It’s sad but she just wasn’t able to do well in any of the tasks. She was too ambitious with the toilet idea, and just missed the mark with the raspberry ganache. She was an awesome sport though!
I mean, if evil always shoots itself in the foot, this guy’s off to a good start. Why would you get them to agree to blame you for putting them there, and then free them? Chaotic stupid.
And then here comes Cormac McCarthy (RIP) to shit all over your idea of some benevolent god, to give you a real sense of how chaotically brutal the reality of life actually is, to question autonomy and the very notion of free-will, and to maybe, as a side-effect of literature, to make you think twice about everything you’ve assumed about the world.
Gonna miss that guy.
I don’t know why the Nobel asswipes didn’t give him the recognition he deserved.
My guess is that his work was too “American” for their tastes.
I was thinking more of “Blood Meridian,” but it’s definitely true that “The Road” tackles a lot of similar themes albeit on a more personal and isolated scale.
I think “No Country” also is a continuation of said themes, with Anton Chigur as a sort of modern incarnation of The Judge. He must own everything. Nothing can be allowed to exist or happen save by his dispensation.
He is an amoral archon, as is life and the universe itself. He is offended only by those who refuse to acknowledge and countenance the cruel and arbitrary nature of reality itself.
Decisions and random facts of chance have permanent consequences, none of which can or should be escapable. It’s offensive to The Judge/Anton Chigur that anyone might imagine otherwise.
I left reddit after a few weeks of getting any useful info off my saved list. Honesty I’ve been happier these last couple months. Now I only visit reddit( with an ad blocker, because they ain’t making a penny off me) to read help and old opinion threads when I need the info.
I’m a condo super, so I deal with the common areas but the condo units and everything inside is owned by whoever bought the unit. The worst are the landlords that own multiple units, and when anything goes wrong they tell their tenants to call me, the building super.
I have to remind those landlords that I’m the super for the corporation, and they’re the super, manager, handyman, administrator for their own units. Those landlords want to own like 10 properties and just collect the money.
I just hope the public is wising up to this. I swear, most people seem to think the wealthy still hold dollars, and can’t price inflation into loans. www.wtfhappenedin1971.com
