What this commodity culture has given birth to is the abomination called consumer identity, with people being no more than what they consume Sep 14, 2023

      sometimes hope made you keep holding on to something that you should let go of

        If it weren't for the circumstances, I would never let go of them. They are my only joy. <.<

      Paper books may be wonderful but without a decent cabinet to shelve them, they promptly collect dust. I have no choice but to ship them home

      Do you have any recs that you would say are just as good as (or better) than Coiling Dragon or Martial World? I've tried just about everything but I want to consult with someone and see if I should revisit anything. No comedy focused plots. Neutral good to good MC. Really like things with inheritances or schools.

        coiling dragon is pretty mediocre man. get out of the xianxia rabbit hole, it's pretty all a let down.

        @Battalion Well, "Absolute Resonance" isn't exactly good and has a bit more comedy than you might appreciate, but it certainly helps pass the time. <.<

      I hate Monotype Bembo; I hate it because I am half-blind and it looks to finish off the job.

      IT/IRS depts exist less to penalize tax defaulters & financial offenders & more to harass honest helpless taxpayers, esp. the salaried class

      I can't live without you now
      What's my existence without you
      I can't live without you now
      What's my existence without you
      If I get separated from you
      Then I'll be separated from myself
      Because it's only you
      Now it's only you
      Now only you are my life
      My peace and even my pain
      Now only you are my love

      Why is it that when I blow money on a special edition (the ordinary paperback could be had for a fraction of the cost), I get deckled edges?

      Death is a yandere; it always stalks you, harms those who love you or whom you love, and strangles you if you attempt to escape its grasp.

        That (or inevitable or any such word) would be reductive and cliched. Besides, those won't make death sound as scary. >.>

        Death is upon us, we dont know when but one day our innocent path will fracture without warning and we will fall into the abyss of Death Tan's grasp.

      Never a better time than the present to pick up dystopian speculative fiction. The ambience is just fitting...

        It's as if some higher power decided to enjoy the spectacle of human misery in his cozy study, moving his hand to switch off the light of human hope, rake the coals over the human furnace and turn on the chords of discord. A good night for music.

      I just remembered your comment on @Rania want to QT about getting isekaied, and the thing is, if you think about it, each time you sleep, you are close to literally getting isekaied and at the same time when you dream, in a sense you get isekaied and come back when you wake up XD

      Was just going through Aristotle's arguments for private ownership of property; it was certainly eye-opening. Link below:

      A fictional character lands on the Isles of the Blest where he meets all great personages of the past save one — Plato...

        who is allegedly living in his imaginary city under the constitution and the laws he drew up himself.

        Apparently, Plato's Republic is so fantastic that even fiction cannot accommodate it, and so ideal that even the mythical Elysium falls short.

        Why do I find this so funny? >.<

      Going thru The Handmaid's Tale. The wordplays r delicious the backstory beggars belief. Decent enuf overall 2 qualify as a dystopian classic

      What's the difference between resentment and ressentiment? One has more letters and is consequently longer lasting and rooted deeper. <.<
