I figured out how to solve this board from being shit.
Split into two boards.

/lit/ can stay the same, where the focus is on literature, novels, poetry, drama, etc. Basically any of the creative works.

But then a second board created called /phil/ or something where the focus is on philosophy and works of nonfiction. Basically where the adults will go.

There's no reason not to do this. People get to have actual discussion and debate on the philosophy board, and tranny jannies no longer get triggered that threads are being made about dead white men. Everybody wins.

Lmao I laughed at my ex when she tried to act cute because of how goofy it was after I saw her doing this on purpose. I have a few videos/pics of her just being funny unwillingly and it always cracks me up. One time she was eating a whole pizza alone on the couch and the face she made when I jumped at her with my camera on was priceless.

SSRIs don’t make you happy. They just numb social anxiety, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, etc. You can use them as a tool to start a regiment of forced socialization, exercise, other healthy habits, and other stuff to help you out.

The protestant reformation had as much to do with Christianity, as the American Civil war with slavery, absolutely nothing. This imposition by certain elitists would be similar to the Bourbonic reforms, as both presented the past and present as NEGROlegendary and proposed a solution to that imaginary problem. What was articulated to be novel, turned out to be antiquated repressions. The protestant reformation replaced markets with rearticulations of feudalism; while the Bourbonic reforms replaced the Polysynodial system with the antiquated barbarism of absolutism.

3 years in New York City, and while I don't necessarily like them, I have gained respect for them. Rats have to be the ultimate symbol for resilience, hardiness, survival at any cost. I see them on the subway tracks sipping on puddles of mud, I see them leap from the cans when I take out trash. They don't scare me anymore, because I know they'd never do anything to me if it meant jeopardizing their chance at survival.

In colloquial English, a rat is synonymous with a traitor, a turncoat who will snitch on their friends for selfish means. Rats will do anything to ensure their own survival, and so the lowest of creatures is associated with the lowest of men. But one thing you can count on a rat to do is survive. Better than the cowards who fold in the face of adversity, a rat will always endure.

They say there's more rats in New York City than there are humans. They've been here long before us, and they'll outlast us all.

Theres something thats been on my mind but i havent shared with anyone i know but i wanna share it with my litbros
When i was in college i fell in love so hard with this girl. Been texting her and talking for a while to no avail. Then tried even harder and approached her and she hugged me. Later when she sat next to me in library i was supposed to make a move but i didnt. In my mind i wanted to see if she can wait and commit. If i make a move fast and i pull her whats stopping the next guy to do the same with her, you know. So i wanted to test her. Well, it failed miserably as i saw on fb like a week later photos of her with a chad in a club at 4 am.
At this point i realize she isnt a girl for me. But i find out who the guy is. He won basketball school championship that year. So out of pure spite and for canalizing my pain into something productive, i pick up basketball. Hard. I Train every day for 1.5 hrs alone. I get drafted by one of the shittiest teams in college league. Doesnt matter. I keep training, scoring couple of buckets a game and being mostly on bench. Game vs his team comes. We keep it close till the end but we lose by 6. I keep training and getting better. Next season comes. We won 1 game by my good plays in the end. Game against his team comes again. We dont have 2 of our best players and now they have their best scorer. I score 7 but we lose by 22 but my teammate dunks at the end and we celebrate like we won. We lost all the games till the end of the season but his team didnt even play most of the games, prolly because of drugs, partying and general debauchery. Cause of that they end up at the last place, us on the second to last, and his team broke up.
So, yea, basically, I won.

No meme answers like "You can skip all of it, Aristotle is trash" or "You must read all of it" because neither are correct.

I don't really have an interest in skipping stuff, but I don't want to waste my time reading a huge text by Aristotle that was just disproven by modern science. Are works like the Physics and Organon still necessary reads today?

This might sound a little bit weird but in my opinion there is something comfy about going in a gas station to get snacks and drinks. I hate going to the grocery store but for some reason walking into a small gas station to buy some snacks feels very cozy and nice.

I fucking need drugs until saturday to endure a shitty bachelors party and the darknet markets keep bugging on me. Why are there constant ddos attacks? Like are these by law enforcememt or hackers hired by worried mothers? Always wondered about that.
Maybe I should just order from several markets but it's already wednesday. I really really don't wanna be sober at such a bullshit activity. Sure I can drink and I will drink! I already have a litre bottle of wild turkey. But I need to drink a lot, being around these people, like a whole lot! And maybe a little dose of benzodiazepines just to calm the hate I have for every single person attending this festivity. But this is the part, were I need a third ingredient for my recipe to ataraxia. Something to keep me sharp, awake and out of black out territory. I mean, I can drink a lot but I think for this occasion I need to drink a bit more than a lot.

I haven't been able to catch up lately on reading. These last 2 years have screwed me over hard with the amount of stuff I had to learn from life. Learning what it means to be, what it means to eat and drink, and what it means to live for oneself and not for others.

I will just add, as a different poster, that in my personal experience the SSRI I took for less than half a year, zapped my creativity.
Yes, it would keep me from thinking about the same old problems, but before then I was doing a lot of music production, and would struggle to do it at all, especially at the early stages where an idea needs to hit you.
I was very capable of doing little menial jobs, or remain entertained—I once played Dark Souls for 23 hours straight, but if someone ran into the room with a gun and said “Right a fucking poem NOW,” I would have been hard pressed to not get my brains blown out.
Another side effect can be erectile disfunction. I really struggled to cum and stay hard, but still had a libido.

Camus doesn't care about the suffering of others. The world is fundamentally an amoral and meaningless place to him.

this just gives me so much to think about. this is really wonderful. I have been granted so much. There's a sense of worry but it's such a good sense!

I gotta tell you something weird. I am fully well an adult. I'm a man, but I was mostly raised by my sister, who's good people and everything but couldn't teach me much about being a man. I'm often nervous around men, a little bit frightened perhaps. I need to learn to lean into that feeling I think, just gotta face it. I've considered learning some self-defense or something, just to know I have a recourse. It could be worse, but it's palpable. I don't know how normal it is. Either way, I was taking a walk alone at night a while back, and a guy came up walking behind me. I was frightened. But the thing of it was that it felt like I should be, it felt like everything was in order and I was present enough to benefit from the experience. Just to feel out the feeling, feel myself still in control. Someone said you got nothing to fear but fear itself. I felt like what you should fear is the fear of fear, that is, the fear of what your fear could signify, such as you inadequacy. I didn't worry about what it meant anymore, I just walked in it, and once you shaved off the fear of the implication of inadequacy it was fine. Good, even. I felt alive in a good way. Maybe I'll die, fuck it.

Well, it's about like that now. I'm worried, but I'm alive.

I don't really know what works for you, and I've hoenstly never been depressed so I don't know what it's like, but I've talked to one of my friends who was diagnosed and she's now doing better from the looks of it, according to her what helps her is having a meticulously planned daily routine, being immersed in repetitive actions (e.g working out, cleaning, work, traveling on week ends...) helps ease her mind from bad thoughts, so I guess the key is to always be busy enough to not let those thoughts creep in long enough to settle.

I think that's the wrong question. What would you consider you being "fixed"? If it is possible (or even rational - just because you desire something and it's possible doesn't mean it's going to satisfy you) then you can set about asking how to slowly build a lifestyle that will facilitate you attaining that 'fixed' state.
Also don't listen to that anon's "fucked up beyond repair" even if it's true - that doesn't mean you can't ameliorate it which is better than the alternative: continued or even worsening suffering.

Yes, you can. The brain is fairly malleable so you need to find a way to rewire your neural pathways. You achieve this through medication and therapy usually but you need to put in the work.

I take them, but they wont do anything if you don't put any effort into fundamentally (I really emphasize this) changing your approach/attitude toward life. They stabilize, they do NOT cure.

What is most grotesque, albeit forgivable, is not the pastors profane love for Gertrude, but Gertrude’s love for the pastor. As she has never experienced any sort of love, paternal or otherwise, and he is the only creature to ever show her love and compassion, it isn’t inconceivable she would fall in love with him. I do wonder why it developed so, and not into the more natural, paternalistic love a girl feels for her father. Perhaps it is simply her age; she is well into puberty and, as evidenced by her questioning the pastor as to whether she was pretty, is instinctively aware of her beauty and appeal to men. And as her senses are awakened, she is overwhelmed by the beauty she imagines the world to be and couldn’t fathom the pastor of being capable of any wrongdoing. The pastor being a religious and restrained, though curious, man would be particularly disposed to a young woman’s charm and beauty. But his culpability is inexcusable and no matter his relative innocence, he has adopted the duty of a father. His own marriage seems to only bring him dissatisfaction, complaining of his wife’s constrained and monotonous adherence to life and Christianity (“…it is with mistrust that she views every effort of the soul to find in Christianity something other than the domestication of our instincts” p34). It’s possible the pastor is utilizing Gertrude as a means of escaping his monotonous existence, and his feelings of love are insincere and merely reactionary, seeking expression from a much deeper desire to expand his domain of experience. He will find any justification, contort whatever scripture he must, to validate his perverse sentiments; blind to his immorality.

Cuckoldry has been synonymous with cheating on 4chan years ago. Getting cheated on is far worse than getting fetish fullfilment and it's disgusting how common cheating has become in 21st century.

Early 30s felt like there was still some joy to be extracted from life. I think 35 was the tipping point. You wake up one day and realise you are actually going to be 40. Fucking 40. You see those first solitary grey hairs appear. The things that used to excite you don't do it anymore. You never see your friends and when you do, its not the same. Memories of the past, good and bad, assault you all the time. And God help you if you have real regrets. Its absolutely true what they say, the pain of failure/rejection is nothing like the pain of regret.

You guys should really put down the books once in a while and pick up some pot or some booze. Maybe something harder.

Literally just be funny. Not one of those fucking clowns that cracks a joke every other statement, but someone that can input a few (mostly subtle) puns or quips into day to day conversation. So long as you aren't obnoxious or you own up to the irony of your shitty jokes and maintain a relaxed personality you will be enjoyable to be around. Also, don't be afraid of showing small spurts of emotion or exaltation, especially in the pursuit of the former point, like acting out a quick bit for a chuckle. Even if it's only once over an hour long conversation. If you insist on maintaining a mono-tone voice, try to convey more feeling with your face or mannerisms. If you have trouble with attempting to do any of this then I'm sorry, but you will have to practice with people; my suggestion to you is to look into any sort of acting classes, especially ones that focus on improv. One of the greatest decisions I made in my life was, unironically, choosing to attend a drama as literature class my senior year of highschool. It helped me break out of this whole 'I gotta maintain my composure so I appear cooler than I am to people' mindset. People want to be around other fun people, not Mr. Too-cool-for-emotion.

Well sure. Because you’re letting them have sex without you, instead of them letting themselves have sex without you. It is pretty much an end to the courtship.

Baby, it’s been a thing for all the centuries. People meet and mate and raise kids. Naturally they can drift apart after that. What’s sad is the pressures people impose on themselves that makes meeting and mating so frantic.
