How effay are my gifts

>>12055675
Why do chicks always want hardcover books?

I give my books to people I know when I finish them because I'm not a hoarding asshole.

>>12055674

>>12055787
What's actually having a long relationship like? I can't imagine buying a chick something. I only have 2-6 month relationships. I bought myself a new mechanical keyboard and Machiavellis The Prince though. The Prince is a good read so far.

>>12055800
m'lady must like it as you profess your everlasting live for her

t'will burn forever more

your love for the maiden shall live on and wax ever strongly

>>12055806
I bought my mechanical keyboard so I can type even faster. Plus I like how loud it is.

It's like having a moleskin notebook for your computer. It makes everything you type seem more important.

>>12055621

This.

Still don't know what I should get her. I hate this holiday but I go along with it every year.

I wanted to get her some enamel pins for her jackets but each one is $10 and then an additional $6 for S & H. So I can get her maybe four pins before I max out her $60 gift limit.

Anyone have gift recs? She likes cutesy lolita and schoolgirl stuff but occasionally goes punk with combat boots and shit, I was thinking patches for a jacket might be good for that. Pic related is kind of her average day to day outfit.

>Girlfriend

I gave her up once I figured that I could live without her, I'd rather be single and date and have sex with as many women as I can before I fully commit to another person. I still haven't found a person I genuinely love since High School.

>>12055835

Bitch what if my boy doesn't want to live a fucking cookie cutter life like a fucking 50s sitcom

why does a chick deserve his love?

I ask chicks this and they never have a fucking answer. Like what do you bring to the table?

Patrice O'neal called it hard in one of his specials. He asked chicks gow they would keep their man if they didn't have a pussy. The girls called out that they'd do anal or give blowjobs. One even said she'd get a pussy transplant. None of them said they'd watch his shows or do things he liked to do. They just defined themselves as a series of holes.

I'm in the process of making a nice little gift basket for her. Stuffed with her favorite candies and similar things like fuzzy socks.

Working off a $0.00 budget here, but managing pretty well. feels good to have someone to give gifts to senpai

I got my GF a rare model sega saturn for her birthday in November, and for xmas I'm getting her a couple rare saturn games (about $200 each) as well as an arcade stick for the system.

She doesn't want me or anyone else buying her anything /fa/ related.

I bought gifts for my boyfriend, but he said he doesn't know what to get me, and I don't know what to wish for.
I hate having to make wishlists, like, I just want people to give me small little things that they a) think I'll enjoy or b) would enjoy seeing on me or c) makes them think of me

Useless rant, I know, I just always get really stressed out about Christmas because I put in so much time and effort into getting people gifts and then I have to put in a bunch of extra time and effort for my own gifts because everyone hates buying gifts for me

>>12056132
I know how you feel but there are things I'd like to be gifted sometimes. Last year I showed my boyfriend like 20 things I wanted and he was just kind of like "uh I don't know, that's not very sentimental" to all of them and then I felt frustrated and not sure what to ask for and then on Christmas morning he had gotten me everything I asked for, what a sweetie.

>>12056105
thanks man
>>12056132
iktfb. but my stupid sister INSISTS on everyone in the family making wishlists AND she makes everyone buy her shit from her wishlist to make sure she gets what she wants but doesn't want to spend her own money on. like, shut up and enjoy christmas you vapid cunt.

fuck this shit I just want an electric kettle for my dorm. My family already spends so much on my upkeep.

>>12055472
A shirt that says "pussy whipped"
She wished for it for the double takes (also she's the nicest little sub so it fits)

>>12055800
This looks like the background to a 1940s Disney cartoon tbqh

>>12056138
Hah, I wish my boyfriend was like that. He got me nothing on my birthday this year, even when I spent all my leftover money on his birthday, and spent like a whole day making the cake he wanted.

The problem is that I have a shit ton of things I want (I think I have like 500+ links of things I've saved from all around the internet, makeup, clothes, shoes etc etc) but I can't really send someone a list of all that junk and expect them to go through it.

>>12056142
Well, does she buy people gifts? Because in that case she spends money as well, so I guess it kinda evens it out?
Otherwise she's just a cunt

>>12056184
why the fuck not, im sure he won't mind. if he didnt buy anything for your bday, if he's any kind of person with a heart he'll want to get you something for christmas instead! so give him a huge list or like, i dunno, chop off the first ten and give him those.

>>12056184
>Well, does she buy people gifts? Because in that case she spends money as well, so I guess it kinda evens it out?
she does but it's really annoying when you water it all down to buying stuff off everyone's wishlists, without putting thought into it. idk maybe I'm just nitpicking but this is a level of consumerism that I can't tolerate.

>>12056042

I like buying people hardcover books for their birthday or Christmas. It just generally looks nicer. My friends that inhale books are just going to get a bunch of worn paperbacks from a second hand shop, but that's a bit more based on the individual. While I give books I've already finished to people too, I wouldn't qualify that as a gift.

On topic, I bought my gf a bunch of baking books and stuff for cake decorating, since she's been trying to get into that recently. Might as well humour her. I also bought her a wool toque since she keeps stealing mine. And some stupid little things I think she might find amusing. I make batches of jam and preserves too, but that's usually for other people. We always share whatever I decide to keep.

There are no examples of true altruism in nature anywhere. Every animal is acting in perceived self interest at all times, even if it is in their best interest to help others.

Find me a single example of someone acting completely selflessly, with no goal of gaining pleasure or preventing pain

>>12056408
I'm also almost 100% sure which example you're going to bring up

>>12056417
>>12056424
what do you mean "selflessly"? does the feeling of satisfaction count towards "gaining pleasure" or "acting in perceived self interest"?

>>12056430
Yes, feelings of satisfaction and self-betterment count

>>12056434
well that goes beyond the common understanding of hedonism and I have to admit your point.

you can also caress one's hair with the most delicate touch, and in that caress would be all the love that person could ever want in the world

if you can't satisfy a person with small gifts that contain personal meaning, I don't think that person deserves any gifts

Quang Duc was protesting the South Vietnamese government's persecution of Buddhists, a persecution that was destroying the lives of Buddhists, including himself. Not only was he sacrificing himself for a cause that personally benefited him and the people he wanted to see happy, but he was also removing himself from a pained way of living. He clearly decided that to die for this cause would ultimately bring him less pain than accepting the alternative

>>12056417
people seem to think its natural to be an asshole all the time for no reason, but can't fathom just being nice for no reason?
have you really never witnessed someone compliment another or cover the next guy's coffee and just be on their way?
does the thought to be a nice person cross your mind occasionally and you proceed to do the opposite just to maintain some ridiculous philosophy you've adopted?

>>12055472

I need some recommendations to get a good friend of mine. We always get each other gifts but she's hard to shop for because she's a pretty basic white girl.

Was thinking go generic and get a scarf cuz winter but I have no idea what type of scarves girls like

>>12059476
I try to be nice to others whenever I can! But there is ALWAYS a reason to be nice. The most common one is that it feels good to be nice. It makes you happy. You can also be nice because religion tells you you will be rewarded for it. You can also be trying to get on someone's good side or make a friend.

>>12059488
Being overly nice comes off as fake and makes you feel uneasy because the person is doing it for ulterior motives. Just like when someone offers you candy or anything for free in prison

>>12056241
thats nice anon, good for you.

>>12059504
...correct, which is why I find a middle ground. Being overly nice isn't in your best interest, so if you recognize that you are being overly nice you try to stop, unless you have some ulterior motive. That's called being a socially intelligent person

>>12059488
i dont think acts of kindness inherently lead to feeling good. it can be as impersonal as making a rude comment.
the good feeling you get is when your kindness is reciprocated with a smile or perhaps if the person seemed down, then you get the good feeling from patting yourself on the back

>>12059531
It doesn't matter if it actually ends up leading to feeling good, that's like saying that buying a lottery ticket isn't actually a selfish act because it doesn't inherently lead to winning the lottery. You act nice in the HOPE that it will be reciprocated in whatever way you like.

>>12059553
Give me an example of a good deed that in no way begets pleasure or prevents pain

>>12059560
you have this weird idea that i'm talking about some specific deed that's an exception to your rule. i actually mean that you can perform any good deed without caring about the outcome.
now you probably wouldn't donate a kidney to someone and not care, but you might return someone's lost wallet just because

>>12059576
I am asking for an example not because I think you have one in mind, I just want to hear what you think doesn't quality as a self-centered act and why.

When you find a lost wallet with cash in it, you weigh the pleasure of keeping the money in it against the guilt of doing what you consider to be a bad thing. You either keep it because you decide that will ultimately make you happier, or you return it because you decide that will ultimately make you happier.

Kekd. Ty.

>>12059588
im not sure if we're talking about the same thing anymore. what i'm trying to say is that these scenarios are possible (not neccisarily likely):

a) you might keep the wallet and not give a second thought about the other schmuck

b) you return the wallet thinking that keeping someones pocket change is no more appealing than saving them the trouble of cancelling cards and getting a new license

>>12059623
But my grudge is against that second scenario. If you truly were neutral to the situation, you would leave the wallet where you found it. To take it upon yourself to return the wallet you need motivation, and motivation is the product of NEED. I am posing that NEED comes from the desire of pleasure and/or the fear of pain.

>>12059632
is the first scenario not just the inverse of the second?
i guess i am trying to argue that you can feel indifferent to leaving the wallet there, stealing it, or returning it. that you can just do something without caring how the wallet-less person feels, and in fact, without internal debate as to how you'll feel in the end.
certainly this is not the case for yourself, but there's a whole world full of people out there anon

>>12059650
We clearly know that keeping the wallet is fueled by the desire to have. You are trying to say that returning the wallet can be fueled by indifference, but I am saying it has to be fueled by either the guilt of keeping it or the pleasure of doing a "good thing" and returning it

I'm also not claiming that you have to actively work through this debate in your head. It can be a completely instantaneous or instinctual process, it's just how we've evolved to think.

>>12059657
this seems to be going through the same cycle of retorts.

perhaps the example of returning a wallet has complicated things too much. imagine i'm at a cafe, and for absolutely no reason whatsoever, i hand the cashier 20 dollars to cover whatever the next customer will order, and walk out with my drink. you'll likely say that i want to feel good about myself for making this guy's day, but maybe the guy is a jerk that will harass the cashier. knowing this possibility, i still paid for his drink

If it's that reasonable to burn yourself, why isn't it practiced more?

>>12059588
what if someone lives by a selfless morality? Sure he thinks about benefits of anything he does, but what if he does something completely irrational, like burn the wallet? He then thinks fuck why did I do that and feels either really bad or somehow feels really good. We are in some way self-destructive and do all sorts of things, not just the ones that benefit us. Some people choose to be miserable. And many do that so others can be happier. Society functions when people do both, self centered and selfless acts.

I remember when I was 19, reading Nietzsche, discovering Nihilism, reading edgy philosophy and subscribing to the same smug philosophy you do.
You'll grow out of it one day.

If you want an example of pure altruism: My parents are Orthodox Serbs living in Bosnia. During the war they helped random ass Muslim soldiers and civilians, by giving them food and shelter at the risk of their own lives.
They got nothing in return. Quite the opposite, they endangered our whole family to help human beings in need.
Sure, you could say they did it to feel good, but endangering your kids is never a good feeling.

But go ahead, tell me why my parents were on a hedonistic pursuit. I know you will, because when I was an edgy teen, I'd have done the same.

>>12063887
> are Orthodox Serbs
>Orthodox

You just ruined your own example. There is nothing wrong religious, but it'd be stupid to pretend that it isn't hedonistic. The entire premise of Christianity is that if you act good and saint-like in life you will be rewarded with eternal bliss in the afterlife, and I directly addressed that before.

I am not trying to say that what your parents did wasn't great and that they shouldn't take pride in it. Not at all. Humans just do not act in any interest other than their own, even if it appears to be a wholly selfless act

Also if you ever actually read Nietzsche you would know he is completely anti-nihilism.

>>12064146
>maybe if i read into it enough i can pull the opinion out of my ass that nietzsche was actually anti-nihilist to show what a neat contrarian i am lol

>>12064157
Fella. Nietzsche spent most of his writing career defining nihilism and how to overcome it, because he saw it as a threat to his society. This is not contrarianism, this is truth. Anyone who calls themselves a "nihilist" and claims to worship Nietzsche is horribly misinformed

Nietzsche wasn't a nihilist, you >>12064157
know?
But that doesn't make >>12064146
him right because his parents didn't do it because the religion taught them to. You could argue they did it because they would want to be protected if they were in their situation. But when they were helping them, the hope that the good deed might reciprocate doesn't weigh out the risk. People sometimes do what may seem like irrational things. And it's not just rooted in the christian belief of justice.

>>12064257
But that's what I've been trying to say. it isn't about the ACTUAL risk and/or chance of reciprocation—it's about the PERCEIVED risk. That is where inherent notions of karma, or religious reward, or any sort of "what goes around comes around" thinking comes into play. Humans think in that way quite often. Even the most ridiculous of chances could be perceived as worth it.

>>12063485
I don't care if you tell her in private, but coming out and saying you've been cheating (even though she cheated first) while surrounded by people that are definitely going to side with her is just going to end badly for you

>>12064157

It's nice to read something about relationships that isn't cheap cynicism. I've been with someone for a while (3 years) and it still feels "honeymoon phase". Sure, things were a little more magical and mysterious when everything was new and there were family/friends to meet, and things to learn about her, but I still feel nervous and excited to every time we meet as you describe it.
