Please hug me! Someone, anyone

Bro your sign value? Baudrillard can be incoherent rambling to a degree but his early stuff at least is pretty on point at analyzing some whacky phenomena that arose well after Marx

Bro fell for the powerlifting meme 💀

Many of them do actually! The elevation is quite high around Zion/Bryce and gets a lot of rain, it’s loaded with cool foliage. Seconding that Utah is incredibly beautiful, my personal favorite nature in the entire continental US. If you’re into backpacking or any kind of outdoor shenanigans I can’t recommend it enough

Looks like typical gun fetishist stuff, what makes them Nazi bullet casings specifically? 9mm Luger is just the name for “normal” 9x19 rounds as opposed to 9mm Makarov. The big one is a .50 AE which is only used by chuds overcompensating with the largest possible pistol

I find it far more rewarding when I go into it with zero expectations and just kinda tease the real personality out of someone. I think practicing the ability to cut through all the bullshit is itself a worthy endeavor regardless of the outcome

Althusser got me feelin some type of way, how do I get off this wild ride and pretend anything has meaning again 💀

Damn I wish, I’d be all over the pretentious introvert app. I totally understand you though, I’ve been hitting a wall of meeting really beautiful, fun people that I don’t have any interest in because we don’t actually talk. A physical connection can only go so far before things fizzle out. I mean it’s not like language doesn’t have its own inherent limitations that prevent you from truly connecting with someone but fuck it’s the best thing we have.

You identified the unfortunate root of the problem: people that will talk your ear off about Lacan are probably not going to be out clubbing every weekend. Dating apps are realistically one of the only ways but it’s still so hard to find like minded people there. I really wish I had a solution for ya, still trying to figure that one out myself. Try not to chalk it up as a personal failure though, being single is absolutely fine! It’s hard to do but the more you put yourself out there and open yourself to new experiences the better your odds will be. You can occasionally get lucky and meet the coolest person in your life at a temple stay deep in some Korean mountains but it never lasts 😭

Every day I feel more vindicated in my choice to drop social media nearly a decade ago. Remember being young and being told to never ever post any personal info online? Wild how society just kinda skipped over that whole thing

I went to a pro Palestine rally here in Tokyo over the weekend, it was pretty cool! Unfortunately I was too shy to really chat with anyone there outside of basic pleasantries so I ended up leaving feeling more alienated and sad than before lol. I have no idea how to break into existing social groups, I feel too self conscious about butting into conversations unprompted. I also think the format of the rally wasn’t really conducive to chatting though since there wasn’t much down time, hopefully I’ll have better luck at the next food not bombs

You have to be forgiving of yourself and set realistic expectations, it’s too easy to fall into the all or nothing mindset. It’s ok to miss a few days at the gym so don’t put that on yourself as some kind of failure and feel like you inherently lack the necessary discipline. Just going to the gym once a week is infinitely better than never going! I believe in you comrade, you got this

I’m sorry to hear that friend, it can really suck when the people closest to you are too caught up in their own problems to even lend an ear. If you ever need to talk please reach out any time

Can confirm, I’m the shortest one in my family at 6’2”. Several cousins are 6’8”+

GOOD post

Tbh, same. It’s a lot better than what usually happens when I yell into the void: fascists screaming at me

Fully agreed, it’s very validating to see other people acknowledge a lot of horrible realities most handwave or deny. It can really throw you into a solipsistic spiral when everyone around you seems to gaslight you or completely deny reality as you experience it. Simply seeing other posts here that I can really relate to has helped my mental health significantly

God damn could they have picked a more unnerving picture? Looks like a still from some early internet video you’d find on liveleak or something. Also if anyone else was privy to my dreams I’d probably be institutionalized, controlling smart devices from there sounds like a terrible idea

Damn that genuinely fucking sucks, hate to see all the piracy crackdowns recently. I only used fmovies a few times but it was a really nice resource if I was too lazy to download off a private tracker. That does remind me that I have a few avistaz invites I can give to any comrades that promise to keep a good ratio, feel free to pm me if interested.

One of my favorite games of the 360 generation, I remember thinking that this level of destruction was the future of gaming. 15+ years later and it still has yet to be surpassed outside of like Teardown.

The multiplayer was also an absolute blast, the different backpack abilities and full destruction mechanics made for one of the most unique mp experiences. I ended up buying it again on pc twice just to experience it again, sadly it seems completely dead now even in the small community groups I used to play with
