Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Ouch! Paul, you gotta start upping your batting average buddy!
This false flag "Muslim Terror" meme is otherwise going to negatively impact your work on Kovid.
You got off to a bad start with Germany's incident last month...
which I pointed out to you at the time turned out to be AN ANTI-MUSLIM apostate Saudi Arabian who spent his 'spare time'(when not planning depradation?}'counselling'/encouraging muslims thinking of leaving the faith. oops.
We have a long string of dupe patsies with obvious 'min…
I did not know that about the venue owners. Fascinating. But Europe and the UK are strange. That, according to some, psychopath, Churchill in the UK, responsible ultimately for over 60 million deaths, mostly of Christians, because of his unnecessary intervention over West Prussia and Ciechanow, Upper Silesia, Poznan, part of Lodz and the city of Danzig, had his family concerned that he was going to convert to Islam. That's particularly remarkable in that he was by some accounts Jewish on his mo…
great statement here ANW:
'America's greatest general, General Patton, praised the nobility of the German people reportedIy said that we had defeated the wong enemy. I realize the current hysteria is over muslims, whom I have no time for, and that muslims are the focus of this stack, but I wonder if it ever concerned Churchill that nearly 60 million Christians were slaughtered. I doubt it. Christians are expendable.'
muslims are not the focus, radical islamism is going to be reported when it occurs. all forms of terror and harm on innocents. from christians, jews, hindus, islamists, anyone who takes life...
I have nothing against decent muslims like Mike Tyson or Mohammed Ali's family.
According to the Qur'an they are "the most vile creatures". Those who do not wage Jihad. "Decent" Muslims are those who do not follow the teachings of the Qur'an.
You sound like you have spent a lot of time studying your Qur'an, Duane. I take it you're a Wahabbist.mSufis discourage or forbid studying the Quran's exegesis or reflecting on its verses.
The majority of Muslims are "bad Muslims" because they don't know what's in the Qur'an, they must not have read any of it, and their Imans, Mosques must be oblivious as to what the Qur'an demands of good Muslims.
True, Islam demands that all Muslims participate in the slaughter of everyone who has rejected Islam and refused to pay the Jizya:
"The Qur'an tells us: not to make friendship with Jews and Christians (5:51), kill the disbelievers wherever we find them (2:191), murder them and treat them harshly (9:123), fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (9:5)."
