Too hot for me
  • Or you just know that the people around you have their own issues or are incapable of being of help the way you need it... can we stop trying to make everyone feel lesser, please?

  • What do you think happened to the hikers in the Dyatlov Pass Incident?
  • The Lore lodge youtube channel has the best write up I've seen so far, everyone else on youtube gets simple information wrong or stretch the truth to make it silly.

    Here's part one.

    Here is an excellent resource that has pictures and Russian documents. https://dyatlovpass.com/ you can look at pictures the hikers and the search teams took.

    I don't think it was anything supernatural. My opinion changes every once in awhile but the only mystery for me is why they left the tent, and right now I lean towards an argument amongst the group or they saw some phenomenon in the sky that they wanted pictures of and needed to hurry to catch/ see it. I'm skeptical the tent was even ripped from the inside, it could have been the search teams that tore the tent when they found it.

    "Don't Go There: The Mystery of Dyatlov Pass" by Svetlana Oss is my favorite book on the topic so far, though I don't think the mansi had anything to do with it.

    I think the government was more interested in keeping up appearances than figuring out what happened to those kiddos and didn't really put the effort they should have, so some of the information we have is flawed or wrong.

  • Millions of dollars of psychedelic mushrooms seized in a Connecticut bust
  • Are magic mushrooms considered to be a stimulant or a sedative? I thought they were hallucinogens.

    EDIT:

    Stimulant: an agent (such as a drug) that produces a temporary increase of the functional activity or efficiency of an organism or any of its parts.

    Sedative: tending to calm, moderate, or tranquilize nervousness or excitement.

    Hallucinagen: a substance that induces hallucinations.

    Psylocibin: a hallucinogenic indole obtained from a fungus (such as Psilocybe mexicana or P. cubensis synonym Stropharia cubensis).

  • I've Been To Over 20 Homeschool Conferences. The Things I've Witnessed At Them Shocked Me.
  • Again, I get where you're coming from.

    The reality of the situation is that a movement is full of factions. People aren't a monolith and they think differently and feel differently. Jk Rowling considers herself a feminist, and she is an iteration of what a feminist can look like sadly.

    Think of religious sects, they all fall under the same umbrella of Christianity or Judaism or what have you, but have radically different beliefs and feelings.

    They get involved in protests and push their agendas just like any other group of people.

    Or tankies! They fucking suuuuuuck and they are communist! I like communism by the way, but tankies can eat and then shit out some Lego blocks.

  • Because it's fiction, Susan
  • Roman's left their names all over the place as tourists, ancient Egyptian workers left graffiti at their worksites, and Pompeii basically used walls as message boards.

    I'm conflicted, on one hand I love that people want to leave a trace of themselves behind. That feels beautiful in a way, even if I think the message they leave is silly. It also leaves something for our ancestors to hopefully find if something happens, and that's delightful to think about.

    On the other hand, I loath selfish entitled people.

  • I'm into resting
  • I feel like it would be better to phrase that as you found them uninteresting.

    Or did you mean they are un-interesting in a way most of society would say someone is uninteresting. Like they aren't interesting because they don't follow sports or TV shows? Or they only talk about work or kids? Those people can still be interesting, just to different types of people.

    They may not be interested in being interesting for other people?

  • Massive Changes Could Be Coming From the Vatican. Conservative US Catholics Are Mad as Hell.
  • I prefer to read the Abrahamic religious books as a legendary/mythological account of history, not outright historical. The people who wrote these books had an agenda to push and by studying it we can get an idea of what their intentions were in wrtiting them down. You can't fully understand some of the stories in the Bible if you don't have some understanding of the culture and history and beliefs of the people that wrote them. Context is vital.

    I'd love to hear how you think it would change my life? It's fun to get different perspectives.

    I've always hated the idea of original/inherited sin. It's such a cruel idea to me.
