I used to be a pyromaniac just starting small fires in backalleys. setting a handful of newspapers on fire here and there on bare concrete away from anything that could catch fire. but one evening i took cocaine, and drank the most of my life, and blacked out. I guess I went on a maniacal rampage throwing cinder blocks through car windows and I set a dumpster on fire behind a packed bar. I was laughing hysterically while I was doing it.

>>18134572
29. Bad upbringing. Basically I meet all the criteria of someone who would become a pyro. Father abandoned the family. Lots of alcoholism(we're irish), lots of depression, poor. that sort of thing. you would never know I had such a fucked up inclination though if you met me. I'm pretty popular in my city, well liked, I've been a bartender at nice clubs since I was 18.

Yes. The American Friend is great

Also liked Pina, and I don’t even care for dance. Somehow it was just excellent.

>>18140534
just watch Wim Wenders entire filmography

City of Angels was good. I watched Until The End of the World when I was a teenager in the 90s and it came on scifi channel. Absolutely loved it, feels bad Solveig Dommartin passed away. Do not read any summaries or plot synopsis. Just watch UTEOTW. Criterion Collection came out with a DVD/BluRay remaster, I got it and am waiting for a solid block of 5 hours to watch it. If you enjoy that one check out Code 46, not nearly as good but its a similar globe trotting dystopian road movie. Also Samantha Morton is a cutie.

What is trip fag

>>18142298
You actively participate on this shithole and don't know what a tripcode is?

>>18142298
You can enter a name into the name bar, but have a proof it is you by putting a "#" and than follow it with text, for example my trip in this post is Name #Name. If you copy it into your name bar you will get the same trip. A good example of this was the Q anon psyop, in which someone on a imageboard site used the name Q followed by a trip code to identify the post to the followers.

Eh I don't see how it can be linked if it's a made up name. And besides, if anyone (likely the feds) cared to learn about me they probably have and already know a lot beyond my control, so it is pointless.

Blue board. So I guess it is okay to state your age here. Somehow I got away with stating my age on r9k but maybe that's because I was on cellular. I would recommend staying off red boards, or at least going on rarely, those places aint good for the head, even blue boards are not. At least there is (some extent) of free speech here and it is anonymous, so no strings (aside from feds) and occasional new good content. Though places like r9k are cesspools' of filth, and even /pol/ gets on my nerves, though its right about a lot it gets repetitive, dull and very harsh for no reason.

Probably, creepy lgbtq whatever groups latch onto a lot of cool hobbies in the modern era more so compared to other groups to be quirky. But I don't even hate fags that much as long as they don't act weird, and troons are mentally ill, I just hate the agenda run by the malicious government and find them annoying.

Yes very true I only go for the occasional humor threads that are really good/

I visit /wsg/ for some hyperborean webms

I gotta figure this place out or something. I don't really care much about it, there's very few places that are okay. I hate the Japanese boards here.

Some of the china webms are great, I love the ones where they kick into the elevator and jump down the shaft, chinks are weird folks and I know from experience
>I visit /wsg/ for some hyperborean webms
Eh I find those rather dull admittedly, but the ideas it's based on, Evola's, are not. Too bad since he was in the wrong place at the wrong time he had to get labelled a "fascist."
> I hate the Japanese boards here.
Yeah I don't browse them very much, though I love anime and a few JRPGs, Hellsing. Ouran High, Black Butler, Kamisama Kiss, JoJo Part 3, Trails In The Sky, Ys just to name a few. Though I don't really watch or play much anymore because I think it might be freemason propaganda, the signs are there and the timeline post WWII lines up. Still like the drawings obviously.
>Yeah desu same
Like any sane person should. It's getting worse now that they are shilling dangerous vaccines that cause paralysis, infertility, skin falling off, and other such things just to name a few.

I don't like anime for the most part but there are some based ones like baki, jojo pt 2&3 ( apart from these all the rest sucked ass and pt3 got insanely repetitive ), one outs, I have to watch aot and I'm trying to get into some romance ones but they're all shit. I watched oregairu and domestic girlfriend, the latter was the worst shit I've ever watched in my entire life while orgairu was pretty ok.

>I think it might be freemason propaganda, the signs are there and the timeline post WWII lines up. Still like the drawings obviously.

I know King's work is kind of a meme around here, but I still unironically enjoy his work. It's no masterpiece by any means, but it's a fun ride for what it is. It's like the literary equivalent of sitting down to eat a meal and just settling for a bag of chips; not nutritious or beneficial, but pretty enjoyable in the moment.

The shojo ones are usually the best like Ouran or Kamisama, though you probably won't like very much unless your a girl or like cute boys, but nonetheless they make me smile.
>yeah true lmao
Sadly
>You seem to have read a shit ton of books
Nah man just a few, thanks for the compliment though, glad I seem somewhat well read, there are others here who have read so much more and always will be. Though I really got into reading this year, read stuff you like but also try to learn things too like about a factual subjects or history, though I mainly like classic /lit/ and poetry. Here's one trick that helps, set out a goal, like to read 90 pages a day or so. Using the trick of reading for 25 minutes, taking a 5 minute break, and repeating for 4 times and than taking a 20 minute break and than getting back to work on the same cycle helps me a lot, I got through 300 pages in hours of a penguin classic! 25 read-5 min break-25 read-5 min break-25 read-5 minute break-25 read-20 minute break-5 min break etc. etc. Try to read about a topic you like, I'd recommend charts from the /lit/ wiki, whether by era, country, genre, etc. also don't be afraid to read things you just come across and things for fun. As I said I focus on history and poetry chronologically, Homer and such. however I love a good action novel so I read The Turner Diaries and Blood Meridian (My dad's a McCarthy fan, he has all the books). Reading is a good hobby because you can live other times and places, and a great author or poet if they have mastered the language enough can use your minds eye to create films greater than anything on tv. Reading is good, but writing is also great and it's dirt cheap, I love taking what I have read and combining ideas in my short stories and poems, writing allows you to be a god and create something beautiful.

Also if you don’t know already use libgen and z library, you can download any books copyright or not onto you pc for free if you have the calibre software or just in iBooks on your phone. Or if that ain’t your thing just by cheap paperbacks as people here recommend.

yeah seriously. there's a passage where he says that the landscape was one whose geography was not stone but fear, that rocked me to the core

>>18144755
I like the description “urine colored sun” a lot because it sounds stupid, but when you think about the actual color, they hazy brownish sun of the West, bleakly beaming down on the landscape it makes sen. I also like how he describes the sun in a few other ways depending on location or time of day to create a great mood, like he’s a great lighting director in a film, genius. His landscape of Mexico seems ancient And weathered, yet alive and alive with death.
