>You don't have to, sir. Judging by your formidable presence and physicality you've likely already conceived of the entire corpus of Western philosophy in your mind by means of pure self-reflection and concluded - correctly, I believe - that Plato was right from the start. Have a good day, sir!

I do believe in free will, dualism and practice stoic askesis in order to attain my transcendental goals. You weak vermin

Okay so I'm pretty well read and I've been composing a manuscript for a while now and just yesterday i went to read McCarthy's Vanity Fair interview and there's a quip about semicolons so I dug a little deeper and found this.

"Americans have long regarded the semi-colon with suspicion, as a genteel, self-conscious, neither-one-thing-nor-the other sort of punctuation mark, with neither the butchness of a full colon nor the flighty promiscuity of the comma. Hemingway, Chandler and Stephen King wouldn’t be seen dead in a ditch with a semi-colon (though Truman Capote might). Real men, goes the unwritten rule of American punctuation, don’t use semi-colons."[16] In his book titled A Man Without a Country, Kurt Vonnegut writes: "Semicolons are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college."

Right on the fucking wikipedia article for semicolon. I knew that the great American writers tended to eschew punctuation in general but I had no idea that semicolons were so sacrilegious. I also thought they were kino but now I have to go and replace all of those those virgin semicolons with chad conjunctions.

Nah, I'm just going to regard your post as a metaphor for the massive cock of >>15940510 .

Jordan Peterson is a father figure for ugly beta cucks.

I was raised by a single mother, and loved Nietzsche. Today I realise he's always been a father figure to me.

Nietzsche is far stronger a father figure than Lobster Kermit.

for me it's Nook+b-ok.org
