This manga was weird. Didn't care for it. Is the anime adaptation any better?

>>38814

No unfortunately.

>>38971

This here is everything Alan was about.

>>38979

This made me laugh. I feel better. Thank you anon

>>38978

Not giving a fuck and just enjoying the ride while it lasts is the best way to go about it really.

go commit die

Accept it. Or if you can't or won't, accept that you can't or won't accept.

Likely that he just wants a reason or excuse to not give money. If I were you, I'd be very involved in the paternity test. Make sure the doctor is not some asshat your dad could buy off.

Your mom could also be being an ass. You are 18, technically an adult. You could get the money directly now. Your mom doesn't need to hold on to it for you. Start grabbing control of your finances.

Get a job. Or if in school apply for scholarships. And kick your parents off your accounts. Or open new ones and transfer the money over.

Start looking after yourself. Start looking at what is in your best interest. Not the best interest of your parents. Screw eastern bs philosophy. You owe no dharma or karma to your parents.

This being said don't be obvious about what you are gonna do. Hide your thoughts from both of them. They might both be narcissistic cunts.

"What do you think, Rāhula? What is the purpose of a mirror?"

"It's for reflection, sir."

"In the same way, deeds of body, speech, and mind should be done only after repeated reflection. When you want to act with the body, you should reflect on that same deed: 'Would this act with the body that I want to do lead to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both? Is it immoral, with suffering as its outcome and result?' If, while reflecting in this way, you know: 'This act with the body that I want to do leads to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both. It's immoral, with suffering as its outcome and result.' To the best of your ability, Rāhula, you should not do such a deed. But if, while reflecting in this way, you know: 'This act with the body that I want to do doesn't lead to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both. It's moral, with happiness as its outcome and result.' Then, Rāhula, you should do such a deed.

"While you are acting with the body, you should reflect on that same act: 'Does this act with the body that I am doing lead to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both? Is it immoral, with suffering as its outcome and result?' If, while reflecting in this way, you know: 'This act with the body that I am doing leads to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both. It's immoral, with suffering as its outcome and result.' Then, Rāhula, you should desist from such a deed. But if, while reflecting in this way, you know: 'This act with the body that I am doing doesn't lead to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both. It's moral, with happiness as its outcome and result.' Then, Rāhula, you should continue doing such a deed.

“After you have acted with the body, you should reflect on that same act: 'Does this act with the body that I have done lead to hurting myself, hurting others, or hurting both? Is it immoral, with suffering as its outcome and result?'

This is a pretty nice guided metta meditation, I like it a lot:

>take shower

>let tub drain

>close drain

>add: epsom salt (~1cup), olive oil (~2tbsp), about 5-10 drops total essential oils (whichever you need: sweet orange for energy, peppermint for uplifting, tea tree for purifying, lavender for relaxing…)

>draw water

>bathe

>wait, how does this lead to greater /kind/ness?

Improved mood = improved chance of improving /kind/ness!

Take this with a pinch of salt since I don't know anything about relationships, but my advice would be not to "fake" your personality to make her like you more since this can backfire and I don't think you could truly be happy pretending to be something or someone you're not. But I would approach her with an open mind and give a chance to things she likes, who knows maybe you will enjoy those things as well. In any case, best of luck friend!

>>37461

I think you're right here. Sometimes people just aren't compatible, so wearing a mask would be a short term solution. Maybe I can finally get my life on track now~ Thanks friend!

>>37460

you'd be surprised at how little normal people mind your lifestyle anon.

>>37460

That sounds more like a friendship than relationship material. It is important not to confuse the two or you could be hurt emotionally.

>>37458

I learned early on to "hide my power level". If anyone ever finds out, it takes people years before they learn how fucked up I am on the inside and what I do on the internet etc. Like >>37461 said, don't fake it, but at the same time just don't talk about it. Also any time spent away from the internet is probably healthy anyways.

tbh, even an amateur sketch would be deeply appreciated, anons.

>>38873

Try to draw her as a body sketch. We ought to keep it simple. Hm, I had a particular request in mind, but I don't know. It might be a lot of work. We were going to have one with Erika/Polina because we wanted her to interact with other board-tans. We were going to have Erika heil and shout, "Heil Hitler, dir!" and Grace shout, "Heil Kaiser dir!" like a cutesy anime scene.

A body sketch is fine, but you may do what you want. We'll take it.

No cute here, but didn't think it was worth its own thread:

>Anger, with its poisoned root and honeyed tip, often seduces us with its honey.

I wish I were a faster reader.

When people get into relationships for the first little while they kind of forget about people around them. I'm sure your friend isn't doing it to be mean or anything like that, he probably is just caught up in the feelings of the moment. Don't break off contact with him. If you're able to try to work your schedule around hers. It sounds bad, but it works… see him in the morning if she does in the afternoon and so on. Try to be more confident, and eventually things will work out for you.

>>38254

Dude, break it off. This won't be the last time something like this happens. The longer you hold on, the worse the hurt is going to get.

Some girls do this stuff, I don't know why, something similar has happened to me too. Just ignore her from now on, don't give her any attention, that might be the best.

I don't want to be pessimistic but start getting detached from the both of them and expect to part ways, that friendship triangle won't work and conflict will arise from the unspoken tension surrounding the three of you.

>>38621

Women probably do it for one of two reasons.

A. She's rubbing it in and telling you to get lost.

B. She's guilty/nervous/awkward for what she's done and having to see you everyday makes it worse.

>>38146

you sound like you have an incredibly bleak view of humanity, you'd think people would be okay with torturing and killing if there are no consequences, like everyone's just some serial killer waiting to be set loose once the chains are off. there's are words called conscience, selflessness and guilt that would not exist if your theory were correct, i also disagree with that you think women have completely different roles in "dominance hierarchy" but would prefer not to derail this discussion with gender politics

>>38148

I didn't say everyone will start killing and torturing, I was saying that people aren't acting because of consequences like jail.

Btw, you didn't provide any argument against anything I said.

>women have completely different roles in "dominance hierarchy"

I said they don't take part in it. You have different kind of hierarchies.

>>38159

You make a good point.

>>37364

Thank you for making this thread, I finally have some long-boiling steam to let off.

Cringe 'comedy'. God, fucking, damn. The one moment that cemented my anger for this kind of shit started on seeing at stupid high-school movie where the protagonist has to deal with a series of severely escalated misunderstandings between his love interest's family members and friends. I remember seeing some episodes of Mad Dogs thanks to family members that left me flabbergasted. The main "funny" moment of one episode left me cringing in pain, while the rest of the drama in the remainder of the episode left me sour. Then another episode, where the the crew ineptly deals with a hired hitman, it wasn't funny, but I thought it was actually pretty cool given that these people are basically normal, and trying to make best with what they got. Then I looked up what its genre was, it was comedy/drama/crime, at that point was just like "what the fuck?". Cringe is the pain of awkwardness, it's not fucking funny. The idea of a scene of nothing but endless escalations of awkward tension is less than funny, it's godawful.

Yet for all this painful shame, I still want to count the comedy of pain itself. you get all these quotes about people who talk about comedy with pain, I for one love the hilarity of seeing people do stupid things and suffering because of it. I grew up on cartoons and jackass, so it may be "crude" but damn, pain is timeless, lampooned pain, even more so! Speaking of Jackass, those guys went on there knowing exactly what they were getting into, it was gonna be ridiculous, it was gonna hurt, but dammit it was funny! It takes legit courage to stare pain in the face, knowing full well it's gonna hurt, but jump in it anyway to make us laugh.

I laugh at people walking into pain expecting fun, but I admire people who walk into pain with awareness of it.

If you would, here's a good lengthy definition with plenty of real-world examples of real-world peoples' lives being ruined because they used a dirty word on Big Social, to help cement the fact that this hasn't been fear-mongering for at least a decade now:

I really want to speak to jordan peterson so I can ask him to define neomarxism, explain it's relation to marx's writings, and define what he thinks postmodernism is.

>>38510

you don't have to be neutral to be skeptical of someone or even disagree with certain things someone says, and you can fight back without having to go all leroy jenkins on the enemy. being critical of some of your allies' beliefs is in fact what strengthens them if debated correctly. being obsessively fanatical about your beliefs is what birthed SJWs in the first place.

I don't know why I'm bothering when I know I'll just sink whatever free time I have into lazing about on image boards instead of meditating or anything here because of a million excuses involving wageslaving and depression.

>>38549

"but generally hidden, power inherent in this simple mental function, a power that can unfold all the mind's potentials culminating in final deliverance from suffering"

Seems pretty good to me, I wish you luck Anon.

That's fine

I like those color combinations like the green and purple

Is that a magician and a shark?

>>38423

>Is that a magician and a shark?

I suppose. I wasn't thinking when I was drawing, I just drew and went along with whatever seemed to be appearing, like drawing that first line "oh hey that kinda looks like a leg" and so I made another, then remembered wizards tend to be blue or purple and so I did so. Too bad my art skillz are horrid, though, because it's fun to do stuff like that.

>>38427

It doesn't matter that much if you think your art skills are "horrid" if you have fun drawing and keep doing it you might get better at it later

dead board is dead

Fuck no, if you could escape your poverty you were never truly poor to begin with. You don't know what it means to literally eat nothing for days. To walk 25kms because you need to save for rent/food. To wear the same shoes almost everyday for 8 years. A lot of people think they're poor but aren't and live in cities/countries with an amazing economy, they're not poor they're just lazy.

Btw antidepressants are not free >:^(

>>38361

a wall of text wasnt enough?

>>38366

You have access to the internet , youre not poor enough to be stuck being poor.

Im poor by western standards , lower income bracket , not homeless or impoverished

Happy birthday /kind/ ♥
