many times where I just felt anxiety, dread or unending schizo tier thoughts. Alcohol obviously I've had the most embarassing and ridiculous of experiences where I did things I absolutely regret, especially when I was young. Alcohol is devious in I think it creeps on you subtly. I'm older now and not as stupid so in general I can handle it but even when I drink a small amount I notice it gives me a bit of an edge, hardly noticeable but it's there.

The reason I'd never do hallucinogenons is because I'm not interested in the effects for one and the other more important reason is that I've read many forums about hallucinogenons and all the people say exactly the same. "Whoaaa so enlightening whoaa" or some shit like that. I don't believe it. I believe they got actual irreperable brain damage from it. Not that I don't think I would be in the state of not believing the high. I think I'd actually fall in coma for not believing the high and wake up 12 hours later, not remembering shit. There comes a point where the upkeep of the engine at full power becomes too expensive. Believing the high is one way, not believing the high the other, more dangerous way. I handled it quite well when I took nutmeg, but then again, I made the fatal mistake of not calling my parents. Police caught me three days later while walking home in a perfectly clean state, dry clothes etc, but my parents had actually called me missing. I regret it. I wish I could have finished the 12 hour hike during the cloudy day and I'm sad about living in stupid modernity with it's phones.

Oh well, getting into a hotel after a rough 15 hour hike, completely wet and with 40+ ticks all over your legs to take them off in the hotel bathtub so I don't get lymes, wait for the clothes to dry, get dressed again in the morning and get the fuck out, spent the day watching movies in the cinema, went to a bar in the middle of the night, played darts with the barista, then started hiking again in the morning to go home, ahhh, sweet sweet days, fuck the police and fuck the mobile phones they ruined everything but yeah, that was life at it's rad.

of course it is all chemicals, your brain and glands all over your body secrete many different chemicals, some of which are responsible for different emotions.

I think that hallucinogens (including weed) are the only thing worth doing sparsely (as I meditate more and read nourishing books I'm on the fence with this), and in the right environment with the right mindset (play some positive affirmations before and during the trip). The purpose of these drugs should be to rewire your brain for the better. To change your mindset so that you don't fear things and can enjoy life. Watching scary movies or anything that can potentially traumatize you is a bad idea. Read books, watch stuff, or listen to music that put your mind in a good place. If you've had a trip and you feel great, and it changed the way you view things for the better, then stay away from drugs and just ride that good vibe train.

Everything else is just highs, followed by lows, followed by cravings, and a reduction in the ability to feel pleasure.

If any drug becomes a frequent habit, then you're going to suffer the consequences of tolerance, dependency, craving, reduced pleasure, and so on.

But I can change my brain wirings without drugs. Idk. I consider myself fond enough on the subject and it's always the same but the people who did can never quite actually explain what *exactly* hallucinegons do to them. Sure, I could microdose LSD, but what would that give me besides the literal effects of a joint? Probably the same. A fuzzy vision, louder thoughts, and nothing else, maybe I'd laugh five minutes later about some absurdity with my friend, and then it would just go on plainly but with fuzzy mode on, and then I'd grab a drink, and it'll feel good, and then life goes on.

You can read peoples experiences on reddit or erowid.
If you want specific effects here's an example
https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Lsd

I've only done weed, so I might not know what I'm talking about when it comes to lsd,shrooms,etc. I've just read a little bit about some psychedelics in the past.

Obviously on psychedelics you see and hear unusual things.

But the important part I think for the effects of psychedelics (including weed) is increased suggestibility and meaningfulness. So whatever you're doing while high can potentially leave an imprint that lingers after the drug wears off.
Increased suggestibility is like if you have the thought "I am a good person" or someone says to you "You are a good person", that idea will be amplified while on psychedelics and you're more likely to believe you being a "good person" as true. There can be thought loops where you're repeating words or phrases over and over again, so whatever you got going on in your environment or subconscious can have a big impact, since repetition is the mother of learning. Filling your mind with positive things before the trip and after is important to prevent a bad trip.

You can develop an association between things, because the drug has you feeling good (or bad), and so if you feel good and you're doing something, then that thing feels good, and it leaves an impact.
Or it could go bad and then you have a nasty lingering feeling where things just feel terrible. If you trip while it's raining you might form a strong positive connection with the rain and then every time it rains after you trip, you're brought back to that wonderful moment. If there's something that spooks you then it can seem terrifying. You can draw connections between things that normally wouldn't be associated with each other. Memories can resurface. There's increased introspection, so wherever your mind is before the trip, then that could be where it ends up going during the trip. So, a good mindset and a good setting with good people is important.

Psychedelics just have a strong ability to rewire your brain in a good or bad direction because of the "amplification" of things and the novel experience of being in this dream world, which is why what you're doing before and during a trip and who you are with is very important. People you like means good vibes. People you don't like saying weird stuff can put you in a bad headspace.

I know from my experience with weed that I can end up liking things I wouldn't normally like. I can like some shitty song I wouldn't normally care for sober because that's the effect of the drug. It just makes things seem good. That also can be seen as a problem. The drug deludes you into thinking things are a certain way when they're not. Whereas, simply being sober and mindful helps you see things as they are in your natural sober state which is more reliable since you're in that state more often then you're high.

>>22355375
Amplification isn't something that requires a high. If you want to amplify a thought sober you just do it, dissect the thought, analyze it from every perspective, and come to a conclusion. This is a reasonable time to take some drugs: maybe someone realizes he just can't get through it completely sober so he drugs himself up and repeats the process. Also what you describe about the environment being more influential and liking songs you don't like sober only happens when you believe the high. It also only when you believe the high that the high can make you happy. If you don't believe the high ever, it will never influence your emotions, rather, you will be in some sort of controlled, stoic, pure-minded state where the drug just changes perception slightly without ever touching into it's corner. But for now I haven't come to "an edge" with my sober philosophies so until I didn't find a goal do to while high I see no reason to do that. I'd probably just feel bored on psychedelics. Nothing whoaa. Just plain boredom. This is because I control the high.

The phenomena are not real. They pass over the awareness like a stream over a stone. Pain, pleasure, sensations, emotions, thoughts, the will, and the sense of identity are all equally unreal; the awareness is the only thing that can be said to exist. Are you living your own life, or are you watching the most elaborate movie ever made? There is no way to tell the difference between thinking and willing and passively experiencing the sensation of thinking and willing.

I’ve been off the booze for a while and I’m not sure sobriety has made my life any better. Geriatric and juvenile at once, I’m barely able to relate to anyone and am almost certainly going to die alone. I may be in love with a friend but only because she’s the only person I see and speak to regularly. It wouldn’t work even if I actually wanted her. My passions are long gone. It’s embarrassing to give a shit about anything and it’s also embarrassing to be this apathetic. I’ve only read 1 book this year but waste tons of time with articles and podcasts. Totally lost but too cowardly and comfortable to kill myself. Knowing how cliche this nonsense is only makes it more depressing. I wish I was a fucking ghost. Thank you for reading my blog!

Sobriety has it's upsides. However the nights are dull when you have no friends and the women you meet don't interest you.
It's something people who used to drink/do drugs often say. Becoming sober doesn't seem to fix anything. It's not dramatic like you would imagine when you do drink/smoke.
It's mostly dull. But when i did smoke I wanted sobriety for some reason. I forgot why

To become a tranny there is a necessity that you think something as hollow and meaningless as your perceived gender role in society is a fundamental part of your soul. Not only that but you have to have an immense amount of narcissism and self consciousness to take such drastic measures just to be perceived a certain way by people you don't know. Again, I must stress, this is a prerequisite, there are no 'good' trannies, though some are cute, I guess.

I wouldn't say I hate them in the sense that their existence affects me emotionally or I go out of my way to try and cause them suffering but I do think they are a very visible representation of the degradation in morality/spirituality of our society/world and as such they should be called out for what they are, mentally ill freaks. I understand it's not entirely their fault, they have been force fed endless propaganda from a young age and we can't expect every kid to be able to resist the temptation for a perceived easy path in life but forgiving people this hard is not pragmatic, we have to discard and give up on these now defunct humans as a warning to others that transitioning is not the solution to your problems. That's another thing, it's just plain delusion/dumbness to think transitioning will solve the core of your suffering, it's mental illness every way you look at it, we need more men to realise the fundamentally suffering nature of reality and strive to bear it in order to recover our fallen world.
