Poor native american girl. She's being exploited by that white american bitch. I'm sure she's maintaining her with bread and water only, making her work harvesting 12 hours a day, and physically punishing her when she does it wrong.

Then she sells all the harvest, and use the money to buy cocaine.

Why would you run in a tracksuit? They warm up far too quickly to be comfortable, even during the winter.

It's much more favourable to wear something like a lycra baselayer and some shorts, so that your skin can still breathe and also to help you remain cool by wicking away sweat and all that, whilst also keeping you warm for the initial stages of your run, if it is cold outside.

How far below zero, assuming you go by Celsius. If it's within 5-10 degrees, lycra and shorts should still suffice, though I'd suggest an extra base layer and thicker socks when it gets closer to -10.

I'd be more concerned with a facemask and keeping the upper extremities warmer when it gets colder than that, though, as they won't warm up anywhere near as quickly or as much due to their relative lack of use.

I still don't see a tracksuit as viable over lycra baselayer(s) designed for cold weather, simply because the material won't breathe or wick away sweat anywhere near as efficiently and are better designed to maintain a constant body temperature.

That's pretty much what I'm talking about. Baselayers and all that jazz. Another baselayer, or two is better than a tracksuit, in my opinion. Skintight technical clothing to wick away sweat and keep you cool, or warm, or for compression.

NEET activites include: watching TV, going to the gym and lifting, having a cup of tea with my mother, going shopping if need be, posting on 4chan and other general Internet usage, downloading and watching anime, playing video games, ordering figures which I don't really need, eating, texting friends and telling them I'll meet up with them before making excuses not to see them, writing letters and sleeping.

My time on /jp/ and 4chan as a whole is stretched throughout the day, while I'm doing my other NEET activities around the house.

It's a nice life, I'd go as far as to say that I'm rather happy, for reasons stated in >>10102916. I'd even say it's almost a blessing, though I had to go full hikki for a short while as well to get to this stage. However, it is massively unfulfilling, hence I've been trying to relinquish NEETdom. I feel worse for my mother for having to put up with me all this time. The slight guilt is probably another factor in wanting to end my time as a NEET.

Lack of social skills, lack of work experience, and the large time gap between jobs if they ever worked at all make NEETs unemployable.

Any dabbling NEETs are involved in is merely diversion while the inevitable inches near.

>develop marketable skills
Too bad all paying entities are strongly against hermits and other outcasts. All that "be social, be one of us" bullshite is there to weed out malicious and/or mentally ill people. If you're introverted and you seemingly lack empathy, people will automatically assume that you're some kind of monster. They're too busy or afraid to find out. Extroversion is the rock-solid norm. Because, after all, why wouldn't you want to go to the prom? Are you some kind of reincarnation of Himmler?

It's funny because repeated rejection actually transforms people into monsters and the "diagnosis" becomes valid.

I had a really long post written up detailing my entire day, but I'll limit myself.

In one of my aunt's rooms she has two computers side by side, and while I was using one, a cousin of mine was using the other. She's a cute girl who often wears longer skirts and today was no exception. She was sitting with one leg on the ground with the other bent at her knee, with her foot on the chair and her knee near her face. This caused her skirt to slide down the raised leg exposing her panties. There was no way I could not look. I was for some reason surprised by how much of a bulge there actually was. This was the second time I've seen her sitting like that with a skirt.

She covered herself up soon enough, pressing her skirt down under her. She let hand stay pressed between her legs for a while though.

Should I feel guilty for looking at my younger cousins like this? It's not like I do anything to them; these things happen naturally. This was definitely the highlight of my day (9 hours at aunt's house, just got back now).

No, and you should definitely expand on this pursuit. Next time, start performing oral sex on her.

>> No.10106395

>>10106374
Also my cousins have tons of people coming and going through their house tonight. One cousin's male friends came over and talked about their experience as straight men at a gay bar. The other (who I've met before) sat down with me and asked why I don't actually ever socialize and why I don't go to school or have a job. I've posted about this girl before. The first time I met her she literally grabbed me up my chair to dance before knocking me over, and the second time she asked me to get off my laptop and watch football with her.

All of my cousin's friends call my aunt 'mother', which is a bit weird to me.

Enough blogging about that boring stuff.

I woke up at 10am feeling sick so I passed out sleeping until 5pm when I got a call from my mother asking if I was going to come over. I told her I was too sick to come over.

I consider myself a smart guy, but i'm lazy. I wanna go to school to do math and science stuff and I know I could learn it, but man is it boring. I'm just not autistically interested in such things.

I have no trouble learning things and I don't think I'm that dumb. It's just that I don't want to go to school. I could spend hours upon hours reading about and remembering things that interest me, it's just that I'll probably never use any of the things I care to learn on my own.

Try this. Tell yourself that if you don't feel like learning after doing it for 10 minutes you'll just stop and go do whatever. Do this every day.

This works because you think that it'll be tedious and unpleasant before doing it, but when you are actually in the middle of it you feel alright, good even. You won't want to give up.

Besides, 5-6 years is bullshit. Soon enough you'll be learning the language by reading VNs.

One more thing. When you were little you learned how to read and write in English simply because you didn't think about whether you would succeed or fail. You just did stuff. Or do you honestly believe that that a 7 year old you was more capable than you are now? That's nonsense.
