Confess your sins Veeky Forums

I read mostly non-fiction. The only fiction I ever enjoyed was tied directly with history like War and Peace and the Odyssey.

But the Odyssey didn't happen t.b.h. desu

I'm literally baffled by anybody who can read philosophy and stay left-wing.

I have a dislike for any novel that has a teenager as its main protagonist, and I always root against him. Moby Dick, Infinite Jest, Catcher in the Rye, you name it... hate all of its protagonists

The only exception is, for some reason, Raskolnikov

I masturbate instead of seeking real relationship with women.

I make a living writing copy to make banks and giant corporations look like they give a shit about average people.

yeah if Aristotle and Plato were alive they would be laughing at leftist faggots calling them Fascists

you're both wrong, the Odyssey accurately chronicles real events.

honestly, what do they do, read every major philosopher and think wrong, problematic, wrong, problematic, wrong, until they get to the buzzfeed intellectual vanguard and say "Ah, I've made it!"

your image is hilarious b/c most catholic priests seem to be fat.

I'm too shit to write an actual story, so I'm just writing genre fiction right now. It's awful, and I can't even manage that much. I hate myself and want to die.

so philosophy turns you evil?

Do you not see the irony in your post?

"da democraps is da weal waycists"
t. Heraclitus of Ephesus

I have already samefagged in this thread

I listen to audiobooks

I own an ereader, but buy physical books because I'm a vapid consumerist whore

I tried getting into literature as far back as when I was 15. I'm 19 now and virtually zero progress has been made. Last book I read was a Calvino and I dropped it at the second to last chapter because I had no motivation to continue,

>There are no Left Wing philosophers
I'm literally baffled that someone can think himself smart while saying such stupid shit and I'm not even a leftist.
If Aristotle would have been alive today he would have been a huge stemfaggot.

I own an e-reader but buy physical books so people can admire my shelf because I'm narcissistic

I read your diary desu. I didn't know that was possible.

I can't get through a good book. I tell myself it's because I'm so busy in school, but if I really wanted to, I could make the time. I'm just being lazy. Every now and then I tell myself I'm gonna start reading the bible, the King James Version, and go to the Mater Dolorosa and convert to Catholicism but I never do.

I probably never will. Oh well.

You are a big guy father

>>There are no Left Wing philosophers
How in the actual fuck did you get that from

Wasn't he a law student drop-out?

Philosophy turned me from center left to radical leftism. Unironically.

His post is a post-postmodernist subversion of traditional notions of irony by applying irony with a twinge of sincerity to undermine the traditional response. In doing so, he curated your reply and created a piece of living artwork.

I sometimes read genre fiction, light novels, and manga. My usual diet makes me depressed and I’m already miserable enough without pouring more poison into the well nonstop.

Left wing philosophers read philosophy, evidently.

I skipped the second half of Lolita because it was all the same boring shit in circles. The first part was good. I have never skipped reading any other book before.

I am a pedophile.

>Moby Dick
Wait what, how old is Ishmael supposed to be?

Also isn't Raskolnikov 20-something?

All of the seven deadly sins, but like Christopher Hitchens I'll just convert on my death-bed

I suspect most of you are here feeding your pain because you enjoy the drama. Sickos.

Rebellion probably. Pride definitely.

I need help concentrating on reading. I try to read but I keep zoning out. (reading a boring textbook) How do I actually concentrate on the book?

Ahab was a teenager?

what kind of bait is this

I did not start with the Greeks

I wrote a Edgar Allen Poe fanfic where he fucks the dead body before he cuts it apart.

Pretty sure the whale was a teenager.

I use save states in emulated games.

I haven't been reading as much as I should.
I'm clinically depressed and reading is one if the few things that gives me hope.

I drink every day
I'm drunk right now.

Fuck.

No sins to confess. I did nothing wrong. pic related is me

I'm in a low carb diet and I just sniffed every single chocolate in my house as I dreamt of eating them.

I threatened a college that I got denied by with a school shooting.

I loved the Silverwing series. The Dead isn't my favorite Joyce story. I like Pale Fire better than Lolita.

I bought Leviathan, and only read sparknotes and watched School of Life for my political theory class

>I use save states in emulated games.

Throw yourself on your own sword.

i unironically defend JBP in the least autismo manner that i can

some bring some legit deb8 fire

most are just brainlet contrarian commies who can't handle truth or reality tho

Personally I found lolita to be a chore. I as well did not finish it.

TAKE IT BACK
TAKE IT BACK RIGHT FUCKING NOW YOU STUPID WHORE

>The Dead isn't my favorite Joyce story
Araby or Little Cloud huh

I'd bet a good sum of money you can't into poetry either

I'm a closet homosexual or at least bisexual, I have been fapping to furry porn since I was 14 years old. I have tried to so hard to stop jerking off to cartoon animals for so long but I have so much lust and so little self-control. Nobody knows this because I have done extremely well at keeping it a secret for so long, and I am too afraid to reveal my secret because of my hypocrisy and self-hatred and all the things I have said to keep them off-trail.

I am not as avid of a reader as I wish to appear to be. Continuously I posture and spout opinions despite my lack of true knowledge, I think this is due to my inherent self-consciousness and need for the attention my parents never gave me. I read occasionally but most of my literary knowledge comes from off-hand sources, most of the time when I try to read I can't keep focus and the book usually doesn't help my hollow restlessness.

I used to play videogames as my main hobby but I have either grown too old to genuinely enjoy them or the industry has changed so much that games aren't made for spergs like me. I have fallen back on literature because movies don't do much for me aesthetically unless they are something like tarkovsky or orson welles. I would much rather read because I sometimes derive satisfaction from forming my own visualizations.

I didn't enjoy the illiad that much and The Oddysey was great but really unwound towards the end, it drags for much too long. I constantly get attacked for having this opinion.

I genuinely think Joyce is perhaps the greatest novelist of all time but I am simultaneously afraid that I am a pretentious brainlet and only have that opinion because it's what I perceive as the proper one. I think I also look towards him as a rolemodel as someone who genuinely has unfolded some of the most difficult veils of life and elucidated them like nobody else.

I'm a genuine loser as well, I have kind of accepted my fate as a low class underling because I do not possess the drive or will to get ahead in life. I never went to college and I never applied myself in school due to pure ignorance and hatred towards my entire surroundings and myself.

I have considered suicide but not in a serious way because I am a fake pretentious retard, I know all of my self hatred is pointless and artificial yet I still commit acts of stupidity despite me knowing better on reflection.

I read this back in high school, and found it to be rambling at points.

Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I got too much to read as it is. Also the subject matter kind of grosses me out.

I was enrolled in a really prestigious and expensive "great books" program in my first year of university that was a survey of the western canon and great works of philosophy

I spent the entirety of the year on ecstasy and fucking my girlfriend and spending thousands of dollars at strip clubs on a trip to Montreal and skipping class and not doing readings and ignoring essentially everything academic going on in my life

I now have a box full of really challenging texts by Kant, Hobbes, Rousseau, Heidegger, etc. that I am ashamed to even look at because I have never read them and will never have the opportunity to study and understand them as fully as I did that year

I am now an avid academic and reader and whenever I hear these authors mentioned it makes me cringe with humiliation at my failings and with regret at the fact that I missed a shot at being a better, more aware person

I barely read anymore. I haven't even read Infinite Jest.

As a disciplined religious and spiritual person, I learned very quickly to act on my sexual impulses. But I'm getting into Freud and loving it. And I'm thinking "should I just let it go wild?". Of course I don't believe in casual sex, but maybe repression isn't the answer.

*to not act (Freudian slip?)

I've got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it
doesn't matter much to me
As long as she's spread
Sweet lovely death
I'm waiting for your breath
Come, sweet death
One last caress

>spent the entirety of the year on ecstasy and fucking my girlfriend

Sounds fun, what is your major?

Treasure Island?
Kidnapped?

Or was it yesterday?

postmodernism is hardly philosophy, user

Philosophy to English
u?

I can not stop judging people. I don't let it get in the way of me treating them as an individual but I still can't help but judge the faggots who look like degenerates or hoodlums as probably being degenerates or hoodlums. And how can I not? Our cities are the most disheveled they've ever been, and the per capita number of swaggyboi hoodrats running around is most probably the highest it's ever been. Correlation, causation, sure, but it's not like I can realistically expect that it was the white-collar guy to be responsible for the string of graffiti down stretches of residential alleyways.

Help.

I masturbate almost every day, despite going every sunday to church.

what's so wrong with fapping to cartoons? It's a hell of a lot more better than beating your meat to some chad convict fucking a homerun stacy with needlemarks.

also how do I get started with furry porn?

I like Stephen King

I'm a stupid fat fuck, and I like shit books.
I want to fucking kill myself.

>after you dread a graph try to recreat it in your mind, using as many words the author himself used. Ussually after that my interest spikes as I have a short term goal to see if I was right and how well I did rereading the parts where i struggled.

I don't read a lot.

I have autism and I'm stuck in routines and whilst I normally enjoy it I feel sick and I'm having to ruin it. Help.

"Climate change isn't real lmao"

I wrote an affirmative action essay for the sjw's in my class so the chads would stop bullying me desu

I read fantasy.

Because my idealism vs my instincts and sub-conscious form too many contradictions from each other, and I think the best way to live is to live as an example of your ideal. One of my ideals forms around the concept of accepting and dealing with your current situational reality instead of being lured towards escapism and nostalgia which are only temporary remedies to a problem. I think a large part of my sexual attraction to these cartoon figures is my inability to deal with my own place in humanity as a human being and also my disgust towards fellow human beings due to my cynicism. Fapping to furry porn and creating these fantasies in my head only shovels me further down and away from the clarity I need to change myself to a better ideal. The funny thing is I say all of this like it's so easy, I have the knowledge and self-awareness of my fundamental problems but I lack the will to do anything about them, my own inhibitions and addictions take over my rationality and I feel worse about it every day.

>being wrong

underrated

I pretend to try to motivate a bunch of suicidal neets online but in truth I only do it because the act of preaching motivation is a great way to motivate yourself

I'm taking hormones

If I knew how hard it is to lose ten pounds, I wouldn't have bothered. Now what?

I'm not an intellectual

I read books that I find interesting or sounds interesting

I don't like Anglo literature

I'm kinda slow reader, but somehow can power through a book or two If I tried

I did not start with the Greeks
I did not read any Ancient Literature till Beowulf.

I just jacked off to a fantasy of fucking my 40 year old female boss. She's so nice to me, but all I'll ever be is a goddamn pseud sperg.

8/10, would've been 9/10 but you didn't clarify what the "traditional response" was referring to. Now I'm just confused.
