Cosmic horror is a close up on a man in a bowler hat's face in totally despair and creeping towards madness as lights and colors play across their face, screams of terror and pleasure crescendo giving way to Ode to Joy sung by a thousand angels, the man's face begins to laugh and contort, his eyes drift to the sides of his head his skull reshapes into non-euclidian shapes, angles that shouldn't exist, rubbery, and clear, a hand neither plant nor animal created from the remains of transdimentional beingings beyond comprehension and all known preception from a three dimentional mind space consume the rubbery man, in ecstasy.
Egberton Fleggious closes the Tome bound in the flesh of his beloved Sagithhorg, sickness drawing up from the soles of his feet, his head trembling with thoughts he will never be free from. In the distance he hears faint laughing. Drawing slowly closer. With every heartbeat.
They came from Hawaii, milk bottles or containers of some kind had the cardboard circle under the cap, and kid's made up this game with them at the breakfast table
Black members of the church didn't exist before 1978. If you had any African ancestry at all they wouldn't even teach you, you couldn't join at all, it was part of the missionary lessons, they asked you if you had any African heritage.
Technically Mormanism blame people, not God for this, everything in the church is done unanimously, and they had to wait for the last leadership person who was overly racist to die before they could do this.
But also, the belief is that people recieve from God what they are capable of hearing and understanding, God didn't change his mind, people just didn't listen or even ask the right question in the past to get this information. Lastly, both Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young said as prophecy specifically that the church would admit African heritage people into the church and into the priesthood, Smith likely ment it would happen in his lifetime, but he was too busy 'secretly' marrying and having sex with 10 or 12 teenage girls, poor guy must have been exhausting, before someone caught him and he had to get a bunch of revelation on how he wasn't just banging teenage girls because he wanted to, but because you know. God said. Anyway he was busy with the sex and also a group of followers decided after this all came to light to dress up in black and shoot him. So. He never got around to it. Young on the other hand probably ment like ''when pigs fly'' kind of 'it'll happen'. He was pretty deeply racist, his time frame wasn't like SOON.
Here's my advice, don't bother with the theology, just push the whole thing off the table and don't care. Would have saved me a lot of time. When you engage with the actual theology it's just... so fucking time consuming.
It really depends on the situation some couples want the doner more involved like a godfather, or uncle. Some want it illegal for the kid to ever talk to you or meet you even if you someday decide you want to. I know s couple that brokered their situation threw a third party so the doner wouldn't even know anything about them.
Eugenics in is the garbage heap of history for this kind of thinking. Evolution is never 'done' and there are no perfect people, there is no ubermench, no Superman, and no Pinnnacle of human genetics, you could be born cut and discovering new fields of math and science by 8, then die of a congenital heart defect at 26. You can live 110 years fully functional and never develop past the intellectual benchmarks of a 7 year old. There's no perfect. No one's genes are 'good' or 'bad' only more typical or less typical, and typical can be a lot better than less typical in some categories, much worse in others. One of my kids started talking at 6mon. Like full on sentences. She developed very early. So it's she a genius? She's very smart, she hits all her benchmarks at school. But no, she's not moving up in grades or anything, early development isn't superior development, that's a big misconception. What you think a perfect human is won't match what others think. The more you learn about human biology, the more your going to learn that the statics can't be boiled down to RPG stats. It's millions of factors and what is good or best is entirely subjective.
It's photoshoped, the jawlines below the hair are sharp, but the image isn't in focus enough to make those sharp lines, there's blurring on her chin area also, it's amaturish! But for a meme it's good enough.
Hilariously enough there's tons of empirical data that shows people are far more productive in socializing environments where micromanaging doesn't happen, and arbitrary rules aren't put in place. Give people an actual sense of community, they actually engage in work they have to get done.
They put new AI controls on our traffic lights. Cost the city a fuck ton more money than fixing our dilapidated public pool. Now no one tries to turn left at a light. They don't activate. We threw out a perfectly good timer no one was complaining about.
But no one from silicone valley is lobbing cities to buy pool equipment, I guess.
Everything I've read about the Freemasons has been clearly written by people who hate freemasons, I mean... I don't keep going past the obvious tell, but I've been inside looking out on a my own strange outsider culture so, I just can't take haters at face value. As far as I can tell. It's a club.
Dude everyone hates your high fives. Everyone. Penis or no. You over aggressive high fivin' fool. (I mean this mostly in jest, if it stings for 30min you're a wuss)
