Not necessary of course, but having been in the Air Force myself you can really see where the humor sprouts from which really helped me enjoy it. It takes all the absurdities of military life and cranks it up.

Today I finished chapter 2 out of 27
I'm gonna be so fucking rich, witness me

Very disappointing.

>Whenever you see manly men who get loads of pussy, they tend to be respectful of both women and less masculine men.

This never happens though. Those 'respectful' guys are being unwittingly cucked as their 'progressive' girl hooks up with whatever gym-going Chad swipes right on Tinder.

Pretty good job at putting into words what I was thinking for some time.

When I read The Last Days of Socrates, there was always something about Socrates that struck me as a little off. He had an inescapable of pride, or even vanity, about him.

Nonetheless, I still admire Socrates. I heard one of his favourite quips through Nietzsche: Someone called him a 'monstrum', to which he responded, "You know me, sir!"

I often ponder the way in which he said that, or if there is even more than one way to say it in Ancient Greek. In English, you could say:

>"You know me, sir!"

Quickly and with an air of surprise, as if pleased to find that someone does actually know him. Or else more like:

"You know me, sir..."

Slower and with an air of sarcasm, as if to imply that the guy doesn't really know him at all. I wonder which Socrates might have been aiming for.

It's true.

I need a book of this.

Wasn't Plato's defence of Socrates some sort of hilarious bullshit act that amounted to "dindu nuffin!"?

>Lambastes Schopenhauer for building a philosophy around his own pessimism
>Makes his own philosophy to compensate for a pathetic cuckold life wherein, among other things, he gets rejected by a girl 3 times and finds his best friend doesn't want to die for the Jews

>Tfw 20k words into what will arguably be the greatest work of the 21st century, and your job hinders you from giving it the proper attention

>Wanting Russians to have anything in common with the Japanese

Not until the latter stop taking fucking anime/manga seriously.

I'm not actually trashing them; but both are held in the same light as serious/proper literature by the Japanese. It's unconscionable.

I mean, in the context of the Road it MIGHT have made sense; if the eating of babies was included to make some point about how 'insane' the cannibals are.

Rather than just eat whatever they can get their hands on, they'd rather eat babies for the thrill of it. Or whatever.

The other part with the guys who keep a load of captives in their cellar and eat them, body parts at a time, is more believable.
