Maybe one of us is right about the world. Maybe we're all wrong - but it doesn't matter, because we're in it together.

And kittens rule tyrannically over us all with equal quiet disdain.

Under that very article, tons of people where arguing that it was just all Taqqyia/Islamic propaganda.

Willfull ignorance and cognitive bias can be very hilarious.

Kronos has used in media res.

It's super effective!

The audience has fainted.

Then text him, or follow him into Crowley's office, or follow NEI's characters to Ireland or something.

At least he didn't use magical realism, like you Latinos seem to enjoy.

I read this as "point me/ask out Const", and was very confused because you never struck me as the swinger type.

Vicente Fox was awesome. He was an idiot with a narcissistic disorder, but he was awesome.

Magical realism is...odd.

Fun enough to read, but it must be utter shit to analyse.

One of the magical realism books I know is Chronicle of a Death Foretold.

Which was a trip, I'll tell you.

We had to analyze it once in sophomore English class.

Yes, yes it is. To both things, of course. Had it not been fun enough to read I wouldn't have made it to the end of A Hundred Years of Solitude.

Or whatever it's title is in English. I think that's it but meh.

That is the right title.

I would joke with a colleague of mine that perhaps those books are only confusing in English because there was a shit translator, and that they were just really straight forward in Spanish.

Then a Cuban friend of mine confirmed "No, they're just as bad in Spanish."

No, that would be "jodedores."

Jodidos means fucked. In plural, specifically.

Seriously, you guys should read this one.

It's quite interesting. An Arab guy ends up being a Jesus knockoff, for a start.
