@annakhachiyan what is the larger purpose of this conversation just asking

It’s not hoeing though. Hoeing is Lindy. Everyone loves a slut. This is something much worse. It combines instant gratification with risk aversion.
Coldman@RevColdman
Incentives and tradeoffs. The physical and social cost of hoeing around used to significantly outweigh its benefits. Now it's the other way around.

I’m gonna say something actually harsh and cruel for a change: if you really love your man why do you need random disappointing strangers on the internet to think you’re hot? And what does this say about your love for him and/or ability to love in general and/or understanding of what love is?

17yo Chateaubriand gets pressed against a pretty married woman and falls into complete delirium for 2 years : invents an imaginary one from paintings and village girls, imagines traveling with her to ruins of Venice, Rome, Athens, talks to her constantly, stops functioning...

The homogenisation of ”literary fiction” has been going on for decades. The very fact it has a genre label now tells you a great deal. As with other genres, you have a definite idea of the tropes you can expect. And as for the politics, there are no surprises to be had there.
If AI is now writing those novels it’s not a massive departure from what has long been happening.

Greatest part about this montage is that Ryan O'Neal wrote, composed, AND performed this song for BARRY LYNDON.
He never produced another hit single for the rest of his life.

This is the sort of reply one expects from a mind sealed inside the narrow chapel of its own resentments.
Nietzsche and Catholicism are opposed at the level of doctrine, yes, but that does not mean a serious Catholic cannot read Nietzsche, learn from him, or recognize the force of his critique of modernity. I am not speaking solely of Jünger here, but of the spiritually exhausted & decadent age we inhabit, where ressentiment hardens weakness into morality and the herd learns to call its own decline truth.
Conversion to Catholicism is not a renunciation of every hard truth Nietzsche saw. It is a rejection of what Nietzsche offered as the ultimate answer.
I would leave you with Maude Petre’s “Nietzsche and Christianity,” written by a Catholic nun in an age when people were more intelligent, more serious, and less terrified of difficult minds.

@rightwingnutrs The greatest trick the Israelis pulled was convincing the world hummus and falafel were invented by them. Up there with Austrians say Mozart was a local and Hitler a German

If I had given a pop quiz during my days as a teacher I would have had half the kids in full mutiny ready to have parents call up the dean to get me fired and the other half of them not doing that because they were having a panic attack.
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
The teacher announcing "pop quiz!" and everybody groaning. Feels like you don't see it as much these days?

My favorite high school English teacher continues to influence me. I had read Dubliners and Portrait, as well as the complete works of Shakespeare under his instruction. But he wouldn’t let me read Ulysses because I wasn’t ready. On graduation day, he gave me a copy of Ulysses.

Had a high school English teacher stop in today and buy a paperback novel (Joyce, Alcott, Jack London, Austen, Hemingway, lots of Dickens) for each of her students who is graduating this year 🥹

If they were serious, they would say he's going to be an hvac tech, but nobody wants to sell that story other than telling every smart young man to be one

Lmao pure libslop. What about a non brilliant 14-year-old in West Virginia? Wrong question. Who cares about some little hicklet. He wouldn’t even exist if his mom didn’t have a meth induced birth control failure. Etc. When you hear that line—hear this line. It’s the same line

My moots love to pick apart Yarvin's cheesy arguments, and that's fine. I have the smartest moots, as you know.
But I'm just here for Curtis. The guy. His life. The tone of his posts, more than the content. "The vibe," I guess.
