recently read that schizoid people make up 65% of the homeless. googled it and found some schizoid people talking about how the best time of their life was back when they were hobos. had a tough day at work and man... i'm starting to get ideas...

The number of posters I've seen banned for not being able to rein in their 'tism indicates that yes, this is a solid standard to shoot for.
On topic:
Have a friend of mine who has begun to get really pissy and hostile both towards myself and a more recently made acquaintance. The old friend has been having a hard time even before meeting this acquaintance.
They mix like oil and water despite the acquaintance really not showing any hostility towards them that I know of. I've attempted to talk to my friend and figure out what is going on regarding their attitude but its largely gone nowhere. Even ended with a spat once.
Not sure what to do or say. If I should even bother worrying about it and just be friendly with both, hit the friend with an ultimatum or start really being critical of the acquaintance. Gave it time to see if the root of it would be figured out but no success.

Sound like your friend has sand in their crack and needs to chill. I have a friend with a similar issue, twice now she has just decided she hated different people we knew and became extremely hostile about them (behind their backs only). I told her repeatedly that I don't have a problem with them and she get's upset with me for not agreeing to her insanity. Needless to say, I don't need to waste my time with that shit and she is unknowingly being removed from my social activity.

My general rule is if some idiot presents me with an ultimatum that I can't be friends with them and some random other person, I'll just agree and they're the one who gets the boot. I really hate people who pull that shit.

Yeah absolutely. I've told them that and they've admitted yes they do. Except then they keep doing it. Being self-aware that you are being a pissant and causing trouble does not exonerate you of it. They're on the track towards getting that exact treatment but I'm hoping (probably in futility) that they may not.

I'm out in the sticks on vacation, visiting family, it's nice and, most importantly, quiet here. Except for some CUNT whose car alarm has been going off intermittently for half an hour now, waking me earlier than i liked to. Instinctivly shouted abuse from the balcony only to get reprimanded by one of my older relatives, "We don't talk to people like this around here!". Fuck.
It's still quite nice here.
It's still quite nice here.
Just meet and do things with them seperately if you are fond of both. Some people just don't get along, no sense in trying to force it. That old friend sounds a bit too much like a jilted ex gf for my taste, is he giving you shit if you meet with the other friend without him present?
Absolutely, that's some real highschool bs. Some people never age out of that mentality.

I'm in a lot of pain today but I'm trying not to let it affect me. As for you, though, fuck you. Reading my post like a punk. Fuck you. Fuck me as well. Fuck everything.

Life is a mix for me currently. On one hand, I'm doing better than I ever have personally. On the other, the state of western society and a rather unfair situation in my life are fucking with my peace.
Let's start with the good stuff. I've found what I call The Way. I remember reading about this in The Book of Five Rings when I was like 14 or so. I thought that The Way, being so seemingly nebulous or enigmatic, it must show one secrets about life that are priceless.
No. Not at all. What The Way does is reveal a path for one to follow. If you have eyes to see it all you'll know is what the next step requires. More of the path will gradually be revealed as you move forward, but you're doing so with massive uncertainty. You have to be brave. You have to be fully committed. Commitment of this level is actually much rarer than you may realize. I had thought it a staple of my life because how else would I have accomplished anything worthwhile? Turns out I had achieved only twice previously.
Musashi was correct about being able to see The Way in all things if you understand it broadly. This is empowering. Capability is far superior to hedonism and degeneracy.
The other stuff is, well, I don't know. I try to be more stoic about the things I can't control, such as the sociopolitical trajectory of the United States. History shows up many examples of empires falling. It always goes this way. My concern is that this is never an amicable process for all involved. Having seen war, I don't want that here but I have no doubt that whatever is coming can't be stopped. I wouldn't describe myself as totally blackpilled but I am rather annoyed this had to happen in my lifetime. It also fucks with me that children I know and love are going to get caught up in it. On to the more local bad thing.
Fairness is a concept I put no stock in. We made it up, and like any other man made concept, it espouses an ideal it could never hope to achieve. Still, sometimes something happens that feels so fucking unfair it gets under my skin.
I'd recently become friends with a guy I was IG pals with. We connected over a shared love of powerlifting. We'd DM each other memes or posts of lifters hit sick PRs. Turns out this man is married to a cousin of a woman I'm good friends with, one that has done a lot of good things for my wife and my mother. Small world sometimes, right? Anyway, one day he announces that he'd gone to see his doctor because he had a lump on his abdomen appear, and it was concerning. Turns out he's developed cancer on his liver, and it's stage 3. Okay, fuck, but his doctor tells him don't freak out just yet, there's still plenty of time to try treatments. He gets himself setup to take time off work and be comfortable at home. Lots of us pitch in to buy him videogames, a new recliner, new mattress, better A/C, that kind of stuff so he can pass time comfortably. He goes through one round of chemo and shit just goes bad. The cancer metastasizes aggressively. It went from "Hey don't worry, we can get this into remission" to "You've got maybe 6 weeks left."
The plan was we'd lift together on occasion, hang out once in a while, hit a powerlifting meet together once he got well. Now he tells me to come see him in hospice to hang out, share a meal, and then shake hands one last time. I get there, we eat food he cooked, and I meet a few members of his family. I take loss hard now, and have for about 20 years. I'm congratulating myself for holding it together while I was there, because folks, he did not look well. Ever seen someone with serious hepatic issues? I'm saying goodbye and his mother starts bawling. Cue the waterworks for me. I don't totally lose my composure but here is this man trying to comfort me when I'm not the one facing an imminent death.
What fucks with me is just how unfair this all was. He did everything right. He went to college, got a good job, married a great woman and started a family. He was staying active and healthy. He did what his doctors told him to. Now he's gone and there's no good explanation for it. It's nobody's fault, just terrible luck basically. I know shit happens guys, but fuck...
I'm mourning him but I'm not terribly depressed about it. I sure did like him. I think he and I would have been good friends. I also think he wouldn't want me to ever miss anything on account of feeling badly for his death, so I'll keep treading the path. I'll become that guy I told him I wanted to be. It's mostly for me, but also to honor him and the time he was gracious enough to gift me before the end.

Checked the 2003 Chevrolet Malibu yesterday. Rode like a charm, paint was pretty good. Had some superficial issues, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Emissions are getting checked today. If all goes well, I have a new ( to me) car. So I am EXTREMELY STOKED. Especially since it isn't fancy and I get to toss on some anime stickers lol.

Me and my dad are having a fat shaming war against each other. I've talked to him twice this week about mundane things and he'll just be like "maybe you'll lose weight if xyz" I'm a self aware fatty with thick skin but I told him that its kind of rude to bring up someones weight every conversation. He tells me I should call him out for his fatness all the time. That thats what friends should do yada yada. And the thing is I know he's actually insecure about his weight so Idunno why he wants to put it upon himself to be bullied by his daughter. Challenge accepted bro. Got off the phone with him last night and said "WHATTUP FATTY? EAT ANY CHIPS LATELY?" His friend was in the car with him, he stammered.
I have a bad feeling about this fat shaming war. One of us is gonna end up crying gravy tears

Was out grocery shopping with my girlfriend. On the way back, random children greeted her on the street. Some old dude we've never seen before said hello. The fucking clerks at Lidl greeted us. Kids passing us by on bicycles said "Thank you" when we moved out the way! I am not even two hours away from the piece of shit bug hive hood i live in but i might as well be in another dimension. I'd move here in a heartbeat if i could afford it. Definitly have to get my mad-dogging in check as long as i'm here, it's dawning on me it's been a very long time since i've been living in an area with seemingly normal, polite people. Fuck the bug hive, seriously.

Since you have one of those American cars built in the 2000s it reminded me of one of these things you see in the ghetto, which I guess is the black person version of anime cars.

if I survive long enough to get back to school i think I'll go into the political sciences and get into politics. I feel like that would be something I'd be good at eventually.
At least, even now I'd make a better Prime Minister of Canada then Justin Trudeau.
