Adventure and ET both had endings.

Their understanding was flexible, and changed especially at the end when they started losing the war. Josef Kohout, author of the men with the pink triangle got picked up after a love affair with the son of a fairly high up member of the party. That man got a light treatment, while Kohout was sent to the camps - it was possible to understand homosexual desire as “a failing of youth.” Near the end of the war, one could be liberated by agreeing to be castrated and sent out to the front.

It’s like alt right movements today - the ideology is flexible. It’s a worship of masculine power above all.

Think about the weird prevalence of Nazi femboys (thinking about Nick Fuentes boyfriend….) Being homosexual is only wrong if it’s done in a way that’s “queer.” Getting your dick sucked by some f€ggot on Grindr isn’t “gay” because the power structure has not been violated. Kohout is pretty pointed in his account when he talks about how the only difference between the kapos and officers that desired him and himself was that he wanted to love his partner. That’s gay shit - that’s the problem. Not wanting to marry a woman and pump out white babies, while fooling around with lower social status men on the side.

Miami, OK - “mee-am-ah.” Notable for being near Picher, the ghost town/superfund site.

Yeah, where the fuck is this “rules don’t apply” when it’s legal weed or college debt?

An argument I read recently is that the Nazi plan for gay and trans people wasn’t “genocide” per se. It was a mental health issue or deficiency to be cured. More a project of conversion therapy. In effect, it was wanton slaughter and being a “pink triangle” prisoner was about as bad as you could get, but Himmler had ideas like having gay men fuck prostitutes in the camps (women promised a better life than Ravensbrück - they’d end up on the trains to Auschwitz after). Like you could supposedly be cured, so the goal would be to fix you before giving up and eliminating you, at least in theory.

They’ll have trans people declared mentally ill for being trans and institutionalized. The institutionalization won’t have the goal of killing us, but the people put in charge of caring for us will exploit their power. We will be sexually abused, chemically castrated, and physically abused. This will happen under the appearance of mental health treatment, so it will be invisible.

So the retconned Uncle Crassius into a plagiarist????

How dare they malign the reputation of the man who makes you trade erotic favors for faction advancement!

So this explanation wasn’t canon as of Morrowind as I recall.

So one mod, something like “Better Clothes” retextured the outfits and cleaned up some of the meshes.

It also added an entire system to “correct” the Argonian titties issue. Most merchants sold a “sewing kit” which would correct the mesh to switch to the flat model. All female Argonians had a dialogue option to adjust their clothing, in case a script had failed to fire.

(Oblivion has had mods which alter Khajiit breasts in… more “feline” ways…)

The Dogon tribe around Mali in West African caught attention because they might have been able to identify that a star was a binary system before modern tech did (possibly due to good eyesight but also possibly just bad anthropology.)

This led to a lot of interest in their religion, which have elements that ancient astronaut weirdos have adopted into that mythology. It deserves some not stupid attention.

While the Rescuers 2 had an actual naked woman in it.

Also Graeber’s Debt.

So many of Graeber’s ideas are right on the dot. Those two books helped me understand economics better than fucking Milton Friedman ever could.

Chester the Cheetah would never!

 

I’m sure everyone is very excited that Zaum is putting out this shitty crash grab with the IP they stole.

The creator of Revachol can’t tell stories set there anymore, but private equity can profit off of it.

 

I don’t understand how Clone Wars season 3 goes from the amazing Savajj arc (how did Cartoon Network get away with airing that?) into this dorky shit. The monster designs look like rejected Pokémon box art legendaries.

It also just seems so weirdly inconsistent with lore.

 

How often do you buy groceries?

What types of things do you consider “essential”?

Do you make a list when you go shopping, or just have an idea of what you need?

Do you do one big trip all at once, or do you pick up just enough to make what you’re eating that night/the next day?

 

“She doesn’t make speeches anymore. She has become speechless. She stays in her home, but it doesn’t seem to agree with her. How furious she must be, now that she’s been taken at her word.”

 

I’m looking for movies along the vibes of The Seventh Seal, Stalker, Raise the Red Lantern, The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Movies where the camera is a drill into the human soul somehow. Painful to watch, but enlightening.

 

These are some of the charges filed against Phillip Koons.

The stories I’ve heard are making kids run outside naked, and showing off his dick to show the children “what a real man looks like.” A lot worse, but that tends to stay on private Facebook pages and doesn’t typically get investigated.

The Oklahoma Coaches Hall of Fame considers him a man worth honoring however.

They do have their phone numbers publicly listed if you’d like to share your opinion about this.

 
 

You can’t openly discuss suicidal feelings with a therapist, because then they can strip you of your rights and send you to a place that might be the hospital out of One Flew Out of the Cookoo’s Nest - and then charge you thousands for the stay.

The hotlines are the same - a 988 call seems to be “wow that sounds hard” until you say something for them to call 911 on you for.

Inpatient is almost like punishment. “I am so sad that I want to no longer live” - “we’re going to shove you into a filthy room, force feed you medication, and give you fifteen minutes of ‘therapy’ before we send you back to the outside world (without your job now too, because you missed work)”

The almost shitpost of a response I hear is “at least you’re alive!” Yeah - with some more lovely sights and images and smells and sounds that’ll flood my brain when I’m trying to sleep at night.

“It’s just for stabilization! For long term care, you need to seek outpatient services” - doesn’t exist here LOL

Is anything about the mental health care system designed to be functional?

Like, I don’t even want to be dead. I want to be alive, but in a safe place. The likelihood of me getting to a safe place is evaporating more everyday. My family abandoned me almost two decades ago. There’s just nothing for me here. I can go to my LPC twice a month and talk about how stressed out I am - but none of my problems are getting better.

 

The stress of a divorce and the rising tide of fascism have caused me to seriously regress in self care skills over the past few years. I am currently struggling with eating/“meal planning.” I am intellectually capable of understanding what is necessary to grocery shop/plan out meals, and used to be able to do so, but am struggling with executive dysfunction to the point where I cannot.

For the past two years, my diet has been fast food, chips, beer and candy. I had a few “safe foods” - specific brands of frozen meals that were reliable, but of late they are not working. Eg, I have been lying on the floor for the past five hours feeling absolutely famished, have considered going to the refrigerator and making one of the frozen meals that is usually “safe” - and am utterly incapable of doing so. I don’t think I could even eat it if I made it.

I’m guessing this is autism - I’m guessing I’m autistic - but there has never been any means for me to be evaluated. I have talked to my therapist about this, and have not really found the advice helpful.

The most effective thing has been stocking up on things like lunchables to at least get calories in. Sometimes even lunchables will stop being “safe” though. It gets harder to function when I’m hungry, so I get caught in a loop of lying in bed hungrier and hungrier. I know I can’t live off of gas station pizza and Monster, but there have been days where that’s all I feel capable of eating.

 

The first time it happened, I wasn’t sure if it was an accident but it has happened again multiple times since.

I have a google account that I use for YouTube because it has premium and that is useful in my work. It also as a long dead Reddit account associated with it.

Multiple times, on my work computer, when I end up on Reddit from google a question, the top right will find my google account, and AUTOMATICALLY LOG INTO REDDIT. I have logged out multiple times.

These is extremely concerning - the fact that I am logged in with google does not consent me to log into Reddit. I do not want that Reddit account associated with my work.

 

My boyfriend knows absolutely nothing about the series other than that Natalie Portman is in the prequels. He wants to watch the prequels first - he likes her and is convinced you’re supposed to watch them in order.

I’m advocating Machete order (with pre-Special Edition VHS rips), but he really wants to watch Phantom Menace and I’m not sure where to put Rogue One/what other non-mainline material to include.

Do normies tend to like the sequels? I’ve told him upfront that I dislike them immensely, but I’ll tolerate them for him.

This may come across as ridiculous but please understand - I’m just trying to maximize my chance of a couples Han/Chewie Halloween costume this year.
