>know that girls will go out of their way to talk to you more often if they like you
>no one talks to me

I have an exam in an hour /lit/. Wish me luck! After this I'll be done with my masters. Oh god, it feels so weird.

>Guénon
"In the summer of 1939 I went to visit my friend in Cairo and when I was there the war broke out. I had a lectureship in Lithuania at that time and, being unable to return there, I was forced to stay in Egypt. My friend, who had become like a member of Guénon's household, collecting his mail from poste restante and doing many other things for him, took me to see Guénon. A year later I was out riding in the desert with my friend when his horse ran away with him and he was killed as the result of an accident. I shall never forget having to go to tell Guénon of his death. When I did he just wept for an hour. I had no option but to take my friend's place. I had already been given the freedom of the household and very quickly I became like one of the family. It was a tremendous privilege of course. Guénon's wife could not read and she spoke only Arabic. I quickly learned Arabic so I was able to talk to her. It was a very happy marriage. They had been married for seven years without children and Guénon, who was getting fairly old -- he was much older than she was -- had had no children with his first wife, so it was unexpected when they began to have children. They had four children altogether. I went to see Guénon nearly every day. I was the first person to read The Reign of Quantity, the only book he wrote while I knew him since the other books had all been written earlier. He gave it to me chapter by chapter. And I was able also to give him my own first book when I wrote it, which I gave him also chapter by chapter. It was a very great privilege to have known such a person."

>Caught in the mighty coils of the giant-serpent Sex, "humanity is on the point of being crushed and strangled." That serpent, which in the beginning was intended to serve human evolution, was foolishly adopted as a pet and unduly coaxed and fondled. Being overfed and pampered and having its slightest whims complied with, the pet has grown into a monster that has overpowered its master, and now threatens to destroy him.
Fuck.

sex toys.
Now, you'll probably scoff at how minor that is, but trust me, in my family I could assert myself as the overlord of morality just with that one peace of information.
All it would take is this during an argument:
>yeah really, I'm going to listen to some fucking morons with a collection of fucking sex toys
Said with extreme anger and spite, plus a few personal insults as well as explicitly stating how much better I am than them, and none of them would ever question a single thing I say or do again.
I have no reason to stage such an aggressive coup at the moment though, I'm saving it for when it'll be useful, like if my sister gets older and my parents become lenient on degeneracy
