Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Copypasting an intentionally hingeless rant I sent in a group-chat some years back:
I do not care for the ocean… But most of the ocean is just sorta THERE. They’re ugly and freaky but they just do their thing because they are brainless. Someitmes literally. The Man-o-War has giant building-sized tentacles because it LITERALLY does not have a brain, and so compensates by being a living fishing net. You gonna hate on a creature that doesn’t even know it exists? Like sure, do that, but it’s like being angry at a rock.
Dolphins though? Dolphins are different. Dolphins have tasted of the fruit of knowledge, on the same day humans, corvids, rats, and elephants ate the fruit and were cast out of paradise, the Dolphins crawled out of the sea, climbed the tree with their little flippers, and gorged themselves on those forbidden fruits.
Dolphins have complete knowledge of good and evil. AND THEY HAVE CHOSEN EVIL.
Dolphins hunt for sport and leave their kills to rot.
Dolphins use live blowfish as dolphin weed.
Dolphins rape animals, not limited to other dolphins, but interspecies rape too.
AND dolphins get all sorts of special treatment from idiot humans who think that because they are squeaky and can jump through hoops, they must be like doggos from the ocean. In reality they are the spawn of Satan upon this world.
On the other OTHER hand, The Sims 1 was done under EA’s thrall.
… For real?
I was a child that didn’t understand english when I played Diablo, so I’m willing to take it at face value but like.
For real?
I’m good. I mean, there’s a hell portal right next to a certain town in the countryside, but even the demons of this world are more “asshole characters and weird animals” than actual-ACTUAL-demons. Plus they seem to have completely handled issues of poverty and such by taming all of nature with magic, even if they still use money and have jobs. Less ‘socialism’ and more ‘post-scarcity society, but with magic instead of tech’.
… I’m talking about Equestria from Gen 4 My Little Pony by the way.
… Then again ponies are like SUUUUPER racist, so if I end up there as a human, I think I’d be experimented on.

Catbox (linked by the other commenter) seems to work for short little video snippets too.
But. Noted on the youtube thing.
That worked, thanks.

They all suck in different ways. But I actually think the Catholics are more chill in general, the fucked up shit their bishops get up to notwithstanding, the Catholic Church has mostly just stayed in the background since the early 20th century. Letting the world do its thing while occasionally calling something or another sinful (and only their faithful listening).
Contrasting with the influence Protestantism has in like. All of US Conservative Ideology, which trickles outwards to conservatives EVERYWHERE.
They may not have a pope to embody the face of their ideology (though Trump is in the process of becoming that, watch this space), but it is a consistent ideology, and its god is wealth, and poverty and deviance the greatest sins.
Yah pretty much.
Like. The Reformation broadly started as a decentralised movement against the Catholic Church’s authority in western europe. BUT the only reason the likes of Martin Luther and John Calvin weren’t killed for the shit they were stirring up (and/or forced to retract it on penalty of torture and death) –
– Was because they were being protected by the then-nascent bourgeoisie class, who loved the wild ideas that the two were putting forward, like Luther’s Sola Fide theology that said they would go to heaven as long as they believed in Jesus, even if they did every sin in the book and never performed one good act in their lives, or Calvin’s predestination theology that said people were already born bound for heaven or hell, and being wealthy/poor on earth was a sign of divine favour/displeasure.
You gotta remember people were a lot more religious then. So these merchant princes really liked these guys who were telling them “no no, it’s okay, the Church IS a bunch of cunts, and don’t worry, that camel-through-eye-of-needle thing in the bible is all bullshit and you being richer than a king is a sign you’re going to super-heaven which is better than regular heaven”
If you see shades of modern day American megachurch Prosperity Theology in this? Good, you should. That’s where it started.
Not to say the catholic church was ever nice (I just said they would have killed two guys if they weren’t under the protection of other powerful people), but protestantism was broadly boosted by capitalism, because it soothed and comforted capitalists.
You forget that protestantism was basically invented from the ground up to be “Christianity rewritten to be extremely capitalist”
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

meant, after literal years of typing it in not knowing anything other than “this updates the packages”, because I got curious and googled it.To me it was just an adeptus mechanicus incantation.
EDIT: And I still have no clue how ‘y’ translates to ‘refresh the database’. Like. Sure. S to synchronise from the server to the computer. And u to mark for update all the updatable packages. But – Why the fuck is ‘y’ the refresh?
