Excerpt from Trials of Oma, The Book of Suffering - Chapter 40: To Awe a God
O Death, why is it that you come unannounced, knocking, banging, then kicking in our doors ought we refuse to invite you in? We pour no drinks for you nor do we cook any meal in your name. We do not
@BigStrongBird1
The conquistadores were severely outnumbered and by way of sheer military intelligence, advancement of arms, and scare tactics, they conquered with relative ease. Their greatest obstacle was the environment itself, and not at all the inhabitants.
@BlacktyonteXavi
Definitely not the best reveal, but very good nonetheless.
When my book gets its adaptation, it will top this.

Are there any such leaders today? Brave, commendable, fatherly, willing to give credit where it is due, willing to charge into battle with his men?
@JasonColavito
Ah, the old ‘history through the lens of revisionist feminism’ trick. People that say communism doesn’t work clearly haven’t noticed that its peripheral goals of feminizing the men of the west and making them ripe for takeover are working like a charm.
@fallengreens
Though it’s not a manga, these (and more) are included in the novel. I hope to one day have it animated.

Just listen to her laborious breathing whilst doing simple tasks like cutting a donut and opening an applesauce package. Tells you all you need to know about the state of her own health.

Side note: We don't know with absolute certainty that Paul ever made it to Spain. It was his intention to do so, but he may have never made it on account of his imprisonment.

You have more variables in mma than two hands. You’ve got two hands, two legs and takedowns. This makes for an exponential increase in difficulty insofar as “reads” are concerned.

Not my last saved image, so I’m cheating…but Tiamatu from by novel, Trials of Oma, The Book of Suffering.
Manoraga would be mid difficulty for him.

At the very least we have standards in general. We had enough adventure (and compassion) to conquer and colonize your slums for nearly a century.

The left wants anything but neutrality. They’d hate it if he said “it’s none of our business.” Which in more or less words is what’s being implied here. They’d seethe.

The left’s reactionary “altruism” for ze bugs is kinda weird, seeing as they’re going to be consuming them en mass from their pods should things play out how they wish.

As a Catholic Albanian, I am proud of my ilk, but am saddened by how many Albanians remained Muslim long after the Ottomans were banished from our lands.
@0xAlaric
You're right. I still think that all men should have at least a basic degree of combat training. All men should specialize in one area or the other, but shouldn't forgo bolstering to a certain effect the other categories, mainly; physicality/warriorhood, intellect/creativity,
@Aristos_Revenge
The Aztec and Incas (though not a people modernists would term Native Americans, but were, indeed, natives to South America) were afraid of two things they’d never seen before: men mounted on horses, and negroids.

Generally, I’m not one to enjoy novellas or short stories, as I find they lack depth and the structured world-building of the typical fantasy backboned by thick lore and meaty legends.

Yanking weeds is tough once you’ve let them completely overtake your garden, thus their roots, tangled with those of the flowers, will drag them along. Expect blood. Shouldn’t have waiting so long, but better late than never.
A profound moment in my life:
I was in Manhattan, visiting family for an upcoming wedding. It was the day prior to the event and I thought I’d go on a stroll about the city. After some time, perhaps, half an hour or so, I come to a crosswalk. The light is red so I can’t pass.
@9mm_smg
This is why Western Civilization has been dominant for thousands of years and our colonizing of the East and Africa were the most prosperous historical centuries of their existence. Britain, France and Spain pulled out of these countries and they reverted to their animal selves
@Aristos_Revenge
Imagine you and your kids sharing a home with a rabid hyena and a hungry lion, whilst the landlord has it in your lease contract, in super fine print and vague wording, that you can’t get rid of either.
Warrior. Philosopher. Poet. Priest. Entrepreneur.
A man ought strive in all of these dimensions whilst maintaining that he elects one to be his chief skill. Invest your attribute points wisely. That is to say, allocate your time as effectively as possible. Do not be found

To preface this review allow me to start by stating that I am not a fan of science fiction. Nor am I harsh critic or hater. It is simply a genre that never truly scratched an itch for me. With that laid out it

Dare look unto yourself in a scrutinizing depth. Enter into your own. Behold and be brave. Be aware and be vulnerable. Therein, beneath the waste of experience is your true strength. Excavate this darkness and you shall find a light presumed lost. Dare you go, wayfarer?

Though I share your sentiment, and find it far fetched to call Ai generative-images art, I have to stick my neck out and say that nothing can put this genie back in the bottle, especially not legislation and state intervention. Can't go crying to Uncle Sam and his cronies for a
I ventured out to write this novel in the Fall of 2016. It's been quite some time and I've expanded to tell the whole story in a four-book series of epics. I hope that I may delight you with what I put forth. Come January, The Book of Suffering ought hit the shelves.

To sip my espresso,
to imagine myself in the stories I read,
to love, not to be infatuated,
to respond, not to react,
to live, not to simply survive,
and to praise and include God, and not to simply acknowledge Him.
@9mm_smg
And this isn’t a point of dehumanization, it is a concrete observation in response to the “white man bad” rhetoric we’ve been bombarded with, and to an extent, have been internalizing for the past century.
@LeadingReport
Interesting. Wouldn’t this push a lot of countries away from doing business with us? I mean, depending on how reasonable or unreasonable the tariff is.
It would also drive up costs for all imported things, for producers and sub-sequentially consumers. Inversely, more free
