I’d have to look at the book and see more to say more, but actual astrology thinks of a sun sign as a single piece of a bigger interlocking system. If it’s genuinely for astrologers, it’s going to be a systematic breakdown and be much more involved than what that backside is saying, which imo is to get people to buy the book who understand astrology from sun sign columns going “yeah what kind of a kinky weirdo am I, as a cancer…? oh…” and maybe buying it, but the actual audience would be someone very different from that i guess idk esotericism is weird because with things like astrology, the marketing is at odds with the actual content you know?

I’m learning to hate people more but in general the thing that earnestly held me back was just using empathy - even if i am objectively in the right I can still see how people get to a decision or behavior usually, and it always regulated me to remind myself i’m just another dipshit with stuff going on that someone is gonna see and absolutely fucking hate, and thereby hate me.

I just try to give the benefit of the doubt that I’d want. I don’t have people’s story. I don’t know how they got to whatever they’re doing, or why.

But also this never covered all use cases and sometimes it’s just better to hate. I dunno man it feels like it degrades me to lean into it though, i kinda hate hate

solvent paint markers are cheap and i use them at home on canvas all the time.

i feel like you should

hey I had given up on this thread so thank you for the bump but also holy shit, thank you dear because this song fucking slaps

added to my playlists. holy shit.

where people like AOC are a sheepdog, guys like this are literally wolves in sheeps clothing. This is the rhetoric of a reactionary signalling who is to be blamed to the public, to the donors and the party elite - they know why they lost, they’re fine with it - the money says fascism is the way forward, and the money gets what the money wants. Everyone at that level gets a payday so it doesn’t matter.

Don’t take it as an absolute fool saying the wrong and busted thing, take it as a signal that yes, the drive to the right will continue unabated. Cheney endorsements will seem quaint in 2028.

this phrase gave me a headache thanks

comrade you are clearly delusional

opponents of israel are treated like enemies of the state

i’d say it’s weird but it’s not at all, it’s been a thing that has been slowly ramping up for a very long time

the feds are getting really good at boiling the frog.

These psychopaths turn everything into metrics. The pro-palestinian calls are probably marked, they’re probably associated with the name on the voter registry, and that probably goes somewhere nasty.

This is kinda paranoid but in general people should probably not offer their genuine opinions to officials of a major political party or any operative of the state or federal government, even if it gives you some wicked sick catharsis, because these losers absolutely keep score and I am pretty sure we’re going into a phase of governance in this country where having plausible deniability for your ‘disloyalty’ is a good thing - and for whatever reason, support to israel is seen as a critical indicator.

tbqh epstein is an excellent normie-facing case study in why you should never lend a shred of credulity to any “offical” story or line - it’s always a lie and it’s always a lie the exact same way Epstein committed suicide - institutions give the lie legitimacy, the media uncritically reports the lie, nobody is allowed to question the lie without having it challeneged and going through a gauntlet that destroys critical voices

and if that doesn’t work it just vanishes from the media entirely.

that’s the game lol

goes without saying that you should

isn’t it amazing how this demonic government has trained a portion of thier citizenry that is rightly alarmed by the idea of fascism, to only be able to see it in the le epic cheeto man, but react like a Westworld host to forbidden information about its presence at literally every level of US governance? Like it’s fucking sad. A good instinct made useless. Fucking awful.

mandalore is so good. The norse adventure game in space is more insane, but the cabellas videos are pretty amazing too

if you’re new to this guy, go watch his mystery of the druids video and the ring saga

vav can do different stuff depending on context too. not sure vav as a vowel indicator is as old as the tetragrammaton? i know some features of the writing system are later innovations - most accomodations to vowels don’t go back to paleo-hebrew iirc, but the tetragrammaton probably isn’t that old anyway.

Anyway if that vav is signalling a vowel, it could be an english o/oo sound, or a lot of things

I’m not an expert, i am just the specific kind of nerd that will slowly learn archaic languages at whatever pace i can manage and i’ve got subpar hebrew literacy for it, so i don’t wanna mis-represent my credentials here.

It’s still that way. I guess later some letters started indicating certain vowel sounds a bit more directly, but it’s mostly little dots and lines that only get used to teach or are placed on text where ambiguity isn’t acceptable.

Nero was a proper piece of shit.

But the caesars at that point still ruled via popular mandate, or at least the optics thereof. More like military support supplemented by acts that placated the greater citizenry, because the aristocrats carried the torch of getting their oligarchy back for a while. The shadow of augustus was pretty long.

But you never got soldiers hollering “imperator” at you without being a huge fucking genocidal scumbag so it came with the job - he’s not some misunderstood saint.

the only way it’s “Yahweh” is if it has some very special secret vowels because “יהוה” doesn’t sound like that lol

Hey, I’m a religion nerd?

But religion nerds who know way more than me and can make a better case for what atheism really is under the hood have made videos i can share.

This guy is pretty good in general, if you want to understand religion on a deeper level than like, what’s common to everyone. Because common knowlege about religion is garbage. Like huge garbage. It’s all shit. I can’t have normal conversations about these topics anymore, because i know more than most people and not enough for everyone i learn from. It’s great.

edit: also i should probably define terms. I’m aware atheism can mean non-religious, but given that in name it’s defined in terms of negating religion, people who study religion are still probably the best lens we have to study it as a phenomenon, but i don’t want to imply any kind of personal belief about what atheism is - what it is is complicated and it does range from a redditor who is a little too into dawkins, to atheistic forms of religious behavior that don’t fit neatly into categories of belief or non belief - it’s a weirdly huge topic.

i think i hate this
