I love my father. I love myself. I hate my job. I need to stop procrastinating.
Why can't she just leave my mind. You're not welcome anymore, not my head, not my heart, and not in my state. The next time we meet, a tempest shall manifest in my presence.
I always want to finish things today because I want results today.
But it can't always be done today.
I wait for tomorrow.
But before you know it, tomorrow turns into today.
When will tomorrow cease being today and become tomorrow?
I am alive. It doesn't really matter what I do with myself, so long as I do something; so long as I take great handfuls of life. To that end I'm going to shitpost on /lit/ tonight, listen to bad music on youtube, and contemplate what pleases me, however delusional. Maybe I will actually read a book later, but probably not.

I am a dragon in human form. This sucks. Wow I'm pathetic. I wonder what will happen if I post this. No wait, I'm just psychotic. But I'm on meds now. I guess I just find some delusions so seductive they penetrate the lucidity of the pills. I almost killed several people in an act of terrorism and then I went insane. It's ok to post that because I didn't actually kill anyone and all the evidence is disposed of. Man, this body is awful. I wonder which of the four books I'm reading I should finish first. I'm not very good at being a dragon. I'm not very good at being a human. I'm awful. I wonder when someone will slay me. I'll probably have to sell my guns soon to pay to fix my van. I wish the voices in my head would come back but I don't want to be permanently psychotic. Someone will yell at me for this post and I will feel bad. Someone will yell at me for this post and I will feel giddy, like I've trolled them. I shouldn't post this. Oh well, it's anonymous, fuck it.

I'm way too comfortable. I'm pretty much never bored. I don't do things I don't want to do and essentially have no responsibilities. I've been sleeping 10-14h a day for the last couple months, and I feel like I'm growing more and more stupid. I'm losing touch with friends, and I have no real interests. I don't need to be alive, but I am because it's the path of least resistance.

I don't want to be among my own kind. I want to be where I am maximally obnoxious to others.
I'm stuck in an unfortunate position where I want to achieve something noble (on a few different fronts), but am too lazy/apathetic to do anything, so I wallow around in self-loathing despite knowing I should be doing something else.

I feel like I have some responsibility for how awful my life has become, but I can't think of very many choices I made to lead me here. It was all other people.

Lily-white tears in the cosmic clockwork rain. Man the fuck up bitch.
I'm not diagnosed with anything but I'm pretty sure I would be should I ever see a therapist.
I have to count the number of vowels of the most of what I say, then the number of vowels someone else says, then the number of vowels of something I read. The number of vowels can never equal six, otherwise I will add words to what I'm saying (or even thinking) and it will usually be something like 'wow yes good man' - I'll say this to myself though. After counting the vowels I sometimes count the words, and they can never equal six either, so will add words but make sure the number of vowels do not reach a multiplier of six, or any number with six in it. Sometimes I just don't care fuck all about vowels and words and repeat a sentence or word over and over for no apparent reason. The number six pervades into how many of something I have, how many steps I've taken, or my number of chews. When I'm walking I try to avoid cracks but if I step on a crack I must step on a crack with my other foot and continue to step on cracks - I cannot stop. If I step on cracks with one leg more than the other, the latter leg will feel like it's on fire. I just now repeated the last three words of the preceding sentence twice for no apparent reason. It agitates me.

Out of nothingness and time the strings are conceived.
Short fibrous strands at first, but they grow into strong, ropey lines.
They flow through the emptiness, a million tributaries that join to create a great river.
They begin to weave into light and forms.
Incandescent rays shine from their labyrinthine webs.
In time, they create a tapestry.
I feel like a successful and happy life is a series of made connections in transit. A bus that takes you to the train station, arriving five minutes before the train leaves. That train takes you to central station, where you change trains, with two minutes to switch platforms. That train takes you to the airport and you have just enough time to check in, drop your bag, go through customs and make the flight. That flight takes you to a central hub, and from there you get the connecting flight to paradise and your future.
The problem is I think I missed the first bus. So the rest is moot. The solution is obvious for we have all the time we need: book a new flight and start over. But I can't afford it.

Have you ever been a wall a way from death? I believe it is death... honestly I do not check my odds. I know the general favour and I fret never become an optimist. I don't want to lay down let down y'know? Play on words. Sorry, I'm nervous- thats what it's like. I'd construct the wall for you but it's pointless I haven't heard a single fire. And they could reach us- no doubt. This is close enough, and bullet is hard enough, and a gun shoots well enough. I don't need to construct that either? But Construct this. A river flowing from its beginning to its infinite end. It was clear and it is met with salt. It was pure before it's estuary, and it knew where it was going. Maybe that is key? A river is alive, it flows. In it's ocean everything is alive accept itself. It is still, silent, huddled bravely below his friend. Huddled enough so that the friend ahead shields, brave enough so that he shields the friend behind. But the construction? The stillness is key. The ocean sits as if it was met with walls on every side. It sits and waits, while the world passes by immensely through it. Through one picture; through four walls; through so certain death surround; death itself? Maybe it's becoming a medium is its own claim to life. Maybe a walled in picture death transmits life flow beyond its years; down a million mountains and through the box of such potential: an unmet end to the well-read thought

Life stretches and explores all crevasses which can sustain it. We yearn and desire, every human being is forced by time to blindly feel their way towards an object which lies in the future. Their desire. The desire rests in what the mind can create, some familiar concept. One which exists in both the present and the future and leads one by the heart, with courage, to it's absorption.
Can we exit this stretching? What is more to being than doing? At this moment I've found an existential boundary, one which is the consequence of doing, of thinking. And since I cannot control the ever flowing though, I cannot stop doing. Since I can't stop time, I can't stop my body's maintenance. I cannot stop desiring.
So if I can't escape desire then what is the best desire? Would it be best to follow all of them in order to fully be human? Do they all have their proper time and place for good use?
Understanding is a way if capturing a concept, seeing it's surface, its insides, and it's evolution.
Must desires have utility? The best maybe. The best desires have utility.
Perhaps the best use of artificial intelligence would be to understand language, so that it could map out the doing of humans, and it's evolution.
You are an idiot. No for real, A complete idiot. I shouldn't need to cargo myself to certain death to show you you can never reach my mind.

It's only the sun in his eyes.
It's wishful thinking, or some sort of narrative projection, to imagine that I see, from what I can see of his expression, something in it that can describe or illuminate. It's because of some sympathetic impulse that I taste, when I study his brow, the half-congealed spittle of an unwashed mouth. That brow does not reflect a self-perceived lifetime of humiliation: I infer the same and so see it where I expect it to be.
I can't see boredom in his eyes. He is too much concerned with displaying aggression and hatred; he can't be bored. This is the apotheosis of his devotion. He's been caught at some mid-point in his ravings, that's all. A half-second before or after, and his eyes would spit contempt and menace. It's only happenstance that at this one instant, his eyes convey an illusory sense of tedium. I can't say that he feels like an assembly-line worker coming off a split shift, only that he looks as though he feels that way. And the looking is - must be - a mirage.
His actions are so extreme and so brutal that they can only have been prompted by deep meditation. They must have gestated over a long period, and have been chewed over thoroughly, carefully, relentlessly. The point of no return cannot have been reached with no more thought than the futile swatting of a man who can no longer abide the fly that buzzes around his head. That he looks that way - that his eyes and brow speak to me all at once of the sudden crest of rage, the acceptance of its failure, and the grim, meager comfort in its short-lived catharsis - is just some idiosyncrasy of my attitude. It's something in me, not in his expression. His expression does nothing, says nothing, is nothing.
It's only the sun in his eyes.

I've lived in south london all my life, and its becoming increasingly common for the lower class criminals or gangs who practise islam to become worryingly more extreme in their beliefs. its more of a reaction to the desperate poverty they (misguidedly) believe has been imposed on them by western authority and values than it is anything to do with islam as a whole.

Thales didn't merely conceived water as an empirical unity of everything like a modern scientist but what he posited was the first concrete notion of unity of thought, that everything has a origin in the One of cognition and conversely this principle is related to particular living things in an essential manner.
Wrought in iron prose the lapidary spittle drips across the dash in prurient indolence. My laissez faire attitude distinguishes me from the flock who deny their own flockitude–I lie (on the ground), slyly smirking away at passersby with the disagreeable air of a hunchbacked adonis. Spiritually speaking, my internals gurgle and giggle at the nothingness nearing the edge of what we indefinitely call life, tangoing with the Cioran's specter he left floating in the muddle mist grooving about our shadowless heads, whispering quietly in our ears to continue playing Bartok at an uncle's funeral that has managed to persist for three days now. How did he die, is what the peripherals ask, and with a single gun-shot motion to the head, I bob my curdled waist and slip another sip of my brandy. The tinge of terra cotta touches my lips, and the priest stands sangfroid. Does he touch himself at night? Define your terms the rabble unwittingly begs. And I don't, won't, can't. Phantasmagoric the waves splashing all's skin is, Yoda says in my dream that isn't a dream.

But it's not misguided, since they are poor because of capitalism anon.
>>7492586
Yes.
>>7492595
That's true to a certain extent, but if it makes them feel so persecuted or ostracised that they are driven into severe acts of violence against their own kin, its more like a narcissistic hegelian resentment than a justifiable revolution against capitalism. Just look at the london riots, the rioters were sacking and looting local businesses because they 'wanted their taxes back', as if they even had jobs well-paid enough for their wages to be taxed, when they almost certainly don't. Those who turn to islamic fundamentalism are just as retarded, and likewise capitalism isn't completely to blame for their retardation
>>7492587
>Like it or not, they're here to stay, what we shouldn't be doing is provoking them into rash acts of fundamentalism.
Actually, the only way to make sure they're not here to stay is radicalise Muslims to the point where state violence against them is justified.
Jihadis are great, you can kill them. Moderate muslims are the true cancer, they are the ones silently taking over by never doing something radical enough to provokes direct opposition but in the main time outbreeding everyone while smilingly building mosques. They pay lip service to multiculturalism for as long as it serves them and then they reach the demographic tipping point they will use the existing political system to erode Western values and replace them with Islamic ones bit by bit.
Your friendly cab driver neighbour is the real problem, not some angry lad with an AK. If anything, the latter is sabotaging the rise of Islam as the dominant ideology by rallying opposition to it.

>then they reach the demographic tipping point they will use the existing political system to erode Western values and replace them with Islamic ones bit by bit.
I see your line of thinking, but I don't buy into the paranoia. There has been so much islamic scholarship produced condemning the acts and tenets of IS that its not even appropriate to refer to them as aligned with present-day islam (even if that currently means 'moderate' or a more relativist islam which can be subsumed within western values). The issue has always been that of fundamentalism in any ideology, and not islamic belief in its totality.

My fear is not Europe turning into a IS tier caliphate because that's not a reasonable fear. My fear is Europe turning into a moderate Muslim shithole like Morocco for example. Which is demographically speaking bound to happen unless we antagonise all Muslims to the point of violent conflict.
It's ironic, but IS might be the saviour of Europe by turning the continent into Bosnia.

Some stuff from Wiki:
According to the Pew Research Center, Europe's population was 6% Muslim in 2010, and is projected to be 8% Muslim by 2030, excluding Turkey.
http://www.pewforum.org/2011/01/27/the-future-of-the-global-muslim-population/
Many projections are likely overestimated since they assume that all descendants will remain muslim, but it's more likely that the European trend will mirror the American: data from the General Social Survey in the United States show that 32 percent of those raised Muslim no longer embrace Islam in adulthood, and 18 percent hold no religious identification.

It is estimated that around the year 2050 the majority of Europe will be non-native.
Big Western European cities are way ahead of the curve when it comes to non-natives and Muslims though, so they tend to be a taste of things to come.
Marseille will have a Muslim majority within a few years, I believe. It's known as the most violent city in Europe.
>>7492950
>It is estimated that around the year 2050 the majority of Europe will be non-native.
Estimated by whom?
>>7492902
Thinking that European Muslims will act like American Muslims is naive wishful thinking.
>>7492957
The first source I found was the Guardian, so you don't have to worry about right wing fear mongering I think.
>>7492919
>"A Pew study published in 2015 projected that in 2050 Muslims will make up 10.2% of Europe's population."
A longer timeline is much harder to predict. My guess is children of Muslims educated in the west will likely lose their religion over time.

I don't care about getting the year right, it's that other anon that cared about the specific date. My point is that it's bound to happen at some point given the way things are going. It may be sooner or later, but it is inevitable save for some great conflict that intervenes.
>>7493018
>My point is that it's bound to happen at some point given the way things are going.
Yeah, you keep saying that and you keep getting evasive when someone asks you like, why you think that.
>>7493018
the original question was about Muslims and now you're talking about non-white Europeans.
>it is inevitable save for some great conflict that intervenes.
You mean a race war?
>>7493037
Because of official birthrates and immigration numbers, are you retarded?
>>7493037
Because people with non-Western values reproduce more than people with Western values, and a lot of people with Western values think people with non-Western values should be able to live and reproduce in Western countries as long as they aren't actively blowing things up.
Isn't that obvious?
>>7493059
>he original question was about Muslims and now you're talking about non-white Europeans.
I was specifically asked about non-natives by that other anon.
>You mean a race war?
More like an ideology war.

>>7493064
why are you saying it's the west vs the rest when it comes to reproduction rates? it depends so much per country that it's just a stupid statement to make
Are those rabbit ears
>>7485450
Probably shaking uncontrollably as this is common for soldiers about to land somewhere.
>>7493168
I'm referring to reproduction rates within European countries themselves. If you look at Europe as a whole, non-Muslims have below replacement fertility birthrates and Muslims do not. So you can conclude that in Europe people with Western values are being outfucked by people with non-Western values.

Seldom to my more caustic believe of self-worth, my divided hope drives out of the range of suicide and into the light of productivity. I don't enjoy this drive; these ambitions are not my own.
Most of who I know do not enjoy abstraction, and those who do are dead... and I read their work to make up for my lack social reticulum.
One plus one equals oneone. Two plus two equals five equals 1984. Fuck me in the knickers, your mum said with a snicker 'fore I slipped my snickers 'tween her slick dick tickler.
What the Donald, Fuck Trump–who care's about his caricatured media escapades? He's just an animated Macy's day parade float, strings cut, terrorizing small 'townsfolk' in Soho NYC, yah sea?
But that's just fowl wordplay–my Southern drawl drags all syllabic spicks pick eses and meses and tesseracted, redacted, enacted infamous amo cookies gurgled chewy chewbacca wookie snooky old jersy bookies begging with bats for bets begotten smacks and ax. Wut.
A maelstrom of tenuously connected ramblings swept across my neuroses-toiled brain like a war-torn tornado over Dorothy's downtrodden no-place-like-what in Kansas (which, when scaled down, is flatter than an elementary school desk. Just ask scientists.)
I just want some people to like me.
Lol. Jk. I'm very good at getting people to like me.
"I already don't like you." I hear you think. Which is to say that I've contrived (contrived?) this post for that exact reason. Or maybe I'm just adopting a reflexive irony like a girl with polio, or Brangelina's multicultural children. "What does that have to do with anything" is a silly question because the predicate could literally be anything, which entails everything, from here–wherever you are, mon ami–to a blank stare, a thousand yards due east.
That reminds me: there is no such thing as maturity. There are only socially acceptable ways of acting yourself, be they Trumpian, Swiftian, Buckleyesque (don't immanentize the eschaton, whatever you do ole' Mid-Atlantic chap), or Kellerian. Clap and sound out the words:
Stop.
Drop.
And roll (like lieutenant Dan, who was a shit human being (fictitiously, ofc)).
Bitch I'm faded.
It seems that Bell's Inequality theorem holds water, and given that quantum theory correctly predicts the results while several assumptions like to the absurdity of the theorem, we have to relinquish at least one of them.
We assumed that Logic is valid, the "reality of parameters independent of measurement," and Locality. We also implicitly relied on the the second assumption in the logical derivation of the theorem.
I'm probably most comfortable with given up all three, actually. Never sat well with me, our fetishisation of actuality. Given the easy with which *I* can think otherwise in general gives me the feeling that the apparent actuality of experience in general (ie, measurement, in the this specific example) is just an illusion of reality. Possibilities are more real to me, on balance.
Locality I feel is implicitly tied up with the second assumption. Existence implies locality to me.
And obviously, any non-multivalue logic has got to be inadequate for "properly reasoning about reality" given my rejection of the other two assumptions. The law of non-contradiction is tied up with the "either/or" of "the existence of determinate parameters."

I'm tired of listening to all this gibbering. My ass hurts. I probably shouldn't have taken that Adderall. I hate flying. Don't look at me! I should have taken xanax instead. I don't know how to say headphones in beaner. It's only been 40 minutes. I just want to time travel. Is this the real life? Correct. Who the fuck does this? I don't keep a diary. Goddamn koala nuts. I wonder how many people are watching me right now? You smell like mildew. I hate mildew! You filthy animals must find that culturally acceptable, there's no other explanation for how widespread it is. I could probably go get some xanax now. Fucking adderall though! My memory is worse than my attention span. I could just leave and start a new life here. Taxi driver? No no I could be a waitress. I hate people though. My imagination isn't working yet. There's got to be something I could do here. I don't want to learn Spanish. I'm going home. Drug dog! You don't scare me. He doesn't even look potty trained. Balls are huge. Hmm you look serious though. Of all the things to worry about, you choose drugs. It's all that Catholic guilt, I'm sure. I'm glad that kid stole his hat too. Dumb asshole. I don't even care what he was crying about. Shameful behavior. No go away. That smells terrible, no wonder you're so fat. Good good yes drink all that sugar. Oh jesus christ! If I'm stuck next to that screaming child...I'm going to have no recourse. This is my life? I don't know what I'm doing. Shut the fuck up! Great now I'm sweating. Why is it always my left armpit? Either I'm missing a few pores or it's cancer. That weirdo who tried to convince me to use clay....I probably should have listened to more of his babbling but his tribal tattoos and yoga comments turned my brain off. Eh maybe in another life. I can't sink too much time into every weirdo who wants to talk to me. That Swedish girl was curious though. I preferred her personality more after 5 beers. Airport hookers? I'm not going to the restroom for that! Gross. Now I have to pee. You have no business wearing pantaloons that tight. How am I the only person staring? I'm not a pervert. You freaks must be used to this. No sense of propriety evidently. My right armpit is still dry. Cover your mouth, you animal. Dude is writing in a diary. I'm typing this nonsense as you're writing god knows what. Oh sweet irony. I don't like this place. Whoever designed this chair should be euthanized. I should probably take another adderall. Maybe I can find a book to read. I like books. No one is looking at me. That's good good, mind your own business. I don't know why he keeps texting me photos of feral pigs having sex. He's lost his mind. I like bacon but that's just gross man. I dunno. Who eats cup of noodles? Hot dogs and cup of noodles. You have to have a grudge against your mouth and your butthole, and that's in normal, non, "I'm not sitting on a plane for 7 hours", scenario. Pigeon dicks, mostly.

When I listen to this song its just so repetitive. Its so one dimensional. Its rap jazz without the rap. Its silly. Its inane. But it's so moving. Why should this song stir such emotion? Why should I be on the verge of tears? Why am I feeling such empty nostalgia? There isn't even a memory its attached to. Its like the song puts the feeling of my entire 24 years of existence into one simple repeating melody of 5 layers. I just don't get it. Fuck these feels. I want to do something great, but it feels as if those great moments have already passed and I don't even know that they happened. I'm gonna go get some chips and salsa.

a sort of general non-literature thread where you can shoot the shit with people of /lit/ like this is beneficial to the board, I think.
every board should have one off topic general where you can talk about things other than the topic when you still want to talk with the same demographic, because a lot of people want to discuss certain non-/lit/ things with /lit/ rather than with /b/ or /r9k/ or /pol/ or whatever.
This jobs pretty sweet, at the same time it kinda sucks. That girl that came in is pretty cute. I think she's been here before, fuck it. I'm tired. My eyes feel blood shot. This coffee will probably crash me hard later on but for the moment it's working I think. I hated when it was too warm but now it's kinda cold and it bothers me even more. I will probably by another one before going to work again in like 2 hours when I get off this other job. Fuck my life
Fuck captcha
>>7495459
this type of thread isn't something new, senpai.
It's just people didn't want to create one after /his/ got created because of newfags coming to /lit/ and redirecting even slightly unrelated threads to other boards and shitting them up.
Now they've calmed down a little so these threads can be created again but yeah I do agree with that sentiment.
>>7495469
I know it's not new, but sometimes they lead to 'persecution' and it would be comfier if we just had one destination for it so that people don't have to risk getting banned for wanting to go off topic for a bit.

Time withers on; you tell me to wait
But I am scared of waiting longer.
I am scared of the loneliness which creeps
into my soul, drips and seeps
into the hole which now comprises my chest.
Would it have been best?
To just not have bothered with the matter at all?
To curl up into a ball,
for I am not Lazarus, and no, I have not come to tell you all,
Like the rest of you, I have come to meet my fall
With some sense of satisfaction
How peaceful it would be to let the world pass me by!
And draw a sigh,
Breathing out this sense of satisfaction and calm
Intermingled with that little bit of helplessness
If only I could head into the cold to get to my home
But I can't help and look back and feel alone
I legit cant force myself to read let alone like Dune. i'm like 120 pages in, do i keep going?
>>7485450
I should have been a soldier on Omaha Beach,
Jingoistic and armed to the teeth,
Ready to die for America, the land I love,
Ready to protect any of this for the big man above-
But was it really meant to be?
Here I am, talking to a man online
God would laugh at us from smoke in suspended skeins
As would anyone with a proper moral upbringing.
What I would do to get rid of this feeling!
Arsthmatic pathetic little worm in my guts
Making me steal breaths from those better than me
The spotlight is on me and I can feel the
Heat, crushing, killing, blunting me
Slowly, I do not care, I do not care
Their opinions do not matter
But when my thoughts are all spattered
What can I do but stare
Like a deer in the headlights, waiting for the the truck.

Storming onto the beach with the sensational push that one is about to die for king and country is a feeling that very few men will ever have the privilege of experiencing in their lifetime. Yet nothing can compare to these hopes and dreams coming to a stop with a single bullet penetrating the torso of everything that pushes a man, a soldier, to march onward. For I could not go on, my body collapsed onto the wet sands of a dreary Europe, dead. My lifeless corpse left to rot into the seashore, had a forever imprinted smile with the realization that my spirit had achieved eternal peace.
Pussy.
“Buy a computer?” “Sure, we got a couple of little ones, Apples, on Dallas. Cost you about, oh, two thousand for a nice system. That’s a lot less than what a car goes for.” “A computer for two thousand dollars?” Bugayev went from wishful to suspicious, certain that Jones was leading him on. “Or less. For three grand you can get a really nice rig. Hell, you tell Apple who you are, and they’ll probably give it to you for free, or the navy will. If you don’t want an Apple, there’s the Commodore, TRS-80, Atari. All kinds. Depends on what you want to use it for. Look, just one company, Apple, has sold over a million of ’em. They’re little, sure, but they’re real computers.”

The private first class standing next to me on the landing craft was smiling the whole way to the German shoreline. He had an honest, happy smile. Even when we were being splashed by the water from the mortar shells and the bullets cracked in our ears, he smiled eerily. I looked him over and to me he looked no older than twenty. His face, pale and unassuming, had not changed its expression since I first saw him on the carrier. The rolled up sleeve of his uniform revealed the royal flag stamped on his skin.
"For King and Country," he muttered under his breath, and right then we spilled onto the beach. After advancing a couple of hundred yards a bullet from one of the machine guns hit him straight in the chest and he went down like a sack of meat. The shooting stopped abruptly. I hadn’t been the only one watching loyally. The whole infantry battalion, it seemed, had their eyes fixed on him.
After a moment we could see the Germans running out of their bunkers, and without firing a single shot, or being fired at by any of our lads, they skipped over the bodies littering the beach and ran towards the smiling corpse.
When they finally got to where it was they threw down their weapons in the sand and surrounded the body of the private. There was no protest from his fellow as his clothes were ripped off.The Germans sunk their teeth into his limbs, bit off chunks of flesh and then swallowed them greedily. The allied soldiers, themselves overcome with intense hunger, joined in ripping at his face and skin. Soon nothing but bones remained, and the smile was gone. The Major finally came and told us to stop, for he intended to send the poor boy back to England, so that the king and the royal family may at least snap the bones and suck on the marrow. The Germans took up their weapons and promptly returned to their bunkers. We too, took up our positions, and when everyone was in place, began to fight again.

should've pulled out breh
Getting frustrated and worried about the relationship people in my generation (born 1994) have with societal rules and the effect that it has on their psychologies.
For an example, I took two visiting friends to a party the other day. It was, I would say, a two minute drive from my house. I get to the party, play a little bit of slap cup (where I drink my one half-beer of the night) and then my two friends indicate to me that they don't really feel like hanging out with these people they don't know--which is totally fair. So I, knowing that they're sort of prudish, tell my friend Julia that she can drive my car home, since I had half of a beer. It's dark out and she completely fails to back up out of the driveway. I awkwardly and politely as possible ask to drive the car to at least the end of the driveway, since she wasn't familiar with it. I easily back up through the curves and, when I get to the end, turn to them and say something along the lines of "it's raining, I've only had half of a beer, and I feel perfectly fine to drive home," and then I drove the 2 minutes to my house. The two acted really strange and reserved around me for the rest of the day. Later, when I asked the guy friend whether they were mad at me, he responds "No, dude, we're not mad at you. You just shouldn't have done it."
That makes me furious. He isn't mad, but I "shouldn't have done it?" It would have been more reasonable if they WERE mad, because that's at least personal conviction. But I "shouldn't have done it???" According to what? According to whom?
Instead of instilling in people the healthy idea that to drive while drunk is unsafe and shouldn't be done, it seems like the campaign's consistently all-or-nothing rhetoric has convinced young people that it's sinful to even ever touch a wheel the same day that you've drunk something. Instead of learning a good moral to be weighed against when judging personal decisions, they've given themselves up to a rule without exception.
The same idea is true of seatbelt-buckling campaigns (although the example doesn't work as smoothly since it's pretty much always a good idea to wear one). I don't think many millenials that I've met could begin driving without buckling even if they tried. Idk why this bothers me, or whether it's even a worthwhile thought, but it makes me sad to see young people that don't realize that taking thoughtful exception to societal rules is a part of being an individual
>>7497042
they don't really sound like friends.
If they cause unnecessary stress like this you may as well drop them 2bh.
>>7497042
Literally half a beer? Top lel.
Is it true that that drinking daily is looked upon as alcoholism even if you just have a glass of wine with dinner over there?
>>7497042
This. Recently started attending art school, most of the artists, even ones who have decent grips on technique, just follow whatever people say in their critique. Their work ends up not really being their own, and not being what they wanted it to be. Millenials suck up to authority and take criticism far too seriously. The fact is, some people criticizing them have no idea what they're talking about and the rest don't really share them inspiration/experience/vision. I'm starting to doubt most of my peers capacity for independent thought. It was even worse in high school though.
>>7497127
No, not really. Getting drunk or tipsy morning/afternoon everyday would be considered alcoholism
>>7497580
Getting drunk every night wouldn't?
>>7497042
>>7497580
I'm curious what grounds you guys have for attributing this to some unique characteristic of the cohort. I mean, I'll happily concede that like 40 years ago, nobody would have said a word about driving on a good bit more than half a beer. In fact, avoiding driving on half a beer could well have been seen as weak or effeminate or suchlike.
And with the art school thing, I wonder again what basis you have for supposing it was different back in the day. Maybe most people have always been somewhat weak-willed. It doesn't seem prima-facie implausible to me.
Young men in England were shamed in droves into enlisting during WWI by women brandishing white feathers at them (essentially calling them chickens, lol). That's pretty hardcore receptiveness to criticism, if you ask me. And over far bigger a deal than what you're doing on some painting, and also apt to endanger your life, rather than notionally protect you.
tl;dr I'm always suspicious of "These days" stuff.

>>7497714
Yeah, WWI is pretty good for straight-up horrifying stuff like that. They had a scheme that would let you sign up with all your pals, so there'd be entire villages where half the young men all died the same morning. I look at shit like that and I'm fine with eg trigger warnings etc. Could be a whole lot worse.
