    whoa is his name dungeon crawler carl marx

    Marx would weep if he read but a sentence from the magnum opus of literature that is Cungeon Drawler Darl!

    the shortest verse in capital is marx wept and it was very vague but we all know he wept over dungeon crawler carl pbuh

    Poetry can be meaningful to the writer, but to an outsider I think there is hardly anything there for most people. I'm a writer myself. I've really many acclaimed novels and seen almost all of the IMDB top 100 films. I think I've trained myself to know when something is thought provoking and important and when something thinks it is. Poems are often vague and can leave many things unclear at times. Combining this with a clever rhyme scheme and a decent idea will make you want to scream masterpiece. But even if a poem is well written and is amazing from a technical perspective, a well made piece of crap is still a piece of crap. If X-Men Origins: Wolverine or Battlefield Earth were as masterfully directed as The Godfather would they be good? No! So clever rhyming and writing doesn't make a poem good. Most poems think that with a pretentious premise they're a masterwork. But I find most to be too pretentious and unclear. Seriously, if you get rid of all the fluff and wrote a short story based on the premise, most would fail. Mainly because there's nothing there. Seriously. What do I take away and learn from these? They feel too concept driven, and concept driven ideas always fall flat to me.

    otto what the fuck xman originals wolverines was literally cinema especially if you watched the director's cut where the video game graphics weren't completed that was raw cinema so raw that it was still bleeding so raw that like five seconds before it had been in its cinema herd and they were running away from the pack you know the pack the pack of cinephiles that were bounding after them hearts thundering like zeus was a little drunk and throwing thunderbolts and the cinema herd ran and ran across the kino plains but one had been too old to keep up with the herd and that was xman original wolverines and so the pack you know the pack the pack of cinephiles leapt upon it and began their gnashing of teeth and biting and gouging chunks of cinema from the director's cut of xman originals wolverines and it's like wow isn't nature beautiful oh wow wolverine was in ww1 cool look at that biplane didn't even know planes had sexual preferences but i guess that's the way god made them i don't the judge i mean did they have male and female planes you know what i mean because like the bri*ish tanks did have male and female and the female tanks had machine guns and the male tanks had giant hogs but i don't know if planes did but i also don't know if that entirely matters if i'm not the judging because yhvh didn't mention wamen in the laws of moses unless it was like when they should be punished because they were property which is kind of crazy when you think about it and i certainly wouldn't want to be a wemen who worships yhvh because it's like damn this guy doesn't change his mind unless he does but also doesn't and so like if i were a wamen he wouldn't change his mind and think i'm not property so like yeah anyway deadpool was the same and ray dongovan was in it so that's cool wasn't he also in the first goon movie you know the one about hockey with stifler who you know is a surprisingly good actor and i guess i didn't think that when i watched american pie but he really is a good actor like in the rundown with dwayne the fuck johnson

    I love it! That's a great composition. Dynamic, but also whimsical.

    And has your "friend" read dungeon crawler carl, by chance?

  • "as agreed by internet forums"

    sometimes salvation is not possible

    oh Tian Lang u are always so smart 🤩😍

  • Fuck me I thought it was "the Bible".....I guess they ruined it with that second version and we needed a new one

  • I read the secret, why aren’t I a high net worth?

    I don’t know, how’s your vision board?

    my net worth has quadrupled since i started secreting

    Secreting your gross worth will do that. Good for you.

    I own a copy of the Spanish version of that book. I found it while looking for something interesting to use to improve my Spanish with, and, not knowing very much Spanish, the back made it seem like some kind Da Vinci Code style mystery novel about some hidden society that connected the world’s greatest minds.

    I was very disappointed when I found out the English version existed and what it actually said.

  • Their small business will not succeed without the art of war by Sun Ce from Dynasty Warriors

    I was able to open this mall frozen yogurt shop only after a grueling 12 week warrior training in the wilderness and a lifetime commitment to the way of the warrior.

    Do I study things like metaphysics in my free time? Yeah, yeah I do. I've read Art of War, The Prince, and many, many other tomes that people would consider too 'dense' to be light reading or enjoyable reading. But that isn't ALL I like to read. I don't always want to have to sit and ponder the deeper meanings of words or interpret subtext. I don't want to have to be paying FULL attention at all times, otherwise I'll miss key details. Do I love Malazan? I absolutely do. Is it a headache to get through at times because of the dense, extremely detailed writing style that absolutely does not hold your hand or make it easy for you to get certain information? It certainly does.

  • I read the Eastern Canon. It was a monument at Fort Ticonderoga. I don't remember it saying much more than something about Henry Knox. 🤷🏻‍♀️
