>that cringe period of your life where you listened to narrated creepypastas by Youtubers like Dr. Creepen, creepsmcpasta, etc
After a while you noticed the same cliches playing out like the new guy at this weird job that pays ludicrously well but comes with ridiculously specific instructions on what not to do and they always end up fucking it up.
Also the music is really effective until you realize that EVERYONE uses the exact same 4-5 songs on every video.

Person A reads a lot of 'heavy' books.
People think he's a retard every time he opens his mouth

Person B reads nothing/crap books.
People think he's a genius when he speaks and have grown fond of him by the end of the interaction

Why does this happen?

>The Cremator (Czech: Spalovač mrtvol) is a 1969 Czechoslovak dark comedy film directed by Juraj Herz, based on a novel by Ladislav Fuks. The screenplay was written by Herz and Fuks. The film was selected as the Czechoslovakian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 42nd Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee. In 1972, it won the Festival de Cine de Sitges Best Film award, where it also received awards for its star Rudolf Hrušínský and cinematographer Stanislav Milota.
>The story is set in 1930s Prague, where the cremator Karel Kopfrkingl lives and works. Kopfrkingl slowly devolves from an odd but relatively well-meaning cremator of the dead into a murderer of his family and mass murderer who runs the ovens at extermination camps due to the influence of the Nazi party and Tibetan Buddhism, as he believes his murders are "liberating" the souls of the diseased into a better life. The film is mostly made up of monologues from Kopfrkingl that follow his descent into madness. Influenced by German Expressionist film, it is often cited as an example of the Czechoslovak New Wave. The film was withdrawn from circulation in 1973 and not seen again until 1990, after the collapse of the communist system in Czechoslovakia in 1989.
>With a 90.2% score on the Czech and Slovak Movie Database as well as praise from movie critics, The Cremator is often considered to be one of the best movies ever made in Czechoslovakia. It has also gathered a prominent cult following.
Sounds like commie kino. Will add to my list.

So we all agree crypto is a scam right?
I watched hat Bitcoin documentary and it’s really good at selling you the idea of cryptocurrencies because you don’t need third parties when making transactions but these are literally just bits of data on a server. They’re not real, vulnerable to getting stolen and ultimately you won’t be able to turn them into real money because no governmental entity is going to back your currency that exists outside the system.
Also these ads for babyshark tokens, dogecoin, etc are literal memes.

Gonna drop a redpill here: 99% of posts on /lit/ are simply not worth reading. What gets posted here are the trite and inane thoughts of pseuds who suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Nicholas Carr in The Shallows explained that the Internet has changed the brains of Zoomers like me (23) so that we can immediately filter relevant from irrelevant information. What this means is that we have the ability to size up if a unit of information is worth reading or not just by looking at it for a few seconds, it’s an automatic process and second nature for a generation raised on the internet.
I took one look at that tl;dr and knew it wasn’t worth my time. Such is the way of discourse in the digital age.
You may safely ignore this post.

Why do men think whatever women write about in their book, it comes from their secret fantasy?

*woman writes a rape scene*
SHE WANTS TO BE RAPED

Are men who write pedophilic and murder scenes all pedophiles and serials killers?

I recently started reading classics. Does it happen to you that when you read old literature, as in literature before 20th century, you have a badgering fear within you that you may start speaking, thinking and acting like a boomer/insufferable intellectual?

Why do white men write diversely but speak in the same mold? I can read white men's writing all day but I can't stand to hear them. They all have the same style of speaking and wording sentences. How come?

The more I read philosophy, the more it surprises me. What's the motivation of philosophers for all these hard work? I can only imagine how much they had to squeeze their brain to map out ideas as complex as these. For what? Obviously not recognition or money. Then?

So what'd the final verdict on sex? Should it be regularly had by someone pursuing literary greatness, or should there be complete celibacy? It's a grey area because both type of good writers existed, celibates and chad impregnators. Maybe the actual correct answer is, ''it doesn't matter''?

It's kinda infuriating that God didn't give a clear cut indication of which religion is correct. What was God's motive for this?
