How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Damnit, I just realized I had one of those defeatist gay "I'm doomed" posts last night, which I said I wouldn't do for a while. I'm better than that. I need to be better about that shit.
Just want to say to everyone here going through trying times that I wish you the best and hope we all can find some peace of mind eventually.
 
As corny as this will sound, I've been finding solace in literature. Also, with the overwhelming white guilt and anti-Western sentiments we see these days, I've also found comfort in reading classics like both the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, George Washington's Rules of Civility, Ben Franklin's Book of Virtues, the Jefferson Bible, and Thomas Paine's Common Sense and the Rights of Man. All the anti-American shit spewed by the left is making more and more want to embrace being an American.
Related, but this is basically the only kind of stuff I've read for 5+ years now. Religious essays and texts, philosophy, classics that are a mixture of the above, or straight up history, ancient to 'modern.'

You quickly realise the men writing these works basically understood life, human nature, and how we must be to not only live in society, but flourish within it.

Now we have supposed intelligent people writing about how 4 year olds need to be more open about sex and masturbation.

Rome truly has fallen.

Oh, you're still doomed, you just need to externalize your hate instead of internalizing it. That's the problem today. We're all doomed, and we hate ourselves, and not the progressive bugmen that have brought us to this place.

I hope it gets better for you, man. In sincerity.

I've never found that blaming external elements did one damn thing to make my life better. Shedding that view opens possibilities: If I am wronged, I take action to mitigate the damage, or I let it go. Either way, their actions impact me less and more superficially.

That's not to say I haven't been sulky or aggrieved or felt unfairly harmed. But it's a self-perpetuating, self-destructive mindset. And it's bad enough spinning on blame of a specific person/event/thing. Blaming "progressive bugmen" or generic or world events/state is next-level boxing yourself in to hopelessness. It's not even nihilism; it's just total abdication of agency and self-responsibility. Hard times happen. We have the capacity to reflect, pivot, adapt, take charge of the things we can, and seek to expand what's within our control.

I know you're committed to your concepts, and there's a lot of energy in your conviction - to the point of evangelizing, even to those going a different direction and benefiting from that.

But I'm curious: what's the point - beyond absolving yourself of responsibility for your life (obviously, that's my spin, not something you've said) - of holding tight and putting such energy into a belief in doom? Putting energy into hopeless misery seems oxymoronic: if you're helpless and hopeless, what is the energy for? To recruit others to a similar misery? To dissuade others from finding or doing better?

You've talked a couple times about getting angry as a positive. Anger is energy, and I agree that occasionally anger-energy can be useful; if a person otherwise has no energy and the anger motivates that person to do something non-destructive, then that can be good. But simply living "angry" is just wasted energy. And unchanneled or misdirected anger has exactly zero use or power. I understand being in that state, but I do not understand advocating for it.
 
We're all doomed, and we hate ourselves
What's this "we" shit? Quit being a doomer faggot on the Internet and find something to do. Grow some plants or get an animal. Take good care of a living creature that you don't utterly despise.

Tax: I'm upgrading a bathroom and the finish line is in sight. After having to deal with some of the worst plumbing jobs I've ever seen, I feel good about fixing things in a way that will last a long time, while being easily replaceable if something extreme happens.
 
Dear fellow speds of Kiwi Farms, rejoice in our shared plight. Know that if we had good social skills, we would be far too powerful for this world. Instead, let us be thankful for the gifts bestowed upon us in the form of our mechabrains and the analytical and cerebral skills we do have. May we be accepted by the world and taken in by its society as we are, the way God made us. :feels:
At this point I'm banking on the afterlife taking the form of a universe sandbox, where we use our experiences and knowledge of this word to craft one of our own.

I've spent like half of this year sick so far. First covid, then some other respiritory thing, and today I woke up with a horrible headache and I just vomited up the little bit of food I managed to choke down. To top it all off, being sick constantly is making my autoimmune problems flare up. It's like a perpetual loop of misery that won't fuck off. I can't complain about this irl because I don't want to worry anyone.
 
Fuck you go eat a cactus Buffalo Wild Wings, an order of 12 wings, onion rings and two beers shouldn't cost 37 bucks.

Same, I had that about a week ago. Still have the flem in the back of my throat. The rest of my family currently has it so I'm being cautious of not getting it again.

I'm just saying people shouldn't be depressed and hate themselves and, if they should hate (and I think hatred is often necessary), they should hate what's around them that is causing the problems, and right now, our society is being assailed by tremendously horrible faggots whose economic and social policies are tearing us down on a very real level, and as far as I am concerned any statement otherwise is a defense of progressivism. As far as I know, if null didn't hate trannies so much on a real and visceral level he wouldn't bother to resist them so much. People are becoming complacent and are internaliziing their situation because they need you to blame yourself, not the shitty power structure. I don't want to be too political (though I guess I stepped over that line) but I'm responding to Not-A-Jew talking about self-loathing. What's that dude got to hate himself about? He's more square and on the level than what this society rewards, he gets knocked down, he blames himself, but it's not his reason it's so hard or there's so many speedbumps to normalcy in America today.

You can't even message a random person online, or often times start a conversation, without being a fucking creep. How you expect anyone to make friends when normal socialization is not only looked down upon, but will potentially be met with legal consequences? Let's stop pretending this shit doesn't effect anything or we can separate things out.

"be chill don't ever get angry" is a meme.

It's the same shit you see on reddit, "the economy isn't bad, Biden is doing great! You're just doing something wrong!" <--- the only time reddit will cheerlead the economy.

It's like this: you want a house, but you can't afford it. The chill, laid back, "smart" people tell you, "just save and work hard, bro. gotta take care of yourself. you control this life. tough talk." and then inflation, interest rates, property values go up; you do all that, but you don't have enough, and they tell you: "well, should have worked harder, nobody owes you anything" as if these navigating these unpredictable factors caused by policymakers is on us or as if politicians and their polices don't deserve onus of blame. Do you hate yourself for your inability to buy a house or hate the policymakers that fuck you over? Or maybe the only house you can afford is a roach motel. Doesn't matter. I think my point is clear. People need to accept responsibility for their actions but our society is encouraging too many people to overdo it. They want you to accept the slop.

I'm considering this to be a positive message. It's not your fault. Stop dogging you yourselves, bros.
The reason you can't perform is that she's an ugly hag that doesn't know how to grind and doesn't brush her teeth, it's not your fault you can't get it up, homie.

Fuck, I think my boss is getting upset at me again, I forget particularties about his life but it's his goddamn life not mine to remember. Not my fault he hast to have everything blacklisted because he is addicted to porn, he gets mad I can't remember he can't access the entire internet. Anyway, I haven't worked in awhile because shit has been slow, and his texts are curt. I am sure he has some problem with my atheism because he brought up god and the heavenly kingdom again, he sits at home watching super religious preachers all day and gets ideas in his head, I don't convert, and he doesn't seem me everyday so the human connection is lost. I need to find a new job anyway. Thinks I'm being irresponsible and arrogant for not giving myself to Christ. A character flaw because I just don't want to do what it takes to do the right thing. I'm sure he rakes my generally pristine behavior in his head for "signs" because I'm an atheist.

Does anyone have any guidance on remote work? Any resources that are out there? I will look for 'normal' jobs but I wonder if I can swing one that doesn't require unnecessary travel.

Do what I do with my Evangelical stepmom and convert to Catholicsm and be snooty that she doesn't have a rosary and follows a sect that has gone astray.
 
One of my friends died a few days ago, so I have been in and out for a lot of reasons related to that.

Looks like nearly every month this year, I will be traveling both domestically and internationally for family reasons and makes having any regular job difficult. I don't necessarily need money in any form of more than a part-time job, so I am pretty blessed like that but still, my life is extremely unstable.
