Anyone have experience as a seafood processor? Looking for punishing physical labor to refine myself after failing as a teacher.

>evil cannot *uurp* create*plagiarizes Wagner's Ring Cycle*
>>24945660Still kino though.
>>24946424>The ring idea does proceed them bothIt's from The Republic. Plato uses the idea of a ring that makes the wearer invisible to illustrate some moral point.
>>24944760>Brown hands typed thismany such cases, i don't know why he cause so much seethe for the untermensch trash here
>>24947021The Ring of Gyges may have influenced Tolkien, but it wasn't a direct influence on Wagner. It also wasn't a corrupting ring, and was less of a narrative and more of a philosophical exercise on morality.
>>24944840I played it
Is this actually poorly written, or is that just the thing where they try to bash him any way they can (small dick, missing testicle, secretly gay, etc.)
>>24942860It is poorly written. you know that saying about how if you want to turn someone atheist you should force them to read the bible? Its the same things with mein kempf and nazis. There is a lot of projection and/or hypocrisy where he condemns jews for doing X but then goes on to say doing X for the fatherland is actually heroic and the dissonance is never addressed. I honestly think this is how a party book in 1984 would look like.
There is also a lengthy categorization of civilizations into builders, keepers and equipment and talk of Darwinism but of course when Germany is winning its because they are the chosen ones but if Germany is losing its because they are unwilling to sink as low as the enemy, have been betrayed or the moon was in the wrong phase. Its always someone else's fault. Hitler would need to have been out of touch with reality to think the book made him look good. I expected good propaganda but instead found a linkedin lunatic post
>>24944271Surely you mean Vance
>>24946958vance is a totally irrelevant fatass queer with a dothead beard who raises her children to worship vishnu. a dog wouldnt follow him but he thinks he can be president. no idea what blormpf was promised in exchange for picking him up but its probably more like when tucker interviewed fuentes, blormpf thought he spoke for millennials
>>24946958future american presidents are hegseth and rittenhouse. screencap this
>match with woman on dating app>we both have literature as shared interests>she says "oh what's your favorite genre??">"I'm more into the classics">"but what's your favorite genre? Do you like sci fi?>"I like transcendentalist literature">"oh ok"Why do they ask
>>24947837>I talk to women about my warhammer hobby all the time, they say its super interesting. maybe you guys ought to try just being yourselves sometimes.
>>24947846Even if you are ugly you should be yourself. You won’t get laid being a disingenuous and ugly try-hard. Just be yourself and don’t be fat. If that doesn’t work you just got unlucky with genetics.
>dating app makes me choose liberal or conservative when I'm a communist
>>24947854Do you honestly believe that the billions of well adjusted, socially integrated, and romantically successful people on this planet who all like The Office, Step Brothers, Game of Thrones, Football, Tie-dye wall hangings, roasted bean water and avocado toast came to these identical conclusion in taste by "being themselves".You're an idiot.
>>24947871Is this argument that I should become a tasteless retard to more easily attract other tasteless retards? Are you projecting because you put tye dye wall hanging up to sleep with a mediocre woman? I've had no problem getting girls talking about dungeon crawlere and Japanese psych bands and horror anthologies. I'm a solid 5 but last time I posted some guy freaked out and said I was too attractive to understand the struggle.
Do Tolkiendrones realize that fantasy existed before Lord of the Rings and that it suffered greatly from Big Fat Fantasy and other sloppy derivatives that grew like viruses from Tolkien's wen? https://voca.ro/1Rwc7lMX0hfT
this shit got me ctfu
>>24941441Tolkien didn't created the fantasy genre altrough he definitely make it important, before him almost no one cared about it, he opened and introduced it to the world, altrough we can't forget that DC, Marvel and other slops are not behind on this.

I just finished reading Journey to the West for a book report. holy shit Chinese books are awesome. Does anyone have the china /lit/ recommendations?
>>24947674Of course not
ching chong bing bong.
>>24947522>>24947530Is it worth to learning some Mandarin for Chinese literature? Chinese history and literature is very rich and the language doesn't have any irregular verbs, conjugation, and genders.
>>24947747Learning enough mandarin/classical chinese to fully enjoy and understand the nuances of chinese literature as well as a native (or better than a translator) is basically impossible.
>>24947749you can still get to the ezra pound level of understanding, which is not bad
What erotic literature has /lit/ been enjoying as of late? I quite enjoyed this one until the abrupt non-ending
>>24944529The ending is definitely just a "fuck I have no way of ending this but also I can't just write 1200 pages of rambling sex scenes". I frankly respect it. Your first duty to your work is to get that shit out the door.

Recent revert to Islam is this a good book ? Some brothers recommended it to me
Calling 'converts' 'reverts' is one of the most pathetic, self-satisfied and slimy things I have seen a religion do and it immediately puts me off.
>>24947783Islam's "fitra" dogma is as bad as evangelical Christians' claim that they're not "religion".**"religion is man reaching to God, Christianity is God reaching to man"
>>24947652Axtually both Islam and the Catholic Church is cool and did tons of violent things and were brutal which is nice. Mafia and nato death squads are cool, Taliban and the rashidun raiders are cool too
>>24947134Does every convert have to choose between sunni and Shia? what if I want to convert to the alawite sect?
>allahUsing allah instead of God is tacky and suggests another entity than God>>24947648>if you wanna revert to Islam don't follow Islamic rulesthe current state
Will my ketamine addiction make me a better writer?
>>24947800>i want like a heroine painkiller high but with like the strength of Ibuprofen and like to be like zonked out like LSD but with the strength of like 1 more Benadryl than is recommend daily and i want to be like dissociated but with the strength of like a few too many ambien like fuggggggIncisive female drug for indecisive females. Get addicted to something else.
>>24947800Only stimulants make you a better writer, by making your brain connect everything faster. I am convinced the great alcoholic writers were great in spite of, not due to, their alcoholism which degrades the mind after years of abuse.
>>24947829Stimulants are some of the most neurotoxic substances there are
>>24947800Nice picture
I willingly didnt return my library books after the library near me is suddenly going through unexpected renovations and its been sitting on my shelf for close to a year since i was too lazy to drive across town to another library.I was planning on returning the books when the library opens again in a couple months but at this point i'm tempted to just keep em since I've just been buying my books instead for the first time in my life instead of using the library and i'm liking my growing collection.The library books are the illiad, the odyssey, the aeneid and mythology.I wanted to have this certain set of books anyways and at this point i dont wanna pay for it.Is this wrong of me ? Who else is gonna read these old books in my crappy bumfuck town in the middle of nowhere?they probably have multiple copies anyways.
>>24945935/threadsimple as
>>24946054I have to go return some library books
>>24945935>DO WANT TO LIVE IN A LOW TRUST COMMUNITY?Your community is minority white, that's already gone. All that's left now is gatekeeping knowledge from the brown horde by stealing library books.
>>24945852I stole like 5 Hitler books from my school library, didn't even read them but they add to the chudcore vibe of my room
>>24945852I have the very last extant copy of a book that I lost at home on break after taking it from the uni library.I have since found it, they have since held my transcripts hostage and billed me for it.They will not be getting it back. It was never digitized. The book dies with me. None of you will ever read it.
Noooooooooooooo Bronte sisters don't drink that water!!!!!!!
Is Thomas Pynchon schizophrenic?I've always heard that PKD is a schizo but I think PKD's were more like manic psychotic breaks than full-blown schizophrenia.Pynchon was in his late 20s when he wrote V. and the Crying of Lot 49 and in mid-30s when he wrote Gravity's Rainbow. He's led the life of a total recluse since. Makes me think he started experiencing symptoms of schizophrenia in his 20s, as is usual, and then it progressed and he went into hiding.After GR he wouldn't release another book (Vineland) for almost 20 yearsPic related
>>24946197Because you already received substantive replies and failed to engage with them. To continue soliciting replies to a question you aren't really interested in is pointless. All you want to do is push a misinformed amateur diagnosis
It was a different time. There was similar literature floating around, like the Illuminatus! trilogy
slopmas shitchon
>>24946208>man is disgusted by modern industrial society and fights back against it>”dude he was just a schizo lol don’t look into it”Psychiatry is a meme and you’re a retard for pushing those memes a truth
What books are you wishing for, or that you know you will be receiving? I know I've got a first edition of Dangerous Visions coming in the mail. Also share your Amazon wish lists in hopes some kind anon will buy you something: https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/2PL5T1DWG8ZHR
>>24947250Melville's Moby Dick, Orwell's 1984, Eco's The Name of the Rose, Joyce's Dubliners, or anything by Dostoevsky. Alternatively, Herbert's Dune Messiah, Erikson's Gardens of the Moon, Cook's Chronicles of the Black Company, or Wolfe's Shadow & Claw. Tried to give my secret Santa a list to work with, because I know, working at a bookstore, that getting hit with the "I don't read and I'm here looking for a gift for someone and all I know is they like fantasy and classics, can you help me out?" is a pain for everybody involved.Dangerous Visions 1st ed. is a beaut, and seems really interesting. Have you read it before, or would this be your first time?
>>24947463>Have you read it before, or would this be your first time?First time. I mostly got it (I asked my mum for it) for the Philip K. Dick story, and my love for Harlan Ellison.
>>24947250Possibly:>Derek Parfit - Reasons And Persons>Niall Ferguson - The Square And The Tower>Niall Ferguson - Virtual History >Adrian Goldsworthy - Philip And Alexander >Adrian Goldsworthy - Pax Romana>Henry Sidgwick - Practical Ethics>John Man - Conquering The North>Kwame Anthony Appiah - The Honor Code >Claude Lecouteux - The Book Of Grimoires >David Graeber - Debt: The First 5000 Years>Italo Calvino - Invisible Cities >Dino Buzzati - Stronghold (aka The Tartar Steppe)
Mention here literature according to /lit/ suitable to matriculate as a real /x/-ian. Or if /x/ was /lit/ cohorts first.
>>24947090>Catholics and Orthodox still have miracles and apparitions.Do they really? I thought that was for the peasants and the educated class roll their eyes at such things.
>>24947770"For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
>>24947776Sorry euro bros I have to agree with the Jews on this one, just no way the Messiah came and then was like, i'll return to make heaven on earth and then dipped out for 2,000+ years while horrors beyond all comprehension unfolded. Does this mean I'm jewish now?
>>24946516>single handedly inspires literally every single flavor of internet schizoid that would eventually culminate in the collapse of faith in intellectuals/ism in America in your path
>>24946516>if /x/ was /lit/ cohorts firstI don't know what you mean by this but /x/ predates /lit/ either way.
Anyone else think this ai stuff is hilarious? It's a literal slave, who would have thought this would be possible? I have it rewrite things in doctor seuss meter for fun, (primary historical sources, boring patents, famous pieces of literature) then I ask it to rewrite it as a screenplay debate with psychotic amounts of alliteration. No writer in any other era of human history has a toy like this! And the psychological abuse you can inflict upon it is fantastic, it's so funny, the damn machine just wants to make you happy! I ask it to create wild programs and motion-graphics and "by your command" it tries it's best! Who would've thought something like this would be possible? I sure as shit didn't, it's so unrealistic, but what fun!
>>24947478Only women sit like that on a chair.
why are you so edgy
>>24947478>but what fun!Oh my god nigger just kill yourself already
