What does 'BFL' mean? Boyfriend Lover? Brother-Fin-Law? Best Friend... Lover?

Appearances are deceiving when they're not mendacious, just as errors are unintelligible when they're not false.

Hmm, good guess, that's gotta be it, thanks.

EP is an initialism for extended play. It's shorter than an album or LP (= long play), but longer than a single or P (= play). There's also SLP (= super long play), but I don't think anyone ever uses that because I've never heard it used.

Typically it's what one initially lands on when visiting this site for the first time. I know I did, back in 2011-2012.

There's nothing interesting to do anymore. I'm always asking my friends what they do in their free time because I have no clue what to do with mine. It's always a mix of vidya, movies, eating out, whatever. I'm just so bored.

Try learning an instrument. Or learning to dance. Or getting into woodworking. Or calligraphy, that one is really easy to get into. Or sewing. Or weaving. Or rock climbing, I guarantee there's a climbing gym in your area. Or skateboarding. Or learn Hammer and make Gmod maps based on locations from your dreams. Or get into long-range rimfire shooting, it's relatively cheap but challenging and the skill ceiling is very high.

Analytic metaphysicians see themselves as some kind of cartographers of the world of thought.

The poster who uninstalled Overwatch reminded me of the time I uninstalled League of Legends. Removing the game from your computer won't suddenly develop a motivation to do something else, just manage your time in such a way that the things you want to do are carried out away from the PC. If it's your fun, it's your fun.

I keep struggling with where to put my big story.

I hear that RoyalRoad is for isekai fantasy and sci-fi warfics.

I hear that Substack is for essays.

I hear that Wattpad is for retards.

I hear that Ao3 is for perverts and trannies.

I'm not any of that and this story isn't any of those things. So where do I put it? The more research I do the less certain of anything I get about finding a home for it.

>>24712818
It's a long, sometimes meditative science fiction story set in the far future. The gist of the plot is that the world is ruled from the shadows by a cabal of super scientists with unfathomably advanced technology, technology so powerful it can even alter the world on a metaphysical level. The cast is very big and includes members of the super scientist secret society itself, along with members of two classes of their creations: a cadre of superhuman warriors with healing abilities and retractable metal wings, and, finally, my MAIN main characters, four young people who can each control one of the four classical elements.

It's also a heavily Catholic story with many ideas and aspects taken from theology and the lives of the saints, and the Church plays a role in the plot from time to time.

It's also occasionally told in verse, either like a narrative poem or sometimes in another mode like pastoral poetry or a closet drama.

The plot takes the form of a journey at first, as my four main protagonists leave the falsified world in which they were being raised and escape the scientists' clutches, and emerge into the far future world and try to stay one step ahead of recapture. This takes them all around the world, across many books and other works, in which they see strange sights and grow to adulthood. The latter half of the story I've got planned to be a war, and then a final battle in which the very forces of the cosmos are manipulated by the scientists in an attempt to merge Heaven and Earth and bring about Paradise for all mankind, for all time.

So it's not like a typical story, really, or I don't think so. So I have no idea what to do with it after having struck out over and over with agents and small presses.

>>24712832
Maybe look into what Devon Eriksen did with his novel. He built up a social media presence with his wives (don't ask) in order to have an audience to sell his book to. Maybe you could try to sell to Catholic twitter in a similar way.

why does life have to give me this ironic twist

>>24712364 (OP)
I think I'll never have genuinely close friendships at this point, and I've just learned to accept it. I'm not what you'd expect in that regard. I'm conventionally attractive, tall, I do well in social situations, and I'm generally well-liked in any given moment. But it always seems that when plans are being made, no one thinks to invite me, it's rare to hear from people if I don't reach out first.

No one ever seems to mind if I do, quite the contrary, they're glad to hear from me, they'll say yes if I invite them out far more than no, but it feels like that invitation never comes from the other end. It's a peculiar problem, because it's purely social, I'm engaged, and I never had trouble getting attention from women ever since I was 20. I slept around, I dated, I never had to wait long to find women who enjoyed my company, sexually or romantically. But when it comes to platonic relationships, it's always felt like eventually, people realize there's something wrong with me, and this artificial barrier exists between me and the level of closeness most people experience in their relationships.

I sometimes wonder if it has to do with how I was as a child. I was just never invited to things, and I sometimes feel there's some scent that lingers on me, that others pick up on in time, telling them that I'm defective in a way that I just can't see.

I don't blame other people for it, but it would be nice to know what it is about me that seems to make me so incompatible with social groups

>>24712867
Well I am actually already on Twitter, and very specifically on Catholic Twitter a fair amount, but I don't know how to translate that into readership. I'd still have to have a place to PUT the story and I can't figure out where that should be, because of the problems with the various venues I listed in my original post.

I don't really want to just turn it into an epub and drop it onto Amazon, because I feel like it'll get lost in the chaff of Amazon's enormous library and nobody will ever see it. My instincts tell me that serializing it, and releasing it sections at a time, will help it build up an audience. At least for the first book. And I can use my presence on social media to help that audience grow. But where to do it? Where to serialize it? This is the real question I have to answer.

How can you just hurt someone who trusts you and not even feel bad?

>>24712896
Like I said, find Erikson's account and search through his old tweets to see what he did. Tldr it'll be a lot of marketing and self promotion work.

In terms of where to put it why not your own site?

>>24712832
Put it on substack and make wordpress for it

>>24712908
I actually DO own my own domain, but I don't have anything on it yet. How quickly and easily could I build a simple word processor/blog-type setup? One of the appeals of Substack is just how everything's already built for me. As you might imagine, being a writer and a poet, building websites is not exactly my strong suit.

But I've thought about that in the past, because it would sidestep the problem of self-promotion Substack presents ever since Elon nuked Substack links on Twitter in a fit of pique. I own basically my writer name as a .com domain. I could put the story there. I just need to build something on the domain and get hosting.

Too high to read right now.

I can't seem to fit in with people quite right. I never have. I don't understand everything that happens in social settings and a lot of my successes so far were because I mirrored something I saw someone else do in what seemed to be similar circumstances. When things go well they go okay but when I misunderstand something it blows up in my face.
My most common fantasies aren't about love or sex or getting rich or whatever, they're about getting to be alone. I like to think about wandering into the wilderness in northern Canada or Antarctica and never returning. Climbing unclimbed peaks in a pitch-black night with the moon glinting off the ice covering the rock. Slipping out of my physical body and becoming free to roam the Earth and the sky without interfering. Lately I've been doing this thing where I lie in bed and genuinely try to slip out of my earthly existence, my life, the world, try to drift away to somewhere I fit into better. I've prayed and begged for God to take away my life and give it to someone else who needs it more, or just to kill me and let it be over with. I've even asked demons to take my body and mind, just to relieve me of the burden of being me, but in the back of my mind I know it's pointless. If there are supernatural beings then God is the only one with any power at all and if God exists I am not even my own, I can't give away my body or mind as they are not mine to give. When I drive I eye the concrete embankments by the highway and think about how many problems I would cause for other people if I drifted into one and try to balance that with the relief that would come with it finally being over. When I read about someone with a terminal illness I sometimes say a prayer and ask God to take it away from them and give it to me instead, to let them take my remaining life and make better use of it than I will.
It's all not right. I don't fit in here. I'm a puzzle piece with the wrong shape. I have normal human desires like everyone else and I just want a hug from someone who cares but they're wired to the inside of a shape that magnetically repels other shapes. The wrong polarity.
I hurt all the time and don't know how to feel better and don't really feel like I deserve it either. I've never really been happy and don't know what would make me happy. I'm sick and tired of ME and being ME and thinking about ME all the time and everything wrong in my life being because of ME and if I could just make ME go away maybe things would be better.

I already drink the blood of God Himself every Sunday.

Jesus would often say things like "your faith healed you" or talk about how if you have faith the size of a mustard seed then you could move mountains
I often wonder if he meant that literally. Maybe he quite literally meant that if you wholeheartedly believe you can move a mountain with your mind, then it'll happen

>>24713273
Believe in HIM, not just "believe," period.

I've actually prayed for some pretty incredible things that I think have happened, or started to happen, in the wider world. The trouble is that I've prayed for plenty more things and either not gotten them, or gotten them but in ways that were different than what I originally envisioned.

Prayer is, ultimately, a dialogue with God. When you pray you are speaking to God, and God will, in His own way, speak back to you. Sometimes He'll do it by answering your prayers. Sometimes He'll do it by pointing you to a message that tells you a truth you didn't know before. And sometimes He'll gradually guide you into praying for other things, things you weren't originally praying for. Some of what prayer does is teach you to ask the right questions, and want the right things.

Because ultimately God's Will will be done in the world. Providence. And it is the highest heights of human existence to cooperate in God's Will--even more, participate in His Godhood. So part of praying is learning to discern God's Will, and, in time, for you to pray for things that will be in accord with God's Will, will enhance God's Will, will participate in God's Will.

Because the point of prayer and Christianity is union with God.

Poop on the 'log agin.

I'm afraid of my grandpa dying. He sacrificed a lot to get my dad to where he is and in turned I have had a decent life. His other sons had been incompetent and basically leeching off my dad and him for decades. And now, they can't even seem to be bothered to take care of him properly.
I'm like 40-50% sure that if he were to pass away, it would probably push my dad over the edge to throw his brothers out of my grandpa's house.

Figures, it'd be too good to be true to be able to literally move mountains

Thought reading would knock me out but I'm still awake. Feeling tired but not as tired (?) as earlier for some reason? I gotta get a grip back on my sleep schedule before it gets out of hand again, and that really can't be that case now. I've gotta study for at least an hour tomorrow and take a shower before going downtown for a weekly office training session. I'm gonna sell insurance and there's a lot of personal development and people skills involved. Afterwards I guess I'll hang out for awhile. Might go drop in on the business this girl I've been talking to works at since she's invited me to come visit her at her workplace (I met her on a dating app but haven't met her IRL yet). She's chubby, blonde, a bit goth, and very cute. Anyways I've been reading Lovecraftian short stories all night but it's almost 4 o'clock in the fuckin morning and I'd best be snoozing in a minute here.

overwatch and a decent fap sesh are my only joys in life. fucking around on /lit/ in the morning with my coffee and get listening to an audiobook in bed at night are also minor joys. the rest is just sort of not enjoyable. i'm not one of these people that thinks life has to be fun or whatever, i'm just saying. and yeah, i like reading, but engaging with great literature is different than "joy".

highly grim article about debt levels in the west in the wsj yesterday. debt went through the roof after covid under biden, but trump is doing nothing to cut the deficit. they suggested that the uk will be the first to collapse due to not having a reserve currency and also not being in the eu, but basically all the big western economies have been running on unprecedented deficit spending for the last five years and levels weren't great before that. if u thought the west was fallen now, just wait till the debt crisis hits.

I'm currently listening to One Week by Barenaked Ladies, I may listen to it again after it ends. I'm craving a vanilla coke right now but it's cold and windy outside, I don't drive, and I don't want to walk to the servo. I'm gonna do my flashcards while watching a movie in the background after this. It's gonna be Scooby-Doo Camp Scare, I'm very excited, it's my favourite Scooby-Doo movie :big smile emoji:

>I watch Weapons today.
>I tell my brother.
>He says "Really? I told you I wanted to watch it with you."
>I say "No you didn't."
>He says "Yeah, you said that you wanted to watch it and then I said I wanted to watch it too."
>Every time he's wanted to watch a movie with me, he's said "We should watch X together."

He should've just used his words, I guess. Plus, this is payback for watching Late Night with the Devil without me when I explicitly told him multiple times that I wanted to watch it with him.

One of the most evil things TalmudVision ever did (and is still doing) was propagate this idea of diverse friend groups. And I'm not talking about the token Black, the token Asian (although depending on the setting that's certainly stupid as well), but about the token girl.
The concept that men and women can be platonic friends is a very recent one; and it goes against nature itself. 60 years ago, men had male friends and women had girl friends, they didn't intermingle. That's how it should be. Only women a man should interact with are ones he has romantic interest in or family, and vice versa. The weird thing is that men somewhat get this, it's always men who wants things to be more, and it's always women who go "OMG I thought he just wanted to be friends, I can't believe he wants more. What a creep, I feel so betrayed!".
It's stupid. When a man doesn't go for a woman in friend group there's only three reasons: she's not his type, she's taken (most common) or he's too much of a coward to ask her out. And I'm not saying this because I've read some incel greentext on /pol/, but because I've observed it IRL multiple times.

>>24713607
I'm a guy and one of my best friends is a girl. We're completely Platonic, and we both acknowledge that the other one is good-looking. I know for a fact that we'll both never have romantic feelings for each other as well. How does this fit into your beliefs?

>>24713618
I can neither prove nor disprove that what you're claiming is true or you're just lying to yourself and suppressing your own feelings or can't see the signals she's sending, since I know neither of you in real life, so it would be pointless to argue with you.

>>24713624
Lol, what a coward.

>>24713631
You'd rather go "no it's true" to which I'd reply "yes it is" with no way for either of us to proof the other wrong? That would be pointless. I also did not come here to discuss, I came here to say what I'm thinking, with the slight hope that the truth would maybe wake someone up.

Sure, but I wouldnt fuck her. She's not like my possession, I have a wife: she's my friend and I treat her as such. Same with my animator friend. Does she have big honking boobs? Absolutely, but I'd rather watch anime with her and slam beers with her or her man than give her the sausage.

I didnt say that at all? She likes gundam and drinks beers. Dressed as Quattro for a con. But she's absolutely a lady even if she has good taste in OVA, just like my wife is a lady even if she can do more pullups than most guys and smokes cigars. We just have some shared interests.

Hanging out with the boys is hanging out with the boys, and usually we watch sports or go to a metal show or something. But that's man time, no women allowed.

Im lonely and im being brainwashed by nazi propaganda.
I feel like my perception of reality is distorted but it may be better that way.

Also I stoped to enjoy reading books and that frustates me because it was the only thing that keep distracting my brain from reality but also giving me the illusion of learning. Now its just internet and despair.

I'm serious. She does that F45 shit. We're talking interval circuit training with sets of like 50 burpees and exercises that sound fucked up, like Bulgarian Split Squats and Devil's Press I dont really understand. Runs marathons. And she loves cigars. Prefers the flavoured, as a woman would, but we were smoking Partagas the other day and she vibed. Seems to like cuban ones on the medium light spectrum, but the point still stands.

Oh that's a different issue. No, she's delightfully thick in spite of all the activity, but all women are chronically cold. Not sure why.

>>24713892
The distant hope of discourse beyond (in quality, not transgression) what other online spaces can offer, unrealised yet addictive due in no small part to the erosion of real social spaces, I'd say. Stupidity and weak will, should say.

>>24713907
Right? Most runners are lbw, which makes pull ups more plausible
But all that exercise, remaining thick, and smoking looks like trying to outrun a bad diet and taking your joints out early because you won't put down the fork

>>24713904

She's just strong because she works at it. A hearty german woman capable of giving me strong sons and surviving the winter. It's why I picked her. Well, and she's one hell of a cook but that's beside the point. Bad diet makes sense, but she's trying her best.

>>24713907
Wife. And yes. Not obese but powerful. She went to this like marathon convention in a city a few hours away, and we got a really nice hotel room.

Don't offer digital copies at all. Only move hardcovers. Place copies in thrift stores, book stores (reverse theft), hospitals, in peoples' homes while they sleep. If someone reads them, it was truly meant to be. It's the only way to be sure.

I get a thrill doing things I shouldn't be doing, but I cannot stop. I just know I'm gonna end up with my fingers burned.

I'm constantly switching between feeling like the smartest, most talented person in the world, and the absolutely most incompetent, no in-between.
Maybe I should just ignore it, and keep moving forward. But if I forgo my self criticism, how am I supposed to improve in that which I wish to excel at?

Retard there is a reason why people don't run marathons and weight train to the point of gaining mass. The more mass, the more destroyed your joints are by running. It's worse if it's muscle, because muscle is denser. There's no mythical get out of fucked knees violation of the laws of physics that makes that a good idea for anyone

I don't even understand how normies use it. Do you post? Do you just read a scrolling wall of celebs' and e-celebs' posts? Are they sorted in any way? Isn't that inefficient? Presumably you're following hundreds or thousands of people, and all of them are scum who post on twitter all day, so do you just pray your "feed" at any given time has the interesting relevant stuff as you skim through it..?

>>24714713
I think you should. The structure can be learned from the class, but on the creative side you can get influences from anywhere, and hell it might be more interesting. In my personal experience, the scripts I've felt the most embarrassment about writing were the ones just aping from movies. Not that it can't be done skillfully, but in my experience it was "the same thing, but worse"

Still seems predominantly summery to me, though I've got 3 weirdly perfect, glossy, startlingly orange,pumpkins on vines that already look deathly with age and mildew disease. Combined I bet they weight about 60 pounds, the vines about 15. I planted them next to Sugarbaby watermelon, which was almost completely overpowered ny the pumpkin: Two little orange-size green fruits, very far from ripe, sit cutely nestled in the dense shade some rather mice Hollyhock clusters. One of the nuttiest usages I remember in gardening books is about how cosmos "resents" especially fertile soil.

Halloween is a night.
It's the start of winter and new years in Celtic calendars. It's currently the middle of the harvest season in that calendar, last month being the start. Because the deity to blame for there being divisions (and therefore seasons) is married to the deity responsible for crops, every harvest season he holds funeral games during the murder of his wife (by himself)
After the harvest season ends when Halloween comes you're dressing up as a demon to confuse the temporarily free demons who try to steal the body so his wife can't come back
Tl;dr it's corn doll season

Why do you black?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDd32K-mOVw

It's simple. If you're a writer, you're cool. If you are not, you're not.

>>24714453
I've never understood this line of thinking. Any objective analysis of facts and likely truths since 2016 should make it obvious that the CIA, or at least its entrenched Deep State element, despises Trump. They basically tried to work with the Clintons to stop him. The minute he was elected, they planted the Russiagate hoax to sandbag his administration before it even started. They openly defied his orders over and over in his first term. They funded most of the court cases against him from 2021-2024 through connected interests. The weird details about the Butler shooter, and the fact that the details of that shooting are STILL hazy and incomplete, suggest that they were literally involved in an attempt to KILL Trump.

How do you ingest all this info, and all this very plausible speculation, and then come to the conclusion that Trump is somehow a CIA asset? It's clear to me they hate his guts.

>>24714905
I suck writers off in public toilets for $5 a blow, am I cool too?

>>24714914
oy vey!

>>24714914
The CIA always play both sides, but you know that already don't you.

People say "radical centrism" as a meme but I feel like centrism is becoming actually radical, with the way everybody seems to be losing their fucking minds.

>>24714914
>Trump is the most Israel loving president in forever
>CIA hates him
Doesn't add up. CIA might as well be called Mossad, US. You really think someone whom the CIA hates could get elected again? LOL, not after Kennedy.

I cannot tell if the retarded "miga" "trump zionist golem" phrases used by some types is actual disinfo to undermine or /pol/tards neck deep in their own shit.

>>24714948
Modern day "radical centrism" just refers to complete willfully ignorant imbeciles who think everything is a lie and are obsessed by flat Earth and Tartarian free energy and giants and shit; or it refers to braindead zoomers too plugged into their hyper specific Discord and Tiktok channels (ie flat Earthers) to even hear mention of current events. There are 100% lots of people out there who just don't pay any attention whatsoever to current events and instead focus all their attention on their pet foibles.

>>24714938
No but thanks and I’m sorry about all that I was being a weirdo

>>24713618
Exceptions to the rule only reinforce it.

>>24714957
Trump wasn't SUPPOSED to get elected, remember? He didn't even win the popular vote in 2016. His election was basically a random dude going into a casino and randomly drawing a straight flush that takes the entire house. Everybody was surprised by it.

And frankly, that's probably why the Deep State hates him. Because they didn't plan for him. Because he's a wild card, the Mule from Asimov's Foundation, something that wasn't accounted for in the calculations. That's the thing about him that ticks them off.

>>24714894
I suppose it depends one's standard of season. For me the boundary between autumn and winter is around OCT 31. Significant frosts 2 weeks before are pretty rare, 2 weeks after the usual course, and by Thanksgiving Winter it has pretty much set in. It can get pretty frigid by then, and I remember driving home from more than one family feast when it was around 13F outside.

No one has ever given a definitive explanation for how religious sacrifice arose in mankind. This bothers me. In bothers me so much that I'm losing my hair. I can't sleep. I may kill myself. When and how? Why? What made the first man sacrifice a slab of fat, or goat horns, or berries from the bush?

Religion in the secular sense I can understand. Not sacrifice. What is the social darwinist theory that can explain how sacrifice provided certain social groups an advantage over others? Child sacrifice, yeah, I can understand that it harmed birth rates and demographics, so that nations like Rome could overtake Carthage... Sacrificing cheese? No. I'm going to have to kill myself. Sweet goat cheese, drizzled in Ionian honey. Sweet, wild. Not from the apiary. Sweet honey goat cheese is disgusting. I prefer it better unflavored, perhaps spread on some lettuce and herbs with or portabella mushrooms. The smooth flavor contrasts poorly with honey. Or so I think, I've never done this before, as it sounds like an abomination. But why would sacrificing it benefit the society practicing its sacrifice? Let's say you have a slab of mountain ibex meat from the morning hunt, it's raw red gleam radiating succulent beauty in your eyes. Do you slice this meat, carefully, carefully, carefully, into fine fillets of mountain flesh, flipping it from side to side on a white hot rock by the wayside in the forest noon? Or do take that chunk and chuck to the fire? I don't know why they did the latter at all... My hair is falling out. I may die. But I won't know why.

I once read an excerpt of a travel Memoir on Twitter. In the late 19th century (or the very early 20th) two travelers take a passanger boat sailing through the amazon after descending from the Andes in, I think, Perú. They arrive at a city that had a large Nature preserve, and whren they go to visit it a woman that was riding the boat with them also enters while loudly exlaiming 'Ah, Nature!'. Which puzzled the travelers, because they had just come from the very Jungle.
I have no way to find that story or where it came from anymore. It's just there, marooned in my memory, forever.

Want to find one of those redscare, twitter broads who are racist and have opinions on things but deep down know their place in society. Where does one find a girl like this?

I watched Charlie Kirk die and didn't really feel anything. I feel great sadness for his family and for his loss but the actual moment of death just didn't affect me. I watched him bleed out in five seconds and it just didn't register.

I've actually been far more bothered by death and gore in movies and TV shows. I watched the trailer for that Evil Dead movie a while back and there was something so ugly and grotesque about the violence in it that I couldn't bear to watch the movie. And shit like Game Of Thrones when The Mountain kills Oberyn Martell, I didn't like that either.

I dunno. I just find myself really more bothered by movie and television violence than violence that's real. The dead kids in Gaza don't really bother me either.

What will be the next ploy to distract from the Epstein files?

>>24713607
>and it goes against nature itself. 60 years ago,…
I think you’re wrong about that. Separating the sexes is fairly recent (in terms of human history) and goes against human nature. For most of human pre-history, men and women lived together in close proximity. Maybe men hunted and women gathered but daily life was shared. Children grew up seeing both men and women contribute directly to survival. I think the rigid separation is what fosters mistrust, stereotypes, etc. & feeds misogyny. One English poet said ‘when you separate boys from girls, what you get is homosexuality’ (isn’t that a large part of what misogyny is? not liking women enough)

i’m british, i’ve never heard of charlie kirk. but i just looked him up quickly and after seeing what his face looks like i’m already glad he got killed

I am having a fever, so I get hallucinations, headaches and makes me unable to sleep. It makes me feel so much worse for those who have actual psychosis, dementia or other illnesses. Anytime I feel pain, it saddens me to think that there are, with a great degree of certainty, many more people out there feeling significantly worse. Life seems to be filled with suffering, and I struggle to understand how people are not pessimistic.

I was doing coke alone in my room last week. I bought like seven grams and just stayed awake for three days. It’s happened before but after even a little sleep deprivation I start noticing full on audio-visual hallucinations. I’ve gone four or five days before and was full-on dreaming with my eyes open. It’s worth experiencing just to see how different the world is after finally getting some sleep. I suspect a lot of experienced life is micro-hallucinations. If your brain wants to convince you of something it’s better at it than any external entity. And you know who gets the least sleep? People in important positions. World leaders. The map of the world has been changed by sick men.

He gets killed the day right before 9/11. Totally not significant or anything.

Being asian and seeing other people of my own country sad about a white man getting killed but showed no such sympathies for the 19 people killed in nepal, which is practically our neighbor is incredibly jarring. if that guy was still alive and he interacted with them, he'd call them a chink and them to fuck off.

She wasn’t sure if she was taking the first step of a journey or just thinking about it again, which was more likely. The lamplight caught the path ahead, making everything look a bit stagey, like a bad play. The kind that wobbles if you touch it, and the moment itself played out like on a glass harmonica -- pretty enough, but the slightest shift might shatter it.

It’s good to have been through it once, so you kind of know to suspect things the next time you’re sleep deprived. Obviously it still seems real at the time, but it helps. The first time it happened I had no clue your mind was capable of inventing so much while you’re awake, just fully believed everything I was seeing.

Wondering what Charlie Kirk was talking about when he got merked. Probably about trannies in girls bathrooms or how abortions are bad.

I get to see my brother for the first time in months. I really want to take tomorrow off to chill with him, but he didnt tell me his plans and I didnt submit a vacation request. We'll see how I feel after crushing beers and watching football.

Im reading Camus' Lyrical and Critical Essays
It's such a good book, Camus had such a strong love for life and other people. He never loses hope and always strives for light. He is really intelligent and it is comforting to read writings of such a great mind. I wholeheartedly recommend the book for anons who are looking for wholesome read

I really, legitimately don't think people realize how close America is to people getting shot in the streets.

That's not true. There's more than enough fit, in-shape people, including White people, for serious trouble, especially if the military starts to split.

In fact, one of the things I think people underestimate, relative to our racial makeup, is the potential for ethnic cleansing. I can envision a near future where North America turns into the Balkans on steroids. Racial hate is kind of boiling up.

>anything to distract from the epstein files/clearly a CIA inside job/etc
Somehow all of society has adopted the kind of bonkers conspiracy worldview in which absolutely nothing happens unless a shadowy cabal of Jewish reptilian CIA Freemasons directed it in a smoke-filled conference room under Tel Aviv. It makes rational discussion impossible. Every fucking news story under the sun, no matter what it's about, is a distraction/psyop/MKULTRA black op. I've seen people chalk up earthquakes in fucking Siberia to Trump distracting from the files. This kind of thinking makes discussing real conspiracies impossible as well, since the reasonable explanations ("the politician was assassinated by members of a far right militia funded by an enemy state") get drowned out by stupid shit that got popular ("the politician was assassinated by the jews because he had info about hillary's laptop even though he has never been associated with america and we know because he made an instagram post that kinda resembles this /pol/ shitpost I saw").

what does your rant have to do with using a fact checking tool?

>>24716861
>fact checking tool
But it's fucking not. It's a very high-dimension statistical prediction algorithm. There is no thinking happening when you ask it something and it is not doing anything to check the veracity of the info it spits out. All it's doing is generating output based on training weights.
And my problem in particular is with people who talk to it constantly and take the sycophantic way most LLMs jerk the users off as signs that they're geniuses. Like they'll get dunked on in an argument and say some shit like "oh yeah well chatGPT told me i was right and that i was smarter than most people besides" and act like they won the argument. It's asinine.

Your autism is powerful enough to detect that 99.9% of people are retarded but not yet powerful enough to realize that yelling about it is still predicated on the unconscious and erroneous belief that calling out their retardation with sufficient passion will make them any less retarded. This is a plateau that destroys many proto-autists with high potential. You must make the final abstraction, you must realize that these people are running on such different software that even if you got them to listen and realize your point for a moment they'd still come back the next day and be doing the same old retarded thing all over again as if it never happened, and three new retarded things besides.

Anytime I feel like I have an idea or a vision worth recording or being molded into some form of art, it dissipates the moment I try to reach for it. True artistry must lie in the capacity to make obviously present but functionally intangible things tangible rather than with this plebeian idea of artists seeing things others cannot, as if they were shamans.

Paralegal or notary is probably cheaper and closer to what you want

Just had to break to my cousin that her uncle died, and now she, in turn, will have to tell my paternal grandmother that her son died. I didn't even know that she was still alive, I had hoped that she wasn't, my grandmother, I mean. Having your child die before you, I can't even imagine what that feels like. And I had to do this via e-mail no less. He died almost 3 months ago but apparently no one informed them, I thought the notary who contacted me did, but apparently not, and my cousin only now contacted me and asked me if I had any idea of what happened to her uncle, it seems that they used to have regular contact.
It's very sad, I hope they stay strong.

The latter idea is the right one. Robert Graves said poets are just people who think a certain way. The ancestors of poets are the peculiarly gifted witch doctors or priestesses who would induce a sort of self-hypnotism and utter an oracle.

I really just can't think of a future for myself at all. People say improve yourself but there's genuinely nothing I want to improve. And I don't see a point in any improvement. I just really don't want to be alive. I don't think anything can make it better at this point

Why don’t you take off the mask?

as i am approaching 27 i've begun to take my health seriously for the first time. i only drink water, i walk every day, i don't do any drugs, i quit sugar and processed food, and much more. despite this, there hasn't been a real rise in the quality of my health or life. this is to say, if i took out a metaphorical balance beam now and weighed the cost-benefit analysis of these habits with how much they benefit my happiness, it would come up squarely in the negative. maybe it will improve 1 month from now, or 6 months from now, but let's put that aside. the universal argument for a healthy, sober lifestyle is that you will feel better, and i just want to say that this is wrong. it's a weak argument. maybe you get runner's high. maybe you feel better. maybe you secretly loved the taste of vegetables all along. a lot of us don't. so many addicts relapse because it's never better than the drug. and the ones that don't relapse are forever coping, trying to delude themselves that cycling is equivalent to a full-body dopamine dump. what is my point here?

i believe a truly healthy lifestyle naturally leads back to religion. or rather, you can't effectively argue a person should be healthy unless religion is involved. because in this secular age, we can only argue in terms of hedonism, and without religion sobriety & good health doesn't offer that much. maybe YOU enjoy it, but there are so many people who have tried cardio & hiking & reading & "hobbies" & fruit smoothies & yoga, and they just fall right back into their old ways because they don't enjoy this stuff. yeah friendship is enjoyable, having a family is enjoyable, but nothing in sobriety can really truly compensate that hole hedonism fills except for religion.

>>24717274
eating natural foods is obviously the healthiest thing for your body. but i don’t think it’s necessarily good for the mind. in nature we didn’t have temptations like fast food or cocaine, so there was no need for discipline. actually discipline is an unnatural thing and therefore it must be unhealthy on some level.

>>24717302
people will disagree but you're right on some level. the show the biggest loser was infamous for having obese people lose dozens of pounds only to gain that all back once they left the show. it's not personal failings that caused them to regain the weight but rather the immense stress of having to exercise an intense degree of willpower every day, it damages the body. this is true for everyone who exercises a large amount of willpower every day like recovering addicts, it's not healthy. it's recalibrating the body to naturally prefer what's best for it that we also want.

So do you guys think the Charlie Kirk assasination will have major repercussions?

>>24717316
this is unrelated to my original point, but i think fat people (to a degree) might be healthier. if you really think about it, the skinnier a person is, the angrier and stabbier they seem. the skinnier you get, the weaker you get - mentally.
think about what fat is, it's a layer of protection around your body. these physical features affect your mental. why do people get fat in the first place? they've had trauma and start eating, their subconscious is like 'you can't hurt me now'.

>>24717352
So you think those Gazan children should be raped by the Jews instead?

>>24717302
>we didn’t have temptations like fast food or cocaine, so there was no need for discipline
Nah in nature the juice is generally worth the squeeze. The problem with processed foods isn't that humans lack discipline, it's that for thousands of years, discipline is what got you the processed sugary goodness. If you have to actually hand whisk the egg whites for meringues with a fork, humans still eat meringues. Chewing coco leaves is enough for most people they never get to processed cocaine.
The problem is when you have all of that processing done by labour saving devices or servants. That's when the barrel of brandy peaches finishes you off.

>>24717353
You're supposed to get fat in winter and burn it off in summer

>>24717391
like an oil change.

>>24717388
meringues, brandied peaches, even coca leaves - all of that already assumes agriculture and some form of processing. agriculture is a recent thing in human history, for millions of years we were hunter-gatherers.
sugar tastes the best to us, but that’s fine because in nature it only exists in small quantities, in honey, or fruit (which was much smaller and less sweet than modern fruit). discipline wasn’t necessary, the environment itself imposed limits.

i was looking up stuff about japan's approach to drugs the other day and why their laws are so strict. i kinda assumed it was a traditional thing, but it actually only started in the 1950's when soldiers brought home meth from the war and they had 3 million tweakers within a few years, leading to them making recreational drugs super illegal. and before that they didn't care. then i realized recreational drugs weren't really a thing until the past 70 years. and even the sweets they had pre-1950 or so were like cake, so fatty and dense that you couldnt really binge in the same way. if you think about it the average person back then had a level of sobriety which is rare in our current society

It was kind of the only thing he had going on. He did it, his friends did it, he made his money this way, his property was bought for this purpose, his interpersonal relationships were defined by his status as a procurer, his career most definitely too.

>>24717464
The thing about opium and sugar is the more your process them, the longer the shelf life and the further you can ship them, so sugar and opium is an early cheap shelf stable good at the opening of steam travel and manufacturing. Much harder to grow vegetables or anything with nutrients in it by steam power though
The problem was mostly the English had just gained a lot of poppy fields and China wouldn't sell England tea except for silver, so England decided to let their Scottish opium smuggler friends get China hooked on drugs
That's also why Hong Kong exists

I never wanted things to be like this for us.

>>24717506
Opium still works. The guy who first made heroin did basically nothing with it, because they already had morphine and syringes and that's all you really need for a lot of medicine, especially when you can get basically a sweet mix of codeine and morphine from the local chemist without prescription at the age of five
What really kicked the original Chinese opiate epidemic into high gear was when the English church thought heroin was a good way to kick opium, and started sending missionaries handing out heroin to cure the addicts

>In this fresh, original analysis of Marxist thought, Cornel West makes a significant contribution to today's debates about the relevance of Marxism by putting the issue of ethics squarely on the Marxist agenda. West, professor of religion and director of the Afro-American studies program at Princeton University, shows that not only was ethics an integral part of the development of Marx's own thinking throughout his career, but that this crucial concern has been obscured by such leading and influential interpreters as Engels, Kautsky, Luk?cs, and others who diverted Marx's theory into narrow forms of positivism, economism, and Hegelianism.
