Random Thought of the Day

[Heelsbythebridge]

I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong

And boy howdy I was wrong

[Nyctophilia]

You can always tell when guys are actually sociosexually restricted vs when they've psyopped themselves into repressing their sexuality. Or they're just envious and unable to satisfy their sexual desires, by how they respond to sex workers online lol. Some of them transparently also envy 'that they can get paid for that'

I cant even put into words how angry I feel watching this video

video made me physically ill

I'm not saying she is trying to get God to destroy human kind, but if she were, what would she do different?

Simps are the ultimate evil of the universe. Of this I am convinced.

I cannot describe the amount of existential dread I?m feeling watching this. Like, I?m not saying this as a joke or for the memes. I?m feeling an overwhelming sense of dread from this. That and murderous rage.

This isn?t sufficient. These women are insulated from real consequences due to simping. We must retroactively tax them into poverty and put them on a permanent registry. We?re dealing with narcissists here; all mercy is just weakness.

Women like this truly evil to the core. [anti semitic ramblings follow.]

these brainwashed, submissive-by-nature feminine females are pawns of dominant-by-nature masculine females who have convinced them that it's 'empowering' to be a 'hunter' and sleep around... 🤔

This is pretty good, but I know you reactionaries can do better. I saw your reaction to Curtis Yarvin and his liberal bdsm writer ex-fiance. It was extremely normal (tm)

Everybody's trad-NRX until the they/them [BEEP] comes knocking.

The correlation coefficient between femoids and the tanking of Right-wing movements and leaders is almost one.

Not drugs, not money, not power. Women have brought low more men, great men, men of intellect, power & prestige--presidents, kings, you name it. Hell Helen of Troy brought down an entire civilization. They feminine wiles have been the most dangerous thing on earth from minute one

It's something like this. The tweeters barely disguised fetish.

You know if they did more than just that, I wouldn't see them as ''sluts'' . Plenty of women played with sexuality and sensuality but had more to offer. To me it just feels like empty calories and it doesn't do it for me.

Tragic he's been forced against his will at gunpoint to watch reposted clips from tiktok/onlyfans and doesn't know about YouTube.

I don't know why people are having such a hard time with this video. The story is obvious: Caroline meets you in a coffee shop, you drop acid together in a box, then she turns into a manticore and says something that gives you a panic attack and chases you through a construction site trying to explain herself, and to make it up to you she invites you along on her latest museum heist. Whatever was in the jug you stole caused her to have a very severe allergic reaction, so you take her back to your place. Then you turn into a goat and she throws you into the sea.

Like, very obvious three act structure here folks, perfectly straightforward storytelling. Really don't see what the problem is.

Their reaction and the degree is kind of mind blowing haha. I don't care because I don't envy them I guess. Also I make money from YouTube videos about video games to entertain an audience of mostly (70% ) women and that's very low status too lol.

When Wright took his idea to the Maxis board of directors, Jeff Braun says, "The board looked at The Sims and said, 'what is this? He wants to do an interactive doll house? The guy is out of his mind.'" Doll houses were for girls, and girls didn't play video games. Maxis gave little support of financing for the game. Electronic Arts, which bought Maxis in 1997, was more enthusiastic.

Haha jokes on you.

I actually was a very girly kid (played with dolls, favourite colour was pink until age 7ish, changed outfits several times a day randomly, wanted to be a mermaid etc,) and played video games. The most excited I've ever been in my life was the day my parents bought me and my brother a playstation. I wish I could get excited by things like that now. I was pretty into computers and similar stuff though so also geeky.

Actually changing outfits constantly probably isn't 'girly' per se interest in fashion/clothes is I guess. My memory is vague so I don't really know why I used to do that lol. I remember I think my mum commenting on it at some point. I had a bunch of weird quirks.

The Sims is the most harrowing game ever made. If you actively enjoy it, you're either a dangerous sadist, or you're just playing it wrong.

Yes.

But I'm not really indulging sadism most of the time while playing so also no. Twitter is a better outlet for sadism and domination fantasies occasionally. You don't have to expend effort really you can engage in it vicariously. Like reading all the people react to the sex worker. I like it when people think I'm secretly trying to destroy/control them too. I'm not really but I enjoy them thinking that. It's fun.

Twitter would be more useful if I wasn't part of a couple of 'victim' groups though. Instead I get mostly annoyed by the constant infantalisation.

Like I say this was pretty good (there are 18+ stories that are not too far removed from this too lol...):

these brainwashed, submissive-by-nature feminine females are pawns of dominant-by-nature masculine females who have convinced them that it's 'empowering' to be a 'hunter' and sleep around... 🤔

I did check and he definitely wasn't being sarcastic either lol:

I'll take "Trad Wives" for 500 Alex.

No, sorry, sorry... we were looking for Billie Jean King or Cardi B...

Trad wives aren't brainwashed by anyone to the contrary, they've resisted being bullied by the masculine female narrative to dominate and instead, adhered to their 'complementary' nature to masculine males.

Oh yeah and the internet are fixated on 'trad wives' right now too... I'm mostly indifferent to that. Obviously some people are using them to further their own agenda etc and some women are too, but I don't think most women are typically aware of that or trying to push white nationalism etc.

It's very Disney. Very Maleficent and prince Philip fight over Aurora.

and the dominant narrative today is an attack on nature... the masculine females push 'FEMINISM'... feminine females are being brainwashed by the DOMINANCE of the masculinity of the masculine females.

😀 Almost makes me like feminism you know? Unfortunately most of it's not a plotline taken straight out of porn. Ftr I was yelled at persistently by a feminist once for like a solid month and she kept signing up new accounts for posting a study on a forum (without comment,) that I think pointed out that the real problem with sex addiction they found was usually related to guilt/shame rather than true addiction (not 100% sure that was the finding though but it was something vaguely like that.) So she kept yelling at me to kill myself, and that I should go do porn/sex work etc because it's abuse on and on. She had pre-existing issues with me but that was a huge trigger for her, and a lot of feminists are actually quite sex/porn negative and so no.

This niche reactionary belief is 'Kind of hot though. I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you' (yeah most politics now is just sex stuff manifesting in a weird way.)

We don't really know who the 'masculine females' are in this equation. I'm assuming feminist and [BEEP] theory writers like Judith Butler and I'm really more androgynous than masculine, but I'm going to identify with this role anyway. 'Choose your character' lol.

I'm not actually a psychopath though so I do also feel bad/experience guilt which kind of conflicts at times. Depends on how serious/traumatised/upset they appear. Like one guy kept going on about how women and trans men were secretly trying to feminise/domesticate all cis men etc which is fun, but he seemed to have had issues from a past relationship that may have been abusive so not good. He talked about his ex a lot.

I'm pretty sure this was a leftist/liberal/centrist shitposting so it's not as good as serious responses from reactionaries but still amusing moreso because of all the ridiculous stuff:

Having been left by his loving wife, Curtis Yarvin has coupled himself with a cat sorceress Lydia Laurenson promissing her dominion over all the NRX
He worships catgirls
He Blackens his skin with leather, like a gimp
He practices promiscuities listening to vile avant garde noise

At one point someone said I was demonic/Satanic on a forum because I had an avatar of this painting of a merman painting of this story and my username was a Greek goddess LOL.



I'm trying to find the post, it may have been deleted by mods. I just stumbled on this weird post where I posted some freewriting I created instead lol it's all from 2018:

There once was a cat named Lily that flew by all the windows of the town and splintered the window panes with blood curdling screams that never disapeared. And after everyone had left the chaos that emerged from the trees twisted them into statues that fell into your mouth. And I can't hide this empty wonder as trees melt softly into a cage that sits on top of hills. And spires that light the darkness that crawls into the mist and shadow, fighting with demons and glass.

Maybe this should end if I can play this song into the bright and open up all the crisp packets with scarlet worrying miners. And daylight sparkles into the end of the street. Trying to jump into caverns and fireflys run into the mound of dirt that lists to the side of your head. Lilting in the twilight.

And some from November:

their open toed cats made things hard to believe because while they are their food and thought about all the cats they'd forgotten they could no longer admit that they were filing papers into oblivion with ease. And this method is inane and difficult and wondering why I can't seem to shake this boredom. As ever increasing numbers of people fall into the thrashing maw of his unholy demonic orifices that bleed out eternally into escape routes that chaotically intertwine with peaceful doves that frollic among thieves and teach dogs to own their feelings. And wine is a curious trap for pets but there is no way out of the fire. Six floors below the habitat that ensnares your mind. Hopeless alibis fall from your eyes mixing words diving runes counting the moons that slay the sky.

Even in context this is weird lol.

Ah man I can't find it it was so funny lol. I can't even remember what the actual thread was about but then he just started going on like 'many women in these days have turned against God' or something like that then started describing my avatar, name etc so it was really obvious who he was talking about but he didn't actually say my name (which is good because it's forbidden to speak that name lmfao. In the mythology,) just like 'someone who has posted in this thread' it's funny because this specifically used to annoy me a bit when I was a young teenager. People used to make that assumption based on my clothing style at the time. Anyway none of that stuff was Satanic either. I am kinda, but my avatar/name wasn't.


edit: Man it's so weird how most of my parent's generation got married in their early 20s lol. Well that might not be a statistical truth but I notice it a lot in famous people when I look them up, and my parents got married when they were 21. They didn't have kids for ages though. My dad didn't really want any. Though he says he changed his mind after we were born. They really weren't great together though. I think most millennials saw that in our parents and went in the opposite direction of either getting married later or not getting married and also being pickier etc.

A majority of millennials those born from 1981 to 1996 aren't tying the knot at the same rate as previous generations.

56% of millennials are not married, leaving less than half of millennials saying 'I do,' according to the Pew Research Center.

For communications major and millennial Cara Polus there is a different mentality towards marriage that her generation has, compared to how her parents approached it, who have been married for over 35 years.

'There's a lot of fear around marriage and getting trapped into something that may not be good,' Polus said. 'A lot of people are just wanting to go on a journey with someone before they commit to something that big.'

This is America though I assume.

My mum's youngest sister is also gen x (my mum was born in the late 50s and my aunt in '72 so big age gap,) and never got married though but she's been in a relationship with her partner for 2+ decades now and they have 2 kids.

Tyler Mikkelson, a communications major and a millennial, voiced the same sentiment while adding that he has many friends with divorced parents.

"My parents never got divorced, but half of my friends? parents got divorced. How do you see that and say, 'Oh, marriage is a good thing,'" Mikkelson said. "My brother's friends got married in their early thirties [and] late twenties, and they seem happy. We'll see in 10 years."

My parents never got divorced they seperated when I was in my 20s though, and their relationship was unhealthy and they didn't communicate properly.

There's really no such thing as moderation with me. I am either 100% in one direction or the other.

Suggestive of why most mainstream music isn't rock:

After being signed to Arista Records, Lavigne moved to New York and began working on her debut album, Let Go, collaborating with a host of prime songwriters and producers. For a year, nothing was working for Lavigne and was on the verge of getting dropped off Arista.[2] The management pitched her songs written by other songwriters, but she declined, insisting she wanted to write songs herself.[3] Lavigne relocated to Los Angeles, where she collaborated with songwriter-producer Clif Magness, who gave her ample creative control in the writing process. Lavigne and Magness wrote "Losing Grip" and "Unwanted", songs that she deemed reflective of her vision for the entire album.[4] However, Arista was not thrilled with the heavy-guitar laden songs that Lavigne was writing, prompting the label to look for other producers to match their demands.[5]

Lavigne came to the attention of the three-piece production team the Matrix. Arista could not find the right direction for Lavigne, so the team's manager, Sandy Roberton, suggested that they work together.[6] According to member Lauren Christy, they had been listening to Lavigne's early songs and felt they contained "a Faith Hill kind of vibe". As soon as they saw Lavigne coming into their studio, the Matrix felt that her musical direction was incongruous to her image and attitude.[6] After talking to Lavigne for an hour, the singer said she wanted songs with punk rock inclinations. They told her to come back the following day, and in the afternoon during that day, they wrote a song that evolved into "Complicated" and another song called "Falling Down". They played it to Lavigne, inspiring her musical path.[6]

When Josh Sarubin, the A&R executive who signed Lavigne to the imprint, heard the song, he knew it was right for her. Lavigne presented the song to Reid, who agreed the musical direction Lavigne and the Matrix were taking, and set "Complicated" as the album's lead single.[6]

Ftr I think those are two of her best songs LOL. So massive [BEEP] you to them.





This song kind of gets at that too:

Something like this lol:



Only insert rage in here somewhere (because the stupid fucking response lol. I attacked them in return.) Then go back to only talking about myself here and/or ignoring any responses to anything I post.

[Nyctophilia]

[there was more post here but it doesn't matter and decided to remove it lol.]

Not only that but the more you guys push this hyper masculine war fetish ideal thing the more I notice... Nevermind my attention has been completely derailed/highjacked lol:



That outfit is ridiculously hot.

Yeah I don't care anymore (about the stuff I was talking about before) lol.

I love how dedicated they are to make Barbie's town, accessories, clothes, look like a children's playset. I'm glad this isn't a gritty live action, but a campy one instead

I don't think anyone would try to do a gritty take on Barbie...

Excuse me. As I said before:

I kind of need this film to be like some kind of weird surreal dark artsy detournement. Bonus points for including this song somewhere:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_k8A43CSE8

There's an academic with a drug problem just slowly losing the plot, and Barbie realises that she has infinite clones being controlled by female children like Being John Malkovich and she has an existential crisis. No wait she has infinite lives and the memories of her other lives start seeping through. And she has an existential crisis. Maybe the academic is a Barbie too.

And it's just like Fight Club somehow.

But at the end of the day kids are going to want to watch this because they play with the dolls and then I come back down to Earth.

[...] the whole soundtrack should just be Crywank's last album

lol just Coil and Crywank tracks

omg. He does look like him in that photo. But without the hair. I forgot about him.



His content is so fucking random. Also how is 4 years older than me but seems like an anachronistic time travelling figure? And now that I think about it also sounds like tumblr tags lol. 'I'm like an American girl doll that got left out in the rain. I'm lovely. Men want to protect me.'



'everything is relative to the niece.' 🤣



That character is hilarious. Like the American Mighty Boosh.

Oh it's his favourite show apparently yeah it shows lol.

[Nyctophilia]

Yeah so I'm bored and going back to the topic I started writing about and then deleted in my post yesterday lol.

So you can find fascists gloating about how more men have been moving to the far right. And people have been noting for some time that white university educated women have been moving further to the left. In the early 20th century women actually were more conservative than men but at some point that flipped and the trend with educated white women in particular increased more significantly since the mid 2010s. There's also a trend for working class white men moving further to the right. This is kind of anecdotally obvious really. So there's a gender/class divide and some people frame the culture war as more of a gender war between men and women now. Although there are political reasons for pushing that narrative too (though the data kind of reflects that,) and I'm not sure what their end goal is besides like Freudianesque revenge fantasies.

There's a lot of data in what I've written here, so in the interests of time and simplicity I'm going to highlight the point up front, which is: the defining cultural and political faultline of our era is the one between Men and Women. It rarely declares itself as such, and it may be more accurate to say the line is between 'characteristically masculine and feminine' but I'll get into that nuance further below.

Men Vs Women in the democratic party: 'As has been the case for more than two decades of Pew Research Center surveys, women are significantly more likely than men to associate with the Democratic Party.'

Labour Vs Conservative in the UK: 'Conservative and Labour support has become more and more divided by gender over time. From 2015 onwards, women have been supporting Labour in higher numbers than men by ever larger margins.'

https://fitzfromdublin.substack.com/...m_medium=email

Wondering what the fascist end game is too since they can't exactly lock every white woman up in concentration camps or at least it's not an ideal tactic but that may be because I'm conflating them with other right wing movements who sell the idea that they're 'protecting white women/white people' more. I assume they'll conclude it's university that does it and try to push for women to be less educated/gain control of that.

Christianity took off in the first place because it was more popular with women than men,

Although some classical writers claimed that women were easy prey for any "foreign superstition," most recognized that Christianity was unusually appealing because within the Christian subculture women enjoyed far higher status than did women in the Greco-Roman world at large (Fox 1987;Chadwick 1967; Harnack 1908 ).

This happens with lots of cultural stuff that becomes popular. The original Nazi party also benefited from women promoting it but the current fascists aren't going to have that advantage because women see them as enemies and have moved in a different direction politically.

They're also competing with technocapitalism which eventually is going to offer men sex robots. They can't offer men that because they see anything like that as 'degenerate.' What they're mostly offering is war which some men find appealing. Like they'll all fight/die in a mass war. Kind of a death cult.



Again they can't offer men what the Nazi party did (family etc,) because women aren't interested. There's probably a limit to how many men they can recruit into a dystopian forced marriage/mass rape situation. Cultures like that don't tend to last long because women become significantly more violent like violent behaviour in women correlates with being victims of domestic violence, you also get significantly higher rates of infanticide. They claim to care about 'dysgenics' and that is very dysgenic. But a lot of people claim to care about [BEEP] they don't to further vague goals/animalistic drives so that tracks anyway.

Yeah so there's no point to it besides death really from what I can see. No that makes perfect sense because we live in a very nihilistic time but yeah.

Also to be clear in the UK working class men are transparently pushed towards joining the armed forces as they're seen as disposable. Now they're also targeting people who use social media a lot and gamers too though lol.

Education itself is often cited as being the key driver of political polarisation in part because growing partisanship in western countries maps better on to education levels than it does to most other factors.

A lot of the right is actually driven by resentment and envy, so when they accuse the left of that there's quite a bit of projection going on, although these may be different subgroups tbf (and I suppose they're accusing leftists who they view as a degenerate underclass of envy more than like 'liberal elites (tm)')

Some of this is driven by people who view themselves as being part of the 'upper class' but are secretly saving the 'lower classes.' Curtis Yarvin has that kind of attitude. Some substack quotes that I'm reading atm 'cause it was linked in another thing remind me of this kind of vague group (this is how these people write. They're all very fixated on IQ too):

https://richardhanania.substack.com/...of-the-culture

Richard Hanania is the President of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology.

The Center for Study of Partisanship and Ideology (CSPI) is a right-of-center think tank which studies biases in the media, universities, and the scientific community. The organization primarily reports on bias against conservatives. CSPI provides research grants of $2,000-$15,000 to applicants to study incidents or trends of bias against conservatives. 1

Step 3: The Upper Class Defines Itself as Morally and Aesthetically Superior

The real source of class difference is traits like IQ and intellectual curiosity. This has always been true to a certain extent, and it is truer than ever now. Even without blank slate ideology – or even the ability to acknowledge behavioral differences between classes regardless of the source – the upper class needs a way to distinguish itself from the masses.

Judith Rich Harris writes about the inevitability of group conflict in The Nurture Assumption.

…when human groups split up, individuals tend to choose the side with which they are most compatible: like seeks like. In the case of groups composed of families, such as human communities, most individuals have no choice about which way to go, but those who do will go to the side with which they have the most in common. The result will be, in many cases, a statistical difference between the daughter groups. There might be some minor behavioral difference between the members of the two groups, or some minor difference in appearance. Then again, there might not be.

In humans, hostility between groups leads to the exaggeration of any preexisting differences between the groups, or to the creation of differences if there were none to begin with. You may have thought it was the other way round — that differences lead to hostility — but I believe it is more a case of hostility leading to differences. Each group is motivated to distinguish itself from the other because if you don’t like someone you want to be as different from them as possible. So the two groups will develop different customs and differ*ent taboos. They will adopt different forms of dress and ornamentation, the better to tell friend from foe in a hurry.

Harris calls this process pseudospeciation. In previous generations, when there was a weaker relationship between class and IQ, people were more likely to have other identities – regional, ethnic, etc. – that were more salient for their politics. An upper-class individual from North Carolina could feel he had more in common with local proles than the upper class in Illinois. Today, given greater class differentiation, and multiple generations of families living within the same IQ-based class stratum, the chasm between them and the lower classes seems much more relevant. The upper class need not have much direct contact with the lower class to realize this; reading about what proles are like or familiarity with their sources of entertainment or voting practices is enough to create a strong sense of difference. Modern communications technology helps with all of this, as elites in North Carolina and Illinois both read The New York Times instead of their local papers.

The American culture war is part of a global trend. The German far right marches against covid restrictions and immigration. In France, Le Pen wins the countryside and gets crushed in urban centers. Throughout the developed world you see the same cleavages opening up, with an educated urban elite that is more likely to support left-wing parties, and an exurban and rural populist backlash that looks strikingly similar across different societies.

It's worth noting that not every part of it is adopted everywhere all the time. Americans are so solipsistic. Like the push back against vaccines in the UK was really small and wasn't partisan at all because most people support the NHS. So my dad has very different political views to me or my brother and is right wing but still was in favour of vaccines/lock down measures etc.

A certain degree of class differentiation in aesthetic taste is natural; some people are going to like reading Shakespeare, and others want to go see cars drive around in circles. But the distortive effect of egalitarian ideology is such that the elite need to differentiate itself gets to the point where the upper class can't stand the thought of having anything in common with its inferiors, and more of life comes to be dominated by this impulse. The upper class has to pretend that mayonnaise doesn't taste good, or that feces is great art. For the status conscious, architecture, sculpture, food, painting, clothes, and sexual tastes and preferences all become class markers.

The same thing happens with politics. The upper class supported the public acceptance of homosexuality in part because it grosses people out. When it won that battle, it moved on to trans ideology, because the point is less some abstract moral conviction than it is about feeling superior. It is like this with every other social issue. Today, the "conservative" position on gender and race is always the liberal position from a generation or two ago, but the modern liberal position always has a need to go one step further in order to establish distance between itself and the rest of society.

Paul Fussell, in his book on the American class system, which was originally published in 1983 but still holds up well, writes that,

At the bottom, people tend to believe that class is defined by the amount of money you have. In the middle, people grant that money has something to do with it, but think education and the kind of work you do almost equally important. Nearer the top, people perceive that taste, values, ideas, style, and behavior are indispensable criteria of class, regardless of money or occupation or education.

The lower class sees money as a marker of status because it doesn't have any other option, as it is less intelligent and capable of understanding the subtleties required to develop upper-class preferences and tastes. Fashions change so fast that just keeping up requires mental energy, which is lacking among the lower IQ. Trans ideology was being pushed in college seminars and New York Times op-eds before it made it on to TV and into mass advertising campaigns, hence giving the intelligent and aware a head start of several years in their ability to use the issue to raise their own status and denigrate others. The fact that the rules are so arbitrary and ever-shifting is part of the point this serves to exclude those incapable of following along. In fact, the entire idea of making aesthetics and taste the basis of a status system is offensive to proles because it leaves them permanently on the outside looking in. If status is based on money, they might at least at some point win the lottery.

Moreover, if the lower class was actually able to figure out and adopt the aesthetic preferences and tastes of the higher class, the latter would once again feel the need to distinguish itself and move on to something else. The moment poor people started saving up all of their money and showing up at the trendiest restaurants, elites would start unironically enjoying Big Macs. If proles 'learned' to enjoy postmodern art, we would see a growing appreciation for a new twenty-first century romanticist movement.

So I've had minimal issues with picking up on stuff. I don't agree with everything though. I actually disagree with most people these days haha. People are very atomised now even considering polarisation there's a lot of disagreement. I stumbled across all this info online and none of it in university. I don't read mainstream news often. So I think they overestimate the effect that university education has. I studied a games art related degree at uni and all my modules were related to what I was studying except this one business module which was kind of bs (you don't really get much choice in the UK that's one big difference from UK vs US universities.) The culture war and politics in general just didn't come up at all while I was at uni. I mean you don't really have time in between clubbing/drinking and pulling all nighters trying to get work done (the workload on my course was really insane/intense compared to most people I knew studying other degrees. Which is funny from a course which is really like... I mean it's a game dev degree lol. It's not medicine) I still have nightmares sometimes that I haven't finished my degree/dissertation LOL.

The uni I went to was also fairly low ranked and lots of people I knew/hung out with were working class. I'm lower middle class and I'm from Luton which is obviously infamous in England (to the point several people have expressed sympathy for me haha,) and a working class town. I have my own personal reasons for disliking Luton but it's difficult because people weaponise class.

You do obviously get a lot of antisocial personalities in working class towns. It's the same at the top of society but they can sublimate their antisocial traits/behaviour into more socially acceptable forms. Then they are also often more diverse in terms of everything but the value gap definitely causes issues between people. Upper class people tend to be less diverse ideologically imo. But you know even people who spend time fixating on ethnoreligious conflicts (which is more common among working class people,) will switch to viewpoints that favour blaming the elites and not other working class people now and again.

My IQ is either about 94 or 119 as I said before (took an equivalent test when 11 got 94. Everyone had to take this test to decide who gets into the gifted and talented program at school. Then took an IQ test some rationalist guy online sent me in my late 20s scored 119,) I'm also kind of mentally slow. So as I pointed out already that's bs lol. I just don't think if these tests measure something important that's supposed to be consistent over time accurately it should be possible to go from 94 to 119 lol. Like MBTI is bs but I almost always score INTP/INFP so it's more consistent than intelligence tests for me lol.

I don't even think most of what they're getting at has anything to do with IQ, it seems more related to personality traits like 'openness.'

Most of culture is created by 4chan and Tumblr now imo probably tiktok now too. Academics write about stuff they notice happening in online spaces as well. I don't think the point is for people to not be able to follow along either. It's for people to express themselves creatively.

Also it's all so like 'let's fixate on a boring subset of rich upper class coastal elite (tm) Americans, and the kind of people who buy modern art as some kind of clout game investment.' Probably same people into NFT's or whatever. 'Oh look there's an ugly red sculpture. I don't get it and we'll talk about it for weeks.' 'Oh my God trans people, genders and modern art.' OK yeah anyway. She's trans:







And I like it inspite of my increasing dislike for the 'True Crime thing.' Though I was never really a fan especially because I noticed how it paralleled hysteria about pedophilia/violence in the culture, that Jeffrey Dahmer series really was the tipping point for me lol. Lots of the victims relatives weren't even OK with the show. They're still alive you know.

Also there's a kind of mutual contempt just directed at different segments of both 'tribes' it's particularly notable on say twitter but also in mainstream news sources.

edit: Also ftr there are a bunch of right leaning upper class people in the US and Canada. You can find them all on twitter. Elon Musk is also an example.

No most trans women should be attracted to me and straight trans women categorically aren't. I swear most of them are exclusively attracted to very masculine men lol. They are straighter than most straight cis women. Also I don't tend to be attracted to straight trans women. You see it just won't work.

A 2015 survey of roughly 3,000 American trans women showed that at least 60% were attracted to women. Of the trans women respondents 27% answered gay, lesbian, or same-gender-loving, 20% answered bisexual, 19% heterosexual, 16% pansexual, 6% answered asexual, 6% queer, and 6% did not answer.

I need to delusionally pretend I have a chance. Otherwise I'll just get bored with life.

i love when you post genderbent Loki cause i kinda look like that and get gender euphoria 😂

Also Ethel Cain seems more romantically into guys but she kisses female fans at concerts and someone wrote on wikipedia that she's bisexual but there's no source for that I don't think, but I need to daydream about her too. Because she has glasses.



Why don't you care about my daydreams Ellen?



It's her fault for using male pronouns in a song when she's in the video with someone who has non-binary energy. May need to steal the camo jacket too. 'So you're saying there's a chance' 'no you're an insane recluse who is 5'2" and haven't bothered to cut your hair for ages. You're not actually that cool/butch' 'The character you're self inserting as appears to die at the end of the video/lyrics.' Obviously that's just her friend she's chilling with 'but the lyrics are talking about a camo jacket and they're wearing a camo jacket.'




What else am I supposed to do? Date cis men again? Where am I going to find and get rejected by Geddy Lee's clone. Or Chris Corner's clone? That hair isn't in fashion anymore. Even the person I was attracted to when I was 18 who wasn't into me who id's as non-binary now has short hair now. I don't think Ellen has thought this through. And that's pretty ironic for someone with the first name Ellen.

Won't somebody think of the chasers? Reached the point where it's hard to say if glasses or androgyny or trans women is winning in my evil fetishistic sexuality. Also 'nerds/geeks' hah obviously. At least I'm not mostly into Asian/Eurasian guys atm. That was an era too. I have one goal in life and that's to accumulate as many politically incorrect preferences as possible. But also that's a trick because everything is terrible and evil now so we're collectively doomed.







He was super cute tho. (Geddy Lee.) Bears repeating over and over again forever apparently:



I need to know more about this outfit:



I love it when singers pull this face. One of my favourite expressions:

Imagine being the only guy to compete with IAMX for literally the last 6 years. We should give him an award.





Also obviously:



but I wasn't really into him for most of that time lol I was into him in 2014/2015 mostly I think. Now I'm more into this era of his hair because I wasn't paying as much attention to it back then:



Actually I developed a crush on someone I never saw who's a trans woman, and I was more into her than Ethel Cain or the trans woman who follows me on twitter. I say was like I don't still think about her at times :') I'm definitely going to fall in love with AI one day I guess. Not chatgpt though. We have creative differences.

Anyway to stop shitposting. (I then edited this post so many times. Oh my God. But still after this is mostly serious. I mean this whole post is sort of serious but at the same time not.)

She does have a lot of dumb opinions though lol obviously. She's a republican with several gay men and lesbians in her family so she basically accepts them but has been taught by the media to assume trans and '[BEEP]' people which she treats as a separate category from gay + lesbian even though they overlap are evil groomers.

I have learned that the Trans Community are vicious and pretty much hate the Gay and Lesbian community. They assert their allegations without any real backup and pretty much think Gay men and lesbians are wrong. That they should "transition" I'm good with gay men and women!

It would make more sense if she said we hate straight men tbh all things considered (and on a personal level lol all things considered. I mean I like to [BEEP] around with their sexuality/gender in fantasy.) Though I do find transphobic gay men particularly annoying since they often insist people like me want to rape them and I'm not even attracted to them 99.9% of the time. Perhaps it's a trauma response that they feel that way. I also note some people in every group do this with another group (and to some extent it sounds a bit like OCD,) and yet people can't step back and think 'huh I've been treated this way before, maybe I shouldn't assume an entire group of people is just like this.'

Here's another example haha she thinks all her bi/lesbian friends/acquaintances are into her (I don't mind though because she's conscious about the fact she's doing it):



On top of that I find there are many gay and some bisexual men (like Jeffree Star,) who have an attraction to masculine straight men which they talk about often online, and opportunistically try to have sex with them if they can get away with it (if they're feminine enough,) so it feels hypocritical. That they do this has never bothered me, even though other people see it as inherently predatory. Most trans men and non-binary people aren't having sex with people who don't want to have sex with them... You can debate over the labels I guess but there are people who id as gay who have sex with trans men. I have no issue with lesbian women. And I don't think people should transition unless they want to because I'm pro body autonomy.

My back has been hurting since I used my weed whacker for the first time. It was the same angle as shoveling snow - no wonder.

I tried to run yesterday with the back in pain, and I felt twisted up lol.

I mean I am going to need to chuck every one of the men who quotes this fucking line into a volcano:

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times

I am very done with that.

Hopefully that will be a hard enough time for them. It seemed to work in Pompeii but that was volcanic ash.

I feel a bit better today - still a bit of a twinge in my back if I am in the wrong position. I have my third run tonight, so hopefully it will go better.
