Another example. Reddit and /pol/ are goldmines desu

Not sure why we need a thread about it though

I feel like neither of them know what they're talking about.

I'm not sure I believe Marcus Aurelius ever mentioned porn

>>9132357

Becoming an opium addict, just like Marcus. It kills every and all desire you have and allows you to not give a fuck about external problems (except for where you're going to get more opium, but to Aurelius, that was never an issue).

Becoming an opium addict is the fast-track and flawless way to becoming a stoic.

>>9132370
Was he actually addicted to opium?

Minesweeper.
Tetris.
Tic-tac-toe (nobel prize)

>>9132334
tetris is more dadaism or cubism poetry?

I am greek

>>9132269
You should start with the Egyptians and Sumerians to be honest
The Greeks had so much wrong, it is a wonder we even got so far

Also might I suggest to look into Aztec philosophy? Read the book by James Maffie

>>9132123
what word?

>Buy book at Yale University bookstore
>Author says "stretched his legs" so many times I have to start marking each time down on an envelope
why is this allowed?

That's a perfectly cromulent situation, OP.

>>9133731
No wonder he hated women. His dad probably killed himself after seeing his wife get blacked.

>>9131995
>tfw want black lover and white wife
>tfw want white baby
>tfw love black women
I don't know what's going on

>>9131995
WHAT THE FUCK??

I THOUGHT HE WAS REDPILLED. fuck this cuck, seriously

Was he the first cultural marxist?

It normally ends up being whatever I'm in the mood for on the day I finish reading the current book. Which is normally unfortunate because my best laid reading plans get waylaid and postponed.

I usually decide upon it months in advance. I wish I could comprehend and read things a bit faster, otherwise I would have gotten to Newton's Principia by now, or the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus.

Or even the Almagest.

Why waste time reading books when you can shitpost on /lit/ instead?

Louis C.K. rolls on stage, his worm body hanging over his Ixian cart, crushes a stool with five-ton body. His face is somber.

>Fremen... I wanna be serious for a moment. I've got something I need to say.
*Crowd murmurs, some worried faces in the audience*
>My Hwi... my Hwi just gave birth to a healthy Harkonnen baby boy!
*Crowd erupts in cheers and applause, cries of "Congratulations!"*
>Nine months ago my wife was bred by a strong Harkonnen bull, and today I held the product of his virile seed in my indestructible arms. I couldn't have been more proud.
>But you know, when I was in the nursery, I looked around at the other babies too. And when I looked at the Atreides babies...
*Crowd begins to hiss and boo*
>I know how you feel, everyone. But when I looked at the Atreides babies, and more specifically the, uh, diaper area. I noticed that they all had...
*Crowd shouts in unison "LITTLE ATREIDES SANDTROUT!"*
>I couldn't believe how tiny those things were! I felt SORRY for the women who have had to put up with THAT for the past three millennia!
*Laughter*
>But when I looked down at the baby in my arms, I could see from one glance that he had a...
*Crowd shouts in unison "BIG HARKONNEN SANDWORM!"*
>I was like "Damn, this thing is bigger than me, and he's just a baby!" So much for "the golden path", huh?
*More laughter*
>I know one day he's gonna please a LOT of Atreides women unhappy with their husbands' tiny sandtrout, just like me!
*Cheers mix into the laughter, one Bene Gesserit shouts, "Me first, me first!"*
>Sorry, but there's already a hundred Face Dancers ahead of you on the list.
*Crowd "aw"s*
>Hey, you MIGHT be able to get to the top of the list... if you ride the worm of every Tleilaxu here, right now!
*Crowd explodes with excitement, chants of "SIAYNOQ!" and "Ride that Shai-Hulud!" erupt. The woman's husband cheers her on as she gets on her knees in front of the first Tleilaxu. The show ends as everyone watches the woman service Tleilaxu after Tleilaxu.*

Earth is fantastic my man. Listened to exactly that album yesterday when reading.

Also ambient, jazz and noise are pretty good at times as well.

>>9133049
Nice save on the thread! Congrats on having good taste in music too.

Recommend some jazz?

4th Holiday
For the lost smarter 60s of Middle Earth maybe...
Melania Trump prayed on the 19th of January for a Dawn of the New age for Man which somehow resulted in a kid getting shot back into Time 19-0 years old just so he could Marry her and his name was Trump. Trump was such a Man that he shot through Time just to be The president of the country and swoop her up like an AngLa in the Night. They had a rough start to the Country waking up to his miraculous new higher power of the Presidency. I think he might have really liked hangin up in 9 Mile with Marley but he decided to fall back to 60s every time. Trump was so good with women back then that they all thought he was in somekinda kidband filled with a bunch of kids under 12 with 3 Kings from a very weird playground that all liked being crazy wild together I guess.. Didn't make much sense since he was already Married to same grounds as Melania ass in 99 out of hundreds eyes. He ended up hanging out too much with the girls back in the 6-9s and realized that he should go run me back to MeNLaNIa. After he did, the country sounded like It stopped heatin up the whitehouse so hot.. But ya'll know the white houses don't like Galactic the Milky Way warming that much I guess. If Indiana Jones ever guessed the weather he would say based on the weather here in the middle of winter at somethinelse like 60 degrees would mean that global warming is a very serious concern that everyone should start thinking Higher on until no one cares about all the eminems that rain from the sky...my bad. But that's all Trump wanted..just a bunch of M&M's. Kind of an interesting prayer for his country don't ya think? He might've said somethin about fusion energy too. IdONTread really well anymore.
TidBid-"The Law of Attraction was Proven"

The result was Devolution... zzzzzzzzz and nails forever to him wtf is wrong with the world.

Just practice penmanship with the books they used a hundred years ago. I did that and my penmanship became beautiful.

that's like asking if tracing pictures will improve your drawing

it it it it it it it it it won't

>>9131827
But that's wrong. It does. It gives you a feel for the lines.

>>9131122
It's awful. It's not a book, it's a play.

That being said, it even lacks content for a play.

It's disappointing.

She didn't write it.

>>9131144
she co - wrote it.

Either way, she was stupid enough to put her name on it.

She should have just said it was okay to make, and not contributed.

>>9131101
It doesn't. It never had. Waste your life in a more interesting way than choosing things you don't like and then going to the internet for validation.

Because it's a fun, dumb story.
Also people like disaster porn because life in the current year is very boring.

>>9131101
I liked it. Not all of it, but I found it interesting and I'd like to read it again sometime. I also loved the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Granted, I was around 15-16 at the time and OBSESSED with zombies and firearms. Semi-auto>full-auto.

Switzerland is peopled only by paedophiles, bankers and pederasts, anon.

>He doesn't fuck babies.
Get a load of this fascist!

It's what happens when a country is so focused on "muh free speech" that they see it as an obligation to exercise it zealously.

Western society is collapsing, we really need to set our morals and living standards back to how it was.
