I will decimate all competition to the battle of wits with my forked tongue, which is versed in the power of pontification exuding superiority that will leave all other polemics paling in comparison

my only opps here are bladee haters

In the forthcoming intellectual colloquy, I shall endeavor to triumph over the competing contenders with an unparalleled concatenation of erudition, perspicacity, and rhetorical prowess, thereby obfuscating their cognitive faculties and compelling a capitulation to the indomitable force of my dialectical supremacy. - Chat-GPT

venin you can’t blame other people for your small vocabulary when you would “prefer to watch grass grow instead of reading a book”

drifter you do have a point tbh

i feel like maybe its because the type of books I was asked to read in my past (namely from high-school lit) left a really bad impression. and past that, i remember attempting to get into anti-religious literature (i still have the end of faith by sam harris in my house for some reason but i never got past like page 30) and being bored out of my damn mind.

that, and finding shit like harry potter/twilight in my past to be way too...what's the word for overly cheesy fantasy bs? it kinda set me away from reading much beyond, like, biographies on people i'm interested in reading about.

and tbf i just think it comes off like people are trying to flex their vocab, like undertakerfreak1127 from the ranting community days of youtube would do the same thing and i just subconsciously think of him trying to intimidate people with his thesaurus-searching vocab and look smarter than them and seeing everyone else as an opponent he must debate with his life.

look, i can kinda respect how upfront you are about what you do/don't understand (especially compared to someone like Hawks, who pushes back against being the stupidest person in any given conversation with anger and bad faith), but as per what Drifter's driving at, this is why we - perhaps not in the most constructive terms - prodded you towards getting your nose into whatever might give you a vocab pool closer to home along with an eye for detail
just grab a short novel about any topic that looks vaguely interesting, or read non-fiction about something you care about. if it doesn't stick, chuck it and find something that does - there's a whole world waiting out there

fair, i'm all for whatever gets me to finally read through jon moxley's memoir about his wrestling career. bought it months ago and keep holding off for godknowswhat reason lol i even have the audible counterpart to it. should buy shawn michaels' book too tbh

personally, when i was making the move from young adult fiction to literature in general i was reading things like

Fahrenheit 451
1984
Brave New World
Animal Farm
anything by Kurt Vonnegut
Old man and the sea
anything by h.g. wells

im not saying the above are particularly good or not - thats for you to decide. but theyre certainly not overly wordy

you also don’t have to finish everything you start. you’re still reading even if you jump from story to story

Mods please censor the anti-intellectual slurs. Thank you. 🙏

oh Patrick Ness writes some very fun stuff that is young adult but not like twilight brained

>It is technically normal English



technically its latin appropriation



>Blinkered? The fuck does that even mean?



not a real word, silly british slang

"latin appropriation"
shut the fuck up

i should probably read 1984 anyway because so many people (namely right wingers) cite it whenever anything "too liberal" happens and i have a distinct feeling they're misunderstanding the whole plot

"you also don’t have to finish everything you start. you’re still reading even if you jump from story to story" i always get demotivated whenever i don't finish something bc my brain has its way of making me think im a failure if i don't make it to the end. something i gotta get over tbh

Can loosely relate to that tbh, best way around it is to have multiple reads on the go at once
