4 April, 2017
Today, on the fourth minute of the fourth hour of what will hereupon be known as Victory Day, which happens to be the fourth day of the fourth month of 2017, at HITS' headquarters, the representatives of the respective high commands of various books across Southeast Asia, Central America, and Northern Europe have signed the papers declaring their unconditional surrender, thus bringing the war to an official end. We allow ourselves a period of rejoicing, but let us not forget for a moment the toils and efforts of those fallen, those who cannot be with us today because of their great sacrifice. And let us also not forget the cruelties and brutalities perpetrated by those monsters in Stoke-on-Trent. These atrocities call for justice and retribution, and though the war has been won, we will devote our strength and resources to the complete eradication of their existence. But for today, let us savour this moment. Advance, long live the cause of freedom, and may the odds be ever in your favour!
Cynicism - "As reasoning creatures, people can gain happiness by rigorous training and by living in a way which is natural for themselves, rejecting all conventional desires for wealth, power, sex, and fame. Instead, they were to lead a simple life free from all possessions."
More or less incredible than someone thinking its a good idea to pay someone 12k to bet stale numbers at off screen books with the highest imaginable heat.
I would never be in a situation where I'd actually be having a conversation beyond: "Would you like to Supersize your meal?" And then me making a decision if this was "real life".
