| Topic | Have you ever read Infinite Jest? |
| FFDragon 01/27/22 5:53:09 PM #32 | Heh I didn't know there was an IJ meme guy but that actually doesn't surprise me. I definitely don't think I am smarter because I read it, just that I had way more free time and a little persistence. And I don't think I implied as much either, the question posed was about books that you felt a deep connection with and I barely got the title out of my mouth before I was laid into. When I get home I'll see if I can get a picture of the section that would have been my answer. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

| Topic | Should the NFL adopt college OT rules? |
| FFDragon 01/24/22 2:57:22 PM #18 | OT should be penalty kicks. Start with a 45 yards and go back 5 yards at a time until they miss.

I think the Ravens proved this year that 2-pt strategies are the worst. They absolutely would have been bounced right away but they would have made the playoffs if they just went with the best god damn kicker the league has ever seen. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

The problem I had with last night's ending (and Pats/Chiefs 2018 and the Falcons/Pats Super Bowl) is that the OT period was such an anticlimax. Chiefs trotted downfield and won. Yawn. I agree, usually, but we also got that great Tebow crushing the Steelers moment which always makes me happy remembering --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

| Topic | Have you ever read Infinite Jest? |
| FFDragon 01/20/22 10:12:08 AM #7 | ShatteredElysium posted... I hadn't heard of it so googled it. 1000 pages isn't even that bad unless there's something about the writing style / narrative that is jarring. about that Despite loving the book itself it is definitely not a smooth read and there are parts of it that just DRAG (like the tennis tournament which is where I imagine most people finally tap out). DFW is very much a believer that the reader is not your friend. But there are so many running threads throughout that I think are more than enough to push through - The Entertainment, Madame Psychosis, The Wheelchair Assassins, everything to do with Eschaton and the like ten pages of calculus in the endnotes explaining it (even if I think some of the math is sketchy), basically anything not-Tennis related. Though some of the ETA stuff is great too like the possessions and whatnot. That being said, I would never recommend it to anybody and would probably discourage people from starting it. The people who would enjoy it are the ones who would actively ignore the warning anyway. Specifically to me though, as someone who did unfortunately try to eliminate my own map, I'd never seen something written that so accurately depicted my feelings in that moment as the first Kate Gompert chapter. After reading that I committed to finishing it, and I'm glad I did. DFW can write an incidental character better than any author I know tbqh --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |

I recently got into an argument with someone about this where they claimed no one who says they have read IJ has actually read IJ. At first I thought we were having a "haha big book go brrrrr" argument but it got more and more heated to the point where I had to just stop talking to them entirely. Like they were dumb mad and insistent in telling me that I never read a book that I read. How are you even supposed to deal with someone like that? People are exhausting. --- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person? #theresafreakingghostafterus |
