/lit/ - Literature

I had to explain to her how much influence this book and it's adaptation had on our culture and what the term Bishonen means and that Bjorn Andersen was used as an archetype in many forms of medias and all that. She said that it's all fine and asked me if i'm gay and that it's okay to be one. I told her that it's basically Lolita, which she has read, but in more serious tone, but idk if she got my message and my own perception for her isn't totally ruined now fuck fuckfuck

It's literally run by someone from my uni

Yesterday I went to a big library and spent 2 hours looking for stuff but literally nothing interested me anymore so I left empty handed.

Cool niche subreddit I found a week ago just tweeted out by an account with 46K followers

It's over if you don't have community where you meet same women on daily basis and you are not total chad. Women do not care about males look so much so if you are not total chad you will never get laid with stranger woman in some bar activity, ons are not for you. Most of males hence get sex from women they knew for many years, met in school or work and they finally somehow convinced to fuck after spending lot of time with them and whatever. It's over for me cause I am 27 yo remote fulltime carrercel who never meets new women and never leaving my house. If I I leave it for occasional club, cinema, concert whatever, I am still too average looking to convince stranger woman for sex. It's over for me

Bait thread and only 10% of posts will mention a book. It’s over

The real retroactive refutation is to leave this place once and for all, and to preemptively sever the root of any potential would-be argument, destroying in the process any sort of "commitment," which comes from investing yourself into lengthy pseudo-academical/posturing discussions here, for the last two years or so usually everyday I have religously and almost ritually, scraped the active threads in the catalog daily, here for some subject of interest, usually guénon threads, evola threads (subjects I have grown tired of) and these types of board fads. For all that I have "learnt" from this place, over the years, I wish I could fully erase its influence from my mind, not that I feel under an influence, or subject to an some impulse outside of my control, nothing will give me back those 100s or 1000s of hours browsing and contributing to threads on this board, nowadays I am only driven by a sort of despair and addiction, but I know in the end it wont last at all, lately every single thread made is complete trash, I cant even derive any enjoyment from observing the decline of this board. I no longer derive the slightest satisfaction from engaging in "debate" or discussion here, on hyperspecific areas of interest, like certain aspects of vedantic metaphysics, neoplatonism, history, what evola really meant about X, ancient philosophy, why Y or Z is a sophism, or why position O is untennable, why A and L are interesting authors, its all so tiresome. All the coomer baitpost, the gossip about celebrity authors, r9k posting about being an incel, never having a GF, or about being a Chad and so on, even excluding the satisfaction, no insight is developing at all, there is no gradual increase anymore in the result of any type of intellectual investigation. This board is a total waste of time. Discussing literature provides no benefit at a certain point, whereas just reading along does, this board is an extension of facebook, the rampant mentality of criticism and pedantry is such a bore, its finally time to move past this neverending circular schizophrenia.

ITS OVER

>How many movies did you watch this year?
70
>How many games did you play this year?

>How many classes did you pass this year?
None but hopefully will do next year as I am going to med school (as a 28 yo nonetheless lmao)

I have watched about 1500 movies up until now and feel that I am knowledgeable enough about cinema...hence why I want to get back into reading

>will never be a good writer because I always get the meanings of "supine" and "prostrate" mixed up in my head

>tfw you're so deprived of dopamine you degenerate to reading YA fantasy written by women for women

So I see threads can no longer last a night before they drop from the catalog
