Christ casting out the legion of Devils, Made by Bruce Connor. According to Evagrius of Pontus (345 '399), one of the greatest spiritual directors of ancient monasticism, the monk should talk back to demons with relevant passages from the Bible. His book Talking Back (Antirrhaatikos) lists over 500 thoughts or circumstances in which the demon-fighting monk might find himself, along with the biblical passages with which the monk should respond. It became one of the most popular books among the ascetics of Late Antiquity and the Byzantine East. From Talking Back we gain a better understanding of Evagrius's eight primary demons: gluttony, fornication, love of money, sadness, anger, listlessness, vainglory, and pride. We can explore a central aspect of early monastic spirituality, and we get a glimpse of the temptations and anxieties that the first desert monks faced.

Based. Every bro should spend time developing at least one good strike with their left hand and one good strike with their right hand. It's like chop sticks. Quick to learn, a lifetime to master 🥰 (and fun and worthy of focus until death).

“Equality (outside mathematics) is a purely social conception. It applies to man as a political and economic animal. It has no place in the world of the mind. Beauty is not democratic—she reveals herself more to the few than to the many, more to the persistent and disciplined seekers than to the careless. Virtue is not democratic—she is achieved by those who pursue her more hotly than most men. Truth is not democratic—she demands special talents and special industry in those to whom she gives her favors. Political democracy is doomed if it tries to extend its demand for equality into these higher spheres. Ethical, intellectual, or aesthetic democracy is death.” ~C.S. Lewis

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. — William Earnest Heneley, Invictus

Hello my good saars. My community has always helped me so I'd like to give back. Many of you may be looking for work. It's a tough economy! https://www.jobs.now/ This job site may seem like any other job listing aggregator, but there's a catch. They specifically pull job listings that the employer doesn't want applications for. When they get an H-1B jeet in the country, they have to continuously justify their stay in the US to keep them, otherwise they have to hire an American. They do this by putting out job listings and then reporting that no American citizens applied for position. The catch is, they list these ads in newspapers with very low circulation using specific wordchoice to make the ad impossible to find by search engines. The result is no one finds it, no one applies, and then the jeet gets his H-1B processed as a "PERM" granting him a green card. If ANY AMERICAN correctly applies for ANY JOB on this list, and they have the credentials to make them a reasonable applicant, it means that a jeet is denied his greencard. Literally that easy. Something in me has snapped. For the past 10 years I've been dealing with censorship from websites, from tech companies, from payment companies, across the board. I've written very thoughtful letters to companies imploring the patriotism in them to realize what they are doing, how it hurts this country, and how it is contrary to the American ideal. Now I understand. All that time, all that effort, all wasted on disgusting, head-bobbling, shit-colored 5'5 jeets. Our managerial class are jeets. They have no immortal soul. They have no capability of empathy. They don't give a fuck about us. In fact, they hate us. We will drive every fucking jeet from this country.
