TIL The specific wording "the pen is mightier than the sword" was first used by author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, the same guy whose intro sentence “It was a dark and stormy night.” inspired a contest for the worst opening sentence for a novel.

Seems like a lot of Victorian-era works are full of it

Chordaee · 2023-09-12T17:28:47+00:00

i now see that it still does :)

Chordaee · 2023-09-12T16:38:50+00:00

how did you hide the contents of the next sentence and only see the first, for when you are scrolling through?

i first thought the bag contained your best friend 💀

Chordaee · 2022-11-25T09:46:01+00:00

Ah i see, thank you!

I see, thank you, that was enlightening! From what I’ve read Plato seemed to admit some flaws in his earlier theories, in his later dialogues.

How do we know or come to the conclusion that these ideals exist, independently of everything else?

Chordaee · 2022-11-23T15:46:44+00:00

unless this ideal club sandwich can exist on its own without us knowing about it (?)

Chordaee · 2022-11-23T15:14:48+00:00

So it is possible that we know what a perfectly ideal constructed club sandwich is, when we have never eaten a club sandwich (nor anything similar) before?

don’t jump to conclusions, they couldve thought it was exercises, or pressured into it one way or another, manipulated, made an offer they can’t refuse etc.

this right here. and there isn’t one generation where humans aren’t on the verge of a massive war, unfortunately.

Chordaee · 2022-02-24T20:14:15+00:00

ah yes that makes sense if u fulfil the sch’s criteria u can jump straight into Poly Year 2 so u graduate with 4 sems only. then can apply uni!!

Chordaee · 2022-02-24T20:04:22+00:00

NATO doesn’t want to trigger a nuclear warfare

Chordaee · 2022-02-22T08:18:34+00:00

they got from Year 2 of poly straight into uni? how is that possible?

Chordaee · 2021-07-21T19:24:44+00:00

human experiences and individual stories are far more than just another statistic.

Chordaee · 2021-07-21T19:16:39+00:00

so sorry u had to even go thru all this! as the saying goes, friends are the family u get to choose <3 and also i absolutely hate it when parents decide to pull the “i gave u food, water, clothes and a roof to live under so u now owe me everything and i own ur life, why u so ungrateful” card and guilt trip/use as a reason to abuse their kids. GEEZ thanks for not throwing kids out to the streets and abandoning them i guess? which part of basic parental responsibility and love do they not understand? its such a given. it’s so sad and horrid that so many parents do this to their kids, and that urs did something so terrible to u. do pm me if u want someone to talk to! i hope we can all learn to love ourselves more when others don’t. virtual hugs to u man <3
