BECOME the character that you admire. All escapism should be temporary. But a healthy amount of it can benefit everyone. Mediums such as video/tabletop games, movies and fictional novels can... 1. Inspire creativity and grow your library of knowledge. 2. Expand the boundaries of your mind, introducing you to new ideas. 3. Ingratiate you to strong characters worthy of emulation. 4. Act as motivation for you to take charge of your own life. 5. Provide a framework for self-improvement. Level up!

“Anxiety is what happens when your brains are bigger than your balls”

This is the one thing that 'The Boys' does really well, obtuse writing & obvious political messaging aside. Really capturing the horror and gore inherent in the capabilities of "powered" individuals who act judge, jury and executioner.

"It's a disease called cowardice that's making us see such fearful delusions. We're the ones holding ourselves back, no one else is. Everyone is too afraid of temporary names and temporary identities." --Yukio Mishima

Yeah, I'm playing an Orc Warlock, I'll serve Gul'dan, I'll drink the Blood of Mannoroth and I'll summon a succubus, I'll do that, I'll drain souls and eat them for health, I have no mercy, that'll be 1g for a summon to Gadgetzan, Mok'ra brother.

Say it with me: I will not be a eunach for the state.

Redditors are Elite Ideological 'Harem Guards' for the modern state. Working the gayest jewbs imaginable so that the imported labor classes a couple rungs below can subsist entirely off welfare. Childless; they even pay to castrate themselves.

I had not realised before that the Bronze Age Collapse was literally *caused* by iron. Bronze age powers like the Egyptians, Hittites and Babylonians used bronze weapons, made by combining copper and tin. Tin was so scarce that only the richest and most powerful groups could access it and the bronze weapons it allowed. (Tin was so rare that it was being transported from Cornwall to the Middle East more than 1000 years BC.) The scarcity of tin gave these empires a near-monopoly on violence. Iron weapons are not actually any better than bronze ones – they're not stronger or easier to work with, as I'd assumed. They're just much, much easier to mass produce once you have bloomeries, which are the first furnaces that were hot enough to melt iron in a way that made them useable for weapons. Bloomeries meant that iron ore, which was widespread, could be used to make weapons anywhere. That led to warlords, bandits and city-states rising in a massive decentralization of military power, which the Bronze Age empires were unable to resist. After the invention of the bloomery, skeletons show a measurable increase in weapon-inflicted injuries. 'Destruction layers' with bones and signs of burning have been found from this time at archaeological sites including Troy. Ancient writers – including Herodotus, Ovid, and the writers of the Old Testament – believed the invention of iron had unleashed a new age of violence. New at Works in Progress, WEAPONS OF MASS DECENTRALIZATION: how iron itself brought about the Bronze Age Collapse. And what technologies could do the same today? worksinprogress.co/issue/wea…

The Fecunditatis basin formed in the Pre-Nectarian epoch, while the basin material surrounding the mare is of the subsequent Nectarian epoch. The mare material is of the Upper Imbrian epoch and is relatively thin compared to the neighboring Mare Crisium or Mare Tranquillitatis. This basin is overlapped with the Nectaris, Tranquillitatis, and Crisium basins.
