Have been getting the sense we’re in the “1980s” part of the cycle, and the most useful thing after I renovate Karafuto might be to just bug out and find something obscure that will be the next thing to work on and I’m like “okay what would that have been in the 1980s”

And I realize it was like, “move to Tokyo” but like, that won’t happen in Japan again and where it will I’m probably not suited for

“Move to Texas and do MDMA in gay bars”? Eh

“Move to Manhattan and buy a brownstone while it’s cheap”? Pf

Signs point to Eastern Europe becoming the Next Big Thing, after the Ukraine business resolves itself.

How does this stack up to how Budapest was a thing in the early ‘90s, and then The Exile in Russia and all?

Ope, yeah, now the numbness going up the forearms, while the tongue buzzing is already settling.

Also I’m unable to reconcile both my eyes’ views and have to shut one again.

(Also a day ago I had the short-term memory thing where you were always putting things down and immediately forgetting where they were)

Thinking about how for my second case I spent months pissing in a mug so I could sniff it

(To watch out for diabetes. There was obviously… some issue with generating energy from blood sugar; the classic trick for diagnosing diabetes is if the piss smells sweet, cause sugar isn’t being processed and it’s being shed in urine. Mine never did, so something else I guess.)

No, the disrupted sense of self and the anxiety/sexuality shifts would’ve come earlier in the sequence. To the extent it got back into that part of the brain I guess the day it had there didn’t rise to the level of notice

Oh huh now I have the tonguetip buzzing. It’s interesting, I’m getting all these echo symptoms in the same order as they showed up in my 1st Covid case, just they only last like a day so they aren’t still around when the next one shows up.

I joined in like 2011. You missed some stuff.

Like asianspreads, which was just porn pictures of (Cambodian? Thai? Kinda picturesque) Asian girls spreading their legs and calling attention to what thanks to him I’ll always know as their funholes

I joined in like 2011. You missed some stuff.

Reasons I had wanted to be Jewish as a child

1. All the Jewish families had at least one wall of their houses covered in bookshelves
2. All the Jewish families seemed to respect their children and take them seriously
3. There was the “A-BWOO, A-BWOO, I NEVER GOT TO MEET MY BUBBYE WHO DIED IN THE HOLOCAUST” thing and do you know what I would’ve given to have no extended family?

How many of your teeth did the dentist steal?

I don’t remember, but probably a bunch of them!

Can you show us your teeth, Frank?

An undropped shoe around both issues of youth transition and trans student-athletes is what about the families who see it as necessary for their trans sons to go through male puberty before college if they’re to get the physical development necessary to complete for athletic scholarships?

This is literally “making up a guy” level of thinking, given the general rate of transness in the population, and especially the rate of AFAB transness.

No, this is asinine. Don’t do that.

So something I have realized is Roissy/PUA-style “game” does not work as a normative guide to how you, a man who does not get pussy, can get pussy, but it is a 100% accurate descriptive account of how the guys who do get pussy get pussy, and anxiety is the mediating factor

Without commenting too much on the feline acquisition abilities of anyone on this thread, and while freely admitting that all my knowledge of PUA “game~” tactics are secondhand… how do you figure?

because like, I’m aware that my experience with normie dating patterns is limited, but the people I know who have a lot of casual sexual partners get them by a) being a member of a community where having casual encounters is normal, b) regularly showing up to be a part of said community, and c) filling the needs of people within that community.

Which, yeah, can be as simple as “showing up at the same singles bar 3 nights a week, buying girls drinks, and being a decent conversationalist/not a blatant axe murderer”, or as complicated as “I am the only platypus furry with a fursuit in the tri-state area”.

from everything I’ve heard, the advice PUAs give is about as far from that as possible- it’s deliberately predatory tactics that, if it takes advantage of a community at all, does so in the most abusive manner possible. So not only is it advice that will not work for most people, it’s as far away from how most people who get casual sexual partners get them as it gets.

yeah and after that drinks and conversation do they ever say “oh gosh let me take you home for sex”? No, they don’t. Even if you get them to go to a second location you still have to do… a mysterious something… to, as the PUAs said, “convert”. And with the possibility of “oh haha that’s not the right thing, pathetic loser”. And apparently the new personality does that by instinct but doing it consciously with anxiety is a no-go.

Lately I’ve been thinking of anxiety as unresolved tension being unbearable, where “surrender” and “escalation” both count as resolution. Which means women being like “oh but if I reject a guy he might turn hostile and slag or beat me” yes, that’s anxious men choosing escalation

Have been getting the sense we’re in the “1980s” part of the cycle, and the most useful thing after I renovate Karafuto might be to just bug out and find something obscure that will be the next thing to work on and I’m like “okay what would that have been in the 1980s”

And I realize it was like, “move to Tokyo” but like, that won’t happen in Japan again and where it will I’m probably not suited for

Have there been cases of paratrooper transports being shot down and the soldiers just parachuting away?

Goncharov (1973) dir. Martin Scorsese

“The greatest mafia movie (n)ever made.”

This reeks of “savvy” with quotation marks, man.

What’s the Company getting out of it? Most accounts of them as domestic assassins don’t have it as out of loyalty to the formally constituted government and their domestic agenda. Favor bank deposits for their turf war with SOCOM? But that’s kinda handing Military Intelligence the chance to burn them, isn’t it?

You know, “hapa” and “blasian” are doing so well we should bring “mulatto/a” back

I heard one person say hapa in ~2015 and have since been blessed such that I have yet to hear it again irl

Yes well, even in the 2000s, Ivy League undergraduates were into navel-gazing identity shit, even if it was in a chiller “let’s put on a bhangra show!” idiom
