  • According to Mormons, god is literally male, with (perfect) male genitalia. There is also a god–the-mother, who is female, and is both secret and sacred (they really don’t like talking about her), and also utterly subservient to god the father, because of course she is. According to Mormon theology, both gods were once mortal, and were raised up to godhood by their godly parents; Mormons–if they’re good enough–can go to Mormon super-heaven, where they will also become gods in their own right. Before everyone was born physically, they were born spiritually, in… More or less the same way babies are born now, except in heaven, to a heavenly mom. And there were hundreds of billions of spirit babies, so I guess that god the dad and god the mom really like sex or something? The implications start getting really, really weird, very fast. Which is part of the reason why Mormons don’t usually want to talk about stuff like this with people that aren’t Mormon.

    I believe that the quote is, “As man is, so once was god. As god is, so man can become,” or something like that.

  • You shouldn’t need to. .300 Win mag is long action, so you’re going to be using a bolt action rifle. There’s not going to be too many contexts where you’re going to want to swap out the scope for anything other than fairly long range.

    Why would you us a bow? Range is poor, and lethality is also low, esp. with the access the the ultra-wealthy have to medicine. When you hunt deer with a bow, you can usually expect to have to follow a blood trail, as it’s rarely an instant drop.

    Use a .300 Winchester magnum from 1000 yards; at that distance, you still have about 850 foot-pounds of energy, which is roughly double a 9mm at point black range. With the right ammo, that’s more than enough to get the job done. You probably want a combined mechanical and ammunition accuracy of about .5 MOA range though, so that you have deviation of less than 6" at that range. It’s a challenging shot, but it’s definitely doable if you know your holds and can call the wind.




  • Example: roids. Used appropriately, they can help improve your body.

    Correction: they can improve aspects of your body, at a very, very steep cost. Pretty much all oral anabolic steroids are C17α-alkylated, and they’re hepatotoxic (i.e., cause liver damage). All steroids will fuck up your lipid profile to one degree or another, and all of them can cause heart disease, specifically hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. While most AASs will increase red blood cell count, Boldenone in particular will sharply increase RBC production, which in turn increases blood pressure and can cause strokes. All of them will shut down the hypothalmus-pituitary-testicular axis (HPTA) feedback loop in men, leading to testicular atrophy. Most AASs will cause hair loss in men that are sensitive to DHT. AASs can fuck up your hormones enough that men can start lactating (!!!). High doses of testosterone can cause gynecomastia, because testosterone aromatizes into estradiol. In women, all AAS will cause some degree of virilization.

    There are not very many IFBB pros that make it to 80; if you want your candle to burn brightly, it’s going to burn out fast.









  • Hmmm. Three-way tie, TBH. I’ve been on the internet since before Netscape, so take this for what it’s worth.

    A child (maybe six?) being raped was definitely one of the worst; she was screaming and crying in the brief clip I watched. Apparently it was her father that was raping her; AFAIK he’s in prison for life now. Hopefully his life in prison is very short. I’m not even sure how many years ago this was now.

    Crush videos involving kittens on an .onion site about a decade ago. I clicked on a thumbnail just long enough to verify that yeah, it was what I thought it was, and then left the site. I’ve owned cats my whole life; if I knew someone personally that did that, I would absolutely kill them. Yes, I had a stronger visceral reaction to that than I did a child rape video, and no, that doesn’t make any sense.

    A video from Mexico showing a purported child rapist; he was restrained, and dogs were chewing his genitals off. He had those high, breathy screams of someone in agony that was unable to catch their breath. It ended after the dogs tore his entire lower abdomen to shreds and one of the cartel (?) members cut his throat. Maybe 15 years ago? I’m pretty sure that this was a hi-def video.

    I didn’t watch the video of the Russian officer cutting the head off a Ukrainian POW. I’m past the point of having any desire to watch videos that further decrease my opinion of humanity.
