We have done the best that we could, and what a marvelous and splendid job we have did! Nothing could be faster, nothing could be better, the lessons we learned in our journeys and our trials are exactly the stories we needed to see in order to become who we were always meant to be. The bright future awaits us, I know this for I have seen it. Take heart, my friends, it is time once again for our lifetimes to move forward. Hark! Hear that in the distance? It is your destiny calling. Do you stand to meet it, alongside your fellow and blessed kin? Or do you wallow in dark and sin, waiting for a signal or a missive? I have done both in my time, and I'm sure you will as well. Though I think you will find that no signals are forthcoming, and the most powerful missives are those we tell to ourselves. A new day is dawning, but darkness keeps us fumbling for just a bit more. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3206 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── the merchant is an honorable profession. to supply people in need, to bring extra to where it can be used, to spread the gospel of currency, and share the tales of far off places to all who would hear. somewhere along the line, merchanting became monopolizing, and monopoly became ownership. now we are but slaves to the economy. oh what a dishonorable profession is merchanting indeed! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3207 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── disasters and their consequences have been the circumstances for the entire human race ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3208 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── @user-1209 Unreal Tournament 2004, hands down, if only for the mods. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3209 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: gross │ └──────────────────────┘ I just fed some of my earwax to my cat. she wanted more. what have I done. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ |
