It's on a self-selected topic related to critical race theory. I think technically we were supposed to tell our professor what the topic was, but it's a bit late for that now. At this point in law school I'm just happy passing classes

>I always write very poor, superficial female characters.

Are you implying that your male characters are deep and emotionally complex?

Wish people would stop asking this retarded question. People who can't write females are almost always incapable of writing men as well, and for precisely the same reasons.

I grew up in the states, but I didn't grow up in any of these places. I lived six years in Sacramento. Me and my brother both have weird, affected accents.

More he can't be arsed talking to Ben Stiller again.

No need. The correspondence that was published showed Harris to be completely outclassed and out of his element, to the point where any reasonably neutral observer would consider him a dishonest and in all respects vastly inferior adversary, essentially unworthy of Chomskys time.

Tldr: Harris got F'd in the A.

It's a book young adults should read.. IMO.

Why would you want friends?
Kill yourself op

sifting through the obnoxious, and the /lit/-style autists will drive you crazy.

if you must, try poetry readings or open mics that cater mostly to writers/poets

You have a large extended family composed of eccentrics.

>>7447324
ok, see. here's a problem: why did you include the word "composed" there? "a large extended family of eccentrics" means the same thing. tell me—do you have many friends? any at all?

>>7447314
You appreciate tradition and things that are simple but elegant

Started with a pirated version of Scrivener.
Eventually payed for it since I came to rely on it.
All the structuring options were useful to me since I'm working on a world building project, but the decision still fells silly to me. As does the idea of paying for any kind of word processor in this day and age.

essence of knowledge is the same, regardless of subject.

>>7456563
But there's a difference in its form. I would feel better about being a man who knew a great deal about a few things than a man who knows a little about many things. I want to understand some fields as much as possible and I want to respect them.
