Why has homosexuality changed from an aesthetic predisposition to one of "sexual orientation"?
Is there still room for an aesthetic kind of homosexuality today? Is there a name for it?

I was speaking to a friend who's making a little bit of extra money through "publishing" ebooks on kindle.
My question is, who the fuck buys this bullshit indie crap?
Has anyone here published either sellout money makers or legitimate works on Kindle Amazon?

I have no experience with it myself, but apparently smut is good at making you money if you go self-publish it on kindle
>>
>>7445276
Call me cheap, but i wouldn't dream of spending $2.99 or even 99c on smut.
Do people really spend all day buying/reading random unknown shit on Amazon?
>>
>>7445299
I think there's some kind of best-selling list on you can access, if you are in the mood for reading smut that's probably the easiest and fastest way to do it.
Buying smut is probably more of an impulse decision you make in the moment, rather then something you plan for a long time, I reckon

Honestly greentexting and paypay are interesting language games, they're really alien and opaque compared to normal human language.

Is The Ecology of Freedom worth a read?
It's the basis of this, supposedly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava#Democratic_Confederalism
>When it comes to Rojava, Russia is approaching the Kurds with a significant amount of caution as it does not want to open up another military front against Assad. The USA however, is openly hostile towards Rojava. The USA went as far as not allowing entrance to Salih Muslim into the USA for a conference. During the Geneva Conferences, despite Russia's insistence, the USA was adamant in blocking an independent Kurdish delegation from attending the conference. Currently, both the USA and the Turkish government are imposing their policies on Rojava through the agency of the KDP. However, it can't be said that they are being successful.

I haven't heard of the book before but the US are complete bastards when it comes to the Kurds. They exploit them however they want. At least with Turkey, they're always dogs to the Kurds but with the US they'll not support one group to appease Turkey and they'll fund another to commit terrorist attacks in Iran and they'll support another to fight terrorists they funded.
Bastards.

Did you read the link? The Kurdish set up there is extraordinary, especially for the Middle East.

>>7445065
I don't think you understand my comment. I know of Rojava. I'm speaking about US policy with Kurds.
i just turned 22 and i am realizing that i know nothing and have accomplished nothing. i went from being the kid who read too much/was curious about things to the depressed loner/druggy in high school. and the past four years i have worked at two dead end jobs while doing nothing of value in my spare time (unless you count aa and a codependent relationship with a girl "of value"). i have no college degree. i have not read any of the important books. i have no particular skills besides listening to and reading about music. even that, though is pretty surface level and i don't really know much. i'm sorry if this sounds like a blog post, i just hope that there's someone on here who understands and can help me. i'm sitting here wanting to kill myself over all of this wasted time. the only solution i can think of is to go to community college for as long as i have to until i can transfer to a good school, and while doing that read as much as possible, learn to play an instrument, watch new films often, learn a language, keep a semi rigorous schedule and work out/get good sleep/eat well. if you have any other suggestions i'd really appreciate it.

Start with the Greeks. Not memeing. Start reading philosophy. Start eating and sleeping regularly. Stop wasting too much time online.

I'm tired of it. I'm just sick of this whole entire website. All it is just stupid memes and retards bickering with eachother about whether "X is better than X". You people have no respect for anyone or anything, and the site just delves into crappier territory every day. I can't fucking stand the fact this is the only site on the net that is a Imageboard.
One day, I'll make 4chan pay for what they do to people.

I got a kindle paperwhite secondhand, but you can't organize books into collections yourself.
What is the point of this thing existing? Why would a device even be released so intentionally hamstrung and gimped? I have 300 books on here and I can't categorize them in any way, forcing me to just scroll through them?
Garbage.

I didn't fall for any meme, it was free. But I'm just blown away how a device released in 2011 could be so terrible. I'd rather read on my 4.5 inch cell phone than this thing

You can, faggot.
Thing is, Amazon fucking despises its consumers and decided to lock that option if you don't log into your account. Just as Wikipedia and translation options.

a "wank fest" can be defined as a book that seems to be typed with one hand while the author jacks himself off with the other

Particularly Either/Or? I found him recently, and holy shit, something about him really appeals to me.

What's your favorite book with less than 250 pages?

Almost all of my favorite books are less than 250 pages.
In Watermelon Sugar, maybe.
>>
Caligula.

Variations in size and font and typesetting means 250 is pretty broad. If you want to ask what's your favorite short book just ask that or say like 100-150 pages...
