Your post is mostly defending reading the book rather than really advocating it. 4chan will always say what upsets you. You invite it. Buddha was an Indian and no one says anything about Buddhist threads

I'd rather read the Autobiography of Yogi Berra

>>24784516
I haven’t read all of it — just 100 pages or so, but eventually I’ll finish it. Yeah man it’s a super good read… it’s interesting how many supernatural masters there are in it? Isn’t there some man who’s able to levitate? Or someone who comes back from the dead or something?

Frankly there is a part of me that thinks eastern spirituality is just far deeper… sure the west is “smarter,” but there really seem to have been some Hindu masters who achieved enlightenment. Ramana Maharishi seems to have. Neem Karoli Baba might have really had special powers.

I guess I’ll just say that yeah it’s a gateway to better texts. It’s worth reading the texts but it really is no small feat that these men gave up their lives to mediate constantly. I think renouncing the physical word does give you a sort of peace. But it is interesting how the saddhu is supported in India? Anyway yeah.

>I happen to like white girls.
You say this as if it was something rare, when pinkos by a wide margin are only interested in other pinkos
>it was only white girls, and I mean -ONLY- white girls that cared for animals.
How many of it is done as a way to gain good boy points though
>How they whip and beat donkeys all across north africa.
True, but you have to admit white pepo can love animals way too much, the whole furbaby stuff for example. I remember I read some ancient guy talking about the romans if I'm remembering correctly, and how their women would not have children and instead would raise and pamper monkeys and other animals as their offspring. Sounds familiar?

>>24784276
No actually, I don't think they do it just to their advantage. I think the only reason you've gotten away with slandering them as Karens for so long is because they're genuinely nice people, who take the shit you say at face value. It's a way for you people to virtue signal too, go along and care for animals. If you can, that turkroach Hasan Piker couldn't even resist shock collaring and abusing his dog on stream, I doubt you'd last a week before breaking the wings of a small bird. The single claw of a dog is worth the life of 1,000 people who would abuse animals. The English in particular take great offense to animal abuse.

You don't think I'm close to non-whites too? We live in demographic replacement countries after all, and we're forced into the same environments. Do you really think a brown girl hasn't vented to me about how Steve Jobs and Bill Gates didn't actually come from poor families and had nepotism? Dumping all this information on me in a longpost, whining about how social mobility is a myth? You think white people don't see Indians worship tech billionaires like gods? You think I haven't said "don't people in your country get married younger?" (based on a statistical fact) and the person in question just dismissively going "Oh that's just for poor people". Never heard a white person shrug off and say that's for the poors. I might online, but even I wouldn't IRL.

You want to prove me wrong? Work to take these anti-white books off the library bookshelves, speak up about how white people don't deserve this treatment.

In what part of my post didn't I even alluded to this?
>go along and care for animals
I personally don't care for it, but my dad and sister rescue animals
The rest of your post is pure seethe so I'm not going to address it. I'm guessing you think I said all of that in bad faith because I call white people pinkos
>Work to take these anti-white books off the library bookshelves, speak up about how white people don't deserve this treatment.
We don't really have those in my country, same with the racial grifting, people have tried to do it but it doesn't stick up here and its quickly dismissed

This but the opposite.

What else would I like if I liked Aickman's brand of subtle horror more than the "woahh it has like a million eyes and a billion teeth and omfg I'm going cuhrayzeee!" brand of horror that is popular nowadays?

For older, M.R. James, for newer, Reggie Oliver. You could also check out Walter de la Mare for another older author, but I found his prose dry and difficult to get through.

Advice for you anon. Never get on the internet again. Move to a smaller town, dress like Boromir, spend 7 hours a day chopping wood, join the fire department and adopt some stray animals.

Definitely wings. I'm pretty sure it was at least implied, if not outright stated, that the balrog had wings.

It's not stated, the description is kind of nebulous and the question of whether it had wings or not has been a contentious one among Tolkien nerds.

Balrogs have wings because it harkens back to classic infernal demons. End of.

That's Greek

>>24782359
Again, still a lot of wiggle room for different criteria and definitions.
>>24783079
If you define "Greek" as including every work from Homer on down even if it's completely incomprehensible to a modern speaker without prior study, maybe. But that's like including everything from the Roman Kingdom on down as Italian.

>>24783934
you’d need huge differences in criteria to turn 120,000 into 600,000.

Hopefully that means someone will want my books when I die. Not that I have anything of particular value but it would be nice if one or two can find a home and they all don't get pulped.
