Your thoughts on Cioran?
misery porn
I remember once I saw the janitor in high school reading the trouble with being born.
He was right.
why the drawing of him like a scarecrow? nice man
a pussy
This is actually so depressing
I don’t think
Why did they draw him like a character in death note?

I think he meant that the sheer fact that someone intelligent enough to enjoy Cioran (if he did) works as a janitor
There is even something somewhat beautiful in this. Cioran always wrote about the voluntary rejection and the futility of self-development, fame, progress, etc. and here's a janitor reading it.

You got me
