@WhatHoARat What listening to DEVO on a scary amount of edibles does to you (lived experience)
English
i died in a dream once and when my soul left my body the best i can describe it is that it looked like two connected devo hats, one pointed down and one pointed up, with a small helicopter rotor on top. i flew through the sky in that form, finally liberated from this flesh.

If you die in a dream, you die in real life

I can't unsee a fervent but unconscious yearning for death in almost all people. I see it in the use of a remote control or taking the elevator instead of the stairs. To enjoy life is to yearn for struggle.

What’s more alarming than the decline in literacy is the total passivity & indifference that you see in so many people. No passions, no hobbies, not a single ember of wonder at the unfamiliar or willingness to learn new things. Ignorance can be cured, but incuriosity is death.

@NotJosephGarcia @SteelyKafka Extra tax on narrative-within-a-narrative, multiplying per narrative layer

Novels should be priced based on how many themes are in the book. $5 per theme

@WpgPessimist @somnambulant What's the case against them? I confess I don't fully understand why some are so opposed, but i'd be interested in learning.
English
@somnambulant @WhatHoARat I refuse to patronize that festering sore of a company any more than I absolutely have to
(I’ll keep looking and asking in vain)
English
@WpgPessimist @WhatHoARat then why prevent yourself from just buying it new and cheap on amazon? the bookstores aren't missing out on your patronage if they dont even have the book. (also, fwiw, cioran wouldn't care if you bought it from amazon)

Examples off the top of my head:
- Family member broke a slab with a hammer to play a NM Eladamri in edh (it’s now Damaged)
- Same family member plays og Wheel of Fortune in a chaos deck
- Woman I went on a date with & my grade 8 science teacher ran og Gaea’s Cradle unsleeved
Beguiler@BeguiledGamer
It’s always funny how Magic is basically never included in this because no one gives a single fuck about slabs in this community.

One thing I’ve noticed after reading a lot of Gareth Ennis recently; burning alive in a WWII fighter plane is a big phobia of his

Don’t like the idea of Schopenhauer with a gun.
No thoughts in that man’s head that lend themselves to firearm ownership. Absolutely zero.

In his student years, Göttingen was under the rule of Napoleon's brother, King Jerome, and there was much unrest among the students. Familiar with the use of firearms from early youth, Schopenhauer always kept his weapon close at night, a habit he would never give up.

@BorgMuffinMan @peplumtop Here’s the schizo right here, officer

@peplumtop @WpgPessimist Maybe he read the Havamal, where Odin says that a man should always sleep with his sword by his bed and depart his house with his sword at his side. After seeing a few too many people on the streets with small foreheads and devious expressions I would also take that advice
