/lit/ - Literature

How do you write non-fiction? How can you squeeze a single idea or concept for like 20 pages? It seems impossible for me to get pass the two or three sentences.

Good morning, anon.

Unfortunately I lost my link to it, but there was a study where they asked women about their sexual partners, then hooked them up to lie detectors and asked the same question. When the women believed they had to tell the truth, their body count, on average, tripled.
Sorry to break the news to you, but if this study applied to every girl, your partner slept with 30 guys. Of course she could be telling the truth or have possible slept with less guys than what she had told you, but 30 guys isn't that high of a number in the modern world, with some guys getting married to turbo-sluts with 100+ body counts.

With love from Kazakhstan.

I play grand strategy games a lot but I suck at them. Never get far into a campaign. I think its because I don't have the patience to do all the micromanaging and a lot of grand strategy games have a lot of waiting and I always feel like I'm falling behind if I'm just waiting in those games. So I end up taking some reckless action when I'm ill-prepared for it. Sometimes I stop playing if I somehow get too strong as well, since I get paralyzed with the amount of options I have when it comes to steamrolling people. Really, I think the idea of grand strategy games appeal to me more than actually playing them - being able to build a large empire sounds great and I love history but I don't have the focus, decision-making skills, and patience to do all that. I should just stick to role-playing games where my lack of patience and focus doesn't apply and making a terrible decision isn't game-ruining.

I can tell you on good authority that cis women have fled this website in droves over the years, I would bet the numbers have dropped like 80% since 2015 because of how politicized everything has become and how normalized misogyny has become, the latter being the bigger cause. Women can't handle the banter, literally. They get upset and leave. The only ones who remain are hardcore lurkers who never admit their gender, which is fine by me.

It used to be so much worse, there was always some dumb broad or three lurking, waiting to share their total surface level normalfaggot opinions in a condescending "Ummm did you ever think of {banal platitude}??? Like yikes much???" tone. All these bitches left due to the sustained hostility finally overpowering their e-girl "I'm different from the other girls teehee" desire to fit in on 4chan. The only ones left now keep their mouths shut about it, way better than they used to.

A toast to the honorary male female lurkers who never mention their gender or post gay milquetoast normie platitudes whenever something controversial or off color is being talked about.

Not exaggerating, being completely and totally genuine when i say i hope her parents get raped and killed by a pack of niggers. For her own good. Then she won't grow up to be a self loathing sad sap, and her parents clearly deserve it regardless.

I see what you did there and, you being an imbecile aside, it's actually pretty funny.

Marxism covers like 90% of leftist ideologies and is strictly materialistic. It's not that the right wing is inherently spiritual, its that the left wing is inherently materialistic. If anything i think the amount of spirituality in right wing ideology is completely normal and proportionate with the fact that its controlled by human beings (a naturally spiritualistic animal). Yes you could say that the right wing is "more spiritual" but i would argue it is simply more human.

100% subjective
Orwell is a visionary to some, trash to others.
the brothers karamazov is genius to some, boring as all shit to others.
Clifford runs for office is childish to some, a mandatory must read masterwork of contemporary literature to others.
Write whatever you want. As long as its distributed to enough people, there will be at least one person who loves it and one person who despises it.
