what?

Many charitable organizations misappropriate funds and only a fraction actually goes towards whatever cause they advertise. Look at the Wounded Warriors scandal from not too long ago.

Not surprised it was written in a shit hole. Oh, leave your way of life. Things will be rough, but you will have so much serindipity. You'll even find a super hot babe in the desert who will love you unending! Oh, and a treasure. WTF am I reading?

pro-tip:
the nikki and paulo storyline from Lost was literally a middle-finger to the immoral message of this story.

This bored is useless but whatever, I'm posting this
It’s easier to fall climbing up over the low hanging fruit
Day will come to light and you will realise the top isn’t an arm further than the pickings of the one stop fire pit- drop
It’s charring deadbeat dads, desperate mums with kindling siblings;
It isn’t going out and you will make do,
Divide to reassemble
Only this time you’ve lowered yourself to the pit just to
Save a little haste;
Waste a little time
Savour some security for the life that's shortly.
Keep inanimate until then and perhaps your slipping soul won't be caught this time
I can see through your Stockholm gaze and tickling daddy urge
but I’m overstimulated and you all tire me in your
Cliché
Ageplay
You feel macabre in being shoved around and when a groan of tedium escapes me
You turn to Popper fazed mercury. Is it that you like the sound or that I appear closer to stepping out; cigarettes or something
Freud wouldn’t need to pop a Cialis if he read your case and I’d prefer he get a few personnel files sticky than for I to be, again- it
The delicate foreigners always treaded too light
The hard headed individualists always had a shell above the vulnerable; they’d eat my heart out still.
The artist ran away into her head out of cowardice
And the analysts never had the feelings to just dismiss.
Overstimulated by things some may
someday see
Some most will never see
And that which no one has ever seen;
For I was born in winter where
Springs innocence escaped me
Summers strength barely left me standing for autumnal decay
And now winters all nightly days come again
And my face with the monsoon in the sink
Still surprises me in late night mirrors- nymphs
Stain the glass
Father; stain her past
Now Charlotte spanks her ass for a Baby boomers looser wallet, call him dad if you like a weak will behind a clench

In three hundred years, Batman will be appreciated by scholars as the 20th century's answer to Odysseus. Objectively speaking, he is the most fully realized, influential, and heroic character of our time

Batman is unironically a great character. So is Superman. Not all comic book superheroes are, but there are a few.
It's interesting that so many writers have written for these characters, but over time there's developed a consensus as to what their "true character" is. It's like tales passed from teller to teller, only within the bounds of copyright.

SCIP is a stupid meme from le redditte, LISP is fucking dumb, if was good people would use it, but it sucks so it doesnt get used outside of college classes and hobbiest projects, so ironically it's actually the exact kind of silly academic crapola stemfags claim to hate
>>
>>9448328
The only meme aspect of SCIP is its $50.
The book is good.
