Film has never reached the heights of literature.
My favorite movies in no particular order include:
>Frown land
>Daddy long legs
>Vivra sa vie (mainly the scene in the pool hall)
>The night comes for us // the raid: redemption and the raid: 2
>police story 1 and 2
>Shame by bergman
>Shame by mcqueen
>Von Trier's Europa (WEREWOLF WEREWOLF WEREWOLF)
>My twentieth century (for many of the same reasons as vivra sa vie)
>Sternberg's Blue Angel

Most recently,
>Corpus christi
>once upon a time in hollywood
And I took care of some kids who wanted to watch the kroods, and I actually had a great time with the kroods.

I don't even dislike black people that much, but I'm getting so burnt out on the overrepresentation in media.
Literally only watching movies from the 90s and earlier because it's fucking ridiculous how everybody's black now. You'd think they're the majority of the population or something, instead of whatever tiny proportion they make up.
Anyway. Mexicans are the people who are getting fucked over and oppressed the most these days.

For me it's a few specific literotica stories including
>Mean girls rule! by wifeowner
>Funwithcyndi (not sure who buy, just look it up)
and Asstr's Kristen archives Just Nonconsent, Just Mind Control, Just Bondage, and Just Putrid stories.
They straight up don't make porn of the stuff I like to jerk off to (murder, necro, kidnap/rape, brainwashing through torture, etc) so I have a sort of mental catalogue of online literature I can return to.
Obviousle de Sade is my guy though and if you find your sexual proclivities also transcend bourgeois morality, I highly recommend checking him out.

If love is the desire to be desired, and intimacy is to enact that desire for the other with the expectation of the other to express it towards you, then the idea that an other who has had its own relationship with its own different others is rather alien and freaky.
Skeeves me out to think about someone who is now important to me having an entire history which include not-me, maybe even greater desires (or greater variety of desires, or greater volume over time, or whatever) towards not-me, which shrinks the desire for me in comparison.
This is neurotic obsession. Much less common than the narcissistic approach which fetishizes the other's relationship to itself, and makes it about the subject. Cuckold fetishists.
Why does the narcissistic approach reek of reddit-faggotry, and the neurotic approach reek of chan-board-autism? Good questions worthy of further exploration.
What's the healthy approach to this? I reckon it's some sort of calls-em-like-i-sees-em down the middle pragmatism.

My mom speaks german and I was reading Gaddis's The Tunnel and first twenty pages maybe a boy is introduced by saying a repetitive phrase in german to our main character, I was like mom what does "repetitive german phrase mean"
and she's like "what is the context?"
and I'm like "it's a kid saying it to a man"
and she's like "he's saying "Do me! Do me! Do me!" what the fuck are you reading"

So I had to stop reading it around the house and haven't had the chance to pick it up since moving out.

No. There's a huge number of barely literate coding serfs with intense zealotry for the promise of technology, high on video game graphics and trade press. All their masters have to do to extract an immense amount of grueling labor is dangle eschatological projections in front of them, promising immortality or an end to human suffering, if only they can make one or two more copies of apps from 2008, if only they can work out a more efficient way to track marketing data, if only they can bend the rules of privacy and human decency just a little bit more. Obviously it's all lies, but what fanatic has it in him to doubt the imam?
