It was a calming, yellowy brown monotony whizzing by me, or, rather, me whizzing by it at sitting in my train carridge. There was one other person in the cabin with me, a fellow who hardly spoke to me throughout our ride, only humming and aha!-ing each time he read something mildy interesting in his newspaper -- which he did quite often.

You should research the printing press, and the effects it had on the church, governments, and European culture + societies. The explosion of physical literature and literate societies into a public culture (and the response of the church and of governments) is more or less the best historical analogy to the rise of digital technology.

I am doing my university finals project and I was so autistic I printed some forms with the wrong name. When I uploaded the work to the plagiarism detection software I misclicked and fucked up the upload form, whole things is automated and it already sent out my data to the wrong wing of the school. Sent emails to my thesis advisor and the IT department about it, but it's after work hours.

Love is unironically the killer of friendship.
One day you are good friends and you both have the will and mood to do things together all the time, and when he scores a girlfriend he seemingly does not give two shits about you, meeting with him seems to be more of an obligation or a chore to him, he is never in the mood to do anything with anyone other than his gf, and even when you do meet or do stuff he is always on the edge of his seat because he can't stay for too long, his gf waits for him and he must go to her, because god forbit they spend more than 2 hours away from each other.
Dude, common, I get it, love is sweet, I have fallen in love as well, I understand that love means prioritizing a certain person, but I did not cut off every other person from my life when i did.
I have seen this fucking trope play out again and again, it's always relationships that rattle friendships.

I feel world weariness in a way I haven't felt before. I now know that my parents and I will never be able to actually communicate on the same level, they've bought into religion hook, line, and sinker. They'll never see how small and mean it's made them. They think that treating members of their church well makes them virtuous people, but it's just the same tribal mentality you see with Muslims or the Hasidim. They want to get rid of burdensome things like conscience or ethical responsibility and want to subsume themselves into the group. It's like Beavoir's Serious Man, they don't trust themselves enough to think they can navigate the world without being told what to do, but haven't learned to not trust others yet

I am unloveable. No woman could possibly ever feel attracted to me. I will never have sex. I will never feel her warm blood under her skin as we hold each other in bed sheets. I will never kiss a woman in a moment of passion. I am a miserable loser. I lack even the plain initiative to even approach a woman. I am a sad sickly excuse for a male. I'm aroused by my own shame. I develop romantic passions for women I know I have no chances with. I feed these passions with grand delusions but I fear to act on what I think of. Hearing what I have to say is a waste of time. I will never feel a woman's skin with my hand. I will doe sick and alone. I fear rejection almost as much as I enjoy being ashamed at myself. I often dream about being in a loving relationship with every woman I've ever fallen for. It doesn't take much, really. Just a smile and some general interest in my well being and I become obsessed, but too afraid to ever move. I think if I ever had a woman holding my penis in her hands I wouldn't move a muscle. I would mentally squirm and cry. I am a loser. I am unloveable. I have nothing to say. My brain is empty. When I think about asking a woman out, I quickly correct myself, and am reminded of how pitiful I am. How could any woman love a chronic masturbator? How could any woman love a man who cries himself to sleep thinking about being loved? I am a trainwreck, a manchild, a stupid depressed clown. I still think about women from my days of elementary school. Sometimes I like to fantasize that if I had been kissed back then, I would be a more confident man. I realize often that there's no point in lusting after a woman because I already hate myself so much. I would simply be inconveniencing her. I don't deserve love. I bury my head in my own sadness and depression to cope with my inadequacies and general inexperience with life, and struggle to accept praise from anyone. I've written this long string of my mental neurosis's in hopes that someone will validate what I already have stated here.

I had a smoke on my balcony yesterday and it was the first time I've been completely alone with my thoughts in the last few months. I seemingly have everything now. I have a nice apartment in the city I always dreamed of living in. I have a girlfriend. I have a prestigious and well-paying job. I have friends. Despite this, I still feel an inexplicable emptiness. I'm still not happy.

I feel as if I'm not a person anymore. I've manufactured myself, aesthetically and socially, to appeal to the people around me. As a high-schooler, I decided I wanted to fill a certain archetypal role, and I changed myself until I did. I convinced everyone around me, but I know it's all a facade. I'm unsure if anybody would like me without it though.

I can't tell if I love my girlfriend or I just like having someone around me who is affectionate because nobody has ever shown me affection. I'm unsure if she really loves me for anything besides the aesthetic purpose I serve in her life. The only time I am not consumed by anxiety is when we're fucking or cuddling.

I was at a friends' place the other day, and she stayed home to finish up her grad school apps. We all got drunk and passed around a few joints. After it got late enough and everyone passed out I walked out onto the fire escape. For the first time in several years, I thought about jumping. I thought that once I was here I wouldn't want to die anymore, but I now feel an even more inescapable urge to just end it. I don't know how to be happy.

I got a job, teaching at the local high school. So far it's going really good, but I was assigned one of the special needs classes as well, and it's really weighing down at me. It's a pleasure and a blessing to work with such wonderful, bright, optimistic and cheerful children but I almost always leave the school and enter my home with teary eyes. I don't know how to cope or if I should even construct any sort of coping mechanism, but right now I'm in the naive mindset of "why... what did they ever do to deserve this..."

I utterly despise the worship of ignorance in American culture. That's exactly what it is, worship.

You talk to people on the street about anything and you can just feel which memes they are regurgitating and where they come from. Vaccines this, Benghazi that, conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. Astrology, numerology, Pentecostalism, biblical literalism.

conspicuous suffering via a symbiotic or parasitic relationship with empathy, can attain power for the conspicuous sufferer. Examples might be, muh vagina, muh brown skin, muh born into body with wrong genitals and ofc muh holocaust. The symbiotic version would be power that improves quality of life for all. Parasitic, improving quality of life only for the individual or group at cost to the whole. Related is riding the wave of such power by calling attention to the plight of those who suffer in silence, which may also be symbiotic or parasitic.

>What do you dislike in women?
I'm actually pretty mellow towards women now. 16 is when I went through an incel /r9k/ phase where I hated women and couldn't see them as human, but it died down over time. Currently I just think they complain and nag a lot.
>what was your childhood like?
Highly abusive, mostly emotional and some physical. My mom always came home angry and took it out on me, cursing and screaming. She'd be mad over the smallest things such as a single dish being in the sink or me not making my bed. When teaching me to drive she'd make fun of me and scream and kick frantically. She often called me stupid and sometimes ugly, and she brushed it off as a joke. She had no self control and frequently bullied me. Physical abuse was mainly just slaps if I misbehaved or spanking. It got to the point where until I was 16 I thought this was common in all homes. We visited several shrinks and they all said she needed to let me be independent, but never listened. Was underweight and had both a porn and video game addiction, both of which I've fixed. Was very lonely and depressed, sometimes crying in my room and felt like I missed out on having a dad and stable family, especially when I moved to the suburbs from the city. Didn't do drugs or anything.

America is overdue for a kind of explosive outburst of societal unrest as seen in Hong Kong, Chile, France, Iran, and on and on. The list would probably be shorter to name countries that didn't have active revolts.

There are so many necrotic, disturbed, malfunctionally expressed political sentiments in America. And when such sentiments can not find healthy, institutional processing, they eventually erupt. When the sentiments themselves are unhealthy it's even worse.

America's great benefit is that there's too much to do and too much fun to be had. Nobody can bring themselves to care too much about these things. And that's a good thing, because if it spirals out of control... there are just too many guns. The police won't be able to handle it and they would have to bring in the military. I don't think it would get that bad. But certainly riots.

I really like this song because it truly captures the tortured racing "mixed state" of fear-exhilaration and pleasure-pain that accompanies substance addiction, particularly to stimulants. Particularly the goosebump inducing, ominous guitar hook that comes in a 3:54. Drugs fascinate me, particularly subjective experiments and introspective studies involving their self-administration. Weak minds pursue them for the sake of a "fix" although the term is revealing---as if one is broken, missing a chemical piece that must be added. The true value of them is in their ability to bend, warm, accelerate, warp, and vivify consciousness, to transform, electrify, elevate and boost the body.

Addiction itself is fascinating. And while don't have the constitution for deep addiction, the strange and almost intimate relationship an addict develops with his "fix" is as unique an experience as childbirth.

It's a true joy to get into a new artist, whether it be a writer, musician, painter. The artist opens up a world, filled with human character and force. As you turn over the artist's work in your mind, discovering new curlicues and tracings, piecing together the frieze they have drawn across the senses, we become that more familiar with the possibilities and richness of the world.
This is why the instrumental rationalization of art, the subjecting it to profit motive and design by committee and flow charts and diagrams in business presentations is anathema. Art cannot follow statistics. For much of the same reason AI, despite its startling power for generation, will never truly dethrone the artist.

One trait that is missing from this culture is the virtue of nobility. In particular we don't teach our boys the power and dignity of nobility. Of holding yourself to a higher standard. Instead there has festered a curdled-over and rootless individualism, which has found outlets in the most nihilistic isolation, selfishness, and dysfunction. Huge amounts of anti-sociality and confusion borne of pointlessness and being left to "fend for yourself."

This culture has become so moribund that these virtues, nobility, honor, have become reviled. A sign of toxic masculinity, not with the times. What do we give people to live for, to aspire towards? Why not something bigger than money or attention? It's undeniable that, at least on the fringes of society, there is a longing for something more. And when there is no more, that longing becomes rotten. I would wager the propagation of fascism in subversive internet scenes correlates with this stifled longing for collective purpose. For a cohesive cultural identity worth fighting and sacrificing for, to give man a chance to be more than man.

I know that feel. I was a miserable fuck in Highschool. I then moved away, to the city I love, got a new apartment in a nice area that I like as well, I finally have amazing friends too.
Yet I feel a new emptiness rising. I think it's the way humans are - we're always aiming for something more. Back then, we had goals, that have turned into reality now. We can't view them as goals anymore - we have to remind ourselves we're already living our dreams of back then. I don't think it's a bad thing to aim higher and set new goals, in fact it's what keeps us growing. Only when we've seemingly achieved everything it can be tough to find another reason to strive towards. For me, I realised it was being creative. I want to write, I want to put my writing out there. I also want to study languages. I still feel guilty over not doing enough, wondering where my time is best spent. But I'm certain that, in the end, when I feel the book I wrote in my hands, speak to a stranger in fluent French, I know it will all pay off.

Then the inverse would be the drawing of the apple is red, that drawing as a fact resembles a real Apple, therefore we can conclude that a real Apple must be red. In this case, red would be a characteristic of the Apple, or goodness in my God example.

The hollow earth? That is a possible place where they are able to freely communicate. Otherwise they are in society but in human form.

Any act that is assumed supernatural is cleaned up by the wizards and witches as they do not want to let society learn about what is really going on. (((They))) are forcing the governments to say its nothing.

What should you do?
Arm yourself. A revolver, shotgun, knives, grenades, chains, holy water. Visit your church but you need not pray, ask for lessons on how to deal with (((them))), chances are the head priest knows. As the roman catholic church exists to get rid of the supernatural and protect humanity.

My thoughts exactly. Not that's there's anything wrong with masculinity, but I think that the former just lends itself to art a little more, at least to us, I guess. Do you like ballet? I think that has the perfect blend of graceful beauty and raw power.

Definitely- I love masculinity and masculine traits, but femininity just is more beautiful to me. Though, I still find well-rendered male bodies beautiful, it's just much easier for women to look pleasing.
I don't think I've ever seen any ballet productions other than one that I went to as a child, but I do appreciate ballet to a great extent. Their bodies look light, but I can't imagine how much strain it puts on the body.
Where do you get your inspirations for drawings? Recently, I've gotten into watching more movies. Not that I've never watched a movie before in my life, but I've never sat down and just thought about a movie's visuals before.

That is pretty cool, thanks for posting this anon. I'm amazed at how coordinated every dancer is; I tried out theater for about a year and it wasn't for me. I enjoyed it, but I found it hard to be in sync with all the other actors. Ballet shows are usually expensive here, but I'll probably go see one for myself if I have the funds.
Visually, On the Silver Globe (picture related) and Suspiria are definitely masterpieces. I love how colorful and bright the colors are in Suspiria, it still holds up to this day. My favorite part of finishing a picture is always doing the coloring, the way colors blend together to make something striking.

When I was a kid, girls at school used to hug me at random and tell me they loved me. I eventually found out they would dare each other to hug guys they found especially creepy/ugly and I was a prime target. One of them also started a rumor I was stalking her because we both walked home and lived on adjacent streets, after which most of my friends stopped associating with me. I've spent around 500 dollars on custom girlfriend audios and started reading/writing romance fiction to simulate the experience

Very nice, good bass is so satisfying listen to. I’m the opposite way in my sculpture and film, in that I’ve been craving musical creation and have an immense urge to learn an instrument. “Keep doing what feeds you” seems like such shallow layman advice but it’s so simple and true.

As for the upsides of visual art, I definitely enjoy its concreteness and the satisfying tactile nature of it, or when you change one small thing and suddenly a spark of life or emotion emerges in a piece. Sculpture is satisfying because progress is often so visible once you figure something out, and then it stays there for good unless you decide otherwise. It also forces you to behave yourself in that it demands you obey gravity, but that’s a fun challenge to take on. I’ve been digitally editing short films for a few years now and in a way sculpture is the same. An NLE timeline in say, Adobe Premiere Pro for example is a nebulous two-dimensional sculpture in that the arrangement of clips, audio, and effects has unlimited resolution in its possibilities, and even more-so when you integrate media from other programs. Editors are the most critical but unrecognized member of a film crew and make the biggest difference between a beautiful piece or a pile of garbage. Documentary editing especially is difficult as you’re trying to carve a story from life, which is unscripted.

This is another piece I made. When I look at it, I know I still have a very long way to go and a lot to learn, but you have to start somewhere right? What sort of visual mediums are you interested in?

so then i just confessed and said i withdrew because i had depression. ironically, he gave me a job after the interview, right on the spot. although it is important to note that my interview with him was very unconventional. more a conversation than a checklist of questions to ask.

saying "health related reasons" is fine, and you can decline to answer more specifically if they inquire, but ive had several employers already ask me (even after i said i am not comfortable disclosing that information) what specifically it was.
i then answered "nothing that will impair my ability to perform the job and its related duties." didnt assuage any of my interviewers desoo (like i said, the employer that hired me was the one where i straight up just told them why after deflecting the question a couple times).

you might have better chances giving another bs reason. the one i was thinking of was
>"i was trying to become a video creator" (half-hearted attempt to make video essays)
you could try
>i was trying to become a writer

I'm glad I waited for the mail to arrive earlier as only scribbles in the last hour have informed me that I am a fan of Diamine Soft Mint. It's a terrific ink. During my wait for the mail I contemplated where I am in my novel, which right now is a slow but very rewarding grind through an extremely atypical chapter, most of which is a person being broken by physical and psychological torture retreating into their collapsing mind. It's very metaphorical and difficult for a handful of reasons, the most of which being not the creation of a physical space which represents everything going on (I'm extraordinarily pleased with myself on this front) but in occupying it with the correct representations of who the character was, is being made into, and especially the aspects of their person which cannot be destroyed but either corrupted or galvanized. Idk. I have some of the ideas there and to date they pan out as far as my plotting is concerned but I'm not quite there yet. I watched PAPRIKA and the woefully uncreative INCEPTION a day ago for inspiration to the creation and occupation of mind spaces though only the first helped at all. But yeah. Also I'm on day 35 of no fap and feel I've definitely triumphed over a large plateau and have a long, easy climb ahead. Self control and pursuit of virtue are honestly addictive, yet so perfectly rewarding. Life is good.

Any armchair psychotherapists want to tell me why I might have a latex/mask/total-enclosure fetish? It's like the less you are able to identify the people in the acts, the more interested in it I get, even to the point of them being faceless smooth humanoid shapes copulating. Why would I get so attached to this in particular?

It happens, most girls are used to it. wanna hear something fucked? I had sex for the first time completely sober the other day. I've been with around 12 other girls, some multiple times, some in short-medium term relationships, but have never had sex sober. It was OK.

One reason I love ASMR is that it can't be commercially exploited beyond what it already is. You can't incorporate it into a national ad campaign without making the majority of the populace deeply uncomfortable. It eludes celebrities out for a quick buck. It is a quiet interest shared by millions that will not offer any fiscal rewards beyond a humble youtube channel.

I suppose it was better. There's something fun to the sloppiness of drunk sex, the loss of inhibition etc. I suppose sober is more meaningful. It's a shame, I feel nothing for this girl but she seems to be quite into me. I would turn her down but I haven't been in a relationship for a long time and I am lonely. We will see how long I can keep up the charade.

It could feature product placement just like any movie or TV show. it's ripe for it, in fact, because its whole purpose is to incite relaxation, borderline trance. people who watch it could be easily suggestible. the advertising industry just isn't wise to the ASMR market. but with the way advertising on youtube in general, ASMR isn't invulnerable. I just hope they never catch on.

Sex doesn't give you a good life. You achieve sex when you have a good life (obviously only refering to "good life" past a certain, low point).
Do something interesting with your life, that is how you become an interesting person.
Become an interesting person, that is how you attract the attention of other people.
Attract the attention of other people, that is how you open yourself up to romantic prospects.

If sex is the only goal then you have no excuse for not having achieved it yet. Literally just go out and ask 100 girls per week on a date. One of them will say yes eventually, and you have nothing to lose. One of them will sleep with you sooner than later. Or yeah just hire an escort, c'mon this is baby-tier shit.
But sex is not the only goal, you only think it is. Clean your room.

>liberalism and capitalism
Those are not comparable social structures. You might be thinking of the duality between liberalism and conservatism. Capitalism is an economic model, liberalism is a political model.
Neo-liberals believe that liberalism should apply to everything, primarily including market forces. They want governments to keep their hands out of the market entirely, thinking that the market will balance itself out and be fair to everyone. This is why neo-liberals are the dumbest people you can talk to in the modern day.

What happened to rock music? Nowadays it's all about taking dicks and "hip hop" crossovers. It used to be a force of cathartic vulcanism, of torrential brutal energies that sought expression in the frenzied riff of guitars and the savage slamming of drums. It stood for strength, potency, and self-assertion. Not teary-eyed emo faggotry, not queer bullshit. Rock was a world unto its own, a great viking ship adamant 'gainst the tumultuous tide of current events. It celebrated power, the proud, sword-waving Visigoth; mounds of skulls; the blood-drenched conqueror. Everything that the world sorely needs now.

No, I explained it in the preceeding 2 sentences. The differences are very numerous because they don't operate within the same format of social ideas. Neither condradicts each other, nor do they directly overlap. They interact, but only in the same way that liberalism interacts with highschool curriculum theories, for example.
>Which would be...?
That liberalism and conservativism are conflicting political ideologies, directly interacting in a generalised push-and-pull battle.

Out of the gardens I come to you, you sons of the mountain!
Out of the gardens, where Nature lives patient and domestic,
Caring and cared for in return together with the diligent man.
But you, you majestic ones, stand like a people of Titans
In the tamer world, and you belong only to yourselves and to the heavens
that nurtured and raised you, and to the earth that bore you.
None of you has yet gone to the school of mortals,
And happy and free you thrust yourselves, from powerful roots,
upwards and, like the eagle does its prey, you grasp the space
With mighty arms, and towards the clouds
is your sunny crown serenely and grandly directed.
One world is each of you, like the stars of the heavens
you live, each a god, in free alliance together.
Could I only bear the servitude, I would never envy
these woods and I would gladly submit myself to societal life.
Were I only no longer chained to societal life by the heart,
which out of love does not let, how gladly would I live amongst you.

Doubtful. There's only so many tapping-on-plastic-product videos one can make. They do try and either the product doesn't make great sounds (that's not what it's primarily for) or it's ungainly and ruins the flow of the production. And in that case all one needs to do is find a video that isn't sponsored, of which there are plenty.

If they could weave it in organically and it made good, interesting sounds, I honestly wouldn't mind.

Any video that tries to get creepy is gonna get slapped down by the community. Hard. As in there's no second chances after that.

People aren't mindless sheep in the sense that they watch an ad full of happy people eating McDonalds and think "if I buy McDonald's I will magically be happy!" It is more widespread and insidious than that. It is not the effect of one single ad or one single product that turns someone into a consumer, it is the totality of a society that equates success with material prosperity (regardless of the specific products one chooses to buy and why they buy them).

One doesn't watch an ad for Dior perfume with Charlize Theron in a beautiful three thousand dollar gown and think "if I buy Dior, I will be an elegant celebrity". But the effect of the ad is that you end up thinking "if I want to feel elegant like a celebrity, perfume must be a part of that." whichever specific perfume you buy is irrelevant, the point of the Dior ad is to get you into the perfume aisle in the first place. Hopefully you end up buy theirs because you recognise the name. But the point is to get you wanting perfume just in general. Subconsciously you are equating your idea of happiness with the purchase of a useless commodity, even if you are smart enough to know they no one commodity in particular will bring you wholeness.

Think of how many people you know who say they are depressed "for no reason." they always say the same thing: "I do not know why I am depressed, I am not destitute or diseased, I have a job, I have friends, I live in a third world country with all the comfort and all the products I could possibly want." they don't realise... that is the reason they are depressed!

I can't tell whether I'm a sociopath, moderately callous, or normal. If I were to take at face value all the appeals to empathy one hears in 2019, it would suggest that I am abnormally callous: I don't give a shit about families torn apart by ICE, I'm more inclined to admire Epstein's cunning than feel for his victims, etc. But given the political nature of such appeals I don't think I *should* take them at face value, and maybe I'm normal. But I've also never heard anyone admit to e.g. regularly thinking about stabbing someone who gives them a dirty look on the sidewalk. Is it because no one else has thoughts like that, or because it's a bad idea to share them publicly?

>> No.14345893

>>14345881
I think the question is, would you feel empathy for the family torn apart by ICE if you met them in person, spent time with them and got to know them (or say, if it were your family torn apart)? If the answer is yes, then you're normal. If no, you might be a sociopath. Most people struggle to connect with others in the abstract. I try to live what I think is an ethical life, but even I don't feel particularly emotionally for people I have never met.

I am the same way. I don't really give a fuck about my friend's, family's, girlfriends feelings but I am still a good friend. I know the right things to say, the right body language etc. I am aware enough to know that I would probably feel bad if it were me in that situation, but I understand that on an intellectual level, I do not actually "feel" for them. Often also I think they are over reacting and are weak, but I don't hold against them even if I think it privately. Does that make it normal, or are we both fucked up?

Yeah, sober I feel more "in the moment" but if I'm being honest I probably prefer to drink at least one beer before having sex. Weed is different thing, I can only fuck high if it's with someone I know for a long time or I get paranoid and it doens't work. But even then, it's not as good as it was when I first started smoking - it was fucking glorious back then, nowadays it's just kinda normal.

That's what fuckbuddies are for, anon. Why would you want to date someone you don't even like if you can keep having sex with her from time to time and save yourself from a awkward breakup? All you gotta do its find the balance between "I'm interested and I like you" and "I don't really want a relashionship now" and it's going to be fine. I was in this kinda relashionship of "fuckbuddies" for almost a year with a girl from Uni and it worked perfectly.
