there’s plenty of art that predates jung or hellmut, by one or more centuries, depicting alchemy as a spiritual process (opus magnum). much of its depiction is influenced by abrahamic religions (but not exclusively). i think its safe to assume colonialism played the same problematic role in both of our understandings around its origin. nonetheless, the framework seems to have existed long before the victorian era by my understanding, though i’d agree there are old and new interpretations alike that uphold purity culture/white supremacy.
i treat the metaphorical alchemy much like 12-tet music as we know it: the church propagated it, but influences internal and external to the church can still grow into something else (e.g. music that would protest/defy/have nothing to do with the church). alchemy as an understanding of death/rebirth cycles through heat/pressure/blood/sweat/tears is sensible to anyone observing the natural world (e.g. pagans and ancient greeks saw this), and (for example) the notion of “burning away impurities” in alchemy doesn’t have to be intertwined with white supremacy purification but instead transforming perpetually. finding old information can be difficult/frustrating when so much of it gets sucked into a new-age bs vortex.
with all of that said, i’m really interested in what you said regarding eastern texts that circumvent aforementioned problematic translation/appropriation about internal and chemical alchemy alike, and medieval and renaissance magic, and would love to learn more if you have any links/book titles to share!
not sure if joking as a bit. do you not think it can be both?
extra humorous if alchemy is only taken as a literal proto-chemistry, disregarding its symbolic roots as proto-psychology (i.e.a type of self-work therapy)


what could pawssibly go wrong?


harrowing and deeply upsetting, and unfortunately the kind of incompetence on the DoJ that i would expect to see on a lot of people’s bingo cards.
what kind of transparent values can civilians offer/audit when trying to suss out which companies are using google’s data without our consent? my guesses are a few usual suspects: parent companies, employer worldview, and how they view ai


the album preceding this was American Capitalist and it was…about how it sounds. No love lost in dropping them
also if WebMs can be embedded, please someone let me know how since they show up blank in the post preview


Part of me hopes it winds up in a courtroom, if only there’d be a flashback montage, and Dex being fully out to the world with Harrison’s support. He’d probably become a boogeyman in prison and/or get a reduced sentence for what he has on Prater
I grew up loving the EWJ games and cartoon. I was pretty dismayed to discover Doug has repeatedly said/written awful, bigoted things


Anarchists oppose the hierarchy created by government and capitalism alike. It sounds like the people you’re describing don’t really practice the anarchist ethos


Season 4 of You (kinda), but anything’s possible for Dexter Resurrection
Would that make LibreWolf a good candidate for an echo fighter?

I hear about people wanting alternatives to discord though I never got into using it too much personally, but does anyone know about whether or not Revolt chat is a good open-source self-hostable solution?


iirc, Unite had an option that toggled whether moving forward was relative to the camera vs character orientation. If you remap the camera to the right stick, it’s way easier to circle-strafe. The left shoulder button is more ideal for sharp turnarounds, like if a mon charges past and is 180° behind you or after dodging


Claw = use the side of your left index finger to control the d-pad camera. Left thumb still on stick to move, and your middle finger takes over the shoulder button. For the record, the claw isn’t really a fond memory (to me at least), even if it’s a funny one.
If it were me, I’d just remap the right joystick to the d-pad so you can spare your fingers the pain!


Do you have other MH experience?
Longsword was a lot simpler in Unite so that’s a good medium-weight weapon that you can dodge easily with.
Sword n shield is very beginner friendly for its item usage while wield (very important while learning how to paintball consistently or learn the timing windows for healing)
Hammer is great for learning because it has more low-commitment attack options than other slow weapons while you learn your openings
what will this mean for the upcoming motorola phones that can come with gOS installed?
