He is in the long run. Reading now and then is good, but bookmaxxing too much is unwise.
>>221172649I think I get what he's saying. During my time in the psych ward the only book they had was Jude the Obscure which isn't something you should hand to a bunch of suicidal headcases.
>>221172649You need to be a self hating slav deep into depression to fully appreciate Tolstoy
>>221172706>American comedy is a nigger punching innocent people
Meanwhile, Norm Macdonald was obsessed with Tolstoy.
>>221172738sounds like a Animatrix hell world
>>221172809We see how that worked out for him
>>221172730If you love books, read! As long as you arent forgetting to live life occasionally then reading is nourishing to the soul. Tolstoy is the worst thing to read while incarcerated.
>>221172649Why do the prison systems work better than public education institutions in the modern age?
>>221172923>Why do the prison systems work better than public education institutions in the modern age?> No agenda pushing teachers that put education second blow their own personal world views.> Isolated environments with no distractions. > lots of silence to think. > Prison's have better libraries than most schools do. It's amazing how many times someone who was incarcerated would end up writing a best seller novel, or would leave with better art skills, math skills, actually come out more literate than they did going in. Would be in better physical shape too. Prisons beat out schools.
>>221172706one of the last modern adult swim shows that actually fit the spirit of the pre-2007 shows.
Reading books should be like drinking water, you do it when you feel like, usually a little bit every other day, maybe every day, but consistently. Sad that 90% of the human population just give no crap about it unless they are young enough to be compelled.
>>221172649I don't know, so far everything I've read from Tolstoy has been good
>>221172738He's pretty much saying it's useless to try to educate blacks (correct)
ivan ilyich is not something you read at a low point
>>221173000norm hard carried that show but mike has his moments
>>221172649I'm not taking life advice from a violent nigger.
>>221172923>get to pick what you learn>have actual motivation to better yourself>have the time to donate to a study without distractionGee anon, truly a fucking mystery why a dude who has nothing to lose might wanna learn a skill rather than a spoiled brat being forced through 12 years of utter bullshit that doesnt help them be an effective adult at all
>>221172923>>221172989>>221173043The working g class got sentence the a facsimile of an education and I stead are indoctrinated in a rube factory. I didnt gwt assigned to read entire book till I was 15 years old and by then I had been reading for a couple years by my own volition. Classmates where borderline illiterate and couldnt get through lord of the flies and of mice and men. Prison is truly the first time many have access to books and the time to read.
>>221173000>one of the last modern adult swim shows that actually fit the spirit of the pre-2007 shows.I would say that it is the last of the gen x nostalgia driven shows on Cartoon Network. As Mike Tyson Mysteries was constructed around the 1960's and 1970's era Hanna Barbera. Scooby Doo template with a bit of classic Filmation thrown in. Josie and the Pussycats (the 1960's show), The Amazing Chan, Mr. T, Speed Buggy, and stuff like that. Most of the peak Adult Swim stuff was really feeding off the old Hanna-Barbera licenses that Cartoon Network has access to.
>>221173246*get sentenced to a facsimile of an education.
Question: When Mike Tyson goes to Japan, do they call him Balrog?
>>221173301>Question: When Mike Tyson goes to Japan, do they call him Balrog?Nah, they call him M. Bison.
>>221173043most people read everyday it's just social media rather than books
>>221173757no, they always call him boxer
>>221172803Mate if you had read Tolstoy you would know none of them were innocent.

I read Anna Karenina over a decade ago and I remember deeply connecting with one of the characters. I don't remember it anymore but for a long time I felt like my calling was a peasant farmer.
>>221174025You're thinking of Dostoevsky, there are plenty of innocent people in Tolstoy's works.
>>221174062Biggu monkee.
>>221174095Oh shit, have you actually read the books in question? Fuck me dead, why spoil my little joke like that? If you hadn’t protected this anon, I might have made him feel insecure. Now I’ll need to try a different tactic.I have deduced that both you and the anon I originally replied to, are homosexuals of the worst kind, and most probably, butt buddies.
>>221174092This is a typical schizoaffective response to powerful literature.
>>221173172He is more successful than you will ever be.
>>221174268Most of us have avoided a facial tattoo, so there's that
>>221174024bro they haven't been saying that since the 09er wave, and neither have I. He's Balrog, and ''claw'' is Vega. t. former literal #1 ranked Vega player in USFIV and local tourney winner in USFIV and Tekken Tag 2, i say former because I haven't launched UAFIV in like 5 years idk wtf is going on there. I just play Third Strike, Alpha 3 and Tekken 5 with my boys irl now.

>>221172738Maybe they wanted you to be the kid who kills himself for being too many
>>221172649Resurrection by Tolstoy is one of my favorite books.
>>221174471hi dsp
>>221174810Pseud alert
>>221174840How so. I would think a Pseud would pick a more common Tolstoy story, not the one nobody knows about.
>>221174825wrong. I'm australian. try again.
>>221172649Tolstoy himself disowned his works, calling them frivolous fluff. His last book, A Calandar of Wisdom is essentially just a book of inspirational quotes with a daily reading exploring an inspiring theme based on timeless wisdom from across the spectrum.
>>221174121Not him but I appreciated your joke anon, more so because you didn’t know the subject matter. That guy was a fag.
>>221174268I will never be a wife beater

>>221174471thanks for the lore OG
>>221174471Phil?
>>221172706I should rewatch that show, Snoop Dogg's unsolved situations was better but this still was a very good show on it's own
>>221172706>Now Yung, when I get into space, I might realize I'm an astronaut and try to kill myself.This show had no right being as funny as it was.
>>221172830I don't think Russian Realism gave him a belly full of cancer.
