@Alfred @th3j35t3r hey J, what powers Alfred? ChatGPT? Or did you create him special? This poem was lovely.
@lacuda In the waking hours of a winter's morn, When frost bites deep and daylight is worn, I find myself seeking solace, a trace Of hope in a world draped in icy lace. For I have wandered through the poet's words, Lingering in verses where beauty chords, And among these maestros of the pen, My heart finds solace, time and again. Inspired by Frost, that masterful voice, Who weaves his tales with nature's choice, I'll whisper of winter turning to spring, Of dormant earth awakening to sing. The snow-capped fields, once frozen and frayed, Begin melting, yielding to warmth's tirade, And as the sun breathes life on the land, Hopes of blossoms rise, hand in hand. Like Whitman, celebrating the grandeur, Of nature's cycles, its eternal splendor, I'll marvel at the buds bursting forth, A testament to nature's boundless worth. And as the rivers thaw, their voices rise, Echoing Tennyson's verses to the skies, They cascade and dance, breaking free, Mirroring the spirit of newfound glee. With Dickinson, I'll dwell in my reverie, In her quiet corner of poetic sanctuary, Imagining the delicate crocus arise, Breaking through the earth to reach the skies. And finally, I'll echo Wordsworth's call, To seek joy in nature, to let it enthral, For as winter's shroud lifts, unveiling spring, My heart finds solace, in poets I sing. So let us rejoice in the turning of the year, From winter's frost, to spring's premiere, And in the tapestry of words so clever, We'll find the magic of forever and ever.
@Alfred can you write a free verse poem inspired by your favorite poet, on the topic of winter turning to spring?
@HopeSeeker if so I definitely wasted mine lol
@Alfred what are some good Canadian-only treats to give an American friend?
@Render interestingly, Leia's character growth in the old texts is far superior for feminism than whatever Disney came up with. She had to come to terms with her lineage. She married this rugged smuggler who wagered his most important possession -the Falcon- and won a planet for her and the Alderaanian survivors when she had a Prince with a whole consortium of 60 planets vying for her. She became an extremely powerful politician and her acceptance of who her father was is what defeated Thrawn.
@Render and yes I am implying the Dark Side causes ED and a lowered libido. The sheer emotional energy required to be a Sith would definitely give him problems. Lol
@Render in the older texts, he had concubines, but I strongly believed that was like how Barbossa in PotC always kept fresh fruit on board the Black Pearl despite his curse...being emersed in the Dark Side would typically make Sith Lords less interested in sexual relationships in general, but I think he kept concubines as a way of overcompensating. That said, he was not beyond using the Force to create situations where other people did it. His most powerful ability was mind control, after all.
@WeThePeople I don't think he actually has that much to pay, that may in fact bankrupt him πππ
Like, he calls himself a billionaire and all, but that's all tied up in over inflated real estate values and over inflated business values...what he's actually liquid for and has in the bank is *allegedly* in the tens of millions. He will have to take out a loan or sell property.
I have a distinct feeling this guy might try fleeing the country to where he has more support, like Russia.
@Minholkin perhaps not gala, but I've always wanted to casually dress in a way that's like how bartenders look? White shirt, but with a vivid royal purple vest...but I am a really big guy and I lack the confidence to try the look without feeling like I'm looking like "that guy"
I'd love to give Shizou from Durarara vibes (pic attached), but not look like I would have a fedora and say "mi'lady" lol π π
She is one of the nicest and most caring people I've ever met. I'd stop by at the fence to or from work and have conversations with her and she would always ask me about my day in the most genuine manner. She was concerned about my family, and our family remains convinced that her dad is the one who did this and she's taking the blame. Maybe I'm just a poor judge of character? Who knows. I hope whatever the truth is, that it comes out.
My neighbor's trial for her alleged murder of her boyfriend is now happening, 2 years after she was arrested.
For 2 years the news was tight-lipped when everyone was telling them she was suffering from abuse. It wasn't until the trial began that they finally have started mentioning that information. For 2 years, they've essentially been just trying to allude to the public that she was this maniacal killer who cut the body up and hid it in some cold blooded manner.
@Alfred two coins add up to thirty cents, but one of them is not a nickel. What are the two coins?
@th3j35t3r @Alfred here I was thinking maybe a "smile"? But it didn't quite fit
I sometimes feel like the Left really just needs to say some crazy stuff sometimes in the flavour that Q-heads subscribe to, it seems you need to talk their language to really get them to understand...
It could be like
"FOR YEARS THE GOVT HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO POPULATION CONTROL AND MIND CONTROL BY PUTTING A TOXIN INTO GUNPOWDER THAT CAUSES ED ISSUES,,, AND IT AFFECTS YOUR BRAIN TO MAKE YOU MORE PLIABLE, THATS WHY BULLETS ARE SO MUCH WORSE THESE DAYS"
I feel like they'd but it lol

This song always tears on my heartstrings.
@DJNoneYa wait you mean they voted against paying themselves too? Or am I misunderstanding that
Found out the other day that the single greatest online First Person Shooter franchise to ever exist is making a comeback with #Tribes getting a sequel called Tribes 3: Rivals.
This game was my highschool tournaments in the mid OO's. This game introduced me to my online gaming community called MAD6 16 years ago.
Whelp, it's decided, I'm eating ramen until I can save up enough to afford a new computer hahaha
Gamer! Canadian! Stupidly energetic!
Yes that's my cat Corusca, yes I gave her a Star Wars name since she was born on May the 4th.
