Swearing is kinda wacky in my native language
Like
>my horse cock in your rat ass
Because of morphological complexity even phrases like "they'll cut your cock and post it to your place" can be said in two words. So swearing isn't just overusing fuck and shit randomly.

>that that
how do i avoid this?

I visited but did not eat. I left before the food was done because the smell of it cooking was becoming too tempting

So basically the only two logical options boil down to being a Christian/Muslim or committing suicide, right? I've ran the numbers. This is it. There aren't any other logical options. Any books on this topic?

Are there any good books on this? The Alexandrian/Hellenistic Fertile Crescent intellectual environment?

>Philo was in Alexandria
>(Pseudo-?)Philo wrote about the "Therapeutae" (Essenes?) sprinkled across Egypt
>Essenes had Zoroastrian-sounding apocalyptic-mystic theology
>Who or what exactly was John the Baptist
>Clement of Alexander was Origen's teacher

It goes on and on. What also confuses me is how far east this environment stretched, and for how long. Did the Parthian and Sassanid periods have a "gnostic" free for all lasting 500+ years? How did the last Neoplatonists know to flee to the Persian court when Justinian shut down the Academy? What about the Greco-Bactrians and Kushans? Did they have contact with the Tarim basin and Kashmir?? WHO IS PRESTER JOHN?
