It is ME!
- Day 4
Please don't hang up on emergency services. Even if it is an accidental call, they don't know that. All they know is that someone was breathing heavily on the phone, and not responding when they ask questions. Then, suddenly, you disconnected, and their mind goes to the worst possible scenario. Just say that it was an accident and don't freak them out.

- Whining About Whining
Probably one of the most irritating genres of quote on here is the kind where the writer complains about the sort of quotes they don't like. I mean, you can just skip it if you don't like it, why gripe? Hang on, I'm just getting word that this is actually one of those exact kinds of quotes. Huh. Gotta say, I feel a little silly.

- Context is for kings
I did choose you, but not for the reasons you think. Your assumption that the Klingons were waiting in ambush at Binary Stars was predictive. You chose to do the right thing over what was sanctioned, even at great cost to yourself. And that is the kind of thinking that wins wars. The kind of thinking I need next to me. Universal law is for lackeys. Context... is for kings.

- the past was just completely fucking awful
A core element of fascist ideology is the idea that there was once a perfect, ideal past, that we through our degeneracy let slip away. The fascist promises to bring us back to it by being a stern ruler who will punish us for our sins. So it's important to help people understand that there was NEVER a perfect, ideal past. There was just people and their various screw-ups. And people now are fundamentally the same as people then. The clothes change, the rituals change, but people are people.

- People say, "The Internet is forever." This is not true.
Imagine if YouTube was shut down. It would be a literal tragedy for the human race. Billions of hours worth of creativity would disappear in an instant. "That would never happen!" some believe. But it already has. Remember Google+? All of it's gone forever. Or remember all that media stored on MySpace? It's vanished. We must stop depending on Big Tech to archive our data. Their mandate is to profit off our data, not preserve it.

- I was a fast-food worker. Let me tell you about burnout.
If you had to make a rat depressed, how do you think you'd go about it? To test your new antidepressant, you need an efficient method of making a lot of rats exhibit anhedonia - that is, making them lose interest in things they used to enjoy, like sugar. It turns out you don't need to traumatize them. The most reliable protocol is "chronic mild stress." ... remove all predictability and control from the animal's life. Then take notes as they gradually lose interest in being alive.

- The mirror of Erised
This mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible... It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

- Rest in peace Seamus Jr.
Here lies Seamus Jr., named for his father, the great Seamus the Wonderer, Seamus the Escape Artist, Seamus, the one who got away. We sow these berries as a sign of good faith that Seamus was one of us, that Seamus Jr. was part of the family. Seamus Jr., you were in our life for a short period of time but you change us for the better. You made me feel what it was like to be a father, you made me feel what it was like to be a failure.

- Personality Predates Ideology
People are not motivated by ideological codes. People are motivated by impulse and construct ideological codes to justify and rationalize what they were already going to do. An old professor of mine had this great thing. He said, "On the level of individuals and civilizations, personality predates ideology. Meaning before you were a fascist, you were a bully."

- Quote 1
Practicing so many times on typing faster I can really assume that one typing trick I've seen a long time ago really works. It was someone's quote which main objective was "To type faster at first focus on your accuracy." That's so true I can feel the changes now.

- Day 3
Do not go magnet fishing. I understand the appeal, and the want to find something cool, but don't go magnet fishing. You might end up finding a car in a lake and causing an investigation, and you don't want to deal with the hassle of being in an investigation. In conclusion, don't go magnet fishing.

Pour mercy, mercy on me, I'll fall upon my knees and they'll say "I told you so come on when you know, you know." All the lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave, it's a solo song and it's only for the brave. "Love is only for the brave" - Louis Tomlinson.

- I got my parcel stolen
Today, I received a message from the delivery rider saying that I got my parcel delivered. I was outside and could not receive it by hand but the rider just left the parcel without informing me. When I came back, the parcel was gone and there goes my 200$ newly bought suit. Damn you, parcel thief!
Louis Tomlinson
- only the brave pt 1
Pour mercy, mercy on me, set fire to history. I'm breaking my own rules, I'm crying like a fool. Tall stories on the page, short glories on the fade. I've been close enough to touch but I never cared for love. It's a church of burnt romances and I'm too far gone to pray it's a solo song and it's only for the brave. If the truth tell, darling you fell like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky. It's a tall tale and it's only hello, hello, no goodbye.

- Portal Generated Item - Medieval Merge (Part 2)
... It teaches me about powerful vines, capable of controlling all creatures. Advances on the field required a practical approach. It works. I command them. The monsters's raids expanded our territory. Ivan won't approve, but doesn't know. Our army celebrates as our power grows. Can't you see it!? We own this world! Truth is revealed, I'm banished from Merhein. Magic will fuel my vengeance. The voice guides me back. Hundreds of thousands march alongside me. That's how it must be, brother.
Medieval Merge
- Portal Generated Item - Medieval Merge (Part 1)
The Kingdom of Merhein. Everyone saw it for what it was. I saw it for what it could've been. A prosperous kingdom, led by a king too weak to call himself Emperor. I tried to reach him. To share my visions of conquest, of glory... But he just wouldn't listen. The bloody blind fool just wouldn't listen. For too long now I've tried to make him see reason. My patience has limits. My studies on magic have led me to a breakthrough. A voice reaches me through the portal...

- They Are Watching
This was the only way I could reach you. Listen carefully: from this moment on, you need to stay awake and type quotes as long as you can. They're watching you. They're listening to your thoughts. They'll wait for you. And when you fall asleep, they'll come for you. I can tell you how to escape their monitoring but I could only slip my messages through this website and the quotes can only be so long. Keep typing, I'll be back in touch shortly.

- Do Not Type This, I Beg You
You must trust me, I have one piece of advice and you must follow it without question: you must stop typing. What happens next if you don't is entirely your fault. Oh no... you failed the test and now you're in danger. They are making me type this. Whatever happens, do not stop typing now until I tell you otherwise. If you do not type exactly how I tell you to, you will die. They are watching. Type the next quote now. I'll be back in touch shortly.

The press can hold its magnifying glass up to our problems, bringing them into focus, illuminating issues heretofore unseen. Or, they can use that magnifying glass to light ants on fire and then perhaps host a week of shows on the sudden, unexpected dangerous flaming ant epidemic.

- Draksi's Temptations
At the edge of the room was a small, white, and round metal-cast table. Set upon its top were five small dishes, each holding expertly crafted pastries. Each was different, displaying appetizing morsels and vibrant fruits. One pastry was a cherry tart; its syrup oozing over the edges onto the plate it rested upon. My appetite had peaked and my stomach began to speak to me. I haven't eaten in three days; a result of being tied to this chair and forgotten about...
