Speak for yourself. My novella is fairly polemic.

So I'm writing a novella in which the MC is (among other things) terminally online zoomer. It's not by any means the focus of the story, but I still need to have moments where he references something he saw or someone he met online. How do I do this without it coming across as cringe, dated and "hello fellow kids"-esque?I was thinking of just being as vague as possible, not directly naming any specific websites/memes/communities/etc, and only making reference to "an image board", "a messaging app" and so on. Do you think this would work?
>So shall the Son of man be THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS in the heart of the earth.>Destroy this temple, and in THREE DAYS I will raise it up.>After THREE DAYS I will rise again.>The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after THREE DAYS rise again.I don't get it. If Jesus died on Friday afternoon and was resurrected by Sunday morning, how is that THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS?

Are there any good essats or books that push strong arguments and reasons as to why traditional gender roles are superior to the modern version of womens roles and womens liberation?Stay at home mom = strong children =strong community=happy and healthy peoplesMother raising kids> the state raising kidsPerhaps even some writings that breakdown the mind of people that seem to be so bothered by these ideas
>>25185343Of course not, and for the same reason there are no decent books promoting "traditional" farming with wooden plough over the tractor and industrial farming. Gender roles are not a biological constant.
>>25185412This kills the Chud.
>>25185343Its another >here are my pre-concieved notions, please provide me with books that confirm exactly thatThe problem with your notion in particular is that its rather common, inane and intellectually weak. you'll find some version of this idea muttered by conservatives all throughout history, but most thinkers worth their salt have the dignity to not turn it into a full polemic.

we have had the philosophical debate around intoxicating consumables like alcohol, drugs and such since the ancient greeks. but what do we make of things like coffee and black/green tea? what did the old philosophers think of these? intoxicating? a useful tool? a crutch?
>>25183400I once saw a post on here that said if amphetamines were around in the 18th century, Enlightenment era thinkers would have abused the fuck out of them to stay up and learn constantly, and it really changed my perspective on them. If they could get the crystals, all they'd need is a candle and a glass pipe (which an intellectual could surely afford) and they'd be tweaking and reading 700 page theology and law tractates
>>25183400Any stimulant just generates resistance and then anxiety that is relieved by taking the stimulant. I myself and weak to substances, i was waking up in a panic every other day and when i cut caffeine that stopped immediately.
>>25184611>all they'd need is a candle and a glass pipe (which an intellectual could surely afford) and they'd be tweaking and reading 700 page theology and law tractatesPeople mistake crystal for productivity. It has the sheen and veneer of productivity but it's just you inaccurately doing things in a haphazardly manner thinking you are productive (usually college students stealing adhd meds)
>>25183400You can’t be an intellectual if you don’t drink black coffee and smoke cigarettes every day.
>>25183408Merely a funny anecdotal account of the enlightenment, probably made by a redditor for updoots. The truth is, coffee in France was introduced during the 17th century, coincidentally during the upsurge of absolute monarchical rule and theocentric subordination of man to the divine in both art and philosophy.

I'm 50 pages in. Is this book actually a difficult read like redditors say or does Cormac just obfuscate his descriptions of land in poetic runon sentences to make you feel overwhelmed?
>>25185296On my phone, I actually meant to say “rock” formations. I’m not ESL, and I’ve read the book. I loved it the first time around, hated it the second. I still like that part where The Kid is nearly freezing to death in the snowstorm I guess.
>>25185307We believe you
Spoiler ahead:Everyone who talks about this book being easy or bad, or whatever, can never answer the simple question why doesnt the kid kill the judge when he has the opportunity. None of these geniuses can answer me that.
>>25185166>Is this book actually a difficult read like redditors sayNo, they're just fucking retarded.
>>25185329>why doesnt the kid kill the judge when he has the opportunity.Because, like the dude who was gonna kill him for scalping the indian boy, he's afraid that he's actually the devil and if you shoot him he'll just get stronger.
what's your favourite short story?

>>25184182my father,the male progenitor of my y chromosome. The conclusion has been sighted to me your mistakes when made had somewhat not been without reason and corrected when possible. There have been many lives of men to have been transported through these neurons and fat and sugar and water that now write to you yet while none had been perfect and none could have been yours would have remained of use to have been rethought over regardless. You evolved when not selected for. You moved. You didn't. There's nothing else you could have done for me how I see it. You have been an intelligent man and you would have died an intelligent man. There are no languages outside hunger and a gun whence there'd have been no use to have related possible futures to you. When I die you would have been somewhere better than me for years withal. You will not hear from me and will not be able to have found me from now on. All free men, whenever they may live.[name]

Reminder that Pynchon couldn't handle calculus and dropped out of college. Ergo, a book that is STEM heavy is more intellectual than purple prose slop. You wish your favorite author had the intelligence to write The Martian or Project Hail Mary.

>>25185018Goethe, Grothendieck (if he counts), Rabelais are probably the three smartest I can think of.>>25185000Wasted trips. Pynchon is a midwit and you’re a fucking retarded jeet.

>>25185000>>25185151I'll drop a white aryan TRVKE on this second or third blody benchod jeet bait thread, and then leave.This is what we call a false dichotomy. The ol shape rotator versus wordcel binary has always been misstated by retards. Rotary facility predicts verbal intelligence, meaning there's a strong pattern of stemchads also being humanities chads. I myself am one of them.I have a masters in CS and can confidently say weir is a retarded r*dditor who appeals to the midwits which, and i do mean which, flood all fields including those scientific.

Ever realize how MASSIVELY favored Dorne is by GRRM?>Dorne attacks Daeron during a parlay attempt, and also Wyl of Wyl attacks a noblewoman's wedding, rapes her and sells her into slavery, and castrates her husband>Despite this they are not widely seen in the same light as the dishonorable Freys who did the Red Wedding, the Lannisters for the sack of King's Landing, the Boltons for their past cruelties, or even the Ironborn. Only the Reachmen view them in such light.>Despite houses like Yronwood being rivals to Martell (and Doran having to give Quentyn as a hostage after Oberyn "accidentally" killed one of them), not a single Yronwood ever attempted to switch to Aegon's side>Notably this is AFTER Aegon rose the Tyrells and the Tullies into Great Houses because they joined his side>Wyl was supposed to release Aemon the Dragonknight but reneged on their wordDorne during Aegon's invasion behaves like a fanatically nationalist nation, not a feudal society, and they get away with a ton of unscrupulous shit that other houses get a ton of flak for.GRRM is too nice to them.

Thoughts on That All shall be Saved?
I am tired of the christkek rhetoric
>>25182848>>25182863Such a foolish statement, thats like saying a mother who murders her baby for fun deserves no eternal guilt for doing such a horrible act, and the act of their guilt being an eternal torment is itself evil. Nonsensical.
Kek at all the seething over this book on goodreads
>>25185338> thats like saying a mother who murders her baby for fun deserves no eternal guilt for doing such a horrible actNo, it’s saying no eternal punishment of torture is deserved once they have been cleansed by purifying flame and abandoned all sin and accepted God fully>and the act of their guilt being an eternal torment is itself evil.Guilt being eternal is not evil, eternal painful torture inflicted on someone is. Someone can theoretically retain guilt and regret forever in heaven even after they have been purified and restored to God after an arduous harrowing, but without permanent painful torture.
