Write what's on your mind

I have a bunch of old prescription Ritalin lying around from 2010 and older and I'm thinking about taking it again and getting a new -prescription. (I originally stopped taking it because I got into Alex Jones tier shit when I got out of high school and was anti big pharma.)

Read some Kant and Adam Smith.
Because he's not rich and he's envious. Most Marxist don't care for the poor, they just hate the rich.

I spent the last year abroad. Since turning 19, I've been to several dozen countries. Mostly I've traveled alone -- occasionally I've left to meet other friends overseas.

Now I'm back in my hometown, waiting to resume university courses in summer. I'm working full-time, writing several hours per week. Almost all of my friends have already graduated and moved on. I live by myself. There's nobody I have to talk to or see everyday.

I was looking forward to getting my own apartment, but I feel more isolated than ever.

I just want to graduate and move on with life. Do the Peace Corps, maybe get a master's in a third-world poo-hole full of people who act nice to me because I'm foreign.

Unironically Reddit.

I started going there about a year ago. I don't like the website's culture or layout much -- I've been on 4cahn for well over a decade -- but it's the only fast-paced board I can find.

I get where you're coming from, though. I'm awful at making new friends or relating to others, but Veeky Forums is too repetitive and over-the-top for me. There gets to be a point where serious conversation without the constant interjection of memes and put-downs is appreciated.

You sound like some pseudo punk indie kid who admires crust punks.

You sound like a shitty idiot who never matured past the mental age of 16.

Dafuq. Sometimes fapping is a healthy anxiolytic.

because its killing the species, devalues human life, is causing dysgenic breeding, ruined art, makes everyday life insufferable, is accelerating the death of religion, is causing demographic crises, melts borders, spreads psychosis, depression and homosexuality, and is directly linked with the death of the biosphere. Capitalism is baded on fraud and coercion, no honest human can feel good about participating in it. The excess of goods are cheaply made nonsense, stealing cheap food, cheap trinkets to placate oneself temporarily is just a displacement activity, a cheap shot at the machine. Its not a contradiction, the people who defy Capital by not paying taxes, voting, participating in large consumer events would want to go a lot farther. The small pleasantry of having GMO bannanas and comcast wifi can be sacrificed for another system or for destroying techne altogether. There is absolutely no NEED for this level of civilization and even if we did NEED it we could organize it differently. things are spiraling out of control now and we have no choice but to begin an era of defiance, non-compliance and spite until the system chokes on its inefficiency or is forced to start killing people to survive.

You sound incredibly deluded and mentally ill.

I'd hate to spend anywhere over a minute in your company.

How do you get used to Reddit? I find the UI extremely retarded

You get used to with time. What answer were you expecting?

something like "I agree Reddit is shit"

I just browse and post. Still don't like the UI, either -- it's a lot harder to find new content in Reddit threads, versus what everyone else has already upvoted.

In terms of quality, I think the slower, comparatively mature Veeky Forums boards still beat out Reddit. /trv/ and /out/, for instance, are genuinely great resources for aspiring travelers and outdoorsmen. We've had people motorcycle across Africa on /trv/, live abroad for years, and hike Siberia -- you don't get the same kinds of intimate, regularly-updated threads on Reddit.

See:

the proliferation of fags like this is why jordan peterson is thing, ur sick my friend, find help

Kleptomaniac here. I used to be very idealistic about snatching and shoplifting, obviously a defensive fit to shroud greed, self-indulgence, wretchedness. I even used to belong to a ''Thieves' Guild'' operating country-wise. Not worth it. The more you steal, the more you crave, the more likely to get in trouble you are. And why? For me it was a sense of intrepidity, emotionally alluring in an identity bereft of resources. It doesn't matter whom you steal from if your drive's vicious by nature. Keep that in mind.

>and he's envious
No, actually. I don't need a lot, and I don't begrudge people with a lot of money, but

actually, I don't feel like getting into a huge discussion, but
>1: everyone's basic need's should be met before the luxuries are distributed.
I honestly don't care who is rich or not, so long as everybody has a warm bed and enough food and healthcare. Rich people still get to be rich as fuck. poor people get to have basic amenities.
2. I actually forgot. I guess point 1 is the most important thing.
Capitalism is a lie perpetuated by the rich to undermine the free market and if you believe otherwise, you've been brainwashed.

Poor people shouldn't have to suffer to prove that they're poor. Give them some rich people tax dollars and fucking fine. There's literally no argument against this. If you're not a millionaire pissed about your distribution of your distribution of taxes, you've actually been brainwashed to think that a 900% difference in pay is actually fair, you stupid fuck.

This shouldn't be this hard.

>Unironically Reddit.

desu ive been thinking of joining for the tech related forums because u can't have a legit discussion of professional tier tech shit on /g/ is just memes and teen wannabes who don't know shit, but stackoverflow while extremely useful doesn't really allow you to "talk shop" without some specific goal to the thread, etc. so reddit is appealing in that sense...i just don't like reddit because it requires an account which means people will be "karma whoring" trying to build an e-name for themselves, plus people can go back and dig up every post you ever made to try and undermine you etc. which is bad, but i guess that's the trade off for not having the same old threads being repeated on a timer like Veeky Forums, idk, oh one more reason i'm hesitant to join reddit i'm such an contratian asshole that i get banned from anyplace that has accounts to be banned maybe if i listen to this jordan peterson shit enough times i can get over my need to a little troll

>I want everyone to be happy :)

Get the fuck out of here you fucking idealist child. What the fuck? What do you have, some fucking savior complex? How bad did you fuck up to make this a staple of your hyperpersona?

You reason exactly like this stoner chick with dreads who I used to fuck. Goddamn was she ever dumb. Throated the cock like it was the antidote to death tho... fuck, nigga

Your argument is just muh feels. You gave no reasons why we should give poor people anything. Why should I give my money to NEETs like you?

To you it seems so simple. Consider the implications of giving the poor stuff for free. They don't starve in the western world.

>I honestly don't care who is rich or not, so long as everybody has a warm bed and enough food and healthcare.

we have that now u angsty turd, ever heard of WIC, Section 8, Medicaid and FAFSA? oh, of course not because you're a middle class little shit who never lived amongst the poor, kys

>Veeky Forums is unironically packed with redditors

shouldn't astound me by this point

It's not that I want a safe space or that I'm naive about how others think, it's just that Veeky Forums has been really corrosive to my outlook on life and it's starting to reflect in my lifestyle as well. I'm only 20 and I feel like this place is destroying the little youth and positive energy I still have left. I don't want to come to this board more than once or twice a week frankly, but I just can't help it.

So I should fuck the dumb thot and ruin her relationship?

lmao ok right on captain

Dude, people who watch CNN have a similar fearful and accusational outlook.
Things just fucking suck.

Start meditating.
Everytime you want to come here, just force yourself to do something else instead (even if it's something dumb like watching a TV show)
>Only 20
I'm 20 as well but this phrase made me reflect, I would never use the word "only" when referring to my age. Man I feel old inside.

I feel old as shit browsing this board. I know I shouldn't be neurotic about time, but damn it, this is awkward.

>>I want everyone to be happy :)
>people having their basic needs met = everybody being hippy dippy happy
get fucked. that's not even remotely what I was implying.

>Consider the implications of giving the poor stuff for free.
You first. We're talking about basic amenities. Nothing else. What are the downsides? There are none. It has been proven, over and over again that, for example, providing housing for the homeless is less cost effective than having homeless people around.

Everyone arguing "muh feelings" are fuckwits. The only thing preventing a superior social implementation is "muh feelings" about "meuh, I don wanna give muh tax dollas to poor people!"
Get the fuck over yourselves.

*unsheathes katana*

ten bucks says i'm older than u holmes

cduck

I'm 22, and boy the life I've lived... I've made 80 year olds cry with my writing. Imagine that.

I feel ancient by now. Maybe I should quit smoking.

I am frustrated, as an artist, that the Marxists I agree with 70% of the time don't understand shit about art or the need for it in the case of individual self-realization.

i hit someones car and drove away and now i regret it

Social Darwinism is a form of masturbation.
Social Darwinist earn money by telling rich people what they want to ear, no matter if it's true or not, being mostly false.

i think dedication to a career is just as useful as having children when you want to give meaning to your life

No way, Jose. I am this board's elder, old enough to feel alienated from the twenty-year-olds who browse it. But thanks for the free shekels.

Anyway, where do people go once they've hit a certain age on the internet? I could never figure out. Wish there was a haven for veterans.

Someone online wrote that they spent their worst days lying in bed staring at the ceiling. With nothing to lose, today I gave it a shot, and spent more than seven hours sitting in bed waiting for a game to download. Roughly half of it was spent sleeping, a smaller chunk on meditating (which is surprisingly unpleasant while lying down), and about an hour and a half in various positions thinking. Contrary to what I expected, afterwards I felt even more empty than usual, and finally sat down to my new game only to get bored within 20 or so minutes. Guess it's back to Veeky Forums then.

I wanna fuck the pink haired chick from Fortnite

lol fuck off

I don't know, gramps. I feel like middle-aged people just don't spend their free time online? I think there's like, taking of the kids to various practices, shopping trips with the wife, and getting Brews with the Bros?

don't. just don't. you can thank me later in life

Commies and neo-nazis are eternally frustrated manchildren who live in a dunning kruger induced hallucination

Yeah, well.

Some of us weren't so keen as to lead to any of those places.

shit, bro... the realization of dying alone will sting.

Looks like you got meme'd hard.

I feel profoundly lost in the world. I don't know what exactly it is that I'm missing, just that I'm missing it. I'll spend tonight trying to drown this feeling in drink and media, just like I did last night, and the night before that, etc.

>books for this feel?

Heh. It does sting, my juvenile friend.

How old are you user?

>dunning kruger

babby learned a new word

sam hyde taught him

just got back from drinking can't decide shud i eat food or puke

>Not sipping on a glass of wine, reading the Rayfield translation of Dead Souls, while your sick gf lays asleep a few metres away

i think im just gonna sip a coffee and play insurgency until i sober up

Yeah, I feel like I need a detox from this place. How do people here keep track of other sites/blogs/people they find interesting? RSS? Twitter? I feel like most people I know in real life use facebook but I don't have one and I don't want to get one. I want to find a better way to organize content I find interesting so I don't feel the need to come on here as much.

>being so weak-minded you let memes and shitposting get to you

i dont think it's the Veeky Forums... it's the amount of time you spend online in general. hard truth, user. you're wasting so much time.

I already know this, I do want to spend less time online overall. But I feel keeping track of stuff I find interesting is a positive thing. Also, I don't know anyone in real life who share many of my interests, and I've gotten some really good recs here.

I am this close to getting grafficly slapped.

You mean graphically?

What did he mean by this?

this. /pol/ has become an epidemic, the comminuty has changed and I feel like a good 50% of Veeky Forums are /pol/tards and rednecks

What subreddits do you use? I use to read reddit a lot, but got really disenchanted a couple years ago when I started hating "reddit culture" and noticing how inane and repetitive most of the discussion is. I mean, Veeky Forums's discussion is pretty horrible most of the time, but at least it's different. I still enjoyed some of the smaller or more niche subreddits, but those don't have much discussion at all. For example, /r/tea is almost entirely pictures of cups of tea, with comments saying how good the tea looks or asking where the OP purchased it. There's nothing wrong with this per se, but it could be condensed into a single thread.

Also, ever since the us election everything on reddit has been made political. On Veeky Forums the random /pol/ positing has died down (though it's still fucking obnoxious), but on reddit the anti-Trump posting has become pervasive. It's so annoying to open a thread and have the top comment be "lololol just like donnie amiright??", completely off topic.

I wonder how much my privileged and relatively sheltered upbringing is responsible for how fucked up I am. I wish my parents had made me get a job the day I turned 14. And that they hadn't allowed me to play video games, fuck those wasted years.

absolutely. Since 2014 this place is slowly rotting away.

If anyone ever tells me again he likes how Houellebecq describes sex, I am going to punch that fucker in his smirky fucking face.

The only way I can write is by being outside and using my cellphone. My PC is full of distractions

Get a typewriter. Or use paper. Or if you're technically inclined install a minimal linux distro with focuswriter.

>Get a typewriter
Don't do this

I don't see what the problem is, there's a difference between using one for distraction-free writing and lugging one into starbucks with you and posting on instagram about how you're living the #writerslife while sipping on your iced macchiato.

Have you read Deleuze?

Why not just turn off your internet and use the computer if you're considering using a typewriter at home? You're no more or less likely to be distracted.
Going to a caf and writing with a pen and paper works nicely.

Because said that he had to leave his computer completely to avoid being distracted. I don't have this problem myself.

Managed to get a girl to be in love with me even though I'm an ugly virgin.

>girl

Yes, with a vagina

I'm looking for a novel where the protag struggles against God.

nice!

Moby Dick

Only ONE vagina? Pfuah!

I wish we had someone like Trump running Canada. Trudeau is a fucking disgrace. Fucking "peoplekind", that spineless virtue-signalling fucktard. I'll go to my grave PROUD that I voted and PROUD that it was not for him. Justin Trudeau, second female Prime Minister of Canada.

>wishes he had a senile, semi-illiterate old man running his country.
at least pick an intelligent person to represent your ideology

I wish heroin were free and didn't have any side effects

He's definitely not unintelligent, Dr. Jordan Peterson even talked about it once before and he's a clinical psychologist. Trump had been too successful for too long to assume he's not intelligent. I don't for a second believe that he's senile. He sees the problems arising in Europe from the massive immigration of Muslims, he doesn't want to see that happen to America. He's familiar with the problem of all the illegal immigrants coming from Mexico and wants to help America deal with this problem. Considering something like 80% of the women and girls who cross the border illegally get sexually assaulted or outright raped by fellow illegals or the coyotes that lead them to the border, I hope he's successful in dealing with that problem. Trump supports the 1st and 2nd Amendments whole-heartedly, meanwhile Trudeau is anti-gun and is actively pushing legislation that damages the freedom of expression as outlined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

If Trump's next 3 years are as successful as his 1st, plus he gets work done on that blessed wall, then I will happily vote for him in 2020 if I should be lucky enough to be an American citizen at the time. I WILL be an American someday, I will be a card-carrying Republican, and I will carry every damn day of my life. I know what it's like to watch your freedoms and rights erode before your eyes, to wonder if you'll ever be arrested just for criticizing an ideology. Trump is strength. Trudeau is a God damned cuck. If you're an American then you have no idea how lucky you are to have President Trump. God bless him, and while it's unfortunate that he's overweight I'm glad that he doesn't drink or smoke. Chances are, he'll still be around 20 years from now, and if his next 3 years are like his 1st then he'll have a lot to be proud of.

Ironic, yes? It has to be. It has Peterson and amendments. It's ironic. It's ironic.

>He's definitely not unintelligent
Doesn't really matter how smart he is if he is senile.

I have work to do. She has work to do. We're both swamped with homework this weekend. But I can't focus.

I just want to hold her in my arms again. She's all I think about anymore. I can't focus on my work. I can't distract her because I know she needs to focus on hers. She makes me call into question almost every decision I make. Shes the last thing I think about before I fall asleep and the first thing I think about when I wake up.

I know she cares about me too, but not the way I do. I've lost myself since I started going out with her and I just want to find myself beside her.

It has to be, read the second paragraph again. There are people who think like that, but I don't think they're hanging around Veeky Forums

mods are shit, the socialism vs. capitalism thread is still alive

Is there something contradictory in what I've written?

I can't connect with people and I'm really ashamed of myself. (That's not helping either)

No, but what you've written reads as satire.
Let me know if you need help understanding the implications of this.

>even if it's something dumb like watching a TV show
disgusting

I feel like I've outrun the narrative of my own life

>I feel like a good 50% of Veeky Forums are /pol/tards and rednecks
Veeky Forums traffic doubled during and since the 2016 election
