Reading the Iliad on a bus

It's worse than that. They don't do it cynically. They actually think that their version of "enjoying things" (lazily half-engaging with them, for social status and to pose for Instagram seflies) is identical with true enjoyment. They think that what they are doing is what men are doing as well.

They are trapped within minds that were never meant to attain sentience. A woman makes a wonderful dog but a terrible human.

Make sure never to have sex, but just listen to music in a dark room

Yeah, you can't truly enjoy a work until you've shitposted about it on Veeky Forums

noticeably bitter, angry women

way to defy the stereotypes ladies

>no. i'm not poor so i don't use the bus
Does your country not have private bus lines that go from one city to another?

Why are you quoting me? I'm just paraphrasing ol' schoppy like a good misogynist

>Does your country not have private bus lines that go from one city to another?
Why would you use them, unless you're poor?

>you have to be a woman to think that this kind of cartoonish sexism is anything but pathetic

Yes, we get it. You like to pretend to be old money online in order to make up for your lack of real achievement

I don't mean to say I'm wealthy. I just don't get why you would use a bus unless you were genuinely poor. The middle class all have cars for a reason.

I'm not sexist. I feel really, really bad for women. I wish what I'm saying weren't true.

>implying most men aren't like this as well
>implying no female human has ever been an outsider to society

pic related, it's you

If you make decisions using these beliefs as a foundation, you are the definition of a sexist.

>pic related, it's you

I would sleep well at night knowing my son wouldn't have his time and money predated through beta-orbiting or, worse than that, a blackmailing girlfriend or a marriage and inevitable divorce.

This is one of several reasons why you don't get any pussy, user.

Elliot was full of anger. I am not angry. I would save women from their fate if I could. But nothing I can do will ever fix pic related.

Genius just isn't in the cards for women. They tend toward average, and on top of that they are docile, and the social structure reinforces both of these things. A single woman becoming truly accomplished is as rare as the appearance of a male Einstein. Female "goodness" is rarer than male greatness.

Post more feet

>not angry
oo sheeit nigga have ya even read your own post?

Nature is sexist.
80% of men don't reproduce, only the ones that got lucky in genetic lottery do. Meanwhile women don't play this lottery and are shallow as a puddle. There is no need for them to be anything better, 60% of them reproduce. Boohoo.

Where are you getting these numbers?

I have been posting factual misogyny on the Internet for fourteen years. The last time I made a mistake and got mad was eleven years ago.

I only summon up phantoms of plausible misogynistic personalities in order to maximize the number of butthurt responses from women.

A study of mitochondrial DNA. Technically what he's saying is only true of prehistoric DNA, but on average, in any given generation, 40% of men reproduced and 80% of women did, for hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.

>I don't mean to say I'm wealthy
How about you don't say anything at all

>I've been misapplying statistics to explain why no one like me for 14 years
Well, at least you're practiced, I suppose

>pussy (derogatory, sexually-objectifying word for the female genitalia)[1] is something to "get" (to acquire, to possess - female genitalia is here like property or an object you consume for your own sake)

yeah no

My classes are in the afternoon, which means that there are never any spots left in any of the parking lots, so I opt for the bus instead. It's a lot more convenient than wasting a good half hour roaming the lots for empty spaces.

Plus, my college gives us unlimited free rides, even for the rapid transit buses. I have all to gain but nothing to lose.

This argument works best when you don't have any idea of the scale of the human population. How many standard deviations out do we have to go to reach "great"? At 3, you still have 100 million women

>summon up phantoms
>look at my purple prose I am so very intelligent
>it was merely a ruse to get responses lole
someone's mad about not getting any bobs and vagene, is it just that you have autism or are you also ugly?

>40% of men reproduced and 80% of women did
Whoops, I got the numbers slightly off. Thanks for the correction

The better correction was the context of timeframe. Pretending that those numbers are modern is ridiculous.

Ill be proud

ITT: virgins who can't get pussy

Yeah, the context is important. However, I do believe they wouldn't be too far off in recent years, with the shrinking population growth and culture of sleeping around until your 30s. Hypergamy has made society animalized again.
Arranged/forced monogamous marriages are what allowed a percentage of men to reproduce.

I've already debunked appeal to virginity see

Yeah, it sure would be a shame if you bothered to look up modern info and see that 80% of men reproduce. It always feels so bad to have preconceived notions proven wrong.

No thanks.

I like this post, mind if I save it?

Source?

serious question for any actual women in the thread..

how immediate is it for you to shame a man for being a virgin if he disapproves of women? i wonder if anyone has written an anthropology of this, its encoded patriarchy

No, I won't share it. I'm not interested in having an evidence war. I also don't really care if you stay wrong, it's genuinely ridiculous that you thought you could apply data from early humanity to today's population.

I'm not going to reply further after you post evidence.

The Iliad is literally a YA book. Most people read that shit in high school, bitch. That girl on the bus probably already read it in Latin class or whatever like I did and was reading something light and mindless for her commute to work where she's probably more successful and harder working than you are. If you're gonna act all high and mighty pick something actually highbrow.

>on bus
>dual-reading Finnegans Wake and Glas
>person next to me has a tutor walking them through reading a Twitter post consisting entirely of emojis
>stuck on a hippo
>clasp the phone they're reading on within the pages of Finnegans Wake and say "Hungread Hungread Hippocrates"
>riverrun away

That is a description of a circumstance, not a feeling. Are you sure you're up to the Iliad?

you mean like greyhound or national express or whatever? well yeah. i used them a lot when i was a student. now i'm reasonably well off, i have a car. i use the train for my daily commute because i'm not daft enough to drive into central london.

ok

>greatest post ever made on Veeky Forums
>also gets quads
pls user i want to suck ur pepis for making my week like this

>I have a car
>Look at this rich faggot over here

you're a college student and you still don't get laid?
wow times really have changed

>wow you made fun of am imaginary person using a quote from page one of a novel that looks intelligent! And there were random numbers involved!
>made my week
I feel bad for you, user.

the post was funnie lad

Lmao.

Tfw when thats my life

>The reason I'm a virgin is because I don't want to get accused of rape and I'm smarter than every woman on campus.

Wow! The Iliad!? I bet she was embarrassed that she isn't a brilliant hyper-intellectual like yourself!

How's your first week on Veeky Forums going?

You just gobbled up that bait didn't you

>"evidence war"

>Reading the Iliad in Greek on a bus
>some guys is reading the penguin classic English edition which he clearly just bought, but cannot seem to focus for much longer than half a minute on his book before compulsively taking out his phone, then mumbling and giggling to himself while staring at some girl
Anyone know this feeling?

Whats the joke of this image? Doesn't Nietzsche say truth is subjective? Is that the joke?

In my first year of high school I was the only kid who read a book for fun in my whole class except some girls reading fifty shades of gray

I was reading on a bench recently and some niggers walked by and said 'hey man, nice BOOK!!' and I said 'Thanks'

checked

>Be reading D.F. Wallace, classic author, on bus
>spot two guys reading The Iliad, pleb-tier proto-shounen-shit drek that people call "deep" because a blind homosexual wrote it
>spray water on random passengers
>get kicked off, bandana in shreds

Countries that are small don't really need cars and even huge countries with good infrastructure don't really need many cars.

To be fair it's not an invalid concern, especially in a university.

>no. i'm not poor so i don't use the bus

>he could sit in a giant car driven by someone else, put some earplugs on and read for the entire commute
>instead he chooses to drive the car by himself, which is inherently more dangerous and precludes you from reading

Get it right. You read the Illiad and that garbage because it's required. We all know D. Klebold and E. Harris are the real writers and visionaries of our time. I was once reading some of their work and this shy white kid came up and said, "great story."

It doesn't matter because society is becoming tribal again. North America is going to be drowned in a tide of incel hyperviolence.

good laugh this one

You and I have had the exact same feeling today but unlike you I have (finally) finished the book.

>reading the Illiad on the bus
You're the philistine retard here because I bet you weren't reading out loud as you're supposed to do when reading verse.
Or maybe you were reading a prose translation which would then be downright laughable.

>sexism
spooky

>It doesn't matter because society is becoming tribal again.
That's just an excuse to hold batshit tribal beliefs while trying to still look intellectual in the slightest.

Bad thread OP

>when you finally see that one person reading something patrician

How could you properly appreciate a great work such as the Iliad in an environment as uncomfortable as a bus?

No, its empirically happening. Haven't you been paying attention?

The joke is she clearly doesn't know what she's talking about and just namedrops an author to shame her opponent for having the wrong political beliefs.

It's an example of misappropriation at its finest.

Buses take at least twice as long to get anywhere as cars. In my city there aren't enough buses so you're lucky to get a seat.

There's nothing more depressing than watching a huge line of people standing under a downpour waiting for their chance to board a crowded, stinking, bus.

Prove it

>I'm not retarded guys I was just trolling lol got you

Not him, but you first.
Start here Then show how post sexual revolution society isn't like pic related describes

I read manga on the bus and give zero fucks. Maybe you need to lighten up, OP.

ITT: Angry virgin losers trying to one-up each other with their 'superior Intelligence' and their underlying hatred of females which most likely stems from years of being ignored and rejected by every women they have ever met including their own mothers.
