So, people aren’t consuming alcohol as they did. Media attribute this a lot to Gen Z being more health aware, 😂 or financial situation. Well, Gen Z is vaping like there is no tomorrow, drugs like marijuana are also very popular among them, I would not say they are health aware, and alcohol is actually very cheap in shops. It is the pubs and bars that spike the prices.
What I believe is the real cause is the rise in what media calls “male loneliness” brought to you by dating apps and feminist hysteria about rape culture. There was a time when you found some drunk bitches and you had fun. 😂 But we live in the post-me too era. Women can report your fun, and you will have fun with Pookie and Ray Ray in the prison.
Bars, and clubs sold drinks to men that bought them for girls. The blokes have wisen up though. Punani first drinks later. Drinks at home because it is cheaper. And since there isn’t any punani to get drunk for most dudes, it is over, might as well stay sober. Alcohol culture is another victim of the decline of the simp economy.
Any of you bitches wanna ride my magic broomstick?
Guys, I am absolutely fascinated by this phenomenon of modern witchcraft religion. It seems that Christian hysteria and later anti-clerical fantasizing has literally memed Wicca into existence. The witch trials over 16th and 17th centuries in Europe and the American colonies were in my opinion a wave of moral panic at a time of famine, plague, depopulation, and diminishing power of the Western Church. The problem is compounded by our information about Early Modern witchcraft coming exclusively from Christian sources and folk tales.
But the era of the witch trials was promptly followed by an era of Enlightenment with a profoundly anti-clerical ideals. The French Revolution did away with the Catholic Church as an agent of the Ancien Régime. Some people like Jules Michelet thought witchcraft was a rebellion of the lower classes against the Church and feudalism. It apparently was a folk religion based on a belief in fairies. Personally, I am not sure Medieval or Early Modern peasantry had it in them to organize any religion or make it widespread. Ed Dutton mentions that these were often maladaptive women, who lived cast out of the mainstream society and practiced healing, abortions and other medical services to survive. But Michelet offered one of the first account sympathetic to witchcraft even though it was largely BS.
Another author was Matilda Joslyn Gage, a first wave feminist, who believed in matriarchal prehistory, and she claimed the witches were part of a Great Mother cult that is very ancient. This fascination with organized religion that reproduces itself over generations is very much Christian inspired. The Jewish tradition of holy books is what perpetuates a tradition. Most mystery schools of antiquity did not leave us with any written tradition. Therefore it is hard to believe that there ever was a paralel pagan religion.
Charles Leland went to Italy, and wrote about a purported tradition worshipping Diana and Lucifer. The modern witchcraft tradition pretty much combines feminism with mysticism and the worship of two gods. A horned god male and a moon goddess female. Diana was the goddess of the hunt and protector of nature, she is also associated with magic, Luna is her celestial representation. The Wicca is often conflated with feminist and environmentalist ideas.
The witch-cult entered respectable academic ground when Egyptologist Margaret Murray presented her theory in 1920s. She even wrote an entry in Encyclopædia Britannica on witchcraft. And her theory, now discredited served as a massive inspiration in 1950s to Gerald Gardner, a wealthy member of the Ordo Templi Orientis, an organization run by Aleister Crowley. Gardner took the idea of a witch-cult and married to it ideas from freemasonry and Western mysticism. This is how Wicca was born. Some say it was a way to get this old man, who was also into nudism, some fresh punani.
And it is funny how quickly this LARP was adopted by modern females, this is totally a Christianity story. Persecution, religious codification, diffusion…
I didn’t find the source of this shit but if this happened all I can say is based… 😆👌
Ironically, I think North Korea is a healthier society than South Korea. South Korea has dismal birthrates, K-Pop and radical Christians. I literally saw Protestant fanatics on the streets of Seul preaching some shit I couldn’t understand. Christianity of this kind is the dominant religion there even surpassing Buddhism. 😆👌
I have seen some videos of Russians that went to North Korea, apparently they let them go there now more freely, and while the place looks poorer and less developed than the South, it seems healthier. I heard that some American commies and Black Panthers live there in exile. 😆👌
Ukrainian kids were literally taken on a trip of their lives if the above is even true. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t defend the North Korean regime, I think it is pretty fucked up but honestly they have this eerily based quality about them. 😆👌
So, X has made public the country of origin of accounts and the App Store from which the App was downloaded. Navalny attended the World Fellows Programe at Yale in 2010, and in 2011 he founded FBK, Fund for Combating Corruption. In 2008 Navalny was kinda based. And then he was bought.
This looks like it has a demining apparatus in the front.
These tanks mimic trees, not only does it provide extra cover but trees have proved effective against FPV drones. The tank is still a rather effective weapon but drones were a massive disruption.
I am an old time psychonaut, I have ample experience with drugs. My favorites are tropical Sativa and MDMA. I avoid hallucinogens. As a kid I went clubbing to Prague and popped an impure pill that gave me visions. I didn’t like it…
DMT is said to give you a contact with strange entities, they are called electric elves and tricksters. Since I don’t know where to experience a DMT trip, apparently ayahuasca is the best way to do it, I asked Grok to create images based on reports. 😆👌
There’s surviving, and then there’s thriving in a literal sewer. A colony of guppies—the same tiny tropical fish people keep in desktop aquariums—has managed to do both for more than 40 years in the waste-choked canals of a Kyiv treatment plant.
Guppies are a very hardy fish, I heard they live in rivers of Southern Europe where the winters are mild and the water doesn’t freeze.
Unfortunately, the guppies’ reign is under threat. In recent years, their numbers have declined due to an invasive predator known as the rotan-head (Perccottus glenii), a fish that wandered in and started eating them. Even in the sewers, nothing gold can stay.
This second fish is also an invasive species from Eastern Asia. Species tend to be introduced to places by natural means, some species tend to migrate around the World quite naturally but often this introduction is the work of humans.
