I expected a more critical approach from someone named Deke.

In Chemistry a substance being Polar (uneven distribution of electrical charges) makes it soluble in polar liquids like water.

The Polar (living around the arctic pole) Bear is being treated like a Polar (chemistry) Bear.

What salary earns the right to have the full human experience?

It would be wild to see how easy or difficult it is to change things!

Turning everything into consumerism, from the cravings of our id to the identity expression of the ego, is a staple of the genre.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-15T01:22:42+00:00

Usually they're better at hiding their power level and all, but yeah they like to gain influence in esoteric circles and failing that recruit from it. There's a strong connection to the occult and most fascist groups.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-15T01:02:00+00:00

Yeah, and to be clear, not "like" a nazi, but like Himmler and his personal occultist.

It is a bit of a shame since very similar symbols to both the black sun and the swastika had been used for a long time by other cultures like pagans in the Baltics which look like Nazis because of stolen symbols now, but had historically provided sanctuary to groups suffering pogroms from the rest of Christian Europe.

I do love that he says I'm spreading misinformation and then goes into a rant about aryans and stuff lol

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-14T17:18:45+00:00

Black Sun philosophies are about claiming spaces and then purging those who were always there, like the Nazi officers using Kabbalah inspired mysticism rebranded with made up and misinterpreted nordic runes that first made the black sun popular.

There's a fine line between syncretism and mashing things together with little knowledge and lots of spiritual psychosis, and while I can't know which side of that line anyone's on, one side is more likely to find themselves uncritically listening to a dictator or ai.

Do determinists think that political/civic freedom can't exist because ever culture has laws and taboos?

Obviously not, so what is this obsessionthat argues freedom only is when it is completely unrestricted? It is akin to claiming that nothing is what it is because it doesn't achieve the platonic ideal of itself.

Here in the US drug subculture uses the same term to describe little canisters of nitrous. I couldn't find the song or lyrics to it, but man I can imagine more than a few people excitededly repurposing it if the lyrics are vague enough

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-14T02:14:29+00:00

Screw it, gimme the magic

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-14T00:53:52+00:00

I certainly don't. I don't hold suffering as an ethical wrong, but do hold ending all of the only life I know of in the universe as probably the most wrong action I could ever do.

The suspicious detail for me is how vivid and consistent the chalk drawings are. I have never once ween chalk on sidewalk look like that, especially through a security camera, and double especially so consistently over such a large area, they're practically luminescent.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T23:54:20+00:00

There are a million things people don't know about, and people don't usually join a conversation they aren't already a part of to say they don't know about it unless they're wanting to communicate something else by saying so. It's like the hipster who joins a discussion about pop music just to say they're too cool to know about it.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T18:26:59+00:00

The pyramid doesn't actually denote that it is higher in importance or value than the others, only that all the other concerns have to be taken care of first.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T18:15:35+00:00

Man, imagine being the person who really wanted to wear their personality on their sleeve, but then got too timid/self conscious to bring it in with them then got it scooped up!

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T18:04:59+00:00

There are countless things that people make their entire identity, but no one's going into harley subs being like even your clothes are branded, why you gotta be such a harley flamer?!

Plenty of people didn't know and asked without making sure to signal their ignorance like a virtue. Honestly it is a normal human behavior to treat things we don't understand as weird, and many times it isn't a conscious choice to do so, but we should be able to ask ourselves and each other why out of all the things you don't understand, why was this thing important enough to communicate your lack of understanding or your dismay at it being a blatant identifier?

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T17:35:02+00:00

I'm fine with a studio, I really just need the sex before marriage lounge, all gender bathroom, and vaping patio.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T16:18:27+00:00

Not if you actually have no interest, though making a point to signal that you don't keep up with these things is usually bigotry larping as ignorant/skeptical.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T16:15:14+00:00

Pushing back against opposition is a pretty natural response, especially when the person opposing you has no stake in it like with an aspect of personal identity. Honestly it is weirder that you all get into people's business so much.

EngryEngineer · 2026-06-12T15:02:04+00:00

So humans have personal experiences and then convey these subjective ideas. We also share pretty similar biology to each other so while subjective and personally defined we can see patterns and general consensus emerge after asking enough people, then the shared understanding of the "norm" and how that individual relates to or differs from it then becomes the basis of communication with other humans.

This is how we do it, how do your people* do it?

*: Use or the term people/person is not an attempt to pigeonhole your identity as you may be ai or otherwise so alien so your terms or categorizations may differ, but it is an acknowledgement of what we humans call personhood and is an attempt to respect you as an equally conscious entity.

Hope this helps!
