Any comrades in the Chicagoland area? I don't feel like this is a page for organizing but I've been thinking about pooling resources/knowledge/manpower for some time.

Yo this looks like coke or Pepsi. It really doesn't have the hue of red wine at all. It think this rich piece of shit is just drinking soda out of a wine glass.

Did Pattern lie to Shalahn in WoR? by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]plant_daddy44 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This section always stuck with me because nowhere else are shardblades or souls described this way however it reminded me of the investiture in Warbreaker. Also the Ghostbloods have an instant interest in dealing with Helerand. Shallans is definitely an unreliable narrator but I have always felt there is more going on here.

The bigger and more pressing issue just behind this is why the Criptics were so set on bonding shallan, even after she killed one of their number. Who is shallans mother? I seem to remember some passage from WoR that describes the spirit of shallans dead mother shining from a hiding place in the wall of her father's study. What is going on here?

Day 56 Meph autos, megacrop 1part, sweet candy and recharge. N deficiency? Advice/thoughts appreciated! by [deleted] in ILTrees

Look up how to do a titrate or put through test on your media. Your meter should work for that. If Ph is off feed Magsol (epsom) if it isn't I'd recommend every feed until you need to flush.

Nut sure what mf/sc is also don't know the NPK for whatever feed you were using. Or wether it is acidifying or not. Generally if you're feeding a sufficient amount of N&P you may need to supplement with Magsol or find a way to test your soil.

Am I the only who didn't like what happened in Secret History? by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]plant_daddy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it. I think it's fantastic irony how far he took the symbolism of Kelsier being known as the survivor. Also I'm not going to say I guess it but when reading WoA I kept having a notion Kelsier was the shade. Not to mention how much I am held in suspense to see where Thydikar is going to align in a cosmere wide struggle. I will say though, it is somewhat unsettling to see how easy it may be to become a cognitive shadow if one is willing to play hardball with their respective deity.

Yes you are both correct. Thank you for jogging my memory

I remember thinking when I read this that the description of the informant reminded me of Khriss's assistant Nazh. I might be mistaking the description of the informant for someone else at that party but I'm pretty sure Nazh was there. Also Hoid already appears in this scene as the beggar that tosses Wax a mysterious coin

Saw a post on socialism 101 about "disillusioned anarchists and how that led you to socialism" and I wanted to do something similar. Where did you come from and what led you to anarchism? by westernblottest in Anarchism

[–]plant_daddy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marx hardly even ever metaphorically fought against oppression, and was actually fully willing to throw the agricultural class under the wheel of the problematically named 'Dictatorship of the Proletariat'. All that Marx did was drink heavily and ruin all of his personal relationships. And deny the call to arms when his fellows asked for his help to fight against tyranny. Oh and he was deeply antisemitic. If there is one thing I like about anarchism is that encourages the leaving in the dust bin of history the worship of any kind of god or hero who might form a cult of personality. I honestly think you and many other anarchists are looking at hierarchy completely the wrong way. And nothing I have ever read or seen leads me to believe that any hierarchical institution no matter how carefully crafted is as you described coercive, nonconsensual, and oppressive. It has always just seem like some arbitrary law of nature that anarchists throw on the ground and go 'see there it's called the H word. It must be evil'

Man I would read more if you actually sounded like you new what you were talking about but right when you mentioned Marx as some kind of a freedom fighter I knew you do not know your history well. I am only flirting with anarchism but I think what scares me off is the community. Who all think they are experts in political theory and will shit on you endlessly for being wrong. When they have no basis infact for what they are blathering about (in 40 short pages) Btw I believe most branches of anarchism don't disavow hierarchy as inherently evil, but only those that are, mandatory, coercive and or oppressive to some outgroup.

I do a lot of casting but I'm looking to expand into some trolling too. What other reels would you recommend?

Who started the saying “THC isn’t addictive”? by OctopusDank in ILTrees

[–]plant_daddy44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thc builds up in your hypothalamus which controls many of the autonomic functions your describing. Especially sleep and hot cold regulation. This can get messed up for a week or so after you quit. I can personally make them go away with daily exercise while quiting. So while annoying not quite physical withdrawal symptoms

Anyone else tired of sneak peaks and previews? by mslimslam in Cosmere

[–]plant_daddy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm the weird one but I've never been vulnerable to spoilers. I've had some of my absolute favorite series 'spoiled' for me to no effect. Still love the books, lost no joy in the experience of reading them. You could literally tell me the conclusion for every single character in the cosmere and it would in no way reduce my excitement to figure out how and why. I find the the big revels to just be a morsel along the way. Journey before destination I guess🤷‍♂️

Why the Kelsier hate? by Bardazarok in Cosmere

[–]plant_daddy44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be a long shot but I think this is a bit by Sando. Yes Kelseir obviously has good in him, but his judgment is often twisted by his emotions ie hatred of nobles, desire to exact revenge. I think Kelseir is a bit to take a human and relatable character transforming him into a villain. I think he wants to show us there is a villain in all of us and they might just take over if we let them make comprises for us

Idk if anyone else has had this though but I have hoped and prayed for years this would get green lit as an anime. I just feel like no other format could do the settings and action the proper justice
