Maybe you should fry your brain to follow the story instead
I can see the tendrils of a story in my head and am trying to keep my brain healthy so I don't lose it. I'm also trying to stay in a headspace that will allow me to actually change my behavior and life trajectory.
I'm thinking about university. I'm going to school for a history degree and I hate how the science of history is taught, total ideology. Trying to approach any historical subject objectively is derided as a fools errand and writing explicitly from an ideological angle is encouraged. Technical and not so technical terms are thrown around so much they lose all their meaning or are badly misused and I'm gonna have to fucking roll with it as I'm graduating in spring and keep saying "uhuh, this means that, sure".
One lecturer who looks exactly like fat adam friedland was ranting about how he was the first one there to write their dissertation about something not from the country and how it was bad to not have a global mindset. Looked up what he'd written and it's only about his homeland and fucking videogames. Also found out he's a reddit moderator and has been talking about being a historian and expert on there for at least 15 years while he only got his bachelors 6 years ago.

math professors always give definitions and explain intuition before doing concrete examples, but honestly I learn better with examples first. Maybe im different though
currently procrastinating on math homework. i hate that i'm somehow in college (for a science major, even!) and yet i can barely follow basic math.

They never follow thru it's an empty threat it happens a lot on sniffies.
I was dumb and telegram'd some random who pretended to be a girl then made a collage of my face and dick to send to everyone on my instagram and "ruin my life". I don't have much of a life so I don't much care about people I haven't seen or talked to in years seeing my face and dick but am I fucked somehow legally? The college claimed I send nudes to underage girls and my dick and face is not in the same image. I'm a bit spooked

This is the way of thinking which caused people like Andrea Dworkin to become the way they are.
50 Shades of Gray and so on appeals to women because the main character is extremely powerful and she 'tames' him
Jealous of gay dudes right now
What are women's bodies? wear a nice dress but beneath they are these ugly punctured and twisted things dressed up in nice words like curvy and soft.
Breasts are udders. The thighs loose. The crotch is all about a wound functioning as gloryhole. (This is why 50 shades of gray/bdsm/tortureporn appeals, at a bodily level)
The softness is not for its own sake, which would be great, but to make growths (breasts, ass) and holes simpler in construction
Then there is the weakness, the periods, and the yeastiness, and also pregnancy, and penetration.
The female body is exclusively architectured for sex
It's a body of pornsick incel, material and design. the ultimate bdsm cage, the female flesh
is there escape?

AFAIK, stents involve a pretty common and easy operation. Assuming everyone gets sick at some point, it doesn't look like the worst heart issue to have.

Heart surgery. Found out a few years ago that I have a coarctation of the aorta, makes it really tight. Gives you sky high blood pressure and bad blood flow. They usually detect it when you're a kid. They're either going to replace the valve or do a stent. The valve replacement has a 2% chance of paralysis, needs replaced every 15 years, and I'd have to be on blood thinners for the rest of my life. Stent needs checked up on more often but the operation is less invasive. Either way I'm stuck with this shit for life, and I never know if I'll have insurance in the future.
I'm not too worried about it. My childhood doctors could've investigated my heart murmur back then, but a lot of kids have them and I'd still be dealing with the repercussions. Can't be mad at them. If untreated then my lifespan is 35-40 years old. It's just something I need to do. Dealt a bad hand
Have to make the most of life from now on, it's not going to be a long one either way.

the push for using ai makes me less sad about not becoming a software engineer.
I quit my job a week ago and this week has been great. I start my next job tomorrow. I feel like I've been slowly but steadily climbing out of s deep hole I was stuck in for several years. Only a few months ago I started going to the gym again and it gave me motivation to start applying for jobs and I'm finally out of the mentally debilitating shithole I was at previously. Things are on the right track.
I am thinking about how to escape my work. We have to use AI so much and it's uniquely bad code, with the leader bragging about how many lines he wrote.
Overarching that is thinking about why the vibes are so bad right now. Last week it seems was hard for everyone I know.

I've been thinking that whatever we've built is doing an actual tower of babel on us. The combination of things hitting some critical mass.
Every day I feel more and more stupid. It's as if a part of my brain has been removed (which manifests in an almost physical sensation). I read, and I can't say I do more than let my eyes wander (already too tired from lack of sleep and screen abuse "for productivity's sake"); I find it enormously difficult to write, and in general the texts I produce are insipid, poorly structured and, I'm very much afraid, incoherent; I speak, and I can only limit myself to repeating mechanical phrases, without any kind of substance (sometimes, however, I disguise this emptiness with a tone of confidence that embarrasses me); as for my interlocutor's words, reflecting afterwards I realize that either I directly didn't understand what the other person meant to tell me, or I horribly misinterpreted what they said (I suppose for others it must be like talking to a fragmented person, who talks and talks but doesn't say anything that can be understood, or that doesn't even connect).
In short, it's a situation that saddens me greatly. Otherwise, I'm not sleeping well, I'm stressed all the time and, in general, it seems that the finger of God has pointed at me, and not with good intentions.

Admitting it everytime you can is a necessity, otherwise, you'll sweep it under the rug and everyone will help you do it. It is litterally the first step.

You are the type of low intellect person who, when they want to make a point, they draft up this hypothetical character who embodies everything they dislike. For how many times I've read this overwrought stereotype of a Brooklyn hipster, that place must have a population of ten million. I doubt you even live in New York. This is some shit you read on le arr ess pee for years on end and it's embedded itself in your head as the proper way to conduct conversation online. In another space this scarecrow would be a "MAGA redneck" or "neckbeard incel" or "blue hair feminist".

That's great news. Here are some general pointers from someone with 2 young kids:
* The first three months are the hardest and you, as the dad, should do whatever you can to hurl yourself in front of the travails your wife faces. Find a way to step in during the night-time feedings, whatever those will look like for you. Change all the diapers. Be the point-person for pediatrician appointments. You will feel way overworked but your wife will feel like her entire fucking life is being sucked out from her and like screaming death is merely seconds away.
* You will find yourself screaming mad very often in the next year, and the most important thing you can do is to put the baby down somewhere safe and go have your scream and then get on with it.
* Don't drink or do drugs. Get an effective nap trick dialed in.
* You will feel ten thousand intrusive thoughts about the dangers posed to your baby and you should deal with them pragmatically. Not every intrusive thought and not every one is right, either.
* Get good at folding tiny clothes.
* Guilt everyone you can into setting up recurring phone appointments with you and/or your wife. Most people will flake and fail you, but the few that don't belong in your will and deserve to be the baby's godparents. I can't overstress how much the isolation eats at you in the early months.
* For either parent staying with the kid, the early months are a fucking prison sentence and every excuse to get out of the home is a godsend. Please do everything you can to generate those for yourself and your wife.
* Consider what you might do for childcare support in truly desperate circumstances, and then do it preemptively. You will need it in some dire strait and you actually need people to know that you need it before the dire straits arrive.

IDK in general I would say that you are about to face an extreme level of desperation that will push you to the limits of your sanity. That's what we faced, but I should also mention that we had to move away from our entire support network and do everything ourselves alone during COVID. So I guess take that as context.

I'm turning 28 in December and my wife is pregnant. Accidentally, of course. I'm quite terrified, feels like I'm dying and waiting for a new me to be born. Of course, everyone says they were terrified too, that it's normal, which doesn't help, merely reinforces the idea that the right thing to do is man up and become a father, which itself makes me wonder if my choice to accept my fate and embrace this new life is really my decision or an apathetic reaction. Nevertheless, I'm excited for a chance to mold a young person's life and give them direction, hopefully give them the resources to do what I could not. I'm really just not looking forward to all the poop and the screaming in public and the money and the nosiness of others, not to mention the supreme judgment that is raising another human that will have to overcome your failings in order to truly grow. Unfortunate because at this current age I won't be very old when my child kills me, so I don't have many expectations for retirement.

I understand that is what happened on a factual basis, but there must be something deeper than that. Lots of American slop has replaced local folklore. But there is something that draws Yanks to "dark" themed media and imagery specifically. If I were a Mark Fisher-tier cultural critic I could flesh that connection out more fully, but as it stands I don't have any patience for fictional media and so come up dry.

Not so much in my case. I was a fucking retard with no idea what to do with my life so I fell for the debt jew for a master's degree that I completed right before covid then never did anything with (outside of a few months' unpaid internship lol doing research at a vet hospital). My grad program was hands-off and especially sexist in favor of women; the professor I worked on my thesis with was an out-of-touch successful baby boomer who did about the bare minimum. The girl I talked to in the "help with resumes job search et al" was clueless and mostly agreed with me.
Dropping out during undergrad 12 years ago and getting on disability would have been advantageous but hindsight. There is no widespread commonplace support--of any form--for men. While many of my poor decisions were my fault, it sure would have been damn helpful being born into a financially stable family; or having at least one career-minded parent; or being born in a country with free education.

My aunt got my grandma hooked on Youtube a month ago. She's in her late 70s. Never had internet in her house and still doesn't, but she gets enough cell service. Only learned how to text a few years ago. Switched from a flip phone to a smart one last year (same aunt did that). Now she sits in bed all day watching AI videos, earnestly believing every single one. How could she not? She's never been exposed to the internet before

You will soon find out that they are lying to you about much more than lesbian domestic violence
I always used to think that the claim that lesbian relationships were prone to domestic violence was bunk. I bought the counter-argument from women online that those statistics came from an interpretation error, wherein lesbians that reported having been victims of domestic violence were reporting their past trauma while in relationships with men before, erm, "converting" to lesbianism. But recent events in my building have started to convince me otherwise. There is a particularly rowdy lesbian couple basically behaving like a 7th grade relationship, being loud, slamming doors, pouring beer into the already struggling hallway plants, clearly taking a sort of juvenile joy in petty, devious annoyances. But besides this, one day I caught them through the peephole in my door (yes, I am that kind of neighbor) basically play-fighting in the stairwell, slapping one another. But it wasn't play-fighting like men would do, where it is purely a test of physical strength. There was an air of meanness to their slaps and hair-pulling. It very much felt balancing on the edge of genuine abuse and play. To be frank, overt lesbian relationships are not as common in Eastern Europe, and my sole first-person observation of them comes from my time in the West, where my impression was that of fat nerdy millenials in a sort of default, sexless arrangement. Perhaps what I'm seeing in my building is a manifestation of the real lesbian essence that I have never been privy to. Whatever it is, it's very unappealing.
Twice yesterday I have sporadically looked someone up to find they have recently died. The first was Anthony Jackson, a fantastic jazz bassist, and the other is Patricia Routledge, a British actress who has given us many hours of laughter...

It's hard to describe the specific way that friends can be disappointing and infuriating.
So I've got this work friend (I know, kill me right?) who's senior in this unit and who is simply a dick. She pissed off everyone who was senior to her to no end, but they're all gone now. She's got a specific kind of Gen X immaturity, like "lulz everything is on fire! so I don't ever have to reflect on anything." She's brash and bold, but she's also infuriatingly superior when she shouldn't be. So obviously she's queen bee for a number of things... and is really graceless and immature about it.
Oh before I move on, I should also mention that she's one of those Gen Xers who imagines that she's like the leftiest purest person in the world because she cares about the environment. Like... one time she gave me a big public scolding because I said that dogs and humans are pretty unique in the way that our two species use symbols together. She wanted to defend the honor of other random animals. She's on her second divorce but it's cool because she didn't call the second match a marriage and when she threw the guy out he just had to go bankrupt with no legal recourse.
Last weekend, a bunch of us were at a grown-up Halloween party. I've personally made the decision to never ever drive with any alcohol in my body, so I was kind of hoping that my friend would give me a ride back. We live in the same neighborhood. So at a lull, later in the evening, I asked if I could get a ride back home. She said that she would be at the party for a lot longer. I knew I would just spoil the vibe if I stayed around waiting, so I just walked the entire way home. Well, come to find out this morning, she and a couple other people stayed like beyond an hour after the hosts went to bed. One of the hosts came down in their pajamas and showed these people how to lock up and went away. I think that gives you an idea of how immature my friend is. I'm mortified at the concept of abusing hosts like this.
Oh and by the way I found this out because my work friend was having a conversation with another work friend (who is less of a dick, but who is much more invested in being capital-f FUN in a theatrical way). They were talking about the party in front of another really cool person (actually the coolest person in the unit) who was not invited. I was (again) mortified at how these two could have so little grace.
I guess it's just astonishing to me to see people getting older and not actually learning the lessons of class and grace. It's not quite teenager behavior, but it's definitely 20-something behavior for a woman who is close to 50 if not in her 50s.

I moved to a place that I have contempt for because of my spouse. I have contempt for the people, to be clear. Where I live everyone talks about the geography as if the trees and shit are supposed to be an important part of my life. What's a much bigger part of my life is the high level of ambient cruelty in the air that makes it impossible to form or locate any subcommunities worth joining.
My protip to anyone reading this is to never move away from your support network and never ever ever do it because it's a supposedly virtuous thing to support all of your spouse's whatevers. Virtue is rarely recognized, and the rewards for this type of virtue are so minimal it's basically martyrdom. My life basically ended when I agreed to this move. I am now just marking time.
I just had a chubby woman in a bmw honk at me repeatedly for not pulling into an intersection to turn left on a green light (it was impossible to turn). These minor things remind me that I fucking hate living in a city and wish I never moved here.

It's giving Scandinavia tbh, though you're probably talking about Vermont or Seattle or some other stupid Burger place

I moved to a place that I have contempt for because of my spouse. I have contempt for the people, to be clear. Where I live everyone talks about the geography as if the trees and shit are supposed to be an important part of my life. What's a much bigger part of my life is the high level of ambient cruelty in the air that makes it impossible to form or locate any subcommunities worth joining.
My protip to anyone reading this is to never move away from your support network and never ever ever do it because it's a supposedly virtuous thing to support all of your spouse's whatevers. Virtue is rarely recognized, and the rewards for this type of virtue are so minimal it's basically martyrdom. My life basically ended when I agreed to this move. I am now just marking time.

Then her significant non-Aryan ancestry explains her behavior in >>7914It's hard to describe the specific way that friends can be disappointing and infuriating.
So I've got this work friend (I know, kill me right?) who's senior in this unit and who is simply a dick. She pissed off everyone who was senior to her to no end, but they're all gone now. She's got a specific kind of Gen X immaturity, like "lulz everything is on fire! so I don't ever have to reflect on anything." She's brash and bold, but she's also infuriatingly superior when she shouldn't be. So obviously she's queen bee for a number of things... and is really graceless and immature about it.
Oh before I move on, I should also mention that she's one of those Gen Xers who imagines that she's like the leftiest purest person in the world because she cares about the environment. Like... one time she gave me a big public scolding because I said that dogs and humans are pretty unique in the way that our two species use symbols together. She wanted to defend the honor of other random animals. She's on her second divorce but it's cool because she didn't call the second match a marriage and when she threw the guy out he just had to go bankrupt with no legal recourse.
Last weekend, a bunch of us were at a grown-up Halloween party. I've personally made the decision to never ever drive with any alcohol in my body, so I was kind of hoping that my friend would give me a ride back. We live in the same neighborhood. So at a lull, later in the evening, I asked if I could get a ride back home. She said that she would be at the party for a lot longer. I knew I would just spoil the vibe if I stayed around waiting, so I just walked the entire way home. Well, come to find out this morning, she and a couple other people stayed like beyond an hour after the hosts went to bed. One of the hosts came down in their pajamas and showed these people how to lock up and went away. I think that gives you an idea of how immature my friend is. I'm mortified at the concept of abusing hosts like this.
Oh and by the way I found this out because my work friend was having a conversation with another work friend (who is less of a dick, but who is much more invested in being capital-f FUN in a theatrical way). They were talking about the party in front of another really cool person (actually the coolest person in the unit) who was not invited. I was (again) mortified at how these two could have so little grace.
I guess it's just astonishing to me to see people getting older and not actually learning the lessons of class and grace. It's not quite teenager behavior, but it's definitely 20-something behavior for a woman who is close to 50 if not in her 50s.
My years-long obsession with Northern Ireland and the conflict between its two groups continues. I vouyeristically consume everything from photo galleries of wall murals to dry academic journals about minutae relating to the conflict. I fully admit that such level of fascination surrounding a tragic ethnic conflict is immoral and no better than looking at cartel or jihadist beheading videos or music clips online. But I can never seem to pull away
Oh my god brug
