Surely this chick has a dick.

Is the gag in this thread that everybody pretends not to notice?

>be me
>avidly reading the bible
>get to the part where God tells Abraham the shit's all fucked in Sodom so he's going to destroy it unless there are 50 good men in the city
>Abraham actually decides to negotiate a better deal with the lord
>talks him down to 25 good men
>still doesn't even find that many

lmao, I think Abraham there really missed the point in the first place. It's like if I told a five year old to lift 500 pounds above it's head and it's counteroffer was 250 pounds. Knock yourself out, kid, I don't give a fuck. But seriously, who dickers with god like that? And it was such bad negotiating tactics too.

Stoicism and Epicureanism are for fucking babies and high schoolers, and those stupid shithead germanic early-twenty-somethings who can't understand medieval philosophy yet think they are so God damn enlightened. They will be like "the quinque viae is special pleading" or, when attempting to explain the vast and terrible origins of religion, "I don't understand, therefore God." They will say this shit, and then get on discord and shitpost about warframe or some stupid shit for 4 hours, go to bed, get up the next day for school/work. Having a cozy pedestrian life of perfectly air-conditioned buildings containing cleanly ikea furniture. They don't give a shit about philosophy, or anything for that matter. They don't know what it is to lose sleep in the contemplation of exalted matters. I am convinced this is roughly 90% of 4chan users. I sift through you fucks day after day, plumbing the depths of your minds looking for a little spark of understanding but finding only a hamster running on a fucking wheel. The only positive side to this is that you never fail to convince me, despite my gargantuan efforts in the way of humility, that I am a fucking genius. If you people are supposed to be smart then just what the fuck does that make me? I feel so alone. All I wish for, as a citizen of this planet earth, is that, upon hearing somebody say "nietzsche solved philosophy" I might be inclined to think "hm, this is a profitable opinion, perhaps not the best possible but certainly nothing I disagree too vehemently with."
BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I GOTTA BE THE FUCKING CHOSEN ONE OR SOME SHIT

/lit/ I need books that deal with the loss of youth and misspent childhood.
Today I saw some kids, maybe 14-15yo, walking together down the street having fun just enjoying being alive, and suddenly I got this horrible feeling. I realized that I never had that, and even worse, that any chance of having that is long gone by now. I thought of all the other things I missed out on; young love, high school etc. It's all gone and it kills me, I've been thinking about it for at least a few years now and every time I do it makes me feel incredibly upset. Most of my friends had sex for the first time at 14, 15 or 16 years old. I thought they were stupid for it, and saved myself for after I became an adult. I'm 20 now, a kissless virgin, and even if I had sex now it wouldn't be the same, there wouldn't be that spark, it wouldn't begin with friendship and evolve naturally into something serious, my partner wouldn't be a virgin so even if it is exciting for me it will not be nearly as exciting for her.
And don't get the wrong impression, I'm not some r9k shitter, I have good looks and I have no doubt I could get a cute gf, and it's not that I want her to be a virgin, in the sense of 'untainted', it's just that I want it to be equally as exciting, equally as new for her as it is for me. And the hookup culture totally breaks this expectation for both parties, which leaves me feeling kinda jaded.
So yeah I need some kind of closure here or I feel like I can't continue.
