2018-10-15 at 8:40 PM UTC in You know how Kebab has this sand nigger yell ALLAHU AHKBAR when it's time to pray?Well, i just realized that's the low tech sand nigger version of a church bell. Ever think about that?
Islam is shit. I'd much rather hear the beautiful, melodic sounds of church bells ringing than some fucking AY-RAB yell some shit. By the way, Islam is a fucking cult. Ever read the Quran? If you think the bible is silly, just wait until you get a load of that shit.
Honestly, i don't even think Islam should be considered an Abrahamic religion, it's teachings are so far removed from Christianity it's laughable.
Judaism is monotheistic beta version of religion.
Christianity is the dank vanilla release that everyone loves and remembers.
Islam is the shitty expansion pack that no one asked for.
And if we're not going to have Christianity, which we should, at least bring Nordic/Germanic paganism back goddammit.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It's not tracking in the sense you are thinking of. It has more to do with tracking what you do with your browser over multiple sites, through tracking cookies and stuff like that. It's done because Google wants to know if you shopped for big black dildos at Amazon, so they can advertise big black dildos to you on other sites.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-16 at 10:07 PM UTC in I'm so glad I bullied malice into killing himselfThere's one important fact that everyone here really seems to want to gloss over. And that fact is, that you don't use sulfuric acid to melt meat off bones. Acid stains. Use biological laundry detergent. It has enzymes that will eat off the meat and fatty tissues but it will leave the bones in pristine condition. For your displaying and/or viewing pleasure.
If you're making human soup, you might want to try to get your hands on Hydrofluoric Acid. Don't kill yourself by mishandling it though. In fact if you're doing chemical warfare you might want to go around town throwing vials of the stuff into crowded places.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-10-17 at 1:22 PM UTC in Localized Legendarium: Sophie's mythos focus thread.Mythology is a fascinating subject I love the stories, they're rich and epic and grants us a glimpse at religion before monotheism. I think it's interesting that before Christianity, Europe had a wide variety of polytheistic religions and belief-systems. The Celts had their own polytheistic religion as did the Germanic and Nordic peoples. The relationship between the Nordic and Germanic pantheons are a lot like the relationship between the ancient Greek and Roman ones.
Conventional wisdom would say that the Gods Odin and Thor and the Aesir and such were purely a Scandinavian belief-system related to the vikings. However, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Flanders, followed the same pantheon. When the proto-germanic peoples and language split off into proto-Norse and old Germanic, the language changed but the Gods didn't. For instance, Odin is called Wotan in the Germanic tongues, which includes Dutch. Since this is the localized legendarium i would like to talk about the ancient gods and peoples that believed in them in my neck of the woods. Interestingly enough us Dutch had a special Goddess that does not particularly occur in the Pantheon of my kinfolk, however, veneration of this Goddess became somewhat widespread through the regions around Holland and the North Sea. Originating from here, belief and worship traveled as far afield as regions in Germany, France and she may have also be worshipped in some parts of England.
Historically and traditionally the Dutch have always been interested in trade, especially by sea, due in large part because of our access to the North Sea not only at the coast but via the Rhine as well. As such I think that is one of the main reasons my ancestors had a need for a Sea Goddess. Her name as our archeological records indicate is: Nehalennia, which is a lovely name in my opinion, it sounds like it came from Latin but actually linguists have found the origins of the name to come from the Celtic and proto-Germanic words Nehwa, which means "close to" and halen for "sea", ne, "on, at". With the suffix "ja" to indicate a feminine noun. Thus, her name means "She who is at the sea". She is considered to be a type of mother Goddess, however her portfolio and spheres of influence include trade, travel, the sea, the cultivation and the conservation of plants, fertility, and sometimes even beauty.
Interestingly enough she seems to take traits from the more well-known Nordic/Germanic deities, Freyr, Freya, and Nerthus. Her character is most likely based on an amalgamation of those, but with a special affinity for the Sea and Trade.
Archeological research has found three great temples dedicated to her in what is currently the Dutch province of Zeeland. Less grand sanctuaries and shrines dedicated to her have been found all over the Eastern Scheldt, Rhine area and coastal regions.
She is usually depicted, accompanied by a ship, apples and a dog.
Occasionally she is also depicted with special loves of bread known as "Duivekater". Which is a sacrificial food. From what i understand Duivekater was considered a worthy offering and Nehalennia did not demand human or animal sacrifice.
Well i hope you found that interesting. If you did let me know, if you didn't, fair enough and let me know what you disliked. Also, if you are interested in Mythology, please tell me about your favorite Pantheon, God, or Goddesses. As an aside, i find Irish Mythology to be quite fascinating as well, and if you know a bit about it, i'd love to read your thoughts on it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Sudo Why does the Quran suck? A ton of it is retelling the old testament for unknown reasons.
The reason is that the Quran tries it god damned hardest to look like Judaism and a legitimate successor to the bible.
Originally posted by Sudo It's more overtly allegorical and extrapolates on the tales. It's also more dynamic that the bible with more firey imagery.
The worst thing about it (and monotheistic religions altogether) is how insecure the deity appears to be. So much in the Quran is about how bad it is to be a lapsed Muslim or how bad people who talk ill of God are. How their tongues will be burned out and they'll suffer 10,000 thunderbolts for going against God. How infidels are so terrible and everything like get over yourself ykno.
It's basically the old testament re-written for AY-RABS. The new testament has a lot less of what you are describing.
Originally posted by Sudo The Quran was written in the context of a war by a man who had conquered everywhere he had set foot in.
Merchants turned warlord make for shitty prophets.
Originally posted by Sudo It also needs to be remembered that it's been essentially unchanged and at best the prophet had a very cursory understanding of literacy.
Yeah, old Mo was an ill-iterate[sic] fucktard while the bible was written by scholarly people who had a fundamental understanding of the teachings they were trying to convey.
Originally posted by Sudo The bible was written collectively by dozens of people abridged and proofed over hundreds and hundreds of years and it's still mad contradictory. Many psalms are garbage and it goes into needless detail and things nobody gives a shit about. It involves taking ridiculous things completely seriously and basically tells you to believe in magic.
The old and new testament are a collection of hot takes by the various authors. Point being, i realize this but i can still find value in it's teachings. However muslims don't look at the Quran in the same way. Also, every religion asks you to believe in magic.
Originally posted by Sudo The Quran is an expansion in a way but it puts religion itself into context and emphasises on the spirit of monotheism and what to do about it in a societal context.
If it tries to run society government style, it's not a religion it's an ideology. I guess my biggest problem with the Quran is muslims. And what the fuck is up with the hadiths anyway?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny
For me it's about what her options are. Like what is she going to do if she decides porn is too degrading? Or when she can't do porn anymore? Do you think she's managing her earnings responsibly so that she'll be able to retire when she can't work in that industry anymore? She specifically said she doesn't have any real friends, that she had to be taken to a hospital for an anxiety attack after a shoot. And of course there's the prevalence of drugs in that industry. Can you really say her life has a upward trajectory?
Like I'm sure there are plenty of perfectly intelligent and competent women in porn that understand that they have a shelf life in that industry and they're making an informed tradeoff of shorterm earnings vs. long lasting earning potential, or semi-pros who have other means of support. But that's not what I'm getting from Hays. To me it looks like a girl that's not the brightest without anyone in her life who actually has her best interest at heart.

Originally posted by Lanny Generally speaking you don't have to have any particular OS with the exception being that you need OSX for iphone development and windows for windows-specific stuff. Platform dependent stuff like that. Being comfortable in a linux environment is pretty common and some jobs will list it as a requirement but it's usually a pretty soft one. And the development experience on linux is generally a bit more pleasant IMO. But again, it usually doesn't matter, what you don't want to do is spend a week installing and tweaking a linux install just so and do zero programming.
Installing and tweaking a distro is fun though. Also makes you learn Bash while you're at it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
