  I don’t subscribe to Chaos Magick per se, but I do appreciate the postmodern view and willingness to sort of aggregate what works. Personally, it’s the cringe folks leaning into “I’m a mess, so I do chaos magic” crew that turn me off to the whole movement even though the premise is rational and based. That and I don’t like dealing with the costs of doing magick that just come with the territory. Sort of like remote viewing - if it works, then you get results and you’re doing it right.

  I’m pleasantly surprised at Lemmy’s response to this comment, though.

  OK, come find me on a youtube video about sheep cheese and I’ll debate you.

  Ah - that’s my bad, I forgot civilized places in the world had pension still and not speculative con jobs where we prop up the private industry via the stock market with retirement money.

  When people tell me they get food delivered that isn’t a classic range of delivery foods (plus Ethiopian) so they can not be disturbed doomscrolling or binging TV, I immediately think less of them. Especially when it’s food that very obviously doesn’t travel well.

  In the time it takes to pick something and get it to you, you can cook 1 of 900 million things that will be better. Even when drunk. Even when high AF. FFS, even frozen pizza is faster then delivery. Let alone the cost. Soggy-ass fry eating MFers deserve the cold sad food you eat.

  This happens in the developing world on occasion, with the assumption is that insurance pays out to the family. I’m 99% sure doing the deed yourself means it doesn’t pay out at all. Tragic all the way down.

  If you look at the insanity of the denial, it’s all over the map. Favorite I saw was that Epstein hated Trump, so none of this was possible, and being banned from Cheney’s funeral was a badge of honor.

  …as if the money part didn’t work in anywhere. As if Bannon and Epstein weren’t literally all over the emails, and Trump didn’t reach out and try and lure him back in after he won in 2016.

  The best show that never got the CGI or plot development or really much else it deserved beyond trying to get Jennifer Sky and Gina Torres something to lure Xena fans away as they started to sunset that series.

  TIL that Gina Torres sings the theme. Never knew that, and I love it so much.

  Sure - but I’m also still wondering what the consensus is on Frank-N-Furter. Hero? Antihero? Villain? When I search online, I get all 3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had to look this up⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait…is Dr. Frank-N-Furter a villain? I always thought he was the hero and Riff-Raff was the villain.

  The erasure of Worst Witch is a crime.

  Yeah, sign, I’m excited about it, too.

  No they don’t. They don’t wonder about anything at all, let alone what women think.

  They were also late because they didn’t buy enough credits for their clock app to wake them up in time to get to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scandal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Second comment just to say that Ghislane Maxwell had a horse named Bubba.

  Especially in 2018 when the “Russia Dossier” was all over the place, this is definitely pure sarcastic bullshitting, top to bottom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scandal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Completely agree with this. Hilarious, sure, but certainly not literally accurate. With that exchange and when the emails were sent, I would sooner believe it’s all sarcastic BS just getting thrown around.

  Confirming that it’s either a loss leader or loss prevention. Depends on the store and management.

  Cash payments only!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Year? In this economy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, it’s a used year! You’re going to have issues. Save a bit and just expect it. But remember that used years are reliable and parts easy to find.

  But if you get the First Gen 2026, it’s untested! If you have issues, who are you going to ask? The guys on the 2026Repairs Forums? What if there’s a recall and you have to get a rental 2020 in the mean time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hrmmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The largest demographic group receiving SNAP benefits is white people, at 37%, so (tries to do math like a racist) 63% assorted brown people!

  But what really sells it to the 37% of white people in mostly red states with poor public education are things like this article about some super genius trolling where the first 3 groups alone add up to like 124%. I expect that the 17% of people who do not report ethnic demographics are largely white in the first place, and have been gaslit for so long that they won’t report out of fear of being some sort of “race traitor” or some other stupid racist BS thing that idiots do.

  What a stupid design.

  If you face the 5G tower or look at your phone trying to pick up 5G signal by broadcasting a 5G ping, that shit’ll bounce around inside this hat like a satellite dish, reflecting all around inside your skull until you get COVID.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all, I’m a fan of Harry and his work with wildlife conservation.

  There’s always been this theory that his dad was James Hewitt. Part of the confusion being recessive ginger genes (likely from Diana’s mom, Frances Kydd) and how lots of British people have that nose. I think that we can finally start to see that Windsor Pattern Balding showing itself here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all. Owning a home and a car didn’t used to equate “wealth” in the 60’s. But the middle class and lower middle class certainly perpetuated things like Red Lining and segregating communities. Sure, they got fucked by the Vietnam war, but they also got a Constitutional Amendment to vote starting at age 18 in 1971 and elected fucking Nixon in 1972! Boomers were the fuel for the socio-economic disaster of the 1980s.They invented “greed is good.” They gave up on the dreams of the Hippie movement and sold out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s that Boomers have participated in, and been behind the wheel, of most of the stupid, enabling moments of the 20th century. They built this world and got pissed when inequality they built to lock up money for themselves wasn’t sustainable.

  Then they blame everyone else because they have no self-reflection due to lead levels in their blood causing cognitive impairment and aggressive behavior. My favorite was a meme all over facebook saying “Back in my day we didn’t have plastic soda bottles…” Yeah, who TF changed it, genius? YOU ALL. Sure wasn’t me running all that stuff when I was 6 years old.

  Well, it’s really more that pain is part of the human experience. Suffering is our reaction to the pain. We don’t have to suffer when we experience inevitable pain if we are enlightened.

  In context: Using Windows 11 is pain. Continuing to use it by choice is suffering. Accepting Linux into your heart and treating the inevitable tweaks like no big deal is enlightenment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A hypothesis⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also Apple IIe to start then Power Mac briefly, thanks to school. Later at home Windows 3.1 - Windows 7 I think, Back to OS X, Back to Win 10, Win 11, terror and enlightenment, now Linux.

  Knowing how awesome a computer could be with the Power Mac made me demand more from a Windows machine, and then understand early on the disappointment with Windows that would last most of my life.
