Where do I start with Nietzsche?
>>24854282twilight of the idols, it's the only point that makes any sense
>>24854282the greeks of course
>>24854282Is there a guide where I can just insult people using Nietzsche quotes calling them slaves, etc, but don't have to read all those books to find them myself? sv2dgx
>>24854476nonono, let him read.it will be funny
What's the point of reading Nietzche?
I need an electornic word processor that>cannot EVER connect to the internet>can manage, import, and export text files via usb>has little to no other functionThere's too much shit on my laptop to distract me from writing. I realize there's pen and paper but I don't want to have to rewrite everything I've already written. Any recommendations?
>>24842191lmao just start using ed or ed. I werks right out of the box and with other editors you'll spend more time configuring it. Why the fuck would you need cowsay or some corny-ass visualizers while writing. st is the best terminal emulator and dwm or i3 works great.You need less, not more
>>24849566Sounds like an amazing reason for why nobody should use a Psion 5 mx ever again.
>>24841594>There's too much shit on my laptop to distract me from writing.Remove the WIFI module. Maybe even remove the ethernet port. Even go as far as removing the antennas from around the display panel.
>>24841672imagine not using git for version control when writing

Alright I'm gonna read the bible and saw this 'thomas nelson' one on amazon for $20. Should I get it
>>24853405Get a New King James version
Doauy-Rheims all the way, no debate.
Just download the NRSV from Internet Archive for free. It's written in modern English, it's heavily footnoted and cross-referenced, and it explains the history of how each book in the Bible came to be.

>writes a juvenile book with simple black and white morality for children>filled with plotholes>bad guys are all cartoonishly evil and have no redeeming features>80 years later manchildren still think he's a geniusIs he the biggest hack to ever hack? Being an adult fan of Tolkien is the easiest way to tell someone is low IQ.
>>24849251jesus fuck that girl's ass is incredible
>>24847029>That's not very christian of you!I am not a Christian you stupid nigger cocksuckerStupid fucking faggot I told you facts about Tolkien. You literal fucking nigger. Fucking behead yourself
>>24850761I am not disagreeing btw
>>24849251>it's not even close to an epic!Are you mad? It's an overland Odyssey done by utility-build Hobbits, a worldmap-wide Iliad, with a Tragedy spinoff.The only difference is it wasn't done in poetry, it was closer to Prose Edda. You want to remove Tolkien off the canon for reasons other than literary. Fucking activist. You probably approve of reactionary post-colonial ragelit like Poe. If you hate Wormtongue it is only because he's the best reflection Tolkien has of you.
>>24855547>PoeMeant Foe, the rewrite of Robinson Crusoe by some wahmouth.
What books should I read if I want to develop Dark Triad traits? I've already read 48 Laws of Power and How to Win Friends and Influence People
>>24855413they aren't means to anything, they're symptoms of systemic dissolution. but you have a top-down conspiratorial view of the world so we are not going to agree on anything.
just do blow and it'll get you there. it can very easily fuck up your life tho.or just work out and be yourself haha :)
You don't read to develop Dark Triad traits dumbass, you just go out there, get high as shit and fail your way to success.Reading for this shit is gonna multiply your retardiness to critical mass, kek
>>24855007For example, compare India to a nation with peoples who operate on a higher level of civilization. Thems the benefits they speak of.

>>24854721This list was made 2 years ago, when Crypt hadn't been published yet. (I also haven't read it yet lmao)Very cool to occasionally meet up with Ballingrud! Any interesting stuff he's told you?

>>24854883but what about his feelings when he returned to england?
>>24854686RAVENOUS CUK. Lmao
Which is the best? The most profound? The most literary? The most fun?
>>24854953
>>24854957This is why I come to this site.
>>24854957Based on this, Hollander and Sayer stand out the most. Dedicated readers should read both.

Did this book really deserve all the controversy it got?

>>24854931>controlled by such barbaric, dimwitted peoplesuch people literally make up the ultramajority of the religion, who do you think is going to control it? The Afghan people did nothing to prevent the Taliban from (re)taking power, the Iranians deposed the Shah to install the Ayatollah.

Muslims are stupid retards lol

>>24855495Has anyone read her non-Harry Potter books?Read up to the Goblet of Fire as a kid. Thought the previous books were good for what they were but GoF felt tedious though my mother finished the series and seemed to enjoy it.
>>24855495I'm annoyed that people talk about her so much just because they read her books as a teenager and the movies came out a similar timeits just idiots nostalgic for being teenagers I don't get the idea that younger generations are really that interested, but I suppose it's good that teenagers have more trash to read before they're mature enough to realise it sucks

Anyone read born under a black sun? Was on my backlog.
Oh wow, I just checked the writathon fictions list and it's just under 2 pages... I can see the appeal if there's so few, since your shit is going to be displayed on its first page pretty much guaranteed. I'll start preparing for April...
>>24855508I suppose there's a more authors waiting to shape a backlog before posting. Either way, it's a free algorithm bump posting your fiction now, even if you don't plan on going for the further contest stages.
>>24855517I would have assumed no one truly played by the rules, and they'd have their outline at least finished by the start, and a few chapters ready to go. But regardless, it seems like the best strategy to maximize writathon engagement is to start posting about a week prior.
I just finished this. I was disappointed yet can't stop thinking about it
>>24855315It was garbage. Movie was better.
