Everything in his card points towards him inseminating equipment. Seeding the swiftfoot boots. Getting in the commander's plate and making it pregnant. Buckle up for this balls deep card lore analysis.

Let's start with his title, the contaminator priest. Phyresis is obviously a metaphor for STDs and this bad boy's job is to spread it. Not much to say here with how obvious it is.

Then, let us take a look at his art: First, his waist is hidden but from the angle of his torso we can see that his lower part is pressing forward, as if to push his pelvis against the armor.

He is putting a white Phi symbol inside an armor, infusing life into it. The symbol is white and its shape (long tail and round head) is reminiscent of a spermatozoid. Hence he is putting his white stuff inside the armor (god I wish it was me).

Now, let's continue with his first effect: "Other phyrexians you control have +1/+1". This alludes to the fact he is adding a tiny bit of life and strength to every other phyrexian on his side of the battlefield... When does someone harbors a tiny bit of life within themselves? That's right, PREGNANCY. You have him and Atraxa together on the battle field? She's got a baby. That little skrelv mite that's just chilling there? That's right, he seeded it too. Elesh Norn, grand cenobite? TRIPLE PREGNANCY FOR EVERYONE.

Now, let's move towards the main effect: "Each equipment you control has living weapon (whenever an equipment you control enters, create a 0/0 black phyrexian germ creature token, then attach that equipment to it)".
... Do I even need to explain it? As soon as a car, sword, toaster, shirt or whatever gets within 5 miles of him that unfortunate equipment gets germinated into, and inside it grows one of these fetus-like creatures.

Now, the crown jewel of this card, the flavor text: "Only through sacred infection can a vessel become pure". So... not only he infects your boots with his seed, he also considers it his sacred duty to do so.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

My libido is starting to come back.

I've started tapering about 2 months ago, and had 0 hope of libido coming back.

I'm noticing a slight increase in horny thoughts and even some boners. It takes forever to get started but at least the machinery is working again

keep hoping fellows, things can get better

Everyone around me sings the merits of unemployed life: you have all the time in the world, you are free from the oh-so-toxic workplace culture, far from the evil corporate people.

In reality all of the unemployed people I know have some form of depression. And they keep saying their depression is because of the evils of capitalism and... not because they never go outside, get up at midday and have 0 structure.

Work gives you structure. it gives you things to do, and financial security which is a necessity for anyone's mental (and physical!) health.

Sure unemployment gives you time for yourself... but it gives you literally nothing else.

And yes, sure, working is hard, and finding work is even harder. But damn the benefits are worth the effort and I don't understand how people can still prefer unemployment. Are they just coping? Are they just overreacting to toxic hustle culture? but recent generations have already spoken SO MUCH about how bad hustle culture is, that horse is dead already.

tl;dr: being unemployed isn't paradise, it's more like a top tier depression speedrun strat
