>trap porn started getting popular on imageboards in like 2012
Traps were a popular topic on /b/ dating back to like 2006-2007. 4chan was the first place I ever saw futanari hentai and that was in like 2006. Do you not remember the ackbar "it's a trap" meme and the "everyone is gay for Bridget" meme from like 15 years ago? Not to mention the "I wish to be the little succubus" meme from the same era? The "dead internet theory" OP post touched on this.

>>261960
>futanari
>it's a trap
Futas are not traps and the "it's a trap" game was like shemale pics with the bottoms cut off tricking anons into jacking off to them. And there wasn't much trap doujinshi until the end of the 00s when it started taking off.

>"everyone is gay for Bridget"
Yeah I remember.
>I wish to be the little succubus
I remember that as well but that was tongue in cheek to a certain extent.
>inb4 linetrap
Yeah I remember that as well. But like linetrap was a novelty, anons were still jerking off all the female attention whores that used to exist like cracky-chan. At some point the female attention whores dropped off the boards, and dudes in dresses filled the gap and anons gave up on female camwhores and started worshipping traps. AND white-knighting them. That's what set off an alarm in my head, cos whenever there was a female anon thread there was the unwritten rule of no white-knighting them and berating those who did. There was/is almost constant defence of cross-dressers though. You can be racist or misogynistic but God help you if you're "transphobic" cos then the tranny defence league jumps into action on 4chan.

Most of the "gay" shit back then was futa hentai (mostly with vaginas and some without) and a couple of shemale threads on /b/, pure jackoff material.

Not this shit with bizarre ideological slants to them, where they're encouraging each other to alter their body chemistry to (try to) look like succubi and call each other different pronouns to their actual one, white-knighting them and preying on dumb young anons with porn addictions to fulfil dumb, literally unobtainable, anime fantasies to make more dudes in dress pumped with hormones or preying on young dumb anons making them betas giving money to traps.

Not to mention how it's fucked up many porn/hentai boards where you have to state female-only otherwise they start filling up with trap porn. It even happens on sfw boards like not too long ago there was some no muscle trap on /fit/ giving powerlifting advice and those threads were popular.

Zoomer anons have given up on succubi (at strange ages) not to become wizards but to become succubi themselves.

Addendum: This is part which may be bannable but zoomers have given up on succubi not to become wizards but because dudes in dresses are easier to talk to and zoomers have made an insane compromise.

>>261962
It's because everything is stacked against them. succubi don't need them, society doesn't need them, their only sexual purpose is pleasure. It's why onlyfans is huge, why homosex is extremely common, why transexualism is taking off. Because the only purpose relationships have in the modern day is either friends or sexual pleasure. There is no reason for them to go on dates with a succubus and risk rejection and pay for the meal etc. when they can go on grinder and fuck a dude in the ass and then leave the next morning. Same for succubi, they can just go on tinder and fuck a stranger. And succubi don't need men to provide for them in the traditional sense. They don't need a husband because they can just set up an onlyfans or stream and make more than enough to support themselves. There is literally nothing a succubus provides today that a man does not, so why bother?

What I hate though is all this homo and trans shit. I could tolerate the homosex at first because fine, you wanna fuck a dude I can't stop you. But they keep pushing it, and now being gay isn't a big deal, now you have to be a transexual. And furthermore they demand that everyone else be one too. But I'm fine with being me, I don't need to be a succubus, or a fag, or something else. But they insist that everyone needs to be something else. It's sickening.

As someone who is on the older side of zoomer (at least I think, I don't really know the age ranges of this shit) I definitely think this is partially what set me up to be a wizard. It was too early for the tranny shit to infect me, but I just have no desire to interact with succubi and all my sexual needs are taken care of just fine by myself. So what fucking use do I have for a succubus? Nothing. Not as sexual partner, not as a life partner, not even as a friend.

>>261961
Holocaust of zoomers needs to become a doctrine.

>>261968
No don't you see, absolute poverty is impossible in the US. It's not like thousands of homeless people die here every year. You should put your faith in the MSM, they said everything is fine.

White privilege deniers are so low iq. Probably that's why they're unable to take advantage of it.

>>261970
white privilege doesn't exist.

The correct term(s) would be being broke and or a lack of social mobility. One is a financial issue of the individual or family the other is a more general societal distribution of money.

>>261970
You know I've seen plenty of non-whites who are more privileged than I'll ever be. They have careers, a nice car, live in the burbs, etc.

>>261939
This demonstrates that these people have dreams of policing and controlling your very thoughts. Do you really want to give them power over you? 1984 was like a manifesto to these megalomaniacs.

Whenever Trump complained that it is open to fraud, Bezos’ Washington Post screeched, ‘President Trump has peddled false claims or imaginary threats about voting by mail’. Three days after Trump’s removal, Amazon (owned by the very same Bezos) rejected mail-in voting for its unionising employees as the mail-in vote is notoriously unreliable. “We believe that the best approach to a valid, fair and successful election is one that is conducted manually, in-person, making it easy to verify”, said Amazon. The mail-in vote for the Presidency was a must because of the pandemic, but there is no outbreak when Amazon employees try to join a trade union.

Oh my G*d this is literally worse than shoah. Will someone please think of the billionaires? Shocking, disturbing. You know who believes in allowing frivolous private initiative and free enterprise for the unwashed masses? That's right, it's white supremacist nazi traitor insurrectionists. The government must clamp down on this anti-American domestic terrorism.

I'm kinda mad it wasn't channer scum that did this. To think anons would be completely outdone by filthy plebbitors, these are truly the end times.

>>261966
Nice fake article, faggot.

>>261967
Is it? So what? I saw the 'experts' posting the same opinions and trading apps were blocked for the plebeians to stop them from ruining the billionaires fun, so. The 'fake' article turns out to be more real than a real one.

>>261917
Alright thank you.
>So if you haven't already, sell.
I don't have the money nor the intelligence to invest in the stock market, I was just curious because everybody is talking about it.

>>261917
Wish I could into finance, maybe I could make a few bucks, but I'm so stupid.

>>261920
>>261921
It's not that hard, especially when the market is nice. Don't play short or options games. Just look at company fundamentals, financials, history, and leadership and invest accordingly. Don't get conned into get rich quick technical analysis voodoo or day trading. That is essentially gambling unless you have the capital to move the market by yourself with obscene volume. Also, it absorbs your life and can cause huge stress for those who aren't lizard psychopaths. Invest based on fundamentals over medium or long term, that is, weeks, months, or years and set loss limits and sell targets and stick by them UNLESS major news changes the flavor of the pond.

>>261914
I really don't feel like getting banned again and there are already a fuck load of videos and articles explain it both simply and in detail.

There is no reason to spoon feed you this info when a quick search on your own will explain everything better.

Very strange time

you found another skin :(

me

How can I not be homeless on disability? I only get $9480 per year, but it doesn't seem possible to survive on this amount. I feel like living on the streets is inevitable.

>Anything else here seem out of wack?
I think it's way expensive. I mean according to Wikipedia 60% of Americans earn less than 50k and the average income is like 65k. Only 15% of people earn more than 100k.

Here in Europe you can live with less than 1000€/month (in a 2nd/3rd tier city or the countryside, obviously not in places like Oslo/Paris/Rome etc).

400€ rent
100€ food
50€ internet
150€ water/gas/electricity
300€ extra (vidya/medical/clothes/pc/etc)

Healthcare is free and that's a big help.
Car? Public transportation is usually pretty good so you don't really need a car. Get an electric scooter or bike for short distances, take the bus for medium-long distances, and for really long distances you can call a Uber or some equivalent service. A combination of these three options is still way cheaper than a car. That's what I do.
Phone? You could avoid a smartphone completely, but to be honest you really need one nowadays, for example to use a bank account (I think you need to use an authentication token app by law now) or use gubimnt websites to get certificates, ask for netbux, etc. Get a used one for 80-100€ or a new Xiaomi Redmi for 130€.

You can live with even less than that actually, if you accept to compromise on certain things. For example you could live in a shitty neighborhood away from the city center, or live with roommates, and that can lower the rent to like 250/300€.
You can eat mostly rice/pasta, homemade chili, beans, cheap cuts, tuna, and spend 50/60€ on food.
You can avoid paying for broadband and just get a data plan for your phone, which should cost at least 50% less but with more restrictions (data caps).

Rent where I live in a 1 mil town isn't nearly that crazy, I wonder what place would be that high and if you couldn't just find a cheaper place.

Also I think you could do cheaper than 40 for daily food, true if you get takeaway or eat a lot or something it could cost that much.

Is it really necessary to go to a dentist 4 times a year? I go twice a year. And its cheaper since our country's healthcare but I don't know what its like say in burgerland.

You don't need a new phone every year, mine usually last at least 4 years. Same with car and glasses.

2500 is a lot for a PC, maybe for the best of the best but why would you need that, but once you get it hopefully it lasts at least 4 years.

Is it normal to replace tires once a year? I dunno I don't drive, maybe my parents do it once every 2 years or not even if they don't drive much.

My brother's wife makes $300,000 a year, yet they only have $40,000 in savings.

>>261814
Since that number comes out to almost exactly what SSI pays in a year, I'll take it you live in the US.

>Rent
Are you willing to live anywhere in the US, potentially far away from where you are now? Are you willing to live with a roommate? If you answered no to both, you're probably fucked, but if you're willing to move to a cheaper state there are plenty of states where you can rent a 1br apartment for $550 including utilities, just not in a major city. And if you're willing to live with a roommate you can rent a room for around that much or cheaper without too much trouble.

>Transportation
Don't get a car and if you have one, sell it. Instead, make sure you live walking distance from at least one supermarket. This might be difficult since I'm suggesting moving to a small town in a cheap state, but it's doable. Even if you need to get a Lyft to the store during the months where it's too cold to walk much outside it will still be cheaper than owning a car since car insurance is $50 a month just for minimum coverage and then factor in not only gas but maintenance. Just make sure you stock up enough to last you 2 weeks if you're getting a Lyft to the store to make it worth it.

>Internet
$60 a month, you will need this to keep sane.

>Clothes
Wear them until they're ripped. Shoes you'll need to buy a pair every year with all the walking you'll be doing, get a cheap pair of boots.

>Food
Never eat out, not even fast food. Buy cheap high carb/fat, calorie dense foods like ramen noodles, oatmeal, peanut butter etc. Buy the cheap off brands. Drink water only. Buy flour, salt, yeast, butter and make bread a lot. It's an unhealthy diet but nobody said it would be easy. Utilize food pantries if you live close enough to one.

>laundry
Your apartment might not have a washing machine or there might be one you have to pay to use. If either is the case, just wash your clothes in the tub and let them air dry. A small amount of the cheap powdered detergent can go a long way if you're just trying to eliminate odors and not tough stains.

Nietzsche's thought is a refutation of Kant. If the categorical imperative is unknowable but a necessity for objective morality, the simple question is what obligation something unknown could demand of anyone. In Acts 17:22-23 Paul makes the same argument to the Epicureans and Stoics in Athens after passing by an altar to an unknowable gnostic god. It's an old problem.

Note I'm not arguing for this position, I don't believe any of the answers in >>261778 fully address the question of why we should act righteously.

>>261749
I care very much about it. My interest towards it actually comes from my interest and practice of the religious idea of compassion, but I'll not talk about religion on an ib.
>in 2021, the year of our lord, why should i do the right thing?
It's actually amazing you started at such a high place, wizzie. Many people today would try to argue instead that there is no 'right' thing to do.
>when i try to keep my word or follow universal moral laws i am branded as a "simp" or "cuck" or "neckbeard".
Heh, you're right. This is not only a contemporary problem, however. Being ethical, honorable, compassive and all that good stuff puts you in an disadvantage, and can be even dangerous. You can find countless examples in history across all religions and philosophies, of people who suffered for doing the right thing, in fact, there's no shortage of people who died horribly for doing so.

If so then why should you do it? If you're not religious and you don't believe in a higher power to frighten or reward you into being ethical, then it must be immanent. It's a very complex process, at least it is for me. It involves an equal degree of detachment (knowing being ethical will not give you any rewards, no appreciation, in fact, don't expect a single good thing about) and compassion (knowing all sentient beings are the constant prey of suffering, both self-inflicted and caused by others and you don't want to be cause of more harm towards them). Once you figure the right balance between those two things, you'll know where to stand. It will be very clear actually.

I might also ad that figuring this stuff out has a sort of liberating effect. You're free from both the expectation of a reward and the fear of being stepped on or ridiculed. You're who you are and the world is how it is and you come to accept it with liberating asurance.

Anyway I wish you good luck trying to solving this problem within yourself. It's no small task.

Failing morality, at least with ethics you have consistency in being true to yourself. It's something you can depend upon in an uncertain world.

>>261753
This, absolutely.

>>261798
NTA who you replied to but felt I may share the following.
My personal tribulations have made my sense of morality steadfast- the suffering I experienced only honed my sense of right and wrong.
I think that we have two chocies as wizzies we can either turn bitter or become compassionate.

I do disagree though regarding no reward for being compassionate because I am aware that once we have constructed a structure that dictates what we ought to do then diverging from it will only cause ourselves self inflicted wounds of the psyche.
We are always self serving and only ever do that which is in our own interests but of course these interests do not always truly align with our own in actuality it is the perception that they do which leads us to make mistakes.

I did it. After over a decade, I am finally permabanned from 4chan.org. I only had to break rule 1 and then send youtube videos in my appeals twice to achieve this. You can still appeal a permaban it would seem.

>>261945
whenever I used a vpn and the ip would be banned because tor/vpn I'd insult the mods with text walls in the appeal box and the ips would get permabanned in seconds

Aren't the biggest reason for the range bans is the attempt by the site to get users to buy the 4chan gold account?

>>261954
>paying to post
I've never been to 4chan but now it sounds shittier than ever

>>261954
No it is the only way the mods can handle blatant rule breakers. Yo ucan still evade easily but most people do not have access to superproxy accounts and after a range ban will stop avatarfagging or whatever it is they did to get banned so many times.
The mods are faggots though and will ban for personal reasons whilst ignoring those who break rules that they like.

I had a dream about THAT game. It's a game based on the game Warcraft 3 in which there's a hill. This time though, it's a small hill that requires skill traveling up. It has small platforms that span across the whole mountain which usually isn't the case. The "purpose" of this game is to get gear to equip your hero with that changes your hero into a special hero with different abilities. Think a bow for an archer hero that has archer-related abilities. On top of the mountain is equipment that changes your hero into a fist fighter hero. I was the first one up there, but let an Warcraft 3 friend (friends list) take it. We were the type to conspire and cause havoc on this game. It was more of a Fantasy Life game if that's familiar to you. If not, Fantasy Life is a game similar in concept, but there is no mountain but a small world that you're supposed to live in as roleplay. This would have been a long time ago since I don't play that game any more. Google Fantasy Life Warcraft 3 for more context. Also, the equipment is like Fantasy Life in which it's only one item you click with your hero to change it.


The entire game was quite simple. A few people were playing. I go up onto the mountain, my WC3 friend goes up too. I let him have the equipment. I go down in the middle, it rains, and another player is with me in the rain. We are in the middle of the mid bottom of the mountain. Most likely, there's one or two other players walking/jumping around. You cannot actually jump in WC3 but that's just how my dream was. I probably go back up again and for some reason there's a nether portal in the middle of the top of the mountain. I go in and my I don't see those people again in my dream. The nether portal is never there in my other "mountain dream games".

I arrive in hell where there are sirens. I won't go into much more detail. One attacks me, I strangle it. The other one does, bites my arm, I strangle it. I did this because I wanted to. I go up some stairs? I see some demons who are quite human like. I punch one in the face, it says "ow!" and seems quite human like so I apologize. I do this a few more times with other different demons after socializing with the demons. I tell them what I've come here to do and tells me where I need to go. I follow another demon, a janitor, up on pipes and other common janitorial things in a parkour-like setting. We're pretty high up and there's probably solid ground only below up. The pipes are probably suspePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I had quite a few dreams last night, but the one that sticks most in my head involved me being near a church. A Nun took me inside to read some text or an organ and said "Those who have been abandoned by God are unable to read this." I started to read it and it looked liek complete gibberish to me. I said "This looks like nothing to me." She told me I was a child of Satan and I was banished from the place. I started crying and left the building. I remember waking up in a sleep paralysis state thinking that I was a child of hate and all love has abandoned me. I am not even religious.

I used to when I was bored in school. Now when I spend time imagining scenarios or whatever it's in the context of a story I want to write.

>>261823
I have talked to actual professionals on the subject and most think that maladaptive daydreaming is actually just a form of dissociation that is a symptom of other disorders and not a disorder in of it's self.
It is the reason it wasn't included in the latest DSM.

Yeah I like to read books maybe 10 pages at a time and for a few moments think about the scenarios and ideas in the book. I'm not so good at imagining I'm part of the story yet, but I want to learn how to read novels and reimagine them in my daydreams. Right now I can only do this for about 30 minutes at a time but I'm training myself to daydream even longer. Novels are a good way to start, I've also started drawing in the hopes I can create these places I can imagine myself getting lost in.

>>259850
Yep I used to just sit on the porch daydreaming living a vigilante/superhero lifestyle for hours at a time while listening to music. Was pretty fun.

Occasionally when I'm doing work and listening to music. I'd have ideas for stories and scenes. Some are so dramatic and moving I'll even start to cry right there. Now that I don't have an employer over my shoulder I can take time to write them down, but most of the time I get so overloaded with work I end up having to throw it on the back burner and forget about it because the task at hand is important to my lively hood. Part of its more of an editing mechanism though, if I can't remember it the story was probably not worth writing down. There are some good dialogue scenes I thought of while waiting in traffic one time, but specific dialogue is hard to remember.

I can see now the server problems people are complaining about. This will be the last time I try to post this thought
