Its legacy as this place potentially and magically fulfilling the hopes of having the answers to one’s questions far exceeds reasonability, especially given the ordinariness of its circumstances/contents, and combine that with the fact that what they were known for is performing human experimentation on live prisoners, all without the ability to understand these experiments enough to start forming a unified concept of medicine around it, since this is Ancient Greece/Egypt we’re talking about.

Bathhouses. The local Quicklee’s just doesn’t do it.

Which ones?

The destruction of the library of Alexandria was a win.

Many people wouldn’t know I’m not a kid if they spent all day interactively standing behind me in a queue.

Roughly speaking. Supposing we see ourselves as a democracy, it comes off as weird anyone would “plot” a candidate’s loss. In such a system, the only thing we can do is gain popular opinion. Unless we’re implying we don’t actually see things that way.

Playing by the rules is all we can do. It’s a democracy. Whoever wins wins.

You wouldn’t be wrong. And yeah, I’m still trying to find some humans to connect to. It hasn’t been easy where I am.

People hate me everywhere :( Odd thing about that though, one consistent theme in my life is it’s always the commoners who hate me while the authority figures don’t mind me. With only one exception, the few times authority figures didn’t like me, they were commoner fill-ins. As for why they hate me, it has been traced to both marginalization and gossip.

Gosh dang it, I was fooled by another death rumor.

Is he laughing or crying?

Do they have a license to stop dogs from being trained on the scent of certain materials?

What about other materials? I should’ve been broader than wood, but what if for example it’s a gemstone? Not everything is going to be metal I assume.

My blue screen of death t-shirt, I have it on right now underneath my denim jacket. Was lucky to find it in woman’s medium, usually it’s sold as man’s XL.

Have you ever played Eve Online?

They might as well just require a license for people to go searching for things. And what if the artifact is made of wood?

Thanks hugs you too

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. The movie was already getting a bad rep pre-release, and in response to potentially sales-damaging claims that Palpatine was coming back, Disney had Ian McDiarmid explicitly claim he wasn’t. A bad movie where there was nobody to point a finger to became a bad movie where there was someone to do it to. Then he passed away shortly after. I witnessed this mess all go down in theaters.

Then I’d have the high ground.

I don’t know, ears underwater sound like torture. Anything with water does if I’m not drinking it.

I often hear questions worded as “how to deal with anxiety” a lot, and it feels like someone asking how to survive a fall when it’s the sudden stop that kills you. More on point, my last anxiety attack was after my mum’s funeral where it was discovered my siblings planned on ghosting me. It is unclear if this was repressed emotion or something new inspired this sentiment. I went home, and, after thinking about it, just cried. No bandage can do more than keep the wound closed.

If it means anything, I am a thinker at heart. Let me think my worries over and maybe I’ll find peace.
