lmao the 21st century diaspora are humanity's most inauthentic people. You're frauds, everything you write or film is phony for the sake of pretentious narrative. Your existence is one big joke up until God pantses you in front of the entire world on live television.

This fake ass thread is the beginning of the punchline. Holy shit what a sad bunch you are.

According to that logic, writing, finishing and selling a bunch of books makes someone retarded.

>x is true because I think it is, despite everything but feels implying otherwise

Ok anon, have a good day.

Science fiction is just window dressing. As a scifi writer I can say that the character development and moral decisions Are the centerpiece. Whether you on a Spanish galleon in1485 with a pirate or a solar system jumping, scout ship with captain comet of the 3rd space fleet, it's all secondary to how the story and characters are presented.

>Hell, I'm convinced you're probably a troll
Fucking why? Because we have the same opinion? Why do you think that's trolling?

6 is by far the best book, as you say. After that, 3 is the best. After that, it doesn't really matter because none of the quality approaches 6 or 3, but I have listed them in my perceived (correct) order of quality... and you agree with me... and you think I'm trolling

all of my wut

I have watched only the first 5 seconds of the video, but I must comment:

>Why the fuck do girls always comment on it being too hot or too cold?

It's an exclusively female trait. All girls do it.

I just recently started a job, one that for whatever reason is mostly female, and during training I was in a room with 15 girls and 2 guys.

Every fucking day, it was either too hot or too cold, and conversation would periodically visit this topic throughout the day. Like, god damn, how many times do you have to bitch about it being too hot or too cold, and why is it *always* one or the other?

Of the month long training, not even a single day passed without the women complaining about the *inside* weather. Not even what's going on outside, but what's going on inside. You have a jacket; take it off! You brought a jacket; put it on! How in the fuck is this a thing? To complain about it being too hot or too cold every single day, when I often checked the temperature and found it to be exactly the same as the day before when they said it was too hot.

Of the training period, there was 1 day that I thought it was too hot, and that's because the air conditioning had broken, no doubt due to one of the mother fuckers changing the termperature every single day to fit their needs.

Fuck

Even worse.

>reading japanese literature
>not reading Yukio Mishima works

After months and months of this people STILL take the bait from arrow-poster and have circular arguments with her.

>read so much post-modern lit standardized test scores are in the 99th percentile for reading
>I have no idea how the actual proper structure of writing because its all postmodern so my writing scores are significantly worse
