tl;dr there’s no racism problem because you see everyone as a white man by default

I mean, you know what the point is.

It’s eugenics. It’s always eugenics.

Yeah, and he does this one in every two months (+ 1 bonus week of fasting because water weight because the only thing he’s interested in is number go down).

Looks like he’s in the process of killing himself

And he insists exercise doesn’t help him lose weight which means it doesn’t have any benefit.

Poor fuck’s going to get done in by vanity.

Yes you can very clearly see what they’ve added in, there’s tons of matte stuff going on and cliparts of floating toys and whatever

AI or not this is an incredibly depressing advert, what the fuck. They went for whimsy and produced an elegy.

Here are some bits from Wikipedia:

He offered a libertine education for the children, allowing them to play all day and witness acts of sex magic. He occasionally travelled to Palermo to visit rent boys and buy supplies, including drugs; his heroin addiction came to dominate his life, and cocaine began to erode his nasal cavity. There was no cleaning rota, and wild dogs and cats wandered throughout the building, which soon became unsanitary. Poupée died in October 1920, and Ninette gave birth to a daughter, Astarte Lulu Panthea, soon afterwards.

New followers continued to arrive at the Abbey to be taught by Crowley. Among them was film star Jane Wolfe, who arrived in July 1920, where she was initiated into the A∴A∴ and became Crowley’s secretary. Another was Cecil Frederick Russell, who often argued with Crowley, disliking the same-sex sexual magic that he was required to perform, and left after a year.

Subsequently, a young Thelemite named Raoul Loveday moved to the Abbey with his wife Betty May; while Loveday was devoted to Crowley, May detested him and life at the commune. She later said that Loveday was made to drink the blood of a sacrificed cat, and that they were required to cut themselves with razors every time they used the pronoun “I”. Loveday drank from a local polluted stream, soon developing a liver infection resulting in his death in February 1923.

Employing a local boy, Mohammad ben Brahim, as his servant, Crowley went with him on a retreat to Nefta, where they performed sex magic together.

Crowley was intrigued by the rise of Nazism in Germany, and influenced by his friend Martha Küntzel believed that Adolf Hitler might convert to Thelema; when the Nazis abolished the German O.T.O. and imprisoned Germer, who fled to the US, Crowley then lambasted Hitler as a black magician.

Pasi described Crowley’s fascination with the extreme ideologies of Nazism and Marxism–Leninism, which aimed to violently overturn society: “What Crowley liked about Nazism and communism, or at least what made him curious about them, was the anti-Christian position and the revolutionary and socially subversive implications of these two movements. In their subversive powers, he saw the possibility of an annihilation of old religious traditions, and the creation of a void that Thelema, subsequently, would be able to fill.” Crowley described democracy as an “imbecile and nauseating cult of weakness”, and commented that The Book of the Law proclaimed that “there is the master and there is the slave; the noble and the serf; the ‘lone wolf’ and the herd”.

It’s always the same boring old squalid shit with these basic nietzschean removed. Not many people I have less respect for.

I mean, I really don’t think you can have a sex cult without at the very least some abuse. It’s also good practice to treat occultism as weirdo fascism.

love is love ✌️❤️

Make it a sonnenrad

Seeing the practice of art as a means to produce content instead of an end in itself is the most depressing shit ever. People make art because they enjoy the process!

If this wasn’t Scott Adams I’d have assumed this was fetish content. Now I don’t know what to think.

I really can’t imagine reading a book by someone whose vision of the future is “men will be taller and have more muscles, women will stay the same height but they’ll all be conventionally attractive and have voluntary control of their uterus”.

My god this sounds boring as shit

Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology

It’s so cute (euphemism for concerning) how their image of the average trans woman is a white computer science rationalist poster and not, like, a South American sex worker or something.

Why didn’t evolution give females big heads if it would make them all geniuses? Another anecdote. My sister has a big head. She was valedictorian in high school I think. She hit her head one day in middle school during gym class by running into a wall. She also fell off a bike and hit her head in high school. I have never hit my head and I think the main reason is that my arms are strong enough to catch myself. So maybe the big headed women would-be-ancestors fell and hit their heads.[1]

Classics of Reason

Spam machines are only ever funny or interesting by accident. The more they smooth out the wrinkles the more creatively useless they become. The tension is sort of fascinating.

Like I’ve always been interested in generative poetry and other manglings of text, and ChatGPT’s so fucking dull compared to putting a sentence through babelfish a few times.

Not my fight either way tbh

You know what would be awesome is if there was a way to easily see new posts to a thread, like if the “New” button actually put New posts on top. Maybe lemmy truly is too janky for that but it’s a shame because I just start to ignore threads after a while.

I was going to say something about use value, but BTC doesn’t have any exchange value either lol
