I second guess things that should be obvious to me, especially things about myself.

>Do i really like reading or am i just larping?
>Could i get good at this thing or is thst just a fairy tale fantasy? Do i posses the necessary strenght of character?
>Can i do the things that people normally do? Am i retarded?

This might be a result of living in complete social recluse since age 15. I spent entirety of my adult life in my own head so i don't know anything about the material realities and myself.

The last time i had a conversation with a friend was six years ago.

That's strange, because when I was living in the Netherlands, a nominally Protestant country, Catholic masses had lots of young people and most Protestant churches were dead. I did go to a mass at Wuppertal and that was fairly populated, but also that whole town was kinda weird.

> I don't think calvinism will disappear, but I also don't think it's relevant.
I'd prefer if it didn't dissappear. I guess I'm vocalizing my anxieties about your tradition. While Calvinism is obviously not an instutional body, there are instutional churches within that tradition and some of them are really struggling. Presbyterians and the Dutch Reformed Church come to mind in particular. Still, mea culpa.

> ordained priesthood seems ad hoc
Not from the historical sources I've read, but ymmv because I don't expect people to go through all that stuff. Imo though I think the succession through the apostles for that priesthood is apparent in Acts.

Giving authority is interesting. I would say the fallacy here is that the authority is somehow 1) institutionalized and 2) heritable as such. That the authority is then kept exclusive to the institution is an even bigger problem. It really bothers me to learn about the medevial Church executing people for preaching the gospel.
I think the Day of Pentecost shows that the Holy Spirit can descend upon people freely. I don't think the Holy Spirit is kept corralled in an institution like that.

Many of us foolishly view the individual desire for change in one's life as this "beacon from high above", coming from an unknowable source, not to be questioned, only to be waited for. And so we descend into hedonism because there is never some strong internal impulse to get your life together. Well I am here to say that such a view is bunk. If something as simple as drinking coffee on an empty stomach can radically alter my emotional attitude towards everything, then surely all of my internal drives are similarly grounded in reality, physical and beholden to the same rules. So instead of waiting for that "magic signal" recognize that such a thing will almost never arrive, and that one must create the drive within themselves. Because being a shitty hikkikomori fucking sucks and is a straight path to misery and suicide.
Determine rationally what one values, and then make yourself want it. Your internal drives are flawed and foolish. Disregard them.
Some examples of how the driving impulse is not to be worshipped: gambling has none of its infamous pull until you start playing and losing. A videogame only starts becoming exciting once you've felt it challenge you. Working out becomes way more enticing once you've already done it.
You need to force yourself into it, and once you're in, it becomes way easier. Recognize the bounded mechanisms of your brain. Make a better, less naive strategy.

I think the most reasonable explanation is that since he was arguing with his wife that day, he really wanted to get her shit back to make it up to her, so, after having a bit too much to drink, he swam down to retrieve it but accidentally went a bit further than he should've and just didn't have enough time to swim back to the surface, especially considering the state he was in.

I wonder whether my contrarian instincts stem from being the person who always got ganged up on in family arguments ever since I was a child. Nobody ever stood up for me, I only ever had myself to rely on. The majority was always wrong, irrational, and authoritarian in their arguments. Nobody cared what I had to say, and even if they did listen, they practically never understood me, and even when they did, they pretended not to understand it to defend their points, and when they couldn't do so, they just resorted to ad hominems or appeals to authority. It was all futile. Sociologists usually say that the youngest member of the family is always the most spoiled and most beloved, but in my case it only meant being everyone's punching bag because they all knew I possessed the least means to do anything about it. It and my school experiences did cause me to grow up extremely cynical of other people, so I guess at the very least I got that out of the way as early as possible.

I just can't stick to things even if I'm enjoying them. For example, I started learning HTML last week because I wanted to complete the first challenge on hackthissite, so I went to the website that they suggested and I learnt just enough to be able to complete the challenge, it was fun, I enjoyed doing HTML and I enjoyed completing the challenge. I haven't touched HTML since. I'm by no means good at it, I just learn enough to complete the challenge, there's so much more to learn but despite me enjoying it and despite me wanting to learn to program for basically my entire life, I just gave up, I can't bring myself to keep learning it, I don't know why.

I know how you feel. It sucks to have something beneficial to you, which you truly enjoy, only to refuse it for no reason and spend your time doing things you hate instead. I have no clue why I am like this, nor how to fix it. I don't think there's even any way to fix it other than to just force myself to do it, but to me discipline is a very limited resource.

There are whole realms of normal human life that normal people inherently experience that only exist for me as abstract concepts. They will always be abstract concepts. My distress at this grows and grows. A life in such a state is not worth living. Nothing can be done to resolve this and make it worth it. Yet I still havent killed myself. Pathetic, faggy whining and complaining. I am far, far too vain. Maybe I will still be writing this drivel in 10 years. Life isnt worth it! Suicide! Soon! Yet it never happens. I dont seem to get any closer to resolving this at all. Purgatory of vanity.

"The college experience" Depends so much on how you interact with your time in university that its really just a "forced to be around people with a minimal common interest" experience.

It's just the halo effect. Whites are currently the master race so looking white gives you a boost in status and you become more attractive.

I'm so tired of coming to work, attempting to reach unrealistic quotas and expectations, failing, the company adamantly refusing to adjust expectations, working 6 days a week to get caught up or having my hours cut in spite of being behind on processing and to top it all off, being underpaid. I suppose it's most profitable for a company to shovel more work on less people but it's certainly not moral. Can't quit because I'm a white male and I do not fill diversity quotas in Canada. It's been 10 years at this job and my job has only gotten harder. I'm so tired.

I need to get rich quick. My wife-to-be is going to inherit a lovely property in the country. I want to escape urban society and just move there. But I need money for certain construction/renovation projects on the land. I also cannot be seen as a parasite/pimp subsisting from a dowry. I want it to be known by everybody that I am a man of honour and dignity, so that people will see me as a true patriarch and not just a trickster. I want to have 6 children that I can homeschool and put to work on the land. I need a truck, a firearms license and a shotgun, tools, a writing hut, a place to store books, weightlifting equipment, mats to teach my boys how to wrestle & fight, a place that can be used as a classroom.
Unfortunately I am from a poor family, unlike her. I have skills in computer programming and have some ideas for mobile apps I could design. I also am leaving university in a couple of months and will probably land a job in tech (interviews are going good). I'll put all my wage into crypto or stocks or my business ideas.
Hopefully I can make it before I turn 25, which will be in 5 years. Then I will escape society and become a great writer, patriarch, and husband.

take for instance the funko pop consumer,

There was this metaphor in Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, where the god Om compared a god being worshipped for a time to a bird flying in absolute darkness and solitude, then entering through a window into a room full of light and warmth and then having to fly out again knowing they can never come back
That's kind of how I feel after my first year at university. I spent years alone, either completely isolated during covid or working a night job with no coworkers after that, and got so used to being by myself I didn't miss people.
Then I went to university, met all these people who I enjoyed spending time with and talking to, who I shared interests with, and if I went even a couple days without contact to them I'd get anxious.
And I know that I will never form lasting bonds with any of them just like I never did before with anyone else, and then I'll be alone again and before that meant nothing to me but now I'm anxious about it.

from what i've seen of normalcy, they value being meaninglessly indirect, and having small talk to avow that you are san e before starting any meaningful conversation with you. if you bring somethng, hopfully they will ask about it, and the conversation will feel more natural.

if bringing a book, try some non hoe scaring lit that they will have vaguely heard of, like dune.

yep, x thought that it couldn't get worse or better and got all nihilistic about everything since. Ngl, this is where zoomies do better, unlike the x, zoomies didn't succumb to apathy part of nihilism and do somethig in spite of absurditiy, rarely see any bitter zoomies as their old man, despite the fact they know they most likely will die alone, never owning anything and even saying that they have ''given up'' but still keep going; almost as if even they themselves refuse to agree that they have given up. Or maybe they are too retarded to give up, either way the point is its better to feel retarded than not to feel at all.

I had a group of friends from back during my good ol fascist days of 2017 to 2019. In the past couple years they've all been taken in by BAP and the "Manosphere." They've slowly morphed into ardent and outright zionists, and now they want America to nuke Iran. They now say the same basic tenants of fascism that we used to all share is actually third worldism and crypto communism. BAP really was a Trojan horse.
