/lit/ - Literature

>>13418062
is this OC? Nice.

>>13418062
As soon as I started visiting this place again I've had no motivation to do anything.
Makes you think

>>13418062
Leave?

fuck.....

I've been posting here for 13 years, so I don't think the damage can be undone at this point.

>>13418087
this. it's so easy
you guys wouldn't believe me, since I'm here after all. but damn, not logging on 4chan for days is so piss easy it's laughable

>>13418098
Try 30 years.

literally any paper book that isn't a choose your own adventure or some other nonlinear gimmick.

>>13418086
>>switches between boards like normies do with television channls

>>13418062

You don't need books, you need a job.

>>13418116
For me, it’s /lit/, /sci/, /his/ (just in case there’s something philosophical), /pol/ for news because I don’t have any social media or tv, and when I’ve exhausted all threads and no one has yet responded to my posts, I’ll check /a/, /adv/, /fit/, /tv/, and /x/.

Oh lord. Help me

>>13418062
okay faggot, i'm gonna make a normie version since you obviously think you're so smug about making fun of us.

I don't really see what the problem with using image boards in moderation is. /lit/ has had a positive impact on my life and without it I would likely never have began reading in my spare time, dooming me to a life of vidya and soulless mediocrity. There is nowhere on the internet quite like it. Sure, I hate this place sometimes, but it provides a opportunity for discussion that is very difficult to find. I just wish people would post less bait and less meaningless political/religious debate threads where it is simply name calling and the same arguments.

>>13418146
Dude everyone goes through this thought process. It’s just an excuse. You’ve already been exposed to everything. You don’t need to stay here. You should be reading.

>>13418128
/k/ then /lit/ then /his/ here

>>13418164
You are projecting. There is nothing wrong with discussion.

>>13418062
>Switches between boards just like normies switch between tv channels
That one really struck home.

>>13418146
Imageboards in moderation has fueled ideas for my writing, and /lit has fed new material into my reading.

Habitual imageboard use hampers my writing productivity, however, as with any internet activity. If I check threads before writing, it puts my brain in a different mode.

Shitposting is a sometimes food.

>4chan is a psyop!!!
But really, there is NOTHING to gain from being here for more than a few minutes a week. Lads, you all have your charts, all the books and things you already want to learn, experience and achieve. Get to work.

>>13418215
>There is nothing wrong with discussion.
Sure. But good substantial discussion is few and far between to warrant being on here for more than 20m a day.

>>13418375
I have a dozens of charts and bookmarked websites for philosophy, fiction, and mathematics. Every now and then I’ll start the first book, read 15 pages or so, then quit for weeks. Haha

>>13418121
this. just get off of the internet

>>13418062
just reading any will undo it by virtue of it forcing you to not be on an imageboard

>>13418062
>>13418233
these two pics are huge messes. They need to be re-edited

You are shaped by your experiences, stop experiencing imageboards and it will fade away

>>13419660
no I didn't lol

>>13419652
i can literally feel your anger through my screen. cope

>>13419666
says the incelpanels poster lol cope

>>13418164
100% this.
Whenever I want to leave this shithole I always tell myself
"dude but think about all the books you find here :)" etc
but being here means that I barely fucking read
I start reading a book, but as soon as I look at 4chan I get caught in this cycle of
"check this board, check this thread, check that board, check for replies here, check check check" and waste hours doing that
FUCK this site I am GONE GOODBYE

>>13419667

The one that tells you to cancel your internet service

>>13418078
The main points are incorrect, aside from the first one maybe.
Image board doesn't cause high prolactin.
Nor does it induce hypofrontality
Nor is it a primal drive.
All of these are limited to sexual excesses.

>>13419652
>>13419680
This is a good example of why leftist memes are so terrible. There's nothing funny about it. It's just a picture intended to insult someone by showing a caricature of them. There's no joke at all. It's probably because leftists are humorless moralfags.

>>13418078
>>13420880
More accurate version. Other things are exclusive to cumbrain which usually goes alongside being an imageboard brain.

>>13418062
Read the Russians

>>13418146
>less meaningless political/religious debate threads
That's literally all /lit/ is good for...

(also the only things that matter in life, much more than some loser's interpretation of Infinite Jest)

>>13418062
This was me from 2014 - 2018 and I can corroborate all of that. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, bois. I've curbed it by installing LeechBlock.

>>13418062
>>13418233
thanks, this is what I needed to stop coming here

>>13418078

you have to go back

I like how peiple are just waking up to their personal retardation and blaming 4chan.

>>13422230
Do you have any interests that aren't derived from entertainment media? That is what your tertiary education is for, turning that kind of interest into a career. Believe me, the more you think there is no career in your interests, the more likely the relevant field is short of people with said interests.

>>13418121
But I'm currently posting while on my wagecuck job

>>13419652
Nice image mate.

>>13423879
you have to be a fucking retard

Does anyone here know actually how to fix this problem? Is it as simple as 'going outside' like a normie?

>>13424283
I went from NEET to normie pretty fast and i still love this place.
Being too active gets me tired and annoyed.
After being busy all week I love to unwind by laying on the bed and browsing different boards.
I don't think I'll ever stop coming here.

>>13424069
we'll i hope you'll still reply but im doing a Bcomm in quantitative management (fiance and economics but with more math and stats), i used to be really interested in investing, business and economics and always wanted to be a scientist but i got sucked into my pc and vidya and fucked up my school marks so i couldnt get into a science program. out side of uni im a musician and play gigs every week which i really love, come to think of it i love entertainment and putting on a show for people like music or theater i guess i like art in a way but the only problem is im too scared to do anything with it because its not a sustainable form of income

>>13423879
After you.

>>13418062
>Addicted to consequence-free comunication and the sense of superriority over normies
Very accurate.
Conversing with normies without desire of bashing their skulls in, is very hard these days.
Only fellow shitposters and frens who share my apathy are worth having discussion with.

>>13424554
What about people who were on 4chan years before but started browsing /pol/ because of Trump?

i like coming here because it reminds me i'm better than both you and normies

>>13418121
False, pretty much all normies at my job(s) have had this sort of mindset.

The real answer is to read Society of the Spectacle in the middle of the woods with no wifi/phone

>>13418384
>>13418391

>>13418062
What if someone wrote a book on the image boards?

>>13418110
It doesn't do anything. I left 4chan and the void was filled with Reddit instead.
All social media is killing us.
I keep refreshing news sites when I quit Reddit

>>13424953
Stop going on the computer? Like pick up a book or go to a club

>>13423879
nu/pol/ is utter shit, /pol/ died long ago

>>13424994
That's not how it works. If I don't have a constant stream of information at all times, how will I be content just walking around?

>chuckles every 30 mins

heh

> I am superior enough to do this dangerous thing in moderation without getting hurt.

>>13418121
I live off my family's wealth, loser. I can direct all my time to reading, studying, practicing sports and doing other activities without worrying about making money. How can you beat that?

>>13418396
too real

>>13424506
>quantitative management (fiance and economics but with more math and stats),

Get out now. You got trolled.

>>13425652
say it aint so anon

>>13420886
shut up nigger sayer
right wing memes are only insults nothing else and always have been. They're not funny and never will be

>>13425652
he'll still make more money than us and that says alot about the kind of society WE live IN

>>13425692
you'll get rich don't worry

>>13425627
this says alot about the kind of society we live in. The french revolution didn't happen so people like you could exist

>>13425692
>>13425698

This sounds like a really wattered down degree. Do you know anyone successful who has it?

>>13425818
most successful people have some watered down economics/business degree.

>>13425824
this is true but also doesnt take into account tech billionaires

>>13425818
its essentially a watered down data science/math/stats degree with business applications as the focus

>>13425698
thanks for believing in me anon, i figured that the safest financial security i can get get in my position would be the business of money bc youd never not have a job unless AI becomes human on a 1:1 basis
