What's the word for a substitute activity which is done instead of one's main purpose?

For example, a woman pursues a career as an office worker instead of having children; this is a ______

He's the most popular author among the most attractive women. You got played /lit/.
(I'm having a mediocre Saturday as you can imagine)

I think john green would be better if his dialogue wouldn't be so damn snappy, I think he's good at creating interesting likable characters but they talk like they're in an avenger movie

Just out of curiosity I looked up her YouTube channel, and she has a video with her favorite books. The first one she brings up is written by John Green.

Is this really the level you guys go to? I can’t imagine she’s worth watching if she’s like this.

Hey everyone I am new to /lit/, just discovered it today. I think I've found my home, can one of you give me the rundown on what's up with John Green? I've always enjoyed his YouTube videos but every time I try and criticize him as a writer I'm BTFO. Can someone help me explain more consistently the flaws in his writing style.

Hopefully this doesn't kick the hornet's nest.

>"Relatedly, I am reminded how there exist certain cultural “works,” such as John Greene’s The Fault in Our Stars, that I would describe as “emotional gore,” since their use of an inherently dramatic device (cancer, for instance) is so exhaustive of the material’s natural capacity to inspire discomfort and sadness that it shares more with Tarantino’s unique brand of ultra-violent tragicomedy than it does any of the more robust and traditional “dramas” it aspires to emulate. And, like Tarantino’s work, one can only respond appropriately to the absurdity of both not with tears, but laughter. “Trauma” here hollows itself of substance, subsuming the narrative to a pre-given emotional apparatus rather than subsuming any emotional “force” to the narrative—the “story” becomes merely a matter of manipulating emotional shocks, removed from any and all “messiness” of lived experience, abstracted and made the autonomous playthings of your average Sophist. Here is the great difference between the originality of a true artist and the gimmicks of a quack, a trickster or illusionist. Greene’s works, as all overtly sentimental works of similar nature, are utterly cloying, low-hanging and over-ripe fruit—saccharine Pharisees of the soul."

Is he right, bros? Are there tropes that automatically make you a pseud?

>Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick..... that’s when I’m satisfied.
What did he mean by this?
