Have you read every page of the meme trilogy? If so, which was best?
>>24964280As an example, the zoomers who watch Anthony Fantano and browse RateYourMusic prostrate themselves before rebranded /mu/core because it is explicitly presented to them as the foundation and pinnacle of music which is prerequisite experience for being considered cultured and worthy of an opinion on music, whilst they themselves come to it largely ignorant and inexperienced and so are willing and eager to believe that this canon offers them enlightenment and salvation from plebeian-ness. This scenario therefore is applicable to virtually every other such endorsed canon.There has been plenty of things about internet culture for anthropologists and other humanities disciples to study. That it has gone largely unstudied thus far indicates that the reasons for not doing so shall continue to persist for the foreseeable future.

Of course not. Nobody seriously reads the end notes in IJ. Also nobody can speak Gaelic so if they claim to read Ulysses or FW they just "read" like 50% nonsense without comprehending it.

>>2496630maybe it's because the wafers are not equally sized, some may be larger and others smaller depending on the shape of the ingot
>>24966300Maybe, it might just be a result of the deposition process.I'm not even sure why the wafer is round.
>>24966347they spin it to make the silicon crystals or some shit

>>24965937I can tell you what I remember of it. It is smut, though.
>>24966257Well the other detectors were all dogshit. That's why I was surprised not only that GPTZero got every strictly AI or strictly human writing correct, it even gave a partial AI ruling of 18% to a version of something I'd lightly taken AI suggestions from that the fully human version hadn't gotten. Was it only a handful of inputs? Sure. It was just an interesting result after the previous shitty ones gave everything basically random percentages of AI.
>>24966257was this written by ai?
>>24966257When all creative industries are devalued by AI, what will artists and writers end up doing? I don't think they'll keep writing only to have their hard work be put up against AI (you will never be able to shake that suspicion and stigma, that whatever you wrote in the post-AI period is actually something you wrote). Not only that, all the industry wants is woman slop, whether AI or not. For young writers, real writers, I think there is no future. We have reached the death of literature.

Are there any stories, particularly fantasy ones, where a fungal race play a prominent role? I have an idea for a race of mushroom guys, so I'm curious what other writers went with the concept.
>>24965248>Been a while since I read it but I think that’s the book where him, Darrow and Sevro rewatch footage of their time at the academy and laugh about it.I think that was actually in Morningstar when he was a prisoner. Think it was in LB where they found that he mostly watched their old academy footage when going through his belongings.
>>24965959You need to read port of shadows to understand what is going on in lies weeping.
Specifically this translation, if you’ve read it.
>>24964544Let's say there was a historical dispute between two imams, one older and one with more islami knowledge. both want to lead the friday prayer. but then, a person comes with a hadith that says "The person who is best versed in the recitation of the Book of Allah should lead the prayer; but if all those present are equally versed in it, then the one who has most knowledge of the Sunnah." which seems to vindicate the latter imam.The question is: is the hadith fake?Now if you say "of course, it certainly is" then you are clearly an idiot.But if instead you claim it "most probably is" then how can you justify this? Especially since this is the exact situation, assuming the hadith was real, that it would be brought up.All you're doing is guessing unless you look at the sources, ie. asking that guy where he got that hadith from. Which is exactly what hadith scholars do to a more scrutinizing degree.Now it is the contention of some fraud scholars that all of classical hadith scholarship from Morocco to Tajikistan is in league to help the regime in some way (ignoring the fact that hadith scholars more often than not considered each other rivals, or that hadith scholars constantly fought with authorities throughout history) and would create a whole corpus across centuries, inventing a cast of characters to quote from etc. Comment too long.

>>24961767are you kidding me?
>>24964577>le't sayNope. Hadith are part of islamic orthodoxy whether you like it or not.

>>24965628>he can make his wife cum, what a loser K
>>24946749This whole line of thinking is wrongheaded. If you want to "pleasure" a woman, you should make yourself into a large animal of a man then fuck the shit out of her with zero regard for anything but maximising the pleasure of your peepee. She will take care of the rest. You can certainly make a woman 'gasm by obsessing over how best to lick her pu$$y but it's not worth it. They don't even care about that.

>...also, you have requested a list of recommended readings for a youth just embarking on the study of literature: begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected novels and adventure books. I recommend the English stories about the detective Holmes especially, for he tends to transcend the abysmal society in which he’s found himself. Nietzsche, Epistula Ad Juvenem De Eruditione , 1886Was he right?
wtf she wrote a book

>>24965699sure, some of them:bignolle, guibole, moujingue, cambuse, piaule, fourbi, fourguer, mornifle, raclure, huppé, poteau, roupiller, boulle, rombière
>>24965802Interesting. I'm French and for me it's the opposite, it reads so easily, it flows seamlessly, it is such a pleasure to read. Never realised that's the very reason it would make it hard to read for a foreigner.Does the sentence structure and grammar also make it difficult? He has a certain rhythm where sentences are not structured like in classical French, it's more natural
>>24965866>Does the sentence structure and grammar also make it difficult?yes, certainly. i think maybe i emphasized the difficulty of the vocabulary too much. the way he constructs sentences is another factor. the way he'll shift the subject of the sentence somewhere else in the sentence, etc. the last thing i'll remark on is the dream / fantasy sequences. for me, when he launches into these even if i understand what he is saying i'll start questioning, "am i understanding him right?"
>>24965432nah.Céline eats words.it's part of his style.D'un château l'autre literally is a short for d'un château à l'autre.in english: from a castle to another.OP was asking if i was needing more.there was my answer: "à".1/10 made me explain.
