Jason Arday situation doesn’t sit right with me.
I could honestly give a damn if he plagiarized his work, even if everything he ever did was plagiarized he didn’t deserve the hatred and vitriol he received. I went to look at the academia and professors subreddits on accidents when looking at his name. The way they dragged this man through the mud and acted like he was just weak for dying. Makes it clear that we really have no allies out here.
Save Halal Cart
Halal food cart apparently has a petition up. City wants to get rid of the late night food vendors which includes them. Some of the only options available for late night workers like nurses, cops, and others.
I get annoyed with how people try to paint North Africa as historically Arab when it’s logically not.
All humans came out of Africa, people went north and intermixed with and conquered the other human species and then changed genetically. Arab populations would have had to come back into the region thousands of years after the fact, but it was already populated.
This is notwithstanding the historical facts that it was populated by dark skin African people. I don’t believe the story that race doesn’t matter because it’s a social construct and it didn’t exist back then because race mattered a lot when we were told we were without a history.
This is for all the people saying Gullah Geechie this or that, or that we ain’t African. You’re making people life hard!
What’s the obsession with slave contracts?
Tired of so many novels having a random hot woman voluntarily enter into slave contracts with the MC and then fall in love with him. It’s so weird
What is the name of tremendous’ new novel?
reddit.comHow yall feel about respectability politics? The conversation about Tuskegee has me thinking.
I’ve been at fortune 50-5 level companies and have seen white engineers wearing cargo shorts and dirty t shirt having extensive tattoos including on the neck. I’ve also been to PWI and seen students wearing pajamas and slippers and gym shorts and it’s no problem.
So why do we get judged for what we wear more harshly then our counterparts? I feel like we as a people tried the suit and tie and dress to impress methods and they still lynched us. Why not give the kids freedom to try something different.

Don’t let them tell you slavery was distant past. We have the children of slaves on video.
What do yall think about the Caitlin Clark and angel Reese stuff?
It’s extremely racist to me ngl. Just look up angel Reese name on this site and you’d think she was the worse person ever. I’m tired of the great white savior trope in sports and Clark should call that Bs out like Larry bird did.
The Eighth Ender: from Q&A 12
Enders
Q: You said it was possible for an eight being(not an Ender) to be brought with the Enders, right? In that case, could they start somewhere other than the body of Emptiness Supreme Deity?
A: That is impossible. That place is where they are expelled from the Audience Chamber.
Q: Can the next generation of Enders arrive even if the eighth tagalong doesn’t die?
A: Yep. But Heuk Sa might try killing them…
Q: Can the eighth Ender even be called an Ender instead of just somebody from another world?
A: Ender has very many meanings, but one of the meanings is ‘a person whose fate in their original world has ended’. If they died in their home world, they are an Ender.
Q: Would the eighth Ender be screwed over by Heavenly Rejection as well?
A: The eighth Ender can be brought in for multiple reasons, and one of them could be because one of the Enders had the ‘ability to bring someone from another world’. If they were brought in by an Ender’s ability like that, they would be affected by Heavenly Rejection, but if they fell in for a different reason, they would not be affected or be less affected than Enders.
Q: I heard that the eight Ender has a high chance of receiving a past Ender’s inheritance, but how does that work?
A: An eight Ender is treated as foreign substance by Mount Sumeru, giving them an extremely high affinity for Ancient Force that has been kicked out from the history of Mount Sumeru. Misery loves company.
Q: What’s the ratio of Enders having another Ender as lover for their beginning, development, twist, and conclusion, like Kim Yeon or Kang Min-hee?
A: Around one out of ten sets of Enders are guaranteed to have it.
Q: Is the eighth Ender perfectly a human in qi, soul, and fate?
A: The Origin Essence of Miracle cannot be predicted in any way, so they would be brought along for unknown reasons. So they could be a perfect human, or a part of an Absolute Fragment that got separated and pretending to be human.
Q: Has any eighth Ender reached Supreme Deity?
A: None. The first person from another world to reach Supreme Deity is Seo Eun-hyun.
Q: Is it ‘theoretically’ possible for the eighth Ender to become a Supreme Deity and then become the Life Supreme Deity(True Emperor of History)?
A: Yes.
Q: Is the eighth Ender also treated similarly to Enders? Like, in terms of stuff like Ender only arrangement, treatment from the Eight Radiance Immortals, and Heavenly Rejection.
A: Yes.
Q: If there is an eighth Ender, what fate does that Ender receive and what do Supreme Deities and Heavenly Venerables think of the eighth Ender?
A: The Fragments of Miracle are chaos itself, so even I do not know what the fate of eighth Ender affected by that is. Enders are always irregular so they do not care if they are 7 or 8. Underworld was fascinated too, but it’s something she saw happen multiple times, so she is not that interested about it anymore.
Q: If the eighth became a True Immortal and helped the official Enders, does that help also become calamity?
A: Yes.
Q: Has any eighth Ender reached True Immortality?
A: Yep.
Q: What’s the ratio of eighth Ender being brought in?
A: Around 5%? Not that common, just happens sometimes.
Q: What is the eighth Ender called? (Like Lapis, Silver, etc)
A: By default Coral, but their theoretical peak is Supreme Deity rather than Heavenly King, so it is meaningless.
Q: Can the eight Ender go to the Underworld after death?
A: That is a matter of randomness.
Q: What does the Future King think of the eighth Ender?
A: From the Future King’s perspective it is impossible to completely distinguish if it is due to the fate of the Enders, so he is annoyed.
Q: You said that there was an Ender who introduced democracy to Mount Sumeru. Did True Immortals and random buglike cultivators all equally have 1 vote each?
A: It was Ancient Greece style democracy. If I recall correctly, the value of votes was different in their republic…
Q: Other than Obsidian Heavenly King, the motif for the other 6 were revealed to be Skanda, Ucchusma, Bhaisajyaguru, Renwang, Mahāsthāmaprāpta, and Asura. So what is the motif for Obsidian Heavenly King?
A: Mara Papiyas.
Q: Did anybody in the first generation of Enders even succeed ascending? Nevermind True Immortality.
A: The first generation of Enders all died from infectious disease within 4 years of arriving. After all, it is easy to catch a disease coming from another region. Actually, the vast majority of Enders died in a similar manner. The famous Enders appear great because they survived.
Q: What were the initial generations of Enders like?
A: The average lifespan of initial generations was within 50 years.
Q: How does Radiance Hall treat the eighth Ender? Did any Ender officially become a part of radiance all without being turned into Immortal Treasure?
A: They are treated the same way, but it is harder to catch them because they are harder to find than other Enders. No Ender joined officially.
Q: Is it possible for an Ender to become a Heavenly King with just Primordial Origin Immortal Cultivation?
A: Yes.
Q: Was there an Ender that spread idol culture into Mount Sumeru?
A: Uh…. It is highly likely.
Q: Who were the guides for Silver Basket, Vast Cold, Obsidian and Yang Su-jin?
A: Silver Basket -> killed the guide because they were annoying
Vast Cold -> the guide could not understand Vast Cold and ran away
Obsidian -> wife
Yang Su-jin -> Zhengli
Q: Were there cases where an Ender had the same guide as one with the same fate in the previous generation? Or with a different fate?
A: There are cases where they had the same guide. And depending on direction of fate, they become guides for different types of Enders as well.
Q: What authority did the Ender that first became a Heavenly King even have, to be able to become one during the peak of Radiance Ten Heavens?
A: Creation of all things.
Q: Have there been machine Enders?
A: Yes.
Q: Top 5 strongest Heavenly Kings
A: In terms of strength?
- Tridacna Vast Cold Heavenly King
- Silver Basket Heavenly King
- Obsidian Devil Heavenly King
- Golden Speed Heavenly King Kim Young-hoon
- The Agate who was the original owner of the Artificial Computation Device tied with Kim Yeon
Q: Any Ender inheritance that we did not see?
A: A lot of them. Those spears stocked up by Radiance Hall are all made with them.
Q: Why did Jeon Myeong-hoon and Yang Su-jin both have Heavenly Golden Thunder Body despite having different authorities?
A: Because they are similar when brought down to plane of qi.
Q: The Ender with the deepest sins? And what kind of things they did.
A: The Agate who was the owner of the Artificial Computation Device. I will just say that they committed ugly sins related to children…
Q: Does Radiance Hall immediately kill Enders that start with abilities that mess up the whole world, like Made in Heaven?
A: Yes. They sometimes put an executor in front of Head Realm to catch and kill them as fast as possible. To kill them immediately when they ascend.
Q: Can there be cases of an Ender’s ability being solidified and used as Immortal Treasure?
A: Yes there are.
Q: Could an Ender gain information about Mount Sumeru through media such as novels before coming to Mount Sumeru?
A: It could be possible, if the ability originating from the Absolute Fragment is related to that. Also possible for the eighth Ender.
Q: Could Yang Su-jin, Obsidian, and Vast Cold withstand a 1000 years inside a puppet when they were in Qi Building stage?
A: Yang Su-jin would go mad. Obsidian can do it without problem. Vast Cold would repeat going mad and regaining sanity and grow.
Q: Do Enders maintain the power levels they accumulated in their previous world when they come to Mount Sumeru?
A: Yes.
Q: Before Yang Su-jin came to Mount Sumeru, who was the Ender that became True Immortal in the shortest time?
A: An Ender named Jeong Shin. A Lapis Lazuli Ender with talent around the level of Yang Su-jin. But they were more cautious and rose slowly over 30 thousand years.
Q: Are there lots of Enders from mythological or SF worlds?
A: Yes.
Q: How many Heavenly Kings that reached Triple Divinity?
A: Around 10.
Q: If Ender knows how strong the Future King is and ignores the Audience Chamber and just tries to accumulate strength, are they dragged in by the attraction force of fate or does the Future King come out and rip them apart?
A: Fate will flow towards them challenging the Audience Chamber.
Q: When Salt Sea received the help of 3 Enders and built the Penglai Island, was this Obsidian’s generation? Did he threaten them into helping?
A: Yes. He did not threaten them.
Q: I think it was said that Radiance Mantra resets things after Enders die, so did they leave behind inheritances by storing them in separate space or putting enough power to withstand Radiance Mantra?
A: They are an Absolute, after all.
Q: When you say it is hard to reach the ending with the ideal Ender party, is that because the power difference is so big that a single strike of Hope can wipe them all?
A: Practically speaking, the current party is the ideal party.
Q: How many inheritances did the Ender that left behind the most inheritances and the Ender that received the most inheritances live behind?
A: The one that left the most behind was Agate of the Artificial Computation Device. But the competent Ten Heavenly Lords collected them all, only leaving behind the one in the Head Realm. The one that received the most was Yang Su-jin. Of course, it’s closer to say that he stole them and obtained them than to say he received them… Anyways he collected a lot of treasures by stealing, robbing, and looting.
Q: Did any Enders try to seduce the Future King?
A: Woah… Yes.
Q: I am curious about the Ender with the worst moral character. You said they committed less acts of evil than Yang Su-jin, but how much?
A: The Agate of the Artificial Computation Device. Though their scope of misdeeds was not as wide, its depth surpassed his.
Q: How long does a talented Ender take to reach True Immortality, if they don’t care about methods?
A: A talented Ender who does not care about the method reaches True Immortality in 30 to 40 thousand years.
Q: After a generation of Enders are massacred but before the next generation of Enders are born, the Absolute would be whole, so what if a being divine descends the Absolute of Miracle and becomes a Heavenly Venerable in between?
A: As long as Hyeon Mu exists, that cannot happen?
Q: At what level of cultivation did Vast Cold, Obsidian, and Silver Basket reach Governing Immortal level of power?
A: Vast Cold - Great Net Immortal
Obsidian - at Immortal Lord, after the cultivation of Flawless Mantra
Silver Basket - from the start
Q: Why does Lapis Lazuli like curry?
A: I have no idea… Maybe curry=sadness in my head…
Q: Why did the Head Realm eat all the Agate inheritances?
A: Agate has the highest proportion of being caught, killed, and shoved into the Head Realm.
Q: Who is the Heavenly King who specialized in curses in both Ender specialty and life?
A: Lapis Lazuli Ender named Jeong Shin. An Ender that came from a curse specialized world, gained curse specialized cultivation method, and awakened curse specialized authority.
Q: Readers rank abilities often, making an example of the theft of Radiance Mantra, while you say they are equal in value. Is it really true that the abilities are equal in value?
A: There is no superior or inferior Ender ability, the most important thing is the capability and creativity of the user.
Q: What happens if you eat the Ender pill?
A: If by Ender pill you mean what Salt Sea made, you can divine descend the Third Absolute.
Q: What was the average quality of the Enders used as material for the Ender pill?
A: Around middle realm level.
Q: Ender with the best/worst reputation?
A: Best- Vast Cold. Worst - Yang Su-jin.
Q: The peak of Ender per color?
A: Gold - Kim Young-hoon.
Red Pearl - Jeon Myeong-hoon
Lapis Lazuli - tied between Jeong Shin and Kang Min-hee
Tridacna - Vast Cold
Agate - Agate of the Artificial Computation Device
Obsidian - Je Pa
Q: What’s the hanja for the names of the Enders?
A: Uh… I deliberately did not decide on them. Feel free to apply meanings.
Q: What if a martial artist Ender comes from a world with a martial artist system that is completely different from Mount Sumeru’s? Assuming they don’t have a good fate and authority for martial artists like Gold or Silver.
A: High probability of Hyeon Mu pretending to be their comrade and following them, happily learning the otherworld martial system until greeting them once they run out. The martial artist Ender has a high probability of reaching Severing Heaven realm.
Q: Ranking of looks during mortal days between Yang Su-jin, Obsidian, Vast Cold, Seo Eun-hyun, and Jeon Myeong-hoon.
A: Uh… I will exclude Obsidian. Their standard of beauty is not human.
I think Yang Su-jin > Seo Eun-hyun = Vast Cold > Jeon Myeong-hoon.
Q: Regression is a mutant ability created from Radiance Mantra + Absolute Fragment, can a regression ability come from just Ender authority?
A: Theoretically something similar is possible.
Q: You said there was an Ender with ability like regression before, can they not regress beyond the point of the Future King’s gaze?
A: After Future King gazes on them and limits them with Radiance Mantra, they cannot regress before that point.
Q: If Yang Su-jin, Vast Cold, Silver Basket, or Obsidian obtained the Radiance Mantra, how high could they reach?
A: I think Vast Cold and Silver Basket would reach the highest. But Seo Eun-hyun is the only one would reach Supreme Deity.
Q: The cultivation realms that Vast Cold, Silver Basket, and Obsidian governed.
A: Vast Cold - Heavenly Being stage. Silver Basket reached for Supreme Deity formula. Obsidian governed Integration, same as Swallowing Heaven.
Q: What reaction would a future generation Ender have if they look at a book with Crystal Glass to Treading Sea?
A: Like how Wu Jin reacted when he saw Star Extinguishing True Chapter, they would think it was something a human could not learn.
Q: What do True Immortals who do not know about Enders think of Heavenly Kings(other than Black Dragon)?
A: As strong Immortal Lords.
Q: Were there other Ender authorities that screwed over Fate Supreme Deity like Seo Eun-hyun’s Ego Preservation?
A: Surprisingly often.
