what are the best translations of his complete works? Especially Works of Love.

everyone has their loyalists, the guys who won't back down..... And owen isn't a bad guy, he's just confused. Like most of us, if we're honest.

the funniest thing was how he triggered daddy issues for Owen Benjamin.

There is a lot there about how women compete with each other, how women are each other's worst critic, how women are so horrible to each other....

I am interested in Sam Harris. I have not read a single book of his yet because I'm only recently becoming aware of him. I saw him in one of his JP debates and I found myself largely agreeing with Sam more than with JP. Since then I've been looking more into Sam's work. What book of his is a good starting point? One thing that annoyed me so far about him is that he says definitely that Trump is racist but I haven't been able to find his explanation of why he can so definitively say that. IMO there is a big difference between prejudice and racist; I think Trump and many people have prejudices, but that's not necessarily racism. Anyway, I'd love to read more about Sam's thought about that and everything else. I enjoyed him in those debates.

except that she does demonstrably identify as a she. She's a woman. Gay woman. Lesbian. Pick your label. I think labels are overrated and that her sexual preference, while interesting, is in the grand scheme of things, irrelevant.

But yeah, I am very much a cuck in that I've cucked out on a. lot of things. I've also been pretty brave in my life in areas where it matters. What can I say? Complex life? Ups and downs. Good times and bad. I know nuance is hard for some of you Millennials and Gen Z to understand. YOU GUYS love your fucking labels.

SHE actually my sympathy right up until she chopped off his legs. Then it was bye bye sympathy.

Gatsby was both likable and unlikable. Nick was kind of a tool, but essentially likable in my opinion because he was sympathetic. The 60s/70s? version of the movie, starring Redford, made Nick even more sympathetic to me because of Sam Waterston's eloquent portrayal.

Best post in the thread so far. Agree she's not likely to be a TERF. I think her view of trans community is probably rather simple, simple truth you might say-- trans people are individuals, so the whole idea of clumping them into groups, like a one size fits all, is just more postmodern nonsense.

Because here's to once-upon-a-time-overhyped Illuminati fanfic that Ron Howard produced into a movie starring Tom Hanks.

I haven't read it. With a title like that, it is most probably esoteric AF.

why thank you

His parents were probably just doing what other boomer/gen x parents do-- they circumsize the baby not because of religion but because it's like what normies do. I'm against it too, but more because it's hideously painful for the baby than on account of any feeling that I need foreskin to experience maximum sexual pleasure. (Not discounting the claim, just saying.... babies screaming like they're being murdered is enough reason for me to be against it.)

ANNIE HALL RESPONED: "I don't know. I still think she's neat."

Alvy Singer: "Neat? I hate to tell you this, but neat went out at the turn of the century."

Proud to shill and proud to be weird

it's not really exclusive to boomers. And let's face it, just because a death is declared a suicide, that doesn't mean it actually was. So assuming "choice" is presumptuous.

Correcting myself: "to his face" (see above)

>>13825898
good question, and now that I think about it, I think *she* does actually identify as a he, as I remember Jordan Peterson calling him a he very distinctly, to her face, obviously with *his* approbation. My mistake above.

She's all right but unfortunately her legacy is marred by the college girl mentality

goddamn right

(Theory about Styx: Descended from the earls of Warwick, his parents named him Earl, but being an epic Troll, he changed his name to Tarl.)

She's trans too (but still identifies with female pronouns.... it would be weird for a feminist not to)

well said, I think you're right. He only gets shat on because he writes for the normies. And because his political opinions are crap. And he lives in Maine. Not that there's anything wrong with Maine. But he lives there so it makes other normies want to live there.
