I don't get 4chan's LGBT hysteria, I guess its just autists being more likely to be conservatives due to hatred of change.

I read ~50 pages in a day but after I finish I can't decide on a new book to read for a few days.

Why did pepe become so popular? What did it tap into?

Do I get govt. mandated gfs (plural)?

I have purchased 4 books in the past week despite already having a pile of books I have yet to finish.

If you're reading for the first time and kjv in particular yeah it might not be a bad idea. Some of the language can be tough especially if you aren't used to it and notes can help clarify as well as connect stuff from NT to old such as cultural norms, laws, etc. And maps are extremely helpful when verses will mention places like Edom, children of ammon, etc. so you'll actually know where these people that are mentioned are

You need to keep in mind though, all study bibles have issues. The people generating notes will make mistakes, insert their beliefs which you may not agree with, leave stuff out by mistake, etc. which is why it's important to pay attention and not assume everything is correct. Pray when reading the Bible and seek the Holy Spirit's guidance.

Also be sure to do research on who makes the study bible you use. It will inform you on what you'll be reading if you use it
Recently I've been using a Holman (Southern Baptist Conventions Publishing arm) Christian Study Bible KJV. Notes in it aren't exclusively by Southern Baptists but they certainly have their angle in it. That works for me cause I'm Baptist but that may not be what you want.

As another example the macarthur bible >>20153174 this anon mentioned was done by a Reformed calvanist pastor who follows beliefs mentioned earlier in this thread (IE: tulip). If you agree with that or want to learn more about it that might be a way to go. If you disagree with it, then it might not be the way to go.

There's also the Scofield bible, written by someone who believed and tried to spread the idea of dispensationalism (idea that time is divided up into different administrations by God, and that Israel and the Church are separate things)

If you're interested in orthodoxy there is an orthodox study bible that gets mentioned here regularly

There also is of course non denominational and secular study Bibles like the Oxford Annotated Bible.

Or if you decide you don't like what's available there is E-Sword, a program that allows you to select your Bible translation and commentaries to go with it like Matthew Henry's. I've never used E sword but those that I know that have love it.

Anyway, yeah study bibles are helpful but as with all things they have problems. Be sure you pray about what Bible to get as well as before reading, and do research to be sure you know what you're getting into and be watchful when reading. Hope this helps anon.

Why do nationalists glorify Otoya Yamaguchi for murdering Inejiro Asanuma?
I get that some people just like to make glib jokes about leftist politician getting killed because they like to jack off while fantasizing about hurting people they disagree with, but do they not realize that Otoya dealt a terrible blow to the cause of Japanese nationalism by doing what he did? Asanuma was one of the few prominent politicians in the 1950's who was advocating for total autonomy from America and the removal of all US military bases, as well as the formation of a pan-Asian bloc to defend against foreign imperialist meddling. Otoya was (unwittingly or otherwise) doing the bidding of the US state department by icing this politician who was threatening American hegemony. I don't think that nationalists would be making these stupid wisecracks if they knew that Oyoto was actually a cucked idiot who undermined Japan's national interests and further enshrined the LDP's (and by extension, America's) domination of the country.

I still don't know if people are being sincere with their praising Bakker or it's just a meme gone too far.
