Good morning, brozikies. Earlier this morning, the moderators have nominated me to post July’s Monthly Unjerk Thread. Here we will discuss our thoughts, feelings, and opinions regarding anything to do with Destiny in a relatively serious and civilized manner. Of course, bananas and papayas have been authorized to be provided during this meeting and are free for anyone to take if they so choose. So, have at it, brozikies, and happy Thursday to you all.

*Reposted due to typo and grammatical corrections.

I asked if you were an employee, you said no. As I was walking away, you blurted out that you liked my hair, and I whipped around and said that I liked yours too, and liked the pink in it. Just wanted to see if you were in here!

Obviously, merciless resolve seems a little better due to sheer damage and magicka use on top of increased healing, but relentless focus is also enticing due to the reduced stacks required and the ability to inflict disease damage which reduces enemy healing and weaken damage shields, on top of being able to have a splash damage. I am currently running an orc magicka Oakensorc with a lightning staff.

Been trying to socialize a little more and find groups and events, but haven’t had much luck. I’d download Meetup, but I can’t get past the thought of paying 10 bucks a month to use it.

Where are all of the nerdy, weird, “outcast” people hanging out at? The ones who people would deem “autistic” but instead of taking it as an insult, they embrace it? Where are my people??

We are living in some very confusing and scary times. Gas, rent, and food prices are at an all time high. People are struggling, terrified and hopeless. Suicide rates amongst Gen Z, my generation as well as many of you who may be reading this, are skyrocketing.

We are forced into jobs that require us to work 5 days a week, some require even more if you take overtime into account. We are forced into this slave mindset. We are led to believe that we must work all day, every day, for the rest of our lives and that MAYBE we will have enough to retire.

We are led to believe that we must form tribes over our political affiliations. We are brainwashed into thinking that our neighbors are our enemies and that you can’t trust the people around you. We are led to believe that our sense of community has been dissolved.

THEY WANT us to remain separated, to remain divided. THEY WANT us to work endlessly. THEY WANT us to keep playing into the facades they put out for us so that they can continue fucking with us behind the veil that we so allow them to throw over our eyes.

Something that I, as well as many others are coming around to realizing, is that we need each other now more than we ever have before. We cannot remain divided, we cannot remain at each other’s throats over fictitious problems. We cannot continue fighting and hating one another.

Despite all the odds that may be seemingly stacked against us, there is hope.

YOU ARE THAT HOPE.

ALL OF YOU.

You hold the power to make a difference. Something as small and seemingly benign as a smile, a friendly hello, or a wave can turn the tide of someone’s day. You have no idea what someone may be struggling with.

Many of you, I’m sure, are on your last legs. Some of you may feel as if the end is coming. Some of you may feel that you cannot take it anymore and that it might be time to give up.

I hear you, I feel you, and I love you.

I care about you, all of you. I wish all of you well and my hope is that my message can help someone out there. You deserve to feel hope, and to feel love for yourself.

You do not understand just how incredibly powerful you are as an individual. “I’m just one person!” you may say, but look at our oceans. Look at how incredibly powerful and magnificent our oceans are. Do you not realize that they, at one point long ago, started off as one or a few small droplets of water?

Give yourself the love and credit you so owe yourself. You made it this far. You are here right now for a purpose and a reason, even if that reason is to simply exist. And the fact that, no matter what you might be going through, you still woke up this morning? I am proud of you for that.

Be kind to yourself and others. Support and be there for and listen to others when you can. We cannot afford to remain cut off from one another and scared of each other anymore.

I love you, brozikies. I really do. I send all of you the biggest hugs that I can muster.

Whatever may come, no matter how daunting, we will pull through together.

Peace, all.

I can see why some may be confused by this question, so I apologize. For the newer ones with the flip safety, the trigger pull a little smoother? Or did they keep the trigger safety but throw on a flip safety? Thanks, all.

Yes, you. You who are reading this. You are the light, the hope and the key to a better world.

You’re probably thinking: “What do we do?Everything seems to be hopeless, our home pages are being flooded with black pills and utter doom. We’re hopeless!”

That hope is found within you. You are that hope. Think about it with me for a minute.

Think about all that you are capable of. Think about all of your accomplishments that have led you to where you are today. You’re still breathing, are you not? You’re still pushing forward.

You have ambition. You have a will. You have a dream, a vision, to live a better life. Not just yourselves, but for everyone.

Now, take that willpower and multiply it by the thousands, millions even. However many of us are here on this planet. What you have is a force that is incomprehensible. What you have is a superpower.

The key? Love one another. Work together to make a change, even if it’s a small one, for even the smallest of pebbles thrown into a stilled body of water create ripples that reach far and wide.

We are brothers and sisters, bound through the Earth in flesh. We are not enemies. We are not strangers. So, friends, be kind to one another. Be the light in someone’s darkness.

Times may appear bleak, but remember that we have each other. We cannot make it alone. We will make a difference in our world, as sick, evil and unforgiving as it may seem.

Become the change and the difference you want to see in our world.

I certainly believe in you.

“do you just sit on reddit all day everyday to comment your unfunny photos on anything pertaining and not pertaining to you? youve done irreparable damage to the community by being consistently unfunny and getting losers with no sense of humour to support you. i feel bad saying this because it isnt a personal thing at all - im sure youre a great guy - but i hate the shit you post so much. it wasnt even funny to begin with. i thought you were like 13 years old because this is band kid stuff. you need to grow up and stop dragging it. i cant believe that we as a community have gotten to the point where we are laughing at shit like this for years and years. we used to be a good subreddit and now we are hinging on like 3 stupid stupid unfunny jokes. and no i wont just block you because there needs to be some people to express their dislike of your content. the only reason you receive so much support is because everyone who would speak up otherwise has blocked you for being annoying. please get some pther hobbies i am begging you”

Brozikies, you may feel angry after this reading this message. You may feel that we must go to war.. to defend the banana and papaya trees.. but there is one catch.

To understand banana papaya, you must understand the fundamental forces behind them.

Banana represents the Light, the Gardener.

Papaya represents the Darkness, the Winnower.

To infuse, to intertwine the two, you are left with banana papaya. The fusion of these two is what grants us our transcendence.

We must NOT retaliate against the ones who choose to remain hungry and those who refuse to wake up from their malnourished delirium. We must love them and accept them and understand they are in need.

These people, these brozikies, need our help.

We cannot force them to eat a banana or a papaya, but we can share the knowledge of the incredible health benefits that is contained within them. We can share our light and our love and our knowledge with them in hopes that it may enlighten them.

These poor, hungry brozikies are starting to come after us. They are starting to swarm us and tell us that we are wrong. That our banana and papaya trees deserve to burn, but fear not, brozikie, for we are protected by the Nine.

This is our Edge of Fate.

Yes, you read that correctly. I love you.

Some of you may have had a great day, some of you may have not. Some of you may be surrounded with friends and family, some of you may be all alone.

No matter what you might be going through, be it triumphs or tribulations, just know that I am proud of you. Look at where you are now and who you’ve become today. That took a lot of work, didn’t it? Stand proud of who you are today, because there really is only one you and there will never be another. You are precious. You are unique and your potential is vast. You are capable of many things, anything you can think of if you put your mind to it.

Do not underestimate yourself. You are worth the effort, the patience, and worthy of love. So, here I am to tell you that I love you.

The world we live in appears to be riddled with corruption and a, seemingly, insurmountable evil. While this may be true, one thing that helps me is to understand this:

Everything has an opposite, a mirror. You have hot and cold, positive and negative, left or right, you name it. Everything does, and so does the cruelty we hear and, unfortunately, some of you have to see or face every single day.

If this world, our society, can foster a negative force so unfathomable, so imposing, then imagine the amount of good and positivity that stands as its polar opposite.

“Where is it, then?” You’re likely wondering as you read this. To tell you the truth, it’s reading these words. That good that I spoke of? It’s YOU.

Don’t ever sell yourself short. You are capable of so much, we all are. Be the light that the darkness recoils from. You are powerful beyond measure.

I am here to tell you that all will be well. All will be okay. We will pull through and we will make it. We will, together.
