Basically girls like being treated a little roughly in bed. You're not hurting her feelings by pushing her down and taking what you want, or by flipping her over and grabbing her hair. When they tell you to cum for them, don't. Assert your control over her sex and cum when you're ready after she's cum at least once, preferably twice. Faulkner was also based and had a cool mustache.

>In February 1985, Nabe appeared on the literary TV program Apostrophes to present his book. A heated debate occurred between Nabe and the other guests regarding some of Nabe's avowed and controversial literary influences, such as Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Léon Bloy, and Lucien Rebatet. Writer Morgan Sportès read out selected extracts of Nabe's book and accused him of being racist and antisemitic,[15] which led Nabe to assert that there was no reason for the Jews to escape his diatribe. Whilst on the topic, Nabe accused the French association LICRA of making profit by exploiting the horror of the Holocaust. After the show, anti-racist campaigner Georges-Marc Benamou burst in the studio and assaulted Nabe, punching him in the face.[1][16] The LICRA sued Nabe for defamation and incitement to ethnic or racial hatred, but the charges were dropped in 1989.

This is a falsity. Literature is included in life, it is a type of life. What counts as life anyway for these bugmen? Eating, shitting and sleeping?

No, this isn't life at all. What happens in 30 minutes of life can't possibly be captured into a 1000 paged novel. You can talk with your family on video call but that will never make up for sitting in front of them in real life. Emotions in literature are a shitty simulacrum of life.

It is. Literature happens within life, therefore, it's part of life. You can read books your entire life, or practice karate your entire life. Both are life, both are how you spent your time when you were alive.

Yes, but I was thinking more about tragedy, love, war etc. I mean no novel could depress me like when visit hospitals or graveyards. Real life always overwhelm us and it goes beyond language. I shouldn't have used "shitty simulacrum".

The 80s was pretty chill. Lots of cool stuff happened, like baseball and the real beginnings of TV shows as story mediums. But also a lot of kids got fucked and people got killed, and I think something happened with the Cold War and spies. Good music came out and it's still played 40 years later. Some argue the 80s was the greatest era for contemporary music that ever existed. Redpill me on tip whores.

If you're a fucking NPC and can't think beyond the specific words and phrases that you're currently reading, then yes.
Here's a good metaphor.
A synthesizer. It's off. You press a key. You might hear a very light sound of the actual key being depressed. The key being depressed is a word on a page. This is an NPC reading. Turn on the synthesizer. Play a song. The same key being depressed now plays a part in the expansive beautiful music. This is a non NPC reading. Something like that. Words on the page open up worlds in the mind.
