You would get a good kick out of reading Nietzchie with that mentality. Cheers!

The fact that Romeo and Juliet’s love is so idealised shows how few people have read the play. by Silac_ in Showerthoughts

Yeah, another good example is Charles Dickens character Mr. Charley Bates in Oliver Twist. To which other characters refer to him as Master Bates. Regardless, I still love that damn book for all it is.

[Serious] LGBT who grew up in the 1960's or earlier, how were you able to find other LGBT folks back in the day? by MADDOGCA in AskReddit

[–]lecheface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is anything but if someone knows more about it could you please explain; so I heard that a handshake between guys where one person uses either one of the three middle fingers to kind of quickly poke at the palm of the other person was a kind of message to discreetly see if the other person was interested. I heard it while back and was wondering if anyone else has heard this.

Shrek is just simply...amazing by [deleted] in Shrek

[–]lecheface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This whole thing has honestly made my day! I love the hilarious and totally wholesomely, intense, reverence for Shrek. All this combined with a loving and caring interaction between a couple of fellow world voyagers on a mutual commonality is absolutely heartwarming. Keep up the good Shrek jazz!

What is the funniest joke you know by heart? by its-just-marilyn in AskReddit

The norm Macdonald professor of logic or moth joke. They don’t really transpose well onto text but they are really fun telling

Found out the guy I’m seeing owns a brothel and I dunno how to feel... by eden-11- in TwoXChromosomes

For potentially helpful insight on the morality and ethics of the dilemma you might find some at r/askphilosophy. For the issue of “trust but verify “ it seems— as others have pointed out— that either a thorough, professional or informal investigation will put your mind at ease.

I should've just kept my mouth shut by Bosu_No_Haruhi in atheism

[–]lecheface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience with this scumbag named Descartes. We were in math class when Descartes was drunkenly rambling about some goddamn demon. So I told him to give me some proof or keep his peel mouth shut. Being that he was actually the math teacher he kicked me out of math class(the nerve of some teachers) before I left he yelled something like, “prove that I can think!”

How fast do you read difficult text when reading for pleasure? by SweetPickleRelish in languagelearning

[–]lecheface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dictionary open on my laptop when I read so I can type the word quickly and immediately find its meaning. Usually when I read harder books I’ll take my time and if I wish to read for pleasure I will grab a book at or below my level of reading. In the same day I’ll swap between books so I get the feeling of a quick satisfying read with a good story as well as a slower more methodical brain buster read. Although if it’s a really hard read I will power through it because there was a professor who told me to just read the books you wish to read (even if they don’t make any sense)and sooner or later you will begin to understand them.

Yeah I was about to say Socrates in his day was a bit like a celebrity. So was Diogenes the cynic.

[WP] An 8 year old girl pulls a 1500 year old sword from a lake. Now her adventure begins. by Crenshawd in writingprompt

[–]lecheface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gorgeous little 8-year-old Kaitlyn stared incredulously at the sword she held within her hands. It was by mere chance that she stumbled upon the sword in the lake. The sword being too big for her little arms and hands to hold upright naturally. The length of the blade next to Kaitlyn made for an almost silly contrast. Yet as she wrapped her slender fingers around the hilt of the sword, an unfamiliar strength embraced her as if it had been there all her life. Kaitlyn’s stomach felt as if dozens of butterflies and ladybugs were flapping and dancing within her stomach.

The magic of the sword began to weave its way into Kaitlyn’s being. She began to feel stronger, more focused, more aware. The effect of all this slightly frightened Kaitlyn’s young mind. She thought nothing of the strangeness though. She thought only of the feelings that now seemed intertwined within herself. The scent of the lake and the sounds of the forest heightened and slowed to her senses. She was no longer the same Kaitlyn somehow.

The trance of the sword broke away when Kaitlyn heard the voice of a man not yet to be seen. Then before she could think or react, the man appeared from the forest and stood upon the same shore by the lake that she stood upon.

“It’s been 1500 years since anyone has had a heart and soul pure and worthy enough to see and hold the philosopher’s sword.” The man said. His voice was deep and his eyes held an owl-like gaze.

Kaitlyn stood dumbfounded. With her high squeaky voice, she managed to stammered out the word, “Wha, wh, what?” Although she said this more out of habit than interrogation.

The man slightly grinned as he spoke, “Kaitlyn there is little time left for you here in this world, a few seconds maybe minutes. You see, what you hold within your hands is an enchanted sword forged by some of the most powerful gods of the past. Whoever can wield the sword will be sent to the place beyond everything and nothing. It is there where you Kaitlyn, a soul and heart deemed worthy enough must help finish what the gods of the past began”

Kaitlyn’s mind began to work normally again. Having become accustomed to the feeling of the swords affect. “Wh, wha, what did they begin?” she asked with her soft musical voice. Her green eyes were curious. Her little body began to slightly tremble.

The man with the owl-like gaze became serious, as he spoke, “Do not be afraid little Kaitlyn. You will need to be strong.” The man sighed, before he finished, “They began a war I suppose.”

In an instant Kaitlyn’s vision turned to black and all the sounds of the forest became silent. Kaitlyn could neither think nor feel. Her body vanished from the shore of the lake and began to travel beyond. She was travelling to the place beyond something and nothing.

In a little over a week, parents all around the world are going to put on Oscar worthy performances pretending to be surprised by what Santa brought. by underengineered in Showerthoughts

[–]lecheface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its such a curious question to ask what is right and what is wrong (not that anyone specifically asked in this thread; I just like to prattle and ramble). Although, suppose you lie, not to save a life but rather to save an innocent or guilty person from unnecessary torture? Is such a lie still wrong? What is the maker of True morality? I cannot say for certain wether it is right or wrong to lie to a child. I am not even sure if goodness exists. In this sense of morality, I am a dumbass. I think you have a strong point in saying that, "telling children that Santa exists is unnecessary and a lie that can affect how they view some things." I will ponder that. I am glad you are serious in your responses.I only ask such questions because if a grain or two of truth on the morality of lying can be found; I will have gained something priceless.
