It's never a bad time to expand your vocabulary. Share with us new words as you learn them.
My most recent word is "freshet".

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

Anonymous 325777

But you know what is a textbook theory?
"Fabula and syuzhet". Per wikipedia:
>In narratology, fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events within the world of a narrative and syuzhet equates to the sequence of events as they are presented to the reader. Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky originated the terminology as part of the Russian Formalism movement in the early 20th century. Narratologists have described fabula as "the raw material of a story", and syuzhet as "the way a story is organized.
The see-also section gave me another new word, "lisible".
>Lisible is a word from the French for 'legible' used to denote a text that requires no true participation from its audience. It was coined by the French literary critic Roland Barthes in his book S/Z and expanded from his essay "The Death of the Author". Barthes contrasts texte lisible, denoting a closed work, with texte scriptible, a text open to interpretation. In Barthes's opinion, lisible works provide no challenge to the reader's preconceived notions and thus are inferior to scriptible works, exemplified by modernist literature. Barthes contends that lisible works still emphasize the importance of the author, whereas for scriptible texts "the reader is the very space in which are inscribed, without any being lost, all the citations a writing consists of; the unity of a text is not in its origin, it is in its destination

Honest thoughts on Antidepressants and SSRIs? Do they work or are they just scams?

Anonymous 318782

I've gone on anti anxiety meds and they didn't really help much in my experience but maybe I got too low of a dose. Unfortunately I was a teenager with parents in the room so I couldn't be fully honest with the therapist

Anonymous 318791

It helped me personally, it softened the worst of my anxiety and depression and didn't really numb me as much as I keep hearing online. I'm off them now and learned to manage my problems, but sometimes I wish back on them when I'm having a particularly bad day, but still, I'm having more energy without them.

Antidepressants helped me but SSRIs messed with my head. I felt like less of a person, like i was cut off from my emotions. It took forever to get off and i was constantly sleepy.

My age or within a few years of it is greatly preferred but nobody under 20 please
>Looking for
Looking for someone or a small group in a compatible timezone to play video games with every now and then. I am shy and not good at video games so I have these sitting in my steam library with nobody to play with:
Dota 2, Deep Rock Galactic, 100% OJ, Terraria, Risk of Rain 2
Can also play Minecraft or Toontown Rewritten as well.
Please add if you are willing to occasionally play one of these games with a total noob and are patient/kind. I work full time and cannot use my phone at work so do not add if you expect constant attention. We can also play backgammon online (or chess or go if you are fine with teaching a noob these games).
>Not Looking For
Political/religious discussions, impatient people, nsfw, flirting/dating, people who do not want to play any of the previously mentioned games with me
>Contact
galdinquay (please be patient if I do not accept your add I am probably at work or asleep - also just a heads up I post this tag other places online pretending to be a dude since sadly these seem to be male dominated games)

trans man, ex gf cheated on me Anonymous 326225[Reply]

yeah basically. I fucking hate all these women larping as "lesbians" and "loyal". She was secretly craving cock and cheated on me with a man. All that time she made me believe I was all she ever wanted she was seeking male attention and validation behind my back. Ended up making me feel like shit, hurting my ego and self image. Things changed drastically for me after it happened, now I feel much more dysphoric and weird about my identity, although I look very decently masculine. Nothing is good enough.
When will this despair ever end. Can I ever be fucking satisfactory for a woman. It just gets to me now whenever a woman is drawn to my masculinity because guess who's masculine but with extra gadgets? a fucking CIS MALE, and i'll likely get cheated on with that when they realize it's a better deal.

The question is to which aspect of you are they physically attracted? If it's your outwardly masculine appearance they'd likely instinctively desire masculine genitalia to match.

Anonymous 326238

>>326237
I understand, but you could say that about virtually anyone. Someone attracted to a woman could desire her to have big tits to match, but not everyone's partner will have big tits. Someone attracted to a man could desire him to be physically capable to match but he might end up an amputee. That's where people weigh out their options and see if sticking around is worth it, and you could argue that these kinda relationships don't work out in the end which does hold some truth.
So two things here, if someone saw that the positives they get from me outweigh the negatives then things will work out. And if someone is specifically attracted to me because I bring masculinity without the male genitalia then it would also work out. There are many scenarios in which being what I am goes in my favor, and others that don't. But again that's also the case for everybody.

Anonymous 326239

>>326238
Well I suppose it's great you have a positive outlook on things. I'm sure you'll find someone to love eventually if you continue to be as driven as you are. Again I do hope things work out for you in the end.

Anonymous 326240

>>326239
lol that's funny. Making it sound like I'm desperately trying to convince myself there is someone for me out there.
Well no, I don't have a positive outlook on things. I just see things the way they are, I put my biases aside and try not to let my emotions interfere with judgement. Personally, I don't even believe in love and have my own view about relationships, but the outside world will still go the way it does and that's what I will see and acknowledge.
I'm only involved in things for the sake of the moment anyway.

Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.

While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.

History general Anonymous 325492[Reply]

Maybe I'm being an idiot again but I can't find any history-related threads or generals. So I'm gonna make one and I'll start with a question I've been thinking about lately.
What was social mobility like in European and maybe some other countries?
I didn't research it quite thoroughly yet, but in Russian Empire there was something called Table of Ranks. If a commoner spent enough time at the 14th rank and higher they could gain something called "personal nobility". This does not get passed down to your descendants. 8th rank and higher could grant you "hereditary nobility".

Do you think demographic crises can be beneficial.
Black death is an ancient example but was potentially the reason workers have a lot of rights in Western Europe. Because a lot of workers were kill. But it seems not many people write about other examples of demographic crises.
Maybe this will force workers to become more productive and promote automatization? I'd love to work in automatization.
Looks like Wikipedia has some information on the subject: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_decline#Possible_consequences
I'd research it myself but I have stuffs to do.
I just want to find silver linings in things like this.

Saw these things at the MET Cloister and I’ve been kind of obsessed. They’re called Tecpatls, and they were stone daggers used for ritual sacrifice within the Aztec Empire. They added these little eye-and-teeth designs, because they thought these knives embodied the living will of the gods. Still looks a little adorable though, I’ve got to admit.

Smart people are the opposite of a hivemind, so you'll just have put in the extra effort to know your gift recipient close enough as an individual to really know what to get them.
Also consider alternatives to giving gifts, like spending quality time together, offering compliments and encouragement, acts of service to ease their burdens or showing affection through physical activities like holding hands.

Anonymous 325700

I'll find a smart person and gift them 2 hugs, 1 pet mouse, 3 geraniums (2 white, one red), a ticket to Norway, horse riding lessons, an eel, 5 bars of dark chocolate, a drawing tablet, 10 notebooks, 10 juicy no-smudge pens, a gentle tap on the ass, an hour's worth of back scratches, and an invite to tour the hivemind

I realised i went straight for physical things, regardless of the last suggestion, but i can't let go of the eel gift. which is clearly the only one i can sacrifice

So, for next year
I will get a smart person
