  • If he is real then he is dead. If he is not dead then he exists like a reflection in a mirror exists. If he is more than a reflection then he hates me.

    I hate the world. I’m the son of a junkie. I’m old without a family of my own. I’ve lived my life having to kowtow to the privileged and imbecilic to earn table scraps. Now I go hungry because such people lead my nation and have ripped the last scraps of providence from my grasp. I am wretched.

    Hate is the core of my being. Without it I’m as hollow as a ghost.

    I hate therefore I live.









  • No you’re not. You’re clearly impersonating this woman to slander her.

    You know being upset because a girl doesn’t like you is pretty normal. But everything else you’re doing isn’t.

    You don’t have to get us involved. You could act like a man for once and actually process the pain without acting like a complete weirdo.

    Knock it off.








  • Even with billions of cacao beans exchanges, Aztec cacao sellers took great measures to disguise their fake cacao. According to Bernard Sahagun, a Spaniard documenting Aztec lives, cacao sellers processed fakes using hot ashes, chalk, and a generous coating of amaranth dough, wax, or avocado pits (Coe 100). To further camouflage their counterfeit cacao, sellers mixed the fake cacao with pure Theobroma cacao beans. Other cacao deception experts exploited empty shells by filling the insides with mud (De Maré).

    Sahagun was one of the first westerners to document the indigenous people of Mexico.




  • One: Women would use indigo hair dye called xiuquilitl to turn their hair blue.

    Two: In Tenochtitlán human waste would be collected from public toilets for fertilizer. Thus it was someone’s job to sail the “poop canoe” to deliver night soil.

    Three: Only a certain type of cacao was used as currency. Counterfeiting was rampant.
