Lesbian books are better than gay books

I’ll give you a bump and a frog, but I’m afraid I cannot help you beyond that

I've been trying to design a coat of arms that incorporates a design that could double as a Japanese mon for months now. I can't settle on an animal or plant or other natural artifact that represents me and I lack creativity overall so it's been difficult.

you are undoubtedly ngmi

Please give me books that argue in favor of Eugenics. I want something written from a philosophically and scientifically informed point of view, and that considers real cases.

Many of you here have quite the foul mouth.
Obscenity is a sign of a lacking vocabulary
which in turn is a sign of a lack of reading.
What gives, /lit/?

The Wind in the Willows if you're near to a river.

I would but I honestly hate writing freehand because it hurts after a while. I also dislike looking at my own handwriting, and if I make one mistake the whole journal has to go in the trash so I usually write with a pencil. I'm not a good thought writer to make daily banal shit sound interesting or even whimsical so why fucking bother?

To put it differently the argument that the anti-materialism people come up with is just an illustration of a lack of understanding of how conscious experience can manifest out of billions of moving objects.
Instead, they invent conjectured axioms upon which to mount their metaphysical system. This gives them the illusion of a deeper understanding of the phenomenon but it's effectively, functionally useless at understanding how the brain works. They can't do anything with their answers.
The materialism view however smacks you in the face when you take a psychedelic or any mind altering chemical. It becomes strikingly apparent that a few objects manipulating the "ordered" pattern of the billions of neurons that make up your sober conscious experience can make you experience completely different things.
It also becomes apparent that materialism is the answer when we do tests using brain/machine interfaces. There's no need for metaphysics or anything that sways from materialism when trying to understand consciousness. Assuming there's more to it is just a massive cope because the answer is boring/scary to some.

Snufkin is cool, but I don't care about any other character so it's difficult to get into this series

What the fuck does the last part mean?
