man that image is disturbing to think about, why do all these insectoid npc's exist
>Is there any good coming of age literature that isn’t YA bullshit like Catcher in the Rye?
The Red and the Black and Charterhouse of Parma, both by Stendhal

Which age though?

Story of the Eye

Why is that translation so expensive?

>>13676013
Pranksters trying to posses your monies. Second printing has a fruity pink cover. Just DL it

>>13676024
I would DL it but I personally find paper much less strenuous to read. Thanks for letting me know there was a new printing

>>13676000
I believe we’re being poisoned in a million different ways

Just read a Scientific America article, called something like Broccoli is Dying, Corn is Poison, something Biomes something. Very good message, needs to get out

Butterfly, I am going to shove my cock in your pussy

Jesus, butters, you're starting to sound like a geriatric boomer

Kerouac

I really don't see anything particularly interesting in this work.

What's wrong with flouride? I'm not even memeing too, I just want to know the counter arguments since I fucked up my teeth and my dentist suggests that I use a bunch of flouride (toithpaste, mouth rinse, cleanings) for a preventative home care routine. It always felt fishy to me that schools would mandate extra flouride to be given to kids every morning.

>>13676056
Read the SA article, cornboy

>>13676068
Why though? What age are in need of becoming?

In Search of Lost Time, it takes place over roughly 50 years, though it’s deliberately ambiguous about the passage of time

>>13676172
*what age are YOU in need of becoming

>>13676165
it calcifies your pineal antenna, it's used to directly access universal consciousness and to initiate contact with aliens.

>coming of age literature that isn’t YA
Hmm, no

Oh look. Bayers takeover of Monsanto now has its own NY Jewish lawyer soundtrack in the form of a book. May the shekels roll!

Nobody cared until Bayer fell for the bait and bought the US crap company. Probably advised by the very same NY lawyers.

>>13676193
I’m not sure what your angle is. Some of the big rats are fleeing a sinking ship. It’s to be expected.

>>13676193
People cared about Monsanto before bayer bought them, when they weren’t fretting about women and black people.

>>13676210
No they didn’t. Mostly only victims cared but they had no voice.

>>13676202
My issue is that the “care” is artificially manufactured. Nothing has changed. Outrage is carefully created and directed.

>>13676165
It really makes you think that schizo magnum opus has changed from flouride to GMO and S.O.Y.

>>13675995
Infinite Jest, people would get why if they actually read it (Hal's "coming out", etc.)

>>13676238
Doesn’t matter what the name of the company is, doesn’t really matter who the CEOs are. Capitalism demands profits and this company will poison us all for it.

You know, I used to hate you butterfly and thought you were just a dumb attention whore, but honestly you've grown on me, and now I am glad to see a post of yours in a thread.

Guess I'm trying to say sorry for all those times I said very nasty things to you.

>>13676230
I definitely remember people bitched about monsanto, along with the “these 6 companies make all your products” crap

>>13676396
Imagine this self centered and anonymously posting perosnal message on public.

>>13676396
That’s nice.

Try to imagine yourself not laced with glyphosate.

>>13676013
Some controversy over the original publisher being supposedly fascist or something.

>>13676421
Imagine yourself with half a brain

the entire point of 4chan in my view is becoming ridiculous variations of people that you largely don't even agree with to test out thoughts and ways of being that you could never do irl because of the negative consequences, and your basic awareness of the social situation constraining even your ability to think let alone say things.

almost nothing I post on this site I actually really believe, it's just an exercise in going into foreign idea worlds through becoming different people and having these interactions

not the guy you responded to though

>>13676432
Not all thoughts are valid. Even the most open minded person probably gets frustrated by retards.

>>13676437
And 4chan will call you a retard without hesitation when your thoughts are retarded, that's part of the feedback mechanism that allows this exploration of ideas.

>>13676443
I feel more constrained at here by meme responds like s@y cuck reddit discord tranny

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. God tier, somehow kind of slips under the radar even though Goethe's a huge name. My favorite from him besides Faust.

>>13676518
People rarely give me those insults on here for whatever reason. Maybe im overly socialized to 4chan discourse lmao. In any case if someone does call me a retard I don't really care that much because Im not sensitive about that, but if like 5 people tell you you're dumb, and they explain why, which is what I love about this place, they'll actually explain why what you said was retarded instead of just shaming you, then I will take their arguments into consideration.

There's a whole genre called the Bildungsroman. Some good examples: Le Grand Meaulnes, Tonio Kroger, The Confusions of Young Torless, Of Human Bondage, Sebastien Roch, The Young Desire It, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, etc.

Sorry about your thread getting raped because of your OP image.

>It calcifies your mumbo jumbo gland and makes you posessed by demons
This is the type of shit everyone says though. Can you link some actual resources to learn about it if you're so sure? I'm not being disengenouous, I just want actual information on what harm flouride is doing/will do to me.
