Give me one reason why I shouldn't just read enjoyable masterpieces of postmodernist literature like The Recognitions, War & Peace, Mason & Dixon etc while reading through sparknotes and summaries of works to understand the references/allusions, while also watching TNG, shitposting, self inserting as the girl while I masturbate, listening to insomnium, the music from Sharpe, using asmr for female intimacy and to help me fall asleep, while ALSO saving hundreds if not thousands of hours I would've spent on mastering a second language.

This is an absolute lie.

By reading 'basically the entire western canon' you get a far better _depth_ of understanding when you read the 'fun books'. If you don't care about depth, and just want the internet-tier breakdown, then you should do that... But your experience won't be as delightful. :)

Okay.

[I think you should be excited at the idea of learning about the timeline of works leading up to the current, classic novels. Or give up reading, kid!]

>>9631852
read whatever you want until you want to read the classics. This is what happened to me at least. I was a dirty positivist who needed to keep reading to break free first before I could appreciate the classics. Essentially, if you don't like classics, it's because you're not emotionally evolved enough to get what they're getting at. Which is okay

I never got this. The acting was fucking shit, the aesthetics were shit, the soundtracks were alright and mostly everything else was shit too.

>/int/ and /lit/ tell me english is a shit, nonsensical language and I am automatically less intelligent for being monolingual
>/fit/ tells me running and bodyweight exercises at home will only stimulate my "girly muscles"
Literally true. Regarding the second one, you can consider bodyweight exercises as some shitty form of cardio, at the very least.

You can read that right away. You're probably not going to get it though just cause you're a retard that says shit like Tolstoy is is postmodernist.

english is the greatest language in the history of the earth, the only people who say things like this are third-worlders and europeans with a sour-grapes complex that grew up speaking some secondary language that the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about. funny how we're all speaking english right now, even the ones who speak other languages. i wonder why that is? hmm..

They had different standards you fucking theater critic. You're literally on the level of YA-readers who stumble upon a Tolstoy novel and complain because it's boring and misogynistic.

elizabethan english had some ring to it I'll give ya that but modern english (espacially the american brand) is the most dumb'd down language ever, why do you think it's so easy to pick up for literally anyone? Good language for shitposting on msgboards but horrible for literature

War and peace is a grand part of western literature. You can start wherever you like because you're never going to fully understand it --western lit-- anyways

It literally doesn't. Unless you roid or do heavier bodyweight stuff like muscle-ups with bars etc you'll just look DYEL.
>>
>>9632846
As someone who did bodyweight for years and just recently started working out again with weights, this guys got it.
I was skinnyfat all of highschool doing ridiculous amounts of pushups and situps and running. Been lifting a month and I can already see a difference in my shoulders and chest

>You're literally on the level of YA-readers who stumble upon a Tolstoy novel and complain because it's boring and misogynistic.
Nope, not the same at all. That'd be more akin to comparing genre/way of directing. I.e. synecdoche vs an action movie. Text doesn't have the same elements film does. I'd never levy this complaint against books, paintings or instrumental music (if one prefers electronic music then that's another thing)
>>
>>9632876
Yeah, seriously. Some people are seriously deluded when it comes to these types of things, weights feel either scary or like a big investment (having to acquire them if you don't like/want to go the gym and having to learn proper form) but it's the right way.

His definition of "meathead" is probably visible muscle though, let's be honest.

To be completely honest anon, it sounds like you just don't want to put in effort and time to improve yourself. It also seems like you need group validation because you actually care what /mu/, /tv/, and /int/'s opinions are. Be your own man anon, everything you've listed is a spook.

What? You know how cryptocurrencies have fluctuated? Up.

Started mining a few years ago and it single handedly has been the best decision I have made in my adult life.
