I'll start:
I've been reading VALIS trilogy again.
I've been writing a novel (sci fi satire), but a lot of poetry too.
I've been smoking Chesterfield Reds.
I recently drank a bottle of nice, local GSM but tried to taper off the booze.
I drink oolong tea, or coffee, usually every day.
I only took cough medicine (DXM) recently, but it was mainly self reflective.

>>21565884
Just ease into it. Cocktails are a good way to enjoy the alcohol without mixing it with koolaid. I suggest Kahlua and Vodka (which are cheap, relatively), to make Black Russians if you like coffee. Or, you could try a lovely gin which are usually aromatic. There's Japanese stuff like Roku, but I suggest Tanqueray, especially the orange Seville variant.
Wine is nice, but it takes a while to get used to. Beer is good usually, but try a stout or something.

At this point in time, I tried the blog thing but had virtually no visitors, single digits.
I'm trying to branch out a little through tiktok in order to get traffic because my writing and advice is directed at children who had education development issues like I did (just adhd and motivation problems as well as being impulsive, also think Andrew Tate replacement).
But getting the website the way I want has been near impossible based on what I've dabbled into, I have to get into coding (jesus I forgot all the coding and programming I've put on the backburner) for the website development side.
>also have programming protoypes that I have to find investors for somehow

It's not just the blog, I want to create some sort of global/community polling system for issues sort of like any media website with likes. Monetize that somehow, or solely for the benefit of the world.

I'm not sure if I'm approaching things the right way but I appreciate your input.

/pol/ from 2012-2016 was full of real people. Mostly shitposters and people that had a sense of hymor, eveb if they had crazy ass beliefs. After 2016, the powers that be realized that /pol/ was important to the Internet exhosystem they ignored or thought wasn't important for some time and just shat it up with the worst of the worst posters. It was gradual, but after 2018, /pol/ was irreversibly infected with bot posts and gay shit like that. It did have some funny shit like the BLM riots in Israel, but for the most part it's the dystopic landscape you described. Don't be too hard on yourself.

The dissident left allies themselves with bourgeois academics, immigrants, LGBTQ+, banks, and billionaires to defeat the middle class and poor whites and their "fascist uprising" because it would be "far worse" than "what they have now." So the billionaires will keep telling leftists that the evil white fascists are RIGHT ABOUT TO WIN and they need to work together AS HARD AS POSSIBLE to COMPLETELY FUCKING DESTROY the middle class and poor classes, with the added benefit that it will, somehow, "unify the proletariat."

As I was reading the bible in my office at work today, I smelled a combination of semen and urine in my office. I knew the smell had to originate from near my crotch area, which was a little suspicious because I had showered today and I was wearing fresh undies. I didn't shower for three days earlier though, because my landlady has to change a gasket in my shower room. Evidently the filth from the last unwashed days had spoiled through my boxers into my pants. I went into the bathroom at work and took off my pants and smelled closely to triangulate the source. The source was found and I wetted a paper towel and added some hand soap and scrubbed the Area of Origination. I also dried the now wet part of my pants as best as I could. Still a noticeable water stain remained. But not to worry, I was able to sit in my office til it dried completely arousing no suspicion. The smell is gone and I'm very glad. Now there is an appointment in the evening I want to get to and these are my only good pair of pants. I'd like to wash and dry them thoroughly to be safe, but I won't have enough time for that. I'm going to risk it. I will wash them tonight and let them dry overnight, so tomorrow I will be a man with nothing to hide.

It can be a problem but the problems are specific, your focus on repeating vague propaganda lines isn't productive. You don't point out actual issues but use ancient propaganda to stoke resentment about your beloved magic token that apparently solves all problems.
The mechanism behind the token makes it represent potential. If you redistribute it you just change what it represents. Money locked in investment has a completely different effect than consumer money. Forcefully transforming investment money into consumer money, crippling investment for a short term boost to consumption is the road to bread lines.

The global culture can change, everyone wants real homes and everyone wants nationalism.

Why is it that postmodernist theorists always take the side of the "oppressed", in their words "the Other"?
How can they not see the hypocrisy of this position which while denying universality, utilizes universal claims?

[Anonymous No.21567562]

>>21567533
For example:
>Most of the leading postmodernists reject class politics in general on the grounds that it too is part of the >Enlightenment heritage. They point out that claims to the priority of class politics have historically been connected to the suppression of the interests of women, >people of color, gays and lesbians and others whose concerns escape a class framework.
So they reject class politics as an enlightenment Universalist narrative, while replacing it with a Universalist narrative about "minorities", who just take the place of the proletarian oppressed underclass.
Seems hypocritical

I'm also confused about the relationship between postmodernism and politics.
When one looks at its roots in surrealism one finds a tendency towards fascism, with its distrust of reason and fascination with recreating mythology for the modern era, yet today postmodern thought seems closely associated with leftist identity politics, which explicitly drew from Derrida's notion of deconstructing binaries and hierarchies.

That's a very postmodern view of history, thinking that current sentiment will override historic fact, and I see why you would feel threatened by Derrida's assertion that such erasures are an admission by their presence.

You're such a stereotype. Defenders of postmodern philosophy love to obfuscate and claim everything is postmodernism, so their views can never be attacked or criticized.
I don't know what you mean about sentiment overriding historic fact, it is a historic fact that contemporary leftist identity politics drew from Derrida's notion of deconstructing binaries.
Most would consider Derrida a postmodern philosopher, and his view is very clearly the heritage of much if not all contemporary Leftist rhetoric.
For instance trans activists speak in the exact same language about deconstructing "gender binaries".
All I was asking was about the association between postmodern thought and politics.
Because the intellectual heritage of postmodern philosophy can be traced back to Bataille and surrealism--which tended either towards Fascism or Communism.

I'll be very blunt today. I told a friend of mine (a fat one) he smelled bad and I'm pretty sure I've cursed him with that knowledge. He's very sincere himself (to the point of being straight up rude sometimes) but I know he has a very low self-esteem so I'm betting this will have negative ramifications on our relationship. Alas, what can one do in the face of pungency? It took me months to build up the resolve to say something. The fucker had a dark-chemical attuned aura around him all summer.
Feeling particularly sensitive today, I had to resist the urge to vomit and it was too much. So I said it and the moment the words left my mouth, I swear it felt like opening Pandora's box or something. I instantly knew I hurt his ego but he was at fault. He's still at fault. I'm pretty sure he doesn't change clothes so it isn't a genetic or fat shaming thing (I've caught him wearing the same shirts over the course of DAYS). Anyways. I did it. I imagine he must've double checked his smell coming back home, incredulous at the thought of other people smelling his bad body odor all day.

The guy has a girlfriend. I probably would've fucking puked all over his body if I was her and found him naked after a long summer day, so she probably has long covid. Or perhaps she owes him a life debt. In any case he's a nice, sincere guy and I think I saved his career by telling him the truth. Thankfully it's only winter.

I'm in a Chinese restaurant. I'm eating with some friends and nearby there's a group of people from HS I haven't thought about in years. Some older guy comes up and asks me to pay for his dinner, I'm in a good mood so I say sure. As I'm leaving the restaurant this girl I went to HS with comes up to me and says thanks for paying for her dad's meal. She gets in my truck with me and we start talking and catch up.

We go back to this restaurant several times and the girl is somehow now my gf. Every time, the dad is there too and asks me to pay for him. He pays me back by giving me a baseball card. Next time I'm back at the restaurant and the dad is pissed at me saying I ripped him off and that I need to give him the card back. He turns into a rabid dog and I grab him by the scruff of his neck as he's spazzing out trying to bite me. I throw him outside the front door and go back inside to eat.

When I come out, the paint on my truck is all scratched and fucked up. I suddenly have bolt cutters in my hand and I go find his truck. I smash a tail light and windshield. He shows up (as a human) and I beat the shit out of him. There's a large crowd watching and as I'm walking away a British dude comes up to me to offer me boxing lessons.

I honestly feel bad for the younger generations going through school today. Every aspect of their humanity is mediated through machines. Now people are saying that they won't even learn how to write any more thanks to AI chatbots. They're going to become barely sentient regressed techno-savages, extremely dependent on corporate tech controls for basic modes of expression , completely alienated from their minds. They'll never know the beauty and wonder of a keen intellect, or the crisp satisfaction of expressing a clever thought just right. To be able to write is to be master of oneself, to command one's thoughts, and order one's mental universe. It is a subtle kind of freedom which we're depriving humanity of in the sick name of cheap convenience and bedazzling tech tricks.

>What do you read if at all?
The Holy Bible, and some forum posts and etymology and dictionaries. Sometimes Edgar Allan Poe or Jonathan Swift--; such that-- I will revisit them once in a blue moon. Sometimes you will catch me reading some travel blogs.
>What do you write if at all?
forum posts, notes on the bible, and if i see any words and sentences that i like I will write them down often and repost them on some of my favorite forums. The last two and a half years I have mainly been generating AI content. Also the occasional flash fiction on conspiracy theory forum that shall not be named if i read that people don't mind and i don't care more or less.
>What do you smoke if at all?
sunshine. i order an uber to somewhere and walk home for hours and get "high" off the sun. well maybe its not a cool oral/respiratory thing but its the same thing as burning off chemicals in a pipe but where the pipe is in your skin and you still get cancer from it a bitch. and i do trip a lot on my way back.

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the third world
Maybe it's his first time around
Doesn't speak language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterings and orphanages
He looks around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says, "Amen and Hallelujah!"

I just recently started supplementing zinc again. As always, it has made me extremely horny. But this time it's like a different beast entirely. I had a dream last night that a chubby blonde told me to kiss her feet. I did, she then jammed her toes into my mouth while giggling, and the taste made me cum. I
woke up with completely soaked boxers, covered in my own cum, and had to get out of bed at 3 in the night to change.
Went back to sleep, dreamt about the SAME FUCKING GIRL, and this time, she pushed me down on my back and sat on my face, and I fucking came AGAIN, and had to get up AGAIN at 5 in the morning to switch my boxers once more.
Couldn't sleep after that and felt drained the entire day. Some fucking succubus invaded my dream and made me not imagine, but vividly and viscerally smell the smell.

I have noticed that Orthodox Christians are way more specific about what beliefs are correct and what is incorrect. They are very precise about everything.
In contrast, a lot of protestants these days are sort of vague and wishy washy and like "Well I don't really believe that but if you believe it that's fine, it's not that important anyway". And I'm not even talking about gay liberal Anglicans or whatever. Even the more conservative types of protestants tend to be vague on a lot of things.

It been rebranded to Snap years ago and its selling point was always that it notified you if someone was keeping receipts. That's why people started taking pictures of their phones with other phones.
Times have moved on so far that screenshots don't even count as receipts now, because they're presumed shopped, and that's why to demonstrate a conversation really happened with the person you say you have to video your phone and scroll and show clicking their account brings you to their actual account and not a spoofed one set up for purposes of trolling.

No. That's a generic term. Its a word that specifically defines that drop that hangs at the end of the nose. When the word is said, there is no ambiguity as to what is being referred to. I swear, its a word, god damn it!

I say go for it, give it a try. The pay should be commensurate especially if you don't have anything going on in life at the moment. If you don't like it worst comes to worst you'll have the experience of working on a boat for a half year or so, and a proper bundle of cash. Perhaps even a few interesting stories too, not to mention some frosting for your CV.

My grandfather worked on a fishing boat for a short time in his youth. It was his friend's company I believe, and during times of prohibition they did some smuggling on the side for good measure, though I'm not sure whether my grandpa took part in that since he was well employed in electrician's work around town and the harbor. From what little he told me, it's hard work and they were offshore for a long time. I'm sure it's very different to work on other types of vessels, and indeed it was a different time as well. Modern ships would probably be considered luxurious by comparison.

Nothing is more beautiful than skill.

I really hate my job, but I feel almost like an idiot to give it up because it's fully remote and they expect very little time investment on my part. Still, I've been at it for 4 years now and it's not what I want to do in the long run.

I would have to concur. A master in his craft is the highest form of art.

Yeah I just got a remote job doesnt start yet. At first i was happy but now I'm having second thoughts. It might just reinforce my anti social tendencies.

It will. Some remote jobs have you constantly talking to people in video or voice calls, but it doesn't replace in-person interaction. I still wouldn't want to go back to the office though. I don't really miss that in-person interaction because it's not like it was fun. Those people weren't my friends. I just wish I had a more worthwhile job. This job is like halfway to being good.

I wish something interesting had come along.
