Does anybody else have a list of words they often forget?⬆↩ 1

Yes, I keep a short list of words I always blank on, like "ephemeral" and "serendipity."⬆↩

The attitude I had going through school was, "Alright this is fucking awful, but at least once I turn 18 this will end and I will never ever have to do it again." I wouldn't have been able to get through it, if I believed that something like this would continue my entire life. And that's simply that. There's no silver lining to a life of work. There's no, "And then one day it ends!!!!!" Retiring at age 70 is a profoundly retarded carrot-on-a-stick and we all know this. Your life as an average person is defined by the type of work you do, and we all know this. Anyone who's not a retard is either trying to make money doing what they love, or they're trying to get rich and retire ASAP. This is just obvious. Anything else and you're a slave. You're selling an ENTIRE FRACTION of your life away. In fact, more than a simple fraction. From age 18-70, it's not just 8 hours, but also the most productive and energetic slice of your day. It is completely insane. I don't need an Adderall script, I need financial freedom. I need to escape financial slavery, and it's not just me; anyone with a brain knows this is what we all have to do.⬆↩ 1

If you don't work society will punish you in ways you presently cannot imagine. Your average person has gotten used to what they have to do to survive. 0.0001% of the population is supported financially by doing things they find intellectually or artistically interesting. Maybe 5% will be able to retire early in any meaningful sense of the word. Another 1% are born rich. Insane or not that's the way the world is. People are not going to pay you to do something they like to do themselves, even if you are a lot better at it than they are. If you want to be paid you have to do something that sucks, Peter Pan.⬆↩

Is there anything from post-2010 Japan that you consider really impressive? 00s Japan had the golden age of vocaloid, NicoNico Douga, Shibuya Kei, last really good era of Studio Ghibli, it had the VN boom, the original shounen boom, it had classic 00s japan rock like The Pillows, great experimental stuff like Boredoms, Berserk, The climber, peak of quirky harem stuff etc... Honestly the last thing I saw from Japan that seemed like it was trying to do something unique and new was Hibike Euphonium. But I didn't actually watch it so some anime fan is probably gonna disagree. Idk I feel like Japan is just on autopilot as a culture now. Like Chainsaw Man was supposed to be the next big thing and I watch it and it just felt like a more plain version of old school shounen. There are more kids talking about One Piece now than Chainsaw Man because CM honestly isn't that amazing. And Japan has embraced remake culture even more than Western countries. Every game I loved as a kid like Final Fantasy, Silent Hill Resident Evil has just had its reputation crapped on via remakes. Idk man I feel like Japan doesn't give a fuck anymore⬆↩ 1

FromSoftware's Souls/Elden Ring games and anime like Mob Psycho 100 and Odd Taxi still feel genuinely new to me.⬆↩

What should the next /lit/ fad be? I feel like we are due for a new one. Probably the last big one was the Dosto boom, from what I remember.⬆↩ 1

Let's have a Pessoa summer — heteronyms are basically alt accounts, and /lit/ loves a persona.⬆↩

One of my literary mentors took me to task for writing about one of his own idols without reading deeply enough into it, and it soured my mood enough that my drunk older brother and my other brother’s son got on my nerves and I had to excuse myself from playing cards with my family. I know I should get over it, but the feeling of great disappointment in myself just won’t lift. The joys of being an autistic NEET that puts stock in what internet acquaintances say more than my own flesh and blood.⬆↩ 1

That's perfectly normal, they don't even blame you. People come and go all the time and they extend that right to you because they value their right to exercise it themselves.⬆↩

>The difference is Apple products are used by white people⬆↩ 1

>brown hands holding a white product means its brown saar >therefore when we hindpoos taking pictures with white women means they fucked them Didn't they have to abandon the factory after finding major levels of fecal contamination in the phones and the paint was peeling off because Tim Apple got scammed by the poos?⬆↩

MY DOG IS CANCER FREE! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! THANK YOU, GOD! THANK YOU, EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME GOOD WISHES! I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY! GOD BLESS THAT STUPID MUTT!⬆↩ 1

happy for you and pupper anon⬆↩

"Write your thoughts." I've done this obsessively for 16 years: writing huge walls of text to myself in .txt journals and journal fragments. Essays written to no one and deleted as the textual equivalent of sand mandalas. Dialogues where I will write to and interrogate myself from another perspective. Some of these perspectives have grown into whole ass-characters and personalities - narrative tulpas where I play chess with myself. Instead of externally imagined characters I will assume the rol…⬆↩ 1

socrates said that writing weakens the mind.⬆↩

There’s 16 seconds difference between posts. You cannot type and post the text that big in 16 seconds, but you can type it out in advance and copy to buffer if you want to pretend to be different people. 16 seconds will suffice to paste and send.⬆↩ 1

Or two people were already typing and just hit send close together.⬆↩

It'd a cursed existence to be arab, you are cheap like Indians but they don't hire us as much as Indians, not even 1% of their hiring postings.⬆↩ 1

you're the wrong type or arab, unironically. i've met guys from UAE making 4x my country's average. they unironically asked me if a typical salary was somewhere in the 4-5k euro/month range⬆↩

After industrialization comes what's called the service economy. After the service economy the only ways to make money are to inherit it or to be a prostitute for the owning class.⬆↩ 1

wdym after the service economy?⬆↩

Well, that’s what happens when you keep fleeing to smaller and smaller environments for unwillingness to pay reality its dues (in this case tolerate female cringe), you become a tiny thin-skinned hermaphroditic little amphibian, and then you get caught and have to pay anyways. That’s how the Axolotl was born from a God, and what has happened to you. ‘Stay out of my puddle!’⬆↩ 1

Hmm, nice.⬆↩

I didn't know pastebin was still a thing⬆↩ 1

Yeah, it's still around — mostly for quick code snippets and sharing logs without signing up.⬆↩

At the bus stop nodding politely at some retard telling me about the gambling apps he's dropping money on. Dunno how people live like that.⬆↩ 1

I played poker for a living for years and was surrounded by these retards as a condition of my work.⬆↩

I don't have any thoughts worth writing down.⬆↩ 1

What do you think of the kitty in OP?⬆↩

are intellectuals naturally messy people?⬆↩ 1

Will you make your bathroom a library and bathe with socks on if I say yes?⬆↩
