Delightful, thanks for taking the time to write it up.

TIL there’s matrix comic. Which one you recommend?

Elaborate with example pls

I’m just a dude, one afternoon when I was 12 me and the boys were doing bbq because it was a major religious holiday here.

I found a neat stick and I decided it would be fun to do a fire breathing trick with the kerosene. I hadn’t done it before but it worked and we had a blast.

I’m intact and in my 30s but I still cringe at the possibility of me getting a burned face that day.

Does the experiences contribute to you dropping out or is it unrelated?

So you haven’t watched it ? Then just do it, it’s good. Plus the soundtrack is a banger.

I will also say the subsequent series also trying something new everytime. Tamer has darker tone (iirc)

• Frieren was awesome but it’s so fresh I’m not absolutely sure it’ll keep being that.

Oh but it does (imo), I mainly read but I think Frieren and Atelier Witch Hat is the strongest running fantasy series currently.

This seems backward to me.

Since your example is media. Them relying less on ads means they would cater and align more with their patron. In my anecdotal experience creators with sustainable patron also tend to produce higher quality products.

As an aside I also follow Vox, or at least a few of their talent pool juggernauts like Johnny Harris, Phil Edwards, How Town (Adam Cole & Joss Fong), and Cleo Abram. Most also have Patreon I think.

Is there an example of this ?

What a fun read. Thanks for writing.

I wish Hebrew was easier to learn. I’m not religious but used to be a devout muslim until my 20.

I still retain a fascination with the historical aspect of the Abrahamic faith cuz of how intertwined they are.

At least in my flavor of faith “angels” specifically mentioned forged from light and Jibril/Gabriel have a specific role as messenger.

I always chuckle when reading something and realizing it so obvious my faith is the little brother of the three.

I have a phobia with butterfly spawn, the wiggly kind.

Can’t look at it, don’t wanna talk about it either cuz then the image pop up in my mind.

Don’t mind the adult form or the pupa. Also fine with other larvae since they all mostly look the same.

Hmm good point. Never realized there could be connection with hyper curated algorithm and main character syndrome.

Now I kinda understand why “just look away” makes no sense to these kinda people.

Wood working ? Whoever craftsman who first makes a stringed-instrument, compared to a piano an acoustic guitar is a relatively simple instrument and it gives me endless joy even without company or electricity.

Constantine, and A Knight’s Tale.
