Guys I know I'll get hate for this meta topic but I need to vent. I've been a litizen for two years. In the past day I've made some genuine top notch topics but I don't get enough good responses. Are most of you becoming complacent? You just keep talking about the same bullshit All below topics were made by me.

Which languages should I learn in order to fully live and comprehend the Bohemian lifestyle? I started learning Spanish and I don't want to stop because of my progress. But I only started learning it because it was the easiest language.

I know Spanish speakers are lazy and sleep all day, which suggests the bohemian lifestyle, but there is something indescribably pleb about them, even if /lit/ has reassured me in the past that they have a lot of patrician literature.

I'm going to eventually try to learn French and German anyway (giving myself a long timespan obviously, I don't mean starting next week), but am I wasting my time with Spanish?

What else is required studying in order to be a well rounded patrician? Obviously latin and ancient greek, but I'd never have the motivation to learn those. Hopefully the insouciance that comes with the bohemian lifestyle can justify me lack of interest in them.

I'm also learning programming. My current engineering major is gauche as fuck. Programming is vaguely hipsterish and can better imply that I have creativity and trendiness.

Sadly I don't have any massive inheritances coming my way. How do you plan to support your lack of activity? I don't even like engineering, but do you think going in to an engineering PhD rather than a job would imply some sort of free spiritedness about myself?
