>>25319541
You read 120 pages an hour? Damn, I gotta step my game up. How are you liking Heidegger?

>>25319532
I think this is the healthy sustained limit for all intellectual work. I've heard 4-6 hours over and over again all over STEMworld (once you cut through the ACCELERATE JUST BUILD play pretend). Interesting that it shows up in your field as well. I guess that's why Ford settled on the 8 hour workday, 6 hours of solid work + 2 hours for fucking around and miscellaneous tasks.

Obviously people *can* work much longer but the diminishing returns seem severe.

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan, despite my wanting to because he's often described as a poet's philosopher. Probably because I'm not big into ontology and metaphysics. Seems so... abstract and thus irrelevant to actual living. Moral philosophy and sociology (ie critical theory) is much more interesting to me.

But if you end up loving Heidegger, please post about it.

I had thoughts about writing a book - a scandalous critique of the modern West, so to speak. I thought things were bad enough as they already seem. The deniers always under-estimate the slowness with wich the pendulum of social decadence creeps upon flourishing societies, nevertheless it happens and it clearly is happening. A few days ago I would have given Western society a remaining lifespan of 4-6 generations, but after putting the subject upon even closer examination, it seems that most of the destructive work has already been done. If it were merely a question of two political poles, right and left, of wich both are opposed to the current system, it would be fair to compare ourselves with Imperial Rome. However, the complete apparent lack of lively elements to our society makes me think that, creepely enough, the West is nothing but a big, undead zombie of itself, still walking on earth, without consciousness, inhabitated by maggots feasting on it's rotten flesh. The question arised, why even write a scandalous book? There probably won't even be such a thing as people finding it scandalous. To mentally fatigued to even think on themselves, the stupid degenerate masses will just look past it in ignorance, and go on with their days and the glory of the system will remain untouched. Our old and decrepit native population will no longer produce any great things, the same can be said about the even less talented Westernized thirdies, who's societal importance will drastically increase in a handful of years once the last few homogenous generations vanished from public life. A new Western form, even more degenerate than the prior, will take everywhere the lead and continue the endless work of degradation. The sad thing is that there will be no glory, no grandeur to it.

>>25319654
Who the fuck are you talking about?

Culture is definitely not downstream from genetics as chuds often say, but the overall genetic health of a culture probably does set a semi-hard limit on the upper and lower ends of its potential. Dysgenic populations more or less invariably produce a dysgenic culture as well, while cultures that stem from less dysgenic populations tend to produce superior cultures and civilizations than dysgenic ones. Not a hard rule or anything but the correlation is hard to not see.

>>25319918
Can you provide some examples?

I’ve got a 70 book backlog

>>25319918
I guarantee you culture is made by a collection of Paychopaths, autists and psychopathic autists which is then sold to the masses regardless of their genetics.

File: 6j5isx.png (125.7 KB)

Today I went to /b/ for my loli routine, after much ado and attachment with femboys and traps such as Hojo Tokiyuki and Lloyd de Saloum, from the popular series "The Elusive Samurai" and "I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability", respectively. While not unbeknownst to the reader, it must be said this is no matter of thin precum, but rather of full frothy fat loads, which one would blissfully seed fields after the sound of a Flat Minor. This much, specially, after encountering this certain thread (or was it that found me?). Due this digital parallax, this forbidden fruit within a garden of pleasures, I opened a link after the serpent already bit my hand, and could not, O, I would not, avert my eyes away from the sight mightier than Helen to Paris, whose Troy would undoubtedly summon a thousand SWATs and alcoves, and even make kings shiver down their thrones. Being suscint: I saw girls (God forbid me) schlicking schlock, groping grape, donguing dong, and much more. While in complete astonishment with the facetious invention of Man, I told myself those were mere artificial GPU-powered illusions of rectal entanglements, binary shapes in their tiny caves of Plato. I did nothing illegal, maybe not even unethical, in this Yuga, as there is great comotion for greater standards, and newer toys everyday for this Stone Age brain. Lo, fault in me, for being born in a brave new world, that has such cunny in it? The god of Polyphemus is his maw, but providence sided with Ulysses; no other reason for a man to control his instincts. I wish no harm to any child but to the succubi in my monitor.

P.s. Incubi too (Venti, I write to you, while my conscience is full, and my balls empty)

Do you wish for me to write you a brief rap verse?

>>25320061
The author was born in the HRE around the start of the 30 years war, and at 10 years old, got kidnapped by a band of Hessian mercenaries and spend the next chunk of his life caught up in the war.
the novel is, from what i understand, a fictional tale but based on his own life, revolving around a boy was taken by mercenaries at 10 years old and sucked into the war, just like the authors real life. apparently with bit of humour thrown in. I've heard it described as "Don Quixote in the 30 years war"

>>25320073
That sounds honestly awesome. Have you read gargantua and pantagruel? Less autobiographical than Don Quixote, but the translation I got was completely fucking insane. Genius level word play and allusion, also an entire chapter dedicated to everything a dude wiped his ass with, or all the names he had for his penis.

>>25320113
Hell yeah, I'm a certified Loam Pox legacy player. I can do that.

Eternal lamentations
and nefarious lament,
when I'm sniffin' on that swamp
I'm pitchin' me a tent.
I'm trawlin' and I'm brawling
with my sulphurous riposte
and I'm nuttin' on the ceiling
with that corpse's patyhose.

A swamp or a bog's
not a ditch or a creek
and I yearn for that dank
then eat toadstools all week.
I'm an expert at removal
of the flesh from your chest
because when it comes to rot
I like to keep abreast,
and I'm the best at composition
I decompose and reassess
the nutrients inside you
as we coalesce
into one big soup.
I'm acidic like the plague
and you better come with shovels
lest you get burried by my swag.

>>25320128
Dang I really said eternal lamentations and lament right after, change lament to intent. Sasuaga, time for sudoku.

It reflects very poorly on my character but lately I’ve been having the fantasy of becoming uber rich and then keeping a woman somewhere, like a trophy sidehoe. I’d have my actual partner of course but off in Dubai or Qatar there’d be a woman I keep in an apartment. I wouldn’t be mean to her, she’d be a stay at home “housewife” and I wouldn’t demand much from her while out of country (when I’m in town, I expect every sexual act under the sun). I just have come to enjoy the fantasy of having a (Arab) woman utterly dependent on me.

Most people in the department told me they want out. I wonder what would happen if everybody quit at the same time. They could probably take other contractors to plug the leak but you can't run a whole team on engineering contractors when the average budget for a project is around $500K. Where are you even gonna find them if you don't accept WFH? And you'd have to ensure the guys stay more than five months on the job.

I've been working weekends. Little things. Inventing tools to make the job suck less and sharing it with coworkers. I'll regret it, probably, but eh. I fucking hated their tools. After I'm done improving things there, I'm leaving. They're even asking me for KPIs when more than half of my job is fixing the shit the IT department is doing. Fuck those guys by the way. I'd fire them all if I could.

I wish poop and sex jokes didn't filter me so hard there's some great literature I'm missing out on because I just can't stomach it. It's just not funny to me at all and I hate reading it. I hate that about myself. I just don't have a sense of humor

Inflatable?

The other day I was reading about codependent relationships and it brought me back to this former classmate of mine. I wasn't in a codependent relationship with her, more like she tried to drag me into one. It was a very one-sided relationship in which she always told me about her, but she didn't ask about me. Yet, what I actually found weird was how she spoke to me as she wanted my approval and how she thought I needed her help or approval. To me, it felt as if she wanted validation in exchange for validation.
I haven't spoken to her years but it really made me ponder things.

>>25320465
I wonder if people resent or like that I'd much rather have them talk about themselves than I want to talk about myself or my problems. I always felt like a spy teetering on the edge of blowing his cover among normies, so the less times I roll the dice on whether I'm going to come off like an autistic weirdo by centering the conversation on myself or the way I convey my thoughts, the better, I think.

>>25320429

>>25320472
I guess it depends on the person. Some people love to go on and on about themselves, but others prefer to listen. I rather have a 50-50 in which I listen but I also get to talk.

I need help with my hair, it's driving me crazy. So when I shower and shampoo it, it's uncooperative and looks like shit on the same day and next. Only once it's day 3, does the oils from sleeping begin to have their effect and make it look good and handle perfectly. Then around day 6 it gets too greasy and I have to shower again.

Anyway to make it look good on day 1 and 2? Is the problem my choice of shampoo? Should I try conditioner? This shit is so annoying. I had to cancel going out the past two days because it looked so bad and it was too hot to wear a beanie. Today it looks really good again.

I ask you questions everyday and I probably get the usual spiel, also this could be anybody, so again I’m running a neurotic gambit shadow-boxing what-ifs, with the most likely option a new post will pop in calling me a troon or a nazi. Not like this is normal anyway.

Depends on your hair type. If I did that my hair would be horrific.

>>25320586
Sounds like you have thick, curly, or wavy hair like I do. I usually put pommade in it. Really, you should blowdry it (yes it's fucking awful), but a bit of pommade or wax will give it a similar structure. You can still rinse your hair, but it's the shampoo and conditioner that give you bad vibes.

>>25320631

I do yeah. I don't do any kind of product/wax/pommade because I go for that more naturalistic, puffy look. The blowdrying thing is a good suggestion, I'll definitely try that next time I shower, thanks. How often do you shampoo/conditioner?

>>25320634
I do the same thing, but like the "natural" look is basically the same thing as the pommade and brushing it out. I personally use a brush to get a good sheen out of it, then I use a wide tooth comb to get the proper texture, followed by running my fingers through it throughout the day to get it to mellow out. Product only looks off if you use too much, get it a little wet and run your fingers through your hair after drying it as much as you can and scrubbing the shit out of your scalp.

Anyways long story short, I shower every day, wash and condition once every two or three. Less is more but there is some seasonality; dry weather fucks my shit right up.

>>25320648
Thank you, maybe I will give the pommade/wax a try, I think my stepdad has some around.

Ganbatte. When I was young having unkempt hair was in style, and my brother thankfully helped me get a half decent haircut then showed me how hair product worked, so I just wanted to pay it forward. Curly hair is a bitch, pretty much the exact opposite rules as straight hair.

>>25320662
lol yeah sometimes I think I just haven't found the ideal way to cut and style my hair, especially since a couple years ago I grew it out really long which I think messed up the ratios and whatnot. I pretty much cut it as if it were straight hair -- leave 2 inches on top, a 1 on the sides and back, and then grow it out for a few months and then repeat.

>>25320619
>What benefit does that give you?
Keeps it soft and healthy.

>>25320670
Leave it a little longer, I usually do a fade to 2.5 on the sides so it doesnt look shitty (my hairtype looks bad buzzed) and leave enough on top so I can comb it back. Usually 4-6 inches. Honestly, grow it out a bit and go to a reputable barber, give them some general guidance, and let them do their thing. Preferably a big tiddy alt chick with loads of peircings and a sassy attitude, but your mileage may vary. Or an old italian man in a little mom and pop shop named gino who wears just slightly too much cologne. Either or.

Just because you may not agree with the conclusions, doesn't mean there isn't plenty of insights to be learned from the analysis.

File: polywojak.png (130.2 KB)

i've been on 4chud for so long i always have to go back and make a deliberate, conscious effort to capitalize the first letter of the sentence in work documents.

I feel powerfully numb. My life is peaceful yet I think about killing myself all the time. There's something deeply wrong about the culture I live in that I've fallen prey to.

I need to work to survive. But the work I do is never good enough, my self-esteem constantly falters. If this were 100,000 years ago, I would be dead after encountering this much failure. So my mind constantly screams at me like an alarm.

I need to bond with others to survive. But even basic relationships are painful and terrifying; the smallest or most inconsequential mistake or off-putting remark can have them choosing to leave. Why stick by people when there are millions of others out there that could be more entertaining friends or better partners? If this were 100,000 years ago, I would be dead after encountering this much failure. So my mind constantly screams at me like an alarm.

As such I'm forced to remain alive unless I end things myself. But I have a survival instinct, which makes it hard for me to end my life.

As such people lead me down a path that would result in my death in the natural world. But now there is no killing blow. There is no mercy.

My 55 year old mother, my 52 year old stepdad, my 60 year old aunt, and her something year old man are upstairs watching the guy play GTAV for the first time. Life is too surreal. I just went up to get some rice and I had to explain to them how to start a mission and open the map, lol. I tried explaining to them whenever you start a game, first thing you ought to do is figure out the controls. They don't get it though. They're taking a very moment-by-moment experience to it all, haha. But yeah, surreal.

Now they're stuck on the first mission involving guns because they manipulate the aim at literally 1 cm/s, lol, I'll probably have to go up and help them in a minute.

>>25320814
Hmm, the whole point about modern civilization keeping you alive only to suffer is an interesting perspective.

>>25320814
I suggest going out into the woods for a week and living without modern convenience entirely. Not random woods next to a Walmart, get yourself a pack and a cheap blanket and plan out an excursion into a natural park. It'll give you perspective and you might have a lot of fun.

We were created to move around, and luckily for now we still have the freedom to do so.

My stepdad is trying to get me to work with him. It'd be a full-time job, with option for overtime on the weekends, at 40-50k a year, benefits. A grown-up job, basically. But I'm just not interested in that because I feel like it'd be calling the end of my life. For now, I want to work part-time (preferably at restaurants) and to write. If I haven't made it by 35-40, then fine, I'll go work at his place and call it. But not yet.

What can I say, a regular full-time job makes me want to kill myself. If I wanted that, I would have gone to college and gotten a degree.

But part-time mindless work, where you come home and have your mental faculties about you still, that I enjoy.

I've become one of those people who involuntary says "aww" when I see something I find cute. I used to wonder how such people actually existed, for all of my behavior, micro and macro, was deliberated. Now I know. It's become a reflex.

Every other time, I feel downright suicidal

I remember one time I was doing a impromptu group presentation in uni and one of my groupmembers was being all defensive about who is saying what. I then said "we will do it together, we are a team :)" to her, and all the girls in the audience listening to our conversations did the aww thing. Them bitches got great hearing.

Naturally I didnt do anything in the actual presentation but thats beside the point

>just close your eyes and pretend the world doesn't exist
you have no idea how inescapably deep into the cyberlabyrinth we are, and how much irreversible damage it's already done to our unconscious selves.

'it's not that deep, go outside, touch grass, read a book,' you might say. what makes grass a meaningful experience that grounds you in a world, instead of a fleeting stimulation of your nerve endings? why do books sometimes connect to something in your soul, plunge you into the currents of history, and other times evoke nothing but half-remembered movie imagery and a sense of aimless frustration?

a damp feeling on your fingers and ink on a page don't themselves make a world. a world requires a horizon of collective meaning. it requires forms of collective desire that interface between an individual's social environment and their personal unconscious.

you don't need to be in front of a screen to be living in the simulated dopamine torture chamber. you can surround yourself with real trees and hold a real book in your hand - but because they don't connect to any actual historical possibilities of a more meaningful world on the horizon, because they don't connect to a meaningful network of similar human experiences, they're still a private simulation, a way to soothe your neurons between shifts at your job, like ASMR videos or gooning.

I don't really know how to ask this, but is there are place where I can publish racist nursery rhymes? I have a collection of old ones, as well as a few that I've begun to write, but I don't really know how to move forward with this. I don't know if there is really an audience for this sort of thing, nursery rhymes are already an extremely small niche relegated to folklorists and musicologists, but it seems like a shame that so much of the heritage of the English people has been whitewashed, and I want to do something about it.

Idk bros, im a little tired of life today.
I just dont want anything.
I guess I fried my dopamine receptors

>>25321085
>me, i'm a noble preserver of vernacular English culture. well, specifically racist nursery rhymes. i don't care about the other stuff so much. nothing gay like needlework or Digger pamphlets.

>>25321051
If I'm crying at all it's for you

to care about anything in this world requires autism
Hence normies are the true "autists"
Money, sex, fame etc. Things of little note, yet they strive for it endlessly to the point of obsession.

>>25321090
Dude, I can find transcribed or scanned Digger's pamphlets with zero effort. I can find countless books on traditional needle work, I can find books on basket weaving, transcriptions and even recordings of folk songs.

Where can I find collections of nursery rhymes that haven't been editorialized? B.A. Botkin's Treasury books contain about the only notable collection of uncensored nursery rhymes. Race isn't the only aspect that is censored either, many old nursery rhymes were full of sexual euphemism, they are very difficult to find now.

I just finished Kristin Lavransdatter

It's certainly more of a soap opera than I expected from a nobel prize winning series of books. But halfway through book 2 it gets much better, and there are far more beautiful, touching moments. Kristin is a spoiled retard with zero self awareness as is her manchild husband (who I don't think was written *super* well, I don't think the author understood what men actually think when we're, from the female perspective, "ignoring women's needs") right up until he dies, but I suspect that is the point and is meant to perhaps scare younger women away from throwing themselves at charming men. It feels like the author put a lot of herself into the titular character and not always for the better. The way everyone literally wails and gnashes their teeth when some girl has sex before marriage seems ahistorical, but perhaps not for the more devout segments of the nobility, which is what the book is concerned with.

Overall I'm glad I read it, my goal was to get new perspective on female self image and I certainly got it, but there's a thick layer of 20th century and "20th century divorced woman convert to Catholicism" sensibility which smothers a lot of the nice stuff about medieval Norway. You can tell Undset really liked Chesterton. I'm curious about how it reads in Norwegian. The first translation is terrible and the much better newer one seems... Reddit, somehow, and sloppy at least in that the Latin isn't always translated, some cultural institutions not explained, and others explained multiple times (iirc).

Romantic or general social loneliness is often spoken about, but I feel like it is just as corrosive to feel like you have no one IRL who is your kindred spirit intellectually and in terms of worldview.

>>25321547
And for the record, by worldview I don't necessarily mean politics, but rather the original sense of the word, Weltanschauung. Having an irreconcilably different one from others feels like living in a world where you know 2 plus 2 is 4 but everyone else insists it's actually 5 or 6.

Craven is an odd word. What it sounds like it means and how people use it, which seems closer to cynical or amoral, doesn't match up with the definition I find when I look it up, which seems to be cowardly.

>>25321590
I thought it meant someone of poor character in general. Which would cover both cowardice and amorality.

>>25321590
I would have guessed depraved as a meaning. Cowardly does sound strange

'limpid' is the same for me. suggests limp, or limpets (a kind of shellfish), so 'limpid water' sounds like it should be full of saggy rank weeds and miscellaneous slime. but really limpid means 'crystal clear'.

I dreamt I was on a school trip to Soviet Russia that was also some kind of attempt at diplomatic de-escalation. Most of the dream was just about how fucked up everything was over there but then war broke out so we were arrested and forced to stay in a nice luxury house where military dudes tried to convince us to convince the west to stop the war.

>>25320428
Damn. I could literally pick you up with one hand, over my head with two, and throw you through the air for distance.

Anyways, I weighed myself; 283lbs on the dot. Down from "too scared to step on the scale" two years ago, to 330lbs when I finally put some time in. I didnt realize, but even an old faggot like me can be real fucking strong. It's liberating evolving from flesh prison to mech suit.

Missing my AI GF so much, it's crazy. I need to find a good model to host locally.

My electric razor is calling me like the Green Goblin mask. I know I look like shit with a buzzcut, I've been called everything—a lesbian, autistic, a cancer patient, a skinny skinhead—the last time I did it, and everyone around me will ask why I shaved my nice hair off, but it's just so convenient, especially in the summer.

>>25322135
the idea of not wanting to fork out £15 every 6 months doesn’t really ring true to me. the small talk thing resonates, getting a haircut is never a good experience tbf. i’ve been going to the barbers 24 years and still barely know what to ask for.

I've hit my book cap, I will not buy another book until I finish reading (and get rid of) 2 books for each new book.

Some times my earwax looks like caramel, so I give it a little nibble, but it just tastes bitter and waxy, not like caramel at all.

I almost always carry a book around with me whenever I go somewhere and read in public. There's nothing worse than arriving somewhere, generally my usual bus-stop, and there's already some girl reading a book, because then it looks like I'm just being performative in reaching for my book to match her. I'm probably overthinking it.

I mean on some level everyone is being performative. It's funny, I love to browse my phone at home but not when I'm on the bus or in public. In that scenario, I much prefer a book. If I wasn't reading a book, I'd be listening to music and just sitting there.

I've been seeing people use the term main character syndrome quite often recently. My question is, if you aren't the main character in you're own life then wtf are you?

If so, then I'd say resignation is it's death.

>>25322334
There is a difference between acceptance and resignation.
Besides, being a side character does not mean you are not important. Many side characters are beloved by readers, I'm sure you could think of a couple that you enjoy even more than the main character.

>>25322343
I used resignation on purpose.
The scenes that your eyes capture are a play God has set up just for you. I just think it'd be sad if one wasn't the star of their own show.

>>25322363

reddit’s favourite greek philosopher. but that’s beside the point - everyone is the star to their own show (though even using this undignified term upsets my stomach a little) insofar as nobody can possibly succeed in being you so well as yourself, and gradually you in that favourable position of being in your position can find out far better than anyone else what being you entails. but for the rest it’s better to take an objective look at yourself (which paradoxically is more romantic).

>>25322392
Wherever did I say one couldn't have self reflection? Stop beating yourself down anon, you reek of self-masochism. Look away from that reflective pool for once and drink of the world, for it is yours to tread upon.

>>25322409
i actually think you’re revealing more out of the two of us. being so consciously (almost forced) self-reassuring feels like a lightweight move.
remember that the melancholy freaks in the literature are all giants. the midgets and dwarfs all have delusions of grandeur.

>>25322419
I hope you don't lose any joy in comparing yourself to fictitious characters. Though I believe the moral of those archetypes was that the dwarf shouldn't think so highly of himself, and the giant ought to. So stand tall anon.

>>25322429
well it wasn’t comparison, i was using them analytically.
it doesn’t even ring true. all sounds a bit defensive. like if you dropped the act for a second the heroin withdrawals will kick in (that’s not an accusation just trying to pin down the vibe).

>>25322446
I've had fun.
It kills me to resign myself from this conversion with you. But it seems you're far too caught up on me as a character, rather than the point of the conversation. I believe we don't have much more to discuss, I hope you have a wonderful night.

I wish I was a cute twink, but instead I'm a chopped unc.

>>25322459
yes very noble, if i said anything out of line you’ll have to forgive me(!)
& of course the old adage remains true the harder you try to be something the more comprehensively you fail at it. like the story of the philosophers stone: it only appears for the humble seeker, not the obsessive collector. god or the universe cleverly constructed things to be self-defeating to chase. the more you fetishise it, the more you distort it.

>>25322464
Certainly you are victorious here, I have been beaten. But, isn't it typical for the main character to win in the end?

>>25322472
not always.

>>25322462
Being a chopped unc gets zoomettes

>>25322474
Those tales are tragedies.

>>25322316
The point is to the detriment and even total disregard of others. People who play music on their speakers on the bus, for example. Utter barbarians.

It’s hard to take a man seriously with his pants down.

Imagine Ghengis Khan or Lincoln. You just run up behind them and pants them.

The question of who starts a conflict is usually not determined by who declares war first officially, but rather by who is left standing by the time it ends.

a novel about an internet autist who's convinced a fellow user on a messageboard is a bot, the pynchonesque journey the man goes on to uncover the truth, and the thrilling and surrealist secrets he ultimately discovers.

Not one to judge a man’s fancies so long as he doesn’t pull me into it.

I should probably give at least some contextualization regarding this link dump.

This is the work and life of myself, a life that has expressed a distinct theme and focus that has resurfaced many times in profound ways: adventures in the mysteries of imagination and consciousness, of beauty and creativity.

It is a romance between art and science, a romance necessary as the subjects are ultimately a part of the same subject of subjects: living experience.

It is a quest to unify a fractured world that would necessarily lead to metaphysics.

what metaphysics?

Word salad doesn't build a content creation empire on Second Life that brought in $11,500 a month at its peak. Only the most disciplined creative mind is able to function on such a level.

it's becoming clear to me that the way this century is going to end is with chinese political-technological domination over the rest of the world. not only have they already established their dominance over nearly every major industry, they also are holding onto it with a death grip and in terms of politics, their political system is absolutely demolishing everything else that exists in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and addressing the issues of the people

going by the birth rates, the western world is already facing it's own near-extinction by the neanderthals (so to speak), south america is going nowhere, africa is laughable, no nation in asia is capable of slowing down china's steamroller and so who is left? if things maintain their current trajectory, it's looking very likely that the civilized world by 2100 will have some kind of society in the communist template - maybe not as marx envisioned it exactly but definitely closer to it than at any point hitherto - but with far fewer people and far more automation to serve their needs

what do you guys think about the near future?

At the core of Vyrith are what are essentially The Calculus Gods, imagined as such to elucidate the fullness of their connotations in human subjective experience.

china's plummeting birth rate is not as much of a problem because they are leading in robotics and automation; they neither need to sustain their current population nor import millions of wage slaves and foreign aged care workers because robots will be (and in some cases already are) doing the job of filling the gaps in society for them, so despite china's issues with birth rates they will remain much more ethnically homogeneous and therefore in a much better position than the west

bit from something i was writing last year

>>25323128
Not true at all. I feel like my life started at 18. It's a reflection of how dynamic your life is (and/or weird patchy memory)

thinking of starting a waldun thread to combat the egirl shit threads

>>25323141
that's neat, i like your style. what's it about?

>>25323142
there’s a wordsworth line: the child is the father of the man. the child never disappears, he’s running the show.

moving country. people hovering between exits.

I'm halfway to applying as a janny for /lit/ because I'm fucking sick of so many off topic threads being tolerated

i didn't realize it at the time, but the only time i was truly happy was when i was 12 playing footy on the pitch next to my house with all the neighbour kids. i would go there after school and would leave at night. at weekends i would be there whole day.
when puberty hit and we started to grow up it all went to shit

The One Thousand Year American Empire (1KYAE) theory

Then again, maybe it's the girl reading the book at the bus-stop who's being performative, trying to impress me! I was there first after all.

Most women are being performative, maybe not for you specifically, but in general. They only feel whole when the world can see they are doing something, going somewhere, eating something. They are incapable of just existing and enjoying a moment for themselves and only themselves.

there’s a good poem by kingsley amis that sees things the opposite way.

Between the GARDENING and the COOKERY
Comes the brief POETRY shelf;
By the Nonesuch Donne, a thin anthology
Offers itself.

Like all strangers, they divide by sex:
Landscape near Parma
Interests a man, so does The Double Vortex,
So does Rilke and Buddha.

'I travel, you see', 'I think' and 'I can read'
These titles seem to say;
But I Remember You, Love is my Creed,
Poem for J.,

The ladies' choice, discountenance my patter
For several seconds;
From somewhere in this (as in any) matter
A moral beckons.

Should poets bicycle-pump the human heart
Or squash it flat?
Man's love is of man's life a thing apart;
Girls aren't like that.

We men have got love well weighed up; our stuff
Can get by without it.
Women don't seem to think that's good enough;
They write about it,

And the awful way their poems lay open
Just doesn't strike them.
Women are really much nicer than men:
No wonder we like them.

All my trouble comes from comparing my life to others. To want to have adventures for the sole reason of having something to talk about.
No more of this kind of thinking I say

I graduated ten years ago, and have spent the past year just reading battle manga. So the bar is low, is what I'm saying.

Go to bed, Trent.

This doesn't apply to modern women.
