/int/ - certified time wasters

This was an attempt made by my very ambitious, shrewd and family-politically scheming auntie.
The daughter in question is from a family of her friends, which means that if I went for it, I'd have fallen under her political influence.

That's not a transactional relationship, that's an extractional relationship.

There would have been gains and losses on both sides, it would have been transactional!

>There would have been gains and losses on both sides

I'd wager there would have been mostly losses on the bricks side.

My great-great-grandmother forced close to 80% of her numerous children from multiple husbands and one extramarital affair to marry for economical gain. These marriages were mostly unhappy.

She then found ways to funnel the wealth she herself had gained by marriage and the wealth her less-favorite children had gained by marriage to her favorite children, mostly her youngest son, who died a wealthy man, despite being a drinker and an intense idiot who once gave away an entire house while drunk.

The Brick is adviced to rather stay single then to enter into a marriage arranged by his aunt.

Nobody ever said (or implied) anything about commies or trannies or whatever else you are obsessed with, you projecting imbecile.

What are you gonna do next, call me a schizo? Because everyone who doesn't agree with you is a schizo, because that's what you were going for, right? It's you, isn't it? Now go and post the newspaper Homer so we cen get it over with.

I don't hate yor posts or you, I just don't read them because they're boring.

Except when you post reactionary rhetoric.
But you're a Hungarian, and reactionaryism is your nature due to genetics and proximity to central Europe (central Europe contains large deposits of nazioactive minerals that emit high energy reactionary particles that cause ideological mutations in the proletariat)

But as a Communist I believe in the supremacy of human will over nature, so reactionary poisoning can be corrected with human intervention. That is, beatings.

>>13456
>Because everyone who doesn't agree with you is a schizo

No, I think that you specifically are a schizo. Glad we could talk about it.

Read books. It's that simple. Imageboards actively damage one's English skills due to all the dirty non-natives.

>Read books. It's that simple.

Did you specifically mean novels or books in general?
I consume a lot of English language media already. Mainly academic but still. That said I think novels can be challenging vocabulary wise. Maybe I should read more novels. English language poetry I imagine can also be a pain in the ass depending on whom you read but I assume it is there were you can run quickly into not knowing words.

I had to write an English research proposal and after finishing, I ran it through chatgpt and every paragraph was basically fine but the details made it really "native" sounding and I knew all the suggested vocabulary changes. A bit frustrating. My passive vocabulary is quite good. Some phrases and special fields vocabulary lacks, though. The latter is not really a problem as long as my special field is known to me.

>>13312
Academic papers are limited in their vocabulary by their nature. Go read Confederacy of Dunces if you haven't already.

Going to the army and losing a limb is technically an IRREVERSIBLE identity-affirming surgery.

tired of veteran propaganda in mass media. especially veteran pride parades. look, I don't care what you do as long as it's in the privacy of your own home

did you know that 99% of veterans who go through IRREVERSIBLE identity affirming surgery regret their decision and want to de-veteranize?
Worse, they want US to pay for their medical bills. NOT ON MY TAXPAYER DOLLARS

>Other returning Vietnam veterans, meanwhile, were coping with the challenges of reintegrating into an America society
>implying white veterans were not coping with reintegrating. they got home and got busy and
> engineered
> the white resurgence

Veterans came back and struggled with reintegration and one way to reintegrate and cope with the changes and challenges faced in post 1968 US for them was apparently to fuse the thoughts a white ethnic revival discourse with methods from the culture wars of black people and women and their vocabulary (+ making use of the therapeutic turn and its methods/vocabulary to make meaning of what happened to them)

So while you think that the authors think these people did not struggle and cope and with returning from the war, the author describes exactly HOW they did struggle and cope with their return.

True, well-done plastic surgery is just for evening out irregularities, but those that overdo it, overdo it horribly, and often so unnecessary.
Take Emily Blunt, a beautiful woman, with really attractive armpits and a beautiful smile.
There was absolutely no reason at all for her to get lifted, she's only 40 or something.
On the other hand, Salma Hayek and Monica Bellucci most certainly had something done, but you wouldn't notice.

I did some more editing and research today. Found two potentially promising books. Started assembling the bibliography.
Finally got a frame for the Chinese calligraphy I have. It will look nice on the wall once I find a spot for it.

My father was cleaning out some stuff at my mother's request. We found an old iPod among the masses of cables and I took it into my care out of utter fascination. The battery holds an okay charge, but the hard drive is fucking dead because I can hear it click when I try to restore it.
Looking it up, it wouldn't be all that hard to just fix it myself. Just need to pop it open, pull out the drive and then insert an media-card interface thingy and then an SD card ultimately. Seems like a fun little summer project. I wonder if my father would find it cool that I fixed it on my own.

I stayed home and did work here because I washed my hair and I didn't want to risk catching a cold in the wind if I fail to dry like a random spot or curl.
Though I do realise that this is a cope on my part mostly. The reality is that there were no groceries at home and I didn't want to eat out, so I just made do with some coffee and two slices of bread.

My sleep was very troubled for the past two or so days. It's not even that I had odd dreams. I sort of enjoy having odd dreams because whenever I happen to remember one it always gets me in an interpretative mood. Why way my brain fascinated with this?
No, this is just rolling around and feeling like I'm in an oven on a ship.
Maybe it's the winds.

Got a letter about Erasmus scholarships. Gonna read it tomorrow. I'm still determined to spend some time abroad for my own sake.
I'm honestly feeling motivated. It's about me. I need to do something small every day instead of waiting for a manic phase to save me.

What is this projection? Are you actually able to make any kind of sense or did the app abuse fry all your braincells already? SAD!

There I am, dreaming about my female co-worker keeping a menagerie of wild animals, when instead I could be having sexual dreams about my grandma. Guess I need to ascend in the hierarchy of competence.

Today I really need to get shit done. Any advice that would help me not just spend half of the day lying in bed beacuse I feel like I deserve a break?

How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labors hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.

In works of labor or of skill,
I would be busy too;
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.

>Apparently, designating "the internet" as your holy scripture isn't allowed
That wouldn't have made any sense at all, I am surprised they even had to think about it. Almost anything can be found within the depths of the internet, and if its not there yet you can upload it yourself. So having the internet as a holy scripture is not much different from having your internal monologue as a holy scripture, except there is more insane and selfcontradicting stuff on the internet.
>I believe an agnostic view should be welcomed.
You can be agnostic theist.
How was your interaction with them like though? Did the guy you talk to seem more or less normal? Do you know how the process of deciding about you went, do they have some official protocol for that? I have never had real life contact with freemasons, it would be interesting to hear what they are like.

> So having the internet as a holy scripture is not much different from having your internal monologue as a holy scripture, except there is more insane and selfcontradicting stuff on the internet.
Pretty much that was actually the reasoning I've came up with.
Just that I've wanted to argue to interpret this ~"one consciousness" / "we are one" ~idea as deity proxy and "the internet" as its currently purest form of scripture, exactly because it is this time and individual sensitive.

> How was your interaction with them like though? [...]
Eh... I would argue it was more like me bothering 'em. :3 (Those I interacted with seemed pretty chill, though.)

>>12381
Using "the internet" as holy scripture seems counter to this idea of pantheism. 3/10, wouldn't let you in my apron circlejerk either.

*harrumph*

More and more souls are flooding this hell we call home.
Every one a potent stream of consciousness, adding to One.

Do you really want to cast away their words of struggle, just because you've seen it before?

*bows*

Not every soul had the luxury to watch this hell grow.

You should have gone to seminary instead of media studies. You would as well learn no useful profession and spend several years being indoctrinated but at least it would be a normal religion and not a destructive cult.

>>12273
Thinking about mediality makes religious people blush in how far it reaches to the bottom of things.

Somebody has to do the ungrateful job of developing ideologies after learning everything about the trade of how it has been done before.

Best of luck, comrade.
