How do I join secret santa?

Mythical stories, the Bible and the Koran are historical accounts. This world is backwards. Lies are considered true. Truths are considered false. People have been fooled into believing that myths are written by primitive people who were stupid but in reality they were better than us. The future is not always more advanced than the past.

Only white girls matter.

All the colored ones are not news because white control the narrative. Liberal or conservative media and news favor whites only

My giant pothead friend bought 4 types of nugs last night.
Said that they all gave great hits and were great, said well worth it.

THE SYSTEM WORKS

What’s better? The red carpet leading to the pot store or the girl selling cookies? Fuck I love Canada.

Naw; just never really pay much attention to it until recently. Come to think of it; the great Patrice said it right.

Composer Robert J. Walsh has passed away at the age of 70.

He was one of the 2 composers on the G1 Transformers show along with Johnny Douglas (who passed away n 2004).

Most of the Season 3 rock/synthesizer tracks inspired by the movie were by him.

He also composed soundtracks for many other movies and TV shows such as G.IJOE , Jem , Defenders of the Earth, Inhumanoids, Fraggle Rock, and Muppet Babies.

My favorite fantasy series has 2 of the main characters taken by slavers and raped. In the first book.

So…basically if the fantasy world has slaves, somebody is getting raped. The first episode isn’t even that shocking when it comes to rape scenes. Fucking christ, Sons of Anarchy season 2 had a brutal rape scene and then they LITERALLY put it in the intro recap of every episode for that season.

It isn’t really shocking for a rape scene, it isn’t even shocking for a fantasy series. People got shimmied and shimmied fucking hard. That’s the only reason they’re mad. They thought they were gonna get some cutesy show and got hit with the bad end of a D&D campaign.

Nah.

It is the modus operandi of modern non-live action Japanese motion media dreck (I won’t insult past works by calling it Anime) to gore and rape all things “cute” re: modern vomit-inducing Weebotaku paedo character designs.

Everyone expects it.

And it is still stupid senseless shock schlock.

“Shock” being thrown in for irony yomi.

It is a large part of why Anime has been dead to me since, oh, circa. Champloo.

The godawful design “style” also playing a large part.

He ruined Jordan.

Don’t mistake me - Jordan did a lot in the last four books he wrote (or little, as was) to harm his story.

But Sanderson was given almost total free reign to do what he wanted so long as certain basic criteria were met re: close the gap to get to the last few pages of the last book, already written by Jordan.

And he screwed the pooch royally.

I do love that a mega fan, poring over the volumes of notes RJ left, discovered that Jordan DID in fact intend for Taim to be Demandred.

Don’t get me wrong - Mistborn was thoroughly solid, if just solid.

But his new series is so mindnumbingly boring, that as I forcibly hammered my way thorough the first book, I felt the spirits of the trees who formed the pages crying out in pain.

It was not the pain of their deaths.

It was commiseration with me.

I agree about Jordan. Brandon ruined Mat, and the last three WoT books are just a little bit better than everything past Lord of Chaos.

But I strongly disagree about the Stormlight Archive. I love the world building, the magic system is SO fucking dope, and both of the first two books are a slow build-up to an incredible payoff. I have the third volume but haven’t started it yet because of Rocket League. I look forward to reading it, and this conversation actually might be the spark I needed to finally pick the damn thing up. So thanks for that.

Also, the first Mistborn book was great, but I wasn’t as keen on the second two. Though I did thoroughly enjoy Alloy of Law, and, from what I understand, there are a couple more books in that series that I need to eventually get to.

So I’ve been listening to a lot of Satanic Metal lately (Namely Ghost) and been posting youtube Links of it on my Facebook with lines like “give you soul to Satan!” “Hail Satan!” “praise be to the morning star!” Etc. And today before work my mom called me and she was like “we need to talk.” I was like “um, k?” She was silent for about 10 seconds and stuttered out “do you really worship Satan now?” I bust out laughing and tell her “No. I do not” she sighed with relief and was like “good. Whenever you leave this earth I want you to go to heaven” confused I replied back “Mom that’s silly. I’m an atheist you know that” she got really mad at me screamed “I love you!” and hung up.

I love my mom.

LOOOL still the best!!!

Wheel of Time was pretty amazing for the first 3 or 4 books, but the story quickly came to a crawl after that. I don’t think Jordan would have ever finished the books, if you looked at the progress he had made story wise when he died. I remember reading one of the books twice on accident because that’s how indistinguishable they were from each other toward the end. Did Sanderson give Mat his stupid wife or was that Jordan? I remember absolutely despising that character. In the end I just wanted to finish the books for closure, I really think it could have been 5 or 6 books and a much more solid series. I liked the Sanderson books more than the previous 3 by Jordan.
