Your mention of self-memorialization reminds me of something I thought about a while back that I think is a good example. Let's take the song Old Time Rock & Roll by Bob Seger. Just listen to the lyrics if you've somehow never heard it.

Hearing it today, the song might make sense in some way, but this is a song that was released in 1979. So what "old time" music is he referring to in the song? Bob Seger was born in 1945, so I think it's safe to assume we're talking about music from the 1950s, which would also be a normal starting place for considering early rock and roll as a genre. Elvis's career began around 1954 so we'll just use that.

So we have a song released in 1979 about music from around 1954 or so, that's a 25 year difference. This would be similar to if someone wrote a song about Linkin Park or Eminem or some shit, calling them "old time" music from the "days of old" enjoyed only by "relics" (not an insult, but a brag about oneself), contrasted with the soulless music of today.

After I realized this, the Bob Seger song became completely absurd. It's like an extreme degree of self-fellation of your own generation. That's how it seems to me at least. Deliberately turning your childhood into a cultural "landmark" of sorts. Probably no one at the time thought anything of it since baby boomers are too far up their own asses, and later generations just incorporate it into the mythology of the sacred "boomer childhood" immortalized in many other depictions of the 50s, etc.

Take pic related as another example? "Where were you in '62?" asks the poster of a film released in 1973, only 11 years later. Where were you in 2014? I think current generations, even if they're fond of their own nostalgia, aren't anywhere near as shameless as this.

Tried to embed a Youtube video and post an image at the same time and it didn't work obviously. Here's the image I was referring to.

Yeah, it's clear to me that media being recorded in permanent forms is huge. It seems like most people think human civilization started in 1945 after WWII. I know that a lot of historians/social scientists would mark the end of WWII as a global realignment, with Pax Americana beginning. I think that people's reference for "life" beginning with the 1940s is way more strongly influenced by the fact that that is when things began being able to be recorded. It is kind of crazy how big of an anchor the 50s and 60s are in the collective imagination. They were just 2 decades in the span of time.

My sister isn't a boomer but she won't watch any movie that's not in color, instantly dismissing it as "it sucks" simply because it isn't in color.

>>318239
I grew up poor in the 90s and we had a black and white tv for several years, because that's what my dad could afford. I've had friends that turned up their nose about older movies I love like the longest day, because their narrow life experience can't accept black and white films. I put these people in the same basket as picky eaters that make faces when you eat things that they themselves don't like.

RUDE

>>317864
This can be a sign of childhood abuse too

>>317864
That's normal. It's called "thinking".

>>317885
Outloud I mean. Also I find it different from thinking

>>316108
if you even wonder whether you have an inner monologue or not, then you almost certainly don't, since its existence is evident for those of us who do have it.

>>317896
that's definitely uncommon, but i don't know what it means. what kind of things do you talk to yourself about?

>>317883
Probably not a good indicator for it. Sometimes it's genetic to talk to yourself.

>>318169
You think on such a peabrain scale.

No, we should shape the whole environment to our preferences and not give a shit that it kills billions of lesser creatures.
We should raise the animals we find tasty by the millions and mass slaughter them regularly for food.
We should utterly exterminate any creatures who aren't beneficial to humanity, starting with mosquitos.
We are beings modeled directly off of god. It's time we start acting like it.

>>318170
but all of this is for the purpose of satisfying human needs and wants
hurting other beings is just a side effect

in >>318168 you make it sound like hurting other beings is the main point

>>318174
That's better you were more interested in stawmaning something that wasn't said.

>>318175
>we should strive to be the very apex of hurting other living beings
doesn't it translate to
>we should deal out more pain than anything else
?

maybe they put up gigantic sails that funneled the naturally occuring sand storms so that the sand falls onto the stones in a certain angle. or maybe they put up stones against the sand storms that naturally smoothed, with the sandy wind acting as the sandpaper.

>People only care about money

i guess this is the root of it. if other economic models would be implemented and the entire shadow of the money would to collapse and with it the shackles it holds humanity bondage in, culture might be more durable.

i'd still want my stuff to be biodegradable though so that it just melts back into the planet after a few decades. i wanted to build stuff for me, not giving a fuck what was before me, future people wanna build stuff they need themselves based on their dreams. i wouldn't want my old garbage to inhibit what little creativity that wasn't beaten out of future generations, it would feel selfish to me.

if i wanted to have a nice place to skate to spend my life and there was a big area unused because it was some ancient theater that the vain people of today want to keep around even though the bones of the last people who went there have already decomposed, i'd feel disrespected. i am more important then the dead people.

I was looking at some tourist videos of Egypt. The Red Pyramid in Dashur looks really nice to visit.
The Giza plateau is where the Great Pyramid is, but it's insanely crowded, tons of plastic trash on the ground everywhere, and tons of people trying to sell stuff to tourists.
However in this video showing the Red Pyramid it looks very chill and cozy by comparison. It actually kind of looks like an ancient, deserted place.

>stonemason

the stonemason unfortunately can't tell you because it might be considered pebbleological misinformation and he could lose his job and his license to cut stones and if he were to cut stones withouth a license then he would be put in jail and i think you are an idiot for even suggesting.

>>314395
I cant specify exactly rn, but ancient humans did demolish things. For stone and metals and such, those used to be very valuable. The ruins that we do have preserved were not preserved intentionally but mostly due to some catastrophe causing people to leave the place abruptly or the economical downturn making people prioritize things other than self expression. Amongst unesco people they have a saying that poverty is the best preservative.

Yes, Jews have essentially total power and are accordingly preparing to satanically play their puppet slave-states against one another in a managed war scenario that is likely coming quite soon. March is also significantly a month full of frequently-used numerological symbolism, so we should be especially alert to any coming kosher treachery.

Remember March 11 is 3/11 is 33. Jews at the CDC declared the pandemic on 3/11/2020 (3 x 11 x 2020 = 66660).

3/11 was also the date on which HAARP was used to intimidate the Japanese into submission.

322 is a well-known number in the Judeo-satanic secret society of Skull and Bones at (((Yale University))). Here we find another pairing of a 3 with a multiple of 11. 322 signifies the return of the sun (roughly March 22nd), when that luminous body seasonally re-asserts himself. An important number in paganism.

Purim also begins on March 13 2025. The (((US))) first began bombing Iraq on March 20 2003 – a date which coincided with the start of that year's Purim festival.

Also pursuant to their wonted belligerent wiles, the flash point for a meaningfully deadly worldwide conflict will near certainly come in the form of a false flag (observe WW1 quickened by Lusitania false flag, WW2 quickened by Pearl Harbor false flag, Vietnam quickened by Gulf of Tonkin false flag, Iraq quickened by 9/11 false flag, etc.) There exists no reason to believe demonic jews will change their polemopoietic methods at such a late stage as this now sad enslaved time in which we live. Recall that (((CIA))) controls all major news media and they as a rule always lie; as such whatever will be dramatically broadcast on the mainstream jewish news media must be met with full skeptic distrust.

Remember wizards:

Russia is not Russian, it is Jewish.
Ukraine is not Ukrainian, it is Jewish.
China is not Chinese, it is Jewish.
Britain is not British, it is Jewish.
America is not American, it is Jewish.

I hope Trump uses the JFK files as a pretext to go DEFCON 3 on the deep state and he shuts down the CIA.

Feels so fucking good to own the libs yet again. Every day they get even more retarded as their brains melt from acute TDS.

Depending on how high your budget goes, some trains like the Orient Express have cabins that put the best Ritz Carltons and Waldorf Astorias to shame.

They were made by oldschool craftsmen in an era that valued true opulence.
If I ever had the money, I'd rather take a 3 day trip in one of these than spend a week in a fancy hotel.

>>317989
not the same guy but I also want to travel in the orient express and travel through northen europe to venice, but it costs a lot of money (>1000 bucks) and you must wear suits

>>317991
Japan also has one, the Kyushu Blue Moon. Even the dining area is something out of this world, something you wont even see in a super fancy hotel.

>>317992
Looks nice, unfortunately, America has nothing that compares. I was hoping that there was something closer, but it seems like I need to go to Europe or Japan.

>>317998
America had the famous Pullman railroad cars. I don't know if any of them are offered up as an experience today though.

this one good? theres too much model, I don't know what they do (⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

>>317127
I'mma be real with you bro, if you're not gonna take the time to learn what any of this does, you shouldn't be building a PC. It's really not that complicated to learn, but if you don't want to, it makes far more sense to just buy a prebuilt computer than to try and build one yourself.

>>317129
indeed

>>317129
I second prebuilds.
If you know the basics of what stuff should cost and what's good then you can find decent deals and builds that will do what you want in a reasonable budget range.
Sure you won't likely get the very best of the best price compared to buying each part individually but it's nowhere near as bad as it was 15+ years ago when buying a prebuild meant getting totally suckered on the price.

Is OP still around? I'd like to know how his machine turned out.

Hell On Earth Lore Guide

Demon Types

Red Devils, you know them already

Hellhounds which are lead by a pack leader hellhound with 3 heads known as a cerberus (only king James has Ever tamed an entire hellhound pack plus a cerberus)

some hellhounds can be tamed like dogs, they vary in how docile they can be but nomads and hunters often use domesticated

The lich King, commander of the undead and the forces of this other dimension

Blood Cows or Red Cows, a demonic and threatening looking red cow with orange eyes, looking threatening but harmless, they are often milked their milk is a slightly redish white shade and tastes like goats milk, this can be made into dairy products like cheese and also blood cows hides are used for leather, for building pouches, rucksacks, leather belts, slings for guns etc etc, even sword holsters for demon bone swords

Zombies, these can range from stupid and slow to fast and smart, some can even use weapons like guns

Anomolous Phenomena

certain anomolies happen, like earthquakes and tsunamis of blood at random in rare circumstances, and also lava can pour out of rifts in extremely rare cases and essentially its like a volcano erupting, they say if you step on the obsidian after everything is gone or the vermiculite of the solidifed rocks, it is incredibly bad luck, theres lots of superstitions like this in the wasteland for various things, like if a demon attacks you first before you attack it, then its bad luck and means you will most likely not win this battle alive

I guess I could write a short story based on the thing you made as writing practice.

I have been a bit distracted with other projects so haven't been writing as much as I typically do.

>>317814
never mind.
after finally sitting down to read your "lore dump" I can tell this is a poorly thought out half assed daydream that you expect someone else to flesh out.
Also
>the narrator is
Nigga, you ain't wrote anything yet, what the fuck do you mean the narrator?
>im thinking we do 13 episodes
I'm thinking you are delutional.
13 episodes of what?
Who is this "we" you speak of.


Rather than be totally critical I will offer some well intentioned advice at this point.

Actually try to write a full story of some sort set in the world.
One with a solid beginning, middle, and end. Be it a short story, a novella, or script. As long as it's a full story that is long enough that it forces you to mentally flesh out the world from at least one charicter's POV.
This will dramatically improve your world building and create a foundation for others build off of.

Right now you don't have lore.
You have a loose undeveloped scattering of ideas.

I dont know. I dont know who or what i am. There is no independent self. There is just an observer, a mask cant be put on or off. The meatbag reacts how it must under whatever conditions it is in

>>317824
I never put on a mask because I dont believe in being a liar and pretending to be someone that I'm not.

>>317826
I think OP means being withdrawn and not sharing anything about yourself with other people, rather than pretending to be someone else. When you have almost nothing in common with normalfags, you can only talk about the most generic stuff like the weather, food, recent events, etc. You avoid revealing anything about yourself for reasons that should be obvious to a male virgin. You go on like this for too long, and the NPC becomes your second nature, and even overwhelms your true self, to the point where there is very little left of your personality. That's how I relate anyway.

>>317824
>What to do?
I wish I knew, wish I could open up before people, but there is too much spaghetti in my pockets.

>>317826
>I never wear protective gear when striding through poisonous vegetation and thorns because natural is best.

>>317824
Methodical recording of what I am (right now) and what I need to be in public. I have a wall full of laser engraved plaques and calligraphy which I took time to make look nice to trick the subconscious into recognising as important, and also tried to put some eloquence into it so that my conscious mind can remember and articulate it more reliably.

For example:

"You are deformed and damaged from birth, little is expected but is required of you, do not expect others to participate in your delusions, do not take on more than you can reliably accomplish."

This is literally the first thing I see every morning. With that as the baseline I determine what needs to be done on a given day and usually have a formal checklist or memento statements to get myself into the right mind set relative to said baseline.

Further, "Not everyone can be attractive, but everyone can be tidy", so that if I have to go out, as a rule I dress up to the formal shirt, trews and tie level so that people subconsciously interact with The System instead of the deformed individual in front of them. Men are blessed such that "Wearing a bland shirt and tie" makes them fade into the psychological background.

As for taking it off, the reverse works well - dress down to a dirty old hoodie and slack trousers, take a long shower to physically reset the body and literally wash off the grime of the outside world, and make a conscious choice to accommodate my deformities and shortcomings.

15 odd years of practising this and I can apparently pass enough for normal with only a bit of excess tiredness at the end of the work day.

Both the mind and body can be influenced by the environment and incoming signals, this is just basic applied psychology - but you have to *know* it and determine where your signal and noise levels are to make use of them. Willpower and intelligence alone without making use of tools to manipulate the self is for ascetics.

>>317826
Good luck trying to survive on the spectrum with this attitude in countries without neetbucks.

I'm forced to put on a social mask and learn how to maintain it so I don't starve to death.
