Have men ever been as pathetic as they're in the current day. Fighting over used goods, accepting their faith of servitude, completely forgetting what honor and sacrifice was, seeing no issue with women being their equals, progress only being seen through the lense of utilitarianism and materialism. You can go on and on as well, truly masculine traits seem to have been completely phased out to the point you can barely see a difference between men and women.

So you're not really against the essence of Catholicism, just the external structure? For many of us our faith has already become 'privatized' because we've been driven away for some reason or another. Unfortunately that leaves us without the sacraments, unless we're lucky enough to be near a rogue Latin mass (I don't have that luxury)

I have a degenerative disease rendering me unable to work. So i some volunteering to give back to a society that keeps my NEET ass alive. So this demented guy, 58 years old, wants to play chess. Sure, we play chess. The game goes exactly like you'd expect from a demented person. There's pictures of his family all around the room where we play chess so i ask some questions about who they are. He's wearing a wedding ring so i ask what picture is of his wife

>none
>oh, does she ever visit
>no
>oh

So i drop the subject, we finish our games and i leave. I ask the nurse if his wife is still alive or what's the deal. "Oh she's still alive, but he cheated on her, so she's not visiting anymore".

I loathe science. Every scientist should be gassed on the spot

>You look at trees and called them “trees,” and probably you do not think twice about the word. You call a star a “star,” and think nothing more of it. But you must remember that these words, “tree,” “star,” were (in their original forms) names given to these objects by people with very different views from yours. To you, a tree is simply a vegetable organism, and a star simply a ball of inanimate matter moving along a mathematical course. But the first men to talk of “trees” and “stars” saw things very differently. To them, the world was alive with mythological beings. They saw the stars as living silver, bursting into flame in answer to the eternal music. They saw the sky as a jeweled tent, and the earth as the womb whence all living things have come. To them, the whole of creation was “myth-woven and elf patterned.

Just to interject, this is a problem in epistemology called the knowability thesis. Namely, the problems associated with the proposition: every truth is knowable. There is a paradox connected o proving this assertion however. You would have to demonstrate that there are no unknowable truths. But if there are unknowable truths, you would not know about them to be able to demonstrate that they are unknowable. So you are strictly limited to what is knowable, but unable to tell if the set of all knowable truths and all truths are equal. (Indeed the one truth that is unknowable is if there are truths that are unknowable);

Speaking of science, it is by itself unable to demonstrate that it will figure out everything. This is an unscientific, philosophical viewpoint on epistemology (science is full of them). However, there is merit in at least believing that everything is knowable, because then you will at least try to know it.

I have felt the presence of something holy and divine, and I've come to accept God's existence. I've been suffering from this because all it has done for me is guarantee that when I die, I will go to hell. There is no way I can free myself from sin. It's like everything in my life was a test from God, pushing me towards chaos and degeneracy to see if I am resilient. For instance, I was molested as a child and groomed by women, and now I am terrified of them. I will never love one, I have no attraction to them. On top of this I feel like I need love or I'll die of loneliness. Doctors are unable to cure me of homosexuality because the modern Doctor is a degenerate. I feel like I'm choosing between a life of self hatred and pain but eternal salvation through chastity, or a life of love followed by eternal suffering. I might kill myself to get this over with.

Music is my main hobby and it's crazy how when you go deep diving, there's a vast amount of stuff which is (1) amazing and no one has heard of it, and (2) incredibly generic and forgettable that's somehow popular. With all due respect it seems like a lot of European pop music falls into category 2. With American and UK pop music, you're guaranteed a certain level of quality no matter what time period you look at, but lots of foreign pop or rock music is mostly like "We copied what Radiohead/Coldplay were doing but did it worse" and they have a following where they're from because people there don't have their own Coldplay. However, you also have amazing records that seem to surface out of nowhere, extremely creative, and they go on to surpass popular music in the US/UK in every way.

But I guess this is due to Europe's preference for electronic music over rock, which I honestly know almost nothing about. The only part of Europe that seems to have a knack for making modern music that's not electronic is the UK and northern Europe. I've skimmed a pretty broad amount of music and this is my light conclusion

You start with one of a billion tutorials out there, nowadays probably with Python. People make a big deal about the difference between different languages, but they're very similar in the ways that matter, i.e. they all use variables, use functions and classes, and rely on libraries.

It's easy as fuck to switch from one programming language to another, like basically trivial. Nothing like a real language where you spend years memorizing specific vocabulary that only matters for that language. After learning your first programming language, you can take on a new one and produce full, working programs in it within the span of a month. It's very easy.

The bigger, fundamental problem you're going to discover as a programmer who doesn't care for his job is that every place of employment WILL expect you to enjoy it. That's not my cynicism speaking, they want you to be someone who codes in his free time and has projects to show off even before you get your first internship. The field is highly competitive so you need at least some way to stand out, and in programming that means doing independent projects to build your portfolio. Essentially it's like overtime but before you've even landed a job.

This is one of those things no one tells you about tech, btw. The subtle expectation that you treat it not just as as job, but a hobby and even a lifestyle. No one expects engineers to read about Bernoulli's Principle for fun but in IT there is this pervasive sense that if you don't find it enjoyable, you don't belong there. And so a strong sense of Impostor Syndrome can come in. I've seen people who don't even work in my field know more about my field than me because it's a hobby for a ton of guys, and this level of enthusiasm from people is why getting a job is so hard in tech, you'll get out-competed by someone who does enjoy the work and will put in more effort than you. Considering you're here, I assume you're smart enough to do all the basic programming stuff it takes to get employed, it's not hard. Now, thriving in an environment like that is another story. For me, programming just feels kinda soulless, and that's why I don't want to do it anymore. Maybe you'll like it more though.

I’ve heard all of that but here’s what I’d say. While most jobs don’t seem to care what you do in your off time, they most certainly expect you to pretend to be interested and care a lot. I don’t so I don’t, basically. I’ve managed to keep my job to this point, but I just had a meeting with a higher up the other day because I don’t show enough excitement and interest in what I do apparently. At the same time, I already work for a government agency. I have absolutely zero interest in working for corporate unless I have to. I would just try to stay in government, or drop the office job altogether. I suspect it might not be so competitive in government jobs. I don’t know though. What do you think? I’m just at a loss man. My job is actually pretty cushy, but I hate the actual job, I can’t stand the people, I don’t like the location. First and foremost I don’t like the actual job duties. I don’t really know what to do so maybe I’ll just have to take your word for it.

I'm on the brink of leaving the religious denomination I grew up in (Latter-Day Saints), which my family has been part of for nearly two hundred years, and joining one of the orthodox Christian churches (Eastern or Roman Catholic). I think I'm making the right choice, but I know that I'm going to make my parents pretty sad at best and get disowned at worst. Sure, I could grin and put up with it all and continue to enjoy the close community of the church, the family friends I've known for years, and the comforting doctrines I grew up with, but I can't put up with what I no longer believe to be true any more.

Apu is a neotenous variant of Pepe, there are several other variants such as groyper as well. Wojak is a separate meme entirely, it spawned brainletjak, soijak, boomerjak, etc.

At the height of 2010s meme culture circa 2014 there were a colossal number of Pepe and wojak images produced, often interacting with each other, so they are definitely associated, but they're separate memes in origin and nature.

Interestingly enough the Pepe figure of the dichotomy, who was usually tormenting Wojak, has been replaced with Gigachad in many meme productions now, while Wojak is usually a soijak. This shift from Pepe to Gigachad has momentous implications for the evolution of transgressive meme culture and the people involved in creating it.

I can't get into them all now and we dont know yet because the transition is ongoing but the essence is that Pepe is ugly and rebellious whereas Gigachad is beautiful(or more accurately hyper masculine) and naive. The symbol of the Frog was extremely potent in representing a class of people who had accepted the accusations of ugliness(moral, physical, etc) leveled at them and then decided to be belligerent nonetheless and inject themselves into discourse rather than hiding. All Pepes have this character whether the simple staring one, the smug one, the crying one. It is a rejection of norms by a self aware and implicitly vindictive agent. (Often aimed at a separate part of the same person's psyche reprented by the tormented wojak)

The apu variant entered into this archetype a restorstion of naivety and therefore forsaken humanity(norms of social interaction specifically) but it could only do so through regressive infantilization.

Enter Gigachad: he has the naivety of apu, absolutely no idea what is going on, but he is not neotenous or ugly, he is the polar opposite: a caricature of masculine physical maturity and beauty. And he retains the belligerent disregard for norms of Pepe. Now why exactly this evolution would occur is multifaceted: we have to take into account both structural dialectic factors that may inevitably have produced the character, as well as an alteration in both the larger mainstream culture at which the memes are addressed, and the change in demographics of the people making them. This is the part that takes guesswork and is at present not resolved because ongoing.

The important thing to remember is that these memes are never self-identifications, nobody thinks they are these characters. These characters represent one node in given tableau involving multiple separated parts of the author's psyche and multiple vectors of social discourse incorporating both the meme culture and the mainstream culture.

So the necessity of the change from pepe to gigachad cannot be reduced to crude self identification with a different archetype; rather the frequency within which new scenarios required such an archetype shifted in its favor due to multifarious fluctuations. For example the Zoomer generation is more basked in sociopathy and narcissism through internet exposure than the millennial one, this is one reason for gigachad. Another is simple brand dilution of Pepe through various means. Another is the attraction of more physically fit and attractive men to the transgressive meme sphere originated by weird autists. Another is the total domination of the left in real world power(after the brief hope of altright) forcing a denial and psychosis(pepe is self aware, gigachsd is not). Another is simply that dialectic of soiquoting each other inevitably ends with a character who cannot be soiquoted because he doesnt register mockery and is physically impeccable

I hope you can see the complexity going on here

I’m an idiot and this woman has worked that I saw as a kinda mother figure turned out to be really toxic. Now looking back she seems to just social engineer any situation she’s in. Like that’s how she learned to survive and get meaning out of the world.
She’s a higher up and I’m always sure to be professional and treat everyone the same. But sometimes to her I do extra nice things and she seems to like it. Like a dog that brings you stuff. It makes me happy bein that dog. In my headcanon I feel nice.
I’ve been ignoring her more and more because some of the stuff she does is like to get me to chase after something. And that just seems toxic.
We went to eat last week and she said “my only friend in the office is John. I know all his darkest secrets.”
Wtf was that? I didn’t ask her what I was because that’s what I think she wanted me to ask but I’m just cool doing my job and getting paid. But I also know she has other friends in the office she’s really really good friends with. So it also seemed like mind games.
