If I was there you can bet I’d have a shovel and start digging to get to those structures under the pyramid conspiracy cleared up right away

Why are we relying on some kind of sound sonar when can just dig down and see if there really is giant concrete walls with coils beneath them or whatever was postulated

And don’t even get me started on Egyptian curses, I never believed that shit. I’ll dig right into a tomb and then if I have any problems follow me I’ll just hold up my cat or something

[Trexller]

Why are we relying on some kind of sound sonar when can just dig down and see if there really is giant concrete walls with coils beneath them or whatever was postulated

egyptian gov't pretty much refuses to let anyone do any meaningful research

if humans figured out how they were actually built they probably wouldn't need gasoline, electricity or formal government

[Duik]

Do you think if there was some super secret free power tech under the pyramids and the Egyptians knew about it, doncha fink they'd be using it?

Also played an AD and D module that had a final part as a flying ship to take you to the afterlife. About as believable as any of the fictious versions of religions posed so far.

Good module.

[Trexller]

nah unlikely that any of that underground bs is true

but for sure they didn't drag 80 ton blocks 100s of miles across mountains or stack them with ridiculous geometric precision

[Duik]

I agree trex. There is more to our written history than what is currently popular canon.

I dont think its Altantis or anything. Just that we are not the apex of human achievement.

We (currently) see our ability to change our environment as progress, regardless of the "cost". Costs of environmental and social damage are quite high in our dog eat dog, captitalist system as we have it now.

Maybe the systems in place thousands of years ago left less of a footprint because they used natural materials to build thereby leaving less footprint to be found by archaelogists. Like an environmentally conscience hiker taking only photos and leaving only footprints.

There is more than one way to achieve advancement. We have just been channeled toward the ones and zeros method.
Now i dont know what it was, but i can suspend my disbelief enough to know in a world as complex as earth (whether by divine design or evolution) maybe we dont have all the answers or if those answers are in fact the best answers.

Many ancient civilizations tried to leave nature alone. Nature based ones at least.

I dont have the answer, but I also know we currently dont.

Just look around to see the proof of that.

[Trexller]

right it's not just the pyramids there are ridiculous stoneworks all over the world that can't be easily explained

I think on one level or another, every human can sense that they are being lied to. that the world isn't real. That feeling of, "I don't know what the truth is, but I do know that it's not what you're telling me"

Humans are so weird when you think about it. We're the only species on earth that can't survive in it's environment. If you leave an adult human pretty much anywhere on earth without tools they will just die. Our newborns can't move, are defenseless, and have to be fed directly into their mouths in order to survive. We're the only species that leaves our environment worse off for our presence. We're the only species that destroys and kills for fun.

that's not any new information but after some deep thinking you can only surmise that the weird thing around here is us, we're not part of whatever the earth is. we don't live with the earth we live in spite of it. I don't wanna sound like a hippy but the earthlovers aren't wrong with their take on it.

This modern urban sprawl that we traverse with vehicles is just weird to me. It doesn't feel real. Like this is all some ridiculous theater that we perpetrate with our lives. The bears and the birds and the bees are just looking at us like, wtf is wrong with those animals, everything they need for life is here but they have to smelt steel and string wires.

If evolution is a thing then I imagine this level of sentience is a mistake. It's not a benefit, like even our most basic technology was invented to solve a problem that doesn't need to exist. we don't need clothes if we live in a tropical environment, we don't need grocery stores if we live where food grows on trees.

The majority of all the work that we do is just to resist an environment that is incondusive to life but we're too stubborn to realize it.

My issue is that I’ve been spoiled by all the health and tech luxury and now see a lot of the human existence as a nuisance

Like when I’m having to pee for the 8th time in a day because of how much water I tend to drink, I wonder how much of my dwindling precious time remaining I’m devoting to staring at a shit-stained toilet bowl of some public place. And when I think pissing and shitting is annoying I wonder if we will ever find a way to not have to deal with it anymore. Cords when they get tangled or unplugged I think how long until we don’t have to deal with these anymore

Things like that. Spoiled, waiting for minor nuisances to be SCIENCE’ed away

we already built the world the way that we did so we're sort of stuck with it now

everyone gets to enjoy eating meat without having to witness or experience killing and death, and they will kill or die to keep that system in place

[atomicpaul]

have you ever processed any animals you killed or hunted? i watched a dude turn a deer his buddy had shot into sausage when i was a teenager, i did eat some of the sausage.

my county here in georgia outputs incredible amounts of poultry. almost all of those jobs are worked by immigrants, many of whom might be described as 'illegal' immigrants. i can't imagine they'll find a lot of american laborers to fill those roles even for like $20-$25 per hour like most of them pay around here, so i expect the price of chicken to rise eventually, like everything else.

[Trexller]

have you ever processed any animals you killed or hunted?

yeah chicken fish deer

dressing an animal a few times a week would just be like cracking open a new box of cereal, your brain recognizes it as "this is what I gotta do to eat" the sights and smells of butchering only gross people out because they have associated it with horror films and cruelty

we've been taught that this is something to avoid, something bad that we don't want in our lives

saw this video of an african village once who had a celebration around killing live goats and butchering them in front of everyone, yeah they are all like 50 IQ but you could tell they were happy because they knew a good meal was coming

totally different reaction to the blood gore. it was a Vice doc film about african moonshiners and drug addicts

[shovelquest]

Either the CIA decided to make up "mars had a cataclysm 1 million years ago and we used astral projection to travel there" just to fuck with KGB spies.

[Ekco]

panspermia

or like the start of that Alien prequel movie with a ayylmao seeding us here

[Trexller]

so i expect the price of chicken to rise eventually, like everything else.

probably not by much more than any other market shock event that has happened lately there are so many illegal immigrants that it's impossible to actually fix. they would have to deport over 10,000 a day to get it done in trumps first term and they barely get 300, and they prioritize illegals with a criminal record

domestic meat is... domestic so it's more insulated than say chinese pork or australian beef

so reshore it, let the amish go back to selling meats the way they used to, and encourage them to expand their operations we could have entire towns of amish people who work to process thousands of cows a week but they aren't allowed to do it because government knows best

It's so hard to be a right-leaning environmentally concerned person because when you look into green legislation you realize this has nothing to do with environmentalism and it's entirely about control. We have changed nothing in the last 40 years of green consciousness, all we did was move the pollution from The West to china, india and SE asia, who are all polluting 100x worse then we ever were and they are doing it at scales we could not imagine.

Then a lefty politician goes on TV and tells me that I have to install LED light bulbs and buy less beef because of cow farts so please excuse me when I don't take anything they say seriously.

This is a 26 story pork slaughterhouse in china, 650,000 pigs

[atomicpaul]

yeah, we say 'no ethical consumption' not necessarily to wash our hands of the responsibility, but to help ourselves sleep. industrial agriculture at the scale necessary to feed people these days is gonna have consequences, even if that was a 26-story kale farm. i bet the floors are slippery in there. pig processing has a powerful smell, i'd hate to live downwind.

i agree that those politicians trying to point the finger at the consumer are to be ignored. i think of that every time i see leonardo dicaprio whining about environmental stuff then climbing in to his private jet to go back to southern france or wherever he hangs.

i eat less meat than i used to only because i make a deliberate effort to eat more greens for health purposes. those would also go up in price as we squabble with canada. last i checked they hadn't played the 'tariffs on potash' card yet. we'd have to go to the russians to get it otherwise, i think.

i've only ever eaten snails as escargot, and even then that's maybe like five whole times in my life.

[Trexller]

we'd have to go to the russians to get it otherwise

I hope we do. I'm not saying that russia should be our ally, but nobody can make a good case as to why russia has to be the enemy.

crips can't sell on blood turf, everybody knows that

just bc you got a big fancy complex with 32 flags in NYC doesn't mean you're not a gang

we really should get the F out of east europe, we have no strategic or moral reason to be there. The russians don't give a F about west europe other than military bases on their borders. We would be going ape shit if china or russia built military bases in Sinaloa or Chiahuahua

We were ready to fire nukes over russian bases in Cuba back in the day, that's how russia feels about NATO bases on it's border

and now NATO is building the largest european base in Romania directly south of Ukraine, and romania's "supreme court" ruled that the guy who opposes the base is not allowed to run because I quote, "TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY" we've heard that before huh

This is definitely an "are we the baddies" situation

Where I live we have Amish farms that are well insulated from the larger world. They sell eggs, produce, baked goods, furniture, textiles etc

Also Mennonite farms which are like Amish-lite they actually produce at near industrial scale usually without chemicals and hormones and crap found on factory farms

sometimes I wanna go join the Amish then i remember their houses don't have electricity. Some of their barns do (yeah they can give power to the animals, not themselves, christian humility at it's best)

So I could set up a starlink and Everquest in the barn maybe?

You'd miss indoor plumbing.

[Trexller]

You'd miss indoor plumbing.

it varies by community, but some of them have water tanks with septic systems, or they have wind/solar powered pumps.

their whole thing is the separation from the outside world, so they don't have wires or pipes coming from the heathenous cities

my house has a bathroom with an old fashioned sink that has separate taps for hot/cold water... that's pretty close right? :D

one thing i always thought was cool about the Amish is that nobody is required to stay in the community, everyone that comes of age is given the choice, if the kids choose to leave they are given money and resources to make a life

it's not something casual or taken lightly but the people can choose for themselves to live that life or not

but why not let english people spend a few weeks with the amish and see if they wanna join, i'll bet you alot would choose to join

interesting fact is although they live such simple lives, many amish families are worth millions. wealth is generational and they sell their products but they don't buy much from the outside world, and their whole community is like a religious installation so they get various tax exemptions

[shovelquest]

90% of amish return after rumspringer, which gives you an idea how great our lives actually are.

At least make it realistic, they dont use roads, hospitals or other infrastructure. No wait, they do, indirectly, you buy that lovely engraved saddle and pick it up in your fancy jalopy? Thats a paddlin'. Ride ya horse there though and ya good.

It does sound great though, up at sun up. Toil in the fields till sun down, read a jolly story by candlelight for 5 fingers of tallow, sleep, dream of corn rows and do it all again on the morrow.

Actually sounds good. If i wasnt pushing 60 next year with 4 yrs of sedintary work behind me to soften my guts up.

oh right in the USA churches and religious establishments are more or less tax exempt
they are and they aren't

Amish men don't wear mustaches as part of a tradition rooted in their pacifist beliefs and rejection of military service, where mustaches were historically associated with the military.


I just can't believe how on the nose and prophetic that the Amish were back when the first power lines were laid. They knew that one day those wires would carry wickedness into their communities and they were 100% correct.

The muppet one definitely *looks* much more real because it's using the shitty lighting and hard cast drop shadows you get from a camera flash in a dark room.

Ironically, it looks more realistic *because* it looks kinda bad. Full-zoom version is blurry everywhere except the muppet's eyes and nose for some reason, which look weirdly too high rez to be in that image

I saw a UFO like 7ish years ago when I had first started jogging to lose weight. I had always told my family I would eventually see a UFO or a dead body because joggers always find those. I am basically on dead body patrol most nights

The UFO was a very obvious huge ball of white/yellowish light that was flying in the night sky like it was at the tip of a child’s finger tracing through the air. No way in fuuuuck could any craft move like that. Nor did it appear to be somehow projected onto the sky from below or anything. This giant light ball seemed to be its own thing. Then it zipped upwards straight up and gone, in less than a second. This was pre-drones being mainstream as well

the cut scenes in the first game on the playstation are a better movie than some of those RE movies

I never played the game but I liked the first movie. Maybe it was just because I never really knew the plot of the games, so to see a computer just massacring all these innocent scientists was wild

The movie did a good job of building suspense from there, not showing the zombies for quite a while and doing so in a way that made the slow, ambling zombies still feel menacing. Keep in mind this was where fast zombies was not really much of a thing. And the lickers upon later reflection were very CGI but back then I thought they were pretty cool and menacing

I could even accept the main char turning into a combat girl boss and wrecking zombies with no fear mid movie because the whole being bioengineered/programmed to do that made sense in the setup

I really can’t think of a part of the first one I disliked, I guess maybe there was some slow spots after the beginning

Edit: I heard the later ones sucked tho, didn’t see them. And I still on a whole liked Silent Hill movie more

The exclusions, published late Friday by US Customs and Border Protection, narrow the scope of the levies by excluding the products from Trump’s 125% China tariff and his baseline 10% global tariff on nearly all other countries.

The exclusions would apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and computer processors and memory chips. Those popular consumer electronics items generally aren’t made in the US. Setting up domestic manufacturing would take years.

But mostly it’s about the low bf, those boyz are like 10% or less

Certain demographics have higher testosterone and they do do a lot of crimes.

I'm not surprised at all about Lune worshipping at that altar.

You're making my case for me.

Certain demographics also produce a disproportionate share of this country's culture and soul mojo. If they were reimbursed commensurate with their contributions they'd be richer than the Jews.

Testosterone is cosmic soul magic

The Team good males helmet looks very mandalorian like.
Also, i notice many A.I arts are sex-on-legs girls wiff titties and arse hangin' out.
Pretty much canny get an A.I shot sans tits-N-arse. Which is also prolly why they render the female form so well. Lotsa practice (data).

Proves that most prompts are prolly show me (hot) girlz wiff swords, wings and scantily clad in plate armor. Add a butterfly so I dont seem too pervy.
