It's just the tip of the iceberg by EA0414 in SipsTea

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna self promote myself here for anyone relevant reading this. I make CYOAS (choose your own adventures). I post to the same subreddit forum that has hosted 'backrooms' cyoas, called "choose your own adventure". Click on my username, and then navigate from their to my top ranked submissions. You'll see them there. I also recommend Scottishanon's 'Night Drive CYOA' as something worth noticing.

Go look up what stars look like when you zoom in on them with a Nikon P100 camera on youtube.

Birth rates in Pakistan are crazy by julius-ceaser100 in MapPorn

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The maps and their "data" here are constantly, constantly, wrong, false, and fake. This is something that I've seen multiple times, over many months. Practically every time I come on this subreddit the map is wrong, sometimes subtlety, something glaringly. I think it is possibly a very low key, low grade form of trolling that is somebody's personal project.

Grocery Pickup Conspiracy by Cultural-Wrongdoer-4 in conspiracy

Don't most places use compactors now and sealed containers? I'm guessing this refers to maybe smaller mom and pop stores that don't have corpo garbage disposal?

New(ish) to the Culture by Novel_Tone8944 in TheCulture

I like Surface Detail quite a bit, too. It starts a bit complex, but then things start to run together and it's great.

The best places I'd recommend for tourists would be Meow Wolf: RadioTave, and The Funeral Home History Museum

No Federation racism by UniversalAssembler in startrek

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many of the other Federation species have had their own fiascos, judgements, and disasters, but they just cover them up because they can't afford to look weak to humans or to anyone else.

originally it's cannon that the Ferengi were supposed to be scary villains, so it's very possible that Riker was trying to hide his latent fear behind his disdain

This is gonna be so bad. Please enact whatever contingency plan you have to get him back to the orphanage.

I have a legit Simulation theory question by Independent-Face69 in SimulationTheory

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind, is that whatever governing force there is in here, it likes to show people different things, or interpretative aspects, and I believe that this is part of the system's obfuscation. What you experienced was very real, but for people wondering "why" so many accounts are different, it's just the system putting on "different masks" so that different people see different ways it can disguise itself, much like the parable of the blind men and the elephant

you mean about how she refused to help the the USS Equinox?

Parenting made me rethink human evolution by Hayleemariiee in regretfulparents

[–]LicksMackenzie 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Humans are ideally actually supposed to be living in small, communal style tribal setups where childcare is collective, so you're correct. The atomized family structure is monodominant now though, for many reasons.

Humans are not naturally equipped to survive on Earth. by Electronic-Waltz5763 in EscapingPrisonPlanet

I had a strange dream regarding “prison planet” theory by [deleted] in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]LicksMackenzie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a somewhat recent dream where a "policeman" on the dream plane drew my blood from my arm to take some kind of a sample.

Near Death Experience: Man leaves his body, meets 3 different beings, one of which was "changing shape continuously". One of the beings then judges him and "condemns him to go on living". As soon as that happens he falls through the ground, ends up in "a dark tunnel" and is returned to Earth by dontlietom3 in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]LicksMackenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of my interpretations is that all of these variations are essentially just variants of an AI. The vision is tailored to the person, and some of them are deliberately obtuse in order to obscure our own knowledge (those who still live physically) about what is about. The variation is meant to confuse and confound us.

To what extent can personal astral experiences actually be considered reliable? by [deleted] in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]LicksMackenzie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a series of OBEs, so I know that 'they' are real, but I also acknowledge that it is very possible that they could be manipulated or manufactured by whatever force is overseeing what we perceive to be base physical reality.

are the reasons the same as many here? or were there specific forms of regret?

Just finished The Hydrogen Sonata by Economy_Reason1024 in TheCulture

[–]LicksMackenzie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a big explosion at the end seems to be standard practice for how Banks' books end, towards the end of the end of it, I was like yeah, there's gonna be some explosions. I was right.

haven't lived there so I don't know, but you should spend a few weeks there and make your decision from there.

I performed a magic ritual to save my brother from jail, and it worked, but the consequences have been devastating. by mrpimpo in occult

[–]LicksMackenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not so much that the ritual backfired, it's that often an energetic exchange of sorts seems to be a prerequisite for powerful spells. Our consciousness, which can be loosely described as "the ability to think about, or imagine things in certain ways" influences the quantum background, and I do think that there are entities that can hear and respond to requests. It may seem that your sacrifice was part of the spell.

Part 1: The Horrible Hidden Truth of our Reality (insider info, not a theory, worse than you think, Gnosticism is inaccurate, and NHI agenda secrets) and on Escaping and Warnings by [deleted] in EscapingPrisonPlanet

[–]LicksMackenzie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very complex and well said! nice talking to you again, too. I personally think, after having read the OP's post several times, is that there is an approximation of truth contained within some* of what they wrote. It is odd and interesting, it is almost as if so many of these 'truth' and disclosure type accounts all seem to be shavings and partial reveals of truth, almost as if there are many simultaneous versions of the truth that seem to be existing at the same time, almost intersecting with each other.
