Above all you must draw the distinction between the ruling faculty and the obeying faculty. The ruling faculty is that which allows us to examine things and to consider their nature, and also to inquiry into their relation to us. The obeying faculty is the animal, which produces desires and needs, but also compulsions are such similar things. It belongs to the obeying faculty whether something can be done or not, for it is the driving force of mind. It is the place of the ruling faculty to recognize the complete lack of control over the obeying faculty. Consider now, since it is what you are supposed to do as a rational hikarin, the relation between the ruling faculty and the obeying faculty and consider what follows. It is clear after proper examination, that the ruling faculty is only capable of suggesting or advising the obeying faculty, but whether it obeys depends on your circumstances. Remembering that circumstances do not belong to us, it necessarily follows that the desire to control the obeying faculty is instilled in us by Evil and is irrational. As such it is clear that the work you need doing is directed towards removing removing the Evil rather than taking its bait and trying to follow it into the depth of hell in the vain hope to get off the hook painlessly. The illusion of failure must never let your mind waver from what is truly important - opposing the spread of Evil across the world. Embrace the true strength that you acquire by joining the Fight! The power to not be disturbed by any movement of Evil, the power to always keep your mind clear and consistent, to always be your own master! Become a Warrior today! Join the Resistance!

>>9203 ? what are u sayin

>>9204 that's the fighting hikarin. he's our friend

>>9136 That's nice :D, hope your skills didn't degrade too bad -w-

i'm drinking vodka with soda water and lime juice. i've been reading, practicing guitar, cooking new things, and lifting which i guess is a hobby. real life is going okay. i have a lot of things going for me but i don't feel very fulfilled as of now. being active in my Church helps with this somewhat.

Im drinking fanta Ive been putting together gunpla I kind of want to kill my self but im not gonna

> What are you drinking? monster energy ultra strawberry dreams.. tried it for the first time, it's pretty decent. i prefer sour flavors though > Are you practicing any hobbies? just drawing every now and then. and playing video games.. currently playing rdr2 > How is real life going? my last exam is tomorrow. then i'm done graduating... i didn't study. pretty sure i'll pass but.. i'm really scared of oral exams social anxiety nightmare.

>>9200 >oral exams

>>9193 i wish, but i am fucked even without medication

>>9193 i remember hoping i'd get medicated and then i got adhd meds and became fucking miserable now i just stick to caffeine man.. i don't even wanna know how i'd be like on antidepressants when i'm already awfully numb and unmotivated...

>>9195 if you aren't actively struggling with things like self harm or suicidal thoughts then i'd be skeptical of medication. i'm not saying to avoid them, i'm no doctor, but in my experience they're best for stabilizing you so you don't off yourself. i think things like proper sleep, proper diet, exercise, socialization, having fulfilling pastimes, etc are much more long-term solutions. remember that it takes a lot of small steps to travel long distances. praying for you hikarins.

>>9196 yeah i defo agree with that.. i do struggle with self harm but i think there's a different origin to that than depression, at least for me. i don't think i have the "classic" type of depression, if that makes sense? i do have depressive episodes, but i generally have an unstable mood. can go in the other direction too. i don't know, i might have bipolar.. or cptsd. i don't know. i'm not looking for advice or armchair diagnoses, i'm just thinking out loud. i should ask my psych at my next appointment... hoping though. never stop trying hikarins... there's awesomes in life if you know where to look for them

>>9190 I've been feeling like this recently too

>>9178 Give the games a try. You can start with Touhou 6 or Touhou 7, since 5 and earlier are for the PC-98 machines and require emulation (though you can start with those too if you want). For PC-98 I use DOXBox-X. Best PC98 games are definitely Touhou 4 and 5.

>>9187 https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Touhou_Wiki has all the information you could ask for The older Touhou games are not on steam and so you would have to order the game CD. You can find them on Moriya Shrine too Also, most Touhou games are actually fangames since the Touhou licensing allows for commercial use of fanmade content. The only official Touhou media is in the wiki I sent above

Zun still dominates the web 30 years after

>>9187 i'll take a look, thank you my goat emulation is not a problem for me so i might look at the older games as well

>>9178 start with the pc-98 games they're very easy to emulate. don't start with 6 you need to build your way up https://nyaa.si/view/1743332

>tfw no femboy concubines

>>9169 put me in one of those sexy chinese dresses and make me yours

>>9166 gross pervert. find god

>>9173 he's lost his god i hope he gets better asap though

>>9174 the only god I worship is hikarin cock and balls

>>9175 yeah honestly it's really weird and offputting. taken too far and shits up any thread it's started in.

though i like to make related jokes (in a light form) once in a while, i have to agree with OP. take anything too far and it stops being fun. people need to learn some basic humor principles or something

>>9098 It's been almost 4 years since the last time i ate cereal Moved out of my homeland to go live in another country, and i kid you not; i havent found cereal boxes being sold ANYWHERE

tried half water half milk with oatmeal to save money and it wasnt as nice, so i dare not risk having it will 100% water (not really cereal but kind of related)

>>9148 oats are a cereal in the more archaic use of the word so it still counts

cereal is sugary mothingness for children. avoid that shit if you're a grown adult

>>9132 Are you the same person from the textboard? I answered your thread, you said posting was banned in your country?

>>9104 go ahead!

>>9106 noooo

what do I pick if I don't want sex but I do want mutual hikarin fondling?

>>9111 this poll specifically isn't about fondling, but "N-not for your sake!" should do!

I am so happy with the results of this poll, hikarins!

I'm a 4cuck refugee who decided to settle here.

Who's been here since the site looked like this?

>>9084 glad to have you
