“cat”

this angers me beyond reason

the form is rather majestic

Thank you. Lovely reply. /g

I read your post as cartoonishly angry.

It’s not hard to understand the distaste for Trump and Clinton. I mostly share it (not American).

It’s just that I read the post as being rather angry? I don’t like the lady or her politics, but I don’t care nearly enough about her to feel anything other than indifference towards her personal goals and ambitions. I certainly don’t care about some random tweet.

Also, yesterday was Harris’ birthday. I thought it was weird to bring this up now, maybe some sort of weird joke I wasn’t getting.

I can’t tell if you’re joking.

Yes, they’re for the status quo, nothing else.

THAT IS NOT WHAT TLC STANDS FOR!!!

I assume the idea is that there’s a lot of republicans that dislike Trump but still feel a deep attachment to him via their allegiance to the Republic Party, so she’s running on a platform that these republicans can cling to so as to simultaneously vote against Trump but within their perceived moral obligations to the party.

Hopefully that made sense, it was clearer in my head.

that’s an odd thing to say

gut reaction was skepticism, but yeah i think you’re right actually

doesn’t sound good

oh THAT revelations ok thanks i thought this was some ORVP type thing thanks for the clarification

What’s Revelations?

This always makes me think about the intersection of magic and science.

Many “mages” way back in Europe such as Albertus Magnus and Agrippa were scientists and doctors. Shamans were doctors. Some of the oldest incantations we have are healing spells.

Yes, there’s a lot (a lot) of spirituality mixed in, superstition and wrong things, but a lot of it was really more of a framing; scientists explained their discoveries with religion, but their goals were fundamentally to further science, they just didn’t call it that.

Truly, the people that developed the methods to concentrate flavors, to get sweetness without sugar, stuff like that, they’re alchemists and mages. Doctors, chemists, researches, they are alchemists and mages.

That really is an apothecary and they really are elixirs of wakefulness. Just as they didn’t call them “convenience stores” and “energy drinks” back in the day, we don’t use these mystical terms nowadays, but that’s what they are.

i freaking love solitaire

i love this community

Not sure what to tell you… I hope you manage to cope.

I’ve never taken anti-depressants, but what I can tell you is that diet, exercise, and social interaction are necessary for good mood. I know you’ve probably heard this a million times and maybe even tried it a million times, but if you feel things are really going down the drain then consider going out for a run in the park, look at some happy families or ducks in a pond, and eat a nice meal (I recommend something like stir-fried veggie mix with potato mash, it’s my favorite thing in the whole wide world).

The world is a terrible place, yes, but there’s great things in the world. Like ducks in a pond, as mentioned previously, or good anime and MF DOOM. MF DOOM is dead actually, but his music persists!
