This is the place I work through unrelated phases of life for all to see and take away from. There are most definitely inconsistencies between posts, but that’s just an inevitable part of the growing process.
In lieu of a comment system, please send me an email, and I’ll either send a reply or post a response here for the common good.

☠️ the pirate's life
- I was reading a book on youth catechism, and a passage from the section on the 7th commandment (Thou shalt not steal) stuck out to me. And then the realization hit me like a freight train - I've built my entire workflow of pirated media! [...]
🈲 muh japanese studies (piracy draft)
- I am currently in possession of about 1000 mp3s, a dozen or so ebooks, and hundreds of hours of Japanese anime ripped from YouTube and peer to peer torrenting networks, and haven't paid a cent for any of it. I have built my lifestyle around the critical consumption of media that I plan to store to some capacity indefinitely on my personal hard drives (in full in the case of music and the books, speech only in the case of the anime).

incel 45 - what are your goals
- The incel has fallen into a rather dangerous train of thought - there's no point in socializing or talking to women because all the places his friends would take him to do those things automatically equates to women that aren't worth the effort. [...]

incel 43 - his people
- Will the incel know how to stop being a beta male when the time is right? He tells himself that he makes the choice not to associate with anyone of the opposite gender, but is he just deluding himself? [...]
music for simple living
- What is the role of music in the countryside? Hyper-developed and highly contextual genres like jazz seem to have no place, as those genres are renmants of the highly scaffolded society of which he or his ancestors consciously rejected, and constantly touch on themes of consumption and excess. [...]
incel 42 - the competition

peak innawoods tech

incel 41 - what will this lottery ticket buy me?
- Would the incel truly have any intention to be monogamous and faithful if he weren't socially handicapped? And if not, wouldn't that make his intention for seeking out someone as faithful as him inherently selfish? [...]
incel 40 - don't just do something; stand there!
- Extraordinary outcomes require extraordinary measures. Makes sense, right? Therefore, be proactive and do things that he wouldn't have thought to do before. But wait a minute. [...]
ode to radio
- I've been going out of my way recently to find new music, especially in lieu of social media and the mysterious Algorithm. One avenue I chose to take was local radio. The idea is simple: use my computer as a VCR of sorts to record local music programs that air at odd hours for later dissection. [...]

incel 39 - cumbrain
- The incel challenges himself to bring up other more big-brain topics to his therapy sessions. To accomplish this, he needs to do two things - minimize the instinct to simp and carefully take note of the thoughts and concerns that populate that now empty space in his mind. [...]
memes
- One unforseen consequence of cutting off the internet is that you experience a paradigm shift in how you spend your time. People like to follow the path of least resistance, so if a luxury like reddit meme pages or ASMR is all of a sudden harder to get a hold of, the most sustainable reaction would be to lessen or eliminate the importance of these luxuries in your life. [...]
backup
- I ended up nuking pacman trying to free up space, and I spent a week trying to fix it - only to give up and nuke my otherwise perfect Arch Linux installation. [...]

. by koronba

the American educational system
- I was sitting in a lackluster history class earlier this morning that nobody had cared enough to do the reading for, and that the teacher felt the need to monopolize with his irrelevant political takes, when I felt a sudden tinge of indignation and disillusionment at the state of higher education around me. [...]
incel 35 - herbivore men
- The incel is at a loss as to how to break the ice and become socially relevant. Does he ask her for help with the lesson of the day? Should he ask for her number? What pretense would he even have for asking? He wants to satiate his growing curiosity about her way of life and mannerisms. [...]
off grid return to monke - progress
-
What does a lifestyle of not having home internet and using a feature (read: dumb) phone as a daily driver look like?
Pros:
- I’m encouraged to go to bed at a reasonable time more often.
- I’ve been running more consistently due to having nothing better to do.
- I’m encouraged to hang out at school more to mooch off of free Wi-Fi, and with that comes social reinforcement to study and mindfulness about what websites I choose to browse in public.
- I find myself practicing music more without really trying due to easy access to practice rooms and not having to worry about bothering my neighbors and roommates.
- I’ve had less anxiety about being alone without YouTube videos to fill up that empty space. There’d be times I didn’t remotely care for anything in my feed, but still put on a video at random in hopes of getting in the mood, akin to opening the fridge 1000 times. Nowadays, I flip through the radio for a bit when I’m bored at my desk or put on my Japanese passive immersion when I’m bored doing menial chores.
- Social media and YouTube would have to be consoomed deliberately. I found myself giving up feed scrolling entirely instead of going through the trouble to stay up to date on content creators and influencers, and I usually don’t think too much of this until a bugman starts talking to me about pop culture.
Annoyances followed by solutions/adaptations:
[...]incel on the perc - 34
- The incel is convinced that taking stimulant medication while seeing someone would give him tunnel vision and make him get in his own way. When he thinks about his state of mind when off his medication, he is amazed at how little he thinks about women. [...]
incel 33 - stop cooming
- The incel has actually known the road to enlightenment, albeit uncomfortable and painfully unglamorous, for the past few months now and simply refuses to take it. [...]
incel 32 - the pope is bullying me
- The incel's default mode of conversation is to correct and judge people on what they're doing suboptimally in order to fit his viewpoint of the world. [...]
incel 31 - liabilities
- The incel recently hangs out with a friend of a friend, and the entire time, gets the impression he is actually babysitting her and walking on eggshells - with feelings of sheer boredom and disillusion at trying to converse and reach common ground. There is no bark - no bite at all - with normies. [...]
new website
-
I finally got around to setting up my own website and email service, in hopes of achieving a fraction of the aloofness and sovereignity of bill wurtz or Luke Smith. Jumping through the hoops was fun in its own right, and prospects were bright, until I got to thinking about what exactly would furnish the site. My original plan included transcriptions of my favorite underrepresented pieces of music, but a few search engine searches revealed how rigid and inescapable copyright laws were in the US and Japan. I could certainly get away with a Laxity piece or two, but there’s no sustainable source of content to be had there.
[...]incel 30 - I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING
- The incel is so deprived of affection that the slightest hint of generosity will set off a domino effect of both good and bad feelings. [...]
incel 29 - copium
- The incel could perhaps convince himself that he never wanted to consume product in the first place, put himself in positions where he doesn't have to think about consuming product. or even remind himself of the opportunity cost of consuming product and instead have something to show for it. [...]
incel 28 - bad RNG

- List of the incel's intrusive thoughts when dealing with women: [...]
incel 26 - shit taste
- Could the incel really enhance a member of the opposite sex's life? Just by being himself? [...]
Luke Smith
- I'm letting some conservative indo-european elitist in the woods influence me into nerfing my cell phone, frantically memorizing the keyboard shortcuts of his custom Linux distribution, and focusing my efforts into living the better part of my life in the rural countryside. Granted, most of these ideas have been part of larger life movements. [...]
incel 25 - the rumor come out
- When the incel tries to imagine himself in a relationship, he instinctively feels that he would be wasting their time and that sooner or later, they'd find fault with him and find someone else that can better satisfy their needs. Yet another part of him feels like he is doing those around him a favor by not rocking the boat. [...]
incel 24 - just git gud
- I just don't think I'm the right person for you; you'd probably get bored of me really quickly. You always looked really busy, like you didn't has time or interest in women [...]
incel 23 - move the goalposts
- The incel misses 100% of the shots he doesn't take, but why should he want to play basketball in the first place? He can play other sports and have fun in his own way that is true to his values. [...]
incel 22 - self destruction
- In an effort to ensure that the incel doesn't get too emotionally close to any one woman, he keeps his distance and chooses his battles sparingly, guaranteeing him failure. [...]
off the grid (no internet)
-
Why did I want to go off the grid?
Deep inside, there was this inclination that suffering through something no one else would dare do would in itself make me better than those around me. When friends and family would give me strange looks, that would only fuel my desire to follow the project through. On a more practical note, I felt that I would be able to unlock my true potential by ridding myself of the biggest distractor in my life.
[...]incel 21 - socratic questioning
- Why don't you ask someone out? Why wouldn't they say yes? Why would people think you're a creep? Why don't you try speaking to people and making eye contact? Why do you care about making mistakes and what other people think of you? Why do you think you know what people want? Why do you compare yourself to others? Why wouldn't you make anyone happy? [...]
incel 20 - depression
- The incel doesn't have any close female friends, and that's the first mundane step towards getting a partner. Step one is to see women as human beings and give them a chance to present their case. In actuality, there's probably a lot of women he could relate to and aid in their life story, but he always dismisses them in his head as normies and aliens before he hears a single word. [...]

- What do I take away from having gotten my radio license? Why did I get the license in the first place? [...]
10 reasons to stay away from social media
-
Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat – the zoomer to boomer playgrounds freshly tilled and kindly bestowed to us by rich businessmen and their acres and acres of sweet server farmland. Increased communication has been and will continue to be the driving force for civilization, yet I’ve chosen to go off the deep end – well, not completely. The thirty day repent period that based Z u c c gives you after deactivating has finally elapsed, so as of today, the only account I hold in a centralized media platform is Reddit, which is serving as a nicotine patch for dank may-mays. Why don’t I have any social media accounts? After some thought, here are some patterns I’ve noticed that even the most avid of you users should relate to.
[...]incel 19 - self hatred
- The incel's social life is a constant cycle of a member of the opposite sex being a decent human being towards him, developing feelings for said person, doing nothing, reaching the end of his correspondence with said person, lamenting that he didn't do anything - and he hates himself because of it. [...]
incel 18 - why bother
- The incel sees no reason to have a platonic relationship with a girl. [...]
incel 17 - you go first
- The incel can never be 100% certain that someone is into him, so there’s always the chance he inconveniences someone else with feelings they didn’t expect or want to deal with. That, in turn, can taint his image and automatically ruin his prospects with everyone in that specific social setting, playing out like a demented game of Minesweeper. [...]
incel 16 - codependency
- The incel secretly pines for his own depressed, suicidal girl to knock at his doorstep and sweep him off his feet. [...]
incel 15 - ffs move on
- The incel chooses to reopen his fixation not on the people themselves, but his projected image of the ideal partner loosely based on them that sprouts legs. [...]
incel 14 - eye contact
- The incel imagines being so clingy and socially starved that he could very easily fall in love with anyone that is polite enough to give him the time of day. [...]
incel 13 - mental gymnastics
- “I’m falling behind and there’s nothing I can do about it” vs “I haven’t had a reason to start a relationship, and I still don’t and that’s OK” [...]
incel 12 - dirty jokes
- The incel never grew out of the schoolboy phase. In grade school, women are compared and coveted, yet so alien that there’s no reason to be friends with them. [...]
incel 11 - stay in your lane
- That random dude has done something the incel has never done - be considered worthy of someone's intimacy, but he will always end up being the loser that way. [...]
incel 10 - sociopathy
- The dissonance between the kind of person she is versus how easily the incel opens up to her makes him worry about his inner BS filter that he counts on. [...]
incel 9 - inaction
- Why doesn't the incel ask the people he likes out?
ham radio
- I struggle to find a place in my life for HAM radio. Every job that I can conjure for a radio can be done much cheaper and more conveniently with the internet. [...]
incel 8 - values
- The incel's personality as it stands is mutually and inevitably incompatible with the concept of dating and giving himself so openly to someone else. [...]
incel 7 - niche
- The incel is circlejerking to an audience who is patient enough to put up with his schtik & who are perhaps in the same mental purgatory of social irrelevancy. [...]
incel 6 - vibes
- Those whom the incel thinks are accessible and within his rank usually lack this little sparkle and visibly want nothing to do with dating or relationships. [...]
incel 5 - projecting
- The incel is fixated on the idea of seeing the people he most cares about and identifies with score with as many girls as possible. [...]
incel 4 - apathy
- You can't trick girls into coming to you. They can sniff a desperate, manipulative person a mile off. Just doesn't care either way... but also, get out more. [...]
incel 3 - empathy
- Does the incel have the ability to love? What raises his suspicion the most is looking back at random thoughts and exchanges with people over the years. [...]
incel 2 - cereal and puzzles
- Companies are incentivized to discontinue any cereal brands in purgatory as the real crowd pleasers take the stage. The incel is not entitled to find customers. [...]
incel 1 - self improvement
- The incel is single because he doesn't put the effort into not being single. This is what he decides to tell people when the topic comes up. [...]
