praise Ishtar/Inanna/Astarte Queen of Heaven and Earth

sorry if i hornyposted i like to fixate on my hobbies

  • this is why i think the mixed salts approach of adderall sucks compared to pure Dexedrine or it's pro-drug, Vyvanese. the difference is like night and day, pure Dex makes me feel so relaxed

    meanwhile adderall is just like tossing some unnecessary norepinephrine release in there for no reason (basically the fight or flight neurotransmitter).

  • they are part of the coalition but just like the anarchists they inevitably get co-opted by the restorationalists (leia, mon mothma etc)

  • i love how he didn't even throw in mao or stalin like libs usually do and just went entirely with fascists

  • i mean the default star wars setting (as a republic) is a hyper capitalist loose confederation libertarian society (with slavery!) dotted by ethnostate planets and policed by a theocratic guardian council

    this is the thing the rebellion is trying to restore (excluding the actual anarcho-"leftists" in the movement that get co-opted)

  • this is wholesome and adorable

  • same with automatic AI upscaling on your phone's camera. you zoom in trying to see if it's real and there's that classic AI distortion no matter what

  • can i save John Brown and together we can both torture/humiliate history's worst people?

  • it's so mind boggling how some of that old Soviet industrial infrastructure can just be dusted off, some paint slapped on and just reactivated

    built to last when there's no profit incentive

    not going to happen here

  • i really wish i had time to dive into physics equations that cover weird esoteric stuff like the internal structure of a Kerr black hole or alternate configurations of space-time and other stuff

    it's like spellcraft to me i just don't have time or brain to learn it and there is no way to easily explain what a De Sitter space is to me (as an example)

  • hard to struggle if the only effort is typing a prompt into Sora

  • i stepped back from here a bit for the same reason as AcidSmiley (really miss seeing you around)

    i have had trouble restraining myself when topics come up around imperialism. starting with my parents. my mom it took time and patience just to give her broad overviews of some basic Blowback style topics

    i've found the easiest approach for normies (at work, acquaintances, anyone you chat with and they are familiar with you) is just broad economic concepts. through this I've learned that the average American would go hard for market socialism/cooperative economy. nobody defends the bougoise anymore since they have gone mask off and shown their asses. everyone i have engaged with seems to think they are just criminals and corrupt, but often think the capitalists of the past actually "built stuff", which is a tough one to crack

    I've also found I have to often have to just sell socialist concepts from a very selfish position. remind people that a secure, well cared for and egalitarian society = you can be chill, unbothered, and unstressed and just grill

    selling socialism as stability is a solid one. no more business cycles, lay offs, etc. in real life most people don't think they are one idea away from becoming billionaires. that's been closed off forever. lottery, maybe.

    otherwise with more personal relationships I have pretended to be earlier in my ideological development and take them on a journey with me. it's more organic and not deceptive because i just replicate my own previous development and can excitedly explain new concepts that I just "discovered" and work them through it. this has worked best for taking someone who was flirting with fascism to the left and it took a solid year of work

    but yeah just be confident and assertive and patient. people are desperate for answers and don't use any red scare trigger words until they are ready to handle it

  • obviously for many reasons that have been brought up but at least among their "influencers" seems to be purely spite and jealously of being failed artists

    makes me wonder how much of this would just evaporate if people could just do art and build their own followings with no need to monetize because socialism

  • lol yeah i did the same. i swear being trans and having kinks set me back so long because it took so long to decouple those things. especially since my first partners were into femboys and i was just hungry for any validation even if it came from an incorrect place

    aaaand... absolutely a non-controversial statement but: fuck Ray Blanchard with a rusty fork

    and same for the trash editors that let his shit exist on wikipedia like it was fact

  • add this to the lathe: somehow he knocks out half his entire constellation of satellites as well by insisting on personally calculating (asking grok) the orbital rendezvous maneuver because hes such a junus

  • nonstop AI slop too. Sora2 videos of fake black women acting entitled and basically spouting shit that is so ridiculous i almost seems a parody.

    but i thought the same thing. instantly it has become a laser focused fake news and propaganda machine because they have been planning this roll out for almost a year.

  • mine are gray and formless

  • in 10 years they will probably have thorium and even fusion reactors covering that last 30% and be starting construction on an orbital solar array

  • nowhere to go but it's halloween kind of want to dress up like a sexy demon since i have some horns
