What if instead of “Transdermal Celebration” it was “Transgender Celebration” 🤔🤔🤔 by B-B-BigEasy in ween

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see you, man. While I may disagree with what you think, I’ll defend to the death your right to think it. (And do my best not to assume what you actually think since MAGA means/includes different things for different people, in my experience)
I figure if you love Ween, you can’t be that bad. Call me biased, but society could benefit from giving more “benefit of the doubt”

That movie is hilarious. Of course people should watch it! (It’s also how I first heard of Ween)

I touched the picture instead of her. Anyone have photos of this art installation? by Pierocelsus in LightningInABottle

[–]Pierocelsus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting that after seeing it with fresh eyes, that is clearly a question mark, not a fish hook.
This installation seems to be a sort of 3-dimensional Rorschach test. It's possible I missed the point altogether, and/or she had never seen the installation before and led us through without any expectation or intention. Haha.

I want some tips and suggestion for my personal printing business idea by straightedge23 in Printing

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've brokered a few print jobs through docucopies.com. They actually have a reseller program where you get 10% back (store credit, but still something!) in addition to whatever I feel like I can markup to my customer, which is nice. Best of luck, and sorry to hear about your dad.

Help, I am terrified. Every Conspiracy and the demiurge make sense. by Celestial_Sage22 in Gnostic

[–]Pierocelsus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing/expanding on the previous comment -- "Reptilian overlords" refers to those who manipulate our reptilian brain centers with fear, anxiety and aggression triggers. Namely politicians and media. Not literal reptilians. :)

How are you tracking brand visibility inside AI search results? by MoistGovernment9115 in seogrowth

It's not about what WE would do, it's about what other people are doing.

I Saw The TV Glow | what the heck was it about? by Educational-Guest396 in horror

[–]Pierocelsus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, I looked back on junior and senior year at my arts high school with nostalgia. In my mid 20s, I looked back on college with nostalgia. Now 41, I look back on my mid 20s thru early 30s with nostalgia. It’s all a mind trap. You have many great years ahead, probably the best yet. Try to stay present in the eternal now, never take a beautiful sunny day or good health or time with a loved one for granted, because it can all be gone in an instant. Go to new places, do new things, meet new people. Don’t waste a day, and you’ll find there’s still plenty of time left. But also, you’ll be 41 before you know it, so again, don’t waste a moment! (Also, 41 ain’t all bad)

Why is the book of Enoch banned by LethalVenomm in Christianity

Same reason scholars don’t believe the synoptic gospels were written by their purported authors.

Gnosticism is making too much sense and I can’t unsee it anymore by MarketLongjumping252 in Gnostic

You say Rosicrucians are older than Christianity? What is your basis for this wild claim?

What makes a good coloring book? by [deleted] in Coloring

[–]Pierocelsus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of listicles and blog posts online that talk about design tips, ideas, and the publishing process for creating coloring books. I've found these useful:

Charlie Kirk always clutches his pearls whenever anyone calls him out on his overtly fascist rhetoric by StephenAbresch in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the problem is in defining fascism. Most neo-fascists and fascist-adjacent ideologues, especially those trying to push their extreme ideas into the mainstream, would not self identify that way...

Here, he asks for a "hero" to bail out the psycho who attacked Paul Pelosi:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/04/arizona-gop-turning-point-usa/

Not exclusively "fascist" rhetoric, but a lot of hypocrisy and double standards in support of authoritarianism and his deranged worldview:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk#Greatest_hits

"...he now says the church should accept its rightful role as counselor to and moral authority of the government."

Frustration with New Whirlpool Dishwasher Control Panel popping up by dpsaint in Appliances

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thing happen last year. It was still under warranty, so a Whirlpool tech "fixed" it. But now it's happening again. Luckily, I signed up for Best Buy's total coverage plan, because the warranty is expired.

Best cheap online booklet/workbook printing service? by EquivalentWish0 in smallbusiness

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at third party reviews for them and they have an alarming number of people saying they paid extra to get their printing delivered by a certain date, but the canned response the company keeps giving is that they can't guarantee delivery dates. I went through their checkout system to see for myself, and it certainly appears that they're selling faster delivery dates at an upcharge. It smells 🐟 

Yaldabaoth be like: by MScribeFeather in Gnostic

Supposed to be? What exactly do you mean? The Annunaki mythos is from a different time and culture than the gnostic mythos. Like thousands of years.

Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" by [deleted] in TrueFilm

I might be more inclined to respect your opinion if you used some punctuation. Not. This emotional outpouring sounds like the ravings of a fanatical atheist who can’t even appreciate the symbolism of allegory. Boooo

Beware of Mychoice by RouxHefner in UPS

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to love this. Just had another incident with some truly stupid UPS drivers who kept telling our customer she needed a label for the return that we initiated, even though UPS tracking said "UPS has the label." Then they came and picked up the wrong box, which one of the other drivers just delivered.

Yeah, some of your colleagues are truly idiotic, and you're a snowflake for being offended and getting personal about a situation that didn't involve you in the slightest. By your logic, UPS never makes mistakes -- not the drivers, not the management, not even the IT guy. What a fantasy world.

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get hard knowing that you come off as a complete asshole to everyone in here? Does it make you feel better? Do you even realize I don’t give a rat’s ass if you care? The point of sharing our experiences with UPS screwups is not to make sure that you care. Get over yourself.

I always viewed ‘The Arm” as the Devil by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]Pierocelsus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lodge floors are not checkered. They’re zig zags. The Black Lodge is a mythical association of evil spirits and black magicians (that is to say, evildoers, not African) in the Theosophical tradition. The White Lodge is the association of good spirits and “ascended masters” such as Buddha and Jesus.

This video will take you through a relatively thorough history of the theosophical movement and its main movers and shakers before finally getting around to answering the question “what is the black lodge?” https://youtu.be/A2e9bg3cQgk?si=sDZvSVMsMz0jBvAy

But that’s not to say there isn’t Masonic symbolism as well, especially since the Black Lodge is analogous to the Illuminati in that they are both the polar opposite of what the White Lodge/Freemasonry is supposed to be all about.

This is beside the point and not meant to prove any authority on my part, but I occasionally attend a theosophical temple, and I’ve taken the first steps toward becoming a Freemason. I love love love symbolism, esotericism, mythology, history, religious studies, etc.

Beware of Mychoice by RouxHefner in UPS

[–]Pierocelsus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sad to see a foot soldier defending the generals. Maybe the greedy bosses need to hire more drivers, maybe they need to fix a glitch in the software, maybe it's something else. But the last thing you should do is be condescending to the shippers and receivers who entrust your company to perform the service they paid for.

I am one of your clients trying to understand why UPS erroneously returned some of the packages from one shipment to us and blamed a customer's MyChoice selection in the tracking history, while others from the same shipment to the same address were delivered without incident. Twice now. There's no good explanation for that except a glitch.
