>When I was a kid until I was 16, my dad used to cut my nails, shave me, trim my pubes, pop zits on my face and back until I would bleed and weep, smell my penis and armpits after I showered, and sometimes showered with me. He would beat me if I ever denied him. This went on until I was 16 and my mom and I moved to another state. He also signed me up to play baseball, basketball, football and soccer, all of which ended n me humilating myself. He wanted me to be good at sports even though I was an overweight spaz. He made fun of me whenever he saw me playing video games.
>i also enjoy every Star Wara movie except The Last Jedi

Why has there been such a concerted effort these past few years of Eastern Euros trying to shill themselves. All the poles are based, haha russians are so cool and orthodox crap. Don't see it for any other demographic other than maybe Iranians.

I blew it tonight, you guys. I really blew it. If you don't know me, I've been reading the classic novels. I figured it's good to experience the great works of art that have been made before I was born and also, and this is the main reason, I want to be able to recommend books to the girl I love. She enjoys reading. I took some time off from reading for a while after I finished The Stranger. I'm now halfway through Lord of the Flies. I'm not enjoying it as much as the other books I've read so far, it's a little heavy on adjectives for my taste, but it's definitely good enough for me to finish it.

I've been making these threads and people always make fun of me. I understand why. I'm pretty awkward, but I still think I have a chance with her. Well, tonight I screwed up. I botched a conversation worse than I ever have before. I started a conversation with her, that's progress for me. I just thought I'd say a few words to her, then leave. I was feeling confident because I was previously able to bring up my new reading hobby and mention a few books I've read. So I come up to her, say a few things and start to walk away, and then she says something that I didn't hear. I stutter like an idiot for a while pretending I did hear whatever she said. I don't know why I do that. You know how sometimes that works? You don't hear what somebody says but you say "yeah" anyway. Well here it didn't work. She just said "huh", and then I said the stupidest, most autistic thing I've ever said in my life: "I didn't hear what you said. I was just trying to end the conversation." I don't know why I said that, it just came out. I want to kill myself.

Anyway, I saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the first time today. I was really great. It made me think of her, anything romantic does. She inspires me to be a better person, she really does. Anyway, in that movie they mention Alexander Pope. I'm interested in him now. Where do I start with him?

Thank you for reading. I needed to tell this story. I keep replaying it in my head. All I had to do was say "What?".

To every single person in this thread who mentioned some author or another:
These people all lived more of a life than you could ever hope to. Even at a young age.

Wait, should I read Snow Crash or not?

nice dubs

Women have little to no understanding of logical positivism when it comes to debating a topic intellectually. They're so quick to ineptly trip over their own emotions that you wonder if they're actually capable of reasoning at all or if they just peck around like little hens all the time.

And even if you're right in a debate - right without a shadow of a doubt - they will just play their "get out of jail free" victim card and make you seem like a douche no matter how level-headed you tried to be whilst they play the poor hapless target.

Every serious debate that you try to have with them ends up being a bullshit waste of time.

Yes, this is a fedora post.

I used to write sonic the hedgehog fanfic.
