i "fall in love" every time a cute woman talks too me and treats me nicely, however what i describe as "love" here is likely not an accurate usage of the word, as i have never truly fell in love with a woman

A little goblin, hugging a huge thigh, trying very hard to cum.

>>18235231
I cringed.
>>18235234
Holy fucking cringe.

What was Aragorn's tax policy?

That cover feels like it’s burned into the back of my eyelids at this point

Stop making threads early, autist.

Ringworld is great so far

Do you dare defy the Fate given to you by Heaven's Will?

Do you dare fight against a the leader of humanity for the last 3 million years?

Do you dare to rise above a status as mere mortal, and reach for Immortality?

I've felt that way about exams in the past and ended up getting a better-than-expected grade. In my experience with language exams, they'll cross reference the question and grade on a curve (maybe discount questions which were ambiguously worded and recieved a wild variation in responses etc.)

>>18235065
How'd you fuck your dog on the exam? Did you bring it and fuck it in front of everyone? Was it online? Did you fuck the dog on zoom? Was it a take home exam? Where's the dog now? Why have you decided to fuck animals? Did you use a condom? Are you American?

>>18235065

>>18235065
How can you screw up a language exam lmao

>>18235065
It's OK frend. Even if you did poorly then it's just one exam and you don't even know how it'll be until you get the grade back. No use worrying about it now.

>>18235034
I don't get why this book is so hyped. It's genuinely Morrison's worst book by far. Both The Bluest Eye and Sula are far superior.

>>18235034
Never got taught this book in school, but I didn't think it was terrible. It was just okay, I agree with >>18235056 though, everything else I've read by Morrison was more enjoyable. Tar Baby was my favorite.

>>18235000
What factions did it have? Or is it a secret (which is fine)? For the post-apocalyptic stuff, I had a mutant faction (which I tried to make as realistic as possible, researching about actual genetic diseases), a generic bad faction (not that interesting), a generic good faction (occupations are turned into warriors, they forgot what they actually were, I stole this from the modification) and a religious fundamentalist faction. I also researched homemade weapons and what guns are the most numerous (such as certain hunting rifles) and resilient). I also thought about which plants and animals would likely inherit the post-apocalyptic world.

>>18235081
I've tried making my own scenarios, but they either seem too out-there or like knockoffs of either real history or books I've read. Still trying to get that sweet spot

The only worldbuilding I do is to tell a story. I don't have autism.

>>18235176
>caring whatever his activities point to autism
How did I know you like David Foster Wallace and those other two pretentious writers?

>>18235210
I don't care and I've never read the /lit/ meme, I'm just glad I don't have autism.

Ah yes, that great heartland of Eastern civilization, Western Europe

§1055. Turning giants into midgets

We all have black ancestors, somewhere in our distant past, even Asians do. And thus the question naturally arises of how a seven-foot-tall, 300-pound black man who's hung like a horse can, over the course of a few millennia, turn into a pale Lilliputian Asian man with a penis so small he can barely see it. And that too is part of the history of civilization, or as Zarathustra put it, "the virtue that makes small".

>>18234979
I thought that was weird too, however the text specifies Europe and her offspring as all Western. Clearly whoever made this outsourced the map to some goof and didn't specify the instructions or double check the result. I hate moneh.

It just means you're a faggot, and I will quote for the best philosophical book ever:

"DEATH TO FAGGOTS. TOTAL EXTINCTION. SHOW NO MERCY TO FAGGOTRY WHEREVER YOU FIND IT. ONLY WHEN THE FAGGOT LEARNS HIS PLACE AGAIN—IN THE CLOSET, WITH HIS STUPID MOUTH SHUT ON PAIN OF PUBLIC EXECUTION—WILL WE BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT A CIVILIZED SOCIETY AGAIN, WILL WE BE ABLE TO BREATHE OF CIVILIZED AIR AGAIN FREE OF THE CUNTISH SMELL OF DIGSGUSTINGLY WRETCHED ANTI-HUMAN FAGGOTRY, AMEN!"

Not really, with Dune I agree with or at least like a lot of his opinions (do not follow people just cause they are charismatic, you can judge a thing just as well by its absence, and many more) but I also disagree with a lot, especially some more fundamental problems (like his views on religion for example). And usually people create their opinions on less important topics based on their fundamental beliefs, and so when I agree on some rando topic with a guy with whom I share little few fundamentals I feel like either I am misunderstand something or something like that

>>18234825
Think on why I disagree with the authors main points then reread because I still will enjoy their work. As it's seperate from them as a person to me.

>>18234825
>has a message
than its good despite its "message" but if the message is overt and is the whole point of the book, than its not a good book
>or the author himself was a horrible person?
doesnt matter in the least bit
>For example I cannot get into any of Nabokov's shit cause the guy was a super conceited asshole
filtered by daddy nabby. baka

>>18234825
Whenever that happens I stop giving a shit. Then I feel fine again.

What the fuck even happens in Nigeria? You don't hear much from them.

short answer: inverted population pyramid causing older males to poach younger females, leaving young males with nothing

long answer:

>male bias sex ratio, ~51.3% [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4413335/]
>used to be mitigated by higher rates of miscarriage, infant mortality, and fatalities in tribal warfare
>no longer the case due to medical advances, resulting in persistent young male surplus
>coupled with inverted population pyramid in developed world

I will die a virgin, yes.
But I will not die alone or without love, for I will die in God's embrace. And I will join Him and Saints in Heaven.

What do people think of state mandated population growth? Consider China, for example. They will experience a population crunch in the coming years, and this is the single greatest thing to any dreams of hegemony facing them. Is it unreasonable to think that the CCP will institute a 3 child policy in the future? They could augment this with the mandated inseminations of single women, etc. In a Western/democratic country this is impossible, but I think it could be done and will be done in places like China.

Sad copes. No degree of spiritual delusion can replicate the bliss triggered by intimacy with a woman.
