Did you make this thread because of the thread making fun of bad covers?

talk to a professional about your problems

you're probably autistic

Alcoholics Anonymous, replace "alcohol" with your vice of choice

>>8042653
socially anxious perhaps, not autistic. 4chan tends to use autism as a blanket term for anyone without perfect social skills

>>8042379
Never fuckin' heard of him.

Or of you. Now scram

is it worth it to buy The Corrections? how close is it to making the top 100 meme chart?

>>8042406
I loved the corrections. It was a social realist novel (honestly, reminded me of Austen and Eliot more anyone else) with enough postmodern fireworks to make it interesting and challenging. Better than IJ in my opinion

Beautiful midnight puns for pinters to pontificate o'er.

Transgenders and transsexuals are mentally ill. They have gender dysphoria. Medical "doctors" (I put doctors in quotation marks because doctors are supposed to help people) are telling these people that it's okay to feel this way, and it is, they can't control it. However, the issue is that the are glorifying and promoting gender reassignment and hormone therapy. Compare this to a schizophrenic. If a schizophrenic tells his/her doctor, what they are feeling, seeing, hearing, the doctor will tell them, this is okay, which it is. We have treatments for schizophrenics to help them cope with their mental illness. This is the same approach that should be taken toward transgendered people. Instead of promoting gender reassignment, promote coping strategies. By allowing people to do this to themselves, in twenty years time we will have tens of thousands of people with mutilated bodies that completely regret it.

working out is humankind's ressentiment of death desu. nietzsche wouldn't work out. he'd just eat incomprehensibly large portions of fruit on a daily basis

US Highway 16 (US 16), also called Grand River Avenue for much of its length in the state, was one of the principal pre-Interstate roads in the state of Michigan. Before the creation of the United States Numbered Highway System in 1926, the highway had been designated M-16. The modern route of Grand River Avenue cuts across the Lower Peninsula in a northwest–southeast fashion from near Grand Rapids to Detroit. Before the late 1950s and early 1960s, US 16 followed other roads between Muskegon and Grand Rapids, and then Grand River Avenue through Lansing to Detroit. In the years immediately preceding the creation of the Interstate Highway System, US 16 was shifted from older roads to newer freeways. Later, it was co-designated as an Interstate. When the gap in the freeway was filled in around Lansing, the US 16 designation was decommissioned in the state. The freeway was then solely designated Interstate 96 (I-96) east of Grand Rapids and I-196 west of that city.

The original pathway along the Grand River Avenue corridor was an Indian trail, a footpath used by the native population. This trail was later used by the first European settlers to the area now known as Michigan. In Detroit, Grand River is one of five major avenues (along with Woodward, Michigan, Gratiot, and Jefferson) planned by Judge Augustus Woodward in 1805 that extended from Downtown Detroit in differing directions; Grand River Avenue extends northwesterly from the city's downtown. In the middle of the 19th century, the trail was expanded into a plank road that formed the basis for one of the first state trunkline highways as M-16 in the early 20th century. Later, the highway was rerouted to replace M-126 and create M-104. Current segments of the roadway are still part of the state highway system as sections of M-5, M-11, M-43 or business loops off I-96. The portion of Grand River Avenue in Detroit between I-96 and the intersection with Cass Avenue and Middle Street in Downtown Detroit is an unsigned state trunkline, sometimes referred to as Old Business Spur I-96 (Old BS I-96).

wasnt supposed to be a response dafug

horse masks are not new sincerity

they are faux sincerity
same with adult cartoons like adventure time

they are a secret irony 'you wouldn't expect a grown man to like this but i do!' that people think makes them interesting/cute/quirky

genuine sincerity, yes, it is a good way to live. reading ironic fiction does not however interfere with this. i can live passionately and genuinely while enjoying the very ironic works of barth and pynchon and vonnegut

Absolutely this, sincerity comes from a willingness to recognize your own patheticness and suffering not disguising it around manchild pride
