I had a literary gf for a while but still felt lonely. It doesn’t matter if I’m with friends, or family, or even with girls I like.. I’ve realized that I prefer to be with alone, because the loneliness brought on by solitude is less painful than the loneliness that comes with company. There are periods when I forget how disappointing my fellow human beings are. I seek them out only to be disappointed again.

German literature might just be the only literary tradition I am aware of that has a clear, unbroken downward trajectory from beginning to end. It begins with massive bangers like the Nibelungenlied, the minnesängers all sorts of cool shit, undergoes something of a crisis in the late middle ages, then stagnates in the baroque for a good century before completely shitting the bed with the enlightenment and never really recovering, not even with the popularly beloved romantic era. Even the English have a better literary tradition, as embarrassing as it is to say.

I will make an end to the faggotry in the European parliament, faggotry is too nice a word, the insult these 'politicians' are doing to our rich history and culture. This stupid decadence will be put to dust and mingled with it. I will found a new Empire in Europe and exile all the immigrants and publicly execute the ones who engaged in crimes, the filthy Arabian animals who stole the Dresden White Diamond will receive an especially gruelsome treatment and all the diplomatic relations with Arabia will be closed and war declared to this country.
I will make Europe great again.

Converted to Christianity when I was 18/19. Been trying to live a good life. Chaste, modest, devout. But lately I've been experiencing these weird moments where I suddenly realize I'm spending friday in a room full of people in hypnotic prayer when all I really want to do is fuck bitches and chug beer. It's tough though, because I became religious during a very hard and difficult time in my life. I was in such a low point and the only people who expressed any kind of kindness or sincerity to me were Christians. They really are loving and supportive, much like a family I never had. While I've really internalized the values and standards Christianity teaches, the lifestyle doesnt satisfy me. I'm torn between living a shallow and pointless life of hedonistic indulgence and a spiritual and meaningful life which bores me.

Have you read Augustine's Confessions?

Keep in mind that hedonism becomes very very boring after 30, and I know no young person can believe this when they hear it, but the craving for sex becomes less intense too. Patrice O'Neal has a good bit about aging as a man and the perversion going from a craving or impulse to being just something you can enjoy, like sitting on a bench at the mall and ogling women at Footlocker.

I don't have a lot of money.
Every week, I'll buy a pack of pork chops, about 3 dollars. I'll cut them into strips, along the grain, smother them with seasoning, habanero, garlic, and lime, let them marinate, and then sear them like beef fajitas and throw them on a tortilla with cheese.
It's not a Michelin-starred meal. I don't expect it to be. For 3 dollars, though, it's quite nice. I forced myself to learn how to cook meats and now that's what I do, I go home and eat my mediocre food because it's what I can afford.
My friends say it's pretty good. It's good enough if you're poor and stagnant.

If you have an out of body experience but can't control it there's no guarantee you'd see the placed object. What if your OBE connects you to some other plane entirely, or another place or time on this earth? Your thought experiment doesn't account for that, unfortunately.

I had a psychiatrist appointment today. We were talking about medications and whatnot when the topic of kids came up; she said she had kids at 35 and 39 respectively. Being the slick sausage I am, I said that I would never have guessed she was that old, and she was thrilled. Titilated even. She always gives me free samples of this very expensive medication that I'm on because my perscription coverage is shit. I think I'm going to bring the whole office doughnuts and coffee when I go pick up my next batch of free mood altering drugs.

The fact Mrs Eszter introduced the train to the town is a huge plot point I stupidly missed the first time around. She represents the Machiavellian “grifter” esque view of power where it’s only goal is to secure more power.

I was reflecting. On what metric do I measure my sense of self-worth? In the end I concluded that I measured my sense of worth on perceived intelligence and intellect. “That guy might have a nicer car or whatever, but at least I’m smarter and more cultured than this troglodyte. Does he even know what the 100th Monkey Effect is? Does he have the slightest idea of what Mesopotamian culture was like?” You get the idea. And I suppose this relates to David Foster Wallace’s say on this: everybody worships. If you worship intelligence, you’ll feel like a retarded fraud your whole life; if you worship strength, you will feel weak, always. So, what is the solution? Worshipping nothing? Or just come to terms with your personalised object of worship and go on with your life? I won’t pretend to bear the answer to such a question. I just thought it up this morning.

Goku lay in his crib, helpless and frustrated. The passionate sounds of the couple's lovemaking in the next room were almost too much to bear. A chastity belt had been secured over Goku's diaper, so he was unable even to relieve his pent-up arousal. He just had to lie there and bear it.

Suddenly, he realized that wasn't all that he would have to bear.

*BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAPP--SPLUUUUUUUUUURTTCCCHHHH*

It was over before it had even begun. Goku had shit his diaper, the rancid smell filling the room. And he was unable to remove his diaper or change himself, due to the chastity belt.

Tears streamed down Goku's face. He had defeated Frieza, and was reduced to this? But he had no choice. If he didn't want to have to lie there in his own shit for who-knows-how-long, he was going to have to beg. Swallowing his pride, Goku turned toward the wall to the next room, from which he could still hear the bed creaking as the occupants made love.

"B-BEJITA-SAMA, I-I NEED MY DIAPER CHANGED AGAIN!!" he wailed.

The bed stopped its creaking, and Goku could hear the couple groaning.

"Your wife can do it after I'm done with her," came Vegeta's reply. "I'm still not kissing her, though."

I really just want to live in a nice house. I grew up constantly moving and living in small rental home after small rental home and I crave stability and a home I can actually call home.

I've been fucked up these past 4 months or so, I've felt like this before but this time it isn't ending. I suppose this is what you might call 'an existential crisis' I'm losing my grip.
Am I actually engaging with real problems? Is there something I'm going to solve or is this a completely recursive process. Kind of seems that way because I'm doubting absolutely everything, my intentions and motives, my perceptions, my past. I'm not even reading that much philosophy, but what I think had instilled this ability in me was reading Kierkegaard about a year ago. At the time when I read him I actually had a physical reaction, physical paralyses, and developed a stutter for a day (completely true). I had just started a new job a couple months ago and I just find it annoying and I'm around people all the time (customer service). So I get home and do nothing and am just feeling awful and anxious and insane, just thinking and doubting and fearing the whole time while consuming copious amounts of tea and cigarettes.
BUT I do believe I've found the solution gentlemen. I'm going to embody the cowboy. Righteous but not goody two shoes. Has sex, has fun, but is also capable of noble martyrdom and other heroism. Action orientated, nuanced but not pedantic. He's a good guy. Not the best but God's going to have to forgive me for copping out I'm not capable of finding another solution sorry God, I will be a good cowboy.
I want simply let my existential mind sit, accepting the uncertainty, and I will enter into the world and just look around me, and see what I should do. (Cowboy is analogous obviously ((unfortunately)) I probably wont be gun slinging, but you get the idea).
Yes I'm aware I'm cringe and stupid but I actually have been feeling like shit so I'm just putting this out there. Any advice on the "Cowboy" idea? That's a well lived life right?

Hope for old age is the only thing that keeps me going. I have never gotten along with young people. Never! I have only ever been respected and understood by people over 50. It is only when I am over 50 that I will be a true person. Young people have too much false hope, they aren't realists, they are too transactional. Older people are free, they are beyond that. Do you see old men in locker rooms? They don't care. I don't want to care. I just have to wait, one day all this toiling will be worth it. I will be free.

For the past 10 years, I've had basically no emotions (like the kinda shit you feel on antipsychotics). As you can expect, this has ruined my life. When you don't care about anything, your career falls apart, you become a NEET, 0 social life, and even suicidal.

But I think I found a loophole. There is one thing that makes me feel things -- the ego. When people compliment me, I actually feel something. When I look in the mirror, I can be filled with boundless optimism, trembling anxiety, or hopeless despair based on how I look. Normally I avoid mirrors for that reason. But actually, triggering emotions of any kind seems to be a good thing. If you feel good, it's great! And if you feel like shit, well, you can use that feeling as motivation to improve.

When you feel no emotions all the time, you lack even the desire to change. Feeling like shit is often better than feeling nothing at all.

People won't be encouraged to commit real violence but I do think they are shaped to be more irreverent about life and existence through this kind of consumption

The drunken Janos hosts a dance at the local bar with many of the local patrons. They all pretend to be planets and stars. The dance ends with the bartender kicking them all out so they go outside and violently throw up. Janos walks home recounting to himself his own life growing up there. They all think he isnt aware they mock him and insult him by agreeing to his ludicrous dances but he is well aware of it. He is 35 I believe it says.

Maybe back in 2004, right now over 70% of GTA "fans" only play it for the online.

If anything that's good. Death is right around the corner, entering our lives sooner than we expect. A society that conceals death is unhealthy

Maybe. I have an interesting experience in that my dad is successful and wealthy while my mom is trailer trash. I've been in nice houses in good neighborhoods around wealthy and professional people while eating steaks every night. And I've been with my mom, surrounded by toothless tweakers and bloated alcoholics, scraping by in poverty and squalor. I can tell you from my experience, the nice house makes a huge difference.

I try my hardest to be nice and honest but sometimes I just let things go too loose. I lied to two people about my personal feelings towards them today to make them feel better. I don't think it is moral to lie but I just don't know what to do when people rub their feelings in my face and call me their best friend or say shit like 'I would kill for you, no questions asked'. Man I schizo post on 4chan, not in your big fucking ears and that's mostly because I don't trust anyone with my true thoughts, so why would you think that? Why are you making things difficult for me and being open like that. I of all people don't deserve that kind of trust. I'm a bastard, the bastardest guy that ever roamed the earth and I probably talked shit about you behind your backs more than a hundred times. I will probably do it again on 4chan or with a girlfriend that I will also betray one way or another. I would absolutely eat the last piece of chocolate in my fridge and say there were none if you came over craving chocolate. I would say your newborn baby is ugly to your face and laugh about it if I had the chance. I would also get away from your stinky ass and never tell you if you stank because you got mad the last time I told you. I would do these things. Keep that friendship of yours for someone who will love you. Thanks for reading my blog niggers

The mold also undermines your ability to face challenges. Too much adversity takes up all the potential time the organism has or just kills it. Too little adversity causes decay.

Yesterday I had read a transcription of a Jungian podcast. The topic was about love and how it fits in a Jungian view. It's something I've been really enamored by since I got into depth psychology. The things required to be able to romantically love and accept another are quite the obstacle. Like everything in the Jungian view it requires patience and work. So much work that it sometimes feels too grand to accomplish, but then I remember I have a whole life to live.

The hardest thing for me right now is with the dillema of love. I have such a demand for it that sometimes it can get in the way of what I want. There are feelings and demands as a child that weren't met, and it's easy to allow the unconscious to place those on others, sometimes it can be too much for me to realize.

My gf had said something (as usual) to trigger a feeling of undesire, a common feeling felt with my Mom. Something said about wanting someone to play with her hair. Reading that text was devestating, a simple phrase said in a state of delirium from immuno-compromised sickness. Someone?

The rememberance to stay in touch with the soul and what these feelings are for the ego is a resilient creature to tame. People are people, and there's nothing to change that, nor is my happiness reliant on that. But still. I feel these things for a reason and I try my best to stay self sufficient. Too often do these things upset me and make me wonder if my abilities to traverse individuation are up to snuff. I guess getting burnt down from words of another show my progress, and sometimes it feels like it's always been stuck at the first step.

Idk, these things make me feel so underdeveloped and I wish there were someone to help guide me through these difficult actions and feelings. It's so hard to accept people for who they are, and in the Jungian model that reflects back to me, but I feel a sense of acceptance of my own faults and desires. Or maybe I don't.

Yeah you're right, people have their issues everywhere, but I'm telling you that the issues in my nice upper middle class suburb are way less than those in the trailer park. At the very least I can go outside for a stroll without worrying about getting shot. I've left my car unlocked or the windows open in my neighborhood by accident and nothing happens. My mom bought a car with money she made in a frivolous lawsuit. It was stolen in a week. There is a very real quality of life difference in different areas. My dad makes grass fed steak every night. My mom subsists on a diet of canned hotdogs. There are degrees of dysfunction. I spent half of last year in some dilapidated shack in the middle of a nigger infested ghetto trying to help my mom get stable. I walked into the bathroom and fell through the floor into the crawl space. There were cockroaches everywhere. Whole house was falling apart. She was only able to live there because the landlord was a 90 year old man she could take advantage of. Dont feel bad for him because he was a pedophile. He offered to show me pornography on TV.
So yeah I mean people in my dad's nice suburb might have their own little personal issues but holy shit man I'll take a neighbor on anti depressants while I lay poolside sipping mimosas over the ghetto any day.

The entire idea of section 8 housing is a result of your braindead attitude where it's assumed people are inherently better off if you give them material comforts without needing to work for them. Housing projects already manufacture the fat blobs from Wall-E. If projects were more luxurious that wouldn't help anyone.

Upgrading the trailers in the trailer park to luxury trailers wouldn't reduce the issues the trailer park has, it would likely add on to them and make people more content with not doing anything to solve those issues.

The people in the trailer parks and ghettos are there because they're genetically shitty people. Your cause and effect is mixed up. My brothers got to grow up in a nice upper middle class life like me. They got my mom's shit dna and ended up in poverty and squalor and the grave. Thats why upgrading social class uplifts quality of life. Yes, everyone has personal problems. TThat is true. But like I said, the neighbor who takes anti depressants or the neighbor who drinks a 12 pack on friday after work (literally me) is much preferable to the retards and psychos and freaks who land in the ghetto.

Straight A students dont get good grades because they care so much about the subject. They get good grades because they have a work ethic.

I get that. But if you don’t know what specific thing you want to be successful in, maybe you should just choose to be successful at any thing.

This is not inconsistent with anything I said. They don't want to be challenged and embrace the decay because it's easy. The genetically superior Aryan embraces the kind of adversity that helps him improve.
The reason you don't understand anything I say to you is because you're genetically inferior. If you train with discipline and embrace the challenges that you're able to overcome you might one day be as capable as me when I was 8 and taught myself programming on a computer from a dumpster.

It started with accidentally watching a video years ago and being shocked that I was turned on. Then I found one who was consistently attractive and piqued my curiosity with their OnlyFans videos. Then I would alternate between normal porn and their porn, only nutting to the normal girls. Then I started nutting to them as well. Then I started watching their videos without having to open other tabs of normal women.

The hypocrisy of mankind at large is so indescribably fucking exhausting.
It seems that any person that prescribes to any collective identity is a hypocrite on at least some level.
The amount of hypocrisy, double-think, and cognitive dissonance in society at large genuinely makes me not want to participate. Dozens of times a day I find myself making mental notes of hypocrisy from all manner of places, and each one is the mental equivalent of a punch to the gut. I could walk them off if they came in more sparsely, but as it stands my metaphorical abdomen is pulverized into hamburger.

Loneliness and dissatisfaction are chipping away relentlessly at the armor of vapid mundanities, that I'd been performing with a dedicated fervor not unlike those rites you train for at a religious procession. I wake up. I do the things. I cook, clean, eat, consume, create, and function. I procure a long litany of small gratitudes to keep the mounting distress at bay.

It would be one thing to be sick of a present reality and to know full well what alternative would remedy such soul sickness. But connection is, I am not convinced, not a cure to the void inside me. I have existend around people and with people, and still felt the loneliness deep and simmering inside my bones. And nothing could alleviate its impact. Not religion. Not passion. Not creation. It's like I'm ambling around with both arms severed trying to wave. Something that should be there is not. And I don't know what it is.

I recently confessed to one of my best friends that I was romantically interested in his sister. I have a good relationship with her, and she’s admitted to having feelings for me as well, but my friend, naturally, doesn’t like it at all. He’s been very understanding towards me and is willing to overlook all that has happened with the caveat that I sever all communication with his sister. I agreed, but I’m admittedly starting to grow a little resentful. His sister is also aware that she’s not allowed to speak to me either, but she recently texted me saying that she can’t stop thinking about me and that she needs me personally to tell her to leave me alone. I chose not to respond since my friend told me to ignore her if she did reach out. I really want to talk to her but at the same time I don’t want to go against my friend’s wishes. I’m considering talking to him again about this arrangement but I don’t know if it would be appropriate since I’m sure it’s very uncomfortable for him. I really care about his sister, but I also want to preserve my friendship with a life long friend.

Black people are like 13% of the US and look like 50% of the trailer. On top of that they already had a black gta game. Also, it didn't look like 'parody' the twerking and shit, it looked like genuine pandering.

I get that it's silly for the right to be upset about it but it is quite blatantly race based pandering bordering on propaganda. It's just as silly for you to care about people saying "stop forcing this racial propaganda down our throats", like why does it matter to you so much to defend it? Also just as abhorrent to leverage race to sell your videogame in the first place.

I don't care about the racial aspect but I care about the political aspect/stance of doing it. Politics has ruined everything and people like you let it seep into videogames because 'it's for a good cause'

I don’t think he has a good reason other than the fact that he’s just simply uncomfortable with a close friend being intimate with his sister.

I'm not at home but I can show you videos/webms of florida during spring break.
It looks even worse than in the trailer. At least in the trailer they're not mega obese.
And what is the propaganda? Black people twerk on cars and do rowdy shit like donuts with their cars? That literally happens!

The reason I bring it up is because conservatives think they're doing anything by instantly going on 4chan/twitter to WHINE about the trailer. The average person is hyped for the game, they look over and they see this supposedly serious political wing whining over black people on the beach in a video game. And shouldn't you be relieved that none of the playable characters are black? Maybe we'll get some left wing faggot to whine about that. Cause God knows that's what people want to hear.
>Politics has ruined everything and people like you let it seep into videogames because 'it's for a good cause'

Worshipping nothing sounds like a mechanical life. I think the key is to worship something truly good but remaining humble in the face of it. Its cool to think intelligence is a good metric for success. Its the feeling of superiority in your success and inferiority in your failure that causes you pain. In other words its not just what you worship (though that is part of it) but also how you worship. Ya dig? I'd like to add that I think that your move is crucial to getting to a better way pf worshiping in that it acknowledges the existence of other paths.

It all depends on execution. GTA's quality has always been, outside of its gameplay which hasn't changed that much, their balance of caricaturing of a culture and their execution of a good story around it. The over the top cartoon feel balanced by people, places and events that feel real, all while being able to do sandbox type dicking around when you get tired of that shit. I don't think much can be judged by the trailer except brute facts about it like setting and that it is coming out at all.

It’s hard to figure out just to what degree student loan debt should be avoided. On one hand, there are people who are hopelessly and miserably buried in debt so badly that they will even kill themselfes. On the other hand, big loans pay off for some people big time and seem to light a fire under their ass to really succeed. So it’s like for the average person, debt is obviously a disaster in general but for smart people is it a good idea?

Regarding student loans, yes. If a person is smart, knows he is smart and actually wants to study some actually useful fiels irl (not philosophy, not african studies etc) and has a plan then student loan is the right choice.

There's just something so neat about miniatures. "look how tiny this thing is!" I just like it. Those sets are about 3x the size of the sets I usually buy, but they're much easier to put together.

I was just thinking how in movies miniatures are like, an "autistic" hobby, where only weirdos like them, but I never really trusted that, and now that I make them myself, I really wonder about it.

Do you ever have those days where you shuffle around your home, aimlessly?
Sure, there maybe things I can do. But none of them come to mind. I draw blanks. Instead I waltz around with no purpose, no meaning, occasionally cleaning up something or doing dishes. Nothing serious. Nothing meaningful. Just a quick spot of busy work. Perhaps I lack "the will" that the pretentious German philosphers espouse so glowingly. Perhaps it's just a case of ennui. Regardless of the reason, though, I've Nothing to Do. It sounds so trite and simplistic, like I'm a bored child.

Depends what you mean by historian. If you mean tenured professor then slightly retarded because the job market is so bad and probably going to get worse. You would have to have a PhD from a very high level institution, very high quality work, and ideally a very trendy topic (not always easy to predict, and often soul-crushing if you are only doing it just because you "should") if you want to have a shot at a job. That's for North America anyway.

I recommend diversifying heavily. Learn your research languages very well and very early, and gain other soft and hard skills that are easy to tack onto your research or otherwise do on the side, so that you can do more than just pursue postdocs and adjunctships when it's time. For example get an MLIS or some kind of teaching credentials and teaching experience so you can go work at community colleges and private high schools and at least have a shot of the higher paying, less soul-destroying ones (that probably pay on par with mid-tier professorships at this point).

Also if you study a pre-modern period you are more fucked. Modern is way easier to spin as somehow relevant to other jobs than medieval or classical or even renaissance or early modern.

Also I strongly recommend you request to audit or take graduate classes during undergrad and go to any regular graduate and faculty workshops you can so that you can get a taste for whether you even like postgrad level research. You may find that the kinds of people who do it and the topics they write on are both not what you had in mind when you wanted the study the subject.

October 19 2008

I entered my highschool class with a look of confidence and a , correct amount , of arrogance. It was Monday and raining I think. I greet my teacher Mrs Ashley. She was quite the gorgeous lady, for someone six months pregnant. I could see a quite noticeable bumb underneath her white dress that was complimented by red polka dots. This synchronized quite well with her red hair and light green eyes that gazed into my souls. If she had freckles I wouldn't have hesitated to rape her infront of the class room.

She taught us mathematics. I'm terrible at math.

That was me. I have a really good memory and I'm an auditory learner, so during lectures in highschool I'd always be stoned as shit and generally a nuisance arguing with the teacher and doing dumb shit. Worst part is I still got good grades despite most teachers hating my guts and taking every opportunity to fuck me over. I only went to university because my Creative Writing teacher found out the other teachers were conspiring to give me a 79% average out of spite, and he gave me a 99% to help me out. Thank you Mr Frawley, you're a true hero.
