Personal peeve of mine: Just because a book is about a monster ( I.E Dracula, Frankenstein, E.T.C ) Doesn't mean it's only read at Halloween. So, If I wanna buy a new copy of Dracula in January, nope, get out, we ain't buying it, but in October the bookstore has a buttload of them. 

Books are not holiday themed, godamnit. 

 

Rant over, bye now

The reason they sell them in October is because that month is associated with monsters/horror. They know they'll get a lot of money if they sell those stories around then, since that's when the general public (People who typically aren't horror fans) are more interested in reading those. It's all about marketing.

My point exactly. Do YOU only read a horror novel in October? 

Cause I don't, and it pisses me off when Walmart markets them as "Seasonal Merchandise"

Wait, high schoolers? How many of them are actually legal drinking age?

To be honest, I don't read horror novels. I'm just pointing out that that's the time of year that the audience for that type of thing increases since people get into the holiday spirit, so they sell way more copies during that time period. It might be dumb to horror fans, but it's a really smart strategy for getting money.

_{I'm starting to think you just plain have a grudge against marketing strategies.}

 

I enjoy scary stuff year round, so you know what gets me excited? The times when the scary stuff is laid out for everyone so that I don't even need to hunt for it, and knowing that other people might have fun with the things I enjoy. We may not consider it "seasonal merchandise", but most other people only get into it during that season so whatever--we're in a niche. And hey, I don't complain when the channels and stores are showing off the horror.

The best thing about this, is that when I go for a night out, the teens get wasted before midnight.

a lot of book stores have horror sections. It's not a super obscure genre.

[Yuya Sakaki 5,212]

The system in which the World News section on Reddit works really baffles me. People can only post articles from "trusted sources," as they say. But the trusted sources are all Westernised, so how can someone, for example, post something regarding the Russian War if those sources are from another's perspective?

 

It's all just a propaganda to make humans view the world in tunnel vision. Hence, they're only making them look at one side of the whole story. It's a load of cow faeces.

 

Peace!

I always thought religion was a silly thing, don't get me wrong we all have our views and I'm not gonna shit on someone for believing in a god or being extremely religions (my mom is that way) but I'm just not sold on the whole idea. Everything has an answer and this religion thing doesn't answer the ones I have.

so they say that "gods" made everything right? they started this whole thing, so what made them? i dont think they could has just appeared outta no where, they had to be created by something. and the same with the people who made them, who are they what are they and why are they and we here? why are people here and living whats our meaning and stuff.

Same can be said if there was no god. Where did the universe come from? Some say matter exploded. But where did the matter come from? Where did anything come from?

It depends entirely on your beliefs.

 

Well for starters if one had a sound mind, they could not accept the fact God has been created by someone else. That logic (or lack thereof) would imply that it would be an endless line of creators, correct? So a logical mind wouldn't accept that. God is an eternal being that is not limited to our universe, otherwise that would imply he is contained. He knows no boundaries whatsoever. It's not logical that an omniscient creator would be contained. Don't think in religion that logic isn't applicable, because it's quite the opposite.

 

You ask what is the purpose of our existence? Well, again, it depends on the religion you follow, and whether you're monotheistic or polytheistic. As a Muslim myself, the purpose of our existence is to walk the path that brings us closer to God. It's solely just to worship Him and stay in a constant state of remembrance of Him; remember that he is the reason we exist and are alive today.

 

Not trying to convert you or anything like that I was just explaining in the most simplest terms, but it goes much deeper.

 

Peace!

This kinda reminds me of the law that states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. I've always wondered if that means energy is somehow eternal. What if God is energy? They say God is present everywhere and it's already been theorized that energy of different kinds is always present in everything. So what if...?

When it's said that God is everywhere, it is meant in a metaphorical sense; it's to accentuate His omniscience. I and many others before me have stated before that a creator of this universe cannot be contained within His own creation. God is not energy since He created it. The Law of Conservation of Energy is one of the numerous ways for mankind to understand how this universe works. To me, science and religion cannot be separated; they go hand-in-hand. Science is ultimately a way for us humans to comprehend the workings of the universe and its wonders.

 

I honestly facepalm when there's debates between science and religion because they're the same thing, just different perspectives.
