phone sucking the …

phone bad Anonymous 124395[Reply]

i can't really care for things that happened after ~2008. 2008 was when the internet started to suck, i think that old meme is spot-on. when the internet was just for weird nerds, it was a wonderful friendly hopeful human place. now it is this monster trying to enslave humanity.

when i see an old movie, that time before the smartphone seems so precious, so wholesome, so real; for the most part human interaction was still based on mutual consent at that point.

now when i see some show and they put these text-bubbles on the screen trying to visualize the instant messages from the protagonists i just close whatever i am watching in disgust.

i just use a phone for listening to music and watching occasional news video, i would never ever use one of these new internet based services, i just hate being digital cattle; i know many of you don't mind. once i find something else to listen to music that i like, i might not even use a phone anymore.

when i see some old documentary from 2000-2008 i want to go back to that time. not because i was young, it's not that. you only care about when you live unhealthily. when you are healthy you don't really age. i know many of don't live healthy, you wouldn't understand. aging for the most part is made up. no it's because i miss just peaceful casual non-exploitative non-surveiled genuine human interaction in privacy.

A lot of people share your feelings, but I think you all generally misunderstand the issue. There is nothing inherently problematic about things like instant messaging or the internet. The problems you see are purely a reflection of humanity. The underlying problems were there already; they just don't immediately manifest in "new" stuff.

Imo a big part of it is that post smartphone the internet stopped being a "place". It used to be you couldn't take it with you very easily or cheaply. So once you were off early social media or forums you had a break and had to confront the real world.
Now you can always be voyuring for social media, always be easily distracted and always be a click away from whichever self reinforcement you prefer.

he's 1 in 4 billion ? not statistically likely. either you're wrong about him (doom scenario) or (more likely [hopeful scenario]) there are more men like him out there

Anonymous 124511

yeah like statistically there must be more men like him but as long as i been alive he's the only him ive met, so how long until there's another him in the path?

How do we save female socialization? Anonymous 124400[Reply]

I'm tired of making female friends only to end up being ignored or excluded because I don't share their political opinions. Female friend circles seem to be built on fear, and I'm done with it. I made a decision not to pretend anymore—but now, I don't have any female friends left, just because I don't believe that anyone who identifies as a woman is necessarily a woman.

Part of reading is experiencing new things. If she's reading Harry Potter for 149^392th time then she's not reading. She's removing herself from reality. Pick up a different book at least. If JKR is the only female fiction author she knows then she could try KA Applegate, Usurla LeGuin, Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Clare, Susan Cooper,Juliet Marillier, Madeleine L'Engle, Diana Wynne Jones, and so many more. and yes a lot of those are YA so they're easy to read without being a slog. There's just so much more the world has to offer than harry potter and to be a potterhead out of your 20s is just so boorish.

I used to like potter a lot too. I remember years and years ago the old official site had a personality quiz that sorted you into a house and gave you a wand. I was Gryffindor, 15" dogwood wand. Dont remember what the core was.

What is the difference between love and mental illness? Because my friends tell me I'm unironically nearing the latter; to keep it short I seemingly can't forget about my high school ex bf for some reason even though I'm nearing 30, we talk on and off very sporadically over text but I'm the one that always starts the conversation and I my friends tell me I'm coming off as almost begging for him to come back with me but he always tells me no, in fact I know very little of him after we turned 20. Yes I have dated other men, yes I know it's pathetic, no he's not manipulative, but every time I keep making this alternate reality in my head about going back in time and having this idealistic life with him; I had this cringe moment with my mom some years ago because he came up in the conversation and I told her I would come back with him if he wanted and she just gave me this look of me being silly lol

>There isn't a person waiting to fix me

if nobody sells what you are trying to buy it is time to get into the business of producing the thing yourself. if you stick to your warrior programming and wait for it to appear somewhere else so you can conquer it, you might wait forever and besides being a warrior should have wrecked you enough to understand that you might not want to be a warrior necessarily just because culture teaches you to be.

>warrior programming

it's a reference to the way modern cultures have evolved. when you go to school, when you participate in monetary exchange, when you work and for the most part when you engage in any kind of social interaction; basically when you do almost anything normal in modern life: everything is set up for you to become a certain way as much as currently possible while the things that are not a certain way yet are currently being scrutinized in an effort to make them become a certain way as well. the culture is carefully set up like that.

most people are so entangled in these basic setups, that they don't really think about it too much and in a way i even have empathy for that. when you are trapped in an awful job that consumes your life you are likely to conclude that you are too busy to question basics. but people who don't question basics all kind of turn out the same, an eery unsettling similarities in key areas of their personality. they all seem to have similar problems that might manifest in ways that seem different, complex and unrelated but i don't agree they are.

when you live consciously for long enough, you see how the things that are, turn into the things that have been with such reliable predictability. few things will surprise you if any. at some point you get it, you will see something and you can tell how it turn out; maybe not every time but most of the time.

warrior programming is the attempt to summarize this experience of what i might almost call a cultural inevitability. a more dramatic way to summarize it would be
>curse of being normal.

toxic normality might also describe it well but it sounds too contemporary for my taste, i try to make it sound more timeless when i communicate.

The damage is done, nona, and can't be unfixed (except you have a time machine at your disposal). Your relationship with this moid is reduced to being a permanent power game from now on. There is nothing else left

You can make any decision you want and change your mind however you want, but you don't get to decide how it makes other people feel about it.

Anonymous 124500

>>124480
>It's my body????
What I mean by that is just as your body is yours so too is his his own. Just as you are free to make decisions so is he, and he chooses to degrade and ignore you. To cheat on you when you clearly don't want to do this anymore. You deserve better than that. Things have been put into motion that cannot be stopped, it can only be brought to an end, a conclusion. You say you love him, but he clearly doesn't love you. He doesn't even respect you.

I've always given things to other people in my life. I remember looking out for my older siblings, but where are they now? After everything I'm lonely and they don't even care. I feel like I missed my chance to do anything with my life and no one notices or cares. My best friend moved on in life without me, they left me like yesterdays trash. I'm on the ground and everyone steps over me, even though I'm the one that picked them up, got them to where they are. I don't think I'll ever find someone who'll love me, and if they do I don't deserve that type of person. Is there a point in still going? Not many people would miss me, and not for long.

I've been causing infights all over lolcow and CC for no reason and I don't feel sorry for it. I've only gotten 1 ban and it was on lolcow for derailing which was because I posted about a cow's friend instead of the cow themself. Maybe farmers and miners should take their meds because I'm not getting any bans for this. Though to be fair it's barely infighting as it is returning their energy because they get pissy so easily you'd thing they were moids or FTMs with their testosterone acting up

Every moid I've dated that didn't watch porn was very asexual to some degree. The last guy I talked to was demisexual and hearing him say he cared little about my appearance made me feel undesired and unattractive. He made me feel seen, safe and understood everything about me. It often felt like he read my mind, but I couldn't get over that feeling that he wasn't attracted to me physically. I want to feel desired, pretty and hot. Is that wrong of me?

ah, so you hit jackpot and don't appreciate it. the guys who do watch porn aren't even attracted to their gfs to begin with, they just see them as objects to enact the things they saw in porn to, not as human, not to mention their EDs. like my ex was only 24 and had me telling and doing all sorts of things but he was fucking limp, it was so pathetic to witness, luckily i never fucked him and quickly found out about his addiction.
