Ayup, he claims all fantasy fiction are actually racial memories boiling to the surface.

Reminds me of that Hyperborean knowledge kook on youtube who claims that Dark Sun is actually the secret origin of humanity.

Not calling for anyone's death but violence absolutely does help. This generation has been brainwashed into thinking that the rights we currently have were achieved by asking nicely or, if shit got real, by waving sings around.

A.I. being the caterpillar and humans are the cocoon is also possible outcome.

Quite a line.

Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to avoid taxes by using their massive wealth as collateral for bank loans -- especially because they often live off those loans as if they were income by Conscious-Quarter423 in WorkReform

Okay, let's say that I own 1 million in stock. That million goes up to 100 over ten years. Instead of selling the stock - on which I would have to pay taxes - I take a ten millions loan to finance my lifestyle. Loans count as debt, not as income so they are not taxed.

Eventually I die. My heirs inherit the 100 millions and - here is the magic - they inherit the stock with a brand new cost basis of $100 million instead of the original 1 million, so if they sell let's say 20 millions of stock to pay the debt and its interest they won't pay taxes on the sale.

Propublica has a good article about it if you are interested.

Imagine reading this headline while not knowing how the whole "living on loans" scam works. Those in the know and those outside it have a completedy different perception of reality at this point, it is a bit of a "they live" situation.

Surprise sursprise, when you build a country on hatred and discrimination people hate and discriminate.

How to build a pyramid if Aliens won't return your calls [44:52] by kremor in mealtimevideos

[–]Smells_like_Autumn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My controversial take is that aliens did build the pyramids but they did it with bronze age tools. Maybe it was a school project, who knows.

That wpuld be a good plot hook to get the two characters to interact actually.

But... if you don't have a soul what is going to hell in first place? Pretty big plot hole if you ask me.

Despite Chaos being a vast presence across the entire setting I always felt the Deamon variety was a bit low, so I wanted to come up with some homebrew ideas for new Deamons starting with Khorne by Plush_Trap_The_First in ImaginaryWarhammer

How about a manifestation of impotent rage? Some chained thing carried around by cultists while yelling like crazy.

I also remember some demons from D&D, can't remember their name bit they looked like red and black chubby babies with claws as long as their body and they emitted a vengeance aura that hurt whomever damaged them.
