/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.Check the wiki, the catalog, and the archive before asking for advice or recommendations, and please refrain from starting new threads for questions that can be answered by a search engine./lit/ is a slow board! Please take the time to read what others have written, and try to make thoughtful, well-written posts of your own. Bump replies are not necessary.Looking for books online?

It's fucked up when you go to another part of the world and there's people there. Why are they there? Where did they come from? It's fucked up.

I lift to intimidate women like this and, if need be, physically dominate them into submission. Somebody has to do it, since most "men" are too impotent to do a goddamn thing when a woman steps out of line. Fuck, most men are too scared to even make eye contact with a woman. No wonder they're walking all over us.Example: women wear clothes in the gym or elsewhere in public to attract attention and show off their bodies and then shut men down when they give the attention. Most men play the game the way women want it to be played, the same way women want all their games to be played: with the woman coming out on top and the men losing. These same "men" think they win because they didn't get #MeToo'd by her because they were respectful and averted their eyes like good little cuckboys.I refuse to abide. I stare. I make faces of disgust at them. I approach them and make comments: respectful but firm. The look on their faces and in their eyes and body language is priceless. I humiliate them in public and it feels great. They simply do not expect to be called out on their shit in 2023, and I do it, and it blows their mind. This wasn't supposed to happen! All their slutty, tattooed, pierced, used-up whore girlfriends said they should do it and there were no consequences! Then she goes home and wallows in her humiliation for days, weeks, months even. I know first hand because I've dated many women. Boys fail to comprehend just how easily women are influenced and how insecure they are under their micrometer-thin bad-bitch facade.My muscular build gives credence to my disapproval, it helps ensure they know I mean business, and it also is a great asset when I'm dating a woman and she's out of line. Multiple women have, without fail, allowed me to slap them into submission when they get out of line and are manipulative, or dishonest, or otherwise unladylike. And most of these women have directly admitted it turns them on and they've gotten wet after I've hit them.Try it.

Help me /lit/, I'm starting to develop an anti-natalist stance, not in the hedonist>But muh free time>But muh traveling>But muh disposable incomemore in the Schopenhauerian sense of >Stop creating meat for the meat grinder, reject maya, embrace celibacythis, of course is merely the philosophical level. On a more personal one I've adopted a form of self imposed eugenics, even if I could find a gf (which I can not as a subhuman), the act of procreation on my end would be an act of child abuse. By choosing to have children I would, merely by this choice, be a horrible parent. I don't want to be this guy whoever. It's way too Rick and Morty for my taste. Convince me otherwise /lit/.
>>22538347You miss the point. The surgery in the analogy is done to confer a pure benefit. Nobody operates on a child except in cases where not operating will be a greater harm. Such as removing tumors or fixing broken bones etc. In cases where a child's body is violated for a pure benefit, society is generally disapproving. For example in the case of piercing a babies ears. And this is just in the case of a small needle prick. Yet in the case of procreation itself the harms are nowhere near comparable to a needle prick - they can be absolutely horrific, and everyone will die. It's makes no sense to condemn one but not the other.
>>22538364>Nobody operates on a child except in cases where not operating will be a greater harm.The problem with the analogy is that "greater harm" is such a relative term. Where does the line go between reducing harm and adding happiness? It's not intuitive.Whereas the difference between potentially creating suffering out of nothing is intuitively more problematic than abstaining from potentially creating happiness out of nothing.
>>22538309>That's why discussions with anti-natalists are pointless--theyre mentally ill rejects with personality disorders who have indoctrinated themselves into a simplistic cult as a cope for their defective worldview.Thanks for proving that point by admitting you're filtered by the others.

I love horror lit and dark academia low brow in October. In September, I mostly just gradually read more and more to prepare for spending all of my free time reading from October through January.

Why didn't King Arthur just have Merlin, Morgan, and Nimue all executed for the crime of witchcraft if he was a Christian king? Furthermore why didn't he have Lancelot and Genevieve executed for adultery? Are there any telling that are historically accurate and devoid of magical bullshit and if it does show up, it's just killed for wasting our time with its bullshit? Why did Gawain not just tell the guy to ask his wife to stop trying to seduce him? Because muh chivalry and lady honor? That's irrational, just tell her husband to make her stop. Bro Code trumps whore lies. Especially when doing so would have probably just proven to the Green Knight what Gawain's worth was or whatever fairy bullshit he was on about. God I want The Matter of Britian but void of all magic and every wizard is just a bishop and every witch is explicitly a mundane human woman and Genevieve has Lancelot hanged after his first advance

Susans sauce had become quite the sensation in Middlington-on-the-Quay, she prepared it by sealing the sauce into two large heavy jugs and tossing them all around in her living room. Many of the villagers enjoyed to see this being done first hand and eagerly crowded around the living room windows to watch Susan tossing her jugs. With all that being said, be me: the husband. I was well aware the villagers were a bunch of perverts and called out "saucy susan" and didn't mean it in the way my wife thought they meant it, and likewise when she was tossing her jugs it wasn't 'those' jugs they were coming to enjoy.I thought about opening fire on the crowd with my pigeon gun from the upstairs window but then a small crippled child tugged at my trouser leg and held out a crisp £1 note, asking if he could see the show. I knocked a tear from my eye, so moved was I by this, and then shut the curtains to the living room, demanding £10 per person to see the show. I sold admission on the understanding that they would make like they were interested in buying the sauce and that they would cheerfully be happy to be given a jar of the sauce for which they had paid in advance. And so that was that.All seemed well until my wife accidentally cracked Mrs Seacoombs across the jaw with a flying jug and then the whole sordid mess came out in court and my wife wept in the dock as they readied to send her to a lesbian prison for 24 hrs, and myself to an all gay prison for 37 yrs. I kissed my dog, Peaches, goodbye as they threw the sack upon my head and drove me by spear point all through the village and all through the briers until arriving at the prison cum dancing hall where I would be spending the remainder of my life. I soon learned to speak in a high pitched manner to blend in with the other homosexuals and found the whole situation altogether unpleasant.My wife, on the other hand, seemed unphased. She believed that the affair was a conspiracy to suppress the medicinal benefits of her special sauce, and when she was informed that water and mashed potatoes possessed no such benefits she became depressed. She wrote to me after the first twenty five minutes and declared that she was seeking a divorce because it was unfair for her to lose the better part of her youth in waiting for a hardened criminal such as myself. I wrote her back informing her that when I was released I was going to hit her with a belt and then we would go on a camping holiday to the Lake District in the North England where she would make me baked beans on a portable gas stove. I told her to hang onto this memory all throughout the long lonely years and never suckcum to temptation to take hold an aubergine and utilize it as a simulation of a manly appendage, and she wrote back swearing she would stand fast.
