After his mother — his only blood relative — was killed, he could no longer escape and was forced into prostitution. One day, he meets a new client who beats him up on the street. Shuo is an undercover cop trying to reach the drug cartel’s boss by working at a tailor shop. During a mission, Light catches his eye.

Out of all multicultural shitholes I would prefer to live in Brazil or canada than america. There's something deeply filthy about america
I am capable of sexual desire.
Think I just gooned my cold out of my body. WHO WANTS TO WRASSLE
>>25642110America is disorderly and dirty but if that's your criteria Brazil isn't going to be a place you like either.
I really don’t know why I keep coming here. You’re all just so horrible to each other! Where’s the love for goodness sake. Also there’s barely any literary discussion that actually goes on here. It’s just people calling each other names and calling each other filtered or something. Nothings changed it’s always been like this. 4chan really is the gutter of the internet. My life is so hollow and empty that I just keep coming here to pass the time (I do get the occasional laugh sometimes) and the fact that no where else on the internet is any good these days either. I suppose I’ve got some authors that people talk about here to read when I finally get back into reading but I could have found that out elsewhere. When I’m better and begin to have a life again (if that ever happens) I won’t be coming here anymore. I just feel sorry for all of you, you must have some serious issues to make you all act like this.
>>25642110i’d pick brazil for the senoritas
>>25642110All Western countries have become multi-cultural shit holes, even Switzerland, despite its 'fourth generation Swiss-born non-naturalized migrant' and felon deportation policies.
>>25642126what’s your fav book?
>>25642126this best be pasta dude, also didnt' read lol
>>25642126I come here because I've been banned everywhere else and because my overwhelming odios responsibilities preclude any actual socialization, something I regularly indulged in before I became effectively a prisoner.
>>25642130I haven’t read that much adult book wise as I’ve been so ill for most of my life but I have read animal farm and 1984 and liked those. What’s your favourite book?
>>25642138decline & fall by evelyn waugh. i like orwell too. hope you get better.
I just want a big tittied short bitch
>>25642144Ever read Brideshead Revisited? How does it compare?
>>25642101lol
>>25642126They cried the same tale of woe about MLG being too toxic for advertisers and then gaming was kill. The harshness is a necessary filter. No one chunguses unironically.
>>25642144Thank you.
>>25642153i really don’t like b’head. really bad book, even by not-waugh standards. more and more i think of waugh as someone who wrote one marvellous book (D&F) then WENT OFF having joined the catholic ch.
>>25642105okay so apparently this is just fancy gay porn.Im sorry boys, this mistake is on me
Gonna head to the library at 2:30 to do some reading if anyone wants to join me. I'll be the cute guy reading [redacted]!
>>25642061>hot person: people are so nice!>rich person: people want to help you!>important person: people will listen to you!Exhausting to be around these sorts.
there’s some graffiti in my town that says MANOR BOYS (a local school) & some genius has sprayed over the R to make it MAN ON BOYS
Wait, so if the due dates at the library aren't enforced, that means the book I want to read that's already checked-out and I marked as "Want" in the database thing might not ever show up again because the person has no incentive to return it outside of good will? Fuck me. I personally still take the due dates seriously.
>>25642197i still owe my uni about £30 in late fees. they won’t see penny one from me!
>>25642197Your library doesnt have a detective?
>>25642217Were pretty hardcore here on the internet.
>>25642189pretty exhausting in its own right being around the >unattractive person: people are bad! crowd. imagining you see the ‘harsh reality’ or the ‘ugly truth’ is its own kind of delusion.
>>25642221uh oh >>25642067
I wonder which angers God more, jerking off to loli because it's masturbation or the fact that it's essentially just a cartoon child. Does that bit in Matthew about "leading children astray" apply to lolicon the same way they say it does to IRL pedophiles? Does God care? Or does He make the distinction between reality and fantasy?HMMMMMMMMMMM.... Big thinks over here.

>>25642067>ScrubsC R I N G ERINGE
>>25642234and himym isn’t?
>>25642217But you at least returned the actual book, yes?
>>25642231Seeing as how Jesus said being angry with someone was the same as murder and that sexual immorality is considered one of the worst possible sins... I'd say YEAH, you're going to be thrown into the abyss with a millstone around your fucking NECK.
>>25642236It is, but I've never seen it so I have no frame of reference.
>>25642189>>25642227Combined, we arrive at something like>it is very easy to mistake how the world appears to you for how the world actually iswhich both parties would do well to rememberNow we are free from delusion
>>25642229??

>>25642240You heard the man in the sky. Whether you rape in your mind or reality its all the same shit. I for one think that's a brilliant way to govern. Really snaps incentives into perspective that Jesus fella.
>>25642249Scrap the whole thing and start over.
>>25642238come get it
>>25642251lol
>>25642061No less significant in the character of the Slavs is their inherent tendency toward tolerance and a love of peace. Insofar as the earliest history of this people sheds light upon their origins, customs, deeds, and wars, one finds no trace of the hallmarks of savagery, cruelty, or bestial brutality; rather, a certain quiet humility, gentleness, affability, and peacefulness have always been, and remain, their defining traits. While the Slavs have, on occasion, given brilliant demonstrations of valor and heroism, they have never—unprovoked—thirsted for bloodshed or devastation; instead, they have taken up arms only to defend themselves against the arrogance of others. Others may perhaps seek glory in tallying the number of assassinated princes and kings, the rivers of shed blood, or the multitude of ruined cities and plundered lands; the history of the Slavs, by contrast, speaks primarily of how many peoples they allowed to live in the undisturbed enjoyment of peace, and how many they enriched with the arts and crafts of domestic life and agriculture. When the situation demanded it, they fought—and continue to fight today—with courage and fearlessness; yet they do so not to force other free peoples under the yoke of slavery or serfdom, nor to murder, burn, or plunder, but rather to defend themselves, their freedom and rights, their rulers, their homeland, and their religion. From this characteristic—which elevates the Slav to the status of a true "citizen of the earth" in the nobler sense of the term—one can explain why he never sought the violent subjugation, extermination, or forced assimilation of neighboring peoples; on the contrary, he drew closer to them—and with greater trust—than was perhaps prudent, given the need to preserve his own national identity.
>>25642256What was the word that you replaced with Slav?
>>25642249Being obnoxious about our high concept beliefs without explaining them.>>25642253Do you live in the subway?
>>25642258This is what Schaffarik literally wrote in his book about the Slavs.
>>25642259no i live at apt 2, 68 broadwick st in carnaby. why?
>>25642169Really? I quite liked it.
>>25642279really, yeah. it’s extraordinary how snobbish and boring and soft-headed it is.
>>25642283I don't think we can be friends.
>>25642285i know. honestly it’s astonishing that 1930s waugh and post-30s waugh were actually the same person. there’s probably a lesson in there somewhere.

>>25642426This one ends in a nuclear flash of light though so a chimp out is definitely not prudent. Its actually very unprudent.
>>25642426Why cant we all just like get allong??
1) I just made a thread about a book I'm reading!and2) I listened to the new DIIV album on the way home just now, and while it's nothing new artistically, it's fantastic for walking and driving, so if you like to listen to mindless rock/pop while traveling, give it a listen
>>25642426This time around it'll just be a war between Germany and Russia and we'll all just sit back and let Germany club the fuck out of the Slavs like they deserve.

>>25642460Cool. Just make sure you never write anything you will regret.
How has your novel been coming along?
>>25642261Well he certainly has a rosier view of Slavs than I'm accustomed to seeing.

>>25642511Drink a beer!
>>25642514I'm on vivitrol
>>25642517Is that a boner pill
I'd have been in better position now in my life if only my parents cared enough that I did well in school. I literally boil with jealous rage inside when I have to come face to face with someone my age or slightly younger who's doing much better than me.
>>25642521They are doing better than you, because they do not have that attitude.
>>25642509Surely you have more than that.
>>25642523I've been told as much, but it's kinda hard to shake that attitude when you're fighting an uphill battle in which you have little control over.
>>25642519it blocks the good feel of alcohol, and if anything it's more difficult to get a boner.
yo i swear when helicopters fly past manhattan lower than the towers at night and they have those blinking red and green lights it looks like blade runner now
>>25642521https://youtu.be/HoMLl9WYqgY
man my shoulder blade hurts if i move it wrong and i only have literally one advil left should i go out and buy more
>>25642496not goodI have one (1) scene actually written out and the rest is just notes and outlinesI think it's going to be unpublishable regardless of whether I finish it or not
>>25642530>if anything it's more difficult to get a boner.Fuck, I better not take it then haw haw
>>25642530Sounds like a pretty shit pill.
>>25642536I really need to check out PSH's catalogue
>>25642529Surely the point of having a good attitude is not that life is easy, but precisely that it isn't. There is little virtue in being cheerful when everything goes your way. The real triumph is to remain cheerful when it doesn't.
>>25642543>Fuck, I'm tired of fun. Better take a pill that makes me sober and bonerless. Fire your doctor, anon!
>>25642521People here love to blame their parents. I mean yeah, I'm in the same spot, but it was ultimately my own choice (even though no one explained to me how the whole good grades -> scholarships and good school pipeline actually worked, I still knew it was related).
i think ive been poisoning myself with a dirty humidifier for the last few days, which is annoying
>>25642547I'm no so down and out that I'm ready to begin deceiving myself.
>>25642559I hate when that happens.
>>25642559fug sorry anon
>you will never get recruited to be a glownigger double agent in a foreign country and slowly get close to a beautiful and highly placed foreign intelligence agent and develop a relationship that blurs the lines between love and loyalty to your country only to get betrayed by an unknown figure and spend months imprisoned not knowing if you were set up or not then one day get released in a deal swapping you for a captured spy and get brought to a bridge on the border to a neutral country and as you begin to walk across spot your former lover giving you a sad look from the near side just as a hidden sniper's bullet finds your heart and then as you lie bleeding out you find yourself held in the arms of the one who betrayed you
>>25642554Wouldn't you have liked someone to make that clear to you and offer well-needed guidance? Sure it was your choice, but you were uniformed of what really matters back then as was I.
>>25642554If I listened to my parents more I would be better off but also robbed of all of my Vollmannity.
>>25642569Would it have helped? Sure. But let's real, we're smart enough that we should have followed the example of the other smart kids. We didn't though (for me, it's because I thought university was always prohibitively expensive if you don't have rich parents, so I figured I was going to community college anyway, at which point high school grades don't matter at all -- turns out, if you get good enough grades, fafsa + scholarships + school financial aid will cover almost if not all of it, but w/e).
>>25642568Good. That sounds terrible.
>>25642560Thats alright bro. I may be being a bit harsh. If there is one thing the world has learned the past 5-10 years, is that a persons success or failure is largely dictated from powers out of our control. Its no longer a moral question. But how a person reacts to the slings and arrows of tragic misfortune is what defines a have from a have not

My personal frustrations, with no regard for the audience of this forum>liberals arts program at college sucks because of the faculty and students. supposedly a relatively progressive university but most people are still social chauvinists and imperialists. have to uncritically read a paper about why it's good to privatize border patrol. I'm from Minneapolis so I'm not even going to engage with that topic, even if the professor seems to be a "nice" old lady. classmates are beyond gullible and very complex internally coherent opinions in the analytic tradition that have no basis in reality (for example, denying the existence of cultural hegemony, or insisting that categorical "rights to free speech" are genuinely neutral and not a function of authoritarianism)>huge election events on campus with lots of people libbing out. every professor told us to go vote. I didn't on principle and even had the chance to be randomly interviewed by a student reporter on why I'm not voting for the local Dems because of their plan to build a hypersonic missile factory in our area. blank eye response when I ever mention this to "progressive" libs>interned with a local muslim "democratic socialist" politician this summer and learned more than one(!) employees recently finished their employment at CIA. >talking to paleocon classmate and actually share significantly more beliefs in terms of like isolationism with him than with most other classmates, even as a trans Marxist>ancient Greek professor doesn't respect me, doesn't know my name (consistently mispronounces it) and still misgenders me because of my voice even after wearing a dress in front of him multiple times, despite there being 8 students in the class this semester (classics program is like NOT going to last here with this enrollment)>so called "critical theory" class is full of libs, older guy is auditing it and claims to have taught "critical theory" in American universities in non-aligned countries bordering the CCCR during the Cold War. 99% sure he's an actual opp and glowie>flock cameras put up all over campus >longest lines at the career fair were for CIA and FBI, these are my fucking classmates lol>school platformed Michael Knowles last year who explicitly called for the "eradication" of my community. didn't even get an apology from the university school basically sucks now. grades are okay but I really don't care about this anymore. ofc you can't actually study things that genuinely criticize the regime. everyone here is so fucking submissive and career oriented

>>25642761How are categorical rights to freedom of speech a function of authoritarianism?I'm not going to argue with you, I'm curious. If you want to explain what you mean.
Smoking weed & listening to Evanescence.
>>25642968WAKE ME UP
>>25642969Not even their best song.
>>25642958the categoricity of "free speech" breaks down large qualitative and quantitative differences into a single absolute. peoples personal speech, and it's impact is radically different from mass speech that is algorithmically selected, spread over large networks, and curated to suit the needs of those who own the network. this creates a false equivalence and identification between people's desire to not have their personal speech censored or suppressed (as I'm sure everyone on this board is familiar with, I've certainly been subject to it) with support for mass corporate propaganda. the issue is that people take their personal concern and extend that to groups that very much do not have their best interests in mind.
>>25642976so in short, free speech activism is one of the best examples of false consciousness around today in my opinion

I just had to force myself awake because I had this endlessly repeating dream where I was a thief -- like a video game level I kept failing -- and every time it inevitably ended with me getting tortured, stabbed, beaten to death, drowned, I think I got lit on fire once. The worst part is like halfway through I became self-aware I was dreaming, so I even tried to stop participating, which made it even worse at first because it just meant I was sitting on the floor when the alarms went off and they all rushed over to stab the shit out of me, and then by the end, it changed into a non-thief version where I was friends with the homeowners but assassins broke in, torturing us all. It was legitimately hell.

lowkey considering searching for/joining a discord group that is focused on the pursuit of virtue. Would be nice to have some kindred spirits to bolster morale when lethargy lingers
>>25643111Not to be rude, but considering virtue ethics is all about imagining the ideal moral, virtuous actor, I don't think said virtuous man would participate in discord communities to begin with, especially not at the expense of a real-world gathering.
>>25643112>I don't think said virtuous man would participate in discord communities to begin with, especially not at the expense of a real-world gathering.I tend to agree with you. One could argue that it is a lot harder to find such like minded individuals in close proximity, I certainly haven't much luck in that regard. However I'm not much for gathering anyway, the whole notion of sitting around and talking about proper actions instead of doing them is not for me, in real life or online. With the discord thought, I was more picturing having the knowledge that other people are also walking this narrow upwardly path with me, for inspiration when the eyes and body get heavy.

>>25643111Youre 1000 percent going to end up being played by an assortment of degenerates both in sexual and political nature. This is akin to a fly contemplating visiting a spider's web as a recreational activity. Good luck.
woke up this morning with a throbbing huge erection, now I have to jerk off
>>25643124unfortunately women think this applies to their biological clock
time does not exist
>>25643373You kind of need it to, to have timespace.
my late 20s to 30s was the golden age for my attention span. it has since been sapped by smart phone use. I’m relieved I took advantage of that time in my life and read many of the long classic books that I’d struggle through now, like Anna Karenina, War and Peace, and The Life of Johnson. I had a brief recovery of my earlier ability when I gave up Twitter for Lent, but I was still nowhere near where I once was. life and work makes it seem nearly impossible to “check out” of smartphone-mediated life. I recall when I first bowed to work pressure and got a smartphone. It was an iphone 5 that replaced my LG flip phone. my decline wasn’t immediate. I’d gotten the phone under protest after all, so I made a point to minimize its use. I have tried some of the tricks they recommend to limit use, like hiding apps from the Home Screen, switching to grey scale etc. they all work a little bit but nothing has given my mind a full factory reset.
Why do you find Nietzsche comforting?
>>25643417I don't. He's a worthless, dead, ancient Timmy who never scored and I wish unwashed retards would shut the fuck up about his thoroughly worthless ass.
>>25643378the map isn’t the territory.
>>25643124You're basically just saying that modern thirty year/forty year olds are all mentally immature children. This isn't a comforting prognosis. In fact, it's insanely, absurdly GRIM.
>>25643417i understand him!
>>25643429>keeping your innerchild alive is bad actuallyZ O O M E R I N O M O M E N T O R I N O
>>25643437i wouldn’t lie the blame at the zoomers door for that one. it’s a late millennial idea.
>>25643437You live in your elderly mother's basement, kek!
>>25643439The big chungus did this, really?>>25643441That's right. Gooning & Gayming all day while CONSUMING pizzas and tendies with soddy pops MMMMmmm so good. And?
>>25643441nta but i would lean your weight outside of the 4chan culture ‘kek!’ market if you’re acting as ambassador for the over-thirties.
>>25643448Make me, bitch nigga. You can't so you won't!
>>25643451forgive me! i talked to you on the predisposition that there was a normal person on the other end. (actually i was on your side.)but yeah i can’t & won’t
>>25643426Proof it.
>>25643458how would you prove the time exists in a court of law? you couldn’t. a clock? that only proves movement.
>>25643460Movement of what? What are you counting over there? Grains of sand? Seems a little too flat circle for that. Curious.
>>25643464>of whatmatter. if you stared at a blank wall for 30 mins how would you prove time had passed?
>>25643469The shadow cast by the blinders moving.>matterOh what time can't be matter? Data can't be matter? Hmm? Bigot.
>>25643475shadow is just another ‘thing’. i’m asking you about time. data is a representation. category error etc.
>>25643481So your proof is just dodging inconvenient reality. That's epic.
>>25642061>Genuinely hilarious scene where a guy has a breakdown over having Gay sex.
>>25643489The other sub-plot involves a guy losing ten million dollars and trying to make ends meet through extortion.
>>25643486i tried explaining simply & carefully with you but will now lean into it more: your only evidence relies on ‘things happening’. do you see? the clock doesn’t measure time, it’s simply another instance of the universe changing. do you see?
>>25643494He's doing it again.He's squeezing the slumlord for pocket change. Bankruptcy God does it again!
>>25643505Stop talking to me like the South Park serial killer. You made the claim so I have no idea why the focus is my evidence. Where is yours? Is it arbitrary postulations followed by do you see?
>>25643505>>25643519The sun is up, these kinds of posts shouldn't be happening.
>>25643529I know, right? Where is the piss and shit discourse?
>>25643437explain the concept of inner child. at what age the brain evolves from child to adult, what are the markers for it?is it a certain wavelength, an theory of emotions, what is it
Chinese, especially Daoist philosophy; is based and comfy as FUCK and /lit/ will never, never, never, never ever convince me otherwise.
>>25643566ok
>>25643562Nta, but Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote lengths about this. Parents educate their kids into being pretend-good, then these kids become young adults, they learn to despise the lessons from their childhood and become compulsive retards who act on impulse. Once virginity is lost, wich happens at an age the earlier the more corrupted the education and environment they have received, it's basically over and the brain never re-wires from terminal retardation (because it was the very wiring that provided biological success).
>>25643566Dangerously based. I wish it were possible to discuss it on this shithole of a board without westaboos going apeshit in every single thread.
>>25643562I perceive it as a nebulous mix of past experiences, emotions and wavelength. If you're looking for output I'd look for the chest not the brain. Example: member some cringe shit from yesteryear. How you respond depends on the state of your inner child. In short, when you go for your mom joke the place you go to is it. ID for the Freud bros.
>>25642061The industriousness of the Slavs is well known. This is not to say that other nations are lazy, or that individuals among them are any less diligent or skilled; rather, the pervasive desire to work—found at every level of society, from the highest to the lowest—combined with an exceptional physical hardiness, is perhaps nowhere as pronounced as it is here. Despite the many misfortunes that have befallen the Slavic people and their cultural development, one can still find, across all fields of science, art, trade, and craftsmanship, Slavic individuals who stand on equal footing with the best from other nations. Herder’s appreciation for the rural industriousness of the ancient Slavs has already been noted; yet even today, in most Slavic lands, one sees homes and fields—in both winter and summer—teeming with the activity of industrious Slavic hands. While many other nations may dedicate themselves exclusively to a single trade or profession, the Slavs embrace all branches of industry, commerce, craftsmanship, science, and agriculture with equal devotion and equal zeal.

>>25643657>pervasive desire to workMaybe I am not a Slav actually.
>Slavs>Industrious Kek, you just KNOWN a vodka-swilling toothless Russian RAT typed out that bullshit. You're not "Industrious" Miloj, you're literally just a snow nigger.
>this madheh
Your entire race is the epitome of sloth and degeneracy, Yevgeny. You're not fooling anyone.
I like eating a ton of beets, an ungodly amount of beets, then shitting in toilets without flushing them. It's best to do it in unisex bathrooms with only a single toilet, like Starbucks, and then sit at a table where you can see people going in and out.
>>25642952Fun fact, Lynch's original script was for Frank to be inhaling helium as immersion for his mommy kink. Hopper talked him out of it and deprived us all of kinohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjxvZw1CwQ4
>>25643777Ugh, excuse me sweaty, all these world conflicts and drone tech war only popped off when Slav on Slav. Curious.
>>25643802Your "way of war" is literally still just human attack wave trench war bullshit but with robots and gopros, Sergei.
Fucking Fauvism motherfuckers!!!
Transplant. Perform an act of graft, you understand. Arbitrage

---IMMEDIATE NOTICE---Your on-and-off meds behavior has produced rumors, and I hope they be they only rumors, that have totally discredited the non-reply immediate post. You're absolutely disgusting, you smell like a compost heap. For the good of these threads, it would be best if you tendered your resignation immediately
>>25643828Keep counting. Once we reach number everyone dies because they said so. :3
I am stunned, my lack of ambition has forced me into inactivity and inability. I am inadequate but I still dream.
>>25643829All the rumors are true and I am reducing my showers from once a week to once a month. Suck my dick.
I am still looking for a movie that will blow me awaythis has still yet to happen this year for me
It's insane how many right wing people use the word "Faustian" and have absolutely no idea what it actually means. They all think it means defying all odds or something.
>>25643914I only encountered posters using this ironically. Are you sure you're not falling for bait?
>>25643937Yes. The people posting it unironically most likely got it from others who were posting it ironically.
>>25643914How Kafkaesque!
>>25643914It's the discord zoomers. They're dumb as fuck. The boomers had an education on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh7BZf7D5BwAlso, and obviously, the devil played better. The end is malarkey.
I wonder if Russell Brand would have got a lighter sense if he hadn't, in the past, given everybody in the UK "the ick".
I found a new hangout: a greasy pizza place attatched to a brewery in some random ass shed on a side street. Hells yeah.
>>25643569alright he apparently thought that childhood has its own value and shall not be overboarded and corrupted, but he did not refer to the concept of newer practice where "the inner child" is parts within the adult, that are childlike or self-parts from childhood that have been carried into adulthood.
>>25644028He understood this and tried to grift it away with spirituality. There is a cost to smug no one wants to pay.
>>25643990The downside of being young and stupid and online is that everyone will know that you're stupid and it'll stay online for a long long time.
Read this for the first time as a Europoor. While I admire the founding of America and of course the "we hold these truths..." line is legendary I have to say the arguments against the British king were pretty bad.>He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.Uh ok, this is what you're starting out with? Which laws? And refusing assent to good laws doesn't sound as bad as enacting evil laws. Isn't this supposed to be a justification to the world for your revolutionary actions which will lead to bloodshed?>He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.Isn't this repeating the first point? Which laws are we talking about? Now you've said the same thing twice, making it seem like you're padding the list, without explaining what laws you are talking about. >He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.Finally something more substantive, but still, this is so minor. I assume "accommodation of large districts of people" with "right of representation in the legislature" means dividing colonies into smaller parts and having more local government, is this a hill to die on?>He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures....Really bro>He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.What invasions? The only ones that really made sense were:>For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:>For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:And then you have the complaints about the military actions of the English, such as:>He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.>He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.>He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.... But the whole point of the document is to justify the reasons for the separation which led to the bloodshed in the first place. It doesn't work to point out the bloodshed as a justification for the revolution, since the revolution of necessity began before the bloodshed.
Wondering if getting knocked out gives you REM sleepIf so, maybe there could some money in inventing a machine that knocks you out when you wanna sleep
>>25644066American was founded upon the principle of not wanting to pay taxes, simple as.
>>25644076The American strategy to wealth.>Load up on debt, pass it to your kids, die. The fact that not a single fortune is made legit should tell you something as well.
>>25644076I mean yeah England did treat its colonies like shit because they had a protectionist policy thinking that colonial competition in manufactures would ruin England. So they just taxed them and used them for raw materials. If Adam Smith had lived earlier and published his pro free trade arguments earlier maybe the American revolution would never have happened
>>25643914>tfw didn't go out drinking this weekend so I could studyFaustian spirit!
>>25642061I feel somewhat annoyed by the general younger public using words stemming from say 4chan or tumblr 8 years ago or so. Not because I think us retards ought to have the monopoly on words but because compared to, for example, whites using ebonics, it feels even more fake. It bothers me that the internet entered another wave of edginess, but this time it's just retarded. Also, there is a decent chance that there is a banal characteristic that many people of a certain group have that are slightly straying from the average but contribute in unexpected ways. For example, a person has good balance, therefore they find no fun in the elementary physical games at the kindergarten level, end up disinterested in sport along the way and end up with below average athleticism.
Does anyone else ever get that feeling of it feels to embarrassing to be seen in public past the age of 25? It's like I ought to wear a mask if I wanna leave the house.
>>25644075It does not.
>>25644145This some new social media typeshit. Huh?
>>25644150You right, it's probably just low T. All I know is I leave the house and every time someone sees me I think "God I'm so old, why am I showing my face in public? It's embarrassing."
>>25644066We didn't think we had the world's worst deal. We just though we should be independent. The justifications don't have to be of particularly unfair things, they can also just be things that are obviously/probably incorrect even if they have a somewhat minor impact. Some of then read like technicalities because they are technicalities, but they are usually objections that can't be tossed because they are definite and concrete.
>>25644031I wish I still had the part of my brain intact that liked greasy pizza and Metallica but it's long gone now.
>>25643424Jeet what the fuck are you doing here go back to solve integrals
>>25643898Best one I saw in the last 12 months was probably No Other Choice. #2 was probably The Samurai and the Prisoner. I don't know if they really blew me away. The 4k restoration of Kwaidan was aces but that doesn't count as a movie from this year.
>>25644185Isn't that contradicted by the preceding paragraph?>Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
See I just did it again. Got all dressed up, ready to go out, then looked in the mirror, saw the bags under my eyes, and said, "ah, who am I kidding" and promptly got undressed and am making myself some coffee. It's so over.

damn these episodes of Scrubs with Dan keep making me feel bad because I'm in the same life situation as him and JD keeps looking down on him for it. fug
>J.D.: Hey, Dan?>Dan: Hey, Johnnie. Just packing up. Thought you had to work?>J.D.: I do, but I want to talk to you about something.>Dan: Yeah, what's up?>J.D.: Elliot doesn't want to have babies with Keith.>Dan: Huh. Tough break for Keith. You know, I almost had a threesome with that guy.>J.D.: When I said Elliot would never be into a guy like you, it's because you're a 35 year-old bartender who still lives in our mother's attic and is showing no signs of changing. I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, Dan, I'm telling you this because I think you have the potential to do whatever you want to do with your life. But you have to actually try.>J.D.'s Narration: And then I got the answer I expected.>Dan: Don't you have to get back to work?fuck I just got BTFO'd
>>25644254Scrubs would have been better if the main character actor guy had been caught mouth raping a homeless man using dental gas to knock him out first. Maybe during the last season.I don't mean in the show, just if the actor had been caught doing that, and preferably there would be a grainy photo of very obviously him almost up to the hilt.

I decided to continue reading a book after a few literary sidequests and now my autism is forcing me to reread a chapter because im not 100% sure I finished it. Reeeeeeeeeee

>>25644326The real question is how long of a break until you ought to start from the beginning of a book?
