I think one should not take his private thoughts too seriously, nor do too much thinking when he is alone. There, one is a cornered animal. There he is a minority of one, and the tone of his thoughts will reflect that vulnerable position, vicious, defensive, haughty. There, all the world is against you. And there your thoughts are acid to the integrity of society, which you should at all times be very, very serious about. As one says, you should never speak with the devil.

It's weird because it's not just one hobby, it's a process that's going on in every aspect of life now, but the things I do for fun feel the most frustrating because not only do I have to put up with more, I'm getting less out of it

for example. I'm a dnd nerd. When I was a kid I had an entire bookcase that was specifically set aside for dnd books. Every month they put out three new books with dozens of new races, player classes, feats, spells, monsters, magic and nonmagic items, environmental mechanics and so on. More to the point, each new book introduced entirely new ways to play the game. Now, 15 years later a single book come out 3-4 times a year. It's the same thickness but has only 4 character options, and spends the rest of the pages giving DMs vague suggestions for how to make up content on their own without including any actual examples that might be mistaken for rules. Despite that, reddit screeches every time a new sourcebook is released, begging for less content and less rules becuase they can't even keep up with this

Lol no. If you have a sincere passion for something, when you reach out to others who allegedly share this passion you realize that they in fact do not. They are participating marginally enough to keep an appearance but no more. Or they are too incompetent to participate but nobody is cruel enough to tell them, so the bar is lowered to accommodate. Modern society is democratic in spirit, so insincerity and weakness are meant to be accomodated to service the highest number. But this is obvious.

Without resorting to religion, do you think there's some essential, metaphysical difference between men and women?
Hypothetically, if you were to somehow change biologically into a girl, would you still consider yourself a man? If not, then a lot of the standards and conventions we have set apart for each gender would seem extremely arbitrary. For example, most guys are fine with their girlfriend being seen and even touched naked by other girls, such as in locker rooms, but not by other guys. Would they be fine with it if those guys turned into girls or if the girls were once men? What if a person who could switch between each sex on a second-to-second basis was naked with your gf? Would you switch between impassivity and outrage each second?

I would say yeah, there is an essential part of being either gender mentally that's probably not present at birth, but is conditioned into you during childhood so firmly that it stays with you your entire life. Men are responsible for the security of the family, and basically serve as the essential window between the inner family dynamics and society as a whole. This is why in traditional societies women never voted, because family dynamics were so strong that it was understood that a man's vote represented his household's vote and that was the unit that really counted. Just like you wouldn't rely upon your women to protect your house if there were intruders, you wouldn't expect or even want her to worry about political things. Women's dependence on men turns out to be a good thing here because having both sides vote just invites division into the family unit, and removing the gender roles of the traditional family turns out to make it a weaker family in general.

Men are also the pursuers of romantic and sexual desire, which is possibly more important. Women are the pursued because they're the ones who bear the responsibility of childbirth, and lower sexual appetite than men, and they stand to lose from fucking a lot of guys. So this dynamic basically defines adult life, and where you're situated on this spectrum is an important trait. In childhood, sex is unimportant, but its role in adulthood defines a massive amount of how society works.

Some people can't make friends because social interaction, especially with groups terrifies them.
Being around people fucks me up majorly. Makes me feel extremely depressed and fills me with paralyzing fear. I also can't hold conversations because my mind is a blank void if someone comes over to me and tries to force me to talk to them.
I can't assert myself either so sometimes people will start trying to push me around socially. Some people, without even realizing it (more than you'd think), start becoming a lot more assertive and dominant when they sense weakness.

It doesn't happen at the point of sincere passion. I have things I'm casually interested in and people who have degrees have been astounded by my knowledge, and insist I must be deeply interested to have gathered it. The same thing happens in a lot of groups where what should be cursory research is treated like next level lore. I think the sincere passion point is when that's all irrelevant to you.

Hey man, I promise you're doing alright, and there is still hope. Not everything needs to happen when you're young and dumb; in fact, your age and more developed brain will help you make better decisions and have a more fulfilling relationship. The best advice I can give you is to be more active. When you are busy, you won't have time to sit and be horny.

It's perfectly normal to be socially anxious, and it isn't fair of people to assume you can just walk up to random people and make small talk; however, it is absolutely necessary that you push yourself into situations where you have to interact with other people. There will be embarrassing moments, awkward silence, etc., but you will grow more comfortable with the ups and downs of social interaction. Since you are on a literature board, I recommend volunteering at a local library. There should be some good opportunities, libraries serve has hubs for community events.

Once you build one or two relationships, more will come - connections lead to connections and then soon enough you'll find yourself gravitating toward new friend groups, new opportunities, and new experiences. I believe in you anon.

The second item, to have sex, is the lower aim. "Let alone" introduces the lower aim.
Maybe I'm not using the phrase properly?

I've literally always been like this, but it got worse during puberty.
When I was younger I was often able to find company amongst social misfits since they didn't intimidate me. I'm average height, average dick size, decent looking. Used to have bad acne that left some scars, but that's not the cause of it. Was bullied a bit in seventh grade, but nothing major. Upbringing was in a very loving Christian home with two parents who are still together. All I can conclude is that it's a genetic fuck up.
It's not really a self-esteem thing either. It's this irrational, paralyzing fear and overwhelming feelings of negativity that I get in casual unstructured social situations. The thought of being around a group of peers who are "letting loose' and "having a good time" makes me wanna shoot myself in the face because of how awful I feel in those situations.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure it strikes the heart of my post. Going back to my previous example, I think most people would be bothered if their gf was seen or touched naked by another guy even if that guy had lived their whole life up to that point as a girl and had that gender role ingrained in them. When you look at it that way it all seems so arbitrary, the way we distinguish between things acceptable and unacceptable based on appearance rather than any essential element.

I have a very conservative outlook on sex and gender. I honestly think that you shouldn't only have sex with one person for the duration of your whole life, that you should only have sex within marriage, and that you shouldn't even use contraception. Sex is fundamentally about reproduction and only makes sense in light of reproduction. If you are going to use contraception, you should only have sex within marriage and not engage in oral, anal, etc.
I also believe in traditional gender roles and that gay marriage is nonsense.

You can get lots of basic ballet instructionals from YouTube and lots of places now offer barre workouts which are the tamer side of ballet practice classes and injure people less frequently. If you want to be a ballet dancer, it takes a long time to build up the strength and flexibility necessary, and not everyone will have feet or knees or hips or weight distribution which make en pointe possible especially if male. If en pointe is part of your dream, then you'll need to xray your feet and get special shoes made.
To be a ballerina, however, means to be the lead female dancer, so it takes even more effort and luck to become one of those, and usually a vagina.

I get you. I think people would be bothered because to most people, whether they know it or not, this idea of voluntarily changing your gender still doesn't make much sense and everyone is really the gender they're assigned at birth. And a woman getting with another woman is no real threat because, honestly, people don't take lesbianism seriously since it's so different from the normal family unit. Whereas if it's a biological guy, you know that he could literally give her children so it's a real threat.

The answer to your first question is yes, this the first time I have read your little poem. I also believe, as a human, with no bad intent in my dialog you lack the understanding of the mechanisms of reality so it would be unwise of you to suggest reality operates a repeating pattern. Which you likely were inspired to believe by boys on the internet talking how the mind just "thought loops" and the like. Don't let modern aesthetic platitudes cage your mind. Reality and life itself, even as a human, can be much farther reaching than I believe anyone has the capacity to describe.

Yeah, but I’m not talking about the Spartans who descended from Heracles. I’m talking about Heracles. Heracles was the son of Zeus and was worshipped as a demi-god. He exists somewhere between Zeus and Sparta. Meanwhile in Norse and Germanic mythology, such a thing doesn’t seem to exist. There are just the Zeus equivalents and the Sparta equivalents.

On page 122, it feels like I'm writing slow but progress is a process, as I like to say.
I'm also still trying to get a girl's attention on social media. I decided not to lie so I'm probably putting out giant auras of cringe and my flirts aren't very good, but I don't know what I'm doing.
In real life girls approached me when I was young and I could just make stupid jokes and it was easy.
I'm not sure how I can make a girl say 'hmm oh yes this man talks about death a lot and seems like a creative dork. I totally want to spend hours private messaging him.'
Then there's the conundrum of what if I actually get a message? What do I do? Go on /b/ and have them type out a message for her? ...what if she thinks that's funny? What if that would work?
For now I'll continue to solve my problems by writing. That and watching youtube.

I think you're mistaking power levels. The power differences between Sigmund and Odin aren't that vast as those between even Zeus and Lacedaemon. Sigmund's dad killed a dragon which is pretty much the same line of work that Lacedaemon's in, but Sigmund's dad is further generations removed from Odin. The world in which the Norse myths are set has a much higher base power level where "humans" are much closer to "demigod" than in Greek myths. The gods are only powerful in Greek myth for having suppressed the more powerful titans, while humans are still running into the Norse equivalent and out magicing them with their trap card. A Greek titan v human conflict does not end with any human left. The gods barely survive and that's what gives that family supremacy, while in the Norse version half of the founders of various Germanics would piss on a titan and beat him in a duel afterwards. Things with really low power levels compared to humans in that system, like elves, still dictate planning legislation in the countries supposedly founded by Odin's sons.

The idea of half gods doesn't work in Norse mythology though, because power doesn't dwindle between generations the way it does in Greek myth. By the time of city states, citizens of Sparta were not seen as commanding any of the traits of a demigod, while the Norse still believed their bloodlines made them godlike in their much later expansions. It's why by the time the Edda is written there are direct descendants from Odin for places that would not have been Norse kingdoms when the story was originally told, and their kingdoms are based in their godlike power.

They do not appeal to me enough for me to do something about it. I stopped reading a couple months ago, and I no longer like television nor movies. All I do all day is listen to music and stay in my room.

I don’t think you’re going to have a choice. At $20/hr, 40 hrs/wk, 4 was/mo., you’re making $3,200/mo. and that’s assuming you take home 100% of that $20, which doesn’t happen since I believe you meant gross, not net. But even if you were taking home $20/hr. net, a monthly rent payment of $1,200 is almost 40% of your income. If you assume pretty typical California deductions to $20/hr gross pay, that ends up being $2,632/mo. which means that $1,200/mo. rent payment is 46% of your income. That’s extremely high in both cases.

A while after I started using 5ch my Japanophilia abated a lot. There are still some really cool things about Japan like their mythology and their history, but there is really nothing special about daily life in Japan, and weeaboos end up reading way too much into normal things there just because it has an Asian coat of paint. For me I guess I've noticed an irony behind weeaboo-ism because weeaboos often reject their home country's culture for Japan's stuff, but rather than obsessing over some niche Japanese subculture, these people align themselves with the whole society, like Japan is just a better place. And it's ironic because mainstream Japanese culture has a lot of traits that weeaboos dislike in their home country, like it's super conformist and you're expected to know shit just because it's popular, but you don't see weaboos complain about this. But the clincher for me was that Japs are very open to Western shit, and enthusiastic about stuff that weeaboos often hate, so to me it was a wake up call like "Why do I dislike this stuff in the first place?"

That is what kinda ended my Japanophilia - It started for a good reason, Japan has a lot of cool things we don't - but it progressed until I just decided Japan was better as a whole for some reason. Nowadays it feels like the takeaway to me is to stop being close-minded, and ignoring great things just because of my prejudice

Mana found herself walking down a long hallway. Flanking her on both sides were a series of doors, labelled with their associated numbers—tonight, she was tasked with attending each guest on the 4th floor to offer them supper before heading to bed. She knocked on room 203, and a small frail woman came to answer the door.
‘Hello—would you like some mushroom soup for tonight?’
‘Oh, thank you, but I think I’m fine for tonight. I’m, aha, I’m… I’m not hungry, not at all! Aha, yes, not at all. But thank you so much, for the offer, that is, yes, thank you!’
This particular guest had been staying with them for about a week now. In her late thirties, she travelled here alone, and seldom left her room. During the course of her stay, Mana found it odd that she rarely made use of the facilities in the hotel—there was a beautiful swimming pool, perfect for the summer season they were currently in, a restaurant with good food and reasonable pricing, a beach only 5 minutes away from the hotel, and various other amenities that would make the place a joy to stay in. The few times that she did leave, she would spend wandering the halls aimlessly, sitting on the sofas and watching people walk by, or hang around the lobby in the same listlessness. It was done so in an almost contrary manner, for she watched people without any particular purpose—and even more, if she ever made eye contact with anyone, she would freeze on the spot like a cornered rabbit, and stare back at them with a scared, almost childlike expression. It came to a point that some of the guests began noticing her ghostly presence, and began to come up with all sorts of tales among themselves.
Mana moved on to room 205, the door right next to the old lady’s, and was answered by a skinny young man with frazzled hair and a sleeping robe worn loosely—he was wearing only a pair of boxers underneath it.

‘Hello sir, would you like some soup for tonight?’
‘Oh yeah, sure, thanks for that! Here, I can take it, I’ll just place it on uh, hm… Oh, right there, that little table. Thanks a lot lady!’
‘It’s my pleasure sir.’
Before she could leave however, the man continued, this time with a hushed, secretive aspect.
‘Say, uh… Do you know anything about the lady next door?’
‘In room 203?’
‘Yeah, that one. I’ve heard from the other guests that she’s a loony. She just walks around like a ghost. And then, sometimes, she’ll look at you straight in the eye and lock you in her sights without blinking—real terrifying stuff. Has she been acting weird or anything? I’ll be honest with ya, I don’t like the idea of sleeping in the room next to her—gives me the creeps.’
‘I can’t say, sir.’
‘Bah, oh well. I’ll just have to deal with her. Makes it hard to sleep sometimes though, what with having her the next room over.’
As he said this, a loud thud sounded from her room—it came from an area closer to the young man’s room, as if a briefcase had fallen just on the opposite side of the wall.
‘Anyway, I’m gonna go enjoy your soup—thanks a bunch!’

-----

The next morning, Mana was tasked to make the rounds and offer breakfast to the guests. Making her way up, she reached the 4th floor and continued serving omelettes and bacon to everyone. Eventually, she came to room 203.
‘Hello madam, would you care for some breakfast?’
However, upon knocking on the door, it swung open—the frail lady did not seem to be inside. Mana, curious about her whereabouts, entered quietly and looked around. The room was filled with strewn clothing, much of it smelling worn and unwashed. She entered the bathroom to find a similar scene, only—this being a bathroom—some of the clothes were damp and left on the floor. A musky smell was slowly progressing with the presence of these clothes. Looking to the mirror, Mana found that it was scratched many times, enough to blot out the sight of whoever looked into it—these were scratches that could only be achieved by obsessively clawing away at it for many days. Mana took note of this as she left the room, as it would have to be replaced before the frail lady booked out.

She pushed her tray to the next room, where the young man slept—however, she found that this door too was unlocked. Approaching it, she could hear the rummaging of cloth and hoarse violent panting. Mana calmly entered the room, and found the old frail lady brutalising the young man with the heavy end of a lamp. Bruises could be seen throughout his arms and on his face, swelling it to the degree that the man was unrecognizable. Looking closely, Mana saw that his shirt was stained with copious amounts of blood, transferring to the white bedsheets and creating a pool of red underneath his body. A few splatters of his blood could be seen in the surrounding area as well. Seemingly unresponsive, the lady continued hitting the man in the head while screaming, the majority of it incomprehensible and punctuated with the occasional spitting and drooling,
‘You louse, you cur—I heard you last night, the things you said about me. I won’t forgive you—ever, I’ll… I’ll kill you and brutalise you, I’ll make sure you’ll never see the light of day! Die, die you nasty devil, the son of the devil you are, a rat, and skunk, I’ll kill you!’
Her energy spent, she sat drooping over him, panting and shaking from her legs to her core, her lips quivering with residual frenzy. Suddenly aware of her surroundings, she turned to Mana standing by the doorway, who started calmly:
‘Hello madam—would you care for some breakfast this morning? We have omelettes, bacon, and tea.’
Her eyes still wide from her bout of rage, she looked briefly to the other walls of the room, the window, the bathroom door, then back at Mana again. She struggled to find her words, her lips quivering a little bit more and her chest heaving both from her exhaustion and from a poor attempt to vocalise anything out of her mouth.
‘Ah, I… Uh, I, um—no, no thank you, I think I-I’ll skip the break, fast, for today…’
The lady sheepishly continued looking at Mana, like a child expecting an admonishing from a harsh parent. Mana stood in the doorway for what seemed to the lady to be for a very long moment. Finally, Mana’s expression shifted, and making a slight bow, turned around and continued down the hall, closing the door for cleanliness’ sake.

I feel that things are coming unmoored in the West in a way nobody fully appreciates yet. The current ruling subset pulled out every last stop to destroy Trump, but in the process they basically showed all their colors and burned all their trust among the masses. The virus has done whatever the reaction to Trump didn't do. It feels like there is simply no longer a question of legitimacy any more. It's a matter of: can you take power and hold it? That's all that matters. It doesn't matter who has a "right" to anything or not, where politics or even basic law are concerned.

I think this will begin to amplify in the coming years and decades in both North American and Europe. In North America, for example, I think it will be increasingly likely that states and armed militias defy the federal government. We may even see armed groups taking over states. What's to stop someone with a sufficient amount of military hardware from seizing a state capitol and declaring himself governor? There is no longer any expectation of legitimacy, so it's a matter of taking power and holding it. If you can do that, that's all that matters.

In Europe it will be trickier because the population doesn't have as ready access to firearms. But I expect certain members of their militaries to get ambitious. The French military has threatened a coup. The German military is infested with Neo-Nazis. I expect overthrow of at least one civilian government in Europe within the next decade.

All the trust and credibility that the people in power had has been pissed away for the last 12 years, and now I think their status at the top is going to be increasingly threatened. They'll have to deploy outright violence to keep it, but violence is a game their opponents can play, too.

In a vague and half-hearted manner, I've been detaching myself from the world and trying to dwell in God. I'm fully aware that I've not been going about this in the right way and have been egoistic about it, but I'm beginning to doubt this path, even if I were to do it properly. I don't have a clear enough view of God to commit myself fully, but I worry that if I try and live in the world instead I won't be able to shake the sense of wrongness. Sometimes I think there would be nothing better than to stop thinking about philosophy and God, get a low-effort job and a low-effort girlfriend, and just live in quiet hedonism.

If Spengler’s right, then the implication is that, like the Roman Republic, the Faustian civilization will see the rise of a Caesar figure to usher in the Faustian Empire and close out the civilization. But the Roman state never had the Democratic element that modern Faustian civilization has. The idea is thay ultimately, Democracy is oligarchic moneyed interests and thus a Caesar figure could in fact appear from behind the scenes of the oligarchy. But what if that’s wrong? What if it’s not a Caesar figure but rather Caesarian in the form of totalitarian direct Democracy, where the Caesarian role is not filled by a figure above the Republic structure, but the uniform mass below it?

I think Spengler was dead fucking wrong either way. The only thing he got right is that America isn’t really Faustian, certainly not anymore. It’s it’s own thing and will fade into obscurity, coming onto the scene to usher in the end of days only after the Russians if he’s right at all.

I want to write a novel, allegory of the crows
Ala the alchemist except with the advent of crows as spiritual or divine guides that dictate fate in its infinite intricacies

A man spots a legendary three legged crow and proclaims its existence to the ignorance of everyone in his little village
He’s gifted a gold coin by another crow and sets out for treasure only to return to find his village slaughtered

Following the crows without truly understanding their intent, he’s mostly rewarded with finding water or food until he’s caught stealing crops and is brought for punishment to the town
Upon learning a child of a wealthy merchant is missing, he claims to be able to find the child in exchange for his freedom

He nevertheless finds the child and immediately becomes regarded as a mystic, still using the crows as guides

Eventually he gets the attention of a lord and is tasked with the impossible of predicting the future, a mercenary raid on a nearby wealthy town and its possible success. Realising his village was destroyed by this lord, he convinces the lord to pursue the raid

Sending a Crow with a warning of the oncoming raid, the wealthy town repels the attack and orders hired mercenaries to kill the lord

The lord, ousted as a cruel man by all, the death is celebrated and the man is given a portion of wealth and land and settles contently for some time before being visited again by the three legged crow.

Panicking, he warns the people of an incoming disaster but fails to realise the magnitude. The land is raided by barbarians and most are killed or enslaved

I'm a 27 year old peruvian /lit/izen (anglo literature fan for you foreigners). I write stories from the old south on my cuaderno, and spend my days perfecting my art and reading superior American literature. (Faulkner, Mellville, McCarthy)

I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I bought an illegal gun and ammunition from a pandillero two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak English fluently, both the Southern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history, literature and their Constitution, which I follow 100%

When I get my American visa, I am moving to New York to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an writer or a movie director!

I own several cowboy outfits, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to America, so I can fit in easier. I keep cool to my elders and seniors and speak English as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Where Buddhism, animism, and Islam mainly compete and overlap. You specifically stated the Indian subcontinent was within the accessibility limit, if at the edge, but seem to think I would address that area's religions rather than the more inaccessible one like Tibetan Buddhism which still carries Bon animist beliefs, or the animist beliefs that influence the major introduced religions (Buddhism and Islam) in the East (China, Japan, South East Asia). Why the sudden focus in the one you thought was western enough to understand?
And how are you defining animism and why did you think that Tibetan Buddhism was likely as devoid of it as Hinduism, especially given your stated geographic division?

There, they can be exploited and manipulated in a Guantanamo-tier camp for naive darkies. Filmed by a series of aligned nomenklatura West Coast plates deeply linked to the ramifications of the US Army while they’re walking down the streets of Baton Rouge near a neo-Mardi Gras burger joint. In a parallel note, they will have to deal with the loss of one copper alto saxophone, poor ‘n’ young Christianegro Albert, a real sun of a gun, dying of sad water overdose by at least the very early 1970s. If you get near the pond where he died, you can still hear him blowing his gentle old timey mouth, either like a lost ‘n’ found picture of a 1940s couple standing on a Puerto Rico coasting boat while pretending to drink with straws from empty halves of sundried coconuts or like a passionate circular seashell of ocean feel that you would find in a sundry shop… all of this quiet music, tenderly.

I think they all realixe that. What they have trouble with is choosing what country to go to. European-Americans are no longer German-Americans or Italian-Americans. They’re European mutts, a mix of several European sources, some of which aren’t even clear. There’s no obvious destination in light of that so you inevitably have to choose. The only tool Americans have to choose anything with, the only power they really have when it comes to emigration is in fact choice and money, not even labor because Americans aren’t cheap and don’t work as hard or long as third worlders. They also don’t make the progressives as giddy. So how do they decide where they should go? They’re relatively powerless in this regard and that’s precisely what they’re denigrated for.

If you love KOF or just old school fighting games in general: totally.

Thanks, will buy it when it comes out.

In the meantime, if you're looking for more KOF before it comes out, either check out the old games, or for something modern, try out KOF XIII, that was the last 2D sprites entry in the series and it's great.

i dropped out of uni too. i was on a lot of drugs at the time and then my mum died. i was unemployed for five years afterwards then started working in warehouses for minimum wage, which i have done ever since. i haven't fucked a girl since uni, over 11 years ago now, and have no friends outside of my work colleagues who i don't even hang out with outside of work.

Why not seek solace in the divine then?

God answers the supplications of his faithful according to most scholars, but it's never jn the way I want it. That may be I me but I won't change my nature. I wish to hear God but the age of prophets is over. There is no place to take solace for me.

Music destroys me for days, I wish I didn't feel things so strongly.

You should stop drinking.

I'm not gonna question you on how faithful you are by saying things like "maybe you're just not looking hard enough for God's answer to you", being someone who has been there before, I know how that shit feels, and it's ass.

But maybe whatever you're going through right now you've already been given the tools to deal with, but you're just too demotivated to put the solution together.

Well I mean I guess I can't let go of em then.

Yeah I'm aware anon, I just don't think I've ever been able to conjure up that motivation. God isn't an anthropomorphic force, God isn't an imaginary friend. It's foolish to desire God to be that way.
