INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY AND ITS FUTURE

Introduction

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

I think you should go to your nearest walmart.Go to their men's restroom (assuming your gender). Look promptly at the Urinal. See that round mint floating there in what looks like residue piss? Go ahead and grab that and place it directly under your tongue. Its the latest progressive trend and everyone is doing it! The real high doesn't kick in until you go look in the mirror. Go ahead take a nice long look. After you have fulfilled your homosexual desires ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bash your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ head into the sink repeatedly until the mint under your tongue begins to taste like a black-♥♥♥♥ foreskin.

Love, mommy <3333

notice how your internet just cut out then, ♥♥♥♥♥♥? thats what me and my boys call a DDOS. you know what that means, ♥♥♥♥♥? it means I hacked your IP ♥♥♥♥♥♥. a distributed denial of service attack, thousands of packets attacking your home router all at once, kinda like me and your mom last night heres some advice fuccboi, run while you still can, I have an express shipment of AIDS gas coming to your doorstep all because you and your snide little comments online, next time think twice before trying to cross me, ♥♥♥♥♥♥

So just watched about 10 minutes of Arteezy's stream. During those 10 minutes I witnessed people harassing him through donations saying he should kill himself, that he is fat, making fun of his dad, telling him he is ♥♥♥♥ at dota... This behavior is EMBARASSING, who in their right mind thinks this is acceptable and or funny and why would you even want to treat someone who is providing you a service like that?

This is another ugly dude who just can't accept that genetically I look better than you. You know, even if you hit the gym, you won't have a face like mine. I didn't ask for these looks, this is just something that came because my two parents decided to ♥♥♥♥. They didn't know what kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ son they were going to have. I didn't know I was going to look this great. Being handsome is an accident. I call being attractive a mutation, more people are ugly than good looking. Don't be mad at me cause your fat ass sucks. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fat ♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bobbin' for no reason, and they're ugly. That's why you bobbin' me, cause you're ugly! Do you understand that? You have no other reason to hate, besides that I look better than you.

Next person to post something innapropriate on my sacred wall is gonna get it. Im mean it. I'm N O T F CU CK ING AROUND<>.

I’m not allowed back in church after god caught me hotboxing the confessional booth ✊✊💨 I told him “god, if you don’t want me smoking weed, then why the hell did you make this ♥♥♥♥ so dank???”👀👀 god paused for a sec, looked me dead in the eye, and said “my son, im not mad at you for blazing it…I’m mad at you for not passing that ♥♥♥♥!!”🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌 lololol 🍁🍁 send 2 420 ppl or U will never smoke kush again !!!!!!!!!!!!

She loots castles, raids ancient libraries... and if she happens to heap glory on herself in the process, she tells herself that it's merely a side effect of her research. The fact is, while her skill and power on the battlefield are legendary, her scholarly travails have thus far hardly been the stuff of literary acclaim. But she is not content to stand as a protagonist of heroic lore. She wishes also to create it.

Like many great poets, Auroth just wants time to write, but the Winter Wyvern's life is full of interruptions. The epics of the Eldwurms have a long and colorful history, but some fear that the remaining dragon scholars are not as prolific as they once were, with few lines added to the Eldwurm Eddas since the last age of greatness. Auroth laments: "We forget that there is more to life than triumph and dominion over enemies. We must also live our lives in the pursuit of creative expression." She embarks on research expeditions, collecting books for inspiration. But all this research can be terribly distracting, and she spends less time writing than she should. Although she knows she should be lurking in her lair, adding to the Eddas, she finds herself engaged in epic battles against powerful enemies.

It starts with EE and company discussing about how hard it is to climb solo queue. Hanni pretty much says once you get to 6k it's whatever at that point, EE says it's hard and he's determined to get to 7k and beyond. So EE starts his queue as we're watching tinker game, he steps out for two minutes. During that time Hanni, knowing how important solo queue is to EE, switches the region to SEA which would result in roughly a 400 ping. Eventually EE returns, Hanni steps out and his queue pops, at which point Hanni returns as EE is picking his hero and starts laughing repeatedly. Shortly after Hanni leaves to go cast Tinker vs VP. During the cast Hanni references this SEA queue prank a couple times, needless to say EE hears about them, adding fuel to the fire. It's at this point EE get's the idea in his head to prank Hanni by dumping a Monster Energy Drink on Hanni during a live cast.

Of course, we now know that he should have taken the sayer's words more literally. Even with careful study of the Annotated Annals of If, what happened on the field before the Unsated Satrap's palace is almost impossible to visualize. It appears that in the midst of the carnage, the battle began to bifurcate. At each pivotal moment, reality calved and broke into bits. Soldiers who staggered and fell in battle also stood sure-footed, forging onward to fight. Their minds also split; the warriors found themselves both dead and alive, existent and non-existent. Victory and defeat were partitioned, so that each separate outcome was experienced in simultaneity by both armies. The universe became a hall of mirrors, with all the mirrors endlessly shattering.

At first, all was well. The Last Graven King boasted that by adopting Fate's pet, he had made a plaything of Fate itself. He should have taken it as a warning then when, on the eve of his invasion of the Unsated Satrap's realm, he attempted to coerce a prediction of certain victory from his Oracle, only to hear Nerif quietly mutter, "It could go either way." No firmer statement could he force from Nerif's lips. Still, the King was confident in his army. The Satrapy was landlocked, poorly armed, and shut off from all possible allies. He took "It could go either way" to indicate that with tactical might on his side, there was little risk in his plan.

The Graven King, however, was a creature of great practicality. He doubted the commitment of his overprudent Advisors. An Oracle of such rarity, he reasoned, ought be used as a weapon to enlarge his domain. He therefore demoted his timid counselors and stationed Nerif at his side. With only a blunt understanding of Nerif's talent, he boldly stated the outcomes he desired, and coaxed Nerif into uttering his wishes as prophecy.

From the first, Nerif's prophecies were unusual. They seemed not merely to portend the future, but to shape it. The weird soothsayer croaked out advice no one had requested, and suddenly the Cymurri found themselves immersed in conflicts with newfound enemies. The Advisors, sensing a threat to their power, were quick to pin these unwelcome developments on the latest Oracle. They demanded his removal, petitioning the Sybils to reclaim their defective prophet and replace him with a worthy substitute. But Nerif described an ominous dream of the Incubarium's destruction, and within hours came news of the ancient school's destruction in a catastrophic avalanche. Fearing the same fate as the Pallid Sybils, the Advisors withdrew to their counsel chambers, suddenly anxious to avoid the Oracle's notice.

Raised by same Pallid Sybils who bred and birthed them, all sanctioned Oracles were anchored by their physical form to the world we most of us share; meanwhile, their souls roamed far afield, barely bound by the airiest astral umbilicus. From such cosmic roamings the prophets would return, speaking words of fire with tongues of flesh. Their mystic utterances were analyzed by the Cymurri Advisors, who found in them visions of the future, diplomatic advice, all the supernatural ammunition the line of Graven Kings needed to secure victory in every campaign, whether in the court or on the battlefield. Thus it went for generations, the Graventome's pages filling with the names of triumphant kings and the new domains they had acquired. So it went, that is, until the particular Oracle named Nerif arrived to serve the very last of the stone-helmed kings.
