    Rogue in the films isn’t done justice. Idk comics, but in X-Men Evolution the animated series she

    spoiler

    basically beats Apocalypse 1v1.

    In the older animated series she has flight and superstrength as part of her default power sets. I recall her getting those powers from Captain/Ms Marvel.


  • Don’t worry, zakat is another Islamic concept the clergy (I think that’s the right English word) abuse and twist to line their pockets. Zakat and khons are both about donating to the needy, but both ideas have been twisted so many times. Khons details are different but the word is related to the number 5. The first version I remember being told is that you pay one fifth of your yearly earnings’ leftovers.





  • I’d suggest you to look for a guidebook on any of Marx’s works, or Engels. He’s right about many things, but he is a boring writer. Reading his stuff is tedious, especially without a guide. I see others recommend starting to learn about Marx from people after him, but I completely disagree that that’s a good place to start. Dictators, oppressors, and war crime deniers have nothing of value to say.

    I should mention that I have a habit even outside of writing to overcomplicate things. I want to still write about my complex ideas, like the inner life and philosophy of an Eldritch god, but it definitely won’t help if I overcomplicate the language I’m using.

    Recently I finally accepted that not everything I write is pure gold and that I’m allowed to rewrite or delete stuff. After all, it’s the idea being expressed in a paragraph that’s important to me, not the words and their layout.

    I’m an indie author. Idk how common my experience is, but here goes.

    I’ve self published one book, but I want to go back and make a 2nd edition, after I finish book 2. My primary goal in writing was to get anyone to enjoy it. I realized onky after publishing that accessibility is important, and I’ve adapted my writing style. How I realized was that my relative who have English as their second or third language couldn’t understand my writing.

    The only people who managed to finish my book were all writers, I believe. In order to get through m book they needed to accept that sometimes my writing didn’t make sense to them, so they continued regardless.
