Really? I might have to boot up Steam and try it again. Nice, thanks! You use Wine or something to run it?

I too am upset Rust dropped Linux support a few years ago and never developed the Vulkan graphics engine they had promised. I understand the anticheat issues but still, it’s a fun game. Figure it out, Facepunch.

I thought it was more noxious fumes from meth production that were the main hazard, rather than explosivity.

I downloaded all 4 zip files from the release today and converted the thousands of single-image pdfs to jpg for easy browsing, it comes out to 1.5gb and 8400 or so images. A lot of pictures are of rooms assumably taken at Li’l St. James or another of Epstein’s properties. Contents of drawers, closets, scrapbooks, paper effects, photos and paintings. I’m maybe a quarter of the way through, there have been a few photos but nothing with Trump in them.

I encourage anyone else to download and convert the files and browse through them. I thought there would be hundreds of thousands though, not 8400.

How many mosquito bites did you get today?

True enough. Hey if we try hard enough maybe gen Z can reevaluate it - let’s include Gen Jones and the Xennials and Zillenials

I mean let’s count - boomers, gen x, millenials, gen z is only 4 generations later. Generation gamma or delta can decide if it’s a redeemable symbol and I cant imagine they’ll care all that much what their great (great) grandparents generation thought about it.

1 occasionally the user base freaks the fuck out and starts spamming the same thing, like this. I don’t like Nazis, but that also means I don’t want literally everything on my funny picture site to be about keeping them out. 2 increasingly all the popular stuff isn’t memes at all, but shitting on trump and musk.

Doesnt sound all that different from here especially on #1, case in point beans, jeans and more recently corn for some reason

My neighbor uses Imgur as his main social media. I take that with a grain of salt though since he’s a millenial who only used flip phones til 2022, there are dozens like him, dozens!

I believe 7 generations is the gold standard

Somewhat relatedly, the W Bush administration expanded mental health screening and recordskeepint, and broadened the use of somewhat dangerous antipsychotics for non psychotic conditions in the wake of the Patriot Act.

Man, I think I still had an active Fark account more recently than I visited tucows but I remember it.

I think this is the answer. I’ve seen similarly conspicuous altruism from Juggalos.

Maby if you are a wistleblower or someone the government would want to keep track of, they may somehow engineer a biological weapon that does not harm but will replicate itself just enough for it to be released from behind and let them know where you are.

You know, if that infamous author hadn’t written Do Not Create The Torment Nexus: A Cautionary Tale, there is an excellent chance the Torment Nexus would never have been built.

Guy came into my workplace this week and I was saying I was slowly getting into developing a game engine with SDL. When he heard I was using ubuntu he recommended Bazzite, saying he has no trouble with it and uses his machine mostly for gaming. Is it Debian based or something else? At least it’s not that meme distro Arch I guess, might try it

Oh fuck yeah, you’re speaking my language here!

A gym where people talk to you? No thanks. I’ve been going to my current gym, which is quite busy, for 6 years. Nobody has even made eye contact yet. Good times.

Fyi if you’re anxious or shy or whatever the gym is the place for you, nobody will bother you at all, generally. Very easy to disappear in the crowd, even if you’re funny looking or something.

Also, in Dr. Hillman’s book Original Sin: Child Rape and the Church he outlines how medieval and earlier rape of children by church leaders led directly out of Jesus’ pederasty, something the priests wrote at length about using Jesus’ actions as justification.

His other book The Chemical Muse was instrumental in getting academia to admit the widespread use of recreational drugs in antiquity.

Dr. Hillman doesnt get any money from the purchase of these books and he encourages you to pirate them.

Hey they crucified him for being arrested in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) in the middle of the night with a naked ~12 year old boy with a bandage on his junk (some drugs and eunuchs shit) - somehow Christians miss this crucial plot point of his big act. All the other apostles were at that time, out cold on the drugs he had given them.

Crucified between two other traffickers too, lestes in the Greek, same sort of people who held Julius Caesar for ransom - after Caesar got free he instituted crucifixion as the standard punishment for traffickers.

They mistranslate it as thieves and say Jesus was marked as a political rebel or something but the mob of people and heavily armed soldiers that came for him were very justified in their anger.

You might be interested in Dr. Ammon Hillman, his doctorate is in classical philology and he has a masters in immunology as well, he’s been reading and translating Ancient Greek for 35 years, including a lot of neglected medical texts. He asserts that both the Old and New testaments of the Bible were originally written in Greek, within a couple hundred years of each other. He has a lot of praise for Satan and the figure’s apparent origins in Greek culture (Diana Lucifera and other mentions), and talks about Satan predating both Judaism and Christianity.

Hes also got plenty of scorn for Jesus, who according to his seemingly rigorous translation of the Greek bible was on a lot of drugs throughout his life and during his death, and was sexually exploiting and trafficking minors (the Apostles apparently ranged in age from 10-19)

He did some decent interviews on the Danny Jones show and on Hamilton Morris’s podcast, and Ammon hosts a live stream a couple times a week at Lady Babylon on youtube. The name of his channel comes from Medea, a “sorceress” from Scythia who became queen of Babylon at one point. She was Hecate’s daughter and sister to Circe from the Odyssey, and apparently was the first named person in history referred to as a “Christ”, a term that he has showed at length refers to the use of drugs in antiquity. We get the word “medicine” from Medea.

Pretty outlandish if you’re not familiar with him but despite his sometimes abrasive and eccentric presentation style I feel like the picture he paints of the ancient Greek world during the few centuries around the time of Jesus makes a lot of sense, and I appreciate that his channel is non-monetized and he doesnt accept donations for what he does sharing what he’s found in half a lifetime of studying Greek source texts.
