@Uair@actuallyautistic@AtheismActually I read somewhere the idea that the Big Bang was Lucifer being cast down, and that the universe now is the result of his painstaking self-reconstruction.
Lucifer, eh? That's what we are... morally superior? Not hard to achieve when you look at history at any stage or in any place.
@rancoisse@Uair@actuallyautistic@AtheismActually It’s in the book that’s the sequel to the Exorcist, Legion (Blatty novel) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(Blatty_novel). “Kinderman concludes that he believes the Big Bang was Lucifer falling from heaven, and that the entire universe, including humanity, are the broken parts of Lucifer, and that evolution is the process of Lucifer putting himself back together as an angel.”
Quote: "Most Americans have no idea that President Biden is the first president of either party since Lyndon Johnson to explicitly reject Reagan’s neoliberalism."
This article does a great job of pointing out the things Biden has accomplished. Share with any doomers who don't plan to vote. Just because he can't control the war machine doesn't invalidate Biden's domestic achievements.
I have literally never been able to talk about myself with someone who wasn't throwing my words in the garbage. Crazy people hear crazy lie with their face to trick me into thinking communication is happening and liars hear lies and do the same thing. A lot of the time it's intentional cruelty.
I don't lie and i'm not delusional, but this shit is built up so bad after 40 voiceless years that i'm really intense.
One of the crazy guys in the shelter just totally lost his shit. He's speedpacing back and forth and aggressively muttering. I caught, "you made a conscious choice" and "gouge your eyes out".
This guy uses three folding tables to build a wall around himself, and sits inside on a chair all night. He also keeps his face covered, but with a stretchy cloth. It's to hide his identity, not prevent disease.
This guy's grandpa sounds a lot like my father, except in america he knew to hide that white supremacist shit from the world. And even me. It's fucking strange to be middle aged before you realize your dad's not just a garden variety asshole, but darth vader level evil. I feel for the author.
I'm a strong supporter of personal freedom, but with that comes the freedom to take the consequences.
I have no problem with people who choose to be carriers of a deadly disease. I don't understand it, but i don't have to understand your freedom. That's the whole point.
You should not have the freedom to recklessly infect strangers, however. Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.
So how about putting all anti vaxxers in camps or something?
To give you an idea of me, here's some of my current faves:
Hardcore Henry
Nobody
Zombieland: Double Tap
Chappie
Tenet
Go (1999)
Homegrown (1999)
Omniscent (netflix)
American Vandal (netflix)
Chernobyl (HBO)
Exterminate all the Brutes (HBO)
Basically, anything with brains+ humor + violence.
I've gravitated to the groups with the most cerebral, least emotional thinkers. I call emotional thinkers "limbic thinkers" and have long resented their capture of my two-party system
The repubs manipulate the haters, the mean-spirited limbic thinkers. The dems manipulate the tree-huggers, the kindhearted limbic thinkers. Nobody has even addressed me, a cerebral thinker, until Biden.
Under that framing, republican policy choices make sense. Ignore any nonsense they spout as to "why" they want a border wall, or forced birth, or more brutal cops. I've started seeing their whole platform as designed to cause as much pain to as many people as possible.
They structure society to create misery, which can be channeled into hate and manipulated.
I can hear the covid surge in the homeless shelter at night. Last night was kinda terrifying. Literally all around me, probably 1/3 of the men who sleep on my shelving unit and the one adjacent, had a wet cough. At least one sounds like he should be hospitalized.
Plus, they threatened to cut my lock and throw away all of my possesions not in a plastic bag. I now sleep with a wet towel and washcloth in my bed.
