I close my eyes and watch some birds. This vision lasts only a second, maybe less; I don’t know how many birds I saw. Was their number defined or not? This problem also includes inside it the problem of the existence of God. If there is a God, the number is determined, as God knows how many birds I saw. If God does not exist, this number is not determined, as no one could count them. In this case, I saw, let’s say, less than ten birds and more than one, but I didn’t see nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three or two birds. I saw a number of birds between ten and one, which is neither nine, nor eight, nor seven, nor six, nor five etc. This integer is inconceivable; therefore, God exists.

Yeah this screencap is the only thing I've ever seen on the internet that has made me literally seethe with rage. I'm still clenching; fists, jaw and rectum alike.

what makes you think new books in my country cost that much?

IJ cost me $15

Canada has very expensive books. Even used books are considered cheap at $2-5 bucks a pop. unless you go to major urban centres used books wont be found much cheaper than that.

Go check the BBC on Hollywood inequality.

I love it when capitalism and equality combine, because, they inflate into this farty bubble everyone smells but they don't know they're even smelling it - all they are is angry and confused.

ARE WE ANGRY AND CONFUSED IN HERE? WELL GOOD.

I have read it, start to finish, endnotes too. I read every single pathetic attempt to impress and bore the reader, I suffered through every single chemical formula this hack copied out of a pharmaceutical textbook, I sat through the most boring descriptions of sports in literary history, just so I could tell you, a DFW fan, that it's shit, and I know it's shit.

You can't appreciate the big hollow clockwork of the notoriously Tin Man of POMO? You don't like His embarrassing emulations of Pynchon or His damn fine one of Lynch? Plenty of it is shit and plenty of it is Au. Maybe you're a fucking idiot? Have you considered this?
