There are probably ten thousand books you should rather read, but if siege is the book you want to read, what is the problem? You're not gonna find it in a book store, so I guess you could print it out? I assume digital formats is what you have a problem, otherwise converting to a non-pdf format and reading it on an e-reader is also very easy.

I'm interested lmao. Nozick and deleuze are very much contradictory as far as I can tell, and they're not even that related.

>>14591223
No? Are you an idiot? Or, I guess, some might like it, but definitely not in the way that would make them like you. Also, I'm presuming you're single here, but if you're already in a relationship, then maybe, but you should know already in that case.

Attractive means high status generally. Gainsbourg is obviously attractive even though he's physically mediocre.

Wrong. The correct answer is the first critique. Curiously, the book that will make you lose all your money is "The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times".

Aragorn is obvisouly pronograpic. The cloak is a metaphor for the foreskin, "grasping it" is a metaphor for masturbation (obviously), bright refeers to precum, same with shone, anduril is clearly the penis/phallus. Elendil is pretty much what he said >>14591205 "IM COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMING" basically.

Comics are literature, so Ben Garrison is the Ben Garrison of literature.

Joanna Newsom is a cast memeber, and I like her a lot, so I think the movie is good.

Damn look at that head. A lot of thinking going on in there.

DFW is actually very based. I remember hating Infinite Jest when I read it, but even today, like 5 years later, I'm still constantly reminded by "scenes" in the book.

Is it a series of practices? I think religions implies ritual not practice. Practice could refeer to literally any vocation, couldnt it? Religion is obviously very hard to define, but something like "a worldview describing humans purpose in the world, embedded in a culture, and practiced throught rituals" is the closest i can come up with on the spot. I think science only becomes religion, when people start thinking science can be used to solve normative questions.

disprove what i said, pedo

The optimal level of exercise is 200 minutes a week. All-cause mortality, intelligence, happiness are all the highest there. Your quote is nonsense lit-babble.

The fact that you have to point out that shes a trans person disproves that. Gender is a complicated social phenomena, and everyone treats her like a woman, she goes by she, doesnt she? This makes her a man.

I'd suggest not caring about it being a rip off. In general, and this goes for all productive endeavors, whether it be composing/writing/building/painting/chess-playing, you ought to do something so much that the lower-level stuff becomes automated, ingrained in your fingers, subconsciuos. Of course, try your best to write a good plot, but plots are half-way planned and half-way created as the story goes along, and the better you get at doing the lower-level stuff (creating a scene, creating characters) the more brain power you will have left over for thinking about a plot, and the more material your brain will have to create a plot out of.

Man I love you. I actually thought about posting this picture when I saw this thread, because I got it saved on my phone. I love apu. What a soul. He's the one who deserves to win.

Come in this server p84Z8b on discord, and post "yeet" in suggestions.

The clip you posted shows the number of people caring dropping to zero, but you obviously care. Are you insinuating that you are a noone? Yes you are. Shut up. Spend 10 years reading hegel and nietzsche and I'll listen to your opinion.

Can you explain how shes wrong? If child porn helps pedophiles control their urges and not rape children, that would mean that not allowing child pornography would lead to more children being raped. Is that what you are for? More children being raped?

Hmmmmm, is this true? I might become gay to challenge my thinking of social relations. Also, I can't stand almost all women.

>One day Anonymous was out walking, with a gait gay as a gas chamber operator. With the sun behind him, and his shadow before him, his vision darkened. Was he fainting? No! Oh God no! Oh God please have mercy on his poor soul. He's serenading, he cannot see or hear what is above him. It's a what? Its an enormous turd! *SPLAT*. Anonymous died a STINKY death that day.

Well thats a very very complicated question actually. To sum it up quickly: the Kantian conception of synthesis is not something the kantian system can explain its more superficial interpretation, because it is fundamentally a psychological one, but when Kant actually does explain it, which he tries to do in the transcendental deduction of the categories, the account of imagination and the self in itself is completely opposed to the one psychalaysis presupposes. If you want to know more, I suggest reading the critique along with good secondary literature, like Guyer or allison. After that reading about German idealism, starting with fichte, then reading Hegel.

Why would you give him a book if he doesn't like reading? If you wanted to get him into reading, you should probably give him some very easy literature with a clear point, and anyone who reads gets something out of. You could give him something like 1984, Enders game, Lord of the Rings, but I'm not sure he'd read it.
