Every post beneath it will be a follow up quote without any context, in an upside down staircase of less upvoted quotes you can follow down to a pool of unupvoted quotes.

fuckin doubt it. Women don't mind a guy who's funny, arrogant and knows it. They can smell a guy who just quietly thinks he's smarter than everyone because he doesn't have the balls to actually act like it from a mile away.

>>8845366

Quite the opposite actually for me. I agree that most drug users are escapists, but don't let the retarded twenty year olds you once knew define psychedelic users as a whole. Those people were retarded because they were twenty and because they only hung out with other escapists, not because they tried drugs. Tryptamines used properly aren't party drugs, but introspective catalysts and pathological deconditioners. They force you to look inwardly and face the reality of yourself, your motivations, your patters, and it does so vividly and in emotionally charged ways. For me, it's ego-maintenance to be done in moderate amounts and not often and never as a social drug.

Not LSD though. I've only been into weed and dmt for years.

You could say that for a lot of drugs ie amphetamines and weed. But psychadelics can help foster periods of introspection and reflection that last longer than the trip. I've done LSD a couple of times while surfing/bushwalking with friends and feel it's helped me appreciate life a lot more and move away from ego driven/hedonist life choices.

Obviously. I don't think anyone on this board, given Joyce's and Shakespeare's and of course philosophy's obsession with science, are going to shit on the concept of STEM. Well, maybe TE (incidentally, the only parts of STEM that earn any notable money).

dude, just read the first two or three chapters
protagonist is cold steel the edgyhog, his gf dies and hes like "whatever"

theres so much shit on this book i don't know what i should talk about
the writing is bad, 85% of characters are bad, when the story starts getting good he just breaks out and make it boring again...
i remember in the end of the novel i was cheering the villains, because the protagonist is so shit

>>8844292

Well, that's why they're in school. To learn and better themselves at their chosen trade. I wouldn't expect a student of writing to produce a worthwhile novel or a publishing student to produce a worthwhile ad spot any more than I expect a student of biology to find a new way of accounting for protein structures linked to cancer cells.

To get cucked, divorced, and then lose half or more of your property and money.

>>8851458
Spousal payment laws need to catch up with divorce laws. If you want a divorce because "you're unhappy," that's a-okay, but you shouldn't expect to get any money or anything.

>>8851467
Not going to happen. It's only another piece of the puzzle.

>>8851467

There's no good reason to even allow divorce. Vows should mean something.

Perhaps you could actually get to know somebody before marrying them, and if all else fails you can separate. Divorce doesn't mean you have to live with somebody. It means you only get one shot at it so you better try your hardest to make it work after the little tingles in your loins wear off.

You're misusing the term edgy.

>>8851523
>Divorce doesn't mean you have to live with somebody.
Well, typically, no it doesn't, you're right. What?

>>8851528

Marriage doesn't mean you have to live with somebody.

>>8851467
The real solution is to marry within or above your income bracket.

>>8851543
And stay married within that bracket too.

>>8851531
Uh huh. Where are you going with this?

>>8851556

With proper courting you can tell if somebody has violent tendencies, and I'm not saying that if a spouse does end up beating you that you would have to stay with them. Being married doesn't mean you have to stay with them. You can separate and your spouse would be obligated to care for you financially. This was how it used to work. The only difference is that you couldn't divorce and remarry. This would stop a lot of bullshit and it would encourage people to work together so it never gets to the point of violence.

>>8851572
>With proper courting you can tell if somebody has violent tendencies

>>8851575

Date somebody regularly for 6 months and if they don't beat you then they probably never will.

>>8851580

It's common sense, I'm not claiming it's a scientific fact. Don't be dumb.

>>8851582
>It's common sense,
well then

>>8851586

I think you're being unreasonable. If you're with somebody and they exhibit any sort of violent impulse that early on in a relationship then there's a very good chance that they'll do it later on in life. Don't marry those people. I think 6 months is a good probationary period, if you're dating somebody that can go that long without getting violent in any way then they're probably not going to beat you during marriage. Do you have any reason to think this is wrong?

>>8851619
someone is "probably" not going to be violent to you regardless. eristic af wordchoice

>>8851631

Yeah there's always going to be outliers. This still wouldn't justify allowing divorce because people can always separate and maybe reconcile later on. As I said this was how it used to be and the woman could separate at any time and the husband would be obligated to care for the wife no matter what she did.

>>8851654
>and the husband would be obligated to care for the wife no matter what she did
Then this is the same problem as with alimony, except worse. And it also puts pressure on the woman who was in an abusive relationship to not get in a relationship with someone else, even though that is the logical and healthy thing to do.

Taking away the option of divorce will force people to make decisions with their brains rather than with there loins. People would be a lot of more careful of who they decide to get married with and once they're together the inability to divorce would serve as a motivator to make the marriage work, to work through problems because you're ultimately stuck with that person for the rest of your life just as you promised. The ability to separate is merely there because mistakes do happen and sometimes people don't act logically, it's not meant to be an attractive option or else what motivation is there to work things out with your spouse?

Wew.

Marriage should be an institution between a man and woman strictly for the raising of children. If the parents cannot successfully create a healthy environment for their children, the marriage is dissolved, and the children are placed with a new, healthy family. In this arrangement, there are no mandatory legal financial ties between man and woman.

>>8850268
Thank you. I just try to be open and not to judge things only on their face value. Life is hard, no reason to make it harder for people trying to follow their passions. They're just trying to dull the pain of existence in their own way. Kudos to them.

Where did that come from? Also, take your feminist bullshit elsewhere.

That's nonsense. I'm a phys/maths major and I read predominantly philosophy, poetry, and works in my fields that you guys aren't likely to have heard of.

If I read novels at all, it is the same kinds discussed here - Dostoevsky, Proust, Tolstoy, Kafka, Carroll, etc.,. My STEM friends are similar in their tastes.

What you've posted is actually the list of your average STEM Fanboy.

Some stuff was a little weird, for example some of what are now the sffg fags liked Silmarillion and the Hobbit but not LoTR in a hipsterish kind of way (although for sure the Hobbit is better written). The trinity was quickly established. I think at that point an awful lot of reading was lit crit and phil though. But all sorts of crazy shit, a fair amount plebby, but quite a bit off the beaten track too.

>The only difference is that you couldn't divorce and remarry

Bullshit, abandonment was grounds for divorce.

>>8852508

People could divorce in the time before divorce existed? Oh my bad.

>>8852536

Divorce has been around for millennia, as far back as the Roman Empire.

>>8852554

No it hasn't. You're confusing modern divorce with the concept of legal separation. The latter wouldn't allow for marriage to a new person which is what really separates it from contemporary divorce.

>>8852561

>No it hasn't

It literally has my dude. And "contemporary" divorce, by your definition, has been possible in Britain since 1857. You had to have a reason: either abuse, abandonment, or adultery, but people could and did get divorced and remarry.

>>8852575

1857 is relatively recent when the conversation is about the entire history of marriage, and that's not how divorce worked in the Roman Empire.

>>8852584

So in your ideal world, we would go back to the way things were before the nineteenth century? That's what it's going to take to save society from degeneracy? Okay bud, whatever you say. Seems autistically harsh and inflexible to me but I'm probably not an expert in marital issues like you are.
