>this board is filled with prose fags

Yes, yes, the words are pretty. Reading those books are like finding shit in an eclair instead of cream.

>the holocaust goy

Stopped the gay little quiz there.

>it's seriously good
>n-no I don't have to discuss its contents

I have never read the book. I use 4chan by analyzing who is full of shit. This thread smells of shit. The simplest way to find out which book sucks is if the whole thread has not one post about its contents.

>praising a book for being based before you even read it
>anon reads the book with glee as he thinks "holy moly this book is so freaking based. classics are the ONLY thing worth reading. Me? Oh, I only read the CANON."

You are all dolts. Many of you hide behind the fact that you can't actually respond to criticism with anything intelligible. I think you all sincerely think that reading makes you more intelligent instead of it being another outlet of entertainment. This board is /mu/ with literature. Half of you just started posting when jordan peterson became big and when infinite jest posting was all the rage. This board is recently fast. Before, threads lasted days. Anons used to actually talk about new novels instead of the same three shit books. Enjoy your 1000 page novel in translation.

People are going to tell you all sorts of things that they won't bother to explain or back up. It is your decision if you are willing to believe them. I don't. Other retards do. Only an idiot would believe that someone isn't attracted to anyone. It is nature and only existed in the past ten years due to people using sexuality as identity. Don't even play the game. Gays and lesbians all have fetishes. It is like having a mommy fetish, black fetish, Asian fetish. No different. Guarantee this person was abused or is simply too indoctrinated or ugly. Mental problems too. Does the concept even make sense to you?

Why does it matter if an artist is dead for some people? It is as if that artist gets a value boost because they are not living. This seems retarded to me. Are you all who think this unwell?

It sucks. I don't care about the sexual history of a girl im hooking up with, but to think that the mother of my children has been ravaged by a filthy subhuman ape is repulsive. You have to do a full sexual history check on any girl you want to marry. And no, this doesn't mean just asking her "hey how many people have you fucked and were any of them nonwhite?" because of course she'll lie. You have to ask her friends and family, dig through social media, and basically become a P.I. so that you can be sure that no gorilla has had your woman. I wish I lived in an all white country.

I'd rather be a frog poster for 50 more years instead of an eternity in heaven.

Depressive realism is a hypothesis that states that the depressed can more accurately describe reality than the non-depressed.

Suppose I gave you 1 hour to name as many movies as you could off the top of your head. At the end of this hour, suppose you didn’t list Toy Story. There could be three reasons you didn’t list Toy Story within that time frame:

1. You’ve never heard of that movie, in which case you’d never be able to name it.
2. You were naming movies off non-stop and didn’t have time to name off Toy Story
3. You knew of Toy Story but the thought to name it never “appeared” in your brain

Suppose the reason was 3, and now apply this to other situations in life. You have to complete a project at work in 10 weeks. In order to finish on time, you might have a week to “brainstorm”. How much control do you have over what pops into your head during the “brainstorming” process? What if a perfect solution exists but it never occurs to you? Are you at “fault” for only coming up with a mediocre solution? In what sense are you at “fault”?

This is something that has really messed with me, I go into job interviews with this exact same attitude, they’re going to ask me a question I’ve never been asked and I have to come up with the answer on the spot, but what that actually means is I need to put faith in my brain to just have the solution appear. There’s no “control” at all here. We are slaves to the random machinations of our brains. I have internalized this idea so fully that I can barely interact with people who don’t believe it, it’s like they’re a different species.

You give a child an exam, how can you be “disappointed” in them for not getting the correct answers?

Another failed job interview and I’m starting to realize my life is destined for mediocrity and loneliness. I can’t seem to connect with anyone, I don’t have whatever these people are looking for.

I want to leave my small, boring town, but I can’t get hired anywhere. I apply everywhere, I only get interviews in my small, boring town and then I leave with a rejection, which is hilarious because my town is so remote that these businesses are constantly looking for technical labor. This makes the rejection sting even worse because I realize these companies are opting to have no one in those positions rather than me. I speak to no one most days, no one my age lives here.

There seems to be opportunities everywhere, jobs, relationships, friends, yet none of them are for me. It feels like myself and the other low status people within society are perpetually locked out of all of the fun parts of being alive. No money for us, no good looks, no charisma, no status, totally invisible.

I feel as though I’ll never be an active participant in society. I wake up, I shuffle through the motions, I speak to no one, I feel nothing. I don’t remember the last time I’ve spoken to a woman. I don’t remember the last time anyone has spoken to me unprompted. My life has no meaning to myself and has no value to anyone else on this planet. I will never accomplish anything, I will die and no one will care.

Are literally ALL women whores? This is the philosophical question I have been pondering lately.

I’ve seen some absolutely vile, disgusting, behavior from women who claimed to be in committed relationships. I’ve seen them lie about this behavior, rationalize it in nasty ways (like saying they’re being “abused” by their partner), and abandon and betray men who have been nothing but good to them their entire lives.

From experience, ALL women are whores, even the ones you don’t expect like the quiet, shy girl in the back of class. It really sickens me to say this but it’s my experience, I’ve never seen or heard of a woman who was loyal.

There’s nothing quite as humiliating as the modern job hunt. You apply for a job online, unsure if anyone is ever even seeing your application. At many companies you never get a rejection or any notification that your app was ever seen by anyone, you were likely filtered out by some computerized system.

You apply for ten separate jobs on the company’s “job portal”, and on the off chance you do get a reply it’s either a poorly written pile of shit with misspellings and grammatical errors for a “phone interview”, or it’s a “text interview” you can complete on your phone while you take a shit.

Then the day of the phone interview comes and the interviewer was given the wrong time by the HR person, and now you’ve got some jackass blowing up your phone telling you that he needs to reschedule. Then, should you actually get to the “phone interview” you realize that the person asking the questions is filling out some fucking form with a protocol designed by some other dumbfuck and the whole thing feels so alien you may as well not be talking to another person at all. All your answers have to be tailored to their gay little form (whether it’s STAR or EARL) and you can hear them writing during the awkward silence when you’re done speaking.

Then, if you’re lucky enough to get an “call back” you get the same thing in person, and you go through the whole rigamorale of deciding exactly what to wear (“suit or business casual?!”) so as not to have these fucking freaks who obsess over trivial, nonexistent bullshit make some weird comment about you being over or underdressed, only to find your in-person interview is functionally identical to the dumb fucking phone interview you did. You realize thirty seconds into the interview that all of the “screening” taking place is bullshit, and you could do any of these peoples jobs on your own with a couple weeks of training.

Then if you’re lucky enough to get the job, you come to the realization that none of your “education” mattered in the first place, that you’re writing instructions for some new piece of equipment for people who are basically illiterate and will never read them anyway, and you spent a couple years solving heat transfer problems and differential equations to have the privilege of doing this “job”.

If you are the type of person who obsesses over advancing your “career” or any of this other absolute bullshit nonsense: End your fucking life you dumb ducking cretin. NOW.
