Wolpertinger: I am your father!

Isn’t Tish like… the OG goth GF

Wait… is that a reference to the original Watchmen comic?

🤤

Oh god… I can feel it, I can feel the East Germans commenting “that’s a Jägerschnitzel” and then the flame war with the Austrians kicks off.

I remember you! From a discussion about people being barred from voting for certain criminal offenses.

Your username is very rememberable.

No, but the reason for it is one of safety, not morality:

Every bacteria, virus, fungus or other germ that can contaminate that lab and that meat is already adapted to hurt me, there is no species barrier. Nature generally abhors cannibalism because of this.

Now if you grow it in a lab, that might not be too much of a risk, but once you enter capitalist industrial production there are numerous incentives to cut corners and increase the risk of contamination.

Contamination also exists in factory farming, but at least there, there’s a species barrier and the impact of that cannot be overstated.

Alternatively, you’ll create a swamp of human meat factory farms that use huge amounts of antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic agents and just get soooooo much more effective in training multi-resistant germs, already adapted to human tissue.

Man, I’d love to see her as a beleaguered ruler struggling with questions of morality in a fantasy show. Just imagine seeing her wrestling with life-or-death decisions concerning hundreds if not thousands of her subjects.

This is it, it’s the perfect example of adaptation through sexual selection.

I was very very lucky.

I turned 26 when I heard myself coughing like a 66 year old chainsmoker with cancerous lungs, found I was unable to run up stairs and out of breath after carrying groceries inside. I had to have a cig every morning so I would be able to have a shit at all, but if I did… that first drag sent me rushing to the bathroom, it got so bad, I had to light the first one while sitting on the loo, or i’d shit my pants.

That’s when I found myself disgusted with myself. I stopped, I simply stopped. From 38 cigarettes per day to 0. I am so happy it worked, because I am a very easily tempted personality and tend towards addiction in anything that gives my brain pleasure.

It took a year before I completely stopped coughing and two years before I could run up those stairs again, but one day I simply realized “Oh my! I’m not out of breath. What… what happened? Oh, yeah I quit smoking! Damn this feels nice!”

Odds of a sexual abuser need not be high for the man, they’re simply 0% for the bear.

It’s three fedoras, looked at from the top!

Thank you for making me look, but fuck you for not telling me, it took ages of staring at my screen before I got what was actually depicted.

Theistic Satanism, otherwise referred to as religious Satanism, spiritual Satanism, or traditional Satanism,[2] is an umbrella term for religious groups that consider Satan, the Devil, to objectively exist as a deity, supernatural entity, or spiritual being worthy of worship or reverence, whom individuals may contact and convene with, in contrast to the atheistic archetype, metaphor, or symbol found in LaVeyan Satanism.

The Satanic Bible is LaVeyan Satanism and as a product of the 20th century very much more modern than the “traditional Satanism” of de Sade and Huysman in the 19th century.

LaVeyan Satanism is still much more on the “spiritual” side of things than, for example the explicitly atheistic, sceptic and rational Satanic Temple, but both fall under the umbrella of the more modern, non-theistic understanding of Satanism. While a more historical form definetly existed, even if it wasn’t widely practiced.

In Christian Satanism the Devil exists and is being worshipped. This is “classical” or “theist” Satanism where there is a belief in the existence of Satan.

Contrast that with modern atheist Satanism, where the Devil is merely a psychological symbol of rebellion, independence and freedom that serves to trigger theists while also being a representation of revolting against christan authoritarianism and, through the exploitation of rules stemming from theist-political decisionmaking, as a counter to the blatantly unconstitutional abuse of religious freedom laws for the benefit of a single religion.

Can you work for the terrorists in Deus Ex?

Lawyer of my former employer says no, you don’t. If you don’t combine that tracking data with personal information and don’t track them on other websites and store locally without giving any information to third parties.

Ubuntu, then Mint, now Arch, but I’m too inexperienced for it and want to try Kubuntu for native KDE with Plasma desktop.

They’re pretty independent, but maybe not independent enough for some? I mean it’s no issue concerning Deutsche Welle, they are specifically non-independent as an institution of German culture politics. But the public broadcasters have supervisory bodies that are composed by law and contain

representatives of socially relevant groups, such as political parties, trade unions, social organizations, churches, etc., as defined in the broadcasting laws of the federal states […] whereby the political parties - limited by the courts - do not hold more than one third of the seats.

This does not take into account how the representatives of the christian churches always vote with the christian parties and vice versa, the atheist representative is also a member of a political party and many social organizations depend in their work on the goodwill of the government.

Imho. that’s not a problem, politics touches everything so you’ll always find political connections of some kind everywhere. But seeing as our neonazi party is gaining momentum, maybe we should think about further reducing political influence, so it doesn’t fall into their hands in a worst case scenario. Or we could reduce religious influence, following recent waves of Germans leaving their churches.

Meh, our esoterics are basically religious anarchists or spiritual hippies. They still fall into all the trapping of religion without the “organized” part of “organized religion”.
