what a BOOMING smile you have!

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

Amazing moments in Dads: my friend’s dad’s critique of Frankenstein was, “I just don’t think the author had read science fiction before.”

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things

its actually easy to de-enshittify your digital experience all you need to do is install this browser extension and this browser extension and this browser extension and input this custom script into the advanced box and go into your system settings and reconfigure all these options you didnt know existed and change your entire workflow and switch to this alternative operating system and this alternative web browser and this alternative chat client and this alternative word processor and this alternative- sorry that one turned out to be malware delete that one okay now double check your task manager for unwanted background processes and element block these ads and invest in a good VPN and append all your searches with AI blocking keywords and wait a few years until everything you just did becomes shitty too so you can do it all over again okay kitten. its literally that easy.

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

whoever said all-nighters are exhausting is a liar i'm doing great. i've never felt better in my entire life, the birds are chirping as they welcome me into the gates of morningdom

Even though we know very little about Hermeticism, I think I can conclusively say, it is the first historical evidence of a unified theory of western magic. There are earlier fragmentary texts that demonstrate a magical theory and a praxis, but the Hermetics incorporate it into both religion and philosophy in a novel way. What's frustrating is that we don't really know how. Their writings on sympathies between the stars and herbs and stones are clearly related to their opinions on celestial spirits and sacred names, but we are only seeing part of the puzzle.
