hope eating s°ybean sprouts won't affect me. there's also a little tofu in this dish, but i only eat tofu once in a couple of months

what's it with women buying food and pretending they cooked it? never ever seen a man do it.
or adding shit like bouillone cubes to soup and claiming it's "traditional recipe".
there's nothing shameful about storebought food, but this game of pretending is retarded

just read venus in furs. the writing is okay but the dialogs are repetetive, and it's suspiciously similar to masturbatory posts anons write about girls of their dreams.
also, the main characters admits he has a cuck fetish, then cries when he gets cucked. realistic depiction of such men 5/10

Sade is crude and unsofisticated in his crudeness, yet really, really original and determined. personally not a fan of 18th century french porn prose, but i'll be damned if his characters aren't horrendous in a good way. 8/10 for significant historical and cultural impact

any theme will go

this post feels so empty i think her Alexa wrote it using fragments of collected data and prediction algorithms. now Amazon Prime users can have internet points automaticly Smart™ harvested using their real life info!

not much. evil for the sake of evil doesn't appeal to me, and necessary evils are all too petty.
