ITT the last book you read. Anonymous 12/31/17 (Sun) 17:59:11 No.13968 [Open Thread][Last 50 Posts]

Post the last book(s) you have read. It would be nice if you add a synopsis or review as well, but it's not a requirement. Just seeing a snapshot of what other image-board anons are reading is itself awesome.

The most Forbidden Book in our Time??? Librarian 11/02/26 (Mon) 22:01:07 No.17861 [Open Thread]

Hello everyone,

Around two years ago, a man claiming to be a 33rd-degree Freemason contacted me while I was selling books online. He was desperately searching for *Cosmic Manuscript* by Dallas W. Thompson. I didn't have it, but I decided to help him find it.

What followed was one of the strangest research rabbit holes I've ever encountered.

I searched Amazon, eBay, PDF repositories, old forums, Yahoo Groups, Reddit, Google Images, and the Wayback Machine. Yet, reliable information about the book was almost nonexistent. Even finding its cover proved surprisingly difficult.

According to various accounts, Thompson experienced a near-death experience after a car accident, reportedly lost his eyesight, and underwent a spiritual awakening that supposedly gave him extraordinary insights into subjects humanity wasn't meant to understand.

The book allegedly explores metaphysics, humanity's genetic origins, the purpose of existence, and the Hollow Earth theory. Some claim Thompson became obsessed with reaching the Earth's interior, regardless of the personal cost.

What's particularly suspicious are reports of scanned PDFs repeatedly disappearing from the internet.

Multiple people allegedly uploaded copies to different websites, only for the posts to be deleted shortly afterward or the websites to go offline. In some cases, the websites reportedly returned, but the specific posts containing the PDFs had vanished completely.

This raises questions about whether someone is deliberately preventing access to the book. Some suspect government involvement, or even a concealed network of powerful interests often called the *deep state* or *shadow government*. I cannot independently confirm these suspicions, but the reported pattern deserves investigation.

Another intriguing lead is a reported Art Bell radio broadcast featuring Thompson discussing his work.

Being forced to give an online talk to a group of students on something to do with literature, but I'm starved for ideas on what to do it on. Was thinking something pseudo-intellectual, any ideas?

Greek and Roman detritus is the centrality of pseudo-intellectual interpretative contemplation and accommodates an advantageous precedent for the callow puerilities of the customarily vainglorious millennial congregation of Rick & Morty aficionados.

Where once universities held themselves out as embodiments of the ancient ideal that the true purpose of wealth is to afford one the means and leisure to pursue knowledge and understanding of the world, now the only justification for knowledge was held to be to facilitate the pursuit of wealth.

David Graeber. The Democracy Project

>talk for students on literature

really, truth be told, literature has no "purpose" and may very well be diminishing in cultural significance in a money focused economy. The benefit of reading literature is that it may cultivate wisdom.

At length in his works Plato lauds the gaining of wisdom, and no more so than in The Republic (Book VI 484 et seq) in his discussion regarding the qualities indispensable for society's leaders (Guardians).

This could be a worthwhile basis for your talk

This subject has been confusing me so much lately. I always thought that the purpose of universities was about employment but I have recently listened to criticism about how businesses are too deep in the education system. Now I've reached this dilemma where I feel like I might be the cancer of the education system even if my intentions for wanting money are good since I'd rather not become homeless again. The internet for me has become what the university once was, especially as my major is not my true passion but just one of high interest.

Story idea- Karmine Moonlight Anonymous 06/08/26 (Mon) 05:37:58 No.17854 [Open Thread]

Creative world building story idea. Main character Karmine Moonlight is a monster OC hybrid who's a parody of edgy OCs with massive chunni energy. Tell me what you think anons. Or call me a faggot and tell me to kill myself. Either way it's fine. BTW the world building and world itself is genuine, main character is satire.

New series called "Violence is Freedom" Anonymous 12/06/25 (Sat) 01:24:54 No.17849 [Open Thread]

There is a new series in the works and the first book has been published. It is called Violence is Freedom and it is available through invisible empire publishing as well as on book distributors like Amazon. It is an alt-history sci-fi where the Axis won WW2, and that is viewed as a favorable thing to have happened. The stars are being colonized and the Pan-European Confederation must fight against the communists of the Red Twilight and the Hyper-liberals of the Compact. Think of a mix between Starship Troopers and Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade but has the nerve of a Tom Clancy style op.

Over time, technological products and components have been getting smaller and smaller, the iPhone 16 for example contains 16 billion transistors, drones have also been shrinking and will keep shrinking down to the microscopic scale, to a scale so small they are invisible to the naked eye and are able to enter the pores of our skin, these are called Nanobots. The media tells us these bots will be used for healthcare purposes, that they will be used to fight off diseases, maybe even stifle aging, but dont you think they could also be used to seize control our brains and muscles?, and be piloted around by the admin? We already know about the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis and its ability to possess other organisms that consume it, nanobots will be engineered with some same ability, whilst also being airborne drones. Once this is achieved we would have no way to object to this, ask yourself can you protest against the common cold? Not against vaccines or quarantines I mean literally protest against the Cold virus: you cannot see it (they're 30 nanometers in diameter), you cannot reason with it (they doesn't talk), you cannot avoid it (they travels through the air and statistically speaking; 100% of people will catch a cold in their lifetime), Nanobots will be as communicable as the cold and as nefarious as the Cordyceps.

The rise of 3D printers has given the public access to machines that can manufacture 3 dimensional structures, structures like firearms, explosives; bio-printers soon to be capable of printing diseases. The populace are now able to bear arms without licenses and other weapons that are entirely illegal.

AI has almost perfected the ability to simulate a human being, fake audio and video of someone can now be generated via a plethora of websites, this is blatant identity theft. There have been cases of prompters: impersonating others to access bank account details, creating pornographic deep fakes, generating CP. Legal evidence can now be dismissed as AI generated. To the person reading this, Your own identity is at risk of theft.

Plinko e reale? Opinioni e garanzie del gioco AnthonyGicky 09/12/25 (Fri) 20:58:50 No.17831 [Open Thread]

Plinko e un gioco vero, disponibile nei portali autorizzati e creato da marchi noti come Spribe e Bgaming. La struttura e immediata: una pallina cade lungo una tabella di perni e si posa in una cella con un valore, che puo diminuire o aumentare la puntata.

Il gioco non deriva da mosse, ma soltanto dal caso. Ogni round e regolato da un algoritmo testato o da sistemi Provably Fair, che garantiscono la onesta del gioco e escludono imbrogli.

Le opinioni dei utenti sono discordanti: alcuni descrivono successi notevoli, altri perdite consistenti. Entrambe le esperienze sono effettive, perche Plinko: https://www.radix-tai.it/ - offre vincite, ma sempre in modo imprevedibile.

La garanzia deriva dal sito in cui si gioca. Per evitare giochi pirata e pericoli sui fondi, e fondamentale scegliere solo siti legali, esaminare l’originalita del gioco e confermare i sistemi bancari e l’help desk.

Casino Non AAMS: Vantaggi e Minacce per i Giocatori Jamessal 09/11/25 (Thu) 22:06:19 No.17829 [Open Thread]

I casino non AAMS sono siti di gioco online che non possiedono la licenza rilasciata dall'Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli, l'autorita italiana che supervisiona il settore del gioco d'azzardo. Molti giocatori italiani si rivolgono a questi casino per le promesse di bonus piu alti e un'ampia varieta di giochi, ma cio comporta anche numerosi rischi che vanno valutati prima di fare una valutazione.

Uno dei principali vantaggi dei casino non AAMS e la possibilita di ottenere bonus piu alti e condizioni piu vantaggiose rispetto ai casino regolamentati in Italia. Le offerte di benvenuto sono spesso piu allettanti, come i bonus senza deposito, e talvolta i giocatori possono trovare un'esperienza di gioco meno limitata dalle normative italiane. Questo rende i casino non AAMS particolarmente interessanti per chi cerca piu liberta nelle proprie partite.

Tuttavia, giocare su un casino non AAMS https://317charcuterie.com/ comporta anche minacce significativi. Queste piattaforme non sono soggette alle rigide normative di protezione e trasparenza imposte dalle autorita italiane. Cio significa che i giocatori potrebbero trovarsi di fronte a siti che non proteggono adeguatamente i loro dati personali o che non garantiscono una gestione leale dei fondi. In alcuni casi, potrebbero verificarsi disguidi nei pagamenti o addirittura situazioni di imbroglio.

Inoltre, la legalita del gioco su casino non AAMS e un argomento dibattuto. Sebbene sia possibile accedere a questi siti, la legge italiana vieti ufficialmente il gioco su piattaforme non licenziate. I giocatori che scelgono questi casino rischiano ripercussioni legali o di trovarsi in situazioni di incertezza legale. Per questo motivo, e sempre consigliato valutare attentamente i rischi e considerare alternative sicure, come i casino con licenza di Malta o di altre giurisdizioni ufficiali.

The Ultimate Guide to Acing Online Classes in College james martin 08/28/25 (Thu) 07:19:39 No.17827 [Open Thread]

Online classes have become the new normal for college students across the world. While they offer flexibility and convenience, they also come with unique challenges—like staying motivated, managing your time, and avoiding distractions (hello, Netflix). If you're a student struggling to stay on top of your virtual coursework, you're definitely not alone.

Whether you're behind on deadlines or just need help organizing your workload, it's okay to seek a little support. If you’ve ever found yourself searching “can someone do my assessment?”—you’re not the only one. Reliable academic services like myassignmenthelp.expert

are designed to assist students in Australia with customized support for their coursework, helping you stay on track without compromising your learning.

1. Set a Dedicated Study Space

One of the biggest mistakes students make is attending online classes from bed or the couch. Having a dedicated study area, even if it's just a small desk in the corner, can mentally prepare you to focus and get into “class mode.”

2. Stick to a Routine

It’s easy to fall into irregular sleep and study patterns when your classes are all online. Create a daily routine that includes wake-up time, class hours, study blocks, breaks, meals, and exercise. Consistency will help your brain adapt and stay productive.

3. Master Time Management

Use tools like Google Calendar, Notion, or a simple to-do list to keep track of deadlines and assignments. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps to avoid procrastination. Time-blocking is especially effective for staying disciplined with online learning.
