  2. The armies of Napoleon and Hitler used Ukraine as the neighboring base to attack Russia. Over 25 million Russians and Ukrainian Slavs died during the Nazi onslaught of eastern europe, as nazi racial doctrine considered the eastern europeans as racially inferior, similar to the gypsies and jews. The incredible counter-attack waged by the russians in stanlingrad however ended the nazi genocidal plans as well as war machine, and ensured the survival of the Slavs, Jews and gypsies later on. The russian counter-attacks ended permanently the Napoleonic and Nazi regimes, which were the most powerful militaries on earth in those times. However they sustained heavy damage during the invasions especially the nazi one. This is one of the reasons why the Russians are paranoid about hostile military alliances on their very borders. Hungary does not border russia. The russians are not hostile to these countries including ukraine joining EU, as it is an economic alliance, and the russians are also open to joining EU as Russia is a white european christian nation itself . The russians themselves were open to joining Nato many times, though this was rejected by the western leadership even under the times of Yeltsin, who was a staunch western ally back then. Imo, the only reason the western leadership rejected Russian membership in nato could be due to lack of a bogeyman or perceived external threat back then to raise fears against that would justify high defense budgets and the existence of Nato itself at the expense of western taxpayer money.
  3. 20+ hours into the game and IT KEEPS ADDING STUFF. It has like a little Pokemon room now where you can get extra material. You could’ve gotten it a lot earlier but I’ve been doing side-quests which’s unlock new magic spells. I didn’t know this game had seasons and now the whole game is themed with Halloween! Right on time with this month. The game is really a blast and I haven’t finished, even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan there is a lot to explore. The game is still a 9/10 but it’s a solid 9. I still believe it needs a multiplayer and the broom flight competition is absent, you can race tho in a time trial race but not the same, that is ones of my favorite things about the movies (you can fly anywhere tho that’s a plus).

    There's this bitch who keeps stealing my Local Legend record - I cycle for fitness every morning for 25km, 1000m traversed elevation. This lady rides the same track as me daily. The only thing I want to know is if she is on a carbon road bike or not. I am on a little shitty 3 speed internal hub steel bike. Heavy. Slow. HARD. I love my meat grinder. I need to beat this woman! Although I am considering deactivating Strava as I have had 2 incidence of stalkers in the last 6 months.
  9. @Ulax Do you find different kinds of fun in everything you do or is there something you do regularly that you wouldn’t really consider fun conventionally speaking?

  13. Digital is quite different. Computer intelligence overcomes certain biological limits. Humans have very limited memory.

    Clearly, being human and having a higher mind that can even ask what God is, and awaken to it and having teachers to teach me is intelligent design.

  17. Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

    Thought Art replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Personally, I think contemplating why a human experience and not some other finite experience is worthy of questioning and wanting an answer. I won’t be teased out of that. There is juice there because it has to do with will, discernment, and choice or lack there of of infinity. In a proof of Leo’s I think he says God is that with infinite creative sovereignty. So, what’s going on here. Why this stable human experience. I think that if you knew this question you’d be God. Like, why say "You can’t know" if you never tried to know. To know how God create something is pure metaphysics.
  18. @Ulax Do you feel although certain forms of fun you partake in are more or less fulfilling or do you find you don’t like to compare?
  19. It's consistent because you have been in it. Wake up. And it all goes poof. Like any other dream. Have you established yourself as an idealist or a materialist?
  20. Define WE
  21. I used to be more into the idea that if you were to recreate qualities seen in biology like I've mentioned (particularly the cognitive ones like relevance realization, selective attention, self-concern, if it's at all possible to separate them from autopoesis/homeostasis) and of course necessary sensory apparatuses for creating an embodied yet mechanical being, then possibly that would be sentient. But now I would postulate a ground of difference from that (which could potentially be AGI proper) and proper sentience. Because I think autopoesis/homeostasis is such a vital component that mirrors so strongly the experience of sentience (being a localized center of experience as explained earlier) that if the machine doesn't have that, it would be hard to cede that ground, and if the machine does at some point possess autopoesis, its hardware would probably be so similar to biology that we would call it a new kind of biology (if it doesn't run on DNA). And I just think engineering autopoesis at that level would be largely not feasible unless we're so technologically advanced that we have hacked biology anyway (and created "AI" through mutant biology rather than whatever alternative we could find). So I'm not as much closeminded that we could theoretically create something mechanical that becomes sentient, the question is just if it is significantly different from biology or not.

  24. Gave my girlfriend 5-MeO-DMT - Question

    Psychonaut replied to shree's topic in Psychedelics

    I just plug it. Why bother with all that vaping? Just try to not go over 80mg plugged when you are alone. Bad things "could" happen. I would love to be able to share psychedelic experiences with a partner as well. I am very happy for you that she trusted you enough to share the experience with you... Trust is the most important thing in the psychedelics experience especially at those potencies. Just remember 5-Meo-DMT is just one of many tools and it is not always the right tool to use. Sometimes other things are required to free a human being.
