a Rosicrucian adept, and therefore an expert in magiam, in necromantiam, in astrologiam, in geomantiam, in pyromantium, in hydromantiam, in chaomantiam, in medicinam adeptam, to quote the book of Azoth, which, as the Raptus philosophorum explains, was given to Staurophorus by a mysterious maiden. But the knowledge of the adept embraces other fields, such as physiognosis, which deals with occult physics, the static, the dynamic, and the kinematic, or astrology and esoteric biology, the study of the spirits of nature, hermetic zoology. I could add cosmognosis, which studies the heavens from the astronomical, cosmological, physiological, and ontological points of view, and anthropognosis, which studies human anatomy, and the sciences of divination, psychurgy, social astrology, hermetic history. Then there is qualitative mathematics, arithmology... But the fundamentals are the cosmography of the invisible, magnetism, auras, fluids, psychometry, and clairvoyance, and in general the study of the five hyperphysical senses - not to mention horoscopic astrology (which, of course, becomes a mere mockery of learning when not conducted with the proper precautions), as well as physiognomics, mind reading, and the predictive arts (tarots, dream books), ranging to the highest levels, such as prophecy and ecstasy. Sufficient information would be required on alchemy, spagyrics, telepathy, exorcism, ceremonial and evocatory magic, basic theurgy. As for genuine occultism, I would advise exploration of the fields of early cabala, Brahmanism, gymnosophy, Memphis hieroglyphics-

A huge corporation that makes a bunch of software you've likely used but never heard of, because their primary target audience is businesses and enterprises.
They also bought Sun a few years back, so they own Java as well.

Everett True is such a spot-on character, at least in the "he does what we all wish we could do" sort of way
i kind of get why people would like the comic, but if someone like True existed IRL i'd be scared of him
i kind of hate annoyance. Like, the actual emotion. How you're minding your own business doing what you want to do and then suddenly someone dislikes you.

I feel like the point is that someone like True isn't supposed to exist in real life?
Like, we all know that going around assaulting people for annoying you isn't acceptable, but it can be cathartic to watch someone in fiction do it, at least to me. And I think Condo knew that.
There are times when it's cathartic to see someone get punched. Like that's a big part of the appeal of One Piece to me, honestly, scenes like this (skip to the end for the punch or watch the whole thing for context)
but in this instance Carlos had it coming for the entire arc, he's not some random stranger
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
If we're on the subject of Daws Butler characters, I know someone who likes Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, and Loopy De Loop that way

to clarify: it's disturbing to me how something you're doing that's not illegal or directly hurting anyone can make people so mad that they'd find it cathartic to see you get beaten up
that's what i mean when i say i kind of hate annoyance

So I thought "the Opera menu button looks kinda ugly with the Windows 10 window border":
Then I realized why the fuck is Opera still using a Firefox 4-style menu button? Even Firefox gave in to the Chrome style of having the menu button on the far right of the toolbar, and Opera is based on Chrome...so it's like they want to be different for no reason. :|

I don't mind the button being there, really, but it seems kinda silly to me because they're using Chromium so that means they went to extra effort just to move the button.
I will admit to being a bit peeved some years ago when Firefox 4 introduced a button like that because it seemed like they were trying to mimic the menu button in Microsoft apps that have "ribbons" and at the time I was still a ribbon-hater.

I am genuinely envious of your ability to keep all of that in your head.
I'm not even sure I know what a ribbon is.
Or what Chromium is.
I don't trust anything Chrome though. Corporations in general are evil but Google just seems weird to me, man.
I should do the dishes.
Chromium is the open-source portion of the Chrome browser. Essentially, it's Chrome minus the few proprietary things that Google ships with the Google-branded one, like Flash and the PDF viewer.
Opera, since version 15, has been based on Chromium, so it's essentially a rebranded Chrome browser.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Google is exceptionally powerful, and that's why they're weird, and it's fine to feel uncomfortable. But I've long since accepted that any agency I as an individual can exert is negligible.
Also, there's no need for a conspiracy if the effect is written into the laws, the system, how we think of things.

@Jane: If you liked Opera 12 and earlier, there's a browser called Vivaldi that aims to be basically a modern version of that. It's still in development, but it's stable enough for everyday use, I think.
It uses Chromium's rendering engine (Blink) but the UI is written from scratch.

Would the nickname "Hoodie Ray" be seen as derogatory in the UK?
(Not that it matters, since the character I'm talking about is Centralian)
when i say probably not i really mean 'no' unless there's some UK-specific slur i'm not aware of that's being alluded to
a hoodie is just a top, there was a panic about them a few years back and some old white people started using it as a euphemism for 'chav', but that's pretty context-dependent and also dated

Yeah I was wondering about the association of hoodies with juvenile delinquency
That was never really a thing in America because here everybody wears hoodies
i remember a year or two back there was a british guy on r/mfa who had lots of really nice sportswear-inspired fits and it was amusing b/c all of the americans thought that his fits were very distinct and cool but the other british people thought he looked decidedly chav-y

Basically I was going to have Lily Weiss have a colleague named Ray whom she calls "Hoodie Ray" because he likes hoodies
One of Lily's things is that she always refers to somebody by a quirky name, like how Alistair is "Ali" or her aunt is always "Auntie Vivian" (never "Aunt Vivian")

also this is pretty funny
and kind of interesting how something like this can vary across countries

The aunt who's older than me I call "Aunt [first name]"
The aunt who's younger than me I just call by her first name

it fucks with my muscle memory
i didn't know that even had a name

but as an insult 'hoodie' was always extremely toothless, all it really does is make the person using it sound old and out of touch

'Aunt' would feel bizarrely formal, it'd be like calling my parents 'Mother' and 'Father'
