Akercocke comes to mind first, they are progressive blackened death metal. They are real Satanists. Youtube should have a couple of interviews. Looking it up it seems the band just released a new album last month! They seem to be a very much you do you and you do me kind of group.
For a more...
I'll respond to the rest when I can pressed for time, I skimmed the post but this part I wanna say it's not him in particular, but the relationship does make it slightly more personal. I did react though in a way to call it out. I just more and tired of seeing stupid crap like that. Just a...
EDIT: typoed... should be idiocy
I don't really like to associate with conservative nutjobs but there was this dude I knew in highschool and helped out spiritually a few years ago. Tonight on facebook he posted "Leftism is cancer".
Despite our past together all the reasons I cut out 90% of...
Logic is kind of the basis of math. Logic is math and math is logic. I don't see how the two can be separated. More formally I might say that math is the natural extension of logic.
It's also why I don't use "logic" in social situations. What does that even mean? Unless we want to know how many...
Logically not following me? I don't think you are using that word correctly here.
You straight up said " find tact to be useless" and "People are offended by my honesty"
That isn't interpretation. It's straight up what you told us.
You can see that as "discrediting" but I'm doing you a huge...
If you believe in rules why are you admittedly so rude and breaking the social rules of your culture? I actually have autism spectrum disorder and I'm bothered by the comparison. We are not intentionally rude we are just unaware. Someone like you knows they are rude but decides to justify it...
When ISN'T animal sacrifice okay, should be the question.
Darn it, now I'm hungry.
Also who says you have to eat it? If you don't, there are plenty of critters who will be than happy to feast on what remains when you toss it. If I were to sacrifice something and feed it to my pets, would that...
You don't have to insult intelligent design though to actually disprove that statement. Something can un-respectable in the sense of the word that it doesn't deserve recognition or consideration of the word. You don't have to call it stupid.
I guess I mostly try to avoid alienating anyone...
The only time I think insults 'work' is when it's used with some other tool... but then that tool alone would do the job. Insults seem to be emotional tools, not logical ones. Even if the insult is technically correct it doesn't really add substance to an argument, it just colors the...
Holy crap, if I knew I could get so many ratings like that by making an easy post I would do it more often. I can write a sourced literal 1k word essay just for a single post and barely anyone even reads it.
In truth, it's not insulting people I'm worried about when it comes to my public image...
I hope others reply as I'd like to hear more of what people think.
Personally I've had some different feelings about the implications of sutra for a good while (not all of which I'm prepared to get into here).
It might seem more straight forward to others but seeing through the lens of all of...
I honestly hadn't seen the post so rest assured it's not a response to anything anyone has posted... This is just something from the Shiva Sutras that always stuck out to me. I had posted it just as is with no thought of my own to see what people would say about it.
Siva Sutras: The Yoga of Supreme Identity [Jaideva Singh translation] (page lxii):
"By Pranayama, dharana ect. one acquires Supernormal powers over the elements, but such powers are the outcom of moha (delusion about the essential nature of the self) which draws a veil over the Highest...
Actually looking at the source, it's clear that this is still for sure millions of years old. It even notes that the point of contention is the location and the surprise at finding one of that age.
I'm not an expert though so I'm not totally sure what the implications would be here if it's...
Uh... I'm pretty sure human feet won't evolve to look different in any noticable way over a mere, what, 4,000 years? Is what when you guys think the flood is?
Meanwhile there are languages, civilizations, trees and structures much older than that that don't show any signs of massive flooding...
Game Ranger is good too for that to play with friends or find games going on.
I like to play the 2nd Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter but can't ever find people to play with that I know.
It started with the war on drugs to disrupt political opponents and has since grown into an industry. More prisoners means certain companies make more money, often at tax payer expense.
When the state prisons overflow they hand them off to the private ones which get paid to do so. So they turn...
Wordpress is actually pretty good.. I'm working on getting a better host for the platform though and sort out the DNS stuff since the free plan I can only redirect to, but beyond broke atm and you gotta pay at least a year's worth of hosting.
Best part imo is it allows plebs like us to make a...
