I Hate That The Word “goon” Is Associated With Guys That Jerk Off To Porn All Day Now. To Me “goon”

"The story of Pemberton and Coca-Cola is widely known, the stuff of urban legend. Back then, carbonation was a big deal, requiring special high-pressure jets to force enough carbon dioxide into a solution. There was no method for reinforcing standard glass bottles, so carbonation had to be done in pharmacies with special equipment and drunk on-site. This became known as the soda fountain. Thus, Coca-Cola was originally sold only in pharmacies. But there was another reason as well.

What is not widely known is that Pemberton was a morphine addict, after being wounded in the Civil War. The reason he developed his sacred formula was a long-standing attempt to wean himself off his addiction."

The Morphine Addict, 1894 by Santiago Rusiñol (Spanish, 1861–1931)

hmm is complaining about media something women like to do? Would it be good for me if I did it more? I honestly am unable to tell

the lotr trilogy are the best movies on earth but one thing i’ll never forgive them is the complete lack of aragorn and éomer friendship. i know i already made a post abt it but i honestly cannot believe these two talked One time in the movies while in the books they became literal besties. what do you mean they promised they’ll fight together, draw swords together, upon literally their first meeting, then repeated the same promise later again and again. what do you mean “Since the day when you rose before me out of the green grass of the downs I have loved you, and that love shall not fail.” what do you mean “And wherever King Elessar went with war King Éomer went with him; and beyond the Sea of Rhûn and on the far fields of the South the thunder of the cavalry of the Mark was heard, and the White Horse upon Green flew in many winds until Éomer grew old.” LIKE HELLO?????

Calypso made some good points about the double standard between gods and and goddesses and their romances, but seriously girl.

i am fucking crazy but I am free. [yes I know quoting a LDR line is a lame cliche]

This is why you take your meds

A little too much faith in mathematics back then! At least theology gave him a beyond with which to engage in critical intercourse

“The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion.”

— Bertrand Russell, Unpopular Essays

That haiku echoes a sentiment I packed into a glyph I showed to others in 2014.
