Old one on AS: >>710 Read The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Gustave Flaubert. It's a weird book full of obscure Christian sects, Ancient Gods and mythic beasts. Didn't really enjoy the mix of prose and dramatic dialogue, but still an interesting book. It's also my first Flaubert and his vivid descriptions of the Ancient world already gave me a good impression of his prosaic skill. The story is also a nice allegory of the struggle of the modern world. I just wish I had read an edition with footnotes or something, because I didn't know 90% of the Christian heretics and deities mentioned. After that I read The Three Leaps of Wang Lun by Alfred Döblin and man, I did have a hard time getting through it. Terrible prose, Döblin has a completely jarring style, weird sentence structure, he just makes up words or uses them in a wrong context, really not my taste. I have to say that some scenes in this are pretty good, especially the mass scenes of religious ecstasy and gory battle, but overall I found the plot rather lacking and couldn't quite understand the actions of the characters. I wish it had featured more Taoism instead of political revolt and intrigue. I think I will keep away from Döblin for now. >>8934 Very nice. I also think the actual pilgrimage and the pilgrim's stories, the characters he meets etc. are the highlight of this book. It's also a helpful introduction to the Jesus prayer and sometimes I resort to it, but I haven't mastered it like the pilgrim has. I also liked that it has a pretty clear guide how to read the NT regarding prayer.

Poland finally moved from splendid isolation to decisive action Yet few days ago they were unable to detect drones and missiles hitting untouchable NATO territory and random mushroom-pickers and cyclists had to do this. Now, they proudly announce they supposedly "neutralize" objects breaking Article Five of mighty NATO. I would like to see some videos of neutralisation and photos of shot down objects too, otherwise i reserve a right of doubt for myself. My theory is that all these hostile objects hit Bolanda thats why regime informed local populations that they should contact them if they find some debris. Reminder that Poland pays $15k for every single one out of 10k GI Joes rotationally stationed here. If the US of A is a good ally and takes its obligations seriously, Bolanda should give MANPADS to every one of them and send them on eastern-northern border to catch drones. MANPADS is actually the only thing that Polish MIC produces from A to Z and that US-American MIC cant produce anymore in a mass way due to loss of competency. I would also send all Polish pierdziochy ("online fighters" spamming Internet with mainstream pro-war/pro-syatem/anti-russian propaganda) to defend the country they supposedly love so much. You think its going to happen? I think it wont Fun fact: FDI in Bolanda in 2024 fell down by 60% compared to 2023 mostly because of geopolitical instability, and now regime must finally pretend it is doing something because FDI for 2025 are even lower

Sex with your pet is the best way to show them that you love them and making you into their bitch, is the best way for them to show you that they love you. My favorite dogs to get banged by are Great Danes and Mastiffs. Picture removed due to zoophilia
