Thread 82289868

I was thinking, what if we decide to band together and beat our evil overlords by unretarding ourselves, giving ourselves a tiny bit of purpose and something to look forward to?

This is why I propose Project: SBR (not to be confused with Steel Ball Run) -- the concept is shrimple:
We read one book a month and come back to talk about it at set date and maybe with some heckin memes and the like. Or maybe a few chapters a week to start off with.

>B-But I can't snee- read! I just can't concentrate and words hurt my brainerino!
Fret not, the first few books would be pretty short and with audiobooks. Not wanting to miss the monthly thread would be a big motivational factor too. Think of it like a deadline in school; you HAVE to do it (after all you had an ENTIRE month!).

>I don't trust your tastes! I bet your books suck!
That's why we'll have votes!

>Okay but what's the end game?
The end game is for you to be able to read long books, to be more knowledgeable and a better rhetorician. That way, you get yourself a huge boost in confidence, and appear generally much more interesting to others. You'll also be more motivated to do things that take time in general, and you'll be much more likely to disconnect from the internet. And maybe you'll even write your very own story! Imagine writing the story of a hecking mango that gets adapted into anime like these Chinese, Korean and French ones? And you'll be better at it because you actually read books!

Anyway, thoughts on this idea? Should I just kill myself instead?

>>82289868 (OP)
>Projet:
hmmm

>>82289868 (OP)
You propose this project and have no sort of means for communication? YOU FOOL. You have dismayed me. Establish a way of communication immediately or consideration is DASHED!

>>82289887
Yes. This is specifically to avoid these things.

>>82289906
Well I was thinking of meeting back here, on the channerino, like the avengers

>>82289868 (OP)
>Projet:
I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop you for an IQ check, sir/madam.

>>82290061
I propose doing so after we've all read enough bookerinos before being diagnosed as a retard by a fellow retard

>>82289868 (OP)
story books? why not pick up a useful textbook and learn something?

about to start going through this, you can pirate the book or buy used physical book for $5, the education version of the software is free, and the necessary files for the exercises in the book are free

>>82290180
Because textbooks seem even more boring to most people. While story books aren't only about learning, you can just enjoy them as you would any other kind of hobby, and you'd still come out less retarded. Textbooks are solely for the people who want to knowledgemaxx. Also story books are, I would assume, generally better written which would greatly help in being a better orator (useful for robots)

>>82289868 (OP)
I propose "how to read a book" as the first book.

I like this idea a lot

>>82290244
Sure, if I people actually like this idea and I start doing these I'll put it on the poll. I'll give an into to each book too I guess, from what people have been saying online and just generally the synopsis

>>82290250
Great! Hopefully others do too

>>82289868 (OP)
I'd participate in an /r9k/ book club.

>>82290661
Okay kino. I'll see if others are interested too. Maybe I should make the thread again sometime soon and put a poll to see how many would vote for "yes it's a good idea no suicide isn't the option"

>>82289868 (OP)
Intepedasing. Do you guys like Dick, as in P.K.D.? I think we should read Valis together.

>>82290739
Okay sure. I'll add it to the list of things to add to the poll

first good idea I've seen on this board in a long time. please do it OP

>>82289868 (OP)
Can it be retards only? I don't want the smart book people coming in to make fun of us

>>82290244
I read it and its definitely not worth reading to learn how to read fiction. There's only one chapter on fiction and it literally says just "feel really hard". It's helpful to learn to read dense non fiction like philosophy better though

>>82290840
Very well, I'll wait for something IRL to clear up then I'll try to shill it to drum up interest and do a poll or two

>>82290854
Nobody on /r9k/ is a smartie don't worry

>>82290871
How do we "unretard ourselves" by reading fiction?

>>82290963
nta but it helps with vocabulary, grammar and concentration. I would assume it's easier to get into non-fiction if you actually KNOW how to read (most people are actually illiterate). You also don't have to worry about information retention. Also a lot of fiction has some sort of underlying message that gives much needed food for thoughts for people who don't think much

>>82290811
Cool. I've got another one which is an easy read and got a recommendation by John Carmack. It's "Theft of fire" by Devon Eriksen. Hard SciFi that is very accessible and there are a few free chapters to read on the authors website.

>>82289868 (OP)
good idea. should add "hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" to the list - it's a short and easy read.

>>82291078
>>82291146
Okay thanks, I'll add them. I think I'll do a thread at some point where I put all of these and more in a single poll, and then take the top 3 and do another to see who wins. Or maybe just one poll where you can choose 3 different ones so there's more chance that the winner doesn't only get like 2 votes

I may be a retard but some of the vocabulary used here is very sus. Oh so sus.
But anyways, I like the idea of this secret bookclub of retards.

>>82289868 (OP)
>trying to start a monthly book club on r9k
hot damn thats unironically precious

>>82291201
I am not sus. You may be a rare schizoretard. But it's good you like, all retards welcomed

>>82291236
We will take over the world with our knowledge and kill all our enemies

ive tried making groups with r9k in the past, 95% of robots cant commit and then the other 5% gets discouraged and then the group dies

>>82291463
You basically have to keep posting everyday, treat it like a personal blog, and hope people catch on. Most people aren't going to stick around for more than a thread or two, but if you keep posting you'll get one or two anons who will blogpost with you regularly. The strategy is to Stockholm syndrome anons into thinking your thread is a regular part of board culture.

>>82289868 (OP)
I'm reading 1984 right now

>>82291463
>>82291499
I will take this into account. Maybe make some stupid threads in-between the generals and ask if anons are advancing well at the end of it so people ask what SBR is more often. It it fails then so be it.

>>82291529
Hey! No cheating! But I guess it's too long of a book for a first thread about it. Hope you're enjoying it tough. Keep reading books and you'll be the smartest retard in the world

>>82289868 (OP)
>Words words words
Just say you wanted to start a book club
>>82291463
If nobody else does then I will be the single other person participating

>>82291583
>Just say you wanted to start a book club
It wouldn't have the same gravitas. Now it's more than a book club, it's an event.
Also kino, glad you like the idea

>>82289868 (OP)
That's a lot of words for "let's make a book club", anon. And reading books wil not unretard most of the retards here, it'll just give them more words to be retarded with. No matter how you reset their short attention span, they will still be retards, albeit learned retards; which are more insufferable than uneducated retards imo. All in all it's a very ambitious project, considering the human material available on this board. Goodluck, I guess.
t. A retard that reads books

we should start with this

>>82291631
Well if all else fails it'll make them feel more confident and better about themselves. Which is definitely better than having them feel like crap 24/7. At least they'd have something to brag about, even if it makes them a bit more annoying.

>>82291638
Yes and end with this too. Nobody'll come back

I'll read anything non fiction.

>>82291664
I guess I'll add non-fiction too then. It'll just have to win the poll.

>>82291146
>and easy read
Not OP. I read all 5 books and there are times where you get completly lost in Adam's whimsy and can't follow his train of thought and go "alright Mr. Author, good jokes" and move on.

>>82291499
i already did that but it was just for hanging out, not for actually reading a book

I'm getting into math and it would be cool to have a math club with robots. but it would be hard to find them who are doing the same math as me at the same time

>>82291825
Well you can always plan out what you'll study with them in advance

>>82291662
>it'll make them feel more confident and better about themselves
I guess it's worth a try, though are you sure books work that way? Also, the last thing you want is a confident retard, as I said.
>Which is definitely better than having them feel like crap 24/7
If you feel like crap 24/7, books will not fix that; maybe therapy or anti-depressents will. I mean, you might improve their life quality a *little* bit, but at what cost? A band of vocabulary-wielding retards will be obnoxious to deal with, as I said.
>At least they'd have something to brag about, even if it makes them a bit more annoying
If this project will work out well, you're going to unleash hell upon this board. People who think they're better than you cause they read books are the worst, especially if they're obviously retarded; As I said.
Again, very ambitious, if naive, project.
But idk, maybe I'm just a pessimist and it'll work out fine. I read books and they're good to pass the time with, and improved my vocabulary, attention span, conceptualization and are good for escapism (but didn't give me more overall confidence or fixed my suffering or retardation). There are worse ideas, I suppose.

>>82292059
>I guess it's worth a try, though are you sure books work that way? Also, the last thing you want is a confident retard, as I said.
Well they either read books and feel like they're being mildly productive with their time or just
>wake up
>browse 4chan
>maybe play a bit of vidyas
>go to sleep
So it can only be positive for their personal mental development. And if it isn't, it'll at least help them broaden their horizons.

>If you feel like crap 24/7, books will not fix that; maybe therapy or anti-depressents will. I mean, you might improve their life quality a *little* bit, but at what cost? A band of vocabulary-wielding retards will be obnoxious to deal with, as I said.
>If this project will work out well, you're going to unleash hell upon this board. People who think they're better than you cause they read books are the worst, especially if they're obviously retarded; As I said
Sure, that's a possibility, but this board already sucks ass. It's already just ragebait general. I don't think It'll make that much of an impact. I still remember jannies deleting Christmas threads. The board is capital A Ass

>Again, very ambitious, if naive, project.
Not really that ambitious. I'm just throwing shit at a wall. I fully expect it to be a giant failure. It's just that this board is so bad that somebody needs to try and make it feel a bit more like a community. One robot at a time, maybe we can make a change in the long run. IF people try...

>I read books and they're good to pass the time with, and improved my vocabulary, attention span, conceptualization and are good for escapism
Well that'd be a positive change to happen for robots.
I don't think books should be gatekept because some retardos might get too cocky. The people who rule clearly want us to read as little as possible, and spend more and more time with short term content, so going against the grain is the way to go, I think.
Either way this is just a stupid idea that maybe will go nowhere

>>82289868 (OP)
Nice idea OP, you sound fun and you seem to care about helping others here and improving the quality of the posts indirectly. I am a pseud but would love to partake in such activities.

>>82292059
I don't think it's that deep, worst case they'll just leave the board and find other purposes.

>>82292203
Great! Hope you'll enjoy it then and hopefully in doesn't die the very first thread in a very awkward manner. Maybe I should prepapre some contents. Like rankings after 2 books have been read forward or some shite like that. I shall see

>>82292155
>feel like they're being mildly productive with their time
Fiction books are as much as an escape as vidya and 4chan are. Consuming media doesn't make you feel productive, in my experience.
>it'll at least help them broaden their horizons
Alright, fair enough, that's a positive thing. But the name of this project is SBR, how would it achieve that?
>I don't think It'll make that much of an impact
Well, if your expectations are that low... I can't argue.
>Not really that ambitious
The name and goal are ambitious imo.
>I fully expect it to be a giant failure
I can't argue with that.
>somebody needs to try and make it feel a bit more like a community. One robot at a time
Don't get me wrong, I think you are acting in good faith, and good on you for taking initiative; and I'm all for hope. It's the name of the project that I have a bit of an issue with.
>Well that'd be a positive change to happen for robots
I did say you might change their life quality a little bit. But it won't unretard them.
>I don't think books should be gatekept because some retardos might get too cocky
Not at all, it'll just be another thing to deal with on this board, is all. That is, if it goes well.
>Either way this is just a stupid idea that maybe will go nowhere
I don't take a random 4chan thread too seriously, either (I just over analyze things and blogpost about it), but you are proposing something that relies on a lot of hope (which again, I'm all for) that may be false, is all.
In summery, goodluck but don't count on it (which seems to be your outlook already).

>>82292203
>I don't think it's that deep
I just like to over analyze things.
>worst case they'll just leave the board and find other purposes
That's wishful thinking, but sure, if they get to that point.

>>82292501
Well I chose the title because I thought that improving their vocabulary and attention span (among other things) would bring them closer to humanity. I didn't think they'd turn into geniuses but it's a nice first step. If they stuck with it and started reading other books on the side because they discovered that they might enjoy reading then there's a chance they'd actually end up very knowledgeable on a lot of things (especially by branching from fiction, to reading a lot of non-fiction).

Also the title is much better than "r9k book club". It feels more important and gives them a reason to actually try reading a book instead of just being like
>r9k book club? Well I don't read books, so let's NOT check the thread

>In summery, goodluck but don't count on it (which seems to be your outlook already)
Thank you, and yes I think the same way. I generally have a pessimistic outlook so I'm never disappointed

let's read stoner since that's the book i just recently started.

>>82292745
Sorry Hamlet Apu anon, but we live in a democracy. I shall add it to the list of what people will vote for. You can do your homeworks in advance in case it wins this poll or the next thoughever

>>82292648
>I thought that improving their vocabulary and attention span (among other things) would bring them closer to humanity
It won't.
>end up very knowledgeable on a lot of things (especially by branching from fiction, to reading a lot of non-fiction)
More knowledgable, maybe. Pivoting to non-fiction is a stretch.
>Also the title is much better than "r9k book club"
Can't argue with that. I just took the name too literally, thinking you claim to have a cure for retardation.
>I generally have a pessimistic outlook so I'm never disappointed
Strange for someone who just preached a lot on hope a post ago, but I guess that's a way to live as well. I, btw, generally have an optimistic, hopeful, opportunistic outlook but tamper my expectations so I don't get hurt or surprised. Hence over analyzing.

>>82291686
I understand. If fiction wins I will simply not read it and read one of my non fiction books.

>>82292899
>More knowledgable, maybe. Pivoting to non-fiction is a stretch.
I really don't think it is thoughever. If they've never read before and this gets them to actually read from time to time then I'm sure a lot of people would branch out to what interests them the most.

>Strange for someone who just preached a lot on hope a post ago, but I guess that's a way to live as well
I didn't. I just said that was the outcome I was expecting if people actually read and followed along the threads, or something like that. I'm just not optimistic about the survival chances of this general or whatevs.

>I, btw, generally have an optimistic, hopeful, opportunistic outlook but tamper my expectations so I don't get hurt or surprised. Hence over analyzing.
This is good. I'm not some doomer either but I mix my pessimism with not caring about the results.

>>82292912
Understandable! Feel free maybe to shill it sometimes if these generals survive, maybe some anons would want to read more books

>>82293034
>I'm sure a lot of people would branch out to what interests them the most
But reading text-books is very different than indulging on the fantasy of a fiction novel; and often less engaging. I can see some people go for history, though, desu; it being stories.
>I just said that was the outcome I was expecting if people actually read and followed along the threads
"One robot at a time, maybe we can make a change in the long run" is phrased in a very hopeful way in my eyes. But maybe it was just an attempt at engaging writing.
>I'm just not optimistic about the survival chances of this general or whatevs
I get it. But you have hope that it'll work, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with a plan.
>I mix my pessimism with not caring about the results
You must care a little bit, or else you wouldn't have posted this thread to begin with.
But I get it, you're ambivalent about whether or not the plan will work or gain traction.
I hope you'll gain a small dedicated fallowing and have fun reading books and improving the lives and minds of your fellow anons, making a community or whatever*.

*But you'll never untard them with books alone. The path to being untarded is long and requires effort and a will to change you'd be hard pressed to find on /r9k/. I've read books and studied and I'm still a 4chan retard who posts until the sun comes up.

>>82293519
>But reading text-books is very different than indulging on the fantasy of a fiction novel; and often less engaging. I can see some people go for history, though, desu; it being stories.
Yes, I don't know why you went to textbooks. I think most people who read do not read textbooks.

>"One robot at a time, maybe we can make a change in the long run" is phrased in a very hopeful way in my eyes. But maybe it was just an attempt at engaging writing.
Yes, "maybe" was there. It is a possibility. I am just one of these robots. If others want to try something they are free to do so. Being generally pessimistic doesn't mean one should not try. I work towards my goal with the intent of it working out but with the expectation that it's going to fail. And if it fails I try again until I end up pleasantly surprised by the result. I don't know if I'll try again in this case.

>I get it. But you have hope that it'll work, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with a plan.
I hope that it works, but I expect it not to.
For example: You're asking a girl out for idk, the fireworks. You say let's go there and let's leave long before so we don't miss it. You go there in hopes you'll see the fireworks, but with the expectation that you're gonna miss them so you don't stress out over it and don't cry about the result.

>You must care a little bit, or else you wouldn't have posted this thread to begin with.
I do care in the sense that it would be nice if things worked out. I don't care in the sense that it would not affect my mood whatsoever if it didn't.

>I hope you'll gain a small dedicated fallowing and have fun reading books and improving the lives and minds of your fellow anons, making a community or whatever*.
Thank you very much!

>But you'll never untard them... (comment too long so need to shorten)
Possibly but I think books are a much better first step to unretardation than anime or vidyas who lead to nothing

It's getting late I need to go to sleep. Good night

>>82291254
I'm a schizoretard in recovery.

I guess we could add "the expanse" to the que. The whole series might be a bit much but I could see some anons getting addicted to reading after getting into the first book.

>>82291254
Speaking of nonfiction. Do you know a good book that explores the ethics of war? I've listened to diverse people but I'm too retarded to make up my own opinion based of their echo-chambery answers. I grew up in a hippie household of retards and it was just "war is bad, m'k!" but we never discussed why. My father was strangely authoritative, for a hippie, I mean. Kind of strange that we never talked about anything meaningful at home but I guess my retardation didn't form in a vacuum.

>>82294097
>>82294187
Nta but the OP went to sleep just before your messages. 8 hours in the thread and you just missed him kek

>>82291756
You're not talking about /letter/ threads, right? Just checking.

>>82294221
no, it was a thread for a game, it died down now and they are rarely made nowadays

>>82292745
Isn't stoner a bad choice for anons that already struggle with depression? I read the tldr and noped right out.

>>82289868 (OP)
>to be more knowledgeable and a better rhetorician. That way, you get yourself a huge boost in confidence
Trust me it doesn't work that way.

>>82294307
The more I learn about the world the more depressed I get. I miss being an oblivious retard with the sole focus on my education.

>>82294332
I moreso mean that there is such a thing as knowing too much, after a certain point you just become incomprehensible to most people if you start talking about stuff that interests you, and you'll be treated similiar to a schizophrenic if you try anyway, with the small difference being that they can't even tell (nor will attempt to tell) if you actually make sense or not.

>In Defense of Purity by Dietrich von Hildebrand
Add this book.

I have 3 books, just pick and choose which one
Life for Sale, Snow Country, Steppenwolf

I don't retain information that I have read from a book. For about 1 day I can recall it but afterwards it is deleted from my brain. There is no point in gaining knowledge for me.

>>82289868 (OP)
>Anyway, thoughts on this idea? Should I just kill myself instead?
Idea is great, but you should at least consider.
Kek, I am sorry, bro. The cause is just and if you manage to pull at least a few turbo-tards into being just normal-tards I will give you a long and passionate kiss to the orifice of your choice. I was expecting something more involved than reading a book desu

Okay Chuds! I'm BACK!
I feel like shit, no sleep allowed for me I guess.

Anyways, here are the books I've got so far

>How to Read a Book - Mortimer J. Adler
>Valis - Philip K. DICK
>Theft of Fire - Devon Eriksen
>Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
>My First Book - Honor Levy (probably gonna get rid of this to not filter out everyone lol)
>Stoner - John Williams
>The Expanse Vol I - Daniel Abraham & Ty Frank
>White Nights - Fyodor Dostoevsky
>Defense of Purity - Dietrich von Hildebranch
>Life for Sale - Yukio Mishima
>Snow Country - Yasunari Kawabata
>Steppenwolf - Hermann Hesse

Tell me if I forgot something (I'll double-check too), and feel free to recommend other stuff if you want. Please try to recommend short books preferably with audiobooks avalaible in English so it's easier for robots

>>82295858
The way to retain knowledge is through repetition (using the knowledge is one way). I argue with a retard in my head to remember something. And the more you see the same words appear the more likely you are to remember them. And all that jazz...
So it's normal to forget everything quickly after first learning about the thing in question

>>82295902
>Idea is great, but you should at least consider
Noted. I'll chew over the matter carefully.

>The cause is just and if you manage to pull at least a few turbo-tards into being just normal-tards I will give you a long and passionate kiss to the orifice of your choice
I am not homosexual so I would only accept if you wear a wig so it's straight

>I was expecting something more involved than reading a book desu
Yes that's the only idea I had. Anything more than that I feel like could feel too much like work for robots and most of them would give up

>>82295930
Alright, I'll also add 1984 to the list because even though I said it was too long it seems to get close to some books on the list in length. I'll have to put the length of the audiobooks so robots know what they're getting into when they're picking a book on the poll

>>82295930
>most of them would give up
Yeah, probably should read something as well. Probably should not go too obscure for the sake of the cause, so what about Dune? Familisar fmoid bought it a few years back
>I would only accept if you wear a wig so it's straight
No problem as I am also straight. Will shave my legs and chest so there is absolutely no homo - just passionate kissing with loud masticating noises.

>>82295986
Okay sure, Dune volume I has been added!

>No problem as I am also straight. Will shave my legs and chest so there is absolutely no homo - just passionate kissing with loud masticating noises
Great, I will hold you to that, but I am absolutely not responsible if you end up mouthpregnant over it

>>82295930
What's up with a guy using a female elf? as an avatar, fren? Also, maybe don't use the c-word as some guys use that in their filter. Do you have a suggestion what we can call our tard-bros that want to improve themselves (in place if the c-word)? Brotherhood of tardation? Lel. I don't want to appear misogynistic but it's r9k after all, something something sausagefest.

>>82296064
NOOOO DON'T USE THE HECKIN C WORD MY MOM CHECKS MY PHONE

>>82296064
I put the elf to catch people's attention since she had a big ass head that filled the screen in the OP, so now I'm stuck with her. And the c-word isn't in the OP so it's okay I would assume, it doesn't get filtered out unless they have some tryhard extension

>>82296064
>Do you have a suggestion what we can call our tard-bros that want to improve themselves (in place if the c-word)?
Also idk! If you have suggestions I'm open. But Brother of tardation is BOT for short so it could. Bots!

>>82296004
The first Dune book is great but man does the series take a nosedive after the first.

>>82289868 (OP)
So your idea to stop being retarded is to read a single book a month

>>82296111
I need some sleep I keep writing liek shite

>>82296115
Well no problem then since I figure most people won't go past the first volume (unless if people like it so much they vote for the second volume too)

>>82296122
Yes and no. It's so gigaretards actually start reading on their own. I think most people here have never finished a book. At least not since elementary school before they discovered they could just look up the synopsis online

>>82296111
Brotherhood of many Bobs would gain us some state sponsored lurkers...hmmm

- **The Reading Rangers**: Suggests a sense of adventure and exploration in literature.

Feel free to mix and match these options to create a unique identity for your book club!

I like "the enlightenment collective" for the club and "page pilgrim" for the members.

>>82296199
Jesus the titles for members, we're not there yet buddy! We need to see if this thing is a failure first and foremost. But I'll keep these on the side

Also I like simply naming it SBR. I think it's funny that it's the same acronym as Steel Ball Run. It's like
>30 days before the next SBR!!!
And everybody just thinks I'm talking about the race in JoJo when it's just a book club with a name that sounds like a big event

So yeah I thing that SBR and Bots (acronym for its members) need to say because they're both very simple, evocative and original. As for the rest we'll see later

>>82296260
>need to say
need to stay* for now*
I can't sneed or speak, or write

Here's a sample of "Theft of Fire" by Devon Eriksen:
https://read.bookfunnel.com/read/h6gjdipcpw

It's a digestable hard SciFi novel with a small but interesting cast of characters and a fun read overall. It has an overall positive outlook on the future, which I think most robots will enjoy.

I tried to get into the "three body problem" before but the requirement of knowing about Chinese politics/history and a huge cast of characters with names that sound very similar was not a great fit for this retard. I may watch the show first and give it another go when I got the jist of the story but probably not.

I like SBR
Some bots Read

Anyways lets start why is this being dragged for so long,
the longer we wait the less chances it will actually happen.
Just tell us when and which book.

>>82289868 (OP)
Just say you want to start a book club

>>82296496
Thanks for the sample! I read the first part of it and enjoyed what I read, but I'll need to read the other two, and I'll do so later! I was too into my shitty soulful logo. But I'll add the sample somewhere for the poll so people can read it for themselves and see if they enjoy it

>>82296622
Yes okay but have you SEEN this cool ass 6th grade kino logo?? I did it in 10 min

But no, I need to wait for this thread to die down and then I'll make a new thread with a poll where people will vote for the book they want to read. And THEN we can start for real. This thread was just me having a stupid idea that people ended up liking. Next one is when it officially starts I guess

>>82296645
I already answered this two times lol. Ctrl + F right heckin meow

>>82296694

I like a cute logo with Frieren but don't you think the roses might be a bit much, especially considering the almost 100% straight male demographic here?

>>82296906
Wait a minute, I was retarded, message received.
I know who you are now, welcome back!
You playing Santa was cute af.

>>82296906
NO!
The roses STAY. It's the glue holding the project together. A real man can appreciate the delicate beauty of a rose

>>82296930
Yes anon you are correct I think you might be retarded, I have no idea wtf you are talking about

>>82296969
Alright, alright, Jesus, no need to be that intense about it, was just checking.

>>82297012
Honestly I'd never show my face around these parts after such an embarassing suggestion. Have you tried being a mole? I'd start filing the paperworks.
You are hereby banned from this thread up until it dies hopefully today because we'll never get to voting at this speed

>>82296064
>maybe don't use the c-word as some guys use that in their filter.
sounds like their problem desu

>>82289868 (OP)
Someone give me a tldr about this project and why I should join.

I'm too retarded to read it all

>>82297408
/r9k/ book club. We vote on book, read it, and discuss it in thread.

>>82296694
>I need to wait for this thread to die down and then I'll make a new thread with a poll where people will vote for the book they want to read
Why? The people who are interested are already in this thread.

>>82297485
Because there's so much shit to do that it's better to start anew and get everyone's eyes on it. Just showing the synposis of the books will take me 4 or 5 posts (unless I find a way to integrate them into the poll). And then I have to make the presentation of the thread in general, with the meme arrows and the answers, like most generals you know. I'll aslo link websites for people who want to pirate audiobooks.
A poll at the bottom of a 100 replies thread seems like a bad idea. It's messy and people will get confused.

by the way you can get any book for free at annas-archive . org

>>82297556
This is true. I'll include it too

>>82293660
I don't see this conversation going anywhere new.
Cheers!

>>82297822
I am not ready for this thread to die yet.

>>82298488
I AM
ME
I AM READY
JUST PLEASE LET IT DIE
I HAVE A NEW ONE IN STOCK
AND I NEED THIS ONE TO DIE
FOR THE POLL
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY START THE KINO

just make a discord like everyone else

Fine Ill reply. Threads always die after I post xD

>>82298488

lol

>>82298571
Were are the CP posters when you need them, right?

Project Stop Bumping a Retard

>>82299301
Ok, I will totally not spawn a bot to necro this thread each time it reaches page 9 then.

just make a strawpoll with book titles and a consistent subject title for your threads and see how many robots show up

>>82299649
Oh nooo, you did the bumperinoooo!

>>82299356
AI is taking our jobs

>>82291463
how many times did you try?

>>82289868 (OP)
This is too close to /sig/ so the tranny jannies aren't going to like it.

>>82289868 (OP)
I might join if you go through with it but you should probably consider making this a general thread so that more people don't miss it.

For example I'm about to leave 4chins till tomorrow so if you held a poll now for what book to read I wouldn't even see it.

>>82300516
Do you think another general would be good?

>>82300472
It's good that's shut down, it was a literal discord tranny posting AI slop behind it

>>82289868 (OP)
when will this be kicking off you think?

>>82302646
as soon as everyone's forgotten about it and nobody's interested anymore

>>82302646
Whenever people stop bumping this thread and just let it die. So the first official one can actually start
