The 30s and 40s seemed hopeless too.

I choose to hope and I’ve been remembering Tolkien to help

In fact I would call it a duty to your oath to do so

Usually my acid time hallucinations go the other direction. Were you mixing cadmium with it, next time try bendalloy

“Attempted murder? What next? The Nobel prize in attempted physics?”

Apparently Europe. Europeans keep saying it. Meanwhile over in America i can’t stand cherry because it tastes like cough syrup.

Yeah an Anglican priest can be indistinguishable from a catholic one except for the fact that she and her wife have kids.

It’s who provides medicine in America. Why do you think our media depicts healers as clerics and priests.

Fr. John gives a hell of a sermon alongside his trademark appendectomy

I think he might be speaking about 16 year old boys. He seems mad that they’re children instead of working father’s.

According to census unless their revenues are as high as their capital expenses then yes they are

He believes any woman not currently pregnant is an abomination unto nuggan

Until you’re 26 off your parents

I’m both the wife and the wife haver

Yeah and the Irish won in America, we decided to keep their parade

That’s not true. You get 10 injection presses and a few molds. Yeah you’re out a few million but nobody would argue that your facility isn’t small given you probably only really need 20-30 employees at that point. Or you hire a few welders as a job shop for welded pieces. Thats manufacturing still.

She has serious issues and you can’t save her. She can hurt you pretty badly on accident if you try

You gotta wait until they start using zyklon on seraphim. And even then they were armed.

Dude, lesbians don’t either. You’re safe. Though i imagine some straight women in poly relationships with bi men may recognize it

They’ve got a clear version. It’s excellent when paired with chemotherapy

They’ve got holy water and holy wine. Why not holy beer.

“This is my piss, drink of it and be holy”

I don’t either. But if they’re joining an intramural league, I oppose it. Because its a league defined by amateurism in which nobody’s really seeking to profit.

When we talk NCAA or Olympics then I think that as people are starting to profit off of it the athletes should profit. Though I ask why we’re endorsing the everyone profit model rather than the “college sports teams should more resemble high school ones and we create a minor league instead” model.

Lets go to a form of labor I’ve done: open mic nights. Comedians should be able to make money off their craft, but open mic nights shouldn’t pay because that creates conditions that ruin the point. It’s a space where anyone can go up, try their hand, and with minimal judgment perform. You being good is a nice surprise to the audience, unlike when you’re being paid where they have reason to expect it. It’s a different environment, one more focused on the human desire to create and perform and share it and on the development of skills to a level that they can be sold.

That’s what amateurism is about. It’s about keeping it low key, keeping the expectations reasonable, and keeping the vibe of “people are selling their stuff here” out. It’s the same reason that as a former nudes poster who has dated nudes sellers I’ve wanted to keep those communities separated.

So yeah, it kills the vibes and for us supporters of amateurism we know we’re losing out on highly skilled people’s contributions to our communities when we say we’d rather them not engage in commercial works in those realms. Thats OK.

And I’d like to add that I do purchase art from former amateurs when they move into professional realms. Tamsyn Muir is my favorite author and her writing drips of her fanfic history. But her fanfic is for her and under a name idk if shes even released, and I wouldn’t buy it if she were to sell it wholecloth, because that kills the vibes.
