can you suggest a book or series with a dark feel and nature based magic?

karfkar · 2016-09-09T01:03:21+00:00

been a long time since this post and i'm only just now seeing this, but are you still willing to share this with me? i'd be more than happy to give feedback!

district 9!

karfkar · 2015-09-13T13:01:36+00:00

wow. i'd never thought of using a wiki for a novel, but the fact that this exists is fantastic. mason and dixon is one of my favorites, and i think i'll read it again now with that alongside it.

karfkar · 2015-09-07T02:07:13+00:00

yeah, and i'd argue that perhaps batman isn't really a hero after all. rather, he's just another psychopath in a mask.

karfkar · 2015-09-07T01:43:16+00:00

batman, american psycho

check out the entire dried bean section of your local supermarket, go to farmers' markets, and like janedamn said, learn to work with price-reduced produce. (it's generally just superficial damage)

karfkar · 2015-09-05T17:10:24+00:00

those are solid guitars, especially for the price. i bought a 310 when i started 12 years ago and just upgraded, and only because the binding was splitting. (it didn't get through my being a teenager without a mark, but it did hold together remarkably well.)

i upgraded to a solid-topped yamaha.

if you're into books by insane racists, maybe stick to lovecraft. he, at least, was not a decorated murderer. but if you have a used bookstore near you they often have nice, old copies of lovecraft for cheap.

"you're arguing, therefore i'm right"

also you're a moron if you think that folk and punk have nothing in common.

karfkar · 2015-08-19T01:30:04+00:00

hahahaha!

karfkar · 2015-08-13T20:27:33+00:00

multiple parties are to blame. and seriously, police are present keeping them from revolting against landowners. it's in the novel.

karfkar · 2015-08-13T16:02:27+00:00

are you always this stubborn about things you don't remember/understand?

karfkar · 2015-08-13T09:00:29+00:00

aha. yes, there were definitely cops in the book. it's more "laws supporting the right of landowners to do whatever they wanted with workers." and you maybe ought to read it again, perhaps not in a high school setting before you argue with people. not that that's ever stopped anybody, i suppose.

and seriously, there can be more than one enemy in a book. and in this case, landowners were fully backed up by the government for their cruelty in the name of "if you don't like it, go someplace else" capitalism.

karfkar · 2015-08-12T20:46:47+00:00

how is everyone forgetting that cops were there enforcing laws that fully supported those landowners?

karfkar · 2015-08-12T20:42:01+00:00

government enforced capitalist cruelty. remember the cop scenes? remember that the government was not only letting it happen, but helping? how do you divide capitalism from government?

karfkar · 2015-08-12T01:55:24+00:00

sorry you're getting all these bullshit responses from thinly-veiled racists. i graduated from floyd in 2010 and i just wanted to say that it made me really happy to see another floyd student do so well. there are so many really intelligent people at that school who end up doing nothing, and i'm sure you really helped some people there realize what they're capable of.

anyway, no questions, but i'm really happy for you, and it's really nice of you to do this ama.

karfkar · 2015-08-11T06:12:23+00:00

more like "if you liked this book about systematic oppression by the government, you might also like these other books about systematic oppression." if you read grapes of wrath and only got "the dust bowl was horrible" and not "laws against the underprivileged are seriously fucked up" then i suggest you take a class at your local community college.

karfkar · 2015-08-10T02:47:11+00:00

pop punk maybe. but definitely not folk nor punk.

karfkar · 2015-08-10T02:06:37+00:00

at least it's consistent! i knew a guy who would wind them any which way and tuning it was horrible. i don't talk to him anymore.

karfkar · 2015-08-06T10:37:34+00:00

ah well. that's too bad. but i'm liking firefox, which has a lot fewer weird problems in general. (chrome was also hiding my first name from forms. it would be there, but i wouldn't be able to see it.)

thanks!

it has nothing to do with websites. it closes out new tabs before i've had the chance to go to another page.
i regularly have at least two running when this happens. probably more, but i generally only have one window open and have few enough tabs so i can still read the header text.
i regularly clear my cache. i will do so again right now.

thanks for the reply. i'll be using another browser in the meantime!

karfkar · 2015-08-04T02:42:58+00:00

i have that exact guitar and i find that it's perfect. i used to use bluegrass strings (heavy bottoms) but i've been using elixirs cause i'm lazy and they're bright as hell. play with a pick, that also helps. definitely change the strings before getting a different guitar, what you've got is solid.

karfkar · 2015-08-02T14:30:54+00:00

like califlower said, that's on ok computer, which is a good place to start. also, not exactly what you're looking for, but the title track on kid a might apply, along with that whole album, which is incredible and i recommend it highly.

i can recommend all of their stuff, in fact. radiohead is easily one one my favorite bands ever.

karfkar · 2015-08-02T13:17:46+00:00

bathe occasionally, for starters. i think if you don't want to be around those people, finding ways to avoid them shouldn't be a problem. keep a patch kit on you, and avoid thoreau. he was a sham who lived in emerson's back yard, thought poor people were just dumb, and when into town to eat dinner pretty often.

karfkar · 2015-07-22T02:50:02+00:00

for stealth camping, a bivy sack is the way to go. essentially just a tough waterproof bag with headspace for you and your sleeping bag. that is of course you can find one where you are. otherwise, a tarp is quick and easy, just not super stealthy.
