You guys are super cool and smart, haha, like definitely suuuper literary and cultured, it's super sick my dudes! it's so cool how you read all those books and stuff, haha, it makes you look super cool, keep it up. this is ironic or anything, by the way, I ain't "yankin your chain" or anything, so to speak, hahaha, just wanted to say you guys are super witty and super duper literary as all hell, it's super sick my dudes!

Thank you for this. I like what you mean that the people who seem so superior to me on this board aren't actually that great.

I kind of need to take a shit but I don't at the same time and I know that if I go and try it's going to be nothing but yankin on that chain with no gain, you get what I mean?

Thanks, OP!

Y-y-y-you too.

Not starting a new thread but because this one sucks let me ask you guys something I've been wondering recently:

Are you friendly with people IRL or misanthropic like y'all are on here? I always wonder about whether I'm in a place full of horrible losers or misunderstood lovers.

easy on the carrots, faggot

no one here who uses the word "brainlet" or "pleb" has read a book. ever. they likely have friends who also use those words and don't read books.

>misunderstood lovers.
Fag.

Are you trying to come onto me?

...

You should have said " Easy on the cocks, OP". And had your picture as fat bugs oh well too bad you didn't think a little bit harder to tribute our only good meme please if you read this brothers keep bugs strong he is our only hope for clinging to the edge of this precipitous abyss that pulls us away from eternity blindly tugging away at us and catches us unawares during life insurance advertisements on tv radio meant for your grandma but hits us at the very core reminding us at any pool of knowledge of memories of joy can keep us from this ever encroaching space between us and the unknown, I don't have bugs on my phone please someone post my pc is restarting I'm not even hard right now by the way

I'm pretty misanthropic and have been avoiding any attempts at love. Not a virgin but haven't had sex or even a kiss in years, originally due to abstinence but now I just don't know where to begin looking for love. I do think I'm capable of it and want it in my life though.

The maths guys will always win in this debate because they tend to have happier lives overall.
Plus or minus a few of our accomplished writers...

You should try Starbucks. Great place to find love, browse Veeky Forums, and get a coffee all in one go!

Actually, I'll offer some better advice: things get better if you're able to change your attitude. People on Veeky Forums like to pretend that being negative about the world is better because it's reflective of an intellectual position, but actually being able to see positive through the pain is a bigger, and arguably more profound, challenge. Finding meaning in a meaningless universe is your goal, and certainly something that the novelists Veeky Forums admires, and obviously existentialist philosophers, knew full fucking well.

God speed.

Any recs for novelists/novels dealing with modern existentialism?

Notes. From. Underground.

Kierkegaard's Leap of Faith tbqh

Just read to Erich Fromm

This reads like one of those shitty gangster popeye ripoff memes.
Is that you, Tina?

I don't know how I've never come across this guy before. He sounds fascinating.

>Automaton conformity displaces the burden of choice from self to society.

I was going to write a comment about how left-wing thinkers who advocate socialism misunderstand the role of autonomy in decision-making, looking for the state to provide answers while actively decreasing the freedom one has by default. It sounds like he discusses that more in reference to authoritarianism but I'm sure both are apt.

On that subject, I was reading Ludwig von Moses' essay 'Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth' the other day. It's a great rebuttal to socialist ideas.

Mises is a moron. The solution to 'socialism has some issues' is not 'monetize literally all human relationships'.

Okay I'm a brainlet. Fromm was clearly a socialist. I'll have to think on this further.

This thread sucks

Thank you for this.

you killed the thread you stupid faggot

sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

I personally am nice and try to be friendly, if I have a problem with a stranger I'll just try to ignore them, unless they are causing a scene.

I think its just a fun thing abou Veeky Forums. The vernacular and delivery/humor style is so purposefully edgey and aggressive that its kindnof cathartic.

No one actually means kill yourself when they say it, and fag/faggot has grown so stale as a word that it jus seems like everybodies way to say "you are obnoxious, I disagree with what you've said."

clearly

Knut Hamsun's Hunger.

I'm way too nice in real life, but I'm not sure if that's due to a love for my fellow man or because i'm an egoist who wants to be well-liked

Bump.

Thanks, I try.
