Seize the means

Voretooths

>>9459320
If Voretooth is the name of someone, it's a proper noun. Proper nouns get the 's' on the end.

So it would be: Voretooth's

"Where did Voretooth get to?"
"He got cloned. Now there are two Voretooth's."
"Well where are the Vooretooth's now?"

I don't know Final Fantasy though, I'm assuming Voretooth is a proper noun based on the way you've capitalised it. If it's just the name of a species of monster, then it would be 'voretooths', like 'tigers' or 'bears.'

Consider: the plural of 'henchman' is 'henchmen' and not 'henchmans'

I really liked that two part series on elvis.

The Gospel according to Saint Matthew.

good one bud.

every single book that lit is in love with, has been complete fucking garbage when I've read them.

I basically think lit pretends to be in love with these nonsensical "masterpieces" because they think it makes them look smart when they pretend to understand and like them.

if someone recommends a book here and nobody has anything to say about it it's usually good.

Because we're undergoing another global financial crisis; the fourth turning.

People are working harder than ever with little profit, nobody has time to read books anymore. The few books that people do read in their lifetime are, as you said, "nonsensical" trash, and the 300 people that do end up reading it AND reviewing it all give it great reviews.
You know how 5/10 is considered trash in Cinema? In books it's like 4/5 because so few people read them, discuss them, and reflect on it in general.

100 years from now, movies will be the same, because normalfags like to buy trash and eat up whatever shit you throw at them. They prefer simplicity over mental stimulation.

Socratese discussed fitness in Xenophon's Memorabilia. Here's a link to a transaltion:

>Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.

this is great, thanks

>his fingernails ‘which are
long,’ he says ‘because I don’t cut them’. Deleuze continues: “One might say that my
mother used to cut them for me and it’s to do with the Oedipus complex and
castration (a ridiculous interpretation but a psychoanalytic one). One might also note,
looking at my fingertips, that I haven’t got the normal protective whorls, so that
touching anything, especially fabric, causes such irritation that I need long nails to
protect them’

He was a nutter
