dork by day, feral by night

Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.

Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.

Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.

There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.

Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.

Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.

Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.

Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.

Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.

From the article:

“If you look only at the trend of species declines, it would be easy to think that we’re failing to protect biodiversity, but you would not be looking at the full picture,” said Penny Langhammer, lead author of the study and Executive Vice President of Re:wild. “What we show with this paper is that conservation is, in fact, working to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. It is clear that conservation must be prioritized and receive significant additional resources and political support globally, while we simultaneously address the systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable consumption and production.”

This massive meta analysis (for those not familiar, a study analyzing the results of many studies on similar topics) found that the vast majority of conservation efforts show much much better results than doing nothing. In many cases, biodiversity loss was not only stopped but reversed.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who are not punished by the narrative by the end of the story.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who win.

😈 You are allowed to have evil characters who make evil look fun and cool.

😈 You are allowed to make your fun, cool evil character the protagonist.

😈 You are allowed to glorify, romanticize and eroticize evil characters and villainous acts.

This is an idea of a community, opening for all dream makers who have many imaginations in their heads. 

Being stuck in our own heads alone all them time could be bad, but having a free and warm community would be wonderful, so something came to my head.

I want to build a website, for people who have their original characters, worlds, and plots in their imagination. I want to encourage people to explore more, either in themselves or others, through fantasy, and provide a platform for them to place their imagination.

It’s like a normal social platform but everything you post happened in your paracosm. By pretending to be one of your characters or your paras, you can: 

Share your thoughts, your fantasy life(if you aren’t willing to write down a whole fiction, then this would be a good way to record and show your imagination), explain some strange pieces of stuff in your world through the voice of your character, and your everything without being worried about exposing your real life. 

Create different identities of characters under your username so like, use character A to post stuffs happened in A’s world.

Find like-minded people here, engaging in other one’s worlds, running your imagination widely with people who truly can understand you… I’d rather call it a ‘soul walk’ because imagination is an extension of our soul.

Make your friends - Time to say goodbye to this single-player game! If you have a very interesting character and world setting, would you like to invite others to engage in it? Imagine they are teleported down to the world you set, and you could give some goals they need to achieve (or don’t need to), some missions they have to complete (or don’t have to). Are they going to struggle for survival? Or escape from here? Or to help your character? Don’t you interested in how others would do?

*still kinda new to the madd community so idk of I'm using the term paracosm right
