I have a small penis. What are some books for readers like me who were not lucky and blessed by God in this life? Men with big penises read stuff like Tom Clancy but what about fellas like me? What should I read?

I just saw a translator mention like 40 people in the acknowledgments section. Then another translator just dedicating the translation "To my mom." The latter's translation was better.

Many historians of the past just made up the whole thing, some names and places might be real but the whole narrative is invented. People used to think these fictions were factual, later they were labelled as obvious myths and legends and now they're literature.

>This is a work of fiction. Names and characters are the product of the author’s imagination and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Should I learn German from my native language or from English (I'm ESL)?

You are a midwit atheist if you actually think that religion will go away any time soon or believe like Ray Kurzweil that in just a few decades (!) we will be able to reach immortality. Religion is one of the most innate parts of humans and is essential for keeping society together. You atheist bugman think you've surpassed religion yourselves, but you engage in quasi-religious copes yourselves, without which society wouldn't function.
And another thing: materialism is demonstrably false, as proven by the fact that qualia can't be accounted for by the physical sciences!

I know so many people who listen to this shit. What's the appeal?

What's a more worthwhile culture to explore in terms of languages, Far Eastern (Chinese, Japanese) or Near Eastern (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish)?

I'm like half way through my Ancient Greek textbook and I've been waiting for Greek to get hard, but that hasn't happened yet. Maybe -μι verbs will finally break me.

My friend told me he was reading the Odyssesy and upon asking what translation he picked and him telling me that he picked the Emily Wilson translation I audibly burst out laughing. How do I explain myself?

Leaving a Abrahamic religion is very very hard, and obviously I'm still divided. I was raised incredibly traditionally catholic, which I am actually grateful for because my father is a very intelligent man and he taught us logic and math and history very well. He greatly encouraged our education through classical philosophy and such, but ironically it's that sober mindset he imparted which is now leading me away from the Catholic church.
It's very hard to do and I'm still scared of an eternal hell of suffering, but I don't really believe it much. I don't know if people who weren't raised in a similar hardcore Abrahamic religion could understand.
I'm considering just taking Pascals wager and just adhering to the technicalities of how to go to heaven.

I don't remember exactly what book but I was going through this whole existential crisis regarding death and the afterlife and consciousness and then I had a dream where I was walking down a sunny suburban street when an Amazonian sex goddess comes round the bend wheeling herself on a wheelchair.
She was nude and bedecked with gold, feathers and flowers and such. Beautiful. Her legs were on the arms of the chair and as she gets closer Save That Shit by Lil Peep starts playing in my head and gets louder and louder as she gets closer.

Eventually she reaches me and I collapse on her and cum in 2 seconds, I wake. It's a hot summer night with the fan blowing, no blankets and lots of cum in my underpants.

My self analyses was that I needed to get back in touch with my animal self and not think of myself as an angelic being of pure consciousness.

I spend so much of my time and energy on religious and philosophical study, trying to find an answer to higher questions I guess. But I'm kind of getting upset with it, isn't it pointless, there's a million smart niggas who died with some conviction or another and what difference does it make.
I want to just go a level lower in consciousness and just focus on actually living well, I don't mean hedonism, I mean just doing my best to be a good person for my friends and family. Maybe I've learnt enough, and besides, the basic sense of morals my family gave me seem to be good enough.
But for some reason I'm not really excited about normal life, and I find joy in reading existential philosophy and giving myself a brain aneurism, it's just stupid, I'm not going to make any breakthroughs, I have an endless amount of top level thinkers to study first.
Maybe I just need a break.

Kikes really are assholes. I've been getting really into comparative religion (I'm kind of loose Catholic myself) and I've been asking all these questions on subreddits. Muslims are bros, they'll give you thoughtful answers, tell you they pray that Allah will bring me peace and open my mind etc. Any Christian group will do this too, Hindues are the same.
But the kikes alone, seriously, them only, they hate answering questions, they think you're stupid, they mock you and downboot and I get no traction. And I'm asking really specific and technical things, but they're just assholes. Fuck Jews man they're such a nasty people.

I got a clean 100 hundred percent on my test, so obviously im not the problem.

I'm high on weed, something I'm very much not used too. i'm also a born and raised Catholic ith more thn my fair share of experience with very tradcaths. I know in my heart they are fools who make Gods love too shallow. Eternal hell is not justice, unless you admit to some kind of limbo theory where hell can be an alright place. If God did send the bad boys to hell forever and the good boys to heaven forever, I just think that's retarded. Why not just give them another chance?

What is that pesky little feeling in my head that I exist? Why am I not a mute void inside, with a body and brain and clever electricity sophisticated enough to do everything it can to eat and reproduce simply because it was wired that why, like a coiled spring? But I'm actually in here thinking and feeling? How on earth could a materialist ever deny that we have souls, are they retarded.
