anon there has never been a guarantee for anything. I can't even guarantee that i'll live tomorrow, however if you base your judgment on the chance that something bad MAY happen then you'll just be paralyzed with fear.

can't, my ego is too big
but the point still stands, you'll probably get the shit kicked out of you if you try and convince people that there is an downside to being black

Well if you have enough time and set up it will shove a crab in your dick, but i digress
Seeing death as a painful experience is your problem anon, you perceive it to be a tragic fate or a punchline to the set-up that is life. Stop assuming death is bad. If there is an afterlife, a higher power that has been know to be benevolent will reward good deeds. Thus don't be an asshole and you are golden. Or, if there is no afterlife and after death you cease to exist, then you won't even notice you are dead. Eternity will be but a second to you.

My english teacher recommended the class a book by trevor noah called "Born a Crime" (the new guy who runs the daily show on comedy central) and while i'm very much not a fan of his comedy (let's just insult trump every 5 minutes), it is actually a neat little read as it portrays life in south africa right as apartheid ended and the effects of it. I am speeding through it however so i can get back to reading dubliners and then some tolstoy short stories.
I need to stop buying video games only for them to sit on shelves.

It's nothing serious and I take it as a polite gesture if you kind of control (suppress?) it

It's completely cool by me

I would've never guessed that a single .gif -file could make someone this bitter.
Well, I guess we all have our triggers. For some it's happy people, for others it's women and for rather sad individuals it's both :)
And oh, I got the .gif from a rather comfy /lit/ thread, in which two anons were discussing their sexual inadequencies and someone posted the .gif to tease them.
It got a similarly entertaining and hostile reaction from the unloved posters, so I saved it for future use. So, where should I go? The thread was pruned or deleted, as it wasn't about literature, so I can't go there and I consider this the second best option.

So, how are you?

I only read fantasy and science fiction, so I just drop it and look up a plot summary.
