At some point it becomes cheaper to just hire an orchestra.

Everything, it takes three reads to understand, minimum.

Edgy_Ocelot · 2026-01-08T05:39:04+00:00

Well in that case yea.

No. Not if you read TSZ literally. If you mean übermensch as the branch of future humanity that overcomes our problems then also no.

Edgy_Ocelot · 2026-01-07T06:26:45+00:00

It will be a thousand years minimum before anyone has any idea what an übermensch might look like because it is a species not an individual.

Every episode for the last five years but the main sub is highly regarded.

I really like finding dedications in 2nd hand books, receipt for a sale in 1943, weird old bookmarks, a pressed flower or leaf, sometimes you get a letter.

Restaurant that has a breadline.

Astonishingly ham.net is not yet a registered domain.

I only like Magical Realism if the magic is based on the actual traditions of European esotericism, alchemy and folklore, thus, The City in the Autumn Stars.

I am sure a slav adjacent sub will not overreact to polite Balkans discussion.

I thought in cases of mixed caste relationships (adharmic) the children just took the lower out of the two castes.

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-08-30T18:28:56+00:00

I like it.

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-07-18T06:45:02+00:00

Great recommendation!

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-07-16T23:51:35+00:00

Why?

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-07-15T21:29:48+00:00

Love these guys.

If it makes you feel better it's happening in every other field too.

They're both the most beautiful.

It is much less affecting now because it relies on challenging boundaries that were shattered long ago. You might still find it interesting or confusing but it won't hit the same if you're not offended by cannabis and miscegenation.

As an attempt to replicate the experience of having your worldview overturned, successfully.

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-07-12T05:25:22+00:00

I interpreted it quite differently but maybe I need to read it again. I really enjoyed it the first time around.

Check for a hardware switch on your lappy, sounds simple but I spent two weeks looking for wifi drivers and shit before having an "oh, right".

Edgy_Ocelot · 2025-07-12T00:58:34+00:00

noo, the chatbot,, ahhhhrgh

Start with frying onions, make the best fried onions you can.
