And thanks to the beauty of capitalism you can choose between many open world ubisoft games.

You could say its for control but control of what? Controlling workers who produce nothing? Keep the burgeoning class of PMC wankers appeased?

I’d say probably that. Every court needs a jester. Plus, the PMC wankers don’t necessarily realize that they’re unproductive, too. They’re in that position because they’re good at mindlessly replicating hierarchy. You’re there to help prop up consumer demand with your income, enhance the social status of people above you because they look better when their teams and budgets are bigger, and be a whipping boy when convenient.

It was no trouble!

Dm’d!

Haunting License

I really want to know what the exam for this looks like. Are there different levels? Like is it easy to be an apparition but if you want to graduate to poltergeist, there are additional requirements? Do you have to get the hauntee to sign a release before you can begin flinging their china around? Is the government really allowing me to cast the evil eye on my neighbor whenever I want or do I have to go through a grievance process first? Like, if his dog pooped in my yard and he didn’t clean it up, do I petition the Witch Court for permission to blight his tomatoes?

Why is the Danish capital not obsessed with puff pastry and jam?

Kevin Brockmeier has some fun short stories. Also Peter Watts, with the Rifters sequence. You could also try some classics like Rashomon.

For poetry, try Gary Snyder, Li Po, Cold Mountain, Bashō.

Jack Spicer, Robert Duncan, and Rainer Maria Rilke are also worth checking out. I’ve been working my way through Adrienne Rich recently.

You could also look into subscribing to a journal or checking out an independent bookstore or press to find work by local authors you wouldn’t encounter otherwise. Or check out theses from your nearest university to see what students near you are reading, I’ve discovered some neat work that way.

Re: essays, I just finished reading Everything is Too Small and enjoyed it.

I’m gonna assume based on the first 30 seconds or so that this is summarizing McMindfulness because that’s about as far as I could get before the zooming made me feel seasick.

Tried to find some in the Rock and Pillar Range when I was down there but no dice.

You had the misfortune to be born Poriferan.
