To-day Sandy Andy took Andy to the cleaners.
To-day the Sandy Andy took One Lee incredulously to sad street. Here:

Andy Sandy, rather demandy, holding my handy and Andy, stole Lee's bike.
Riding away quickly Andy tripped downstairs and died of a broken face. "Oh darn!" said Lee incredulously, "That Sandy not get he's bike, that's thief!"
I cried inside at home later when I told Sandy that Andy was died.

I hate living in the city. I am terrorised and intimidated every day in my rented flat. Some guy upstairs threatened to break both my legs when I was on the driveway. I was worried about going out to see my parents. That morning I was on my way to work to meet someone, and as I passed very busy building where a lot of students were being put through, it was about 4am and I went by there expecting help, and it was a really scary moment for me. I was terrified. I was afraid that I would be assaulted by some of these people. And then the other day, I was walking to work and the guy on the street behind me, the guy with the knife, came forward and punched me in the face, and I fell on the floor and my pants fell down on my bottom, and my trousers went down to my ankles.

Well, that’s your first step. I mean, you make it sound like you do nothing all day, every day and you can’t reasonably expect to make friends that way. My advice to you is do 1 of the following:
1. Get a part-time job
2. Enroll in courses part-time
3. Join a hobby club
None of those will be ideal but they’ll get you out of the house and interacting with people which is absolutely step 1.

She kept talking to him, fruitlessly, unwittingly looking stupid every time her half-drooling mongoloid mouth opened. She was like one of those “special” cunts in secondary, the ones with Cerebral Palsy, that hit on the attractive teacher. Not necessarily the kind of CP that affected their mental capacity but, for all they tried, they simply appeared spastic. Take that image, put her in dark blue denim dungarees.

From my experience good friends are not made, they happen. All my closest friends seem to have fallen into place by accident. It's inaccurate to say we "make friends." As if you can deliberately go about forcing someone to care about you. Like any meaningful social connection, it won't happen unless there is cause to bring you together. All my best friends sort of just fell into place, but you can't expect lightning to strike if you don't put out a rod. Had I just stayed under my rock, I would have met no one, and over time I would have come to believe it was impossible to make new friends or form relationships.

I feel like I’ve stifled my real self for most of my life. I’m now twenty-seven and really for the last, I don’t know, maybe ten years of my life I’ve forced myself to play the part of character, which is in truth, not at all the real me but in doing so I’ve almost forced the real me to become that. I have this horrible hang up now about being myself starting at my age. Like, how can that not be the real me if I was that way for so long? Even if it’s not the real me, have I suffocated the real me and this is what’s left? What if I’m lying to myself the “real me” I’m wanting to come out is actually just who I now want to be and was never there? What if I’m just too ashamed of who I’ve been and who I am to admit that?

You stole the keys to Daddy's car and drove it west,
Beating the sun along the roads that know it best,
Chasing the liquid amber sunset over crest,
Keeping the turning Earth from putting sun to rest.

The highway lines like calendar'ed time point the way,
Toward a veiled silhouette-shape of a day,
Where daydreams crystallize behind their picture frames,
And doubters press their hands and fog our windowpanes.

Chorus

Our salvation's weightless to the touch,
Stillborn births in every shifting of the clutch,
The clock's hands, moving skip-ropes, trip me up,
Reds fade to blues and blacks and I am covered up.

Chorus

Under my veil I watch the world get young,
Aged out of memories unmade and songs unsung,
Writing books in long-forgotten mother tongue,
Filling blanks of hollow picture frames I've hung.

I've interviewed with all the megacorps, Google, Facebook, Palantir, Amazon, and so on. And let me tell you they hire nobody but the most venal and horrible sort of slave. The money they throw at their slaves does not negate this fact. They want to hire a useful, and soon to be expended human software program, who might contribute marginally to the very software that will put them out of a job. Never aspire to work with these fools no matter how much money they shove at you. They seek to hire temporarily valuable good little machines, human placeholders for what their technology will soon replace. Unless you are a world-class outlier on machine learning, it is nothing but an insult to let these people judge your worth. They are slaves to the insuperable flow of capital stemming from those who happened to get lucky before them. It is a system of luck and false meritocracy and I would sooner have my throat slit than agree with these people in their evaluation of my suitability for their jobs.

I guarantee you that Mark Zuckerberg is not so smarter than you. I guarantee you billionaire that Segei Brin has done nothing with his stupid rich ass ever since he got rich.These people are not better than you. Refuse to belive that. Belief in that reproduces the entire horrid police state and prison world of our day to day comprehension, the crime-ridden neighborhoods, the "there isn't enough money for universal healthcare" attitudes. Do not embrace your own slavery. Fight until they show their true colors and slit your throat in their final act of cowardice in opposition to the truth. .

A thread on another board asked "What's your favorite medium?" and I decided it was music. For top 40 stuff this isn't very relevant, but music is really an abstract form of art like poetry. It bypasses the concrete representation of things and channels pure human emotion. Somehow it can capture almost any emotion without feeling silly. And a lot of the best music involves a high degree of imagination too, since it's not even clear what it's supposed to be about. You just get it on an emotional level

I've always had a strange relationship with literature. Text interpretation was one of the hardest (if not the most) things for me back in highschool. I always had a different opinion on what the text meant for me. Writing essays was too much for me, i never had an easy flow and even if did, my grade was killed by poor grammar and stylistic errors.

When it comes to things like friends, yes I think that’s true but with many other things I suspect it’s not. By the time you’re nearing your 30s, I wonder if you’re sort of just formed too much by the places and people you’ve encountered so far to “start fresh”. I mean, it’s kind of an absurd idea when you think about it. You get older. Time moves along. You can’t ever actually start over with anything.

I would say start by making online friends. Use Discord for meeting people into niche hobbies and social media apps for meeting more normal people/girls. You should also try living more like a normal person and maintaining interest in more popular stuff since it helps with having mutual interests. Recently I was lurking Japanese 2ch and saw a thread that was written like "Imagine the sort of person who isn't reading Kimetsu no Yaiba, who doesn't listen to YOASOBI, and who hasn't watched Pupelle". It's kind of a shitpost because these are all very popular things in Japan, but I doubt most anons ITT recognize even one of them. The point is it's a good idea to know what the equivalent trendy stuff is at the moment and maybe even try one, you don't have to like it but it's good not to seem out of touch. I'm not saying to join the hivemind, but not all popular stuff is bad, and liking some of it is really helpful for socializing. If you gravitate towards obscure stuff naturally like me it's good to try normalfag stuff now and then just because it's useful to know it a little

If I go here will I adapt? If I do this will I ever do it well? Is who I was at that time actually who I am and I’m just lying to myself?” There’s all these questions that you think you’d have resolved by my age and the one lying beneath them all is “Are you just sort of are who you are due to your experiences, relationships, places by the time you’re my age?”

I don’t really have any one problem. On paper, I’m perfectly fine. I’m 27, I have a “good” office job, a “good” degree, I make a comfortable middle class wage with good benefits and a retirement pension, I’m healthy, most of the problems that once plagued family is now resolved, which don’t get me wrong I’m happy about. Sure, I’m single and don’t own a house but that’s true for lot of guys my age. Still, I don’t know. I just feel like I’ve never been who I really am, or like I’ve never explored the parts of me that I have a genuine impulse for, and I regret that. You know? It’s not like anyone one thing about my past is so horrible, besides dealing with some tragedy but that’s neither here nor there. It’s more just like it’s been wasted. So on one hand, it’s like there’s a natural impulse there but on the other hand, they’ve been snuffed out so you can’t win at my age. Either you didn’t develop these things and it’s too late because you can’t change at my age or you’re wrong and it’s not who you really are. Maybe I’m dramatic. I don’t know.

That's a pretty normal feeling. Most of us have some dreams we want to pursue but it's not an urgent feeling, so we put it on the back burner for years and after a while it feels like it's never going to happen. It seems foolish to call it snuffed out unless it's not actually possible anymore. There is some stuff that's dependent on age but the vast majority of dreams people want to pursue aren't. Even if you want to be a rock star, someone like Michael Gira has produced some of his best work as a 50s/60s year old man. Plus all those writers that didn't begin producing anything really until their 30s. I get why you might feel that way but there is little reason to worry.

Don’t you think there’s certain things that you need the “story arc” for? It just seems to me that when you look around a lot of people, if not all of them, that get where you’re trying to go start whatever it is or do whatever it is when they’re fairly young. So that’s a hang up for me personally. What’s been the real issue for me honestly, is a failure to find what I’ll call here “meaning” (even though I don’t know if that’s the appropriate word) in doing anything else. So it’s like you have these things you snuffed out, and now, not only do you want to get to point B with those things, but you actually feel like you have to or else life is unbearable. Is any of what I’m saying making sense at all? It’s like you spend so long trying to choke something off only to find out right before it’s dead that you could never live without it. Is that actually a common feeling? As for a dream, yeah I don’t really have one. At least, I don’t have a specific one. It’s just a series inter-related impulses for certain things.

Maybe you were 18 and really wanted to be a dancer but you didn’t because you thought it was effeminate and family pressure or something and then you’re 28 and you’ve not really danced for the last 10 years.

Maybe you need to recognize the desire in yourself now and just go for it. If nothing is stopping you it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm getting a biopsy in two weeks. I've had a dark mark on the left side of my right toe for at least 8 months, never thought much of it. Apprarently, it could be an "acral lentiginous melanoma", very rare and deadly. If it's such and has metastasized, I'll be dead in like 2 years.
A little anticlimactic, but my life evokes much of that sensation already as it is.
Maybe it would do me good to experience the strain of mortality. Maybe it would motivate me to approach life with a little more aggression and less care over the feelings of others.
But then, what would be the purpose of those if there's nothing in this world that I want?
I'm not interested in women, money, love, friendship or anything. If I approach those it's only because it feels like I'm required to, as if it was a mannerism or a token to society.

I hate the feeling of constant uncertainty. That's why I limit my thought process to five seconds before taking a decision, however stupid it may turn out in the end. It could drive me straight to a fire pit, but I don't care.

At the moment, I'm in a mental struggle because I can't apply the concept. My mind is in scrambles, I can't even think straight. I want to build a website, I want to write, I want to be good at my job, and yet I can't do any of that. At least I'm writing, it'll be shit, I'm freewriting and won't even check for edits or prose after I'm done, but at least I'm doing it. Hope you guys are proud of a fellow anon.

I think about making myself a cozy place in the future, but I can't see how I'd attain happiness in a world my kids won't be safe in. I'm almost 21, I'm at crossroads, and I can't move forward. I want them to be safe. I need money to buy them protection or isolation. I need to work for money, but I don't want to lose my humanity by doing mindless jobs. There doesn't seem to be a solution, I'd have to either be incredibly lucky or determined, or both, to really make it. I'm neither, so all I can do is sit on my ass and think about what I could do in the future to be happy. Man, being a doomer is no joke.

The only thing I've got left since everything is doomed is the ability to close my eyes to imagine a better world, because I'm a little shit that does not have the courage, nor the willingness to build one myself.

Becoming a Vtuber during this pandemic has been unironically one of the best things that I could have done.
Its fun and comfy, I got to learn a lot about different shit because I decided to DIY almost everything myself, so I got back a bit into using graphic software, learning how 3d models work and even dialogue writing for some of my videos.
And the most surprising thing for me is that I have an audience not to many people but they are always there watching what I do, without using a voice changer or even trying to be cutesy just acting like my regular self with an anime avatar.
I really want to keep doing as long as I can and start using the medium for interesting things.

I didn’t know my Dad for over a decade but several years ago we established contact again, I spent a short period living in his house while I was unemployed, he helped me with some things, and I now I’m just so confused about this relationship. I used to think that I just wanted a father and it was nice to have someone to rely on when I needed it. Now, I realize he wasn’t there when I needed it and that can never be changed. I just can’t look at him the way I think someone looks at their father. He wants to spend time together all the time now and I just don’t want to. I think he sees me as the kid I was when I was eight years old but I’m a man now and to me he’s just sort of a guy, like somewhere between friend and family. How convenient that I don’t want him around now when I don’t need anything anymore. God, I’m such a despicable, repulsive, self-centered person. I deserve nothing from no one. Part of me almost wants to harbor resentment even.

bro i have no clue how you reached that conclusion from the rest of what you wrote, you have no obligations to someone who never recognized his own. maybe you can develop a relationship with him, maybe not, but whichever it is, you should accept your own feelings first, because they don't just appear from nothing and they're not caused by you being some kind of bad person. they're a legitimate and normal reaction to your present situation and you should recognize them as such

I don’t know if I have trouble getting close to him. I’m not sure I would even characterize it as awkward. We’re comfortable enough around each other I guess. It’s more like I don’t know if I want to get close to him. He wants to be around me a lot these days. He asks to come visit, asks me to come visit, tries to help me out things, and that’s all well and good but a part of me almost wants to harbor some resentment and push him away I guess.

>>17770178
It’s guilt I guess. It’s not like we don’t have a relationship because we do. It’s just that it’s not really a father-son relationship. At least, it’s not for me. So I feel partly guilty for that and I also feel partly guilt for the fact that while I’ve pretty much forgiven him and can recognize that I love my father because he’s my father, there’s some angsty impulse there to want him to F off out of my life because it’s like “where the fuck were you when I needed you?” That feels self centered and deserving of guilt to me.

I’m mulling over the idea of starting a YouTube channel where I discuss authors and books, mainly fiction. Specifically, I’m thinking about making a channel to talk about the deeper themes in fiction, how it’s written, and sort of influences go into a work, and not in a vague sense. Looking around YouTube, I’ve found a few philosophy-oriented podcasts which are happy to discuss authors and their more abstract ideas and the themes that are sort of subtly interwoven between their works but there’s not much out there for fiction and of those channels which are out there regarding fiction, a lot of them are pretty shallow, boring, kind of self centered. This isn’t at all my primary passion but as long as I can remember but I’ve been interested in what authors are really trying to say in their fiction, why they write what they write, and how. I wouldn’t mind being able to sit down and talk about this with people. Would you guys be interested in something like this?
Here’s an example of the sort of thing I’d want to accomplish. This channel is about Philosophy but this episode is obviously based on a work of fiction.

After 20 years, I think we've found a medical cocktail that actually works for me. It makes me feel like a normal human being (almost), but after my while my body acclimates and the effect fades. Right now I'm taking 90mg. The upper limit is 500mg. It might be a long way off, but I dread the day that I hit that wall.

There’s been an uptick of weebs and weebery on this board as of late. It’s an anime board so it’s not like there’s never been weebs here but lately it’s been more than usual. They have a point honestly. Japanese media just absolutely shits on Western media these days. We have nothing like the light novel, manga, or anime industries here. Even though most of this stuff is low brow, somehow, Japan and their cultural outputs still feel pretty /lit/. Ours don’t. Sure, if you’re into books you can find a canon of Western writers that completely drops off over the last several decades. Even there, at least the Japanese still have Murakami. It’s tough dilemma because on one hand the large majority of Westerners taking an interest in Japanese are basically nerdy weebs or weird but on the other hand, it’s kind of natural if you’re interested in literature and media.

What’s actually the hardest is not how I find life or the world to be unsatisfying but how I find myself to be wholly inadequate. It would be preferable, I think, if in light of things I could view myself as sort of a tragic or romantic character - the brooding literati, handsome and talented and yet who struggles in interpersonal relationships, in work, in finding meaning, etc. but I just can’t even see myself that way. The truth is, I hate myself. Everything about myself, I loathe. Whether it’s my appearance, my past, my current circumstance, my lack of talent, whatever it just all feels so unredeemable to me.

I think a lot of us turn to books because we find life at large dissatisfying. What the world has to offer is somehow not right or not enough and that’s what gives us the itch to read, or even write, things fiction or philosophy. We’re unhappy with the world and what it offers. But really, our life is the world. When one speaks of “redeeming the world”, he really means “redeeming life”, specifically, his or her own life. Their life is the world and vice versa. The world is yourself. But what then, when you can’t feel yourself to have a method of escape?

Sometimes I feel like if I could just be happy with myself, if I could just be better looking, feel romance, have some talent somehow I could make life in this world bearable in light of everything. But I don’t. I hate myself. I hate who I am. I hate my life. I hate what I’ve done, what I do. So it feels like there’s no solution. It’s a bit like being trapped in a room and knowing exactly which key is needed, only the key lies locked behind a closed door in another room. That’s what I find the hardest to cope with actually. It’s not any one thing about life or the world broadly. It’s me. It’s specifically me.
