/lit/ - Literature

It's clearly a peak in Kauffman's obsesion with himself and how his head works. Its view on humans as a constantly repeating fractal of things we were at a certain point and things we got from others isn't particularly new but the presentation was very nice. The time shifts were maybe the most interesting "quirk" for me, not only when they bring up how time has passed but also the way people get older or younger during the movie.
The moment in which she buys the burning house really hit me, loved the line "it's also important to chose how we're going to die". Again, Kauffman loves talking about himself and having linesw reflecting on other sequences is part of that.
Great acting all around, the daughter got me quite mad.

This isn't /lit/ related.

I don't think it's a mental disorder, but I don't want to check the definition of "mental disorder" and it might be more extensive than I think. What I believe is that all the self destructive aspects come from the way people interact, disphoria isn't inherently harmful, you hurt yourself because of a lack of a better way to deal with it.
If it were perfectly acceptable for each person to regulate their hormones to whatever levels they want there would be no issue about this.

Again, I think so. It's a heterogeneous group.

>>5946571
it's only problematic because there is a social tendency to reject it, hormonal treatment is old as fuck and shouldn't be an issue to anyone ecept the one taking it (and the one adquiring/selling it, but more of an economic issue). It's not that different from how homosexuality was seen, most "different brains" explanations are weak and just as injustified as previous attempts to justify it as a desease but with words that sound more real right now.

It could be perfectly dealt with if societies were taught to not care just like at a certain point it was rude to tell people not to smoke in your face.

I understand if you disagree with me, but please try not to take a stand as a representative of all trans people. Even if you somehow discover the perfect argumentation it's insulting to assume that everyone feels the same way.
Cheers.

Rights aren't given by the masses, you seem to have a poor grasp of how society tends to work.

>>5946437
Because the narrative is that it's wrong. If it were something anyone could do if they want it would be entirely up to each trans person to go and buy hormones. But since it's a desease there needs to be doctor aproval and it enters into health care in the places where it's a thing.

A Confederacy of Dunces. You'll learn how people see you.

You haven't heard about the evolution of society and culture through a similar process than genes?

>>5946110
Are men and women expected to do the same in every society? Every man has the same definition of being manly? Does everyone think that muscular men are the manliests or does everyone think they are the most insecure? Are we born knowing how to behave? Do babies act manly or femininly?

Well, my dear anon, the less you've been here the better it is. But theere were infographics and shit explaining how the captcha system worked and making calculations about how long it would take for the first page full of nigger and shit.

>more fantastic
As in, fantasy genre.

They never even thought to ask!

I haven't read too much about it, but for what the translator note said in my spanish version most of the posterior edits were taking things that were more or less opinions to put them together in other works. He did the editions so to a certain extent it's part of his edition process, it just took him a decade to really get sure he liked it like that.
If you want a wider picture he has more bio stuff, the edition I have include a couple of extra texts and you can tell how he starts turning into a more aesthetic writer with time.

I'd like to read his more fantastic books but they are hard as fuck to find around here

I really enjoyed Junger's adventures in the front lines of WW1

It's not like that, if you compare the people baiting this kind of threads are in any sense superior presenting ideas than anything you'd find in /lgbt/. It's just a really pressent topic in 4chan and after a while people take the things they read as law.

Don't you mean eagle strikes?

How new are you? it was a thing when it started, trying to fill google's libraries with "nigger"

>manlet

>not eventually accepting manlets since that's most of the population for you

bookphiles know the true pain of that feel when

They have to start reading the burgoise propaganda from an early age.

Wanna know something ugly?
My dad had a few incunables; both volumes of Don Quijote, a dictionary and a couple more I never opened. It was all left in his house when he died and the ceiling started breaking apart exposing a broken pipe. It was dripping on top of them for months.
We sort of recued them but most covers are practically destroyed and a few ilustrations fused with the protection page.
How does it feel to know people around the world are fucking up things you'd love and protect with all your heart?

>spelling
no, I mean the minuscule system.
>records
Yeah, good things there were all those copies of the texts in all those destroyed libraries. Oh, no, wait, catholics were the ones who thought that making as many copies of every text they could find was a good idea. I'm sure we don't need all those greek texts they saved.
Yes, other cultures did the same. Two people making something right without a connection doesn't make any of them wrong.

>Buddhist
I was thinking about Zizek's talk about Buddhism, he brings up how zen masters all for dying in the battle field. But I was joking, there used to be many threads about buddhism being a dead cult, it was a meme last year.

Drinking helps with that. I hope you know you're not alone.

>there's no debate about whether or not gender is socially constructed, the definition of gender is "the socially constructed aspect of sex."
I don't wanna keep fanning this thread but its so nice to see a more direct and simple understanding about a topic from another board in /lit/. This is just a superior board.

It sshould be a joint.
"It’s a metaphor, see: You put the happiness thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its joy."
That's 4chan.
