The knowledge that one day you will break, and settle for a girl who gave her entire youth and beauty away to strangers for as cheaply as a drink or a few inches, chiefly out of your fear of loneliness, is what caueses so many thinking men to rattle themselves into a spiteful frenzy.

I want to write a story about a predatorial lesbian who manipulates and then rapes a straight girl.
The lesbian comes from a very religious family and she does believe in God, but instead of feeling guilty or repenting she decides to go balls to the wall since she's going to hell anyway and decides to indulge while she can.
The straight girl is an euphoric atheist who thinks she's helping the lesbian break out from religion and come to terms with her sexuality. She's a lonely girl who's going through a break up and is emotionally vulnerable.

So the question is, should this story be from the perspective of the predatorial lesbian (so the reader gets exposed to her insane view of the world like in American Psycho) or from the perspective of the fedora tipper (so it is gradually revealed and is more about how the girl gradually falls for cult-like manipulation)

Finished Typee last night and was loving it right up until the last chapter because of how obviously fictionalized it is. The savage who has been holding him captive for months suddenly has a change of heart, turns to him and says "Home... Mother..." and then he makes a daring escape being chased by an angry hoard that they have to beat back? Give me a break. Really cheapens the whole thing which otherwise is intelligent and basically anthropological. And the """sequel""" written about how Toby got away smacks similarly of fiction. Although Melville living his life with this obvious lie hanging around his neck deepens him as a human for me, somewhat, even if it cheapened Typee.

On the mountain my ancestors lived died and were buried on. I'm not near their graves although I've seen them before. It's a big mountain. It's a state park now. I guess I'm glad that it's preserved. I live in the city where my great grandfather ambled about as a homeless drunk until he was beaten to death. he died on Virginia avenue, where to this day is the only liquor store open on Sundays till the state mandated closing time. I do go to that store, on Sundays, after all the others are closed, and imagine he'd done the same immediately before he died. Maybe I will die in similar fashion, drunk and dirty on Virginia avenue, in the shadow of our families mountain

Oh! I'm so thankful for this thread! I wrote this today and didn't know where to post it! Thank you so much! Feedback is greatly appreciated!

On a cool November evening, the farmer was checking in on his hens laying eggs. He noticed one of the hens not laying eggs and encouraging the others to not lay eggs anymore. The farmer listened closely to what she was saying. "So you see there are too many empty apartments in China. That's why we can't lay anymore eggs. The farmer gasped, "communists!" The farmer picked up the clucking hen, "listen ladies, everything is A-OK. Everyone who didn't have an apartment in China now has an apartment. It turned out to be a big misunderstanding." The hens went back to laying their eggs. The offending hen clucked, "no they're not, everyone in China is going to be broke and this is serious! We need to quit laying eggs right now!" The farmer looked down at the troubled hen, and said, "everyone in China will be broke? That's awful! Why don't you tell me more about this behind the barn near the old tree stump so I can explain it to the others so they'll quit laying eggs." "Certainly!" clucked the hen. "So you see, when the Chinese kept building apartments, they were way over extended..."

Later that day, the farmer was finishing up a delicious chicken leg and small side of corn when a man from the city approached. "Farmer, what's going on over here?" Before the man from the city could inform the Farmer that his land wasn't zoned for farming, the farmer interrupted, "you won't believe it! These damn communists have been spreading their stupid ass ideas and some of my hens got wind of it and thought that they couldn't lay eggs anymore because of some nonsense about the Chinese."

Seeing the farmer was already worked up, the man from the city told the farmer, "so your chickens didn't want to lay eggs for you anymore? That's awful! Why don't you tell me more about that near the old tree stump behind city hall?" The farmer grabbed his hat enthusiastically and said, "certainly! And another thing about these lazy communists: They keep stirring the pot and can't keep their damn mouths shut!"

I'm trying to accept the fact that I'm pretty ugly but it's tough. I'm a little muscular, have visible abs, decent arms with veins popping out, but I have an ugly face and a spergy spaghetti dropping personality and that's a dealbreaker for every woman I've met.
It's like, I'll go hit a PR at the gym, get promoted at work, achieve something, whatever, feel a little more confident, think I've become a little bit of a better person, and then I'll go out in public and accidentally bump into a girl and when she turns to see me she'll have this quick flash of disgust on her face that undoes it all.
In the past I've had girls tell me I'm one of the ugliest guys they've ever seen but nowdays I don't really bother getting close enough to anybody for them to make half-joking but actually serious comments like that.

I now remembered how i played basketball at the university practices back when i was on exchange semester in France. I went there 2 times a week and it was pretty fun. But then one time some girl showed up with couple of other girls and a guy. The girl was really cute, just my type. Brunnete, fine build and super pretty face. I was similar frame and height as the guy. So anyway things turned out that i played against that guy and the girl first game. As unwritten rules suggest, i had to beat him to win her affection. So we went 1on1 for a couple of times, we even hit each other with heads like we were deers lmao. But eventually, i scored on him fair and square and i even did a little stutter dance. He never showed up again. But the girl did and she always waited for me to pick up the jersey so that she would pick up the same colored jersey so that were on the same team. And let me tell you, that girl could ball. She played point guard and always threw me assists and i always scored. It was incredible. Literally 10 assists per game she gave me. I never felt that kind of functioning connection with a girl. So after the game i approached her and said thanks for the assists. She pretended like she didnt know english. After that nothing was the same, timing was off with the passes and i didnt score that much. Soon semester ended and i never saw her again

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains. Three centuries after John Locke and two centuries after the Industrial Revolution we are still waiting for the fruits of liberalism to ripen into, or at least towards, the utopian vision we see in early liberal writers. In the meantime we prop up the meager benefits we do enjoy like convenient access to porn and inexpensive mind-destroying entertainment via the systematic dilution of our collective identities via the mass importation of unwashed masses from the third world for cheap labor, as well as with the wanton destruction of prior modes of living via the international outsourcing of labor and ruthless logic of the modern economy.

Now without two members of the household earning above-average location-adjusted compensation it is unlikely today's young adults will raise their children in a house rather than an apartment, to the extent that two full time laborers can raise children at all. Is it a compelling consolation to anybody that the "privilege" of engaging in a lifetime of unfulfilling wage or salary labor has been expanded to other half of the population and will be extended for increasingly old (and formerly retired) and likely soon the increasingly young?

governance is a simple matter when you strip away bureucracy and favoritism that protects the corrupt opportunists that want to garner control, you make the keys to power because you believe if you let them be as dirty as they want they will play your game with your set of rules
this is a fallacy that gets stripped away the moment the rules become a obstacle to them, the rich duke that you showered with gold will use it to uproot you, the merchants you gave special privileges to will use the wealth they amassed to undermine you, the clergy that you gave powers to rule alongside the crown are as lacking in loyalty as they are in respect
it doesn't work and the cyclical nature is the only lesson people took from this, that it works for a while and then something new will be at the top, governance that is truly just will be undermined by the unjust, the unjust breed corruption and opportunists, the opportunists will slit their corrupt throats and make their power shift seem like a act of retaliation
the wheel won't save you, your keys to power are not your co-compatriots, any group you give power to govern will be corrupted by that power and you will never understand what is required for truly just rule because you kill them every time you meet them in horror

Not absolutely, but it is definitely harder. Many paths to success are virtually impossible to traverse for those trying to do so later in life. Many of those that remain open can be impractical by virtue of the responsibilities you have when you are older. Not impossible, but definitely not easy compared to being 18, graduating high school, and having a career goal and the information on how to achieve it.

How are you doing?

In december everyone I know and hang out with in my current city will go away except three people who have nothing to do with each other. I need to keep watch for opportunities to grow my social network before time comes. I tend to avoid 1v1 interactions because I'm bad with people although I see them regularly, so everything is going to fall on my face if I don't. I need to find someone who can draw the attention away from me in my parties and happens to be likable enough which is, believe it or not, a very subtle personality type.

There are answers to this question that have to do with being "fulfilled," or making enough money to raise a family and maybe one day own a house. But in my experience the feeling of joy and accomplishment I get from completing long-term goals like these is short-lived in the best case and completely hollow in the worst. Doing well in school, having sex, getting a job, buying a car, getting a girlfriend, saving money, going on vacation, graduating, all these things I used to hype up in my head by saying, "Oh man, this is what's been lacking, I'll feel better after I get this or do that," and every time it comes to pass and I feel no different after a few days at most, except maybe a little disappointed that it didn't live up to the expectation.

I am almost certain that if I manage to accomplish what I would like to, it would be the same, because I used to look at things I didn't have and couldn't imagine having when I was younger (sex, my own car, my own place, a job to keep everything afloat, a gorgeous girl that loves me for some reason), and I would think to myself, "Man, if only I had these things, I know I would be happy, and I wouldn't need anything else," Now I have them and I'm no better off for it. Maybe fatherhood is something that can get my mind off the whole thing for the next eighteen years or so, but that's a dangerous trigger to pull when I'm already having doubts.

Only just saw this anon, please I hope you read this.

My dad tried to kill himself on my my 25th birthday after two years of having absolutely manic meltdowns forcing me to leave a job and watch him. I went from a chubby 180 pounds to 220 and barely left my basement from then on other than to cook and clean the dishes for him and my mother.

But eventually, after slipping a disc being just such a perpetually hunched over the iPad lump and couldn’t type or draw, I decided to just walk around my neighborhood a little bit each day. That turned into a mile and then quickly up to 3 miles a day just walking at my own pace - very slow. It gives you time to think, sun gives you vitamin d (which you should also supplement if you live anywhere but the south west or south east) and the fresh air does wonders. I went from loathing seeing a neighbor or two in my walk to being the guy who waves to everyone. I, at my most negative and depressed, would fucking hate the me I’ve become. Because I’ve become more positive (I’m still a bit of a cunt but I’m positive about a lot more)

In this time I haven’t suddenly become a success, I haven’t suddenly become the worlds most eligible bachelor, but life is good and - most importantly - life is worth it.

I get to see my father smile now, something I never would have even dared to imagine, especially when my niece is over the house. I genuinely wanted to end it at certain points following his attempts (there was a second just a two months later in February of the next year) but I’d have missed out on so much I couldn’t even imagine.

Look into your girlfriend’s eyes when next you see her, smile, and decide to live. You have so much to live for, so much you can do. Nobody decides your worth, it’s inherent and priceless.

Never give up, never surrender, never give in. Just go for a walk, breath in the air. Walk in the rain if necessary. Walk alone, walk with your girlfriend. Walk with a family member you resent. You don’t need to talk, you just need to be next to them. Walk in the sun walk through the leaves.

Time and nourishment heals all ills, just give it that time. Don’t go on any meds, eat protein and fat ditch sugar and drink water. Get checked for vitamin d deficiency, try to get some magnesium before bed. Small things, seemingly innocuous things, can mean the world and small changes can make a world of difference.

There will be better days. I said that 10,000 times and I’ll say it a million more. There will be better days. Don’t ever write your own ending, let a loved one do it for you when the natural world reclaims your elderly, long lived soul.

Please just give it time. The world needs you more than you could ever know.

They had me because my father has never heard of a condom before and they openly admitted this to me when I was like 15. We were desperately poor until I was about 12 and then after that we were only regular poor. They always had work so I hardly ever saw them with my father working as late as 9PM regularly through my entire life. The 2008 recession hit my family hard and I was pretty much relegated to be background while they struggled to keep the lights on working 2 jobs at a time sometimes. I love them and admire them for that, and I feel selfish to say it, but it left me alone most of the time looking after my brother and sister. When they came home they pretty much just avoided us and watched TV and then went to bed. My father realized at about 16 that he didn’t even know who I was and tried to build an emotional connection with me through fishing but that didn’t work out so good. My mother would come home and take out her anger over her shitty life on me by yelling at me and telling me things like I’m a fuckup and lazy and etc. My father when I was around 10 caught me watching family guy or something and told me something which stuck with me till this day: “we give you just enough rope to hang yourself son.” After that I lived in constant anxiety that I was always in the process of being given rope so that they could punish me later. Basically I never interacted with them unless it was getting screamed at or punished. They both realized when I was around 18 that they had been bad parents and yet they won’t admit it. I have yet to receive a “sorry son” from either of them. The closest I’ve ever gotten to it was an aside from my mother, as casual as if she were talking about the weather, that she used to take out her anger on us. Of course, I had my handful of nice interactions with them here and there but the vast majority was aversion, arguing, and accusing.

Don’t do it anon. Just keep writing, drive that car to a field and scream. Scream until you spit up blood. And then look around you and realize the world is still there for you. The sky isn’t falling. Lie on the ground look at that sky and cry if you need to.

But then get up and tell yourself you’ll do it tomorrow if you feel the same way. That field will always be there, the sky will always be there, the world is within your grasp. The tangible world is all that matters, let go of the ambitions you had that you feel you’ve failed to achieve, do the same for the expectations other had for you, those are intangible and dont matter. What matters is you’re here and you can take one step forward and another after that.

I can’t say your parents love you, who could know other than you or them, but if you feel the need to push them away I suspect you know they do. So hug them. Give thanks and ask them to go for a walk, or to just sit with you. And even if they don’t, do not despair do not give up, drive out to that field and scream and cry and look at the sky until it falls and agree to never give in until it does.

If you write stop writing, journal instead for a while. Never share it. hell don’t even read it. Just write it and move on. Fast for a days at a time, eat a nice steak with salt on it drink water and go for walks. Give your life time, water and sun and you’ll see how it can bloom.

There are so many moments in your life in which it could have ended, even before you were born there are so many moments your parents might not have even met. It wasn’t just luck each and every one of those times, you’re meant to be here. So don’t go.

You’re creating scenarios in your head that don’t apply to the discussion. This isn’t about my mortality, that’s an absurd suggestion. This is about trying to remind people that psycho babble like you’re spewing in an attempt to “own” people online is just as worthless and intangible as unfulfilled expectations and perceived shortcomings.

None of it is tangible. What is tangible is the ground beneath your feet, the sky above your head and the world - the natural world - around you. You’ve armed yourself with words and phrases, without even fully understanding them, in an attempt to lash out rather than accept that simple fact because it would mean that half of the tribulations you’ve weathered have been of your own design and your continued stay in such a prison is self-imposed.

I don't think law school itself will do anything for you if your heart isn't there. You can go and get a degree and all that, but where does it leave you? Is it really going to be a career? A lot of people go to law school and end up doing something entirely different, because it was just something they thought they could do. The reality of law, like other professions, is that it also weeds out people who are not passionate about it.

It is normal at your age to still be looking for yourself, and definitely too early to call it quits.

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

Obviously I only have an insufficient and incomplete notion of what it means to practice law, but I've also always had an interest in reading, interpretation, and argumentation. I love it all.

You're right that I'm not passionate about it. I'm not passionate about anything. But every job I've had I've learned inside and out and taken care to master. I feel that more than anything what I need is something that will provide a productive outlet to pour time and effort into, that I can perceive myself learning and mastering over twenty or thirty or forty years. If any career can lend itself to that, I feel that it must be law.

My parents divorced when I was very young. My dad always told me that she didnt actually love me. She was out of my life for very long periods in my childhood but came back for regular visitation when I was maybe about 9. My dad had many mother substitutes for me, including some long term girlfriends (with whom he had more children) and an older female cousin. They were only marginally involved in my life more so as nannies and would inevitably leave. In my early adolescence my mother became a more prominent figure in my life, acting as a bad influence by offering my drugs and alcohol. This led to a climactic point in my life in which I severed contact with her for about a year. I reestablished contact in my late adolescence.
Anyway, I love burgers.

>Courts have basically said that if an individual in a relationship (read: man) shows any sort of involvement in a kids life they may potentially have to pay child support to the mom if the relationship ends.
>The more money you make, the more you pay (self-explanatory), however, you may also have to pay for the standard of living you created for the kid AND your ex.
>Best interest of the child are basically best interests of the mother.
>Courts have wide discretion to order any amount of support they deem "fit and proper". It has been kind of tempered by child support guidelines, but there have been instances where it was found on appeal to be okay for a judge to depart from them.

What an absolutely fucked up system. What. an. absolute. fucked. up. system. Keep assets separate; Stay common-law (co-habiting); Avoid crazy women; Avoid women with children (only consider if their kids are done college); marriage contracts (pre-nups) may be pretty fucking useless and cant be relied on depending on the status of the woman (lacking assets, a job, no other family to rely on, feels entitled to certain living standards, and has kids are probably the worst you could get yourself involved with).

I don't know the intricacies of Canuck marriage law however I don't think it's odd to have to pay child support. Even alimony is okay as long as it is for a short time.
If a woman does stop working for you or works less, if things fall apart I could see paying for like 12 months a small amount to get her act together.

The issue is divorce for stupid reasons. You should only be able to divorce if both agree or if there's serious violence or a specific breach of contract happening.
And as a society we cannot hover between this feminism on one end and old patriarchal ways of thinking.

Everyone is brainwashed into becoming a work ant like it's the supreme goal of life.
Back in the day, things weren't necessarily better but there was still a sort of game around money that nowadays just isn't even known by the population anymore. It could be said that people's sense of money has become robotic.
Now this capitalism thing has become the worst conceivable form of life possible. Marx was right. Everything about the system exists to produce as many work ants as possible and to churn as much capital from them as possible. I don't even put a moral lense into it. Objectively, this sucks, and you should do everything possible to liberate yourself from wagecuckery.

Which you can fix if you want. Decrease housing being seen as an investment, keep out immigrants, focus on spreading jobs over the country rather than having them all in the city.

It doesn't take a shit load of tweaking, but housing is something that has to be fixed. No housing = no families being started at an early age.

You are still putting this like it's a legislational problem that can be solved with a few more reglementations here, some less policemen there. However, a deeper analysis exposes modern society as diseased to such a degree that it is no longer a legislation problem. I have no hopes anymore that there's anything that can be done to cure the West from the metastazing cancer that currently plagues it. Bad enough the economic situation, what about all the rest?
This is why I promote the construction of homesteads. They are cheaply acquired, if you are truly daring just find some uninhabitated, unused lot in the country and start building. Not to spare on the money but to get in problems with the law and disrespect them.
I too thought back in the day getting property was something you needed to be rich or noble for but the truth is most homes were built by people who just rode up there on their horse and oxen driven chariots and started chopping.
The further the distance between you, society, the state and the capitalists, the better.

Reading modern middle eastern history :
>trouble was brewing as the powerful Hajad leaders rule was increasingly unpopular with the public, wealth generated from oil revenues had led to massive development but also extreme inequality. At the same time Ejekl separatists were plotting a takeover, and religious-ethnic spilled out into bloody clashes on the streets
Meanwhile reading modern Eu history:
>European leaders were divided on issues of currency Corn tax subsidies

When I was a kid I stumbled upon a certain livestream that probably spiraled me into this shithole of a website. I was no older than 7 and watched some guy eating his dead ex-boyfriend's literal ass. Like he had a plate, knife and fork, and he was slicing ass of a murdered man laying on a bed near him, and eating it raw. I later read about that it in some news, he killed his ex because he broke with him and was jealous about his new relationship, but I forgot about it quickly since I was just a child. The memory reoccured to me more often as I got older, and only as I got older I gradually realized how fucked up should have been for my psyche to watch at that age

First impressions are important. Give eye contact and at least pretend youre genuinely happy to meet them.
Personally I dont know how much attractiveness factors in here because im pretty good looking and have a friendly, reassuring face but it helps to just go for a handshake or fistbump and says something like “hows it going bro?”
Tell them your name and ask a casual question relating to the situation or circle youre both in. They arent looking for a best friend, just someone they can be comfortable being around in that moment.
If they are unfriendly and cold you either give off the same vibe or are not giving them enough to work with.

Colder person here. People get unfriendly and cold because you're trying too much more often in my experience. People who do it in response to you not giving enough are more entitled, because most people will assume they're at fault or you just don't want to talk rather than getting to cold or unfriendly just because you put out cold vibes. Cold takes you crossing some boundaries, whether that's their fuck off energy or anon being overenthusiastic

>> No.22716346

>>22716323
I mentioned I'm cold because people aren't cold in response. One thing that does make a room go cold is someone trying too hard. Not all extroverted people have social skills, just like not all introverted people can cope alone. Usually the person who keeps going past the room getting cold is extroverted or desperately trying. Me being cold in the middle of a room won't get that effect because just being a cold person doesn't bother anybody, unless it's someone who wants something from you.

Since March, I've been consistently indulging in depraved mother-son incest fantasies. It started with porn and hentai, then with making my own captions, then with photoshoping my mother's face on pictures, then with using AI tools to improve on the photoshoped pictures.
The first time I finished shoping and captioning one of those pictures, painstakingly altering it for hours, I felt an extreme rush, powerful and confident, completely devoid of any kind of shame or regret. In fact, the only thing I regretted was not doing it before. But as it tends to happen, my intense feelings of malicious euphoria plateaued and soon I didn't feel any kind of pleasure from doing it.
I tried face swap AI technology very recently, and the first time I saw the output I felt something ghastly and sickening twisting with joy inside of me. Like a new world of opportunity laid down for me. A new horizon for my insatiable lust to explore. But this too will plateau, this too will become boring and trite.
And I don't know what I'll do then, there are no barriers left to cross.

From OPs post one would not assume he is just approaching people minding their own business and trying to win them over. He is more than likely meeting people for the first time in a group setting or similar scenario where both parties have mutual desires to introduce one another and OP is more than occasionally coming away from it feeling that they did not like his presence or demeanor.
>“For some reason.” “Maybe its my face.”
He wonders why a presumably normal person doesnt take to him. I offered advice, which again I ask you, was there something I said that makes it seem like I “want something from them” or that I am “trying too hard?” Through my experience I know that what I said is a perfectly casual and friendly way to introduce yourself to someone.

Sometimes people see coldness where there isn't any because they demand warmth at all times, such as the stereotypical positive vibes only women. I don't think you see the irony in the question you're apparently doubling down on, but I think you're taking my words as personal criticism of you rather than the usual explanation for an awkward first time cold silence. Anon is meeting people who feel the need to put up a boundary.

Not appropriate where? A funeral? An SA support group? Then yes I suppose you would be correct.
I think you are taking it too personally, creating your own headcanon for what type of person OP is meeting based on your own personality. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming this is about the average person, not someone like you or even like me. I see the point you are clumsily trying to make but you have made it clear to everyone that this isnt coming from experience but rather a lack-thereof. I expect nothing in return from a stranger and it doesnt affect me in any way if they arent outgoing towards me. I offered basic advice to break the ice and you went off on this odd tangent all on your own. Perhaps you are the one not seeing the irony in your words man.
