it's depressing

Not even in this conversation but if you honestly think Bitcoin will ever surpass fiat currency in terms of actual usefulness then you're a retard.

>mfw Christians in general, except for the Quakers

>ditsy girl tells me she wants to major in Japanese Studies and she plans on being a writer
>ask her out Japanese Studies will help her write
>she gives no explanation other than "I believe I can do anything!"
>tell her that she must gather a comprehensive skill set for writing and critiquing literary works if she wants to be a successful writer
>"Don't tell me what to do! I'm a great writer."
>check out her blog
>she doesn't even understand what a paragraph is
>her posts have no structure, they're just expository discussions on local bar culture
>tell her this
>"You don't know me!"
>she honestly thinks that she'll be able to write for a German, English, Japanese, and Korean audience at any point in time and that she has "plans" for backup plans
>I've never seen her study... all she does is go out
>mfw

What do I do? I honestly want her to become a good writer, but her mindset and study ethic is absolute garbage. She honestly thinks she's a good writer and I can't comprehend how she thinks this.

What am I saying? This entire existence is just a ruse from the ultimate trickster

Why do people get buttmad when you tell them that their favorite novel/short-story/author isn't that amazing? Can they not realize that you can enjoy something and know that it isn't that good? I read and enjoy stupid shit too, but I don't get mad when someone tells me that it's crap. I acknowledge it and enjoy it anyways.

Fuck you, there are things that we are certain of. If you truly doubted that world existed, then your actions would reflect this. This is all just a language game. Eat a dick.

Is there such a place where people go online and read a play aloud together? People take different roles, etc. and just come together and do an impromptu Richard III or something on tinychat?

4chan language thread.

here we can discuss the idioms of the site.

personally, i find it unbelievably childish when people retort with this "HURR DURR" nonsense..

also, i think that

>implying

has caused me to think of "greentext" whenever i read "imply/implying/implication" in any literature.

what have you guys got?
