Are you a Calvinist or a Susie?
I used to read ahead in my school books because I was excited to know what would come nextI want to be friends with Lermontov and Conrad
>>23314835>>23314835I actually never read ahead because all the books my mmmy-looking teacher chose were total dogshit, so it felt like a chore more than something cool to discover.
>>23314835Calvin is a 4channer
>>233148594chud*
>>23314835Neither. I would read ahead but only as a procrastination on the assigned reading.
>>23314835I would always wait until the day of the test before i would start cramming on the bus
I don’t think I ever read a textbook assigned in grade school and I was a straight A student until late high school
>>23314835susie... vgh.. hnng
C@H is catnip for snarky midwit redditors who think themselves special for consuming pessimistic, 'unique' content that praises the reader for not being like all those other stupid consumers.It's telling how much it increased in popularity on 4chan 2016 onwards
>>23315247Not really. If you read 'em they're not heavy handed at all except for a few strips that ultimately get saved by the C&H soul. For the most part it's pretty based and not preachy. To say that C&H is pessimistic shows you haven't even read it, most likely. If anything, it can be pretty sappy (still love it, tho).Pic related shows C&H is anti-reddit
>>23315247ok calvin>>23314968>tfw no susie derkins gfkill me kill me kill me
>>23315280For me, it's a pot of boiling water. Far more honest than subverting their society.
>>23315280>If anything, it can be pretty sappyEven at its most emotional/poignant, C&H is too thoughtful & introspective to be considered "sappy"
>>23315294I agree. I'd rather just have someone blow my shit up than slowly sucking the will to live across generations
>>23315306Oh, I agree. I was writing that with the thought in mind that I'd accept that as a more valid criticism than "nihilistic", even though I do think C&H does heartfelt moments very well
>>23315310That's fair. I didnt even dignify that dipshit post above with any real response because C&H is self evidently not at all nihilistic or pessimistic even when it confronts such themes, so characterizing it as rick and morty midwit reddit slop is blatantly dumb
>>23315331Yes, it is very dumb. Probably gonna re-read the strips sometime soon, this thread gave me the itch
