Whence Puns

If someone was to 1v1 Khorne and actually win and kill him. Would Khorne’s own death empower Khorne?

Come. Sit. Listen to my terrible tale of the winter blues. The bell rang in our interior delusion lounge one stark and starless winter night. It rang as an angel announcing judgment, a sound heralding the forthcoming of spring supremacy most irrefutable The incredulous thing coiled its ever expanding sillage and projection about the befogged plebeians. As though serenaded by it, I leaned out my windows and began a melancholy longing for the bright light of a promised spring. Soon, a lone Manila appeared out of the darkness. The Luzon raised her charm, uniqueness, nerve and talent at the unbelievable thing, and in paroxysms of ecstasy it writhed. The groaning heathers melted into writhing scent trails, the hanging mist was stained periwinkle , and the interior delusion lounge shattered. This I looked upon, but from where did I make my witness? A dream? No, not a dream. Soon, my disquieted ears heard a most soft, supple sound: "Aaah... My naaaaame is.. Aha! That's it! Upon that eve was I one of her supremacy, and that a bewitching voice I heard issued forth from my own mouth! "I am L'amandiere from the house of Heeley.. Be united unto me, and go with my spring blessing."

Since I'm too poor to actually afford a bottle of such beautiful manifestation, here are the blooms and greensin my collection that I needed to mimics a fraction of its power.

• Nuit de Tubereuse by L'Artisan Parfumeur: She is the fiery Alyssa Hunter of season 14, a bit of spices, soft smoke and a fantastically green tuberose. She can be a bit confusing at times, but she is gorgeous regardless.

• Girl by Pharrell Williams What a kooky and fun little violet and green sandalwood number this is. This Daya Betty of a scent might need to tone down the powderpuff realness at times if she doesn't want to be glucagone from my spring rotation.

• Orange Blossom by Jo Malone She is the most gorgeous photorealistic orange blossom. Kerri Colby could do no wrong and so is this beauty. Would the aura of a goddess be enough to carry her through a world of strife and wonders?

• Debaser by DS&Durga What an unexpectedly pleasant surprise this green fig and coconuty sandalwood frag is! If Willow Pill could manifest her self preservation through a toaster, so can us through the sheer power of wearing a summer fig fragrance in spring. A definite favourite!

• Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle A true

All the voice acting is done in regionally and period-accurate Eastern and Central European languages. There will be a few pivotal story choices and a few optional romance subplots (most of which would be gay due to natural urge for intimate male camaraderie that arises in soldiers). You and your rogue SS battalion break out a bunch of Auschwitz hardened Polish and Jewish convicts, link up with a bunch of bloc partisans, and exterminate the hordes of the Swastika with a bunch of mech upgrades and holocaust terror weapons. It is a tale of punishment with no possibility of absolution or redemption for your sins as a pawn of the Third Reich, as you plod toward the gates of hell in the name of rage, hatred, vengeance, and the inevitable transcendent science of Marxism. I know it kind of sounds like Wolfenstein, but honestly the remakes were kind of cucked since they included this character named Sigrun that was really overweight and that’s such virtue signaling. Body positivity and most identity politics in general I find reactionary as a Laufenbergian Left-Communist. Anyway I think some other cool titles in the series would be a game where you’re part of a Soviet revolution against nuclear Stalin, or an alternate timeline where Ghandi prematurely achieves technological singularity through retention of his male essence and India becomes the world’s sole superpower. Oh and you’d obviously get to fight Mecha-Hitler too, I imagine that’d be the most emotionally poignant moment in the story.

The DC Inside Brave Girls Gallery has this special spot at a subway station where the first ever Brave Girls subway ad was posted.

Please see here for details.

As part of Fearless' celebration of the 6th anniversary, the second subway ad (here was the first) just went live today at the same location where the first ever Brave Girls subway ad (along with the Spao ad and the Goodal ad) was posted.

\"Let's Stay Together Always, Us\"

A lurker shot is required, of course.

This ad is behind the turnstile leading to Exit #3 and Exit #4 at Samseong (World Trade Center Seoul) station. If you're approaching the station from the outside, you would need to pass the turnstiles unfortunately. But I'm thinking that if you're a Fearless, you need to visit this location at least once anyways, even if there's no Brave Girls ad posted there at the time of your visit.

This ad will stay up until February 28.

If you do make it to the ad, please take lots of pictures and post it to your social media! And if you do post pictures of any of the anniversary ads / events on your social media, it would be helpful if you also add in the following tags:

>For whence did Dante get the material for his hell, if not from this actual world of ours? And indeed he made a downright hell of it. On the other hand, when he came to the task of describing heaven and its delights, he had an insuperable difficulty before him, just because our world affords absolutely no materials for anything of the kind.

— Arthur Schopenhauer

It's a few months since I read the Bree chapter. The humans being refugees from the south intrigued me, and I expected there to be a hit somewhere as to where they came from. But i just finished the battle of Pelenor Fields and I think no hint is forthcoming.

They don't seem to be from Gondor and even less from Rohan. I was wondering if they were Dunlendings fleeing from Saruman's shenanigans around Isengard?

The Dunlending-theory just has two drawbacks. Once is that if Saruman let his Orcs pillage the Dunlendings, well then the Dunlendings probably wouldn't have sided with him :) And also, Rohan would know something had changed about Saruman.

Also the refugees seem like civilized people with clothes and a wagon with stuff from their houses, and not like the more rustic people I imagine Dunlendings to be. I imagine Dunland refugees would be more like in the style of fur trappers or something like that, but not like people who seem to have lived in a town or a city.

If they're Gondorians I don't get why they'd walk all the way up to Bree instead of going to like Dol Amroth.

Anybody knows where they came from?

Piddles has spent the last two nights in a tree outside, so he's obviously gotten himself set up. I gave him a good start, the rest is up to him.

Edit: I just saw him at the feeder, but he was gone by the time I got my phone.

Edit edit: He appears to have introduced himself to the lady squirrel who comes to the feeder every day 🥰

Did those philosophers we call 'The Stoics', label themselves as such? Or is 'Stoicism' a category applied by post-classical philosophers and historians?

I found it when looking up difficult: From Middle English difficult (ca. 1400), a back-formation from difficultee (whence modern difficulty), from Old French difficulté, from Latin difficultas, from difficul, older form of difficilis (“hard to do, difficult”), from dis- + facilis (“easy”); see difficile. Replaced native Middle English earveþ (“difficult, hard”), from Old English earfoþe (“difficult, laborious, full of hardship”), cognate to German Arbeit (“work”).

effort: From Middle French effort, from Old French esfort, deverbal of esforcier (“to force, exert”), from Vulgar Latin *exfortiō, from Latin ex + fortis (“strong”).

Where did Timbo get the idea to set up a RJ's Shakes auto-feeder directly pumping into his stomach? Was it something to do with a dream or vision of Doctor San? And what episode of On Cinema can I find this in, thanks?

In the story "The Whisperer in Darkness" the narrator says, "I learned whence Cthulhu first came, and why half the great temporary stars of history had flared forth." So this made me think ... what is so horrifying about whence Cthulhu first came? Apparently the answer isn't just "somewhere really far away" but instead an awful truth. And what about the "temporary stars" line?

I have taken several stabs at trying to figure out Cthulhu's origins, but welcome yours. Here are three ideas I thought of in my attempt to make Cthulhu's origin really horrifying.

1. he comes from the previous universe, surviving its collapse and coming through the Big Bang intact. He may in fact be the cause of that universe's collapse and ultimately will be the cause of ours. My idea here is that he is the only one who made the jump, and all the starspawn now in our universe are his progeny. Perhaps ultimately they will reach critical mass, rejoin into him and make a giga-Cthulhu that can then dissolve the universe.

2. he comes from another star like it says, but the way he and his starspawn travel between worlds is by supernova-ing the star they're at to blast them through space. So that will ultimately be our fate too. Cthulhu & the starspawn are in fact the cause of supernovas. Maybe ordinary novas are produced when a starspawn just has to make a short hop.

3. he and his minions are invaders from another dimension which is why they don't follow our natural laws. They are slowly but steadily bringing those natural laws with them to change and warp our universe until it matches their original habitat. Part of the process involves exploding stars, clearing off worlds, etc.
