  • Why is Midwest Emo a genre? Shouldn't it just be emo music, why the need to specify where it came from? And why do music people find the need to classify and categorise music to such detail, with their 'post' this, 'progressive' that and whatever-'cores'? I feel like an old man whenever I see some video about the rise and fall of incelcore or whatever

    I can't believe the beloved children's character Sonic the Hedgehog is an enemy of feminists. No wonder kids nowadays love Andrew Tate
    Re-reading Hellsing and suddenly Alucard is hot to me. I might actually have a thing for vampires. First Kizumonogatari Araragi, now this, next thing I'll read Twilight and actually like it

    I can't believe the Count is real

    Does he love to #### in real life too?
    'Your Majesty,' does his gay little jump 'dissolve Parliament.' Starts trembling, barely able to control his tears 'Britain is falling and even Farage is starting to turn on me. Parliament must go.' Starts sputtering out tears 'I beg you, your Majesty, save Britain. Only the return to absolutism can fix this country. Your Majesty- Your Majesty please listen to me!'

    He's either the most successful since Murdoch if the backroom, or the most retarded if he decided to go public with his policy to basically rule America via Trump as proxy and to actually just [Great] Replace[ment] American workers with Indians, depending on how much power Schwab and Soros actually hold with those they try and make deals with or fund. If they are actually the shadowy puppet masters people think they are, then Musk was a complete idiot for not just doing it - considering he's the richest man on Earth last I checked.
    Hopefully, the general public realises that it's the employers and business owners in general and not just the 'unpatriotic', '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Marxist''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''', 'Liberal' or 'Jewish' ones who want to massively import immigrants to replace them as workers, not because of some hatred for white people or anything but just because immigrants will be cheaper. But these are the same people who thought the Tories were actually serious about their immigration policies despite it reaching record highs, so I'll hold my breath.
    I've never understood why so much of the internet seems to have this seething hatred for nihilists and come up with all these elaborate psychoanalysis of them as secretly depressed, addicted to something (usually porn or consumption) or otherwise "broken". Doesn't nihilism just mean you don't believe that there is a meaning/point to life? Maybe I'm wrong here about what nihilists believe, but how does believing something has no inherent meaning mean that you hate it, think it is awful or are depressed? Isn't a neutral statement about a lack of a pre-defined meaning to life? Aren't any of those "I make my own meaning" types also nihilists because they acknowledge any meaning is one they invent rather than being inherent?
    The more I see it, the more I wonder if people are just salty they weren't able to prove meaning to some nihilist or they met one insufferable nihilist and blamed the entire philosophy for them being an ass.

    >So... the approach of a normal man would be "I don't want to spend my energy on anyone but me"? Sounds selfish as fuck.

    Pretty much. 80% of people will always put self first before other people. It's not malice, more so that most people have to actively work against the self centered nature of man and normies just go with the flow. Of course as you said being in the le rugged individualism society doesn't help at all, the sense for community isn't nurtured at all. If you've ever been depressed and had 10 friends, around 8 of them will always be more busy then usual, although that might be a blessing if you've ever heard any "advice" from a neurotypical. A lot of people just keep quiet because you just ironically enough end up more burdening yourself.

    To be fair on the normalfags depressed people are hard to deal with, i've been dealing with myself for over a decade so I know how it is. It's easier to shoo them away and ignore them. And they physically cannot comprehend the deep persistent sadness of depression let alone suicidal ideation, they're wired differently, aka normally. They wake up every day full of energy, ready to tackle the new day without ever considering doing anything that would actively harm them.

    Nihilists often get bundled with depressed people because they're often depressed themselves. The whole killing nihilists joke, while obviously a joke still reveals a bit about peoples true intentions, just like all jokes do.

    I think the big reason is that a bunch of kids learned about Nihilism in some entry level class (or a Youtube video, more likely), and acted smug and annoying about it. These kids would chime in with their "Um, actually, nothing matters at all" at really inappropriate times, without ever actually reading Nietzsche or any other Nihilist philosophers.

    I think the other reason is that Nihilism, if taken seriously, can be interpreted as a pretty big insult to most normal people. Nihilism states that no ethical statement is true. So, no statement of the form "___ is good/bad" or "one should/shouldn't do ___" is true. If taken seriously, that would include atrocious crimes like murder, as well as selfless acts, like saving an innocent life. If you tell someone that all of their ambitions and accomplishments are entirely meaningless, and that they are exactly as good of a person as a serial killer, of course they're going to be upset.
    I hate our fucking politics holy shit.
    Labour raises taxes and borrowing for funding of services -> They lose power relatively quickly in a following election because the public wanted more funding with less taxes -> Conservatives come in and cut taxes and borrowing in exchange for cuts on spending -> They remain in power for some time but eventually become despised by the public because they fell all the institutions are underfunded and they're afraid the country will fall apart leading to a crushing defeat -> Labour comes in with promises to raise spending -> the cycle repeats.
    This cycle has repeated since 1945 and I have no reason to believe it will stop anytime soon.
    Can the public just accept that higher spending's going to lead to higher taxes already? There was all this doom and gloom about everything being underfunded but now that Labour's raising taxes to pay for all that stuff the public wanted they're complaining about it. How did they think Labour was going to pay for all that?
    Either accept lower taxes with lower spending or higher taxes with higher spending - generally speaking, they tend to go together.
    But the public won't and next election the Conservatives will win and the cycle will repeat or Reform UK will and they'll just take the Conservative's place in the cycle.
    Turns out someone died in my student accomidation a couple of years ago and now one guy there wants to summon their ghosts with a Ouji board and another other guy started freaking out of the chance of this - started pulling up r-eddit threads about demonic posession and shit. It honestly felt kind of gross to see people talking about a real death of someone like that and trying to turn it into a kooky spooky thing. Reminded me of true crime content joking around with real murders and stuff

    I doubt it - the latter was Jehovah's Witness growing up and while not JW is still religious - their freakout was religiously motivated. The former maybe.

    I doubt the spirit of that person was even strong enough to persist this long there to even call upon it now. Besides that, spirits of your ordinary deceased rarely have anything worthwhile to say.
    I feel like playing Persona 1 on the PS1 having only beaten the PSP port if only for the different soundtrack and UI but I just can't stand the way Kaneko's art was coloured in it. When they recolour them in P2 it looks fine but something about it in the original looks off.


    Also the lack of any attractive male characters (something else P2 fixed)

    They don't make mad scientists like this anymore. They all have to have "tragic backstories" or "depth" nowadays. Long gone are the days of wacky fuckos who create the megaton killazillion-ray gun generator machine for no reason other than because they feel like it. Even Lex Luthor's been a businessman rather than a scientist (with on and off again stints as a supervillain) since the 1990s before I was even born.
    I was born in the wrong generation, if only I had lived in the 1940s or 1950s I could be evilly cackling as I rub my hands together in glee over my foul experiments.
