Being in flow state while writing is equivalent to most sex in terms of pleasure and intensity. Being in flow state while having sex is still more pleasurable and intense though.

I once got a hand-J to completion from a well-known fashion designer's daughter in the back of a car while discussing naval policy with a congressman sitting in the passenger seat up front.

I once defended a herd of goats from a pitbull while blazed out of my mind with a hot dog in one hand and made a lame pun about the hotdog afterwards.

I've been to a party at a Harvard graduate school where a large cardboard house was dropped from the ceiling at midnight and a Tokyo real estate magnates daughter learned how to shotgun a beer for the first time while standing on a desk.

>Why did DFW leave us
Pynchon and Bloom killed him.

I'd want to kill a man who raped my wife or child. Raping someone doesn't just disrespect that person, but it damages their family life, present and future.

It's not like you can rape someone by accident or in self-defense. It's a pretty wanton act.

>All non-Christians are hedonists by default
Christians all claim their faith makes them feel good, so that's on the same level as even the most ascetic secular practices.

>be ur own god
If you do away with the need for something comparable to a god in power then you can absolutely set your own priorities, expectations and goals.

>Christianity is the only valid doctrine
Excellent argument. Really set me up for that checkmate.

I hope you don't think this is a defence of the truth of any religion.

That's how every self-reported study goes. Intlets just don't often post in these threads, and if they do they attach a frog picture to warn the rest of us.

Intlet needs to be more of a thing, like manlets on /fit/ and dicklets on /r9k/.

Women are so repelled by undesirable men that reading about Ignatius to them is like you watching a very clear, clinical video of a man being castrated slowly with a razorblade. Makes sense when you consider what the stakes are if other people associate them with pathetic men or heaven forbid they get pregnant by such a man, but it does seem very limiting.

Some women get pretty flustered when any successful man doesn't show interest in finding a woman. It invalidates their whole lifestyle.

>labor unions lost their power
>working as a woman became more acceptable because firms wanted more control over their workers
Unless these statements of fact are meant to be sarcastic or something, I think you're just agreeing with me and then taking the high-effort route to calling me a neckbeard for some reason. The second wave of feminism was all about making it more acceptable for women to work in all fields so I don't see how they're not part of the permanent shift that the point in history you highlighted occasioned.

>all that stuff about employers gaining more power
Yes, weakening of unions had some to do with this, and the entrance of women into the workforce helped by increasing the labor supply. As women became more educated the effect rose up the economic ladder. Still not sure if this is supposed to be a counterargument or an angry concession.

>neo-classical theory which drives people to work and consume
Correct, people aren't willing to give an inch when it comes to their high-consumption lifestyles, and for some women and couples this is all the motivation it takes to be adamant about keeping their women in the workforce. Again, you're just listing contributing factors that don't even begin to negate what I said.

Basically this. You'll get called edgy if you don't sufficiently account for deviant personal feelings when voicing your opinion on policy. Women and those who have learned that weakness can be empowering will jump on that immediately.

Ask him if he feels bad about riding DFW's nuts while he was alive and then shit-talking him post-mortem.

"Can I habe da pusi boss?"

"What the fuck did you just fucking say abot me you little bitch etc." (followed by physically assaulting him)

Not as dank as my venison tenderloin medallions cooked rare in green peppercorn butter.

I got high with a girl once and cooked those and I'm pretty sure she had a loud orgasm when she put the first bite in her mouth.

The story of Filthy Frank's life is a shit show of taking irony too far and getting hurt by it.

Dude makes this bizarre, highly ironic show, which becomes highly popular (started the Harlem Shake thing actually) and is like 100% memes after a year or so, but the irony ACTUALLY GOT TO THE ARTIST and he revealed his natural voice and mannerisms in a video where he also confessed that he had to slow down output because of the meds he was taking for epilepsy. At the same time as the reveal video, he began making sincere vlog entries and releasing some really pretty trance music he'd been making at the same time he was working on the show.

Most fans responded with memes from the show instead of sincere appreciation for his struggle and music, spamming the comment sections of his vlogs and music videos with variants on, "I have cancer, boss," a tagline of one of the show's characters. This so upset the guy behind the show that he took down all the vlogs and music, and will still request that reuploads of his reveal video be taken down from youtube.

If you want to hate irony, this is the story for you.

>welcome to the rice fields, mothafucka
I bet the people in that pretty village are punishingly provincial and would accuse you of causing a miscarriage or something if you tried to move there.

Thanks mang, these Christposters were really shitting up the place.

It's all good so long as you don't deny our dark lord Chin-Chin. You'll be taking part in the sacrifices this year, of course.

top kek, all it does is run down data and then offer an explanation for said data that differs from the mainstream one.

If you want to see reaching, try Stephen J. Gould's supposed refutation of The Bell Curve, entitled The Mismeasure of Man. That book focuses almost exclusively on knocking down fucking phrenologists and the contemporaries of phrenologists and then acting like that means the liberal explanation of African American educational outcomes must be the only one.

Since my Japanese girlfriend dumped me I'm legit afraid she'll meet Filthy Frank and end up with him because he's talented, handsome, and speaks Japanese, which was always an issue with her.
