Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.

Like, I reject this idea that people end up becoming tradwives or antivaxxers or cult members because they were dumb. These groups prey on people by filling the social and emotional needs of vulnerable people. They look for people who need help, and give it to them on predatory conditions.

Fucking around with astrology does not introduce some sort of idealogical poison to your brain. That is ridiculous. Some people turn to astrology because they want a sense of agency in an increasingly atomized world. Some people get into astrology because the night sky is pretty. People /believe/ in astrology because they have some underlying desire to believe in astrology.

High control groups will trawl astrology communities looking for the despondent directionless mfers with few community ties. This trick works even better on college campuses, which are full of despondent directionless mfers with few community ties.

I am frustrated with this idea that participating in ostensibly silly things somehow lowers your psychic defense stat, as if it's a video game. That's now how indoctrination works. You are mistaking a correlation for a causation.

more stuff about becoming a god being inherently dehumanizing pls

too much focus on Ascension or becoming Greater not enough focus on what is Lost of you

you're not a person anymore, just a personification. you're a concept, an abstraction. all neatly defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagueries or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal.

you can never change, now. never grow or evolve, you are this, forever, stagnant. and the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.

been thinking about fantasy/scifi rule systems and free will

​no lie I had to get up to shake my ass this is potent

Need this to be every Monday…

"Oh you had a plague? Come back to us when you had a World War, brand new unconventional weapons, and a new international order."

I apologize.

Oh, Charles. The hubris. Honey. You had to know this was a possibility. Why would you tempt Apollo like that.

I love how we don't even need Apollo to be captioned, it's just "he's holding a dodgeball and looks Greek statue, of COURSE it's Apollo delivering the gift of prophecy unto unsuspecting tumblr users"

Absolute fucking trainwreck of a post

Oh gee I wonder why this is going around again

The way fantasy writers talk about a thousand years as this uneventful amount of time is really funny to me because like—in less than 1000 years we went from the Norman Invasion of England to Skibidi Toilet.

Anytime your instinct is to write 1000 years, the accurate time gap is almost always gonna be somewhere between 80 & 200 years

sorry your kid wouldnt stop naming pokemon in order so we had to flatten em into a sheet of lasagna

palestinians were massacred and bombed to drive them out of the north of gaza, and they were told that the south was safe. then israel wiped out the south of gaza and promised safe evacuation if palestinians fled to rafah which is now being violently bombed as well. if israel's goals aren't clear here, i don't know what else could prove it

quds news network reported that israeli strikes targeted a mosque in the yebna refugee camp in rafah and it is no coincidence that people are saying that they are hearing less abt palestine as the days go on, well its because israel is murdering the brave journalists who have been sharing the atrocities

Found this in the comments of Shaun's latest video on Andrew Tate, in which he talks pretty extensively about how important it is for men to find ways to be confident in their genders without trying to adhere to, or enforce, anyone else's ideas of manhood on anyone.

Highly recommend checking it out.

Anyway. I rarely see folks talk about the positive impact transmascs have on manhood as a whole, and I think it's important to acknowledge and celebrate that.

That’s SO cool to see it explained

Something like this made its way into european music in flamenco via gitanos/romani people whose origin was ultimately in india

None of the people he showed look like each other and yet he looks like all of them

how does it feel to be the funniest person on earth

normalise being bad at roofs in minecraft. normalise not being able to make an aesthetically pleasing roof to save your life in minecraft.

Normalize just digging into the side of a mountain to avoid making roofs in Minecraft

yall need me to tap the sign?

here’s a roof guide that i use because i used to be shit

i dont remember the source, b/c ive had this for like years, but i suggest messing around with these roofs with different shapes/sizes of buildings

in fact, you can mix and match and have one roof with a side room with a different roof on it

honestly, have fun

I’ve had these saved for a long time and unfortunately don’t know the source either, but here are the other tutorials from this artist if anybody is interested!

Oh! These are super cool!
