i joined the gymnasium today. i joined the corporate one at the mall because it is a better location for me than the YMCA. i was warned by my dietitian that they upsell hard. boy howdy was she understating it. i show up and i'm like yeah i want to sign up monthly, no training or anything i just want to run for now. so she takes me over to a table to fill out the paperwork.

first she gives you a copy of the owner's book, which has his life philosophy about fitness and shit. it's like a full 200-page book and it looks extra terrible. she then started into her spiel and i keep interrupting to be like look, no, i don't want all this measuring shit and health planning and such, i've already taken the tour, just sign me up. anyway each time i did this she got increasingly angrier. then i realized she is required to do the whole spiel about every aspect of their services or whatever verbatim. so she compromised by reciting it as fast as she could. it was really really dumb. like she was speaking so fast i could hardly understand, but i didn't care that i couldn't, and she looked wildly angry while doing it. then she tried to get me to fill out forms naming my friends and i was like no i'm not doing that lady come on. she said, since you're not working full time i recommend the $150 training package and i was like i'm not doing training. Not Doing Training Now. then she gave me a cheap-ass gym bag and i was like i don't even want this, i have like ten random bags at home. and she didn't understand, she was like "you're not taking the bag???"

hahaha it was so silly. anyway it was also extremely cheap ($30 a month) so whatever.



you should have been more sympathetic and told her if anyone asked you'd say she went through the whole contractually obliged spiel

ah you have underestimated both my compassion and their corporate insanity. i had prepared to say this but her boss was watching her closely and she gave a continuous flow of not-so-discreet signals to him about my responses to various questions.

if i become rich, perhaps by writing articles for the baffler or something, i will create a vanity NGO that will hire people here in a job of their design with a title of our mutual agreement. i would suggest roseweird choose "high priestess".

Having read parts of it a second time i'm gonna say it, My Twisted World by Elliot Rogers is the most definitive Western text of this decade.

'his period of my life, aside from my early childhood in England, was one of the best periods. Life was fair and life was satisfying. As kids, proving our self-worth and gaining validation among our peers was achieved in a fair manner, by how good we were at the games we played, or how big our collection of Pokemon cards were. No one had unfair advantages. This was perfect, and this is how life should be '



This is a 22 year old man remember, completely unable to reconcile a competitive and unpredictable world with a moral code created and coddled by games and fantasy and allowed to grow by absent or unhelpful parents.

rape culture and male entitlement certainly have some truth to them, yet they seem to be deployed as a rhetorical dead end and a way to shut down conversation.

But behind all that: What is a sheltered, shy boy to do? Join the army? research 'game' and 'red pill truths'? research and reject 'game' on PUAhate? Join an incel forum? Bend over backwards to internalize feminist principles and denounce other men for their transgressions?

There are millions of Elliot Rogers out there, what is to become of them?

I think a greater problem for him than being a 'sheltered, shy boy' was that he was deeply autistic. As such none of those things would have helped him. For a normal sheltered, shy boy, maybe joining some activities or clubs or groups or whatever and learning how to socialize and come out of his shell instead of that dumb stuff you mentioned.

this is probably my balkan barbarianism, but has anyone done any type of study of the frequency of this asperger style mild autism across countries/cultures? i suspect that there has to be social aspect to its development, because i have honestly yet to meet this specific type of weirdo outside the united states
