I'm incapable of watching non-consent porn unless it's the goofy looking directly in the camera and winking kind where the girl ends up liking it almost immediately so it's "okay." I don't understand why anyone would watch realistic rape pornography.

For reading classics of literature (anything from Greeks all the way up to 20th century classics) what publisher offfers the best? Penguin Classics? Barnes and Noble Classics? Oxford World Classics? Another option?
Things to consider:
>quality of translations
>quality of text/way text is laid out
>footnotes or endnotes and their quality
>aesthetics of the series’ cover
>aesthetics of the pictures generally chosen to be the front page
Feel free to discuss, I’ve owned many of each of the above and have found strengths and weaknesses in each.

So maybe you would explain how those book relate to the original bloomer meme and his description?

After 4 years of grueling depression, my life has improved substantially and I'm actually looking forward to the future. This was all possible because I realized certain things:
- having a caring and loving family is important and they have supported me immensely
- watching the news will make you miserable and angry, on top of trying to indoctrinate you
- you don't need a gf or wife to be happy, society has convinced you since that without one you aren't completely/cannot be happy, which is bullshit
- dwelling on the suffering of the past is necessary, up to a point. It's unhealthy to keep thinking about things that happened long ago so obsessively
- there is no shame in being a virgin
Things are looking up guys.
