No misogyny but I'm lowk gay and love hypermasculine men and I'm myself pretty masculine(I work as a truck mechanic) but I love to submit to men who are stronger than me. Anyways I don't really like anime and manga but I always liked this specific genre of insane battle manga where the focus isn't on underage cute waifus but on screaming roided men who crash everything and end up in insane and comical situations afterwards. There's no Western alternative to this genre or anywhere else, it's unique. The Western action movies about badass men are all live-action so they all have very limited physiques. The only videogames about roided insane men are fighting games without much plot. There are books about them like Conan but books are without pictures of their physiques.

So I've noticed that this genre of manga/anime about roided men have seriously died out. Manga/anime male main characters all are very slim and calm nowadays. Same for most other male characters and this specific genre of manga have stopped getting new titles. Even Jojo seriously toned down the musclehead and I hate it very much.

Psychological Pessimism

Anthropocentric pessimism centered on the analysis of human psyche and it's contradictions. Core theme - suffering is the fundamental(base) state of human psyche due to mortality, meaninglessness, impermanence and desires. Human beings are in constant struggle to suppress this inherent knowledge.

Transcendent(Buddhist) Pessimism

Pessimism that centres on the direct non-conceptual insight into the reality of unsatisfactoriness of all conditioned phenomenona. Advocates meditation, asceticism and ethics as a way to understand truth and reduce suffering. Philosophical works can be very technical but are centered on the denial, establishing what reality is not instead of directly pointing at the non-conceptual knowledge. The oldest form of pessimism and had a great influence on all the other groups of pessimism.

I've used the Wikpedia list of philisophical pessimists as a source for the list of notable pessimists though I understand that this list can be controversial. Would be glad to hear your thoughts on my attempt to classify them into groups.

So I own one house, I live in it now and I'm kind of tired of the system and the life. I want to quit my job and rent my house to someone. I myself will be homeless, living on the streets and forests, sleep freely where I want to and do drugs/alcohol using money given to me by renters. I live in a warm climate and a friendly city for homeless. Is it possible to be homeless and still be a landlord who collects rent to support this lifestyle?

So I've spent most of my childhood and adolescence living in a frontline warzone town(I won't name country due to politics). The war began when I was 7 years old and at first I was scared but with time I got used to it, then the war got frozen but the passive shelling continued then it got unfrozen and I've experienced full war again. Now I'm living in a peaceful territory but I'm so depressed here. Life feels like a drudgery, somehow when there's a constant risk to your life the life feels more important and meaningful, you value every moment, there was more actual choices, more situations, strong friendships and such. Idk I might be privileged and there are many people who experienced far worse than I have, I don't want to disrespect their suffering but somehow the suffering there felt intense but active and full of life, here in peace the suffering is small but feels very dead already.

I'm not at risk of conscription yet but I would like to volunteer as a soldier now to experience it again, unfortunately I'm a single child and the only son so my family is too much dependent on me for me to die yet.

So I have a problematic behavior, I like to scratch the skin on my feet until it falls off. The skin on the feet specificaly is very easy to scratch and make it fall off without much pain, I find it relaxing, I'm a lazy mf and then let it lie on the floor and honestly kind of love looking at my skin but my dog who is a picky eater and can refuse eating a good meat somehow immediately picks it all up and eats it like a gourmet. Why?

I've started recently reading classic poetry and while I love Chinese poetry(Song of Everlasting Regret, Cold Mountain) I wonder why China didn't developed epic poems like West did with The Nibelungenlied, Paradise Lost, Jerusalem Delivered etc. Instead China and East Asia went straight into prose for long narratives and poetry, while important, is all very short. Why?

I was too afraid to ask her back then why she did but yeah. Sorry if it's a low-effort post.

So I know it sounds made up but I live on the city outskirts and there's a semi-rural nature area near me where I recently started going to watch Monster during night/late evening(because of work). Yesterday I wasn't going there because I decided to lift weights instead. Today I was stopped by police, had my items and clothing checked, got questioned and then they notified me that at this place two people were dismembered and they're looking for a killer. They also told me that I walked past a dismembered human hand that they purposefully left out to catch the killer and that I shouldn't freak out if I notice it.

I heard some voices in the woods faraway but I thought it's some harmless to others drug addicts whose bodies are weak and I'm athletic. There's also a bit of open space so I would notice them if they were coming but still fuck this shit. I used to go there for the better atmosphere, the starry sky and most importantly to go away from my family since I still live with them but I guess this place is ruined now. The killer could have possibly even heard Johan Liebert monologue playing from my phone as I didn't use headphones.

Btw I even posted pics of this place here but deleted the post as it had 2 upvotes, maybe someone remembers it.
