3. False, I am fluent in about 2 languages and am fairly knowledgeable in a couple more.
4. False, there has been stuff written about anything.
5. True.
6. False, they have only lowered the standards in everything that they have dabbled in.

Hello r*ddit

>you will never become fluent in another language so just read the translation
I'm fluent in english although it's not my native language.
What now?

>>17537949
>literature will not get you laid
It might some day, you don't know

>literature will not help you with mental illness or any of your personal problems
True, it won't magically cure any mental illness, but it can certainly help with personal problems. Multiple times, literature has helped me look more positively, or contributed to my feeling happier.

>you will never become fluent in another language, so just read the translation
Ce n'est pas vrai. Je ne parle pas couramment le français. Cependant, je peux lire en français.

>there is no literature about the random off-topic you want to make a thread about
They don't make those threads because they actually want books about it, they start them to start discussions (more often than not, arguments).

>starting with the Greeks is a bad idea for brainlets who have only experienced vidya and anime for the last ten or so years of their lives, it is better for these people to start with the 20th century and work their way backwards in time.
We all know this, none of us sincerely say 'start with the greeks.' You must be a newfag. Though we also wouldn't advise going precisely backwards in time because that's equally retarded.

>women and people of color have made valuable contributions throughout the ages
I agree.

What the fuck are "people of color"? Define people of color. Being born outside Europe != Le'Genius and Da-Queefa.

So you can only be up to 12.5% negro to be able to write a book? Interesting.

ok, it's debatable with Ayn Rand, but you can't deny the massive amount of influence Agatha Christie had on the mystery genre

It got me laid at least 30 times. More specifically, it got me into a relationship, which lead to me getting laid at least 30 times.

Are we talking, like, you fuck 3 times during a night but count that as a single lay? Because otherwise I don't understand those numbers. Was it a long-distance relationship?

If we really want to split hairs here, blacks are not POC because black is the absence of color, meaning everyone else are POC, and whites would technically be the most POC as white is the amalgamation of all colors.

Sure but in the US traditionally 1/8th black is considered black. Also, it's amusing that Pushkin's black ancestor is himself pretty badass (rose from slave to general) yet people never talk about him outside of the

We saw each other less than once a week on average, so it might as well have been long distance. The number 30 is not exact, might very well have been 50, but I didn't count, so I went for a conservative number. And yes I counted every night (even every week end) as a single time. Wasn't the fuckiest relationship but it was extremely interesting.

Nobody denies women can churn out genre fiction, look at Harry Potter. That's still not a valuable contribution.

Debatable, a mixed approach is better.

Yes, so?
