Anyone here use a bulky ass pen ? I'm in the market for one, but can never find a cumbersome and uncomfortably thick pen.

yes

>>24638716
correct

this is my sheaffer 300, it's great, glides smoothly, faultlessly reliable (even though I've dropped it and bent the nib back with pliers a few times) and I bought more Sheaffers. their quality is all over the place, the Intensity wrote flawlessly, the VFM couldn't even write at all.

The apostles gambled, even.
>And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

>>24647329
that's divination but I think after Pentecost they ceased all divination, including even throwing lots, didn't they?

gambling is bad in the bible, you are just not wise enough

Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. Proverbs 13:11

Tolkien is way too verbose and archaic for kids that age

Emily Rodda's books

The Wayside School series.
The Egypt Game.
Harry the Poisonous Centipede.
The Day My Butt Went Psycho.
These are a few books I enjoyed when I was under or around the age of ten.

Yeah there was a girl who was doing all that shit when I was in college, the problem is everyone including the professors aren’t going to ever say anything to them. It’s gay as fuck, literally, it’s all just very gay and sterilized now. I didn’t regret my classes at all I studied some good stuff, I just ignored any pining for outside the class work. Nobody interesting especially not men, want to help cry about the patriarchy. Where are we even supposed to go with it all? Yeah I’m sure society will be better after you
tear down every sign of masculinity.

Whats worse I think it’s necessary, this is the only way liberalism can be transgressive, by constantly seeking to integrate more equality and breakdowns of traditional norms. And fighting the man for expanded rights to minority groups, there’s literally nothing else to do. Going back is pure cope too. University amounts to a daycare and debt trap while the real game changers start and run businesses. Technology is the only thing worth a shit anymore because it’s still cool and there’s nothing women or gays can do about it.

>It's insane to me that more than 25% of applicants want to write about gender.
They dont. They want to write about their favorite movies, tv shows, celebrity gossip, schlick lit, and any other inane thought that pops into their head, and gender studies is the vehicle that allows them to indulge in their hobbies while pretending it's for the greater good of humanity.

Tech just looks cool from the outside. Most of it, 99% at least, is really fucking lame. Designing an algorithm to manipulate shoppers into spending an extra 10 seconds on your digital marketplace is a total waste of a life. The worst part is that you need to be a high IQ asshole graduating from the top universities to even have a shot of doing that at a FAANG company.

Tech autism, especially surrounding AI, is also ruining other fields. It's very easy to get a STEM PhD with a low level of understanding in your field of specialization, so long as you incorporate AI, which is what half of recent graduates are now doing. AI just obscures everything in a way that removes the capacity for penetrating insight so it's a perfect project for a midwit researcher. Why does this artifact appear? I don't know but I can train a neural network to recognize it!

Sanderson IS the best man for the job. Who else has experience finishing a sprawling fantasy series? Sanderson does. Bonus points for not making every old fan hate the new books.

Look at what the TV writers did. Look at what movie writers do (Star Wars). That's the average outcome you're dealing with.

Sanderson is a good teacher. He understands writing on a level other than just a writer. That's probably why Wheel of Time wasn't a complete disaster. He might be able to do it for asoiaf too.

I might've glazed him here, but he's basically the only one that has experience doing something like this.

Fuck yourself you disingenuous nigger. You know perfectly well what I'm talking about.

There are actually people on /lit/ who read and enjoy a Song of Ice and Fire? Didn't this board have standards once?

>>24647396
Funny how newfags like you actually know nothing about the boards they are posting on. /lit/ has had ASOIAF generals long before the tv show became a big hit, it was a massively popular book series on here prior to 2010. Then the more popular the tv show got, the less accepted it became on /lit/ to talk positively about the books.

>Starmer is a great example of a man who knows he's ruining his political career but seems to prioritise Israel more, for whatever reason
Starmer is married to a kikess and their spawn are all raised as kikelets. He's a member of the tribe.

I can't tell if you're joking, sarcasm doesn't really translate to text but the rate of profit and middle class have been shrinking for decades at this point

>decouples work from material goods
That's how capitalism destroys itself, the rate of profit shrinks over time. Automated factories won't magically delete themselves when capitalism ends

Every prediction Marx made has come true, except for the revolution.
Why is this? Is the proletariat just retarded? Or do we have to wait 2 more weeks?
Or perhaps, Marx was wrong, and class consciousness does not naturally permeate as a result of the material conditions of the working class.
What do you think, anon?

>His best stuff
In no particular order:
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward
The Haunter of the Dark
The Shadow Out of Time
The Whisperer in Darkness
The Colour Out of Space
At the Mountains of Madness
Supernatural Horror in Literature
The Call of Cthulhu

One of the things about Lovecraft, for better or worse, is that he was a dyed-in-the-wool antiquarian and as such your mileage may vary. IMO his best stuff is generally where he's really immersed in New England and those stories are much more enjoyable if you have enough knowledge to set the scene.

Nah sounds like he was a shit cunt from /pol/.

I fucking hate anthologies like this that aren't 'complete works of' style anthologies. What's the fucking point of leaving something out? It just means people have to go and track shit down.

Bought a bunch of Greek theater anthologies at a used book store a while back and stuck them on the eventuality shelf, recently checked with dismay to discover they were not Lattimore or Fagles because I didn‘t know what the fuck I was doing at the time.

Yeah I might buy an extensive set which corrects this oversight.

>I don't really get his position
You succinctly summarized it though

thoughts and words aside, fix your eyes upon the absolute radar dishes affixed to either side of this gentleman's powerful jaw and high cheekbones, the hair of a man fourty years his junior perched upon his head .. my intuition tells me the same thing this his physiognomy and words do — the protection and conservation of the natural world is the single most important pursuit in the world today. all else is suicide of varying duration.

i prefer the Siberiade

"stanislaw lem" is an anagram of "satanism well." you have been warned.

Klapaucius is the more reserved, wise, and conscientious one.

Percival Everett wrote books across different genres. They feature black people but the themes are rarely if ever about colonialism or racism. One of his most famous books, Erasure, is actually a criticism about black authors always writing about that crap because it sells

Chester Himes wrote some great comedic buddy detective novels. It’s like a mix of boondocks and pulp fiction.
