sorry for spamming this place up
hello folks im in a pickle and so as there is no /lit/sqt/ please hear me out
As im enrolling for a new job in a pozzed tech firm, the HR asked me to concoct a card with mugshot and some credo, a quote or self descriptive message for an introductionary bcc mail for my colleagues.
I would like to go with "all happy families are alike etc" or "no man is an island etc etc".
The citation should express my attitude towards people/work/life goals which honestly is that every man deserves to be gassed or so, but i'd rather keep it to myself, together with that im a lone wolf and a misantrophic.
I have to come up with a self description that's pozzed, encaptures right attitude towards work(bugmen mentality), it should not be too söy, but it has to have a dash of genuinity and orginality too.
I think some oriental citation would be a match.
i could take hitler too

Just had my first date like ever. I'm 22/M with no romance/love experience. Is it normal to feel like you're unworthy of seeing someone? Physically I am pretty attractive it seems but man socially I'm kinda a wreck, which makes my dating/romance life so fucking hard.
The date went surprisingly well, no awkward silence which was my biggest fear. Plenty of stuff to talk about. She was genuinely sweet and she seemed like she has a great life with lots of friends. I just feel like I wouldn't fit in, that I'm "boring".
I mentioned to her once that I don't really like clubbing and that I stay in my room most of the time and she said she sympathizes with that. She initiated the date and is a really fast texter, so I'm thinking maybe she does genuinely like me.
And even though the date wasn't bad I just feel like I may have turned her off somehow. She's really into hentai and like lesbian romance mangas for some reason and I've never been into that, she kept asking me if I had read this or that manga or if I remember some anime girl and I could kinda tell that my continueous "no" was a little disappointing her. It just seems like she's crazy about these things whereas for me it's just something casual. We browsed through manga stores and I mentioned berserk and she said a guy friend of hers warned her about berserk fans lol.
Anyways I'm not sure if I'm tearing myself apart for no reason or if it's normal to feel this way. Part of me wants to text her and see if she's down for more but another part is like really scared because it's all so new to me and I can't read her mind. Idk Is it even relatable what I'm saying here?

While her social life probably is more active than yours, keep in mind that she's probably exaggerating. Her life isnt a constant party and she does have alone time, voluntary or not.
>that I stay in my room most of the time and she said she sympathizes with that
Interesting reaction. Theres a possiblity that she fetishizes you for being a loner sad boy.
>into hentai and like lesbian romance mangas for some reason
Really big red flag
>text her and see if she's down for more but another part is like really scared because it's all so new to me and I can't read her mind.
Dont worry about reading her mind. No one is a mind reader, you're not supposed to be able to do that. If you want more bee urself and ask her out again. If she says no, no big deal. Being incompatible isn't a negative reflection on you. It just means you guys are different. Dont overthink it.

it took me 45 seconds to do that though idk how fast it would be if I hadn't just been doing it for an hour. I haven't googled any method yet, I just use distributive property and do 29 * 65 = 20*60 + 20*5 + 9*60 + 9*5. Though it's also sometimes faster to just factor the numbers, for example doing 48*70 as (2*8*3)*(35*2) and then doing all the small number into the bigger number first, as in 35*8*3*2*2.

I assume that when I get to three digits the distributive property will become a lot harder so I have been trying to come up with a better method but if I can't I will look one up.

Been thinkin bout the desanctification and designification of modern customs. The reduction of everything to sterile disposable commodities, without history or a story. The lack of sacred objects and reverence of them. Complete dysphoric alienation from the foundations of higher community. Demystifying consciousness so as to clear it of its airy possibilities and render it into an instrument of rationality subordinate to soulless production. The digital butchering of the individual's acts into items of compartmented and dissociated data, themselves commodities separable from the doer. The draining away of authentic connection and the predictive processing which terminates all magical serendipity by imposing algorithmic regularity on the spontaneous to stifle it.

But of course there's the paradox: for this constant information stream of "technological progress" is no substitute for truth. It is there and then gone. It has no permanency.

I really contemplate suicide sometimes. I feel the only thing keeping me from actually carrying it out, is the fantasy that things may soon be better. But this is what I have been telling myself for years, and at the possibility of making my life better, I will either do nothing or make the worst possible choice. It is as if I unconsciously want to die, and even if I sometime hold hopes in my inner monologue, I only act in a way that will hurt me somehow, that will make my life worse.

Overall, I have nothing. I see people having normal lives, and it's as if that door is closed for me, if it was ever open. This leads to resentment, which leads to further isolation.

At the moment, I believe will significantly improve if I get a job, but I have been applying for months, have only got a few interviews, and no one has hired me. The neet years, and having no work experience, really put an end to all chance of ever getting a job.

Managed to be absent from mine and my brother’s lives despite living at the same house as us. Never had a single positive word for me and is dismissive or negative about anything I do. He also didn’t gave a single fuck when I spent two years living hell to the point I thought about killing myself daily multiple times a day. My brother craves his attention to a ridiculous degree and I aim to stop striving for his approval and listening to his words since looking for the former or giving consideration to the latter have never done anything to me besides harm. Oh, he also never taught us shit and now I’m an adult man who has never ridden a bike and is ashamed of learning how to do so. All that being said, I don’t resent him.

I had a weird dream last night. I was infiltrating what I think was a wedding in North Korea. There was no obvious indicator it was North Korea, I just kept hearing people near me say this was North Korea. I was walking through a hedge maze at day. Everyone there was Asian and wearing silk robes. I think there was classical music playing in the background but I can't remember. I remember a lady escorting me. I kept reminding myself not to have an outburst or I'll get in trouble. I remember walking through what looked like an average one-floor suburban house at one point. At some point I reached a house that I deemed was a safe place and hanged out with a bunch of tweens (I don't know why but I think I mentally still see myself as a child even though I'm 22). I talked about a bunch of video levels, the details of which I can't remember and then I woke up at like 10 in the morning. I don't know what any of that meant. I keep having dreams where I'm walking through an labyrinth-like environment trying to evade something. I don't know what it is, just that something bad will happen if I encounter it. Why do I keep having these dreams? Why can't I have a good dream? The best dream I had that I remember was me crossdressing in front of a friend of my sister's house.

A few years back I used to measure the quality of my days by how much I thought about killing myself. On a good day it would be only three or four times, on a bad day it was practically non-stop.
Now, I’m telling you all this for one reason: this fantasy that something will happen and things will get better? You are that something. Yeah, maybe one day some crazy external circumstance can save you, but the fact is: you have the power to save yourself all the time. You don’t need to wait for external salvation because the salvation that comes from within is always available to you.
>Overall, I have nothing. I see people having normal lives, and it's as if that door is closed for me, if it was ever open. This leads to resentment, which leads to further isolation
Believe me, I know. But you gotta move, anon. It doesn’t need to be drastic, just small changes that amount to a lot after the months go by. There are almost no closed doors, and most of the ones you think are closed remain so only in your mind. Comparing yourself to others will do you no favors. Also, when you start to leave this pit you’re into - even just a little - you’ll feel such a surge of gratitude that any feelings of resentment and spite will melt away.
>The neet years, and having no work experience, really put an end to all chance of ever getting a job.
That fucks us, but it’s not unsurmountable. There are ways out, keep an eye for them. In my case I’m aiming for a very specific job in my country that doesn’t give a fuck about previous job history but requires proficiency in a bunch of uncommon skills. I know some neet anons managed to land jobs in tech and grind from there.

Hot femdom scenario and probably not as uncommon a fantasy as you might think.
My own variation envisions an absolutely female dominated society that is extremely homophobic. The fun catch being bisexuality is perfectly fine. Naturally their solution to the "depravity" of pure lesbianism is to employ male slaves a sort of medical prophylactic.

I'm not sure if the agepill is realizing that you're still young or realizing that you're already too old. I admit that it's formulated in a dangerously reductive manner, as it is ignoring the vast nuances that are inherent to any real life situation, but it does keep me up at night. Even if the former has a slight cynical edge to it thanks to the contemporary consumerist social engineering blasting the message of grabbing on to your youth with all your might as you still can, it doesn't necessarily mean that at its core it is any more true or false. It's all wrapped by fear/cowardice anyway. One of the reasons why I've remained a NEET for so long until recently is the fear of signing away the most precious resource of all, Time, to a venture that would ultimately turn to an overall deficit in the long run. I worry a lot about doing a job that would not allow me to pursue what I really care about the most, despite me not being good at it for now. A job that would eat away at your soul to the point where you wouldn't have any love left to spread. But that's just the nature of our circumstances now, there's not much that we could do about it is there? Might as well plunge into any field and have faith that these circumstances, these factors that will always remain beyond your reach, wouldn't play a rotten game against you. Gotta face adversity somehow, otherwise there would be no manhood to wax about.
I hope to get an entry into humanitarian aid through this degree. That would probably be more beneficial to life itself than the rest of my self-centered "artistic" leanings. Or if I really was worth a damn, I'd find a way to synthesize the two into an object worth contemplating. That's it, worth. Maybe that's what I'm looking for. Justifying my own chain of decisions so far in life. That's the deepest appeal of art for me, the idea that I could bring all of my experiences into one transcendental package, something that will go much farther beyond my self and my own perspectives. Scraping away the wisdom that could be found hiding behind the textures of the happenings of my life. That should serve goodness, shouldn't it? Do you think art could work for the good of the world? Or do you think it's bound to remain perverse? I'd love to hear your answers anons, as I haven't figured that out either.
If you've read this, thank you, and may God bless you all.

I'm one of the good metabolizers of tramadol, so it gets me pretty high in a very enjoyable way and is dirt cheap.
That means I sometimes go on binges, because the withdrawals are basically nothing as well, just 2-3 days of feeling malaise and apathy, and with some real emotional lability and hair-trigger creative impulses, like all the sedated thoughts from the last few weeks come bursting through with sobriety. It actually makes it a great time to engage with art. Completely different from when I still did heroin or oxycodone, and would spend a week of withdrawals in hellish pain and misery.
The strangest of the symptoms however, really fucking top-tier weird, is that I can hear my eyeballs move. Whenever I shift my eyes, it is audible with a sound that is exactly like if I rapidly stroked a piece of sandpaper over wood. Lasts 2-3 days like the rest, but it is like something out of Poe.

The key to change is to actually want it. The reason we don't make the changes we dream about is because we don't actually want to change. We find the old self comfortable, even if we say we don't like it. The truth is that we do like it. Then why change? That's the thought.

A huge reason for men being the creative people they were and have been over centuries, with respect to science, art, poetry/literature, philosophy, etc. is due to the biological pangs longing for sex and love.

If for a moment we think of life as a drama where the characters involved have arcs of their own, and men's usually involves them realizing their true potential, and as the culmination/side effect of that process, they "get the girl" (think of the stereotypical fairy tales with the dragonslaying prince), what drama does a woman's life have, since she does not need to become anything to either find a partner or be accepted by their milieu? They have neither outside pressure nor an internal drive to become anything more than they by default are. Does that mean that women's lives have no real developmental drama, no character arc?

Those are methods not goals. She needs to become a mother and a house. The male is experimental so there's no simple goal like that.

First, between 20 and 25, I completely stopped pursuing women. Because I firmly believed no woman will ever look at me - because I am not ripped, my jaw is not perfectly angular, my eyes and brows dont look like those of an alpha hunter male and all the other blackpill checkboxes.

With 25, I found out by utter luck that some women find me very attractive, despite not looking like what incels consider the perfect male. I even got multiple women to choose from at some point and picked one that's just so, so precious. A very pretty, shy, genuinely smart programming/science/anime nerd that's basically the wet dream of every male loner, only that she chose me over many other men aggressively courting her.

Everything is amazing. We have such a chemistry and human connection, I believe not every married couple achieves this level of mutual understanding that we developed over just six weeks.

But the catch is - she is a very shy virgin, very strict about everything she does with men (again, she managed to make it as a handholdless, hugless, kissless virgin to 21 as a pretty girl men will drool over, thats how disciplined she is). So she's highly unlikely to have sex with me early into our relationship, even if she does like me a lot. If I were a normal, healthy individual not exposed to incelism and obsession with virginity, I would give her all the time in the world.

But years of incel propaganda rotted my brain. I feel like pressuring this wonderful, innocent girl into sex JUST so I can tick a box in my mind and no longer be a loser in the eyes of blackpilled incels and sex-crazed people. I feel like I have to fuck her before we part, or else or (already wonderful) relationship will be worth nothing. I cannot be happy and content until I do.

Get her to hit you in the head with something large, heavy, and blunt. Hopefully that will force the retarded incel brainwashing out of you. If you attempt something like that right now, which from what you're telling us goes against her very strong sense of values, you'll probably destabilize what you have.
Don't feel pressured to rush things. Take it slow and enjoy the very precious relationship you currently have. Let things develop naturally.

Someone who suffered similar shit that you did and found a beautiful virgin gf( who is now my pregnant wife btw ). My advice: wait until marriage and be strong. Dating is a vetting process for marriage. You shouldn’t have sex with someone unless you are willing to have kids with them and you shouldn’t have kids with someone unless you are married, hence wait till marriage.

Also read the Bible and be Christian.

It's nice enough, and there seems to be a natural end to the binges, where I stop making as much of whatever enzyme it is that turns it into actually good O-DSMT. In-built brakes is a nice thing in an opioid.

But to be honest, I did not intend to end my binge here. I bought a few more blister sheets of pills recently from my regular suppliers. I was a bit surprised by the manufacturer which I had never heard of - I thought it legit enough since they were in professional blisters and all. Googling it, I found out that the medical company doesn't exist, the only paper trail to the brand name, "Santeria" is extremely shady imitations of darknet markets (on the clearweb, because the sellers are incompetent). Turns out they are homemade and manufactured to look like real medicine via blisterpacks clandestinely, and apparently, a lot of the people who taken it have tested positive for methadone. Digging a bit deeper, it appears that the pills contain dipyanone, a novel RC-opioid much like methadone, but instead of more euphoria, it has even greater respiratory depression and a longer duration of action, meaning it will very much kill you dead if you do it daily from an accumulating dose.

One of the reasons I chose tramadol was because I thought it wouldn't be worthwhile to fake them with shitty untested RC opioids or fentanyl, but my God the entire market is fucked beyond belief, even in Europe.
Digging even deeper, it turns out "Santeria", the brand name, is the name of a syncretistic spiritualist caribbean religion that believes in sacrificing to spirits and voodoo. Satanic and sinister little fuckers, these pills.

Sure, yeah go ahead and get it out of the way. Make a “Black” version of everything. Every franchise. Every character from pop culture. Have a remake of every established IP with an all black cast. Black Superman? Black Forrest Gump? Black Mission Impossible? Black National Treasure? Black Waterworld. Everything. Just make a Black version of everything. They will all bomb and fail, but who cares. Just blame it on racist Nazis and Review Bombers. Just keep making Black reboots of everything. Then maybe, just maybe, after they’ve run out of old ideas to reboot we might get something original or new.

I get a lot of shit when I bluntly state that the USA has never been more powerful than it is today. People will point to the USA’s de-industrialization, its opiate-death crisis, its falling living standards, its disappearing middle class, crumbling infrastructure, the growing divide between red and blue states, and the collective meltdown of half of America thanks to Trump’s surprise win in 2016. All of these points are valid, but they also mean fuck all in the greater scheme of things.

To effect change (at its most conservative, or revolution at is most liberal), a segment of the elites need to defect to the side of those seeking change. The USA today is a picture of elites united in total. Bipartisan consensus on all matters imperial is the rule, with intelligence agencies in bed with both media and Silicon Valley. Those who diverge from “the current thing” are quickly cast out of good company, with some losing their jobs and becoming unpersoned. All centres of power (with the notable exception of maybe the massive NYPD) are firmly onside, happily conforming to ever-changing prevailing narratives that find their way into laws, into schooling, and into corporate governance.

“But half of the country hates this!” Sure, but they don’t matter. Flyover America can rot for all they care, so long as the lights aren’t turned off in the places that count. The idea that the people matter was easily laid to rest with how easily the Trump Administration was subverted through the joint action of the intelligence/security servies with the mainstream media, NGOs, the judiciary, and various planted agents within the actual Trump Regime. They then went on to “fortify” the 2020 election to ensure that such a wrong result could not be repeated. If it is repeated again, they will simply subvert once more, as they got away with it the first time and are still in the same positions of power.

It does not matter to the elites whether Peoria, Illinois or Topeka, Kansas is seeing growth or regeneration. This does not impact the concerns of those in power on the federal level because these are national concerns that have for some time taken a back seat to imperial concerns. John McWilliams in Greenville, South Carolina is as relevant to them as Jose Cortes in Arica, Chile, or Dieter Schliemann from Dortmund, Germany: they are all imperial subjects.

I doubt it. America’s power is so overwhelming that they literally tell us that they will lie to us to promote their own security interests and dare us to do something about it. Big Tech is the lynchpin that effects US military, economic, and socio-cultural control over its own country and those of its allies.

You have Russia fighting its war in Ukraine with one hand tied behind its own back (its unwillingness to send in overwhelming force), but the Americans are fighting this proxy war with not just one hand tied behind its back, but with another four fingers on the other hand as well. Happy to fight to the last Ukrainian, America is using their massive stockpiles of weapons alongside real-time intel to hamper Russian efforts in that country. US policy planners know that the Ukrainians cannot win this war on the ground, but they can make it as bloody as possible for the Russians. When combined with symbolic strikes like that on the Moskva naval flagship in tandem with their overwhelming dominance on the propaganda plane of battle, the USA can also diminish the reputation of Russia’s armed forces in the eyes of many (but not all).

To further compound matters, the USA has placed the monetary cost of this conflict entirely on the shoulders of its European satrapies. US-Russia trade amounted to very little not just in the run up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but in years prior as well. Europe, on the other hand, has had its arm twisted to reduce trade with Russia over the years to reflect the increasing strain of ties between its American lord and Moscow. Just today, Germany reported a record historical high of 30% producer price inflation, and this was from last month. The blame is laid on skyrocketing energy prices. Just think what will happen if the USA gets its way and the EU approves an embargo on Russian oil (this vote is coming up next week). Europe is seeing inflation galloping across the continent, as the USA just looks on and tells them to tighten their belts to ‘save democracy’, while planning to sell them overpriced American LNG to replace Russian gas which powers many of Europe’s economies. This is a flex.

And the flexing on Europe doesn’t stop there, I am certain that US policy planners in the Treasury Department have been thinking up ways to make succulent sanction China, and their confident threats to sanction Beijing tell me that they have thought it through.

Openly telling everyone that they will lie to us to make Russia bleed and openly threatening to sanction China at the same time for not breaking with Russia is a big, glowing red sign indicating hubris. For some, this will suggest desperation on the part of the USA to maintain its global standing. To me, it suggests that the USA is confident in its own power, having put Russia onto the Europeans to allow itself to effect its Pivot to Asia once and for all.

I don’t see you adding anything substantial, the only ones who are desperate here is the Populist Right and the Third-world Leftists who are dick riding every non-western power they see like a battered whore. The radicalized, believing that the regime is their greatest enemy (which is true, incidentally) are openly now cheering for the Chinese in the hopes that an embarrassment for the Biden administration or an all-out war will lead to destabilization and opportunity for them. Many times, this plays into the very well-developed — one might say overdeveloped — thanatic impulse of the online. Other times it’s messiah complex. With Donald Trump having failed and turned to pure grifting, and with Putin’s Russia being consistently shown incapable of posing a serious threat, the hopium addicts have turned yellowed sclerae towards glorious Chairman Xi, who’ll karate-chop the gay unipolar world order, et cetera. I’m unimpressed.

Sanctions inflation is the new corporate concept of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) in which western concepts used to flex their power. The Chinese have already warned against any sanctions, saying bluntly that any threat to its gas and oil imports will be considered threats to its own national security. Once thoughtfully applied will bring dangers to the Chinese developmental wise.

Yep, Europe is the fall guy for all the economic hardships that come about as trade and diplomacy between Russia and European countries is demolished. And perhaps the most symbolic (and economically and politically speaking the most debilitating) blow to East-West relations was the destruction of the Nord Stream pipelines. Now Germany, and downstream other countries as well, cannot rely on Russian energy trade even if they wanted to. That trade route for gas is now gone for good, and of course Uncle Sam swoops in with the convenient, albeit many times as expensive solution -- LNG. This will weaken Europe's industry and populace considerably while USA will reap the benefits. Over time, unless alternative cheap sources of energy are found, Europe will experience rampant deindustrialization. Industy will move to places like the USA or perhaps even China where costs aren't prohibitive.

It's a sad state of affairs for Europe to get hooked into Washington's machinations. If war escalates, Europe will once again be the battleground. The short-sightedness in policy is palpable.

My dad left our Family when I was 10, because he was drug dealer at the time and the police was on his ass. So he went to Argentina, then Bolivia and then Argentina again. In the meantime, he got at least two woman pregnant and made 4 kids. Last time I saw him was in 2020, after ten years without seing him. It was kinda weird and he's still an asshole, who cheats on his wife (whom he has 3 kids) with a 22 years old who lives like four blocks away his house. My brothers are fucking savages and besides cheating, he has also another woman, whom he recently had a baby too. He's a madman and very irresponsible human being, but I somehow admired his freedom. But at the same time, I know him leaving was the best thing, because he's a terrible role model. Nowadays I think his involved in cock figths and drug dealing again.

Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists by Jens Amberts. I too read it after seeing that one anon's posts about it. I remain unconvinced but it was decent food for thought. More crucially I found the writing to be dull and monotonous, with dry repetitions of the same very specific philosophical phrases over and over again bogging down the flow of the book at many turns. The highlight was the quotes of different NDEs from various sources sprinkled across the book which brought some much-needed personality to accompany the author's own writing.

The arguments put forth are persuasive but not compelling enough to make justice to the title of the book in my opinion. For example, Amberts shrugs off the argument that these NDEs could simply be the work of a rattled brain by saying (paraphrasing), 'Even if an afterlife as seen in an NDE is not actually real it might as well be real because deep NDE experiencers invariably become convinced of the reality of their experience', yet this of course says nothing of the actual objective reality of their experience. Still, despite these criticisms I don't regret reading this book. Many intriguing arguments and facts were put forth by Amberts and I was left in wonder of the mind's complexities -- or indeed, the nature of existence -- yet not understood. I just wish it was more concise and more interestingly written.

Yes I do know France is a major supplier of nuclear-fueled energy. But that knowledge adds no more energy to the European industries which are going to have to get it from somewhere to offset the drop in supply from Russia. So far Europe has come out with plans to buy LNG, and increase muh renewable energy production. Which means in practical terms a sustained higher cost of energy in Europe going forward, which is terrible for industrial competitiveness.

The thing that most scares me about aging is becoming slower in my thinking.
I've seen how even 50 year olds think slower in certain ways, and that scares me immensely because it makes me aware that the time to quickly absorb and learn new things is now while I'm young.
The older you get the last plastic your brain becomes, even if you have more accumulated knowledge.

Posturing for what? To attract male anime nerds rather than sports/dance/clubbing Chads? In what world does that make sense?

It took you this long to realize it, so you aren't one, either.

I feel like it's the opposite. There's so much interesting shit out there, and not enough time in a lifetime to ever explore all of it.
My reading list would probably take several lifetimes to ever get through it all.

I miss middle school mass Skype calls with kids from different schools. Honestly a lot of my social development was the result of stuff like that.

have you ever wondered why literature is in such a dismal state? why every “award-winning” book is the same shallow leftist tripe, all the modern authors banal and derivative, all the literary communities smiling and awful in their corporate political correctness? many have speculated: oh it’s the jews, the internet, the liberal elite… but gentlemen, I have the actual answer for you today: It’s women.

Have you noticed that 99% of contemporary authors are women, or gay? Have you noticed how all the editors, the agents, the powers that be, are women? It was women all along gentlemen, and no one else.

So why the infiltration of leftist ideology, you might ask? Well, obviously because women are natural sheep for the ruling ideology of the day. Being more submissive creatures, their supple minds are easily molded into whatever gets them the most instagram likes. For indeed, that is the natural instinct of the woman. And with women ruling literature, the writing of the day will follow this vaginal logic. No longer will great risks, bold leaps, or original thinking be rewarded. Instead, the conformist, the motherly, the smooth and uncontroversial will be lauded. Oh don’t get me wrong, experimentalism will be accepted, but only of a certain type: the clever, the gimmicky, the ideologically acceptable experiment, in a word, the mere aesthetic of avant garde. But nothing truly new will come forth.

Literature will die with a wimper, or rather, a queef. It survive, for perhaps a few more decades, the same variations of awful stories circling through culture like used tampons in a toilet bowl. And then like all pursuits, the women will give it up, not having the discipline nor the fortitude, but not before ruining it for us all.

In two weeks, I'm going to barbecue inside a small tent with a bottle of whiskey and a handful of painkillers. It is the time where I will be most invisible to the world. I'll let the charcoal reduce to embers, then take it inside, and just go to sleep.
