Yes I have 2, one being more modern and electric. They aren't worth it.

I used to have one as a kid. They're inferior to computers in every way except the cool sounds they make when you type.

It will probably end up sitting around if you buy one but it is pretty cool to ink stamp. Can be "problematic" to keep maintained as well

Who cares. Most grammatical rules are arbitrary unless you're in academia.

I'm such a craft ale addict. I'm like a zombie on the weekend without it! I try not to drink not than 3 local craft brews day, but let's be honest, including my daily post-prandial Fernet-Branca I have with dinner, that's literally impossible.

>Can one have top tier knowledge and be respected on a topic without directly studying it in a university?

If you have courage of the heart, and ability to tell your peers no, and an internet connection, yes.

No, academia killed polymaths.

>>8119774
For the second question, certainly. Autodidacts are everywhere, especially when there's so much information online nowadays that you can give yourself a graduate degree in anything for free.

For the first, it depends on what you mean by polymath. Making novel contributions to disparate fields is something that's very unlikely in 2016; academia is simply too deep anymore.

But if you just want to have a solid base of knowledge, say at the rough level of an undergrad degree, in multiple subjects, that's not so hard.

>>8119754
yes

No but I own one of DFW's dogs

>>8119754
Why is that autographed by Arnold?

Seasonally, The Recognitions is more of a winter book T B H. Though I'm reading it now myself (at page 630 now) and do agree that it's infinitely better than Dave's jest.

so many niggas getting meme'd. they don't even know the organizer never read the book. he's just trolling them lel

lmao where the fuck do you expect people ti even find this old man shit? their grandpa's dusty ass attic? get real man

nah

that's not what a metaphor is

a foolish young character telling another character something doesn't have to be correct

Like, these are the best books for that right?

The Room

Babyfucker and 120 days of Sodom I guess.

u trollin' or what? this is just a list of the different definitions of "culture":

- An ideal state, such as "he is very cultured"
- A process by which meaning is created
- A vague way of describing all of the ways that social practices tie a group of people together and define them.

>>8118424
You dirt pleb, what don't you get?

The author is saying culture as represented by Long Revolution is not entirely correct. Not only is culture evocative in our everyday routines, but it permeates every thread of society and can even be seen influencing events that would have been thought to be exclusive.

if we're talking about text, not prose, then it's some shitty legal shit that employs extremely dense language that's 25% legal definitions and 25% references to existing or proposed laws

or some coding guides since I don't know anything about coding

basically anything that's written about a narrow subject matter by experts for experts, if you're not an expert it's like staring at a brick wall

I do enjoy reading stuff like that for that specific experience

Basically Nietzsche's life and work.

He failed though.

What's your ailment, friend?

>>8118095
Basically Hemingway's life and work.

He failed though.
