Which city of the world do you consider as the bohemian/creative capital similar to Paris between 1870-1960? (pic unrelated)
>>7479452
Portland
>>7479452
it's the internet age, that doesn't exist anymore
by the way, it was without a doubt new york after 1945, not paris
>>7479452
You should try Phnom Penh
>could care less
saying could care less is perfectly fine tbqh
most of the time you probably could care less
>>7479343
You listen here you dumb shit
That phrase is used to explain that you don't care about something. If you "could" care less, it means your value on the care-o-meter is greater than 0, which implies you DO care.
How the fuck has the vast majority of people completely forgotten about 1st grade grammar?
>>7479349
you obviously care enough to feel compelled to assert how much you care.
where do I start with this beautiful faggot?

whenever I see this pic I think what a totally self absorbed deranged lunatic he was.
Sailor who fell from grace with the sea

Hi /lit/. I work in the lobby at a hotel. I take care of little nuisances experienced by the clientele. There is this female who has been living here for 3 months. She has just flown in from Spain. I saw her reading a book in her native tongue. I have not met her yet butI hope to catch her attention. I want to leave a note in the chair that she tends to sit in. I will transcribe "Cuerpo de Mujer" by Pablo Neruda on to it and then sign my name. I hope to catch her attention with this. What I am asking is whether the Spanish or English version is better. (Which one would...

Spanish, you dunce.

Yes, but is this poem good? I don't know her and I think this would be a romantic way to become acquainted.
>>7477506
If you don't understand the poem don't give it to her. What if she does know it and tries to discuss it with you? You'll look like an idiot. Just talk to her like a normal person.
Why don't philosophers just tell us what the meaning of life is? What's the best thing to pursue? Instead they spent all their time battling stupid dualisms or semantic games...
Kunt, Neetshit, Hidenigger, Plado, Keekygard didn't help us at all. They wrote tons of shit and didn't even solve the problem
What's the final solution??
Death

no meaning to life. there is nothing worth pursuing. do not reproduce. die young.

What does /lit/ think of Bret Easton Ellis?
He's a fucking faggot and a kike lover

Inferior to DeLillo and Wallace in every manner conceivable. Also, homosexual.
Hey /lit/! My friend has started getting very interested in Steven Molyneux, and he is constantly linking me videos, and talking about how much he agrees with everything he says.
I think he is going a little bit over the top in his obsession. Every time we go anywhere, he tells everyone about Steven Molyneux and how everything his says is right and very interested etc.
I read a few nights ago that FDR is kind of like a cult, and Molyneux is a weirdo who no one should listen to? If it's true that Molyneux is a weirdo, how can I convince my friend to no agree with him?
bunp
Redirect him to testimonies from people he "defooed"
>I read a few nights ago that FDR is kind of like a cult, and Molyneux is a weirdo who no one should listen to?
An understatement. The guy is hysterical, frantic, generally turbo-batshit.
>If it's true that Molyneux is a weirdo, how can I convince my friend to no agree with him?
I'm too autistic to help. I don't feel like he would even entertain a principled critique. Go dig up Molyneux's mad ramblings about how much he hates his mother. He uploaded the video, then took it down,...

The soldiers? My impression is that most soldiers do not hold the same believes as the generals they take orders from. Not the case with the anarchists though.
>>They fight with less food and equipment than the anarchist militias
I understand how this makes you feel sympathetic towards them. Surely it doesn't validate the ideology they are fighting for.

/lit/, I am going through a nihilist phase I am actually wishing to overcome it. What are recommended readings?
KJV

just be a fucking person and stop being a drama queen. Of course life has no meaning and neither does anything else that we do to fill it up. It doesn't mean that things can't be valuable, have meaning, or be beautiful though. See: The Bible
Anybody else here read this? I'm in love with it right now, there's something about it that speaks to me more than Homer.
Also what's with Germanic poets becoming anonymous (thinking about this guy and whoever told Beowulf)
thought it was a dumb manchild story tbqh

It's a great book. Hagen was a real asshole.
