I'm drinking this shit today: it's sickly-sweet and I just can't be bothered with anything outside a three-foot radius of myself, today. Just listening to music and ignoring all the fucked-up sphere beyond.

Reluctantly posts

Life's generally been going great. Yet, I'm feeling a bit uninspired and listless as of late. How do (you) get your mojo back? I like a long, long walk for this purpose but since I moved to the city it's not nearly as nice.

>>24803061
I read books
works for me

>>24803062
In a mojo-less state it's a coin toss for me. As likely as not to be sitting there "turning pages" rather than reading, no matter how much I focus. It's like it just doesn't go in.

Having eczema sucks. You wanna scratch that part of your body but you shouldn't.

>>24803107
I have it in my hands. They both scratch each other like good brothers. Sometimes I scratch them while driving and can barely handle the wheel. I sleep with gloves. Some creams help; other make your skin addicted and before you know it you get an itch because your hand needs corticoids. Scratching feels so good because you know it's wrong but past a certain point it just feels shameful and then your scars start bleeding and you have to stop and clean yourself and think about what you have done. They say some adults just happen to develop eczema at some point in their lives and it may never go away.

I miss you and I don’t know how to stop.

>>24803143
I miss you too (´ε｀)

The backlash against 2020s Zoomer Puritanism is going to be dope as hell, I can’t wait

>>24803178
Puritanism can't end until social media does. It's what keeps everyone locked in this self-imposed panopticon.

I was thinking about adding Sally Rooney to my reading list but is she actually good, bros? Normies hype her up but even outside of /lit/ I've seen some commies I know stop reading Intermezzo because they thought it was bad so now I have my doubts

>>24803178
I think you mean leftist zoomers compared to older generation of leftists. Because zoomers in general aren't even that puritan.

That better be a chick.
The end.

I guess I just wasn't made for these times

tired of this shit, I want to be unemployed once more

Didn't know Claire Keegan got this much recognition over the years, but I'm so happy she does. It seems /lit/ just didn't catch up on her yet, which is sad, because it means that the /lit/bro isn't even up to date with what the book market has to offer.
>>24803369
I've only read Normal People.
Sally Rooney's idea of communism is very whataboutist, so it feels like virtue signaling. The incipit was generic, male readers might think it's basically a romance novel disguised as a litfic.
But the depiction of depression was *chef's kiss*. Too bad it lasts half a dozen pages in total and it's the only good thing in the book.
I would not recommend.
>>24803178
The backlash to Zoomer Puritanism won't happen because it already morphed into Thiel&Co. authoritarian ramblings.
If anything, that is what will be hit by the next swing of the political pendulum.

I'm reading a book right now, and it's just not attacting my attention. I want to drop it but it's a sort of sequel to a book I really, really enjoyed and I don't want to miss out on some extra lore or the author writing something as good as his previous book further into the story.

>>24803518
Lol I wasn't talking about communism anon. I meant even people who aren't prejudiced against her find her book boring, I know she writes romance/lit-fic. But you're saying she's shit so, I guess I'm skipping her then

I finally went over to the dark side and played with sloppa even more, and of course I've been doing my best to have text2img generate all my fetishes, so I double check my prompt like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYwGKcUF63A&t=40
and then I press gen and it almost looks like it finally worked but she's got three left arms coming out of the same elbow and there's an eyeball in her nose. I fucking HATE it so much. I say a FIT girl AND a PETITE girl, no, they're both fit, I don't want them more fit I want one to be bigger than the other. I tried rearraging the words in every possible way, nothing, it doesn't get it, if I told this to a person he'd be like, yeah, fuck man, I get it, right? and one is wearing black lace and the other white lace? YES my man, OF fucking COURSE you understand this on the fly, because you're a fucking human being, and obviously I don't even have to explain this shit to you, it's like a nonverbal thing that you just pick up automatically, YES of fucking course there's fit girl holding the petite girl and she's wearing black lace but the other is wearing white lace, and of fucking course, I am sure that anyone who's got a dick reading this is already imagining the white lace girl to be blond and the black lace girl to be a brunette, right? NO, ISN'T THIS A FUCKING BANALITY, ISN'T IT EVEN KIND OF BORING, OH WOW THAT'S SO STANDARD BUT NO, THIS RETARDED MACHINE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND ME, I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS OBVIOUS SHIT TO IT AND THEN HE GENS SOMETHING WRONG AND I KNOW THAT IF THIS LITTLE SHIT CREATURE HAD EYES IT WOULD LOOK UP AT ME QUIZZICALLY LIKE, "IS THIS OK? IS THIS RIGHT?" AND I WOULD BARK IN ITS FUCKING FACE NOOOOOO, YOU DON'T GET IT YOU LITTLE SHIT, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I HATE AI EVEN MORE

Almost cried in a mock interview because I can't even fucking speak in a fake scenario without mumbling and stuttering and pausing like my head had been beaten in with hammers daily for the past 29 years of my life.

FUCK I'm such a retarded loser

How far is the nearest park or country side?

On my local walks I try to get in as many green spaces as possible avoiding main roads. Other options including going slightly further a field, but not by much, to somewhere green or blue and quiet. I like a certain section of the promenade away from the hustle and bustle but not too isolated socially.

I sat down on the couch. I could hear birds chirping through an open window. I turned on the music and took a long drag from the joint. The voices and marimbas flowed gently from the speaker. I put the bag over my head and tightened the velcro strap around my neck until it was snug and pushed the tip of the hose through the little gap at the bottom. I turned the valve on the tank and the hose started to hiss as the cold gas flowed out. I took long deep breaths and my body felt good and the music was still flowing warmly and my head began to feel fuzzy my body pleasantly light as I drew deep breaths and everything was vibrating pleasantly and I started to fall asleep.

>>24803579
It's ok, I'm 31 and totally unemployed. I don't look for work. It's all pretty fucked.

I wanna stop jerking off, but I workout 5 times a week, so it's really fucking hard.

>>24803579
Literally me. I did a mock business pitch to a professor and he had to give me a micro pep talk when I started getting spaghetti.
I ended up getting the degree but never made it in the field, have a menial job now. It's all so tiresome.

Guess my country. Not Palestine or Ukraine though.
What's the point of making a program for the youth that will one day rebuild this country when we are sending them all to die for this country if they are in the program?, who's going to rebuild it then?, uh?, we don't even have enough immigration to pull the welfare fallacy theater up either. Not like we could provide such welfare anyways since we can't even throw barely enough at ourselves either.

>>24803579
I hate jobs in general. Anytime I get one I wanna quit immediately. I was made to be rich from birth.

>>24803158
Fucking stop. I’m so sick of your shit.

>>24803672
The result is the purpose. Maybe you're being propagandized.
>thinking immigration improves welfare in the first place

it's the second time in the last 3 years that I quit my job on the spot after telling my boss to fuck off. there's a pattern emerging here. nothing good will ever come out of this life.

Is it Russia? I can't think any other country that is conscripting students so urgently

>>24803624
how is one thing related to the other?

>>24803684
I did that once, now I put up with some bullshit but having a stable job is good. It depends on what your boss did, if they straight up lied about pay or something then that's different.

Everything is going great in my life except with women, can't believe I went 33 years without a gf. Money is good, work is good, everything is good, but I still feel lonely.

Time to write a book.

>>24803805
would you say this admission has meant nothing?

>>24803805
>33 years without a gf
Technically only about half that time counts, unless you were expecting to be born with a gf.

>>24803809
>unless you were expecting to be born with a gf.
Why is that unreasonable?

>>24803809
True. I was kinda traumatized as a kid by the only girl I was into getting her face torn open, then the other one dying.

My brain just decided I couldn't approach girls or they would die and I never got that out of it.

>>24803815
Jesus, what happened? Both cases.

everything has gone to shit
gonna off myself

>>24803818
Dog then she disappeared, and the other one... I don't think I'll talk about online.

Bottom line is if both girls you go out with for a week have a critical existence failure afterwards it does make one a bit touchy. I'm not superstitious man, but...

>>24803833

Family dog?

I'm done dumbing myself down. I'm old enough. I'm gonna start talking as smart I as I am, how I truly see and parse the world.

Or is true smarts knowing when and when not to bust it out?

So like 90 IQ.

>>24803862
You're right to not dumb yourself down, just don't be the guy that uses ten dollar words when buying something at McDonald's. I recently found myself realizing the same thing - that I was inadvertently dumbing myself down because I assumed that people just wouldn't get anything I'm saying - which is not really fair to myself or them.
While context matters, I've found delivery and rhetorical style matters a lot too. If you sound like a massive autist, best reserve your tangents to friends who you trust enough to deal with your eccentricities. But if you're reasonably well-spoken and articulate, without being highfalutin, everyone will appreciate that.

I hate my mother but also I love her

I will never understand the conservative impulse to constantly whine about government waste and overspending. It's a complicated world, things cost money. And if 5% of my tax dollars are going to putative waste, so what? I don't expect perfect efficiency, and often times the systems which best foster that other 95% enables a little bit of fat here and there.

But no, it's "they're spending thousands on protecting a tree that benefits no one! shut down everything that monitors the environment and wildlife and greenery!" or "a couple people are taking advantage of welfare and free healthcare!? now no one deserves it!!" like what the fuck, calm down, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, but their emotions blind them to all that.

I'm just saying, I'm fine with a bit of waste and leachers on the system if it means things and people who need the funding are getting it, y'know? Better than cutting down on waste and those who supposedly don't deserve help, and then whose really in need of funding and subsistence are left out in the lurch.

>>24803916
I agree, but I feel like this brand of fiscal conservatism died decades ago (outside of budget season rhetoric).

>>24803902
Someday she'll be gone.

>>24803924
I thought so too until I saw how right-wingers on this site and MAGA elsewhere talk about government spending, it's disgusting and shortsighted. And now you have the Trump Administration trying to gut more federal workers as a way to pressure the Democrats to fold on the shutdown, what the fuck? They probably have no idea who they're firing or why, but the average conservative will support it because "saving my hard earned tax dollars" when it's a pennywise and a pound-foolish -- you save on some money here, but then you lose out on billions in the downstream consequences, not to mention quality of life. Goddamn, I can't stand it.

YouTube is not working, pajeets are probably to blame

>>24803936
You're still fighting the last war. The two kinds of funding cuts that appeal to MAGA (I would know) are:
1. This is being run incredibly inefficiently and could probably cost a tenth and still function (Musk learned this at Twitter and it's what he was brought in for)
2. This is being run by people who hate you and should not be supported even if it costs $0.01 (USAID's more ideological programs).
I don't have it out for government workers but some of the firings are definitely a combination of 1 and 2.

You'll still hear the old versions occasionally because it's like the old conservatives fell of a cliff, but I don't think it's central.

>>24803945
thanks for affirming my suspicions

>>24803946
>it's like the old conservatives
*it's not like, whoops.

>>24803946
The problem is those are often used as cover for wider, less discriminate cuts. USAID has some waste? Okay, sure. But then it gets cancelled entirely. There's some healthcare bloat and fraud and waste? Okay. But then Republicans cut free healthcare from tens of millions in their BBB. Some onerous, needless regulation exists? Agreed. But then the directors put in place don't believe in the agency's mission at all and their staff is gutted. Stuff like that. Hell, a lot of people on the right don't even see working for the government as a real job lol, so when they see cuts of any kind, their instinctual response is "good riddance" when the fact-of-the-matter is, for every regulation and federal job, there's almost assuredly a good reason for it.

It's like that old adage about how it's better to let the guilty man go than wrongfully punish the innocent man? It's better to let a few putatively inefficient and wasteful programs and subsidies exist than to cut the truly necessary and beneficial ones.

>>24803978
>some waste

>>24803978
>It's better to let a few putatively inefficient and wasteful programs and subsidies exist than to cut the truly necessary and beneficial ones.
I get what you're saying but we're not talking about jailing the people who get fired. You're owed a fair trial before criminal punishment, you're not owed billions of dollars, taken out of people's paycheck who also need the money, that *might* be used on necessary program.

Anyone know if the show Elementary is any good? Yeah, yeah, I should read instead, I know.

hell ya a chick who ghosted me for two days texted me back and i just ran four miles in 30 minutes, feels like a perfect time to rope, gotta get it done when i'm up, know what i mean? i might wait until the next time i have sex tho to rly go out on a high note, as soon as the chick leaves, rope it up, but i dont have sex that much so i might be waiting too long for that.

>>24804109
What are you 13? Gonna kill yourself over a girl? Grow the fuck up.

>>24804106
It's aight. Better-than-average detectiveslop.

>>24804152
ty

>>24804140
i wasn't gonna rope cuz she ghosted me i was gonna rope cuz it feels good to be unghosted and it's easier to go out on a high note, like also if i land a new job that pays way more, that's an even better time to rope. i was putting it off until i finished my masters, now that that's done, i can do it anytime. i just wanted to be sure my death certificate says "graduate degree" or whatever on it, know what i mean? i was looking at it for one of my relatives and it said "some college" lmao my mom said he had two degrees! more like dropped out twice! lmao, anyways it's almost time.

>>24804172
i def gotta finish shadow ticket first tho

They're making underwater trains.

>>24804213
I want one

Just took the via train home for the first time in months and the whole time I was thinking about how the last time I was on that train I knew I would be seeing you that night and I was all excited but this time I had nothing to look forward to and I felt incredibly sad.

Girls gettin' disappointed and upset because I don't like to fuck on the first hangout/date. Well, I'm sorry I like to be more familiar and comfortable with someone before I get naked with them, much less put a piece of my body instead of theirs. Am I the prude? maybe, but it is what it is

>>24797229
forgot to reply to the person who asked me this but Pol Pot criminalized adultery and targeted urban intellectuals most likely because they used their power and influence to divide and conquer the working classes in the Khmer Rouge. the criminalization of adultery could be seen as simply a way to combat the western influence of feminism, as he probably knew that women could attain mates easier than men - which is why he had a laissez-faire attitude towards male adultery. Pol Pot is the kind of leader we need now, but in the west.

>>24804213
They already have them

>>24803178
that's a bit of a gross oversimplification. the problem is zoomer women are too picky for their own good but zoomer men are too neurotic and high inhibition to commit to putting women in their place which overall just creates a wholly dysfunctional society. it doesn't help that the state sides with women overwhelmingly.

>>24804265
people say it's better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all which i guess is from tennyson according to brave search ai but anyways i say fuck that it's better to have no loved then u have no shitty memories to make your memories suck and also no bitterness or jealousy. i avoid relationships as much as possible, but some old flame tricked me back into it recently and it fucking sucks so bad. sometimes i think back like man if i just jacked off before i met her, i could have avoided all of this crap. when some chick gives u her number, just think about how shitty it will be afterward and throw that shit out.

>>24804283
the biggest problem is sex motivates men more than women. if sexual relations were easily attainable by most if not all men, there would be no wars.

>>24804294
idk dude the people that start wars have easy access to sex. wasn't dick cheney on that dc madam list? weird how the didn't make a big deal out of that like they did epstein. i guess it's the difference between the girls being 18 instead of 16.

>>24804294
the funny thing tho is in the current generation people are getting so demoralized about sex it doesn't even motivate them anymore, like why bother? i kind of hate sex. like i can get why these christian pricks like the desert fathers ran into the desert to hide out from women. sure u might be starving and stinking in a desert cave, but u have peace of mind.

I feel so close to abandoning everything and moving to a cabin in the woods to do nothing but read. I don't even like nature.

>>24804213
My great grandfather had a whole basement setup of model trains. I never really understood it he was army im a marine but it's nice to think about when i was little kid with my brothers playing with the trains.

nature is hella overrated just buy a cheap studio condo in the city ya ur not gonna get one in manhattan but parts of queens and bronx can be affordable

>reread a book i wrote long ago
>it's so embarrassing

Goddamn, the new episode of TAFS with Richard Kind is hilarious, holy shit. I never listened to Cumtown, but I think TAFS is so funny.

I'm going outside to hurt somebody right now, Iwas involved in a minor fistfight earlier, but it was not enough! See you on the other side

>>24804303
that 18 versus 16 difference is so arbitrary and even as an American man I think its totally bullshit. 16 is legal here in Ohio its just frowned upon.

In Cold Blood is the best novel I've ever read.

Nature is underrated, especially colder places with few bugs. The only downside is no greasy fast food but that lead to learning to make the greasy food I like.

Fighting men is gay.

Wait, are these allowed again?

>>24804361
Real estate websites? I looked at a few small towns and found a very cheap little house.
Imo instead of going completely to the woods you want a small patch of private land in a small town with basic services and shops.
If you have a skill you can do remotely you can cut expenses so much you barely have to work.

Fighting is gay because..?

How does it make you feel knowing that my Shia dad is a follower of the only true faith and can back it up with “facts” pulled from the Bible and Quran? We all must be pretty fucking stupid for not being Twelver Shia. If only we could experience a tenth of the spiritual euphoria he lives through daily when watching YouTube videos or reading passages that align with his views.

Read what you want to write. I don't want to write math exercises, so I don't read math textbooks. What I read are constitutions, like the US Constitution, because I want to write a constitution for a new country.

whats ur bodyweight

>>24804655
150 lbs

im trying to write a book that reinterprets my journals of the past 10 years into something digestible and approachable and im treating those pages as sort of raw data for it. Im having fun sticking ideas and passages that come to me on my wall and i believe i have a good list of characters and their motivations and stories but i think im getting too married to this idea and i believe im having more fun planning than what actually comes - the writing. Does planning end when i feel ready to start putting down the words or should i just stop now and just start seeing what comes out?

>>24804644
i think the problem with that is that i read technical manuals alot and one of my hobbies is reading car service manuals but thats hard to tell people irl because when the expect me to tell them about the classics im reading i juts want to talk about the 1998 Hilux manual and why it kinda sucks compared to domestic manuals and Japanese layouts waste so many pages by comparison and none of them have actual photos? stop printing diagrams of the area in question

You like desi pussy?

Writing smart characters in TV shows must be the easiest thing in the world. It always works the same way, have them make some genius deductions and/or predictions, and because it's fiction, they're of course right, and bam, everyone is amazed and impressed. Wow, so difficult.

>>24804890
It's easy to write a shit smart character like what you just described, but if you want to write a good smart character, you have to write how they came to those answers and conclusions, and that requires smarts from the Writer. Death Note is a good example of this. All the smart shit that characters like L and Light come to are explained and thought out on the page. They'd be much less impressive characters if Ohba just said "And suddenly, Light figured it out" and never explained how.

>>24804895
My point is the 'how' is always easy when you work backwards, hence the gluttony of shows where the main character is hyper-competent (Sherlock, Psych, Suits, etc.).

Keep in mind, I'm distinguishing this from *smart shows*, which is what I think you're defending.

>>24804904
Ah, I get what you're saying. Yeah, I agree with you.

I have a whole 2L tub of cookies and cream ice cream in the freezer, it's been in there for a few days and I haven't touched it yet. It was $5.50 from Aldi.

The only reason to go on eBay these days is for niche shit. Everything else can be bought for cheaper from Amazon.

Strange to see that Don Delillo has been married to the same person for 50 years for a guy who writes about adultery so often

>>24805123
adultery in his novels is very tame in comparison to other writers

>>24805123
If you were married to the same person for 50 years you'd be fantasizing about adultery too

>>24805123
I wonder if most women would get mad at their writer husband writing about adultery

If I had any courage, I would have broken up with her 10 years ago. Now it's too late.

Everything is forgotten today. Nothing lasts at all. Our attention spans have been completely and utterly fried by the short-form video format and AI diluting all cultural creativity. Good art and entertainment is simply not important anymore. You can make a masterpiece and it won’t make any difference to anything.

I started doing small annoying things to try and get my brother to move out
He is annoying, so I'm going to make it miserable for him to live with me, and if he doesn't like it, then he can just move out.
I'd move out but I can't afford to, but he can, so I'm gonna see if I can make him move out instead
You might think it's petty but he's been an inconsiderate condescending asshole for years to me and I can't deal with it anymore. Years of waiting for God to bring justice, and there's nothing. So it's time for me to take matters into my own hands

My cousin had a serious accident. They started a fund and I sent him around $5k.
A year later I was away for a year and he asked, through my parents if he could crash at my place while it's empty. I assumed he meant crash, as in just him sleeping there for a few weeks.
When I came back he had his entire family with 3 kids and a femoid in my tiny house 24/7, the yard was full of trash and he had no inclination to find another place until I gave him a deadline.
I asked him about the comically huge TV in the living room. He bought it like a month after I sent him $5k.
Turns out this retard even makes more money than me.

I started jerking off to relief the pain and loneliness with stress

I have a cousin story that happened a few days ago. She caught me in the bathroom with my pants down and polishing my boner with a banana peel. Later I told her it wasn't what it looked like; what I heard was that banana peels are good for the skin. Her response was that she gets it. The banana was given to me by her, so I wanted to make sure she didn't have some weird idea or anything.

The other day at work I was corraling a small army of people. We had to get them all up a few floors in an elevator. Some people got confused and got out on the wrong floor. When we got down there they all crowded in and my collegue was like "someone has to stay with them" and he happened to be a more... rotund individual so without thinking I said "I'll stay on, I'm a little more compact"

I did the math. I've wasted more than 2 months of my life masturbating. I could have used that time to study, or to meet people, or to practice my hobbies, but instead I spent it masturbating.

Had a sudden vision of my mother passing and I almost started crying. I pray that she lives longer than I do, in full health of course.

I haven't posted on /lit/ despite being a nonzero influence on the board from 2017-23. I've actually become what I used to decry: a brain damaged /pol/ poster. I just find the profane thrill of insulting people online an irresistible candy. I feel particularly guilty about people of Indian extraction, because I find the slur "jeet" autistically stimulating and numerous. In reality I believe India has a respectable and considerable cultural contribution to world history, including the religion that is most likely to be objectively correct (as represented in the Vedas). I also clown on black people too frequently, despite the fact that I know appareances can be deceiving and it's pure ignorance to assume everyone behaves the same on the basis of their color of their skin (culture notwithstanding). I've also insulted muslims a lot, especially recently with the unspeakably numerous ZUTT memes. Islam for all its history of militant aggression has certainly contributed its fair share to history. As for jews, the jokes write themselves. There always seems to be a jew engaging in some form of financial fraud or acting in a very public sketchy way. Am I to ignore this objective reality? For various asians: I genuinely just admire your various cultures and various mockings of your accents are purely in jest. China in particular exhibits a breathtakingly consequential and consistent cultural and ethnic influence throughout the centuries.

>>24807019
Edit: I wrote numerous instead of humerous twice in this post. Make that of what you will.

>>24807019
Almost as if those people who complained jokes do, in fact, lead to genuine, tangible hatred and discrimination were right.

I work a corporate job with so much jargon and bullshit it's tormenting. But the pay more than covers my graduate program tuition and I do the bare minimum. Even though I try to save my energy for things I enjoy, it's exhausting feeling unfulfilled.

>>24807023
Or perhaps the reverse is true? There's something to hate in almost everything if you squint hard enough. Even the things I idealize betray me. I tend to hate certain processes and tendencies, often for reasons which I feel are objectively defensible, for example: uncontrolled immigration. Do I hate the people immigrating? Not personally, I don't know them. I hate the process because I know it destabilizes and injects chaos to an already broke system that can't take care of its own natural born tax paying citizens.
Joking about these various things always point to the unspeakable fact that there's usually something hatable about whatever you're joking about. Jews do behave in sketchy, economically destabilizing ways that appears more often than other ethnicities, that doesn't mean every jew is guilty. Indians do destabilize labor economics in the west because of capitalist systems. Black people do engage in more crime than non-black people, for whatever reason. These contradictions must be resolved in their own right.
As for white people: they are far from blameless. But the story would be completely inverted if it was white people rushing to fill non-white countries. Everything has gotten shittier as more third world imports has increased, that correlation cannot be dismissed. It just seems as if the unresolved pathologies of those countries transmit to the host countries.

Center and periphery. The bourgeois establishment of the peripheries often claim experts from the center are more objective appraisers of their historical and societal situations than those on the periphery because they don't have a horse in the race like those on said peripheries do (they actually do have a horse in the race, but that's besides the question), but they're just saying that because the peripheral bourgeoisie has a symbiotic relationship with the bourgeoisie of the center, because they know the establishment of the center will always agree with the liberal establishment of the periphery.

have u ever seen a video of someone die from munching a cyanide capsule? its not like in the movies where they're just like "ack!" and keel over dead. instead the guy starts huffing and puffing and shaking and grunting and turning bright red. i saw a video of some guy who chowed cyanide in court after getting hit with a guilty verdict. it looked really unpleasant. if that's your only option to rope, it's better than nothing, but def not a first choice.

What did you eat?

I can’t decide on whether my literary masterpiece (erotic novel) should be set in a modern setting, in a sci-fi setting, or a medieval fantasy one

>>24807649
If you want it taken seriously, then modern.

Though I am surprised there aren't more serious novels in a sci-fi setting, akin to what Tarkovsky's Solaris and Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey are for film. The key I think would be to not fixate on the sci-fi setting, to just treat it the same as you would if it were taking place in our modern world, and focus on the characters, themes, philosophy, and style of the prose instead. Like, why couldn't you, say, write something like Joyce's Dubliners but takes place on large spaceships? Sorry for the digression.

I tend to stay standing at work and my right foot has become nasty. The fourth toe of my right foot has developed an ugly callus on the pad. And I stubbed the big toe a while back but didn't put on a bandage so it amassed a tuft of lint from my black socks and looked like my toe had a big black crack in it. I scraped all that crap out and wrapped them both with adhesive bandages.

ChatGPT isn't smart, you're just dumb

Once happened when I was laying in bed with my then-gf, and when we woke up, she freaked thinking my feet were ultra dirty and covered in some kind of black dirt or such, lol, and I was getting it on her sheets and blankets. Ever since then, I take more care to watch out for it.

Just read Doctrine of Awakening

Captain Cook and his crew got to experience the whole natives mistaking them for gods thing because they coincidentally arrived at a specific ritual that says a white god will come. They had lots of sex with the local women, even the ones with husbands because obviously they all want to have children of gods. Then they were all brutally murdered because when they came back it was off script from the ritual. I wonder often that happened in history, maybe some gods in texts were these travelers mistaken for gods because of coincidences.

I think I've given up writing. The passion just isn't there anymore. For the last decade writing was my lifeblood, my main hobby. Even if I haven't ever been published, it was the one thing that fulfilled me and the one thing I wanted to do with my life... Now I'm 25 and just don't feel it. I'm not deflated by the idea, I suppose literature is a young man's game, and I'm now focused solely on living an honest, decent life. But it's strange thinking everything I've ever written will have been for nothing, simply because I outgrew it.

I've been stuck in my relationship for 10 years. I don't know how to end it because I like her almost like a sister and I don't want to break her life.
I've been cheating on her so many times and broken many short-term relationships because I could never take the next step, and I could continue to live like that but I know it's going nowhere.

I've also completely fallen in love with a girl 10 years younger than me. She doesn't know I'm with someone.

I know what I need to do but don't know how.

>>24808520
How do guys like this exist but I haven't ever been able to even hold hands with a girl in over 30 years

God lies neither outside and above, nor wholly inside oneself, but rather in the successful union of its complementary opposite halves, in the physical and mental union of man and woman. It is not abstract unmoved movers, oriental gurus, or distant patriarchal figures from dusty tomes that deserve my reverence and worship, but that which exists as the exact same fragile sculpture of bone, flesh, marrow and blood that I am, as real as anything could be, that which I naturally delight in and are driven to please in turn.

>>24808353
>I suppose literature is a young man's game
quite the contrary, but you sound like a moron so please spare us any further attempts

I'm not transgender but I completely understand the urge of wanting to be a girl. There are a lot of perks girls have that guys just don't. It's easier to make friends as a girl, they can be touchy-feely without being labeled as gay. Like, when's the last time you've ever given your male friends a hug? They have a lot more clothing, hair, and make-up options. I imagine getting clothes is a lot more fun experience as a girl than as a guy. They can decorate their nails and stuff, but it's weird if you do that as a guy.

>>24808524
I don't know if that can make you feel better, but I don't think my life is a better one. I've been on antidepressants for years, I drink and smoke heavily, and I contemplate suicide at least once a week.

>>24808574
And I dont?

>>24808573
>Anon has never experienced intense psychological hazing

>>24808524
a lot of people both guys and girls end up with that. they get committed to some relationship early in life, usually just happy to be with anyone not really being selective, and get comfortable in it, but a decade in they're like wait a minute i can be living a way better life. a lot of times women just hook up with a guy cuz she can live with him rent free and it lets her move out of her parents or not have to move back home after college etc, but as her career grows she's like ok i don't need free rent anymore, time to drop this doofus, but she knows she used him, so feels bad and just cheats instead. maybe the dude just wanted a free maid/mouth to fuck, but now realize he wants a life partner who actually has more accomplishments in life than just getting on her knees, etc. but those are all normie problems and i say FUCK normies.

>>24808582
I have actually. As a man. By other men.

>They have a lot more clothing, hair, and make-up options.
