>>22018936
For masturbation purposes? Anything with tits and a pulse.
For any other purpose?:None I am not a fucking subhuman nigger faggot animal that should be put down kek.

I literally cannot stop myself from thinking of how I would kill people in my head when I meet them. It’s never a conscious thing I engage in and often when it is a nice person I feel quite ashamed but I have had these intrusive thoughts for some time now. I believe I may actually be going partially schizophrenic because unlike other intrusive thoughts I literally cannot stop this one no matter how hard I try. For instance, I would put this woman in a pressure cooker on a solid 150 F with carrots and brine so that she could live for a little longer than 3-4 days while she boils. It disgusts me to say it, moreso to think it against my will, alas, there is nothing I can do. Recently I have had a bad eye twitch during high-stress times at my work. I think that this compounded with my general RBF has given my coworkers the impression that I am losing it, and I really might be.

I watch attractive young women booktubers, because I will usually disagree with their facile analyses, but it makes me rock-hard imagining she makes me lick her asshole while delivering exegesis that is clearly of inferior quality to mine. It is extremely hot that no matter how dumb a woman is, she can enslave me just by having a musky butthole and telling me to lick it. Literally all it takes.

It is a tale as old as time. In the medieval period is was written down as the cautionary tale of Phyllis and Aristotle, and I'm Aristotle, and I want to nuzzle, smell and lick Phyllis' butthole.

What anime?

>>22018936
Why watch booktubers when you could just read books?

I'm not suscribed to any, but I do get a couple regularly recomended by youtube that I might watch. I enjoy when they break down some YA trash, limit the plot to the basic skelleton and then try to imagine the though process for the parts they used to fill it. But it's barely above background noise, it could be a movie review or documentary about a long dead corporation.

What would a sincerely good booktuber do for you?
Imagine that you can redefine booktuber to whatever you want, your ideal trail blazer that dozens would copycat until you don't like it anymore.

Bernard-jou Iwau (As Miss Bernard said)
The main issue it had for me was that the jokes were a bit too easy, the kind of stuff you'd consider mildly funny in a post. But I really enjoyed how universal the relationship with literature can be, it's a moe anime about the worst pseud torturing three types of readers (I think there was someone who just liked cool fantasy, someone liked deep introspective narrative fiction and the third was all about academic expectations). And 90% of the jokes would be perfectly suited for an american or european reader. It made me want to see what 2ch's equivalent of /lit/ was like.

I have watched some but I do not anymore. I found they have one or more of the following aspects that make it hard to watch them:
>they don't actually read books
>they read bad books
>they have either very general takes on books that anyone could have googled
>they have bad takes on books
>they only read recently published garbage
>they make videos in youtube
>they have a camera
>they showcase their cringe bookcase
>every youtuber looks and feels the same and they all read the same books

You will get so much more from just reading the whatever introduction the classics usually have in good editions of them.

He's been doing it for years. He's an image-obsessed pseud who cares more about being seen than being heard. Which is why so little thought goes into his videos. He's very open about how he got into YouTube because he wanted to be "the Anthony Fantano of book reviews." A shameless clout chaser.

Do I date a 105 IQ tradcath who wants to have lots of kids or do I go get a Master's of english in a top program and meet someone more compatible?

>>22033604
>105 IQ tradcath who wants to have lots of kids
this one. "someone more compatible" you meet in a top program of english will leave you miserable

>>22033649
I agree. But I'm apprehensive about possibly having kids who turn out dumber than me, since my IQ is 130 (tested in public school)

>>22021626
Vids or it didn't happen.

>>22033604
normalfag

>>22033667
IQ is an arbitrary score. If you let your kids watch youtube and tiktok from the getgo it doesn't matter if they could've had a 140 iq genetically, they'll be fucked. Raise them right and they can be intelligent. IQ is genetic but it's not the average of your two parents; I have a higher score than both of mine

>>22033696
It's somewhat arbitrary but unless I deprive them of breast milk and feed them lunchables everyday, they should come close to their genetic potential if their mother was as smart as me. Whereas, if I do everything right with someone significantly less intelligent than me, they can only go so far.

>>22033737
What he said is true, it's not necessarily an average although statistically it may work out that way over enough people

>>22033753
I won't concede that if you want your kids to be smarter than you, having kids with someone dumber than you is a good idea. But I will concede that a stable religious family life will functionally make your children go through life more intelligently than a higher IQ child of divorce.

>>22033760
What's the difference between those two ideas? I also agree in general having kids with someone with a higher IQ will result in those kids having a higher IQ, yes; but a "good idea" includes other considerations, as you say.

>>22033779
not him, but essentially two high iq people having kids might give a higher potential for iq but if they lack the means to fulfill that potential it's useless, whereas an average iq person with a high iq person can result in a higher iq person if they have the right means to raise it, ultimately resulting in a higher iq person than if two high iq people had a kid
