It happens every summer.

You vacillate between them all for years, never satisfied and never making progress on anything. Help.

Sure, buddy, whatever...

>>see lots of East Asian kids in suits- probably future Chinese prefect leaders or high level Singaporean government employees
Ah, yes. Excess wealth, fancy suits, and conference calls. The true goal^TM of life. 10_things_billionaires_do_every_morning_THAT_YOU_SHOULD_TOO.mp4

I sometimes imagine that I'll spot someone from my city in one of these threads, and that we'll get talking and eventually develop a real friendship over our shared interests. The few friends I have couldn't care less for the things I actually care about.

Every time

How you holding up /lit/?

And so the mods (hopefully) don't delete this one, what book are you currently reading?

/lit/ has done a good job at making me use it less by becoming an absolute shithole filled with /tv/ and /r9k/ tier posts. Basically there is only 2-3 threads out of 150 that interest me on any given day, so it isn't difficult to read instead. Any book is infinitely more interesting. It may just be that you don't like reading, OP. Don't force yourself.

Where do I find girls who aren't sluts? I'm /fit/, I have a career, a good social life, skilled hobbies, but I have no idea where to find a decent girl outside of college. The only girls I meet on a day-to-day basis are quasi-feminist workaholics at my office job or sluts at bars on the weekends. I feel like I messed up by being too much of a pussy when I was younger to nail down a wholesome girl at the ground level in high school.

When did you realise that reading, on its own, has no intellectual worth and only active engagement through the combination of reading, writing critically, and conversation (or any quick feedback) (learning from mentors, discussing with peers, teaching to others) can lead to a worthwhile humanities education?

Me, after I read many history books and forgot almost everything except a vague outline.

What book(s) should I read to understand articles of financial times?

Absolutely. My girlfriend is Korean Pentecostal, and I've been trying to convince her (to no avail) that the rapture is basically a translation error. All it takes is one verse that is misinterpreted and bang: crazy doctrine of religious magic.
