The first half went well. In fact, the first half of 2024 was probably the most pleasurable time of my life. I felt like life was moving ahead, like I had a future in store for me. Then the second half came, disaster after disaster, tragedy after tragedy. Deaths, break ups, and increased family tensions. It's been painful. It's not the worst I've ever been through, but it's pretty close truth be told. Falling back into old habits, overall feeling unworthy and depressed, and just trying to get back on my own two legs again. I don't think 2025 will be worse than that was, but only time will tell.

Have you ever ran away from home, or been kicked out, or just been homeless in general?

No. The worst thing in that regard was living without heating and warm water for half a winter. It's not ideal.

Remember back when I was like 7-8 I've got in a bad fight with mother and ran away in my pajamas. It was a dark night, but thankfully father caught me quickly. She used this later as a story to tell friends or family, didn't she realize in what spot that put her?

Yeah, I was homeless for a little bit. Not long. I was living in a flophouse with a few other people, and things got sour after some time. We got into serious fights, and our friends were concerned about our health and safety. Many of us, myself included, were undiagnosed and unmedicated at the time, so it just wasn't good for us to live around each other. So I booked a campsite at a local state park, and just left. State parks are cheap in my area, about 1/3 the price of rent. So I camped out. Unfortunately my health declined rapidly, and being alone in a state park with failing health is not a good idea. So I crashed at my parents' house while I did the paperwork to get my own apartment. Now I've lived here for about 3.5 years.

If you're wondering why I didn't just go to my parents' to begin with… well, not everyone has healthy relationships with their parents. I was glad they let me in, but I was not glad to be there.

 No.21101

My old man kicked us all out when I was like 6 and we used to share a one room flop for a year or two. When I was in my early 20s and working in Shanghai, I ended up homeless for a few weeks and ended up living in some damn love hotel until I could rent a place. Yeah it was funny at first hearing people bang away for hours, but after a while it just got annoying. My neighbors were really damn loud so I used to run the shower when the sex moans got too noisy for me to concentrate.

the tiktok for you page is soo bad right now. They must've fucked with it specifically for the congressional hearings

there literally isn't a SINGLE video I care about watching, half of them are in spanish or some other language lol

What do you guys think about the whole tiktok banning thing? Are you pro or anti tiktok?

Personally I think it's ridiculous to even suggest that tiktok is banned. It clearly comes from a jingoistic anti-China rhetoric that is pervasive among our politicians, there is literally no proof that tiktok has done anything to harm the USA or Americanse. Our relationship with China can be good if politicians don't continually antagonize them.

More importantly, tiktok is GOOD for the USA. it's the best mainstream social media that exists besides twitter. I've seen more real examinations into the human condition on tiktok than I have seen on any other platform. You see actual people there living their lives while platforms like instagram feel far more manicured. People are going to waste their time on social media. Might as well be on there.

Thoughts?

I think singling out Tiktok is unfair. I do use some social media like Mastodon and Bluesky on occasion but I am very skeptical of social media in general and treat it with a lot of care and suspicion. It can be extremely addictive. I worry about malicious information control and privacy, especially on the ones that are extremely centralized and collect massive amounts of data about their users.

I did enjoy my brief time using Tiktok and thought the algorithm was wonderful at picking up the things I liked, but I was concerned about the downstream effects of it if I kept using it long-term. Plus I don't like how automatic it is. I like choosing the information and media I engage with myself. If the people in charge decided to flood your feed with negative or misleading stuff, or suppressed information critical of their interests you'd be completely at their mercy. (None of this is unique to Tiktok)

Plus the level of depth and enjoyment you can get out of Tiktok is capped at a certain point so engaging with it a lot to the detriment of other interests is bad. A Tiktok or Instagram video might entertain you, but it's never going to touch you as much as a really good movie, game or book. Which isn't to say you can't ever enjoy ephemeral silly potato chip content, but I hope the younger generations are still making time for whole-grain media that takes longer to digest and sticks with you for longer. That's not to say I'm totally above it either, I also waste too much time online.

I hesitate to agree because there doesn't seem to be any good examples of where moderation works. It's not that I believe that 4chan's racism is okay, but there are way more places where moderation, whether through a moderation team or socially sanctioned by site users, becomes hyper dogmatic and what becomes considered "racism" and other types of bigotry is a huge generalized window. 4chan's system isn't perfect, it's far from it, but it IS one of the few places you can genuinely critique the absurd and stupid elements of online culture. Whereas on many other websites the culture becomes so morally puritan that you cannot criticize anything.

The erosion of any common belief in a higher power has contributed to vitriol and hatred. There isn't a common bridge between different groups of people anymore. You can't intervene and appeal to Christian brotherhood like MLK did because now nobody believes in it and those who do the loudest are degenerate right wing culture warriors who just like the Crusader trad aesthetic despite not understanding anything about Medieval Christianity even.

I hate discussing this subject. Not because it isn't important, but it goes nowhere and sucks. I have to deal with enough of it irl. You can't really critique anything on 4chan. Virtually every board is a horde of general threads, ragebait, and reposts from Twitter-Reddit, not to mention bot spam. There's neither discussion nor fun there anymore. Its just boring. Ideally, a good community doesn't need heavy handed moderation because the culture by itself encourages and discourages certain types of behavior. If enough people behave with sincerity and kindness, newcomers are less likely to want to cause trouble. The problem is this doesn't scale well as a site gets more traffic and stops being a niche group and there are always retard kids and spammers.

I had a moment of clarity today at work. My coworker showed me the argument she was having in the comments of a political facebook post. She was arguing with some random person, who was calling her all types of horrible names based on just her opinions. She was very level-headed and honestly funny with her responses, but I just kind of realized she was talking to a brick wall. There was no way to tell if she was talking with a real person or an AI chatbot, and it kind of didn't matter. The truth is, she took time out of her day (albeit, work time) to respond to this rude comment. And I realized… I would have done the same thing. She's 40 years older than me, but yet I would have fallen for the same trick if it was on a social media app that I use (so, YouTube, the only one I use).

I think I learned to be a bit more mindful of what I read/post on the internet. I've learned that arguing online doesn't do any good, for me or for anyone else. It's one of those things that feels like it scratches a certain itch, but it doesn't. As long as negative comments exist, I'll have the itch to respond to them. So maybe the answer lies in myself, not the internet. Maybe true peace is only achieved once I realize that we're all better off not arguing with strangers on the internet.

But idk.

To be honest, even as someone who believes in a higher power, I would be okay with a secular higher-order principle or virtue that unites people instead of dividing them and leading to a sense of meaninglessness. I only worry because under a naturalistic atheist paradigm, it becomes nigh impossible to appeal to any higher-order notion as it is a metaphysical appeal eschewed under naturalistic atheism’s logic. This isn’t so much “atheists cannot be moral” because that is the opposite of the truth as atheists oftentimes do have a strong sense of morality, but this is more in defiance towards the logical conclusion of this paradigm which is nihilism. What worries me is we are going to uncritically and unconsciously dive so deep into our technocratic, rationalistic, and scientific worldview that we are only concerned with what can be directly observed and applied (which means conceptions such as morality and shared human dignity become obsolete).

As for what you were saying about the right-wing: I completely agree with you. Their problem is they are reactionaries. They do not care about the ideologies they proclaim to align themselves with. They care about Christianity as a means to react against secular liberalism, not the ethos of Christ’s message (which oftentimes goes against their behavior). It also reminds me how seven-eight years ago many of them were obsessed with Ted Kaczynski, but when it came to climate change and biodiversity loss they would pretend it was the stupidest idea ever.

I would like to live in a cozy wooded area around 30 minutes away from town. I'd like a greenhouse to grow vegetables and herbs somewhere on the place too.

the inside would have to be hella comfy. Maybe a small A-frame style cabin? I'd like to have a firewood stove as well. As well as plenty of space to store my books!

I've been there, nice place but very cold. Gonna post some of my favorite spots in Missouri, since it's my home turf.

Missouri has 93 state parks, and they are so well-maintained that many other states based their state park program on Missouri's. So here's a few of my personal favourites that I've visited.

Elephant Rock: great place, good fishing, big ass rocks which are fun to climb on. Great place to bring the kids.

Knob Noster: good group camping. Lots of picnic gazebos and amphitheaters that you can reserve.

Johnson's Shut-ins: good for hiking and "rock climbing" (there are no mountains in Missouri but we have some rocky cliffs). Also do not trust the fishing here, it's nothing of value. Learned that the hard way.

Onondaga Cave: best spelunking in the state. Obviously all warnings for spelunking apply, bring a helmet, pads, and light. I went here as a kid and got trapped in a tunnel, my friend had to drag me out by my feet. I still have claustrophobia from it.

Ha Ha Tonka: best park in the state. Beautiful hills and forests, with a freshwater spring, a cave to explore, and 'castle' ruins at the top of a hill (there are no castles in US, but it's pretty damn close). The attached pictures are all from Ha Ha Tonka.

Overall definitely worth a trip from out of state. We have a lot to offer.

Only ever camped in forests but the most beautiful place yet must have been on a hill, next to a lake. I could see all the nearby islands when I woke up. The feeling I felt in the sun while cooking my pancakes is something I'll never forget.

Agreed that you really don't need a lot of gear. When I first camped, I didn't have a tent, instead I slept in those lean-to's you find in a lot of forests. No problem at all. I think trying to find unique solutions to situations is part of the joy in camping. One time I arrived at a lean-to late in the night, it was pitch dark outside. On top of that, it started raining. And yet, when I finally managed to create a small fire with my humble tools, that success filled me immense bliss.

I wish I was a pure, honest, and simple person with a clean heart. Have you ever known a person like this? Someone who's just nice and not in a fake way but just a generally nice and good hearted person? Someone you don't want to spoil by exposing them to dumb soykafine on the internet? Ever notice how a person like this seems to be doing effortlessly? Its just something that comes naturally to them. Why can't I be like that? I wonder where I went wrong. Sometimes I blame the internet for having ruined me. Constant negativity, shitposting, pornography, crulety, and exposure to a news cycle and politics. You wind up becoming a cynical pessimistic person and for some reason the world thinks its cool to be an asshole. I wish I could be an adult again instead of a jaded adult. So what are some ways to overcome this and be a better person?

I get the feeling that being good isn't just about forcing yourself to have positive thoughts but changing your outlook on life and daily practice. You can't be a better swimmer without regular exercise. What are some techniques?

You know what this conversation reminds me of? Creep, by Radiohead: "I want a perfect body… I want a perfect soul." I can relate. I think the first step is probably to just… forgive yourself. Have compassion for who you are.

I would start by unraveling your life. Pick it apart piece-by-piece and analyze how it affects you to this day. When I was on imageboards as a teenager, I didn't understand why I was even using imageboards until much later. It was only in my 20s did I understand that as a child my parents and peers berated, bullied, and beat me. It's no wonder why I could not make friends in life, because I never trusted enough to do so. I could only feel safe talking to sushi rollymous people behind a screen. I don't blame myself for surrounding myself in internet culture, it was the only thing I knew to do.

I feel as a fellow imageboard user, there is a reason you have these feelings. Try to find that out, and in doing so I hope you find compassion for yourself. The secret is that when you find compassion for yourself, you'll find compassion in others, and you'll be that clean hearted person you're looking for.
