Brexic victory (n, usually singular):

The Embargo Act of 1807, as a response to the Chesapeake–Leopard Affair, both failed to damage British exports - they found new markets in South America - and damaged both the US economy and public confidence in the fairness of the US government. It was a short-term diplomatic failure, and a long-term economic disaster for the USA; the bill's passing is an early example of a Brexic victory.

Get the brolic mug.An orcish warrior who fought in many battles. in defense of mount hyjal all his comrades were slain and he was the lone survivor and felt that it was his fault and began seeking his death in battle. He was sent back in time to the first coming of the burning legion and helped the night elven defenders hold the demons back and soon learned the best way to honor his fallen brothers was to fight to protect thos around him not for his own death. He jumped through the demons portal to buy time for his allies to close the portal and single handedly held back the demons endless numbers and was standing atop a mountain of thier corpses when he attracted the attention of sargeras who then slew the orc.

Get the Braxican mug.An offshoot of the often misrepresented Stoicism, which places disproportionate focus on bravery, action and cold showers; to the exclusion of compassion and wisdom which are the Stoic traits that underpin all the other virtues. Being strong means nothing without also being wise, guys. Make choices that are for the greater good of all, including yourself. But don't use this philosophy as justification for actions that are reckless, self-seeking or dangerous. Stoicism is about walking away from potential sources of chaos in your life, not towards them. Sure, get over yourself, but this doesn't have to be at the cost of treading on anyone else. And what's more, it requires no muscles, financial success or approval of your friends. Stoicism is about being free from all that. Why not go onto r/stoicism and find out what it's really about, freedom awaits. Amor Fati.
