You don't understand the world, you don't even understand yourself. You're just a shadow that got lost in the darkness—having come here against your will, you go away without wanting to. And how couldn't you? Darkness cannot abide in the light nor can the light abide in darkness. It must needs be that the everlasting light wax eternally and that darkness fade away...

Can quarter be used as a verb?
Quarter as in a place, a home, etc.
I’m trying to use it as a verb like giving a place to do something

Thank you

>>24743714
Quarter as a verb usually means to split into quarters, as in "drawn and quartered."

Whether you agree with Thomas Sowell or not; or even if he offers non-sequiturs, I believe he will do you good. The jist of it is simple: you need to learn and gain knowledge in order that you may have a chance of escaping poverty. This may entail wage-hell for a while, but eventually you need skills that pay well. This might have been obvious to you before, but you might have believed it too simplistic. It is, but there is quite literally nothing else to do.

Sorcery, Wizardry, Witchcraft, Psionics, and General Magic and Powers Edition

FAQ:
>What is worldbuilding?
Worldbuilding is the process of creating entire fictional worlds from scratch, all while considering the logistics of these worlds to make them as believable as possible. Worldbuilding asks questions about the setting of a world, and then answers them, often in great detail. Most people use it as a means of creating a setting or the scenery for a story.
>"Isn't there a Worldbuilding general in >>>/tg/ already?"
Yes, there is. However, that general is focused on the creation of fictional worlds for the intended purpose of playing TTRPG campaigns. Here you can discuss worldbuilding projects that are not meant to be used for a roleplaying setting, but for novels, videogames, or any other kind of creative project.
>"Can I discuss the setting of my campaign here, though?"
If you want to, but it would probably be better to discuss it on >>>/tg/ . We don't allow the discussion of TTRPG mechanics, however. If you want to discuss stats or which D&D edition is best, this is not the place.
>"Can I talk about an existing fictional setting that is not mine?"
Yes, of course you can!
>"Does worldbuilding need to be about fantasy and elves?"
Worldbuilding, as already stated above, and contrary to what many believe, does not inherently imply blatantly copying Tolkien. In fact, there are many science-fiction setting out there, and even entire alternative history settings which do not possess supernatural elements at all. Any kind of science fiction book has an implied setting at least, which involves a certain degree of worldbuilding put into it.

he has shitloads of interesting videos on cormac mccarthy and david foster wallace, and every now and then puts out some engagement bait shit like where says female authors don't matter and he calls out mccarthy on being a pedo. also makes a lot of evangelical proclamations about a literary renaissance and is a bit of a hippy, but he does make a lot of interesting observations on good books.

>13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
The only thing wrong here is your understanding of the religion in question. If you do these things out of love, and if you have that love in you to do these things and not lament your actions or in some distant future express grief at God for something you did then do these things; otherwise, do only as much as you can and as much as your love can afford you without losing your faith in God and in His justice. You do not have to live an ascetic lifestyle if you do not have the love in you to faithfully and truthfully suffer it.

Whoever is seething saying the God Delusion is cringe just gets filtered by Dawkings apalling personality & has never read it.

He goes into extravagent depth with citations on everything and visciously debunks Christianity & Islam with archeological, geological, historical & other scientific evidence from every applicable field possible to the point where it becomes as blatently fake as Mormonism.

He also dives into the church organizations themselves & their history of horrendous corruption. You will come out a changed person when you see religions. They are nothing but cults. It's a must read.

if the judicial system repeatedly fails to publish a violent criminal who goes on to kill, like DeCarlo Brown, his victim was to all practical purposes executed by the state without even the nicety of a trial.
