>>25624557Incels are just inherently cooler than people who shit on them. There's something very relatable about people who cannot obtain sex. Such people have lots of soft power. Have you heard of Cool Britannia or Cool Japan? Well, Cool Incel is also a thing.
>>25624407Honestly it's sad, at the gym I see these weirdos talking like way too assertive to each other and they always act like someone is watching them intently. Im glad I'm not a kid anymore that shit sucks. Feeling the weight of the symbolic world like it means something, the pressure to look as gay as possible to try to have sex it's just weird. They all try to out alpha each other and they are all Christian for some reason. I heard some youths over-loudly screaming about if they believe in free will in the locker room like some kind of play they are putting on. It's hard to watch and embarrassing how much they want to be noticed. There is this need for everything to be legitimate. For example there is this narrative that goth is political when in reality goth is solely an aesthetic but that's not good enough it needs to be goth + it needs to be justified
>>25624584The masses will never be cool. They are just lame as fuck. They unironically will like scroll Instagram and see people on steroids and that will make them think they are missing out and need to follow the trend. They are just culturally retarded and I have tried so hard to say " well I just have a personality disorder, I'm just mistaking this for a us vs them fantasy" etc etc but time and time again you have these idiots who will literally inject tren because it's poppin on social media. I just can't imagine being that fucking dumb like socially, like they are that fucking stupid. They are not cool they don't even understand what cool is. They never will. Thats why normieshit is lame boring and always will be any attempt to make it not lame and boring is the redditors "cool irony" you know the type, the dudes that say " I actually like taylor swift, its just music" and they think they are being subversive. No there comes a point where if u larp as a day long enough you are just a fag. Ur not cool taylor swift is capitalist trash nobody thinks it's quirky except the mean of humanity which is gutter trash. Losers.
>>25631783What compells a little faggot to get the same broccoli hair cut as everyone else and wear the same sillouhette as everyone else and do the same thing as everyone else they are just lame as fuck now all of a sudden it's chill to be anti semitic lol. Whatever is the "thing" they will do. They are literally nothing. They are ants.
itt: the most bizarre things you can writeI kinda want to cut a fat man's leg off and swing it around like a giant mace. the recoil from the thigh hitting you could probably cave your fucking chest in.
>>25630417I'm a gay spirit that travels through the ether and at night while straight men sleep I like to slowly brush and graze with 2 fingers their erect members pushing against their underwear until the finest drops of pre seminal fluid emerge.

why did he do it?
He wanted infinite rest
Only a couple months after the first pregnant man gave birth.
>>25631194Grow up
>>25630229Depression sucks but I think if you want to intellectualize it, in my opinion he couldn't deal with the gap of language that lacan lays out in the graph of desire. Life is inherently pointless, and he couldn't form a fantasy that gives him enough distance to deal with this. Infinite jest is about this.

I need to get out more
Almost 24 hours ago now, I posted in this thread saying that I find work extremely unpleasant, and I was told that I'm basically being a gigantic pussy who needs to grow up and work. I said, "Okay, maybe he's right." So I sat down for 2 hours from 9 PM to 11 PM and worked on a script I've been thinking about. The past week, I've consistently got 8 hours of sleep from roughly 11 PM to 9 AM. As of now, I've had 3 total hours of sleep in the past 24 hours, and this is split up into chunks of low quality sleep that's about 60 minutes long. I didn't do any drugs, I didn't change up my schedule. It was literally just the work, and it completely obliterated my sleep. I'm not really sure what to do now or when I'll be able to get back to sleep.So much for, "Anon just needs to quit being a pussy!" >>25630819Guys you guys aren't always right, huh.
The superposition principle, also known as superposition property, states that, for all linear systems, the net response caused by two or more stimuli is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus individually.

Could someone please post “Infinite Rest” with Wallace spelling on that edge wall or whatever? I posted his image with bigger breasts (>>25629507) and got banned (mfw). Had to just sit in the cuck chair for three days in read-only mode and watch others post, as I don't have a dynamic IP.

I picked up Marco Polo in my search for inspiration, but it's actually incredibly boring besides the few mystical anecdotes about Eastern Christianity, and the passages in the beginning influenced by Rustichello's Arthurian background. Where did this book earn its reputation as a classic?
>>25628018Why did you think it was going to be inspiring? It's a travelogue after all, albeit a unique one.

OP is a faggot
Are you guys participating in any book clubs? I'm in 2 different ones, one online and one IRL. The online one is infuriating because it's ran by a bunch of autistic completionist boardgame geeks. Like a clock we pick a new book once a month but these retards are always like 4 books behind schedule because they refuse to skip a book and simultaneously hate all picks that are not Dungeon Crawler Carl. There are many attempts to schedule discussion but they always fail. Me and another participant meet up once a month to discuss the chosen book, in secret.
>>25631346In a vacuum, sure.
>>25631334For MFAs (people who got their Masters in Fine Arts), look up your local poetry clubs. Pretty much everyone there is an MFA and network with them and the book clubs they tell you that they frequent or suggest a book and invite those who want to discuss it over. Or meet them out in public if your place is too shameful for guests
>>25631129If I didn't have the life odious daily burdens that prevent me from doing anything social at all I would run one called B Team Book Club where we read the second most famous books by literary authors and that's it. I'm pretty sure it would just be smellies, church retards and olds for the month and a half it lasts, or else some picayune asshole like me would try to take it over so he could make people read those Mazalan books and other genre horse shit, and I would get tried of it immediately after that. I am never the less somewhat ecoraged by the cooze supply in your picture. Do they only show up for meme girl stuff? Are they convertable?
>>25631248Your little city park, Stadsparken, has lots of nice spotsSee these royal Baroque-style milestones carved by stonecutter Sven Jonsson between 1672 and 1676?That's when John Milton wrote his masterpiece Paradise Lost, and the setting is good for reading its sweeping meditations on mortality, fallen majesty, the fall of humanity, the unavoidable end of mortal life, fate, despair, the passage of eternal time, monumental loss ("Dark'n'd so, yet shon / Above them all th' Arch-Angel ruind")>Reading John Milton’s Paradise Lost in front of an old, weathered Baroque-style milestone pairs perfectly with the poem's aesthetic>The Baroque Aesthetic of Grandeur: Milton’s poetic style is fundamentally Baroque. He employs a vast, ornate, and complex architectural structure in his blank verse, mirroring the dramatic scale, heavy ornamentation, and intense emotional theatricality found in 17th-century Baroque art and architecture.>A milestone marks progress, distance, and the passage of time on a physical path. Paradise Lost is entirely structured around epic journeys: (They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow, )>A Marker of Free Will: In a theological sense, a milestone represents a point of decision-making on a road. This mirrors Milton's core exploration of free will, choice, and the consequences of the paths we choose to follow or abandon.

Plato Was Right About Everything
>>25629318I don't think the teaching of the Republic is that perfect Justice "doesn't exist," but that perfect civic Justice is deeply implausible, and one has to settle for ordering one's own soul justly. To the extent that the city in speech is not intended to be a real practicably actionable notion, and to the extent that the Justice of the city turns out to be a phantom of the true Justice of the soul, I would otherwise agree with you, but not without those qualifications.
>>25629330How about you fucking read it and understand that justice is defined as "all people doing exactly their role and no more or less" and the thought experiment is about constructing a city based on that principle. It is inherently unthinkable and all things detailed in the republic are extreme ends to what can be feasible under justice.>>25629348Exactly. I just get fed up hearing idiots claim it's supposed to be what we should strive toward instead of explaining what justicd can give us.
>>25631049I have read it but>it's unthinkable to have land be split up into hyper specific measurements, only perfect justice could achieve this and perfect justice is impossible!...huh?
>>25621951>>25629330>>25631340Nta, but I'd be curious where you're getting this from in the Republic; isn't this the Laws where distribution is discussed concretely? The Republic, I thought, just alludes to distribution without further elaboration, and in fact says the two upper classes don't get any allotted to them because they're not allowed to own anything.
>>25631501>>25631340Nvm, you were probably talking about the Laws in the first place, and the other anon thought you were talking about the Republic.

>Judith gone even further than that—into that transition stage between childhood and womanhood where she was even more inaccessible to the grandfather of whom she had seen but little during her life and probably cared less anyway—that state where, though still visible, young girls appear as though seen through glass and where even the voice cannot reach them; where they exist (this the hoyden who could—and did—outrun and outclimb, and ride and fight both with and beside her brother) in a pearly lambence without shadows and themselves partaking of it; in nebulous suspension held, strange and unpredictable, even their very shapes fluid and delicate and without substance; not in themselves floating and seeking but merely waiting, parasitic and potent and serene, drawing to themselves without effort the post-genitive upon and about which to shape, flow into back, breast, bosom, flank, thigh.
