Keep buying our movies, watching our tv, listening to our music, playing our games, and using our internet.

That there's something terribly sad and banal about that

That we're welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games

That the internet is far, far worse for society than television ever was

It's really not that bad but I have a predisposition that makes me cringe when I read anything from this board

>It was that moment that decided it. He may have been trying to emulate the original Sacheverell Bower as closely as possible, but the congenital heart defect made worse by rheumatic fever when he was seven? That was too much. The inconvenience would be the death of him.

It doesn't really make sense out of context.

if he's against Muslamians and pro-white-male-virginity then he's a fucking Hero of the Redpill to me.

He gets a bit repetitive.

He's a genius with an almost flawless body of work

There are many ways to do it, you can spice it up or you can keep reusing the same way. depends on what type of audience you are writing

sounds like the problem of an amateur

Are you writing a children's book? I literally can think of no reason to add this to any sentence if you set up the context properly.

Try again.

I think there is a certain intellectual cowardice about the refusal to read contemporary literature. Those who exclusively read the classics only concern themselves with questions of understanding.

>what does this mean?
>how does this relate to that?
>what was the author trying to say?

That is all well and good but when it comes to how you personally experience the work, the classics reader defers to the test of time. He doesn't ask himself if he thinks the novel is good, he doesn't ask himself if he thinks the prose is well written, he may not even ask himself if he likes it, because he decided the answer to all those questions before he opened the book.

When you read recent publications, there is no authoritative voice to guarantee the value of what you're reading, and so it requires a far greater degree of introspection. If we read to learn more about ourselves then you do yourself a great disservice by ignoring contemporary literature.

thank industrial capitalists for it being cheaper to kill 0.3 trees to have those pages in there than to have no extra pages because they couldn't design a machine properly, or rather, it was less expensive to not do so.

>>8995446
It's for your personal notes
