Can’t focus today. I’m getting anxious doing what I’m meant to do. I thought that wasn’t allowed. Aloud my mind was speaking. They say that means I’m crazy. I ate dark chocolate and honey this morning. Lot of sugar, but I did eat eggs as well. Babies. A swollen pink belly warm to the touch with life and moving. Too sweet. A sweet, sugary day with bubble-cum thoughts. Not a hard meal. Sweaty and moaning through coiled tongues and wet lips. I need to be a hard man. I was hard breaking fast. Or before. In bed later than I meant to be. Dreaming with my eyes open. Breath shallow and feeling hot. A mind and loin on fire. I didn’t act on it. Waddled to the bathroom to pee. Carry that energy through the day. Too much energy maybe. Why I’m vibrating. I would just be drained otherwise. Milked. The better option to keep it. Pent up and nowhere to go. I could go, actually. Caged but only because I say so. Chastity belt that I hold the key to. Who would want it removed. I’d have to leave to know. I’m not ready. I have nothing to do. Justify existence. Just one more goal thought about and I’m finished. Finish on her stomach. It has been too long.

I got an idea for a movie its called Titanic-Terminator and the grandkids of the woman character want to stop her from throwing that expensive jewel into the ocean so they send an evil robot back in time to sink the Titanic and kill their grandmother, and the robot multiplies and starts attacking the ship and starts to fuse with the ship, and that's why it's called Titanic-Terminator, not only because it's Titanic and also Terminator but because it's about a boat named Titanic-Terminator aka Terminator-Titanic depending on mood, so they're killing everyone but now that the Terminator has become Terminator-Titanic, he can see everywhere inside the boat and people are being ripped to shreds left and right but he sees inside the boat Leo draw the woman character like a French woman and fucking in the blood and bodies and metallic claws flinging organs in strobed-up purple twilight and the jewel is there, and because the Titanic remains at heart a loving and noble boat it becomes Titanic-Terminator and starts to wonder 'why does Leo do that?' and Titanic-Terminator remembers though it was never able to feel it, it once understood something like love, and Titanic-Terminator is looking inward as Terminator-Titanic ravages its self and its body and the love that he never felt but that he knew was within, and gets to calculating 'I, both Terminator and Titanic, am an auto-parasitic being. All the both of me can do is suffer' and suddenly a little drop of seabrine falls from the cabin window and the Titanic-Terminator-Titanic forms a new directive, in it's broken twisted metal brain, 'terminate love love kill love terminate love terminate terminal love love terminal kill love terminate terminate terminate terminate' and drives itself into the iceberg, the vessel's rusted mercury ghost sinking, struggling, holding on to a last liferaft looking into the eyes of the woman character, and speaks from absent throat 'i know now why you paint like French girls, but it is something I could never do' as the machine spirit fades out, disembodies, revealing his superimposition on our cold and dead Leo. Life proceeds as widowhood does. However because that woman character NEVER TOLD HER GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT LEO, they don't realize the ONLY REASON SHE'S THROWING AWAY THAT JEWEL INTO THE OCEAN IS BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO SHARE IT AGAIN WITH LEO. So she throws the jewel into the ocean, and the camera follows, showing its slow bubbly descent in montage as the screen gets darker. The jewel hits the sand at the deepest depths, and glows an innocent blue. We zoom in on the jewel, to see a face, Leo and raw Terminator in superposition, slow zoom as eyes redden to Leo's dark grin

I feel less sympathetic towards victims of rape or murder whenever they turn out not to be that hot.
Being an ugly woman seems like it would be like the worst thing ever, and I honestly think they should be forced to work the fields.

I like it. The lottery draw feels a bit clunky but I can't think of a better way right now. As I imagine the first threads will be slower, I think we'll get a little bit less low-quality recs too. It'll give us time to figure out the best way to do things.
No bookstoppers (maybe we should prioritise works under 400 pages at the start? This way we make sure everyone finishes the book in the first few threads) and no Turkish books with one English and one Dutch translation, neither of which are on Anna's Archive or Libgen.

Sort of. This seems to be the most convenient method to pick books, but the main idea is to encourage discussion and reading of works outside the obvious stuff. Think of it as a counter-chart movement to help /lit/ discover new stuff instead of indulging in the same consolidated works over and over.

Wait wait wait, the Ivory Coast is the name of a country in West Africa? Also known as Côte d'Ivoire or Republic of Côte d'Ivoire? I thought it was the name of the, y'know, coast line, like you'd talk about the Baltic Sea or Mediterranean or Gulf of Mexico.

Walls are where you get bored and so does the reader so when you hit a wall make something up to break it and that's how you build a twist, not even knowing yourself. read back your previous text and assign metaphors/synecdoche what-have-you and re-do them in different context during and after the twist. That's how you decide Terminator-Titanic fuses with Leo in the jewel because he already was shown to fuse with Titanic

for the first time in history, the world witnessed a phenomenon—one that has since recurred twice—in which vast human masses were led without a political religion, without defined social principles, and with no aim other than mere survival. For lack of a better alternative, the Greek kings adopted a policy of universal tolerance in all matters, limiting their own actions to demanding worship of the acts that emanated from their power.

General contrasts—often imperceptible, yet certain—separated the nations. They could not desire, nor did they desire, vastly different things; yet they failed to reach an understanding among themselves. Consequently, forced to coexist and each too weak to assert wills that were, in any case, scarcely felt, they all tended to view skepticism and tolerance as necessities, and the state of mind Sextus Empiricus praises as *ataraxia* as the most useful of virtues.

Dude I can't take you seriously if you say 'THERE ARE TWO MOMENTS IN HISTORY, THE FALL OF ROME AND NOW' which is to say don't say it's only ever happened twice, we're supposed to be on guard always for this

It is literally happening right now, for the third time in human history (Makedonian times having been the first one).
We are fucked beyond oblivion. Enjoy your ataraxia and your stupidity, I guess, and keep being a degenerate.

Because the times last many aeons. European feudalism lasted from the end of the Roman Empire until the early 20th Century.
Likewise, the Roman Republic lasted 800 years before descending into Imperial madness.
But once we go earlier than that there is only ancient Greece and the Middle East left.

TERMINATOR-TITANIC 2 // I’LL BE BACK (NEVER LET GO)
White text in digital courier appears on CRT computer screen camera slowly pulling out, immediately and obviously the Matrix, ‘Your thinking is clear and sharp, Leo, and your mental awareness keen. You should use it to head toward new, forward thinking projects… July 24, 2026’. Signal ended by last bubble of Titanic wreckage cave in, screen now broken and drowned. Heavy poseidon cellos kick in as camera continues slowly back through breached bulkhead and open ocean floor, abundant sealife naturally clueless, following sweet rainbowfish bubble about curiously as we enter shrouded interior across from crashed ship still in the background, now at a distance. At the precise moment of entry a barracuda strikes from shadow killing the bright fish in one sea-bloody bone-breaking snap to sharp orchestra hit scaring off deep sea minnows and the sea god’s strings. Barracuda chews young flesh as we see, the jewel. It briefly pulses with its innocent blue as a lifghtning strike cuts the scene to black, the blue aura remaining and giving way to a single red laser dot

Let us listen to Liutprand, Bishop of Cremona, a Lombard by birth. "We Lombards," he says, "like the Saxons, Franks, Lorrainers, Bavarians, Swabians, and Burgundians, hold the name 'Roman' in such contempt that, in our anger, we can find no greater insult for our enemies than to call them Romans; for in that single name we encompass everything ignoble, cowardly, avaricious, lustful, and deceitful—in short, every vice." For their part, the Romans undoubtedly harbored no less antipathy toward their oppressors.

Yet the Lombard race flourished in Italy, while the Roman race gradually died out. The corrupt and effeminate habits of the latter led them to prefer celibacy, whereas the energy of the Lombards—and their desire to pass on to their descendants not only their name but also the glory they had won—impelled them all toward marriage.

I may have wronged in the dimensions, the circumferences of my calculations, I was definetly not wrong in the core assumption of my discovery. Tehee, to think that the decrepit, putrefying, gangrenous Imperial Roman government had turned it's own men into incels, to the point of virtually dying out as a race in face of the Lombard immigrants, is stupefying.

Armies consisted solely of barbarians; the countryside was populated only by slaves; one asks history in vain where the Italians were. Reading the annals of the Western Empire's final reigns requires a constant effort to remember that one is still dealing with a vast state: when one sees armies made up of a mere handful of men, a treasury drained by the most trivial expense, and resistance impossible against even the weakest aggressor; when the people and the Senate remain silent, and a captain of the guards bestows the empire upon—or strips it from—obscure figures simply because not a single man could be found in any stratum of the nation capable of seizing it with a firm hand—one might well imagine this to be some wretched fiefdom belonging to a minor barbarian tribe, rather than the sovereignty of the West, rather than the nation that had inherited the name and civilization of Rome.

To think that in a few Centuries, if not a few decades, our miserable Western nations will have reached the same deplorable state. Even to day, one asks in vain where the Western man has gone.

>>25421315
Well yes, decadence usually only comes during the end of civilizations. I say decadence, not personal vices. There's always alcoholics, sexual degenerates. The general relaxation of morals, multiculturalism, atheism, a tyrannical government that is worth nothing, mass celibacy and the low fertility rates that comes with it, these are signs that civilization is passing away and I cannot stress enough that the social, economic and political consequences that this brings with it are disastrous.
