/lit/ - Literature

Reading philosophy is to living life what reading /v/ is to playing video games.
The two are distinctly different activities, even if they revolve around the same subject. You don't become a wise man from reading philosophy, just like you don't get good in video games from reading /v/.
Spend 90% on actual practice, 10% on reading shitposts by other retards (who's philosophys goat shitposter of all time?)

Cheers m8, genuinely having to spend my time looking at long-lasting foods, provisions and non electrical shit just in case the worst case scenario happens because so far everything that was seen to be the worst case scenario over the last two years has happened and I doubt anything is going to change within the next couple of months.

It's surreal being in the UK at the moment - it's so clear the government is/we're in chaos and we're hurtling towards the worst case scenario to a point where we're just sat laughing about how ridiculous it is knowing how bad it'll be. Being in Tottenham in 2011 during the last set of riots was eye-opening as to how quickly the state/police can just fuck off and leave you to your own.

The poorest are always the ones who are fucked - it's genuinely the one thing that stands true regardless of race, religion or political systems. What I can't believe is that people fell for all this nonsense.
