retard.
I've learned English, I've read the complete works of shakespeare, all of joyce's books, the entire KJV, GR, moby dick and other great books without any type of problem.
You are just another burger that although have never put any effort into learning a second language holds such a retarded and limited opinion about it so that you can feel less shit about being a lazy, arrogant and proud imbecile.

>he ended up finding it fascinating how similar it was to traditional sports, right down to the drug use, back door contracts, slimey managers, unbelievable come backs, thrash talk in multiple languages, etc.
Suggesting the notion that competitive gaming is just like real masculine sports only makes the nerd pandemic worse.

>We're fucking boring
Your attitude legitimately disgusts me. What, do you want Australia to be America? Europe? Asia? You are one of the exact causes for what you're complaining about. You think Australia's lifeless and is a leech off U.S and British cultural imperialism? Then you're just gonna fulfill that idea. Interesting, although really suspicious, shit happens under our noses because no one in Australia looks inward, nor do other countries seem to pay us much attention. It does not follow that this place is boring. You're the boring one. Fucking do something about it.

I saw this article from the AV club posted on facebook and kind of got triggered. Why do people pretend that Dune is deep or complex? It's really not more complex than Star Wars or Lord of the Rings at all, thematically or plot-wise yet this nigger and popular opinion seems to claim so

>For all that the book is in terms of its influence and acclaim, Dune has the plot structure density of a supermassive black hole. Yes, Star Wars tells a better visual story (for the most part), but taking into account the kind of detailed, non-cursory perspective of every character, setting, background, and thematic narrative down to the subatomic level would make seven films work just as an introduction piece if there was any hope of giving any semblance of justice to the depth of Herbert’s book. The simple fact is that in its own strange way, a film’s inability to capture the enormity and grandeur of a book is less a criticism of the filmmaker and more a testament to the book’s incalculable brilliance.

>"I wonder if the absence of War & Peace in the comments is because it is genuinely good, or just that no one's ever finished the damn thing without getting Stockholm Syndrome. Seriously, have that book, am a voracious reader, and I still can't get past the second chapter. "
