For one, and this is highly hypocritical of me, leave this place. Even if it means you'll have no social connection, that is a far better fate than staying here. Leave. Then, after you have adjusted to not being here for about two weeks or so, you need to take a four-pronged approach to sorting yourself out: body, emotions, mind, and spirit. Work out six days a week, alternating lifts and cardio. Take up some art form (besides literature), even if its drawing sketches for an hour. Devote yourself to learning a new language, I suggest French first. Last, keep a dream journal, record everything. do all of this for a year all while documenting your every thought along the way.

Hey there, I see you've decided to make a thread on /lit/. Here's some helpful questions for you to self-evaluate on whether your thread is a piece of shit or not:

1. If you are asking for reccomendations based on genre/subject/content/a certain atmosphere or feel, have you tried searching other places beforehand, such as review sites, academic journals, university syllabuses, or, if you have any, friends?
2. Does your thread contain the name of any famous literary or philosophical figure(s) (or that figure's ideas) that has been shilled extensively on /lit/ in the past few months?
2a. If the answer is 'yes' to question 2, does your thread contain any extensive references to that literary/philosophical figure's works in order to provide a good jumping-off point for deeper discussion?
3. Does your thread contain any ambiguous buzzwords (e.g. "postmodernism", "nihilism", "Marxism") that would require a great deal of elucidation and scholarly analysis to come to a consensus as to the exact meaning of the word?
4. Is your thread related to the act of/motivation to/doubts about etc... reading books rather than the books themselves?
5. Is your thread related to religion?
5a. If the answer is 'yes' to question 5, do you reference any theological studies or actual religious texts in detail in your thread?
6. Do you use any terminology that is used frequently on /pol/?
7. If you are asking for an opinion about the quality of a specific book, is it a book that has been extensively shilled on /lit/ in the past few months?
8. Does your thread contain any actual words (as opposed to punctuation marks or emojis)?
9. Is your thread related to writing advice, yet is not a part of a critique thread?
10. Does your thread consist of only 1 sentence?

If you have answered 'yes' to any of the above questions (or if you have answered 'yes' or 'no' question 1) - Congratulations! Your thread is a piece of shit. Kindly remove yourself (and your thread) from the board and contemplate what you are doing with your existence.

If not - Congratulations! Your thread may possibly be contributing to humanity's totaI written knowledge of the world. Keep doing what you're doing.

Women are NPC shopkeepers. You show up and offer them social capital and they sell you access to their holes. If you show them anything other than social capital, they get confused. They used to return simple error messages but recent upgrades have allowed them to pretend to have a bit of personality, like instead of saying "I DON'T BUY THAT." in block letters, they now say "Sweetie, I'm not interested in that! What else do you have?" which is more realistic and less immersion-breaking. But still, they are just a mathematical function.

>>12374545
Though very young at the time, the writer remembers well the turbulent days in the autumn of 1937, when the most hotly contested elections of the interwar period were being fought in Transylvania. As a child of eight I visited with my parents some relatives and family friends in a village deep in the Apuseni Mountains, the heart of Romanian Transylvania .. In the evening, when the intelligentsia gathered in the salon .. {the villagers} discussed only one thing: the coming visit of Codreanu, the dreaded captain of the Iron Guard, the next day. There was simply no limit to the abuse these ladies and gentlemen, Hungarians of the Christian and Jewish faith, heaped upon him. One of the ladies, who had seen him in Târgu Mureș the year before, spoke of him as if she had seen the monster's head but dared not describe it.

Something of an adventurer by nature, I decided I must take a closer look at this fabulous being, whatever the cost. The next day I proceeded to carry out my decision. My best friend, the son of the local Orthodox priest and older by four years, provided some pieces of peasant costume, and the two conspirators headed toward the churchyard where the Legionary meeting was to take place.

The little square before the church teemed with peasants dressed in their colorful Sunday best. Many of them had walked dozens of miles to get there. And there were many, too many, gendarmes from the local gendarme station. The prefect of the district of Turda had, as officials of inefficient, corrupt regimes often do, administered a pinprick to exasperate rather than a blow to crush; he had forbidden Codreanu to speak but had not outlawed the meeting itself. And the crowd of simple, miserable peasants swelled until the churchyard could hold no more.

There was suddenly a hush in the crowd. A tall, darkly handsome man dressed in the white costume of a Romanian peasant rode into the yard on a white horse. He halted close to me, and I could see nothing monstrous or evil in him. On the contrary. His childlike, sincere smile radiated over the miserable crowd, and he seemed to be with it yet mysteriously apart from it. Charisma is an inadequate word to define the strange force that emanated from this man. He was more aptly simply part of the forests, of the mountains, of the storms on the snow-covered peaks of the Carpathians, and of the lakes and rivers. And so he stood amid the crowd, silently.

He had no need to speak. His silence was eloquent; it seemed to be stronger than we, stronger than the order of the prefect who denied him speech. An old, white-haired peasant woman made the sign of the cross on her breast and whispered to us, "The emissary of the Archangel Michael!" Then the sad little church bell began to toll, and the service which invariably preceded Legionary meetings began. Deep impressions created in the soul of a child die hard. In more than a half of a century I have never forgotten my meeting with Corneliu Zelea Codreanu.
