biz marcus and the fat tyrant teacher are opposed to being yourself, they're all about forcing yourself to conform to some spook of what is natural, which ironically requires decidedly forced behaviour.

It's a difficult life to live, but working is even worse.

My work schedule changes all the time, so my routine is constantly changing. I mean, it's 2:30 AM and here I am at work.

Also, how is this /lit/?

you mean they should be legally allowed to urinate in the same bathroom?

They generally have pictures, don't they?

Explain to me how light novels differ from more verbose picture books. What makes them "light"?

The clue is in the name. They're not very mentally demanding or intense.

some of them enjoy writing or feel the need to write things out and when you have a lot of time to do it you do it

I think you know the answer to this anon. Not even a half, no, a fourth, or his books are well thought out in the slightest. And the one's that have something going for them have some of the shittiest endings I've ever seen.

Better example would be RL Stine's copious number of Goosebumps books he's written. Not one of them is not utter formulaic trash that's even bad by YA-standards

Just do preventative/corrective exercises and don't worry about posture as you read, it's annoying. Youtube the exercises they are effortless stuff.

Collectivism is inherently authoritarian.

Its 20€ in my local bookstore and probably the only copy of Mein Kampf that I'll ever get my hands on.
