Uh... I like girls? Why wouldn't I enjoy reading/watching cute girls fall in love, get flustered and sweaty? Are you gay or just that much of a self inserter

>I wouldn't recommend smoking to anyone if they don't already
Naturally, the health implications are reason enough to not make smoking a habit on a whim. However, smoking solved a problem for me I didn't know I needed solved: Often I feel tension and stress building up inside me, so great and intense that everything seems unreal and I don't think I could live with it any longer. Normally I would just have to let it subside and suffer through it, but I tried smoking during these times and I don't know what it is, it just really calms me down. Maybe it's placebo or just the way it takes you away from what you're thinking about. I only ever smoke 4-5 cigs a month but I found it to be quite therapeutic in keeping my nerves in check. Maybe others can relate. If you want to smoke, I say smoke.

I was reading it and I only got to page 140 or so. I'm just not liking it. I find Paul and the way every character thinks about how great and epic he is really unlikable. What's even more grating is that he's written that way too. "Paul used his super awareness training and could tell that this guy was lying for sure." "What an astute observation he thought his son had made." He's a genius, capable, compassionate, 15 year old who's also the messiah. Maybe I would have liked it more when i wasn't a bitter adult but I just find it hard to sit through. Does it get better? I dropped it yesterday because it alone ground my reading to halt because I didn't like reading it

Guys, I really need to know whether I should join the army. I fucked my A-Levels and I really don't want to go to some third rate Uni and resitting looks really unappealing.

If someone was going to think you were a try hard for reading they already were, reading is a try hard hobby in the first pave, might as well own it. Just say what you're reading and give as many autistic details in casual way as you can. Retards will swoon and pseuds will weep. Pussy retard nigger

“I’ve been thinking about God a lot recently.” Is what I would like to have written, but more accurately I’ve been thinking about thinking about God, and I’ve concluded there isn’t much for me to think about. No great question that could be answered, no mysterious to uncover; it seems little can be gleamed by pondering the machinations of God. With that I wondered why so many think about him, and why so many great thinkers spend their lives pondering not only his existence but the meaning of his theoretical existence. Personally I find no interest in thinking about God. Perhaps there is simply nothing left of worth to be said or thought. So after thinking about thinking about God I’ve decided that no one should bother thinking about God simply because it’s a waste of time. Is God powerful? Probably. Is God loving? Maybe. Is God real? Sure, actually no, except perhaps. If God is real and loving and powerful why do bad things happen? Because of sin, or free will, or evil, or maybe God hates you, or maybe God loves you. Maybe he’s just not real, or powerful, or loving. Maybe omnipotence creates both suffering and joy, actualising truth to the extent, and maximising meaning. It’s not worth thinking about. Just do your own thing anon.

Everyone used to smoke, so a lot of writers in the past used to smoke, so we see a lot of their characters smoke as well. As readers we're often influenced by the thoughts and actions of these characters or perhaps become more inclined to find smoking appealing as we enjoy antiqued mind sets from older books. Also it's fucking cool; walking behind a beautiful babe while she's smoking a cigarette and sucking up her second hand air is how i cope with my crippling loneliness, makes it hard to walk with a boner though.
