Your second and third sentences aren't sentences. I know rules are for squares and all, but it looks like they could be formatted into the previous line easily. Before even getting through the whole second line I was already thinking "damn, if only the first line had just had a colon at the end or something." I'm not suggesting that change in specific though.

>The time is 23:35 and P. Pritchard sits shotgun in Bob Monday’s station wagon
I dislike how Bob Monday is smuggled in here. It isn't actually confirmed that he's in the driver's seat right now, but I'm just expected to make that jump. On it's own, I think the line would be better if you instead said "station wagon of Bob Monday," to make it clear you're moving on to Bob instead of just sneaking him in, but the problem is that in the context of the paragraph it might be better to end on the Wagon since your next move is to talk about the peopleoutside the wagon (which is, of course "with respect to the wagon"). Either pick your poison or make a larger change here. I also don't think mentioning Bob at the start of the excerpt is doing you much good either right now; "Bob Monday" still feels like the first time I'm really seeing him, and again, it's shaky. I don't think you can treat him as someone who's already been introduced unless that just has to do with how this is an excerpt.

There's also something unbelievable about him driving at breakneck speed. We were just show a bunch of people on the sidewalks, yet there aren't a bunch of cars? From my experience it's usually both or neither.

You're also flipping back and forth from person to person rather quickly without giving me much to hold on to. Besides names, the only trademark I really got on anyone was the green bob the girl had, but I'd already thrown in a filler image of Elaine Benes from Seinfeld and now I'm feeling liek I have to replace her with that chick from Scott Pilgrim. Your buddy in the passenger seat is Costanza, Bob is some halfway between Camus and Kramer, and your bassist boys -- whose names I've already forgotten -- are the Weasely twins from (the) Harry Potter (movies). You're giving me a lot of blanks, but instead of doing it on purpose to try and draw from the reader's experience, it really seems more like you're just skipping past things you don't want to talk about. Is it a fear of pedantry or something? tfw dfw?

>and how he barely even knows the people around him
For fucks sake, why'd you even name anyone besides Bob and Pritchard? Is this just focusing on him now? It didn't seem like he was paying attention to anything but what he was doing. What's the purpose of your narrator?

Someone did say they liked it in a prior thread. That too could potentially be samefagging, but he isn't making it up on the spot at least.

>constitution nor have movements like confederate idiots or the whole racial mess since European societies developed in a more organic way. Also lack of mccarthyism, bibles and calvinism.
>I'm a European but I don't actually like Europeans so I going to import millions of Africans into Europe under the utopian pretense that radical egalitarianism is true a priori therefore the only difference between us and black people is skin color!
>Our culture will stay the same completely :DDD

Someone should hang you from a lamp post. Luckily in 10-15 years , muslims will do it for me!

Also, you don't know the first thing about the Confederacy beyond small IQ bourgie memes about it , where you see someone who is fat wearing a t-shirt with the flag on it and use ad hominem to discredit anyone who thinks the Confederacy was on the right.

In three sentences, describe the life of a character in a book you have read. Others will try to guess the character and book.

1. For you to know that a clock works, you must match it with another clock. For you to know that that clock works, you must too match it with another one.

2. If I were to match a clock with a universally accepted one. With what will I compare the universally accepted clock?

3. I may compare it to some axiomatic framework and understanding as to the operation of clocks but they can be no more certain. Any thought or interpretation can be derived from an axiom but they can be no more certain than it is itself.

4. If I were to say that such and such an operation or movement of atoms or photons in something I determine as 'temporal' is the standard by which I define a second. Then how am I sure of the measuring tool of atoms or photons that I have used? And doesn't this lead to the same problem as before?

5. If I am to be handed a clock, am I not always under the assumption that it 'works'? And what would a working clock look like exactly? Doesn't it work already within my daily life?

6. It is not that we should act at all turns as though this is the case. No, what we must do is simply realise the groundlessness of our beliefs.

7. Mustn't I say at all turns, "I believe this to be the case..."

>His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels are often reprinted.
