hey reddit, whats up?

To me there was the obvious physical violence, but there was also a violence was woven into reality. It was as if everything were intrinsically violent or came from something akin to violence.

But yeah, physical violence can reach a point where we tend to stop caring, like it just becomes pageantry (e.g. The 120 Days of Sodom).

I'm a pleb who really liked the film version of the road, I guess I should start reading McCarthy. Is his writing similar?

I actually hope it's someone on here.

On one spring morning Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden found the Hemulen whining about something again. They asked what was the trouble and after more moaning they finally got out of him that his stamp collection was complete. He became a stamp collection owner, and this bothered him. "Collect something else" was their general advice.

Your hobby is to read. It it brings you so much anxiety you should think about giving it up. There will always be more books. Get to the ones you want to read and enjoy.
And stop posting here with your problems.

No, but it'll be extremely painful.

Need for what?

>posts this from a technological device to the internet

Technology is useless. All you need in life is food and a mate.

If you do away with books, do away with any other comfortable luxury that isn't directly tied with the limits of your biology, you cunt.

DELET THIS

You're not actually supposed to take any of those things literally.

Anon opened the thread listening to his wife's wet whispering farts.The perfume of her hole assailed him and set his fingers to shitpost. Astride his chair he shitposted on and spat and shitposted more with men across the world all entwined in the ungodly net that spans the globe like an intricate web of a spider that is not of this world. He spat. Lo! my dear wife! A calm board and a mild, mild thread. Four years ago -- four years ago! -- I made my first shitpost in a such a thread! An underage anonymous! Four years of continual shitposting! Four years of wanking, and tendies, and shitstorm-time! Four years on the pitiless internet! For four years has this hacker forsaken the peaceful reality, for four years to make war on the memes of the deep web! 4Chan seemed unearthly. He was accustomed to look upon the shackled form of a conquered meme, but there — there you could look at it monstrous and free. Or perhaps he'd had too much punch in his kirsch that night. It was indeed the crossroads of his mortal life, and he had to celebrate. Some natural tears he dropped, but wiped them soon; the internet was all before him, where to choose his place of rest, and Providence his guide: his dick in hand with wandering eyes and slow
jerks he took to his solitary ways.

Fucking degenerate.

A character who really changed my worldview is definitely Katniss, from the Hunger Games.

Fucking degenerate.

A character who really changed my worldview would have to be Ignatius G Reilly though.
