Can we get a survey on what other boards /lit/ browses and how much? Interested to see others' interests.

My most frequently visited board is /out/, followed by /lit/ and then /diy/ and then /trv/ once every couple months I'll see what's up on /mu/ and /tv/ but those boards have too many high-schoolers (so does /lit/ desu)

I regularly browsed /x/ back in 2008. before it devolved into creepypasta and role-players. Now I rarely visit.

I've got one particular /vg/ thread I visit.
and recently It's been nothing but /co/

I haven't looked in /lit/ for years until this weekend. It's changed into

Hello /lit/, I am a psychology undergrad, started college this year. I've taken interest in cognitive psychology and read about this guy. Does he have interesting ideas? I know he criticized behaviourism a lot. Which books does /lit/ recommend?

Nice quads m8. And yeah, I know he is a leftist, but I don't really care if he writes interisting shit. Most of my favourite fiction writers are leftists.

I sighed, feeling myself exhale. This was not easy. it was time to put him out of his misery.

I remember when I had first heard that phrase. I was a young child and walking with my dad along a dusty country lane near a village we used to stay in. A faded memory of a time long gone to the annals of unwritten history. At some point we discovered an old, worse-for-wear rabbit lying beside the road. It did not look good. My dad went over, crouched down and examined it.
“Well”, he said after a moment, and sighed, “thought as much.”
“What is it dad?” I asked, taking a look. The rabbit had sores all over its body, it lay docile and weeping.
“This rabbit here has myxomatosis. That’s a viral infection, son. It’s man-made. It was introduced by Australians in the 1950’s to curb population growth. There were too many rabbits, so the people needed to cut them down. So they made this. The disease creates a terrible skin condition, the rabbit goes blind. It has no hope and it will live in constant, agonizing pain until it dies.”
“Dad, that’s horrible!” I yelled.
“I know, son. That’s why we need to put it out of its misery.”
“What do you mean dad?” I asked, as he put a plastic bag over his hand from his pocket, and leaned over and picked up the rabbit by its hind legs. It twitched slightly as my dad walked with it over to a dry stone wall.
“Stand back, son”, he said, and suddenly he lifted the rabbit up high, and then swung it down hard against the wall with a loud and gruesome crack.
“Dad!”, I yelled, as I watched him toss the rabbit’s limp body over the wall and into a field.

David was going to be that rabbit, we had already caused him enough pain.

It's fine but it feels like your sentences are back to front, and I'm not /lit/ enough to explain why.
>>
>>8514827
Your phrasing should be simpler. I get the feeling you're trying to seem clever in stead of writing cleverly.

i grew out of my edgy atheist phase when i studied philosophy in college and realized all of the smartest and most interesting people around me were some kind of theist.

I feel like there's a point in philosophical maturity where many people realize that faith in a higher power actually makes more sense than many other views

We'll never get to see literary works like those inspired by people who lived through history in the 20th century again, will we?
Would it even be possible for someone to release masterpieces like those inspired by WWI, WWII and even Vietnman today?

I am simply wondering whether or not we'll ever get to see work as good as that produced by people who witnessed 20th century history firsthand. IMO we haven't.

Are you asking if there are going to be wars again? Because there sure as hell will be.
