Maybe in boutique markets, the name sounds kinda familiar.edit: Wait, we pay for this service where we get a box of snacks from around the world, one country each month. mostly for the kids. Pretty sure we got a bag of Fox brand cookies when we got England a few months back.

will look for them here, we get a lot of us imports in Nigeria. I'm going back to Keto soon, I'm just waiting to be a little less stressed with work. You can always tell when I am making decisions, I spend a lot of time posting here. Strangely be it trolling or just posting, KMC is cathartic to me. I even used to find our flame wars a release from the stress of life. Ha, you helped me get through a divorce old pal.
few here remember those days, when an unstoppable force met an immovable object 😂
Originally posted by Bashar Tegmost of them were kids or barely adults. It's such a long time ago. People like you, Rob, Pr, Blake we've interacted with each other for more than a decade and a half. It's strange, we've watched many of the younger members here grow up.

Originally posted by Bashar TegAt one point I'd moved out was living in a bedsit and was very angry as I was arguing over access to the kids. So I'd come on here stir shit up and relax. I couldn't sleep for a bit so I'd troll for hours. It is what it is. She thought I'd been cheating, I hadn't. I don't do that. Buy you guys in the US were awake when everyone in the uk was asleep. KMC was like a public service for me.

i was working for my 2nd production artist job for shit pay inside a complete shithole. graduated uni with an art degree weeks after 9/11, which for my degree was as good as hitting a brick wall. it was a shitty time to have a new art degree (or any new degree really), people were being taken advantage of, and so I dealt with my own shit-job frustration by wasting company time on the internet.
Originally posted by Bashar Teg😂 Not laughing at the shit time for an art degree or shit pay. Just laughing at how none of us have a clue about what's going on for others here till much later most of the time.

Originally posted by Bashar TegHaha, I don't think the magically is surprising. I think our core ideals are both decent.
it's funny because you utilized me, and in doing so you helped me achieve my own petty ulterior goal. then our situations improved, and magically we got along. all coincidence of course 😂
So Whirly, Foundation:
Spoiler:
Do you think The Mule was a metaphor for what Asimov was seeing with growing emotional manipulations through the radio and such, as he saw the propaganda efforts of past World Wars? Ebling Mis claimed emotional manipulation would divide the world into labor classes and The Mule's descendants.We have that now, as we had it then. They need no mutant powers, only a platform and an audience.

Different Mule.
The one from Foundations is
Spoiler:
a mutant with the power to control emotions, and uses it to conquer the galaxy.
Foundations in general is heavily inspired by the fall of the Roman Empire. But I can't think of anything from ancient history that fits the Mule's profile, while there are plenty of examples in the days of mass media.
