I think morality that is focused on reducing pain is the best morality.
This is because pain is the worst thing in the world.
If I had a choice between:
1. Living for 100 years, but burn alive every day
2. Not live at all, die instantly
I would never choose option 1.
So we see that life is not worth living if person lives in unbearable pain every day.
So the morality system should mainly be focused on value of reducing pain, or not increasing pain.
Pain even outweighs happiness.
Lack of great pain is prefered over lack of great happiness.
This is meassured usually by the "desire to remove current state of things".
People who lack great happiness dont rush to remove that and achieve great happiness.
But people in great pain rush to remove great pain.

"The term wu wei constitutes the leading ethical concept in Taoism.[158] Wei refers to any intentional or deliberated action, while wu carries the meaning of "there is no ..." or "lacking, without". Common translations are nonaction, effortless action, action without intent, noninterference and nonintervention.
[159][158] The meaning is sometimes emphasized by using the paradoxical expression "wei wu wei": action without action.[160] Kohn writes that wuwei refers to "letting go of egoistic concerns" and "to abstain from forceful and interfering measures that cause tensions and disruption in favor of gentleness, adaptation, and ease."[147]
In ancient Taoist texts, wu-wei is associated with water through its yielding nature and the effortless way it flows around obstacles.[161] Taoist philosophy, in accordance with the I Ching, proposes that the universe works harmoniously according to its own ways. When someone exerts their will against the world in a manner that is out of rhythm with the cycles of change, they may disrupt that harmony and unintended consequences may more likely result rather than the willed outcome.[162]
Thus the Tao Te Ching says: "act of things and you will ruin them. Grasp for things and you will lose them. Therefore the sage acts with inaction and has no ruin, lets go of grasping and has no loss."[147]
Taoism does not identify one's will as the root problem. Rather, it asserts that one must place their will in harmony with the natural way of the universe.
[162] Thus, a potentially harmful interference may be avoided, and in this way, goals can be achieved effortlessly.[163][164] "By wu-wei, the sage seeks to come into harmony with the great Tao, which itself accomplishes by nonaction."[158]"
Its kinda like the Art of War, that says how you should try to win by not doing anything.
The important Taoist principles are inaction, simplicity and living in harmony with nature.
It would be good if Christians, Muslims and Jews practiced inaction and stopped circumcising babies and killing each other.

Child spankers are the group of people in society that rejects all science and statistics about spanking, and goes against them.
Now, my debates about spanking almost never get accepted.
I assumed if they were easy to win, someone would accept, but nope.
Now, obviously, there is no scientific research that supports spanking.
In fact, non-spanked children turn out much better by far.
So one must wonder, with all these pure facts available and well known, why are there still child spankers?
The only explanation seems to be that parents are turned on by spanking. They find some sadistic pleasure in it.
Anyone sane knows that you train animals with rewards, not punishments.
And children are smarter than animals, so rewards work even better on them.
But sadistic child spankers cannot resist!
They are ready to go against all science just so that they could abuse children.
And I am not even talking about minority in society, but majority in society.

Now, I was thinking,
What would happen if someone accepted "Its wrong to kill others" as his moral value?
He would be banned from killing even in self defense. He wouldnt be able to kill anyone under any circumstance.
Was this Jesus's morality while he was on Earth? Jesus did not kill any other person, but he did kill animals and he did damage property.
However, even when faced with torture and death, he refused to kill those who wanted to kill him.
So one must wonder, does Bible teach how self-defense is wrong?
And if so, why dont Christians follow that teaching?

Christian God is usually defined as all powerful being, the infinite being or simply uncreated creator. Often he is described as totally good in the Bible.
1. There is no explanation for the existence of God
Some religious people have said that God is eternal and uncreated.
This is logically impossible, as eternity cannot exist and cannot be realized in any way. In fact, eternity cannot come into existence, as eternity by definition means "no end", so to come into existence, it would have to have an end. A logical contradiction.
For God to be eternal, past would have to be eternal, which is logically impossible, as with eternal past, we can never logically reach the present.
In eternity, number of causes would be infinite or there would be no cause at all, which in both cases would mean that there would be no actual cause to anything and things wouldnt need a cause in order to exist.
So God being eternal or timeless is impossible.
There is also no way to explain how eternity is even possible, as eternity by definition cannot be caused. So nothing can create eternity, making eternity uncaused.
As a result, there is no way to explain how God came into existence or why a different God or Gods doesnt exist instead.
But even if eternity was possible, it would work for atheism as then our world could simply be eternal and need no God.
2. There is no explanation for what causes God to do things
Why would God do anything? There is no reasonable explanation as to why God would create this world or any world. There is no cause which causes God to change, to act, to create. So a God would not create nor act.
3. The problem of perfection
A perfect being would create the most perfect world possible. Every part of that world would be perfect. Every rapist would be the perfect creation of God.
There is no explanation as to why the greatest and most perfect being would create a world filled with evil and non-perfections and random situations happening to random people.
Since each of us can imagine a better world, there is no logical explanation as to why a morally perfect and all powerful being created an unperfect world.
If you claim that this world is morally perfect, then you concede that every rapist is a morally perfect being.
Since world can only be morally perfect or morally unperfect, there is no 3rd option to save Christians.
So they must either concede that their God created a morally unperfect world, or concede that every rapist is a morally perfect being.
To make matters worse for Christians, they invented heaven.
Why would God put people on Earth, and then send them to heaven?
Why not send them to heaven immediatelly?
4. There is no way to justify punishing evil
If creating evil is a good action, then there is no way to justify punishing evil.
So God who created evil people would have no justification to punish them, as God himself creates evil.
Further, if creating evil is a good action, then all evil people are good.
5. Unjust disproportional world
Our world is filled with injustice and unjust treatment. In fact, randomly, good things happen to bad people, and bad things happen to good people, all at the completely disproportional random rate.
A perfect being would be perfectly proportional. Its creation would also be perfectly proportional. Why perfect being would create this random disproportional imperfection remains a mystery.
6. Disproportional punishment
Christian God does not follow "eye for eye" justice system that he said it should be followed in the Old Testament.
In fact, God of the Bible punishes majority of people with eternity of infinite pain of burning alive, when most of them didnt cause so much pain to anyone.
The punishment which God uses is infinitely disproportional to the sins committed, which contradicts the Bible's claim that God rewards according to deeds.
He punishes great majority of people with eternal great pain of burning alive, when those people in most cases did no such thing to anyone.

Okay, so there has been a theory that life is just a game that you chose to play and that when you were born, you entered the game and the game started and when you die the game will end and you will exit the game.
Here is what I dont understand about that theory.
I usually prefer easy games.
But my life seems to be a game played on hardest possible difficulty.
I have autism, depression. I am anti social. I am map. I was circumcised. I have tiny dick that is also bent downwards. I dont look good. I am also rather poor.
So if life is a game, why did I choose to play as this character?
It makes no sense. Did I do it to test my gaming skills? Well, my gaming skills are pretty bad in this life, so I am not really sure why would real me outside of the game choose hardest difficulty?
Did I do it on a dare?

I am a polytheist, but I know that religion is utter nonsense.
Its just that sometimes I feel a need to believe in fairy tales.
I can pray to Jesus, but at the same time recognize that he is a cruel madman because under his power most people go to Hell to burn alive.
There is no way to justify his cruelty.
Now, pascal's wager is based on fear, but Pascal's wager favors polytheism over monotheism.
One could even say that Pascal's wager favors atheism, as the most logical God would favor logical atheists over religious people.
Most religious people are crazy, and to think a logical God would prefer crazy people over logical people is nonsense.
Further, to think that logical God would prefer religious people is nonsense, as religious people demonized God and turned God into a monster.
Religious people turned God into a monster who tortures people eternally with disproportional cruel punishments. They made God in their own cruel twisted image, because they themselves are cruel twisted monsters.
They made God into a servant who solves their personal issues, serves them, gives them free gifts, works for them to make them eternally happy and tortures their enemies with greatest pain for all eternity.
In other words, they turned image of God into an image of an idiot that doesnt make sense from God's perspective in any way, as God would have no reason to do any of what religious people think and hope he would do.

I say Gods, because we cant exactly be sure what is real when it comes to religion.
But most Gods are either:
1. Gods of pleasure
2. Gods of charity
Kinda like Satan and Jesus.
So here is the deal I want to make with these 2 types of Gods.
If my buisness happens to be successful, 10% of profit goes to charity.
So its in Jesus's interest that this buisness succeeds.
Also, if my buisness happens to be successful, I am gonna buy myself expensive things.
So its in Satan's interest too that this buisness succeeds.
Thats the deal, so I hope Gods favor me.

Recently, I watched news about Christian woman and her trans daughter.
Her trans daughter killed herself.
The Christian woman blamed left wing brainwashing for her daughter's suicide.
Now, as soon as I saw the woman, I noticed she was fat, which indicates bad mindset.
The woman admitted that she didnt support her daughter in being trans, and that she tried to change her.
Then after her daughter committed suicide due to lack of support, the woman blamed left wing brainwashing for what happened.
Maybe the Christian woman didnt understand what she did wrong. She still doesnt.
She destroyed her daughter's dream, and as a result, her daughter killed herself.
Then to avoid blaming herself for her daughter's suicide, she blamed the left wing.
Fat people and Christians often have a habbit of blamimg personal failures on others.
"I am not fat because I choose to eat a lot. I am fat because society forced me to buy unhealthy food".
Yeah, nothing says reasonable mindset like fat Christian woman!

Greater good can pretty much be used to justify anything.
In muslim countries, they beat you up if you drink alcohol.
They justify it by saying how its better for society if people dont drink alcohol.
Of course, I stand on the side of freedom because I like alcohol and I like freedom.
I like freedom even if its a bit harmful for society.
Individual can choose to do things that harm him. Like that, society too can accept things that harm society a bit.
Thats freedom and democracy. Its self-determination.
Just as individual has a right not to be part of society and right to self-determination, so does society have right to determine what will be allowed and what will not be allowed in the society as long as it affects society. But society can allow harmful things. Its called freedom. Not everything thats harmful needs to be banned, otherwise we would be in a slippery slope where we would ban almost everything from sugar to smoke.
Praise freedom!

I dont mean to start any debate here.
I am just curious as to what convinced you that God exists or if you are atheist, that he doesnt exist.
I know for atheists, there is problem of evil, and the problem of who created God.
While for religious, there is uncaused cause and the need for the creator of laws of the universe.
So, other than these, what exactly convinced you that there is God? Or if atheist, what convinced you that there is no God?

Just a decade ago, everyone would say that DSLR is far superior to smartphone camera.
And for the most of the smartphone history, that claim was correct.
Smartphone for a long time was just there to take simple low quality photos and videos.
It had no any special settings. Photos were often blurry. In low light, quality significantly decreased. Videos werent as smooth as in DSLR.
However, in the past decade, smartphones took a huge improvement.
Shutter speed is crucial for quality of photos and videos.
The main difference between DSLR and smartphone for a long time was that smartphone didnt let you control shutter speed.
In the past decade, smartphones got the option to control shutter speed manually, and this basically put smartphones on equal ground to DSLR.
It allowed people to control the main settings, as shutter speed determines if you want movement blur or not.
With high enough shutter speed, there is no blur in photos or videos.
Whats also important to note is that unlike DSLR, the smartphone can simply be updated from settings. The update further improves camera quality with each new update. After you buy smartphone, smartphone gets better over time with updates.
DSLR doesnt.
I have been comparing photos of different DSLR cameras to latest smartphone cameras today.
The difference in quality is no longer noticable.
So, why would someone pay extra money for DSLR, when smartphone is now just as good?
The new smartphones have 200 megapixel cameras, can record 8k video...
I guess the only difference would be sensor size. But that difference is simply not noticable anymore in quality of photos and videos.

I read that a man has to drink about 3-4 liters of water per day.
My brain is big, so I guess I am more in the 4-5 liters category.
Anyway,
I am awake for 12 hours.
I need to drink 4 liters of water daily.
Per hour, that is
4000 / 12 = 333
So I need to drink 333 mililiters of water every hour.
However, I chose to drink water every 2 hours.
So I need to drink 666 mililiters of water every 2 hours for 12 hours to drink 4 liters of water daily.
I also read that B12 vitamin is very important for brain. So I figured, if I take lots of Vitamin B12, my brain power could even be restored to its former glory.

Most people dont know how to raise kids.
Thats why most kids are pure idiots.
In fact, in China, parents beat their children if they have bad grades.
Are Chinese people smart as a result? No. Chinese people are idiots who live in dictatorship and eat dogs and work 84 hours a week for 200$ a month.
Now when we are done away with failed system of China, lets move onto something less violent and more successful.
The basic of parenting is trade.
If you want for your kid to do homework, offer him a reward.
Reward for every homework. Reward for every good grade. Reward for good behavior.
Its called trading. Its the solution to parenting problems of today.
Most parents in China think they own their children, and that they can command children by force.
But really, if people just abandoned the idea that they own their children, China wouldnt be such a shitty place to live in.

1. Redistribution of wealth
I think the government should redistribute wealth from upper classes to lower classes. Lower classes who cant afford education, food, water, house, medicine, should get them for free.
2. Public schools
I oppose to the idea of public schools. I think private schools payed for by government are better in every way.
3. State regulated economy
I believe that state should not own factories or farms, but should indeed regulate them to create higher quality products, to cut out undesirable production, and create safer work environment.
4. State owned market
I believe the state should buy some products from the market, and then distribute them as needed. State should even act as buyer and seller.
In a way, there should be state owned market where state buys products from producers and then sells them at a lower price than it bought.
State should help buisnesses who cant compete on a private market by buying their products, assuming their products are desirable by the people.
5. Price control
I believe state should not control prices of private buisnesses. Rather, state itself should be run like a buisness.
6. Local governments
I believe that central government should deal with general rules, while local companies should act as local governments who put those rules in effect.
7. Obligation to work
I believe that anyone using government services of free food, healthcare, housing and education should have obligation to work and produce. Refusing to work would mean that those government services are no longer available.
Government should always operate on a principle of "service for service".
8. Trade in everything. Government investment in buisness.
I believe the government's role is that of a trader. Government cannot simply drain economy, but must give something to economy too.
We all know that buisness needs money to be started. Not everyone can start a bigger buisness. But thanks to government sponsoring him, they can.
9. Printing money
I believe in money printing. Every economy benefits from money supply increasing, because that is what allows growth.
To keep the amount of money always the same would mean that any new buisness starting would have to take away money from some other buisnesses on the market. When amount of money increases, so does market.
It is of no surprise that all big economies print lots of money.
10. Military
I believe that military is a priority. The main priority is to build your country in a way that no one wants to invade it.
This includes keeping neutral relations with all, building a military power so that any invader would suffer greatly, and building "no profit" principle in which invader cannot profit in any way from invasion. Also, building trade so that all countries benefit from being in good relations with your country.
Also, not engaging in external wars. There is no reason to make enemies.
11. Government as a buisness
Government should offer money for services that need to be done.
If government needs someone to manage healthcare, government should hire private companies to work for the government.
If private company gets the job done, it gets payed. If not, then it doesnt get payed.
The competition among private companies working for government would drive progress and keep them in check.
The principle of "citizen report" should be seen as crucial, as citizens are the eyes of the government.

To me it seems kinda strange,
that someone would make a porn game in such quality and size, invest so much in graphics and character creation,
But the only sex thats included in it is straight sex!
First what comes to mind is...
Gay people make at least 3% of the population, which is over 240 million people in the world.
It seems strange to intentionally make porn game unwanted by 240 million people by excluding gay stuff.
From what I see, the game lets you make male characters and female characters, but there is simply no option to have 2 male characters have sex.
I mean, how can a company that makes porn games be homophobic?
Anyway, given how technology is advancing, in 20 years men wont even need real women because best women will all be virtual.

Semen production is related to mood, but most people spill their seed through masturbation and kinda run out of seed in their testicles.
So, how to keep the mood you had before orgasm?
One must increase the semen production so it is restored quickly.
To increase semen production, one must:
1. Drink a lot of water, usually lots of water at once
This might be the reason why drinking plenty of water at once improves mood. Dont drink more than 700 mililiters at once tho.
2. Vitamins, such as B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E
These vitamins increase semen production
3. Sleep
Sleep improves semen production
4. More green vegetables, such as spinach
5.Edging
6. Eating eggs, bananas.

I saw many people who:
1. Decided to have some goal
2. Failed to achieve that goal
3. Got badly disappointed
As we can see, the disappointment could have been avoided if step 1 was never taken.
In other words, dont have goals or attachments.
I know that your attachments are your weakness.
Think of it this way.
If you are addicted to drugs, you will suffer if you dont have drugs.
But if you never get addicted to drugs, you dont suffer when drugs are no longer available.
An attachment is a need for something. When you create a need for something, you will suffer when you lose that something.
But if you have no need for something, you will not suffer if that something is no longer there.
So,
the pain from losing something
is created by our need for that something.
So to remove pain, one must remove need.
But how does one remove need?
Does one simply accept different needs that are easier to satisfy?

In Capitalism, there is the so called "supply and demand" theory.
It is a theory that price of a product is determined by its supply and the demand for it on the free market.
Here are the three problems of the free market.
Problem 1 - Demand greater than supply
If demand is greater than supply, every economist will tell you that prices must go up.
Problem 2 - Demand equal to supply
If demand is equal to supply, prices again go up because anyone selling products at lower prices will quickly run out of them, and those who sell at higher prices will become the only sellers and will earn more money.
Problem 3 - Demand lower than supply
Many economists falsely believe that if demand is lower than supply, that prices go down.
That is far from reality.
When supply exceeds demand, what happens is not that prices go down, but capitalists reduce production to reduce supply.
After supply is reduced and becomes equal to demand, we again have Problem 2.
Also, there is the cost of production effect where even if supply is higher, price cannot go down as cost of making a product wont allow it.
Therefore, we see that in free market, even the most ideal circumstances dont enable any reduction in prices in the long run.
Average prices always must go up because every seller works to have demand for his product greater than its supply.

Have you ever been to some poor country and thought:
"Things are really cheap here. My dollar buys much more in a poor country than it does in a rich country."
Congratulations! You just discovered basis of economical global exploitation!
So how does it work?
Due to exchange ratio of currencies and as well as prices,
Rich country pays much less when importing from poor country
than poor country does when importing from rich.
This creates an effect where even with equal amount of money or equal amount of things bought,
rich country can buy more and drain more resources from poor country
than poor country can buy and drain from rich country.
Of course, one could say that the rich country offers better quality products. That may sometimes be true, but it isnt true in exchange ratio of currencies.
It also often isnt true in prices either. An apple is cheaper in poor country than in rich country. Now, one cannot put on a serious face and say that apple from rich country is better in quality than apple from poor country. Apples are somewhat same. The price isnt even close to being same.
This is also because poor countries have cheaper labor force.
Poor countries also depend upon rich countries for trade. Only rich countries with high technology can provide good military equipment.
This means that poor countries are forced to enter in trade in which the exchange ratio of products is simply not even close to being equal.
Technologically advanced countries always have trade ratio which is in their favor.
In fact, the trade ratio is so much in rich's favor that poor countries sink even more in poverty as their resources are taken by rich countries on a mass scale.
Remember that Gaddaffi was killed for rejecting US dollar exchange ratio and set his own ratio of exchange.

What is the single biggest mistake of Christians?
The Old Testament.
The New Testament is somewhat okay, even tho the bloodthirsty nature of Jesus is revealed in revelation when he kills the entire planet again.
But The Old Testament should have never been included in the Bible.
God of the Old Testament is literally crazy maniac.
God sending bears to kill children?
Yeah, that probably should have been excluded.
I am just saying that bloodthirsty Jesus is much more bloodthirsty in the Old Testament.
The New Testament paints Jesus as "nice chill guy who forgives everyone, then later comes to kill entire planet again and burn people alive for all eternity".
But in the Old Testament, God doesnt have the nice chill guy side to him.
So I guess The Old Testament and Revelation should have been excluded, as well as parts showing Jesus's bloodthirsty side which isnt exactly acceptable in this century, but probably was acceptable in Jesus's time.
Yeah, I dont see how can "love others as yourself" be consistent with Jesus's bloodthirsty nature, but I am not Christian nor psychopath to be able to understand this.

People burn more calories when awake.
People burn less calories while sleeping.
Person on average burns 83 calories per hour while awake.
But only 50 calories per hour while sleeping.
So if you sleep for 16 hours instead of 8, you can save up to 250 calories each day.
83 - 50 = 33 less calories per hour.
16 - 8 = 8 extra hours of sleep
8 x 33 = 264 calories saved

Edging is probably one of the most potential powers when it comes to masturbation.
Edging simply means delaying or avoiding orgasm.
But how does one do that?
Well, first we need to know that penis can be soft, hard, or somewhere in the middle. This is very important to know.
To do edging properly, you need to avoid touching penis when penis is hard or close to hard.
Only touch penis when its soft and when you have no feelings in it.
As soon as it becomes hard or close to hard, there is much higher chance of orgasm if you keep touching it.
So, touch penis when its soft. Avoid touching hard penis.
What are the benefits of edging?
Well, you can masturbate all day without having an orgasm.
You will constantly feel good because there wont be orgasm to ruin everything.
It takes some time to master. Remember to write down about your experience so you dont forget important details.

Okay, time for science.
"Happiness" is a group of hormones that are produced, stored and released by your body.
When they are released, you feel happy.
However, there is a catch. They are not unlimited in supply.
If you use too much of happy hormones, what happens is that you "run out of happiness".
The condition where you run out of happiness is when you become very happy for a short time, using up all your happiness supplies. Then after happiness supplies run out, you cannot be happy anymore until supplies are restored by production of hormones.
To prevent yourself from "running out of happiness", you must use your happiness carefully.
If you engage in activities that bring too much happiness, you will use up your happiness supply really quickly.
Take for example, when you listen to music. The more you listen to music, the less happier it makes you. At first, its great, but later it just doesnt make you happy anymore. Thats because you used up all your happiness supplies.
So in order to have good amount of happiness supplies, you must first understand that happiness supplies last longer if you use them less.
If I try to do activities that make me happy all the time, what will happen is that they will stop making me happy.
However, if I spend time doing boring activities, I wont be using my happiness supplies, allowing them to be increased during boring activities to be used later. Then when I do fun activities after boring activities, they will make me much more happy than if I just did fun activities all the time without doing boring activities first.

Okay, so I finished Two Worlds main story as a mage.
Mages seem to be an overpowered class, but I havent tried completing as a knight yet.
With mages, you have spells such as overpower and concenrate, which when used combined make your next attack spell do huge damage. I think it does like 20000 damage or more.
Even final boss fight was too easy.
The spell "chains" basically stops any opponent, making him unable to move and unable to fight.
So mage can control his opponent easy.
It took me some time to figure out that certain enemies were weaker against certain spells.
I went with Earth, Fire and Air spells. I figured there wont be enemy in the game that is immune to all 3 of those. And there wasnt.
Now, final boss can kill you with one strike, but basically, you either run away to gain distance and strike with spell from distance, or you freeze him with spell chains. Chains can basically freeze him forever.
Now, I did start the game again, this time as a knight.
But I really wanted to try Two Worlds 2.
So I didnt proceed with playing as a knight in Two Worlds, but went straight for Two Worlds 2.
Two Worlds 2 is obviously somewhat better graphics. It does feel closer to Skyrim graphics.
I started it as a mage, since mage seems to be good in first game.
Now, you have to make your own spells, which I find slightly annoying. Well, we will see how it goes.

Masturbation can lower dopamine and oxytocin. These are "happy hormones".
Masturbation can increase prolactin, which is something like a stress hormone.
"After orgasm, various studies have shown that prolactin levels increase, whereas oxytocin and dopamine levels decrease significantly [12–19, 23]."
Now, of course, many have noticed that they feel happier when not masturbating for a long time.
The longest I have gone without masturbation is maybe a month.
But its so hard.
You have to work all the time to forget about masturbation.
Sure, you feel better when not masturbating. But you also feel urge all the time.
I wonder why did God create such a nasty urge.
God, that is not funny.

Okay, so I really played the game a lot, trying to get lots of spells, and I have to say I like the game more now when I have lots of spells.
The game lets you stack spells, which is amazing.
You can find spells everywhere, and when you find the same spell again, you can add it on top of each other for more damage. It seems that you can stack as much as you want.
I can see the point of such system.
Two Worlds is different from Skyrim in a way that Two Worlds has much more potions and spells, and they are easier to obtain since you keep finding them everywhere and they are more available to buy.
What also needs to be said is that spells in Two Worlds constantly increase in damage by stacking and by leveling up.
There is also much more summon spells available, much more protection spells available.
In Skyrim, spells dont increase in damage often, and it takes a long time to get the spells that are actually good unless you use cheats.
In Two Worlds, every spell has an incredible leveling system where it increases in effect each time you level up. On top of that, you have stacking which makes even better effects.
I like the summoning spell where you summon ghost archer. Also, I like protection spell that uses mana as health, making you very tanky. Its useful since mages usually arent that tanky.

Now, some may ask why did I start with Two Worlds and not Two Worlds 2.
The reason is because I have this experience where every new game in series often ends up being worse than previous.
Also, I wanted to check the first game first.
Now, the graphics arent much, but it is in a way, an open world game.
You face all sorts of creatures. I bought the spell "push" only to find out that for some reason push doesnt work on ghosts while the basic spell fireball does. Well, spell push was a waste of money, probably. Over 1000 gold payed for nothing.
The magic starts just like in Skyrim. You get the fireball spell. And you get the heal too.
Of course, I cant wait to try new spells but one must note that they are really expensive in the game.
Now, I play the game because of the magic system. I am not really sure if any other combat system in Two Worlds is even worthy to consider. Sword combat seems to only have few moves available, and bow and arrow look awful and boring.
Game allows you to ride a horse, but the problem is that horse in the game has mind of his own. He changes directions on his own when faced with any small obstacle or enemy.
Now, the game offers plenty of magic, and thats why I play it. The magic takes some effort to obtain, since not only you must buy spells, but also learn from trainers.
I hear from lots of people that Two Worlds is a terrible, bad game. I agree that it could have been better, but I wouldnt agree that its terrible.
The game overloads you with quests right at the start, which is bad, but I guess just complete the important ones one by one.
The core of the game, magic, seems great at start and it looks like there are plenty of spells available, although not all spells are useful obviously.
I just hope this wont be one of those games where only few spells are useful. I like games with variety of ways to play, and variety of spells and powers.

Does anyone else find Bible boring?
While I was a Christian, I forced myself to read Bible because I thought Jesus will burn me alive if I dont read it all.
I have to say its one of the most boring books I have ever read.
It is filled with irrelevant information. I literally felt physical pain in my brain from reading all the stupidity that is written there.
Some might say "gospels are fun".
There are two problems with gospels.
First, gospels make less than 1% of the Bible.
Second, gospels are boring too.
Its same story being repeated 4 times in a row.
Who wants to read same story for 4 times????
God was a shitty writter. He should have used ChatGPT to write book for him. At least ChatGPT would have enough sense to exclude the story of bears sent by God to kill children, as well as many other things that God mistakenly bragged about.

So I played Fable again. This time as an evil character. I have to say evil characters are surprisingly strange. They have 3 powers that only they can master.
Berserker, drain life and something like mind control that turns enemies to allies.
I have to say berserker is really fun to play. It makes you really big and strong. It makes you unkillable, but your health can decrease to very low. The weakness is that at the end, you turn back to normal which makes you unable to move for a second, then you can cast again. Drain life doesnt seem to work on some enemies, and neither does mind control.
I completed the game as evil character and I have to say that evil character's powers dont feel as strong as they should be. Like, even berserker can be knocked down making you unable to fight.
I am saying this because before this I played many times as neutral character. With battle charge, which is a neutral power, you can pretty much beat any other power. By spamming battle charge, you basically become immune to all damage while knocking down your opponent constantly making him unable to fight.
This works as long as you have mana, but thanks to potions you basically have all mana you need.
Now, combining battle charge and berserker seems kinda unnecessary, unless you are fighting an enemy who has battle charge.
To me, it seems kinda strange that evil character didnt get more powers. The game is after all based on good and evil.
I started again as good character. Good character has shield, heal and summon.
So I picked the shield and it seems that it just turns your mana into health. It makes you very strong, you cant be knocked down, but I cant say I am too impressed.
Compared to neutral powers like Slow time, battle charge, force push, it seems kinda unfair.
Maybe Summon can make up for good character, but still I am not a fan of summoning spells in Fable because usually things you summon fight very slowly.
I feel like neither good nor evil character are perfect. It seems that neutral character beats both. Of course, in game, enemies arent exactly strong so it is possible to beat the game in many ways.
How does this game, Fable 1, compare to Fable 3? Simple. In Fable 3, all spells suck. You only have couple of spells, but nothing even close to spells like berserker and battle charge. There is no any joy in being mage in Fable 3.
I kmow that they wanted to invent something new, but Fable 3 made everything complicated. They focused on story too much and ruined combat experience.
The point of Fable 1 was to make you feel powerful and praised. In Fable 3, you are praised, but you dont feel powerful. There is nothing grand about you.

"According to European Environment Agency (EEA) early estimates, 22.5% of energy consumed in the EU in 2022 generated from renewable sources."
So the organization most dedicated to renewable energy couldnt get it right.
With only 22% of their energy being renewable, they have not only completely failed, but they are showing that even trying your best wont stop global warming. And they are the best!
Now, why cant we have renewable energy?
First, the problem is electricity.
The world runs on electricity.
However, there is no cheap way to produce electricity for 8 billion people plus countless factories.
The second problem is cars. Cars pollute the environment and cause global warming.
However, electric cars use lots of electricity, making it impossible to have lots of electric cars.
In other words, electricity is the problem.
World became so dependent on electricity that,
instead of abandoning it, which would almost immediatelly solve global warming,
They keep producing it.
However, electricity simply cannot be produced in any sustainable way.
Solar panels produce too little. Wind power produces too little.
So yeah, the problem at hand is with electricity itself.
Can humanity simply go back to era with no electricity?
Well, no. Thats why its called the point of no return. Once you discover it, you become dependent on it, and cannot survive without it.
This is what Marx describes as "negation". It is where one new thing negates the thing before it so the thing before it can no longer exist.
However, the bad news is that there is also "negation of negation".
It is the point of development where you can neither go back to how things were, nor you can keep things as they are right now.
And that point of development requires a 2nd negation. If that negation cannot be found, system collapses.
Marx was a fun guy.

History
"Dont complain about the government."
"Dont rebel against the government."
"Be satisfied with how much government pays you."
"Obey the government."
"Dont feel sad when government puts you in miserable situation, but keep serving the government."
"Each government was put there by God."
"Dont think about Earthly problems or what the government does to you, but think about your reward in Heaven"
These are teachings of the Bible.
When read this way, you can obviously see that only a pure idiot would willingly follow these teachings.
Christians have a moral duty to support every tyrannical government on Earth, because "each was put there by God".
In fact, any smart government would encourage Christianity, because Christianity literally commands people to obey the government while discouraging any kind of rational thinking.
So yes, now we have discovered the true purpose of Christianity.

I dont think that bestiality is wrong.
If someone has sex with an animal, he shouldnt be punished.
It seems wrong to punish someone just because he had sex with an animal.
This society often kills and tortures animals, so can this society really judge a person for having sex with an animal if both person and animal enjoy it?

If I have to choose between
Saving myself
Or
Saving 8 billion people while sacrificing myself
I would save myself.
I love myself the most.
There is no number of people that can be more important to me than me.
The idea that you have to sacrifice yourself to save a certain number of idiots is itself an idiot's idea.
Sacrificing yourself doesnt benefit you in any way.

Bible Matthew 7 12
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you"
Now, there are many interpretations of this particular verse. I never seem to understand.
What does it even mean?
I know what it means: "Do to others what they do to you".
But the Bible added a change.
Its not "what they do to you".
Its "what you would have them do to you".
Well, if I want for others to do whatever I want, I must do whatever they want?
But if I do whatever they want, will they do whatever I want? Probably not.
Uh
The verse doesnt help.
Now, here is another example. Lets say someone wants to kill me. I want for him to not hurt me. So by Bible's logic, I am supposed to not hurt him, just let him kill me.
Uh
Here is another example.
Lets say someone raped me. I want for him to let me be free, so by Bible's logic I am supposed to let him be free.
Uh
So...
Yeah, I can see this particular verse can be spinned into oblivion.
Why did Jesus have to make it so complicated?
Uh
Oh well.

Now, the first thing that comes to mind is side effects.
Most drugs have dozens of side effects, which for example they say happen in 10% cases.
However, thats a statistical deception.
The truth is that each of those side effects has 10% chance of occuring.
Its not 10% for all.
Its 10% for each.
So if you have a list of 20 side effects, each having 10% chance of occuring, you are basically guaranteed to get 2 side effects.
And thats just for those who used them for a short time.
However, the fun doesnt stop there.
Drugs dont come with guaranteed benefit. In fact, there is 50% chance that drugs wont work to produce desired effect.
Now, here is the really fun part.
Even if they work, drugs stops working after some time. At that point, you have to use different drugs, causing you new side effects.
To make matters worse, mixing drugs causes even worse side effects.
I see people using psychiatric drugs so casually like its nothing.
The truth is that drugs will change you, but not for the better.
Well, you should read the side effects and ask yourself: "Do I feel lucky today?".

Basically, original Christians came to polytheists and said that they should accept Jesus, which polytheists did because polytheists are allowed to worship as many Gods as possible and Jesus seemed like a fine God to worship.
However, then Christians, after gaining power, changed the whole story.
Christians from the start tried to turn polytheists into monotheists, but it was mostly just talk.
But after gaining power, Christians used force to wipe out polytheism from the face of the Earth.
Christians basically shot themselves in the foot, because Polytheists will never accept them again and no Polytheist will ever trust a Christian again.
In fact, all Christian actions did was prove that no one should trust Christians.

The bones of your ancestors will rise up and reclaim the flesh that they lent their sorry progeny. The sewers are all muddied with a thousand lowly suicides. These streets you walk lead to the spinal column of the great beast's hall. All you walk willingly into the eternal feast of the guilty! The roots of this city wrap around the Great Worm and all who live in its stinking bowels bloat themselves on apocalypse nectar. Every second takes us closer to the Time of Judgement. Time of Judgement gets closer every second. This rain is the pungent sewage of Hell seeping into the cracks of this putrid purgatory! The corruption of the soul is pandemic! There is no hiding your true face to the judge of souls! Redemption cannot be bought and sold! There is no mercy for the deviant! Gaze upon me and see reflected the contempt of your savior! To mock me is to scorn the Lord's love! The damned laugh loudest before they loose their heads! Hurry on your way to the Apocalypse! Always room for heathens in the cold and oily pits of the damned! Skies are all rotten and the storm is our death sentence! We are living in the last days of the last age of mankind! Repent your wickedness and atone in these, your last hours. I have seen the squirming on the horizon! The worms are stripping the foulness from the skull of the Earth! I have seen the face of the demon, and it is excited!

To stop kids from committing their favorite sin.
It takes a huge amount of Christian stupidity to think that circumcision will stop someone from masturbating, but Christian doctors promoted circumcision and claimed it will stop kids from masturbating.
Christianity requires faith, but problem is that when you start believing in things without proof, you start believing all sort of nonsense which is why you can expect to hear dumbest things from religious people, for example stopping masturbation being one of them.
"Being religious is not exactly a sign of great intelligence".
