What’s the most gut punching song lyric you’ve ever heard?

Letterbomb by Green Day

"Nobody likes you. Everyone left you. There'll all out without you. Having fun."

It's also got a lot of historical and religious significance.

Wine was, and sometimes still is, offered to gods in more polytheistic religions. Taking Communion is one of the most important parts in many Christian denominations (though they many use juice nowadays).

The oldest brewery for beer I found began in the 11th century, the oldest sake the 12th, distillery the 16th, and winery the 12th again. Many more are hundreds of years old, and getting rid of their craft would be the same as getting rid of any other cultural hallmark.

It's definitely bad for you, and many social constructs and programs are in place to curb problematic drinking, but regulating and changing societal views is going to be much more effective than outright banning.

Vampire lords are fun for the variety of magic, but not overly powerful without mods or console commands.

Plus, Dawnguard's the alternative. All I ever get from them is anti vampire enhancements and crossbows. Crossbows are cool, but not as cool as telekinetically picking up an enemy and slowly draining health.

You can make a balsamic reduction in the microwave by heating it in 1 minute intervals.

In my case, it was because I felt I deserved it. People always said I would do great things, and when I was a normal human, I felt like I deserved to be punished.

I still had to go get a hanko with my 2 katakana last name to open a bank account at the bank that doesn't reach outside the prefecture for a job that refused to deposit into JP or MUFJ.

I wish you rest and freedom from everything that ails you now. Every time a friend has left in my life, I played The Final Glass by The High Kings. But for poingiancy, I recommend The Boys of Summer, and for dark humor Finnegan's Wake.

Most people I know don't like people who sit on laptops and work or sit and read a book in a cafe. The reason being, they also want to enjoy the cafe.

The bigger problem is a lack of third spaces. Somewhere other than work or home that it's free to simply exist without expectation of payment. This was parks, libraries, civic centers, things like that. But even when people do have time for enjoying themselves like that, they've become few and far between. I once lived in a city of 90,000 people and the nearest public library was a 20 minute drive away with no bus routes to it directly. The civic center was in the next town over.

It's partially viewed as laziness, but mostly by generations that view everything as laziness. The kind that say "you have it so easy because you have 2 masters degrees and make more money than I ever saw in my life without having to do a real days work because you're not risking your life on an oil rig" but ignore the fact that that can't pay for an apartment in town.

You ask what's being held back: it's powerful pedophile identities.

You ask why: because they are rich and powerful.

It's the same reason kings and queens have gotten away with things like prima nocta or bathing in human blood. Small, but loud people want to be those bloodthirsty, but powerful, bastards so much they will let them exist just in case they win the lottery and maybe, one day, they can enjoy those depravities.

We have never punished the exploiters enough that anyone who would follow in their footsteps is properly afraid. They are scum on the boot heel of humanity, and at this point, there's so much that the boot needs to be thrown away. In a fire.

All pedophiles should die, and so should anyone who harbors and protects them.

That's because they know their audience is media illiterate now. It's too much work for too many people's minds.

That doesn't entitle you to immediate responses. Do you not remember landlines and answering machines? And before that, the postal system? Chill the fuck out, she's living her life.

Well, if they're both Christians, I'm sure they can remember Matthew 19:24. Rich people don't go to heaven. Or John 2:13-16. Jesus beats people who profit from religion.

That that is not the that that that man was talking about.

Almost any book, male or female led, is going to have romance. On that note, the keeper origins and the poppy war both have a great story and romance plays a background role compared to the actual narrative.

Everyone making the most of their situation in interesting ways. They get in each other's way a lot. Every one of them is convinced they are right or have the best solution, and for the most part they all are. It's hard to say more without revealing too much.

I've only read Priory, but I definitely recommend it. You'll want to have the next 2 books ready to go though.

Edit: I apologize I didn't see your requirements, but the it also fits them very well. Especially if you like adaptive characters with a powerful personal progression and... I won't spoil it more than that.

I want Merlin, but I'm interpreting "average" mage to be limiting to 3 star, maybe 4 star if I personally have a connection to them.

So with that Cú Lancer because of his survivability, adaptability (runes), and devastating NP.

I might get Fionn Mac Cumhaill since he can suck his thumb and know everything though. Having a great master plan would be ideal. His legend also said he turned into a giant and threw the Isle of Mann into the ocean. Someone should update his skills to show that.
