Oh I finally remembered my dream from last night. There was a hurricane coming that was projected to literally have its path go right towards my neighborhood and stay there for a good amount of time. I remembered I told my family so we started driving to the east coast of Florida. There was a tropical storm there but not a hurricane. And then I found out my uncle died.

I fell of the wagon last week, I'll admit. Or maybe I got back on the wagon and it led me astray? In any case, I will continue my journey towards my goals, next MONDAY. So close to the weekend, doesnt feel right to start doing good yknow? :^) hehehehehe

I'm the Webster person ITT with a 188 IQ. Statistically speaking, no one in this thread is superior in intellect to me. How does that make any of you feel? Idc about the intelligence thing, if it bothers you. I don't feel superior to anyone in life.

I don't get it why would God let his creation to suffer in this shithole World without lifting a finger to help them? i mean we are rulled by pedos woh most likely eat kids for breakfest, while God he is sleeping or watching the show with some popcorn, this shit doesn't make sense until God is evil or doesn't exist

what was in the plan to give kids brain cancer?

I could always not do it, but that’s unfair.
I could do it, but I’d be suffering a humiliation ritual, or they would find content I don’t wish to divulge.
I could always just go get a GF, but then the interaction would probably be weirder.
Feats? Why? I don’t see there’s and it’s always in context of comparison.

I have come to the conclusion I will never amount to anything. I live in an insane society run by insane people; was unfairly cut down in my prime which has robbed me of 5 years of my life; never achieved anything tangible outside of artistic pursuits I have since put behind me, and seriously believe I am infertile due to all the microplastics and endocrine disrupters I'm exposed to everyday... I am still young, so will not kill myself just yet, but perhaps I will in 10 years' time when the microplastics and general pollution in my body begin catching up with me.

I quit smoking Hashish, quit alcohol, porn, junk food. Quit being on my pc/phone hours per day watching videos. It's been a month.
My biggest addiction was Hashish joints, all day every day. I dream again at night, keeping a journal. Instead of fantasizing about reading, I actually read. I had a thing with this girl but i wasn't so sure about her and broke up with her with a phone call. She got mad. Fuck her. But she was the first that let me put it in her butt so I will remember. Anal sex is not as bad as I thought. I'm sleeping a bit too much these days but it's ok, i'm resetting and I think I love myself.

Not those anons talking about feet but I've noticed that people who are (not necessarily footfags) but capable of appreciating feet are more soulful and gentle and sensitive, but people who can't are crass and evil and wicked... for me when I am in love with someone I find every part of their body beautiful. Even their ears and nose and knees and such. So I can't imagine not being a footfag (or handfag, or pitfag, or whatever) on some level.

Black. It's almost always black boxer-briefs. Tighty-whiteys almost always bunch up under your balls and get all sweaty and damp while boxers only work with the most casual, lose clothes or they too bunch up like crazy. It's like having a coconut in-between your legs-a sweaty hot coconut. It's not pleasant at all.

My friend's gf probably has cancer. He told me he's happy about that and it was hard to keep himself from smiling when she told him. I knew that their relationship was difficult, but this is still strange. And she's still his gf, not his ex or anything, they even live together.

This is the most original music I’ve heard in a while. Closest sounding that I know of is shit James Ferraro was doing as far back as 2011 with early vaporwave, but this is a new twist on that sound and aesthetic with new elements. Incidentally made by a tranny. Why are they so good at music.

I had a modestly attractive woman approach me at McDonald's while I was homeless. She bought me coffee, and took me to her home in her shitty car, where she offered me some detergent like substance to snort, which honestly didn't do anything. We ended up having sex that night, and the following morning she abandoned me at a blood donation center.
That was in 2018, and the last time I had sex.

>Random women will approach literal hobos and offer them drugs and sex
What's your excuse, incels?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>25213684
Sort of. It's a long story, basically thinking I was in a war where every action and thought had global consequences, such as a point in 2017 where I literally thought the world was coming to an end. As for drugs while homeless, I remember being in the back of a trailer smoking synthetic weed, and I started hallucinating a deep, throbbing, concussive pressure in the right side of my brain, which began to screech "THIS IS HOW WHITE POWER COMMANDS A THRALL" to which the pulsating bubble mutated into a spider-like machine whose legs began to spin irregularly and cause my brain to feel as if it was being painfully scrambled. This machine was later described as a "White Power Synthesize," an interdimensional weapon constructed by Zeta Reticulan Rebels.
I basically got better in 2018 when I was incarcerated for stabbing my step-farther in the neck with a knife, where I was looking at a twelve-year prison sentence for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. I spent the first six months in jail in a state of progressive bliss thinking I had not only saved the world, but reality itself. They eventually put me on antipsychotics and the delusions/hallucinations faded. I spent a year and a half in jail, was found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity, and was sent to a state psychiatric hospital, to which I stayed for another year and a half.
>>
>>
>>
>>25213746
Oh, that's a point of honest ambiguity. I was diagnosed in the hospital as having schizophrenia, but I was using drugs, especially psychedelics, since I was sixteen. It hit a critical point when I was twenty-three in 2016 where I met an Australian girl while working as a waiter, who eventually became my girlfriend. I was already fairly enmeshed with eccentic beliefs at the time, but they culminated during the relationship where my sense of reality began to rapidly deteriorate, which was worsened by an acid trip with her that I still find exceptionally beautiful to this day.
So, it was probably a combination of both drugs and genetic predisposition to psychosis, even though no one in my family has schizophrenia.
I did get better, and thanks. There's still a lot of emotional trauma from the experience, but it's healing by the day.

>>25213780
If it were a remarkable case like a triple murder, sure, but many people at the state psych hospital were there because of a successful NGRI plea, like my friend, Evan, who successfully pleaded insanity after being arrested for throwing a hammer at his neighbor.
>>
>>25213793
Must be relatively new cases because I read just reading about pleading not guilty by reason of insanity and at the time, it was exceptionally rare. Like only one murder case had ever successfully plead that rare. Again this was at the time. My sources must have been incorrect.
>>
>>25213758
Yeah my story is similar. I also have schizophrenia, but i only smoked weed, though i smoked for like 10 years. Only did E once and some mild shrooms once.
Yeah i had some sort of paranoia and one acute psychosis, but ive gotten much much better since then. Now my only health problem is losing weight. Do you hear voices?
It really does get better if you try your best
>>
>>
>>25213801
Yeah. Honestly. I knew insanity was a long shot, but before I was acquitteed, I was released on bond and I studied it. Only 1% of cases use the insanity defense, and of that 1% only 25% of them are successful. To make things worse, I live in Texas, so my state uses something called the M'naghten rule to determine sanity, which is the strictest one, as your reasoning can't simply be impaired through derangement, instead it states that you fundamentally lacked the ability to know right from wrong, which my case balanced on with a razor-thin margin. As I knew that what I was doing was illegal, but I genuinely thought I was reacting in self-defense, so the state psychologist who analyzed me considered that sufficient to declare me insane at the time.
>>
>>
>>
>>25213802
That's good to hear, and no, I don't hear voices. Instead what I have is significant personality distortion, where I would have what are basically thoughts that feel as if they come from other people, so I would act them out by holding conversations with myself as both people.
My main symptoms were just delusions. I constructed a highly elaborate internal world that resisted compromise and lead me to perform dangerous activities, such as thinking I was in the CIA, calling 911 and saying there was a bomb at the local police department, and trying to antagonize police officers to draw their weapon and shoot me, along with many other things, such as having an imaginary son, a space station, and direct contact with an obscure god that was the first being in existence.
>>
>>25213826
Yeah, but you will be sent to the hospital for what could be an indefinite amount of time, because it's up to the doctors to determine if you're healthy enough to rejoin society.
Though sometimes you're there for much less time than you would get if you went to prison, like one guy at the hospital slit his dad's throat in his sleep, and he was only there for ten years, but another guy killed both his parents and his dog with a shotgun because he was an Iraq war veteran with serious PTSD, and I think he's still there, so probably like fifteen years by now.

>I miss my ex girlfriend
>Her warm smile

Hmm, don't think you allocated the cold, warm and cute points optimally there.
Which is the best combo? Surely
— cute smile
— warm heart
— cold feet
although obviously you need to make her wear bedsocks.

Also, I advise against it, unless you don't have a relationship with your daughter. In my opinion, it would be much better to stay in your daughter's life, along with that of your other children, instead of sacrificing that connection for vengeance.

Work was fucked today. Young guy I'm training threw a huge teenage bitch fit an hour before quits, so I had to hit him with the concerned parent voice and show him box breathing. Then he entered a failure cascade the second my department went insane and I had to sternly tell him to smarten the fuck up and quit fucking up because my patience was running out, which he did to his credit, but holy shit everything happened at once. He still didnt take out all the fucking garbage.

What is it with this generation of men who freak out and make massive fools of themselves in work.
My son did the same thing and quit without notice, his first job too. And though I won’t say it to him, I think he’s a little embarrassment sometimes; love him as I do.
You have some patience, anon. Good job with it.
>>
>>
>>
>>25213914
Thanks anon. I figure it's just being a teenager, I did some stupid shit myself. Dude just turned 18 and is working 10 hour days of mandatory OT, I understand that takes a toll. And he just started picking orders, where he was only assembling easy stuff before, which is insanely physical if you arent ready for it.
(tl;dr read the last paragraph, just venting).
But buddy was on his phone texting his brother and spent an hour and a half breaking down boxes even though I told him to pick up the pace. Comes back in a fucking huff, I asked him if he got something specific three times, and he ignored me. Starts getting pissed off at his order and throwing shit. So I used command voice, told him to come here like I would have with my dog, walked him to what I wanted done, pointed at it, and told him politely he was asked three times so I suggest he does it. While he was gone, I fixed what he fucked up and picked a few tedious parts for him. Then after he came back again, I asked him if everything was alright, he told me his stupid teenage drama, I told him that being at work is a blessing because it gives him an excuse to ignore it, and that otherwise he was doing a great job. Explained circle breathing and told him to chill.
Two seconds later I get called off my order into an aisle for some insane bullshit and I see a mountain of garbage he didn't touch. I could feel my blood pressure spike through the fucking roof. So I walked over to him, brought him out, pointed at it, and didnt say a word. He knew he fucked up. I told him my patience was running thin, I'm not mad, but I am not nice, so if he didnt immediately fix his behaviour I was going to rip a strip off him. He picks it up, but leaves it in the fucking cart in the aisle and goes back to his order. I pick it up for him, keep doing my shit, and I go to the back and see another massive pile of garbage he missed. So, he comes to ask me about parts, I point at the garbage, and I tell him we can deal with it tomorrow, but he was in a failure cascade and what I wanted was a good attitude and for him to finish the day strong.
He did, which I was proud of. He's had a rough life and no strong male rolemodel, and obviously folds at the first sign of adversity. I'm not really cutting him slack if I'm being honest, I just wanted him to succeed and took the time to set him up for success. I can absolutely see another person lighting him up, but obviously a teenager, and that is a one way ticket to obstinance town. I just think people forget what it's like to be that young.

Oh, and my parents were the same way. Obviously loved me, but were constantly embarassed by me. He'll grow out of it when he turns 28.

I do what I'm told the first time, never complain, am never late, will cover others shift, do their job and mind, rarely call in and will work 20 hours a day, 5 days a week. Are you hiring? Oh and my past 13 bosses loved me because I feel like every job is my responsibility. I will shovel shit if that's what it takes. I've done it before. I come with impeccable references. I can industrial paint, too.
>>
>>25213966
I dont really know how to respond, seems like I'm being mocked, but I'll take you seriously. We are hiring. I dont need any of that shit. Show up, do your job, have a good attitude, and banter with the boys. That's it.

Radically change your habits and environment and use the temporary sense of heightened agency that will give you to stop.
>>
>>
>>
>>
Entertain the feelings you want. Cultivate the feelings you want. Imagine how you want to feel. You feed your identity this way. It accumulates mass like a snowball. In this way an unpreferred identity can be replaced. You don’t want to fight the old identity but entertain the feelings of the new one. This simple idea really can change so much because your thinking and focusing creates your experience. It’s only the rumination on wishing things to be different that keeps them the same. Do not ruminate, focus on that which you prefer and relax.

So many people have brain worms. How can entire groups of people be so stupid? Baffling, honestly. Previously intelligent people get vacuumed up and lobotimized by the internet, and turn into homonculi for the gestalt spirit of Discord. And they are utterly immune to redemption.
My friend is trying to break through a plateau in a game, and I told him how, but because it disagrees with discord's group think he's completely impervious, but desperate at once. Like shit, if these faggots were actually good maybe listening to them would make you better.

I find Bilbo's precociousness is a parallel to Lucifer's pride, however the bildungsroman in the hobbit and Bilbo's inevitable usurpation in The Lord of The Rings speaks more to the post structural tropes and achetypes of a post-industrial society, whereas paradise lost is more traditionally representional/romantic rather than modern, like the hobbit. The lord of the rings is paradise lost through the hobbit by way of trakl; a hyper-real epoch that no longer resonates.

Tried counting to 389 and it took a few tries but I did. When I got finished I tried to count to 341 and I got it eventually. Later I tried counting to 284 and I couldn't do it without losing focus, I had to start over five or six times before I finally got it after an hour of counting. Later on I counted to 119, 110, 99, and 75. (It was only counting to 284 that kept tripping me up so much.) I got a lot of love from the community, but losing ny place on the way to 284 was really frustrating, so I have to stay humble.

You know what word I really hate? "Hawk" as a verb. I had a really bad experience with a friend's mother who kept using that word, so whenever I read it, it brings me back to that night.

When I go through withdrawals, I always dream on day three. On days one and two, the insomnia, I wouldn’t wish that type of insomnia on anyone.. There is nothing to cure it. You just have to veg out and stare at your phone for 48 hours. But day three dreams are some of the most intense you will ever have. In these dreams, I have no balance. Truly, I fall around everywhere. I fall into other people. I fall into trash. And the trash, the trash is everywhere. I’m in streets full of trash. I don’t understand.
And it’s not like I have the trash dreams once every other comedown. It’s literally been happening for 8 years. The same exact dreams. And I’ve looked up all that stuff about how your nervous system is overexcited and that on the third day your brain generally just gives up and goes into REM rebound. But the trash and the imbalance, it appears to be unique to my psyche.
I can’t wait to start another dream journey two days from now! At least I have the chans to zone out on until then. Maybe this time I’ll actually learn something.

I had an apprentice once who was the most incompetent little shit ever, but he’d gotten out of jail recently so I knew I’d get attitude from him, I’ll spare you the details and just say he only lasted a week.
In other news, I have the day off today. What should I read? I just finished reading that Hegel lectures on aesthetics book. Very nice stuff, especially his lectures on Shakespeare, and not obscure at all.

Oh hell yeah. I find Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction to be bretty gud, even if people are more into Baudrillard. Maybe Land's essay on Trakl and werewolves followed by Hegel's lecture on the history of philosophy? The guggenheim also has a kickass book about Italian Futurism, if you're so inclined.
>>
>>25215071
Thanks anon, these are great recs, Trakl is a favourite of mine so I’ll look into the Land essay. I already planned to read Hegel’s lectures on the history of philosophy at some point. Honestly, he’s really well spoken isn’t he? He gets a lot of flak for his writing in the PdG but the aesthetic lectures are, naturally, quite beautiful to read. As I mentioned, I loved the stuff on Shakespeare, Hamlet specifically. Goethe and Dante too.
>Finer and deeper still, the appearance of the ghost in Hamlet is treated as just an objective form of Hamlet's inner presentiment. With his dim feeling that something dreadful must have happened, we see Hamlet come on the scene; now his father's ghost appears to him and reveals to him the whole crime. After this monitory disclosure we expect that Hamlet will at once punish the deed by force and we regard his revenge as completely justified. But he hesitates and hesitates. Shakespeare has been reproved for this inactivity and has been blamed on the ground that the play to some extent never recovers from this flaw. But Hamlet's nature is weak in practice; his beautiful heart is indrawn ; it is hard for him to decide to escape from this inner harmony; he is melancholy, meditative, hypochondriacal, and pensive, therefore with no inclination for a rash act. After all, Goethe clung to the idea that what Shakespeare wished to sketch was a great deed imposed on a soul that had not grown enough for its execution. And he finds the whole piece worked out in accordance with this interpretation : 'Here is an oak tree,' he says, 'planted in a costly jar which should only have had lovely flowers blooming in it; the roots expand; the jar is destroyed.'1 But Shakespeare in relation to the appearance of the ghost brings out a still deeper trait: Hamlet hesitates because he does not blindly believe in the ghost
By the way, Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, that’s Benjamin right? How does he read, I’ve yet to explore any of his essays.

my dad shaved his beard and i can see his chin for the first time in my life
by modern standards he would be a chinlet but i think it's a noble chin, rounded and not vulgar. Makes him look good and kind. Which he is.
He always had a beard and would be very nervous to me in the past, lots of yelling. Can't believe it was this person all along. Makes me love him even more now that I know how he looks like without a beard.
I love my dad so much
But yeah if he were young nowdays he wouldn't get laid, which brings us to me cause i'm young version of himself and i can't get laid. Nowdays I think it's God's love that he spares me of dealing with women

As time goes on the more I realize that more and more of what we see and hear from all sources is just pure propaganda with an agenda and a spin. Like I don't care if smth is convincing no more, I just know there's smth a spin doctor has done to make it so. The very fact that when for example you're reading a book or watching a YouTube video essay you're subjected to that one person's take for the entire time and that can be incredibly manipulative. Critical thinking skills are more valuable than gold.

The problem with this kind of thinking is it reinforces itself. You will never find a woman worth loving (and some do still exist) without playing the courtship game a bit. I hate it too but that's life, and mostly always was. Growth is embarassing and painful.

I tried offering a radically different alternative. A mode of thinking so many times removed from anything offered by modern society, thinking that people were going to pick up on that and think: wow, now that's original! The truth is most people can't even conceive things that are like more than two inches removed from their stubborn propagandist dogmas. Even the views that oppose their worldview they treat with the utmost rejection, they wouldn't even try to understand the opposite side. A right winger is never going to take the time to understand the leftist worldview, he wouldn't even go as far as caring about the underlying psychological reasons that make someone become a left-winger.
I believed it was possible to break the megaframe that makes left and right wing views exist within the same world. They totally do, as much as there is a leftist and a right wing frame, there is also a right-left-wing megaframe that makes both oppose each other for the same framical reasons. This is about far more than just politics. But no one is ever going to take the time and think himself the megaframe of modern society, let alone invent new axioms that exist outside of that megaframe in order to operate on an alternative, quantic, so far totally hypothetical megaframe that entirely breaks with everything conceivable by the average (cross-classically considered) modern mind. A very unfortunate outcome, considering the fact that this is the very reason almost everyone who is 'alternative' becomes full shizo, they fail in operating outside of the megaframe. The shizo partages in the modern mega-frame because of the unoriginality of his 'alternative' views. This I am not a shizo because my axioms operate exo-framatically wich allows me to pass my views off as intro-framatically.

Yup, the lecture is great, I think it was all oral then later written down, but I have no idea. The land essay is tip top as well, it gets a little funky if you arent familiar with Deluze, but I liked it well enough. Not quite as much as Cybergothic, but I'm an edgelord.
Now Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction is Benjamin, it's the one about aura and romanticism with seperation from life's praxis through the industrial revolution creating modernism. It's a little... marxist but honestly I enjoyed it quite a bit when I read it some years ago. Think of it like protosimilacrum and you'll get way more out of it. I view it the same way I view machiavelli, as sort of a post structural almost dao kind of lens, but it is absolutely worth a skim. Nice to know my fellow hard working bro has great taste.

Yeah
I think part of the reason we feel this way is not (just) because women are now narcissistic overgrown children but also because we've taken their niche away. Women had complex social and econimic roles in pre industrial society that now don't exist and we replaced them with "idk lol you have to act like men". It certainly is their fault, feminists demanded it, but no amount of complaining at them will make a difference until we carve our a woman-shaped (more importantly: marriage-shaped) space for them in the post modern world.

Can someone tell me why everyone suddenly online collectively agreed to talk in this way? Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a more retarded and annoying sounding dialect I think I've ever heard before.
I really fucking hate normies. From their retarded sounding dialects, their anti-intellectual, pseudo-intellectual "macho" Americanized personalities, to their retarded memes, gifs, irony-poisioning, to their constant usage of the same premade phrases and reactions over and over and over again like some retarded quick-chat game feature. To their retarded gyrating dances, tastes in music, art, literature, video games, and political beliefs that come from whatever the newest retarded political streamer tells them. Working in a public job has not made this any better, it's only shown me how fucking retarded the majority of people are.
I fucking hate it, I hate all of it, I want this fucking retarded culture to burn to the ground so we can rebuild into something better.

It's all so fucking retarded and annoying. I genuinely wonder if the cause of this is the fact that so many zoomers are being prescribed anti-depressants now, and instead of being able to interface with their emotions in a normal, human way, they have to overcompensate, because they, for the most part, aren't actually feeling it. It's all so performative, gay, and stupid. It gets really aggravating, especially when they all pretend to be someone unique, only to use the exact same slang, phrases, and images as everyone else, because the internet has now prioritized putting yourself into a bubble and obnoxiously shutting down anyone who disturbs your homeostasis with thought terminating cliches, deflections or just not outright addressing anything. All of these people are the fucking same.
>>
>>25215533
It's an unfortunate fact that the majority of people are enthralled to the currents of the zeitgeist in which they live. If we lived in a positively-inclined age they might not be so, but alas.
If you're gifted with the ability to see beyond this then it's tantamount tona religious duty that you hold the flame aloft. Where others may choose sloth you must choose duty. Where others may opt for the cheapest or quickest resolution to something, you must chart the path of quality.
Against the levelling horizontal tides of modernity, the man who stands out is he who strives vertically.

I’m in a tough spot, give me your advice.
I have 2 kids, a 2,5 month old and a 1,5 year old. Wife stays at home.
Yesterday she complained to me that the work is too much for her. Specifically the cooking.
Now if you ask me, the kids can be a handful, no doubt. I wouldn’t want to do this every day either. But I’m super lenient. I don’t make wild demands in what needs to be done at home. I get it can be chaotic. However she asks if I could do the cooking. I think this is crazy. I work every day, do the gardening after work and now cooking as well? Sounds like madness to me.
I suggested getting something delivered one day and I cook one day.
I plan on doing this temporary.
Maybe she was just tired yesterday, but I dont feel like housework is that demanding. The kids sure but how much energy does it take really to make pasta? Idk what do yoo guys think. Only 1 income so I just cant justify buying dinners when cooking is that much cheaper

As a hermit it takes me like 2 minutes to make my chicken and rice, if I take away cooking time.
What kind luxurious feast does she prepare everyday that drains her neet ass so much?
>>
>>25215564
The work is irrelevant, she's tired of having no escape from her "job" and is feeling burnt out because it's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no rest. Now obviously there is some rest, but what she really wants is some partnership and the opportunity to hang out with someone other than you (her boss) and the constant headache of children. Personally? I'd just start scheduling a date night once a week where you drop the kids off at your parents, chug a bottle of rose and clumsily fumble around in the bedroom for 20 minutes before cooking a meal together.

It's not even the slang, it's the fact that all of it feels so performative and fake. Zoomers and gen alpha have been mindraped by irony posion so badly that they can't even communicate without putting up a barrier of ebonics so that they don't come across as "corny" or "lame". That's why any eloquent sounding text gets written off by them as pretentious or "sounding like an anime villain" or "talmin like moffuggin Sephiroth and shieet mayne."
I swear to god, it's like 90s millenial irony poison, MCU irony, and all the worst traits of hood ghetto culture rolled into one singular fuckfest of a monoculture that the internet now pervades to everyone.
Bear in mind, it's not like this is a new phenomenon. I remember in my retarded teenage years worshipping retarded fucks like Mr Metokur that were the king of this irony-poisoned, don't give a fuck about anything, except for performatively yelling about child hurters attitude, that everyone online sought to copy back then too. It made me afraid of ever posting anything genuine out of fear that it could ruin my life. It took me years to break out of it, and I finally have. Zoomers are now falling into the same traps, except, this time, it's with retarded commentary channels that they all get their same news from, their retarded twitter feeds that keep them fed dopamine, their retarded internet zeitgeist that tells them how to behave, and if they don't their life is over.
Now, I'm finally thinking for myself as an adult, and I see just how many people like me there are, except they never break out of it.

Nothing crazy. She wants to cook nice but its been nothing hut chicken and rice. Pasta and porkchops etc. And I never complain, i get the first few weeks/months with a new kid is hard but god damn, it doesnt take a lot of time.
>>25215569
I get that. Saturdays are when I drop the kids at my dad. That gives us a day. Weekends I wake up and make breakfast in bed for her, always.

She doesnt watch much tv, but who knows what Instagram reels or youtube shorts show her.

You’d think it would inspire her

Staying at home all day with two kids that young is the same thing as working all day. A 2.5 month old requires frequent feedings and is unlikely to sleep through the night, and assuming she’s the one getting up with the baby, she’s likely very sleep-deprived, which is impacting her energy levels. Both of your kids are still in diapers and are dependant on constant adult care—that’s a huge responsibility. You say you work and do the gardening, but do you do an equal share of childcare and chores when you get home from work? Most men don’t. If all of that is falling on her, then it’s understandable that she’s exhausted and is feeling overwhelmed. If the kids were school-aged and she was a stay-at-home-mom with more free time, I would be less sympathetic to her saying the work is too much, but at this stage, she’s justified.
Try suggesting that you two set aside time over the weekend to spend a couple of hours making a meal plan for the week, and meal prepping together. Having produce already washed and cut, meals prepped in the fridge and freezer that just need to go into the oven, etc. means it will significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to cook daily. Also, get an Instant Pot and a slow cooker if you don’t already have them—they make meal prep way easier.

Ebonics is a reduction of the language beyond simple slang such as "dude". Ebonics reduces the ability to converse down to a level that is bordering on genuine monkey speak. If you use ebonics I usually just dismiss whatever you have to say immediately as it's also a display of character, as is all language.

men have empathy for women challenge (impossible)
Referring to a woman who is only ten weeks postpartum and is caring for two children under two 24/7 as a ‘neet’ is profoundly unserious. Saying she’s shit testing because she feels overwhelmed and wants her husband to help make dinner when he gets home from work is the epitome of manosphere retardation. If he were a single man working a 9-5 to support himself, he’d have to prepare his own food after work anyway. It’s not a crazy ask for her to expect him to pitch in and take over cooking dinner a few nights a week. She’s still 100% responsible for preparing food for herself and the kids while he’s away at work, so he’s only being asked to help prepare one of three meals a day.

True.
The decline of literature wasn't caused by a decline in quality, it was caused by the disappearance of low-quality trash literature. The internet has absorbed low-quality paper entertainment, and all that's left of literature has to be mediocre for the very least. For this very reason, every modern piece of literature feels pretentious. Not even the newspapers are random anymore. Never again will someone read a normal newspaper and think: wow, this trash ass slop is actually kind of entertaining.

The excuse for the utterly deranged and retarded. Yes, language and words change over time, but you still need to adhere to basic structures and foundations, including expanded vocabulary. What you are excusing with "language changes" is the equivalent of the Kevin "Why use many word when few word do trick?" bit from The Office. Or better yet, how everything is "fascist" or "literally Hitler". Using fewer words to act at catch-all not only diminishes the nuance (and therefore usefulness) of a word, it also created societal strain because nobody knows what the fuck each other actually mean because written text lacks the inflection of spoken word, so you need nuanced words. Like "melancholic" and "jaded," cAn both be forms of "sad" but are more specific that just saying "I'm sad".
You cannot begin to convey complex thoughts, feelings, and ideas without complex language. You cannot have complex language without adhering to a foundation. That foundation may shift over time, but it needs to be a very slow process over the course of multiple generations, not the accelerated retardation we see in the Internet age.
tl;dr expand your vocabulary anons, read a fuckin book or something, see and learn new words being used in context.

How is being a stay at home mother to a ten-week-old and an eighteen-month-old living life on easy mode?? Have you ever cared for children that age, or even interacted with them? It’s a huge amount of work. If anything, working an office job eight hours a day and getting eight hours of sleep a night is ‘easy mode’ compared to breastfeeding every three hours (meaning you are literally sitting there with the baby and cannot do other tasks for up to 30-45 minutes per feeding and have not gotten a full nights sleep in months), changing diapers constantly, preparing food for the babies and yourself, cleaning up their messes, dealing with constant crying, playing with and teaching them, all while maintaining the household chores such as laundry, vacuuming, etc. She easily puts in 18 hours of work a day, and this is made even more difficult by the fact that her body is still recovering from childbirth.
Just say you’re an ignorant bitter misogynist and go.
