If this is the kind of stuff you post about after going to classes (I'm assuming that's what's inspiring you), then reading that book is going to be like opening the floodgates. It is such a good fucking book.

Ha, actually no.

Verbatim knock it off. Personal attacks against Kupo are in no way relevant to this thread and you've been derailing it with this bullshit. I see you already have a recent serious tagged warning so your next one in here will be a ban.

Quick To Adjust is that Huragok's name, btw.
