Victor was a pussy for not inserting a hot lesbian sex scene with Eponine and Cosette.

>>24945423ever watch one of those nature shows where they have bugs cage fighting each other to the death?
>>24944962Hugo really didn't do her justice. She's basically not even a character anymore after the convent timeskip. If Dumas wrote Les Mis, we would've had 600 pages of comfy kid Cosette and JVJ adventures

I'm an NPC retard who's trying to break free from social programming. Recommend me 1 (ONE) book that will help me become smarter.It could be anything, but preferably non-fiction, with no flowery bullshit prose I won't understand on the first read, and something that deals with modern problems.
>>24944763You can't think yourself out of your condition. You have to act your way out of it.
>>24945783>completely changed who I wasCare to elaborate how? It's just that I also read it recently (out of NFU, C&P and Idiot I enjoyed this one the most), and felt that something had changed in my previously more utilitarian judgement to a more, (how can I say it?) morally concerned outlook on life? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Every time I hear insane passages from Jewish and Muslim holy books they are always countered with>muh translation it means something completely different >oh you found hundreds of examples of that same word being used in that context… well not in THIS case>w-wait look at this over verse here that contradicts what you pointed out? haha, didn’t you know this is verse is more powerful than your verse because im brown>also you need to understand that it was fine in the cultural context and we don’t take it literally anymore (we do)Why do they do this? Why don’t they defend their literature openly and honestly? Christians never have any problems with the bible.
>>24943165Christcucks also do this when confronted with the Sermon on the Mount "muh metaphor", "muh context", "muh translation". All jewish religions are inherently perfidious and hypocritical.
Bible is not literature
>>24944296Are you retarded? The Old Testament is Jewish, not Christian.
>>24943165The Talmud actually is insane. It was written basically by the people who crucified Jesus and is a massive cope. It's not the Bible so don't worry about it. Jesus is God.
>>24944296>You lost me on this one, the insane shit you mentioned is in the bible... psalms openly calls for bashing your enemies' heads against rocks> guy survives genocide> watches his entire family die > taken as a slave to a foreign country > slave-master does the bronze-age equivalent of "boy, sing us some n*gger music" while waving a confederate flag> theresnothinglefttolose.jpg> based slave-guy writes an impromptu song begging God to subject these guys to what he's been through> possibly is murdered but someone writes it down> 4,000 years later gay redditors who've never been through enslavement use his heartbreak to dunk on God Complaining about this Psalm is like dudes bragging about being colorblind on the old internet- it's a quick.easy way to tell if someone's white.

Barnes & Noble be all like:>>>YOU SPENT $250 ON BOOKS THIS QUARTER!? CONGRATULATIONS!!! HAVE A FREE $5 COUPON!!! YOU'VE EARNED IT!!!

>>24937826you didnt spend $250, you spent $245. teehee
>>24941523ummm, no they’re not. they’re subsidised by tax payers.
at a shopping mall near me, if you spend a certain amount of money, i think something like $200 or thereabouts, you don't have to pay for the parking, which costs like ~$10
Saw a girl on the train reading this book whilst drinking wine from the bottle. Anyone here also read it?
>>24945867>>24945417Somebody should write the Lady Chatterley of our day, the story of a sharp-edged and Julien Sorel-esque upwards-aspiring chud and some upper-middle class bourgeois woman who, until she meets Chud, has been completely insulated from the real world. But in the end, Chud leaves the relationship because he realizes that it wasn't his Lady Chatterley that he fell in love with but rather his attraction was the result of the fetishization of their differences in class, that he wanted her because he wanted to prove it to himself that he, the lowly, eccentric prole that he thinks of himself still, could conquer her, the archetypical icon of "normalcy" in his mind. Maybe a similar mental process could be shown on Lady Chatterley's end as well, with her realizing that she also fetishized his lower class background as something that could dispel all the falsity that surrounds her in her social life, that doing so dehumanized him despite her benevolent surface-level intentions.
some exotic surnames on those authors
>>24945647>>24945867You niggas are weird.
>>24945401Don’t be a sissy midwit and read Plato , more explicitly the Republic, instead of this scum.
>>24945401Yes,the books main hypothesis are: modern democracies rarely end via military coups but die slowly at the hands of elected leaders who use legal institutions to subvert democracy from within(Democratic Backsliding). And that written constitutions are insufficient and that democracy relies on two unwritten norms, mutual toleration (accepting rivals as legitimate) and institutional forbearance (restraint in using legal power). I believe it accurately depicts the direction we are headed. Just look at what Trump is doing or what Orban has been doing. Wouldn’t recommend buying it though. If you can acquire it from somewhere for free, that would be a better option.
What's the hype among these series? Or is it more for the table-top?
>>24945732Shut the fuck up?
>>24945732It's a crop-top table-top slop bop, Pork Chop.
>>24945732>paying to read marketing material designed to promote dolls for men
>>24945772that's not why warhammer is badwarhammer is bad because it reads like an obnoxious buddhist sutra (all of them) where 2 pages of stylized formalized greeting take place before anyone actually conveys any information. for the same reason it will some day be incredibly popular with women once they change the color palate, because the way in which two characters meet in a 40k scene is virtually identical to how two women meet irl and communicate, with 15 minutes of socially expected questions/pleasantries/formalities >how are you how is he hope thats well etc etc. >by the emporer, praise sigmar, hail (rank), it trust that (thing we already know both characters know)a very girly series. watch it happen.
>>24945732>>>/tg/Seriously. They talk about this slop with love and can guide you.
>blocks your path
>>24945796Headcovering and chastity prior to marriage were Christian practices until destroyed by liberalism. Should Islam become the dominant religion in the West it will face the same fate and eventually be watered down and subverted. That is to say converting to Islam because it's so heckin based and trad is not a solution for Westerners.
>>24945808Actual it won't, Muslim diaspora is getting more conservative and westerners should revert because it's the truth. If Christianity can be roflstomped by liberalism it was false, the act Christians had a reformation shows it's false, no religion needs a reformation
>>24945709>1/50th of that with a white womenThere are plenty.
>>24945709You'd be surprised how many muslim women have lost their 'anal virginity'. Its just a larp.
>>24945913Maybe 100 years ago, now unless they marry each other at 16 there is none. Even "trad" women won't veil>>24945916And that in an Islamic society would be lashings or death for Zina

>>24944739>Why, of all possible things, when I was thinking about Rainbow Dash a woman in light blue hoodie with rainbow wings appears on the same street I've been walking on for twenty years without meeting her once and asks if she needs to be a little bit cooler.yea,i guess a retard such as you would be so mindfucked by a mundane event like that,so much so that he can't make a coherent sentence describing said event.
most psychology majors are just biology rejects. few know this.
>if you have an idea at a certain point in time, somebody far away is very likely to have the same idea too, and likely at the same time.>a turn of phrase>an idea for a scientific theory>a fasion schemeThere seems to be a superstructure is active in human experience, a collective mind of some sort, whose logical positive manifestation is this nonlocal correlation between the independent thoughts of individuals. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?
>>24945955for the retards ITT, synchronous events of this type are normally at a level of improbability of at least 1 part in 10^40 or so, estimating by using the probability of two people precisely repeating an exact english phrase of about 40 words at .5 bits per character, or by a loosely parallel construction with significant overlap which has (to my intuition at least, its hard to quantitate) comparable improbability. These are not mundane coincidences at any reasonable level of probability. In order to explain these phenomena, you need to accept that there are larger frameworks which produce these ideas, and that these larger frameworks are structured into some kind of collective mind.It should be possible to design experiments to test around with this, but you'll have to be really clever about it, like something milgram would come up with. I'll let you know if I fucking think of something.
Been a long time since I seen the show and have never read the books.The topic came up and I said the fire priestess was my favourite character to which the response was "that's very telling for your character"What's that supposed to mean?

>This schematism of our understanding in regard to phænomena and their mere form, is an art, hidden in the depths of the human soul, whose true modes of action we shall only with difficulty discover and unveil.
>>24945033How is transcendental logic related to (formal) logic? Kant says that in logic, reason considers only its form and abstracts away the matter and denies that there could be a special logic for a certain matter. But later in the antinimoies he wants to show that the most basic form of proof (reductio ad absurdum) doesn't apply in the context of the questions there, for the negation of tha absurd is equally absurd there.so I am baffled.BTW, we have currently a thread on "informal logic" (textbooks). We should go over there and harass them there.
>>24945340>a science of pure understanding and rational[2] cognition, by means of which we may cogitate objects entirely à priori. A science of this kind, which should determine the origin, the extent, and the objective validity of such cognitions, must be called Transcendental Logic
