i don't use this board for actual discussion of literature. I use other online websites for this because i have observed the level of stupidity this board entails and i know that if i did want to discuss a literary essay there are very few people who will have read it.
And if i shared that essay with /lit/ there are very few people who will read it.

This is only considered a negative trait by a majority of people when it starts inhibiting on other important aspects of your life.

Also I don't know about you (speculating your virginity) but I enjoy sex, it surprisingly makes me feel good. If at times I am given the opportunity to do this why is this considered unhealthy by your standards?

Unless you're one of those people who believe in monogamy? Which is an entirely social construct and we must remember that biologically it suits us better.

However on the flipside with this board being so small and some of the Tripfags as i have previously said act pretty erratically. I imagine though however if we were all tripfags, or if I were one myself I imagine people would develop a huge hatred for me (and rightfully so, I'm a dick too) simply because of how small this board is and how easy it is to see posts from the same person over and over again.

>However on the flipside with this board being so small and some of the Tripfags as i have previously said act pretty erratically. I imagine though however if we were all tripfags, or if I were one myself I imagine people would develop a huge hatred for me (and rightfully so, I'm a dick too) simply because of how small this board is and how easy it is to see posts from the same person over and over again.

i didn't understand much of this tbh

Sorry haven't slept for a while, basically.

Small board, plus mostly tripfags posting and plus the fact its a slow board means more likely to see tripfag posts from the same user.

Pretty much the model in which tension between anons and Tripfags starts.
