the real questions

1.  why is it so hard to consolidate good? if you've found this page, there's a good chance you believe there is one concentrated malignant force wishing to do harm upon the world. even if you don't believe that, you're certainly aware there have been objectively evil empires throughout history. where are the objectively benevolent and kind forces? the people working for unequivocal good? my favorite fairytale is the snow queen by hans kristoff anderson. in it, a young girl named gerda tries to rescue her best friend from the titular character. if the snow queen is a physical manifestation of evil, we can see gerda as the opposing force of good. the other notable difference between them is that gerda wields such little power in comparison to the queen. she relies on the kindness of others - small kindnesses - in order to complete her journey. there is no powerful force for good. its made up of the small moments.
   
2. there has got to be one meme whose criteria is the broader than any others. which do you think it is? keep calm and _____? __ much? are those even memes? is it anything that falls under the wikipedia for "star wars memes"? rage comics?
   
3. where is the unedited "eat yo food bitch damn" image? its going to be lost forever if we don't find it soon.
4. how many people have actually gouged their own eyes out in human history? how many times was it voluntary vs involuntary? this has been a real fear of mine for as long as i can remember. i had a dream about it last night and i'm pretty concerned that i might accidentally pluck mine out in my sleep. disconcerted to say the least.
5. how do some people WRITE so good? i'm less impressed by professional authors than i am at finding unexpected, unmatched talent in the most random places. today i was reading through seatsafetyswitch.com and wow. nothing much to really add here, just wanted to gush about this and send some people in their direction if you havent seen it already. what a guy.
   
6. why do digital libraries make you loan books? its online dumbass.
