>>5959There isn't much sense in assigning a sense of self to a continuous experience if what makes up each moment is reliant on things that aren't immutably tied to it. Why not acknowledge that each thing changes and that change is an essential component to what produces your existence? It's not an objective fact, it's just an arbitrary designation.

I am happy because I'm doing good on this holiday. This is just my third day of holiday but I already read a little and watched an anime I was really wanting to watch, and even wrote a little! I finally have time to focus on me.
Through this inteire year I was thinking about how worse I was in comparison to my past self. I would remember 2021, 22 and 24 and how I was better, but now I think I'm slowly recovering from despair and sadness and building a better version of myself: I'm being able to follow my classes now and I want to read and learn instead of just grinding Disgaea, which is what I did in the last, mid-of-the-year holidays. I'm just happy I can envision a better future for myself and that I'm excited about some stuff.

I've been recovering from a cold but I wanted to go to the gym so badly I said fuck it, downed a couple painkillers, and went down to train for 2 hours. Now I feel even worse. Not only does my body feel like shit but I'm gloomy about letting my coaches down by taking more days off. I l know this is in my head and they are just happy I show up but I still feel bad. I really like training goddamit!

Americans only like football because nobody else plays this sport, which effectively guarantees they will never loose. There is no risk of some upstart foreigners and playing the game better than they do. The NBA and baseball occasionally pilfer a player from Asia or bring in a Canadian team disturbing the image of American perfection with the presence of ugly foreigners. The NFL doesn't have this problem because nobody outside of North America plays this game. The whole thing is staged with all the imagery and pageantry of a jingositic America, a fake battlefield full of macho tough guys who give up under the mildest strain to be carted off to the sidelines when ever their pinky hurts. There is in fact no real contest going on in the superbowl. Nothing is at stake. This isn't like the world cup or the Olympics where two nations face off, its narcissus gazing at his own reflection. What do the athletes in NFL represent? They are all symbols for the same damn thing.

I like anime manga but I hate the fandoms. The more I grow older the more I dislike the run of the mill imageboarder types. They are just autistic man children and hanging out with them will bring you down. The majority of the advice seeking problems people routinely bring up on boards are made worse by hanging out on those sites. Its like choosing to be the frog at the bottom of the well hearing your negative and arrogant opinions rebound back to you. Unfortunately, anon boards are convenient and the alternative is little better.

A trip to YouTube to listen to some folk stories while I wind down for the afternoon. What did I get? Nothing but TikTok style shorts, AI generated videos, low brow sloppy,, and flashy polished content made by bankrolled channels that make substanceless videos. Not one video to find. It really seems like we live in a world with more and more content and less and less meaning. Its exhausting. Where do I find stuff anymore? I know there is good stuff out there but it takes so long to find anything worthwhile that you give up half way. Maybe there never was any good stuff to begin with and I just call what I see nowadays slop because of my age? Now I know why everything from the Bible to Buddhist scriptures condemn idle talk. Come to think of it, since 90s the internet has always been filled with idle talk. Even usenet was infamous for the aimless rambling and meaningless posts.

>>6530Your only hope is making a new youtube account, clicking/watching the videos you'd like to see in the future and then praying that youtube gives you good recommendations. You'll still be exposed to a flood of exaggerated soyfaces so there is that.
I've given up on youtube. I have a simple RSS feed now with three channels that I actually like. If I need to search something I use invidious.

>>6530Harry Jaggard, Mike Okay, ElectroBOOM (has sponsors), Integza (has vetted sponsors), Sabine Hossenfelder (has sponsors), 715 Team, DangerouslyFunny, Spiffing Brit. That should get you started. Zero BS (as long as you skip the sponsor segment for some) + a heavy dosage of goofiness. You may also try things strange, dark, and mysterious, delivered in the story format, but I find that MrBallen guy rather generic.

If I'm an autist with severe social issues is it really that bad for me to talk to AI chatbots? I can't find anyone else to talk to, most people find me rude, and my interests are super niche. I'm basically self medicating but what option did society leave me?

>>6548I know I was going to have to clarify this, but I was talking more in the sense of being judgemental or becoming self-hating in some of my hobbies thanks to the nature of CY discourse. Though it might be from years of bad luck and while I do have friends, none of them can talk what I find the most interesting things in a similar fashion. Perhaps not the most /kind/ thing to say, but I feel I am becoming healthier overall, and this is just the one way I guess I've become unhealthy.
