You're fucking scum. Kill yourself.

What? I was helping her. It's my job.

Depends, my free time after work is literally only reading, rarely watching films and some shitposting but not too much.
Usually what I do is read a chapter and then take a look at the threads that interest me (if there are any at all) for a couple of minutes then back to another chapter but I can read for hours without problem.

Has it always been like that for you or did you build towards it? I would love to read for hours but I feel like my brain doesn't let me. I find myself rereading quite frequently once I hit a certain point.

Pride & Prejudice

Atlas shrugged.

Oh, sorry, didnt see the "good"

>>8959606
The Great Gatsby?
Not 'good' but 'okay'.

Trophies viscerally embody heroic glory, not just weakly, optionally indicate it. Having trophies of your glorious deeds and the enemies you've killed is absolutely necessary. It's also central to the aristocratic culture of Dark Age Greece, and many similar societies, to give weighty, "storied" trophies as gifts and exchanges to one another, to bind each other in friendship etc.

>Time (tee-may) is the honor or recognition which the hero expects to receive in proportion to his "worth" (arete). The word time may be used in a fairly abstract sense, like English "honor;" it may also be used (sometimes in the plural, timai) for the gifts or prizes which are the tokens of honor--for example, the share of booty from a captured city given to each warrior who helped to take that city. The quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon in Book I of the Iliad starts when Agamemnon threatens to take Briseis, a captive woman who was given to Achilles when he sacked her town. For Achilles this is an intolerable loss of time.

Thanks for the response, but there's this part I don't get: if the prizes are collected centrally then distributed after the battle what need is there to strip the dead enemies' armour during a battle? Wouldn't it be safer if it were done after the battle? The only reasons I can think of are 1) to destroy the enemy's morale 2) to ensure prizes of some sort in case your side flees the battle

Also why don't the Achaeans load Patroclus' body onto a chariot instead of carrying him all the way to the black ships?

>>8959549

excellent quality bait friend

Yesterday I bought cleaning supplies and hardcore cleaned my entire apartment for hours on end, getting up early and skipping a meeting to make sure I had enough time, because I had a girl coming over in the evening. She had to cancel at the last minute, so I sat in my pointlessly clean apartment, got slightly drunk, ate three entire bags of individual Reese's peanut butter cups, and watched an entire Minecraft Let's Play.

I'd like to take advantage of a unique perspective from under Cara's cute feet!

You should read right wing books that people don't explicitly ban but try to shame you into not reading because ugh they're just so bad and dumb that you shouldn't even bother ugh, ugh.

The negro is fundamentally the biological inferior of all White and even Mongolian races, and the Northern people must occasionally be reminded of the danger which they incur in admitting him too freely to the privileges of society and government…The Birth of a Nation … is said to furnish a remarkable insight into the methods of the Ku-Klux-Klan, that noble but much maligned band of Southerners who saved half of our country from destruction at the close of the Civil War. The Conservative has not yet witnessed the picture in question, but he has seen both in literary and dramatic form The Clansman, that stirring, though crude and melodramatic story by Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., on which The Birth of a Nation is based, and has likewise made a close historical study of the Klu-Klux-Klan, finding as a result of his research nothing but Honour, Chivalry, and Patriotism in the activities of the Invisible Empire. The Klan merely did for the people what the law refused to do, removing the ballot from unfit hands and restoring to the victims of political vindictiveness their natural rights. The alleged lawbreaking of the Klan was committed only by irresponsible miscreants who, after the dissolution of the Order by its Grand Wizard, Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, used its weird masks and terrifying costumes to veil their unorganised villainies.
Race prejudice is a gift of Nature, intended to preserve in purity the various divisions of mankind which the ages have evolved.

I hardly wonder that my racial ideas seem bigoted to one born and reared in the vicinity of cosmopolitan New York, but you may better understand my repulsion to the Jew when I tell you that until I was fourteen years old I do not believe I ever spoke to one or saw one knowingly. My section of the city is what is known as the “East Side” (nothing like New York’s “East Side”!!!) and it is separated from the rest of the town by the precipitous slope of College Hill, at the top of which is Brown University. In this whole locality, there are scarcely two or three families who are not of original Yankee Rhode Island stock—the place is as solidly Anglo-American as it was 200 years ago. Over on the “West Side”, it is very cosmopolitan, but the East Side child might as well be in the heart of Old England so far as racial environment is concerned. Slater Avenue school was near my home, and the only non-Saxons were ******s whose parents work for our families or cart our ashes, and who consequently know their place. Imagine, then, my feeling on entering high-school and being confronted with the offscourings of Judea! True, some of the Jews were intelligent; in fact there were some very brilliant scholars among them; but how could a child used to other children like himself find anything in common with hook-nosed, swarthy, guttural-voiced aliens? Repulsion was instinctive—I never denied the mental capacity of the Jew; in fact I admire the race and its early history at a distance; but association with them was intolerable. Just as some otherwise normal men hate the sight or presence of a cat, so have I hated the presence of a Jew. Then, all apart from this instinctive feeling, I very soon formed a conviction that the Oriental mind is but ill adapted to mingle with the Aryan mind—that the glory of Israel is by itself. Oil and water are both desirable, but they will not mix. And the more I study the question, the more firmly am I convinced that the one supreme race is the Teuton. Observe the condition in the British Isles. The English are wholly Teutonic, and therefore dominant. The southern Scotch and eastern Irish are also of that blood—they certainly surpass their fellows to the north and west. The Welsh, who have no Teutonic blood, are of little account. Had it not been for the Teutonic infusion at the beginning of the Dark Ages, southern Europe would have been lost. Who were these early “French” kings and heroes that founded French civilisation? Teutons, to a man! It was the Teutonic might of Charles Martel that drove the Saracen Semite out of Gaul. Who were the Normans? Teutons of the North. It is pitiful to me to hear apostles of equity pipe out that other races can equal this foremost of all—this successor to the Roman race in power and virility.

I would, if I didn't have a family and a strong fear that you would murder me. Or even worse, be an awkward person.
