I'm escaping my cave tomorrow and going to a small local bookstore for the first time. any advice?

and you felt the need to tell everyone? Does it make you feel superior?

>kicking harmless aspies like OP for no reason at all
Absolutely zero self-esteem issues with this one. Good job.

>he's not a recluse
pleb

Just go to a 2nd hand bookstore or charity store if you can.
If you're a NEET it'll help you get more books.

>Dear diary, today ...

I only leave the house for work and I only feel comfortable doing so because I get to walk to work in the dark. I never leave my house during the day, if I don't have to at least.

There's literally nothing wrong with avoiding dreadful sunshine and fat degenerates.

what job lets you work at night?

Literally any job that requires 24 hour coverage.

Personally I work at a grocery store. The night work is worth an extra $4k a year and it's (generally) less headaches.

I am sick and tired of this. Every day I come to Veeky Forums, and every day there is at least one thread up with an OP image of an attractive woman dressed scantily and posing seductively. It's probably the same one or two people who do it honestly. Let me tell you something, you faggot pieces of shit who are doing this: you are the poster child for everything that is wrong in literature, art, and society as a whole today. You are incapable of coming up with anything creative, thought provoking, or of substance, and you lack even the smallest modicum of intelligence, so you use "style" and "flash" and pizazz in place of it and to draw attention to yourself, because that's the only way your SHIT "creation" and ideas would ever get seen by anyone. And before you say anything, this has NOTHING to do with the fact that I don't have a girlfriend. Anyway, I will be petitioning the owner of this website to ban your asses, so enjoy being able to post here while it lasts, because it's not going to last long, just like you that one time you convinced an obese girl to let you fuck her.

take a condom.

i get laid going to bookstores all the tme

Make sure you make no eye contact, people might try to have a conversation if you do.

penis stays in the pants

This. Be sure to have a sign saying "looking for boyfriend-free girl" also.

ok but i am genuinely afraid of having a conversation with a stranger
i dont know how to talk to people and i'll look stupid or pretentious or most likely both

People will forget talking to you after a few minutes so don't worry about it.

but i'll remember and hate myself for months to come. what's wrong with me?

Ready to escape your cave soon OP?

masturbate first to reduce anxiety otherwise you will be very nervous and sweat in the store

Bad advice, girls can immediately tell if a guy's been jacking off (guys that do have a sort of sunken look and vaguely smell of cum). Better to enter the store after a couple weeks of nofap with big swollen balls and a raging hard on. A woman's body instinctively knows when a man is ready to release a load into their genitals and they'll unconsciously present themselves to you

Teach me senpai

actually i was listening to a book on marketing and they did this research where they had two sets of dudes watch videos and then take their shirts and give them to women to smell, one set of dude saw boring shit, and one set of dudes got shown pornos, the women were told smell the shirts, they were told some bullshit backstory, and the said both smelled the same, but the researcher were watching their brains and saw that the porno shits lit up a different part of the women's brains, so even tho they didn't realize it, they're brain recognized aroused man smell even though it was so faint they didn't consciously sense it...

but this leaves us in a dilemma with regard to fapping, what if you watch a porno and don't fap, and then go out smelling horny? what if you fap and finish, you still smell horny, etc.

OP can hardly think of going outside nonetheless fathom sex. I can't imagine the psychological damage he'd cause to himself or the bookstore bitches if he tried to be alpha.

What does an agoraphobic man do with extra money?

Genuinely can't tell if you're serious or not but I can't stand these people who post sluts on Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums. My entire internet feed is full of naked girls, I don't need this shit when I am browsing a literature board. Do any of you fucks actually try to reduce the amount of sexual thoughts you have day to day? How can you go through life horny 100% of the time? Fucking fill your life with something not sex related.

dude, if naked chicks trigger you that bad maybe you should jack off once in a while

If you continuously jack off you will never end the cycle of being continuously horny. How long after you jack off does it take for you to get horny again? A few hours? If you jack off at night you'll be horny all day if the first thing you see is tits. I am so disappointed in the rampant sexualization of our society these days. You can't get away from it. All I am asking is that boards like Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums are free from it.

can someone make a plugin for Veeky Forums to just get the text only no pics? also with autoupdate so i can leave it on in a second monitor while i do something else and just look over when a new post comes in

dude, do you drink anything with taurine in it? the only times i have been so miserably horny is if i chug like a half a case of redbull during finals or something, you might want to look at your diet, you shouldn't have to jack off for 6 hours because you saw some tits

Veeky Forums is an image board... But I suppose it could be useful if you only browse Veeky Forums. I just wish the mods were more stringent about getting rid of the porn here.

I shouldn't have said continuously. It's more like all this sexualization builds up throughout your day and then when you have a moment to think about sex and you have the time to jack off and you're bored enough, everything that has been building up comes to the forefront and you become horny as a motherfucker. First of all, this makes it difficult to stop yourself from jacking off. Second of all, if you're not reminded of sex every ten minutes of your day then you're less likely to even want to jack off when you finally get the chance. Lastly, if you think of God and remember that your chastity is important to your spirituality then you can push through and not jack off or be horny. But it's difficult to get to this point when you're reminded of sex all throughout the day. I purposely don't go on /b/ and other sordid boards so that I can retain my chastity but I don't want to give up Veeky Forums altogether. Tell me why porn should be on this board.

>if you think of God and remember that your chastity is important to your spirituality

sorry i never bought into manichean idealism, nothing wrong with sensuality

Well then at least have the courtesy to see how it is important to some people. Will your experience of Veeky Forums be ruined by the removal of porn? Why do you want it so badly here? What other things unrelated to literature do you also want here?

why don't you go post on a some oriental sharia board where images of women are banned or whatever, europeans have always valued the aesthetics of the human body

>b-but user, this is just how i read, is my whole life just a porno to you? ;~;

>this guy complaining about relatively tame images on a blue board of a site comprised mainly of actual porn

Really made me think

Haha, so ignorant. Do you recall a time when Europe was Christian and actually cared? Go to a book club back then with a pornographic picture and see how quickly your degenerate ass gets thrown out.

I don't go on other boards.

what the fuck are you talking about? that kind of oppressive christianity only controlled europe for a few centuries during the lowest and most degenerate point in its entire history, the rest of european history is beautiful bodies all the time

I guess saying that just because the majority of the site is geared towards NSFW content, it doesn't necessarily mean that specific other boards aren't, and shouldn't be plagued by that content as well.

but that's not really the case. most people that use this board will be crossposters used to that type of content. sure you can complain about it but don't expect it to change any time soon. it's not against the board rules to post sfw girls, so people will do it.

>dreadful sunshine
Yeah, I avoid that too.
>fat degenerates
I'm pretty sure I'm the worst of them.

don't get me wrong i agree with you to a certain extent, there's no need to post tits and ass for no reason, but if you're one of these alt-right "save europe" faggots then you should understand what you're trying to save

A few centuries... OK. I'm not even Christian but to say Europe has always been a sleazy, sex crazed shit hole obsessed with the naked female body is simply wrong. Europe was once respectful of a woman's modesty and understood the nagativities of having sex advertised 24/7. Get this degenerate nonsense out of here.

>I'm not even Christian

i know, its obvious you're muslim or some other kind of oriental

I am definitely not aligned with that crowd. I think some of their sentiments are just but misguided. Europe needs saving, but because it needs to become more spiritual. It will in time but this life right now is disheartening.

I do a similar thing, but with the diary of anne frank and hidden figures.

I am not Muslim nor an oriental.

i don't see how hating sex and beauty makes it more spiritual tho, just makes it more inhuman, which would be inline with islam certainly, but god sent his son as human flesh

what ideology do u follow? has to be something oriental inb4 i'm secular (after larping about spirituality for half a thread)

I am not asking to hate it, jeez. Strawman much? Chastity has always been a spiritual thing. Not all of us need to go to that extreme but we should all strive to limit rampant sex and the like because these things root us in this material world and only make us more dependent on it for our pleasure. Not to even mention the physical ramifications of this sexualized world.

Most of my spirituality comes from Hinduism but it's only been reinforced by it. That is, most of my spirituality had existed before I became familiar with Hinduism. It just needed a guide to iron out the details and establish my works. But I am a white man.

>we should all strive to limit rampant sex and the like because these things root us in this material world

actually the root of your suffering comes being alienated from the material world, so you're really going in the wrong direction and making yourself more miserable

Why would you say such a stupid thing? The pleasures of this material world are all temporary. Please, explain.

i didn't say anything about pleasure, you're lost

You're right I am lost. What you said was so God damn stupid that you should probably explain it.

as soon as you have language you become alienated because now you have ideas about how things should be, like "i should have pleasure" or "pleasure should never end" etc. but all these fools in antiquity kept trying to alienated themselves more by embracing idealism instead of material reality, it's all backwards

Book store owners are usually just as autistic.

You don't think we should ask questions about how the world should be? Do away with philosophy then. What's inherently wrong with these questions? Isn't this how all progress is made in every facet of life? Don't even answer because it is. Children are dying. Should they be? Wait, don't ask that question!

When you embrace only the material world you become attached to things, which is the root of all suffering. This is not just some Vedic saying, it is the truth.

You should only alienate yourself from the material world when you are ready. I'm not sure if those you're referring to were ready. Not many of us are ready. Even those who are ready sometimes keep a foot in the material world to teach others. But limiting your attachments to this world is something that can be accomplished by everyone, and can really make a difference in the amount you suffer.

>What you said was so God damn stupid that you should probably explain it.
fucking lol

if seeing a titty puts you into a mental battle of whether to wack off or not then you seem to be failing at your ideal of detachment

also, it's ironic that you care about children dying but follow south asian religions that are mostly indifferent to injustice, if you want to make life "fair" you're better of being a christian or a marxist

>t. hippy

What the fuck are you even talking about user? First of all, Hindus care about dying children, you saying otherwise is beyond stupid. Second of all, what's all this about fairness? Thirdly, Marxists kill children and Christians rape them.

why are you attached to children? who cares of they die?

Not a hippy at all. In fact, I'm very conservative and hate hippies and hipsters/the general clump of degenerate liberals out there today. It's a great misfortune that ISKON appealed most to hippies. I guess that lot tends to be more spiritual or something. But that doesn't mean conservatives can't be spiritual. In fact, many spiritual people in both America and India are conservative. Probably the majority of them.

>why are you attached to children? who cares of they die?
edgy

Yeah I'm going to stop talking to you now. Goodnight.

wait, but i thought you said suffering comes from attachment to the material world? so why are you attached to children?

OK after rereading this I realize I have sort of contradicted myself at the end there. I realized while typing that conservatives are not generally less spiritual. I guess I don't know why ISKON appealed to hippies. It's definitely not a hippie movement in India.

not the guy you're replying to, that post was just edgy as fuck if thats what you believe.

If it's not a used bookstore then don't bother.

Because each child has a soul you fucking dumbass. God, you are really dumb user. I feel I should explain to you that souls are not material in nature.

Lol I went to this quiet street bookstore and asked for the greek section. The token fat dude pointed out a short two rack with the usual suspects. He informed me that in five minutes, the elementary school class that is lurking outside the door will come in for a presentation. Suddenly surrounded by children. No way to escape. Proceed to basement area. Full of Manga. Cannot open emergency exit. Burst up the stairs, and run, knocking over stalls and screaming children and vault over like ten of the cowering bastards and get through the door before politely telling the teacher lady at the door that she's allowed to bring her class in.

but who cares they'll just get reincarnated as something better next time around right?

It's getting late and I need to wake up early so that I can get to the library before work to pick up the copy of the Brothers K that I want. I haven't read it yet and I want to start tomorrow. Let's make this quick.

Firstly, karma & reincarnation do not work that way. Second, killing a child negatively affects other people greatly. Third, if you take your position to the extreme, then we might as well kill everyone/all children. If we do that then there's nothing left. Good idea? No. God, there are so many other reasons.

Do you really think that just because you believe in reincarnation that you should therefore think all children should die? Think about things before you say stuff.

Goodnight.

the point is attachment to a child is a material instinctual desire, like wanting to fuck hot chicks, so this dude is confused, in fact you can't have children without fucking hot chicks, so again, he makes no sense, but it's just some stupid guy on Veeky Forums, why am i wasting time trying to sort out some internet retard's sexual repression

i never said anything about killing children and neither did you until you tried to move the goal posts, you originally said "dying children" which if you are detached from material reality should not phase you

You said, "who cares of [children] die?" If you are okay with children dying then you are okay with them being killed, no?

Anyways, stop attacking a strawman, you keep doing this. Replace what I said, "...killing a child negatively affects other people greatly" with, "a child's death..." and the same message is conveyed.

Someone totally detached might not be phased by a child's death for whatever reason, for example because he knows he cannot do anything about it or because he is so focused on other things that matters of the material world are not in his mind, but that does not mean that he would be okay with kids dying left and right. And me, I am just someone who is striving for a life detached. I am not totally detached from this world so this entire argument you're presenting is against a straw man with a little straw hat. Can we stop now?
