Well, I've watched you squirm for two days straight. Going from denial, to gaslighting, to insincere appeals for empathy, to implicit threats, to just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I'd say I got my pound of flesh.

I hope we can respect each other's boundaries from now on. Have fun. also: stopped straight at bump limit award

Your boundaries have always been fine, they were never challenged in that, nothing never changed on your end, just a bit of insight, and a friendly smile. Whether or not this means anything, is entirely up to you, because things haven't really changed, not really, but I hope they will eventually.

You know what's funny, seeing my ID spell h8?

I can't even remember why any more, I've genuinely forgotten why I'm mad at Leto, why there's so much drive to spite and ruin. I actually, can't remember, all I know is that I'm supposed to, and I don't think that's healthy, or normal.

Either I need to remember why I have this much spite, or the target of it needs to see the final product of said spite of which, I've genuinely forgotten the origins of. You think with this much hate, this much pettiness, this much anger, I would remember, but I honestly can't, and it's gotten me way over my head than I wanted it to be.

I remember why I hate Leto again, had to take some time to remember it, but I remember now; however, half of it is actually run off from the Edgesphere groups, that eventually became a similar reality, after I started looking into Leto who pissed me off, that justified my vendetta against him. Inititally, Leto did something, and bragged about it, and that pissed me off, but I was pissed off at people who were hurting kids, while hanging out on 4chan. That was before I or anyone else knew that Leto was also hurting kids; when Leto pissed me off, and bragged about it, that's when the vendetta was born and I started looking into him, and found out (with others as well) "Oh, he's hurting children, he is a CSAM guy supplying fucked up people the means to create and obtain CSAM, and he's actually hurting kids right now.

Everything that is going on in his life right now, and the subsequent actions that followed, are a consequence of his own action, of deliberately throwing a rock at something he wasn't involved in, and bragged about.

Makes me wonder, if Leto didn't take a shot; there'd be a very good possibility that what he is involved and has been involved in, may have not been discovered, or not to the degree where it is currently at with extreme fever.

Thanks for helping me remember Argentina bro.

Me and my dad organised a wank festival. It went well. Guys were wanking left right and centre. Some were wanking others off, some were wanking to the guys who were wanking other guys off. We passed around a few cumrags and they got filthy pretty quickly. Then we started wanking on eachothers chests and I saw at least four double wankings where one guy was wanking off two other guys at the same time. The floor got really slippery so guys would just lay on the ground and get wanked on and several guys did buttplay too and we brought in a camera guy and he filmed us all wanking while line dancing. At least ninety something guys were there and in the excitement you couldn't tell if you wanked a guy off or not. All in all, a successful wankfest. I estimate five hundred wanks were wanked to competition. Anyway, I hope next year goes as well as this year

>>23930204
signal is over a decade old and the guy who supposedly developed it is some "left wing activist" glowie agent provocateur type who was heavily involved with riseup which is an organization that's entire mission is to provide activists with secure communications.

what is ths shit?

I watched one analysis of Epstein Files on YouTube and its author brought an interesting point that a ton of Jeff's actions looks like money laundering for the rich (one of big assets affiliated with him is reddit kek)
what are the odds of his Island being a red herring for financial machinations that cost hundreds of billions of dollars?

>>23930788
this is very true. its also funny that so many of them are simultaneously pro surrveilance and use shit like signal.
>>23930843
I think its somewhat unlikely that it'd be just a red herring. however i don't think his main thing was the sex trafficking shit, that was just something he did to allow him to blackmail politicians for mossad to keep them under jewish control.

>>23930843
Child trafficking is a big expensive business on the same level of drugs and weapons smuggling.
You better believe all three are handled by the same people.
Money laundering, gambling, predatory loans, rugpulls and financial manipulation are all rolled into that.
You do know Epstein was a part of the 2008 financial crisis and setup bear stearns (one of the oldest and most respected financial institutions) to be the fall guy while bailing out Goldman Sachs (one of the most corrupt and degenerate of the financial institutions)

He and the people surrounding him had serious pull to set policies in government.

I just want to let whoever did it know that I am very grateful. You have no idea of how much trouble he has caused me.

Now I'm not sure if he was connected to Antioch or not, or he was a bad actor from another group who was being paid off to do counterattack runs even after all the finger pointing. That much is unclear to me.

But he's been squashed. Let's hope it stays this way. For good.

all you can really do is try. everyone is over on /hap/ right now freaking out about the nothingburger of our time.
hundreds of famous people met with jeffery. everyone keeps saying "moot and jeffery is a big deal" but nobody can say why or what it means or even the details of their vague connection.
it's interesting i guess there's nothing really deeper about it, at least as far as i can see, and even if it did have meaning, moot hasn't been here for so many years that it's meaning has been lost not only through years of his absence but straight up years of neglect of this website.
jeffery talked with moot and had a few emails about him. that's all I'm seeing. theories about how he shadow ran every general and had every schizo on his payroll are just as insane as they were before any of this was revealed.

Antioch ran 'special operations' all the time, sometimes with the help of Calcutta and his dearest Patmos, but none of the people who carried them out were as reckless and noisy as this.

I would HIGHLY recommend keeping an eye on the sky in Tehran and Tel Aviv, because yeah, we're beyond tea leaves and palm readings here my man. We're at market shifts and mask slipping.

Any time something interesting happens when the upper crust gets shook and spun, something bigger happens on the global scale that resonates all of us. It's the only trickle down we have nowadays. We're about to watch high power retards do something extremely retarded.
The Halcyon days of our youth is going to experience a brutal rape, that may challenge the very structural foundation of what we consider a functional society.

And you're on the internet, chasing your tail in regards to things that are hilariously virtual and will not matter in the upcoming months of tribulations you will be subject to, if you survive initial insertion or choose to survive in said brutal coitus.

You speak like a child who has never known the leather of suffering outside of "my battery is low" or "my tweet wasn't liked"

I am scared because I do not like suffering, and I know the level of suffering that can arise from this path, I am scared because I know many others are not able to handle said suffering because they grew up in soft times.

As much as I dislike the clown logics of the soft times, does not mean I want the literal "Give me your food or I will kill you" times. The world that we are accelerating towards, is not a fantasy dream where one gets to be "The ebin cool outdoorsman+zombie hunter" It is war and post dysphoria, that either you will perish in, or wish to perish in. That is why I am afraid, and the birthing pains are happening, right now, as we speak, with the current failed negotiation in Tehran followed by the GPS blackout in Tehran, along with the minor explosions happening across different locations on the outskirts.

You genuinely have no idea how bad things truly are.

one thing they don't talk about much in all the apocalypse fiction is how pretty much 99% of the world population is already dead. chances are that if things really REALLY go south i won't ever have to worry about it, because I'll be dead. yeah yeah the survivors might have to forage for scraps in an irradiated wasteland or whatever but that's not my problem. I'm more than likely going to be part of the 99%, and so are you. a man uses a chainsaw to cut through a horde of zombies at the end of the world. you are not the man or the zombie. you are the pile of dust in the corner which was once human before the bombs went off.
why should i care about a time that might not ever come? a time that even if it comes i probably won't survive (for that long) anyways? hell if such a times comes I'll probably rope willingly, i don't want to waste away in a hellscape fighting to survive as my body and mind are placed through an endless nightmare.
but these are all just hypotheticals, thought experiments, creative writing exercises.
it's 8 AM and i know where my bread and circus are.

Oh my no. No no no.
I will be that monster that survivors in their bunkers warn another about, the thing that watches from afar and steals away people who venture too far from camp. The figure at the cave openings who starts a fire to smoke out those who plunged the world into chaos.

I will survive yes, but I will very much push the definition of what a human is. Don't worry, I won't be a nigger about it, I'm not a monster.

However, don't stray too far from camp, because philosophy and humanity is a luxury of a full stomach and meat is meat. Now if you're in a bunker, yes, I will be a nigger about it, because fuck you. You do not get to flip the table and then hide underneath the blankets from the monster. You will be cooked, you will be eaten, and you will answer for the countless dead.

Likewise with any post war fascist that attempts some sort of "New World Regime" I will hunt and cook you.

Don't confuse me as a human survivor, I will very much become a cryptid survivor, because that is what my instincts demand me to be.

In that, modern society, despite its flaws, is a blessing. A full stomach is a blessing because it allows me to understand philosophy, morality, humanity, and society. There are many distractions to keep me from considering things that do not make sense in this civil society.

Why would I want to this go away? Why would you want me to be worried about my next meal? Why would you offer yourself on a plate like this?

Everytime I talk to an end world fetishist, or an accelerationist, I chuckle and say "Wow, that sure is a lot of words, coming from a talking soup ingredient"

Society is a cage, that keeps the animals in and well behaved. Breaking the cage, will result in the wolf reverting to their natural instincts, because they were never tamed in the first place.

So again, let's really hope and pray that what I see on the wall isn't something that is going to pass, or if it does, it does so in a flash and we move on like it was a nothingburger. I really, don't want to have to get used to the taste of greasy pork for the rest of my years.

That's a subjective take with a subjective answer.

"Are you someone who is on the opposite side of a playing field or battlefield? Then yes; if you are not [like most people], then not directly at you."

Think of it like this, "Is a dog in a wolf pen ever truly tamed?" Take a standard house doge, teach him to run and hunt with wolves, and then put him into the wolf enclosure. Is the dog tame and personable? Or is it still a wolf? Depends on who is asking and how comfy the enclosure is.

>>23951593
One typically needs arms and fingers to use them, and a heart beat. And functioning eyes, without a sense of discombobulation.

Its not people with guns you should worry about in a broken world, it's remote fire starters discombobulators, and especially the fucker who has a microwave emitter that is hooked up to a generator.

Metaphors aren't your forte are they?
That's okay. Let me unpackage it for you.

The average civilian is like a house dog; war, law enforcement, anything to deal with the world's ugly nature/suffering is like the forest. The dog enters, and if survives, becomes changed. How it should work is that a dog tossed into the forest, stays in the forest. Especially those who ran with wolves, fought with wolves, and learned the ways of wolves. Some dogs stay on the outskirts of the woods, they can be brought back into homes.

However, the system isn't perfect, sometimes, dogs come back from the deep woods and hang out near houses and people. Is that a failure of the system? Perhaps, but can a dog be ultimately called a dog, if it knows the ways of a wolf? How comfortable would you truly be with it, if you were aware it was once a wolf? Likewise, could the dog ever be okay with a home?

In that, I think, we must treat our veterans better, because just because the station has ended, doesn't mean the mindset ever truly goes away. Luckily, nowadays, veterans are given nice enclosures, and jobs that remind them of the woods. Now imagine if that enclosure is taken away, where would they go and what would they do?

>>23951696
Hey now, just because someone has knowledge and means, doesn't make them dangerous; that's a mantra I've had to repeat many a time. What it comes down to is "Quality of Life"
If Quality of Life is never disturbed, one can consider an animal "tamed". Challenge that Quality of Life, through removal of enclosure, stress, or removal of what makes the enclosure works? Then you'll see something operating on instinct.

I like wolves, non metaphorically, feed them food, give them a place to nest and sleep, and they are relatively peaceful. Feed them less, or cause stress in their den? You'll find they are less friendly, and snarl at you.

This is true of any animal, Man included.

Here's a genuine question for the house dogs
"Outside of a funeral, how many of you have seen a dead body in real life?"
Raise your hands.
Now
"Of those hands, how many of you have seen a fresh body?"
Okay. "And of those hands, how many were fresh because you were the one who made it so?"
I don't expect to see a hand up, other than my own here.
>Are you confessing to kill someone?
Sure, but that was the job, and people call me a hero for doing so because they were "the bad guy" so were the children in the house adjacent, so were the women in the same room. Acceptable causalities, I'm told.

That blood never washes off, no matter how comfy the enclosure is, no matter how many times you are told "Thank you for your service" at the end of the day, the only reason you aren't in a jail cell is because "It was part of the job"

Dogs that play with wolves, are meant to stay in the forest, or in an enclosure that reminds them of said forest. Once a man has killed, for self or for country, they are not compatible with a civil society anymore, hence the enclosures, whether prison or semi apartheid/exile.

Break that enclosure, end that exile, remove the killer from prison, and what you'll see is the same thing that needed enclosing. An animal, a beast, a wolf. And most people don't know how to deal with that.

>Would you kill again?
No, it would fuck with my Quality of Life.
>Would you kill if your Quality of Life was completely removed?
Absolutely, there is no debate in that, the question is, why I would. If you try to take from me, I will. If you are part of why my Quality of Life was removed, of course. That is justified. You would do likewise, if someone would do similar to you, in a world where such a thing is the norm.

That's just the way of the Wastelands Vaultie, nothing personal, so don't make it.

No, I'm talking about real people. Actual people with futures, hopes, dreams, memories, fears. People who lived, and subsequently died that you got to stand witness to, either as observer or arbiter of.

Not Call of Duty, not Fortnite, not Minecraft, not Team Fortress 2. I am talking about the smell and taste of freshly deceased. The smell of burnt flesh, the final few guttural gasps as you see the light from someone's eyes disappear before you.

I'm talking about the red and brown mist that tastes of iron and sulfur, where someone you just had a conversation with about their kid.

You genuinely don't know how good you faggots have it, you really don't. You have no idea how fucking pampered you are that even me recalling these memories are a trigger and "oof owie my brain hurtie" to you is.

Imagine that as the norm, imagine that being your day to day life. Imagine having to live with that, every day, until you eventually lose a fight with someone else whose norm is that, or you find yourself face to face with something that cannot understand your suffering, because its belly is empty.

That is what I am afraid of, the ghost of war should remain a thing of fiction and luxury for those who have never seen it. To never let the children (and adult children) know the ugliness that exists beneath every Man, Woman and Child; because I have seen this, I have done this, and here I am saying
"Get between me and my meal, and I'll gobble you whole" and finding myself perfectly justified in that.

I can't fathom the monsters that other Men may be, and I've already seen what happens to men who lose their enclosures. They become monsters, who attack society, and society kills them.

I don't want that for anyone, I just want to stay in my enclosure, I want to keep my blanket, my several piles of pinecones, my squeaky ball, and my rope tug toy.

Know yes, practiced no. It isn't sacred knowledge of elites, or cultists, its just obvious if you remove the whole "Oh right, that's a human" aspect of it. Humans are meat, you process them as you would as any other meat. If you can look at a chicken, cow, fish, and say "Yeah, I know how to prepare this from execution to dinner table" then by transitive property, you can do the same for a human, because practicality wise? There's very little difference to the trade and the tool; after all, meat is meat.

The only reason it seems wrong, is because your belly is full, and we live in age where the Human Being has right to be viewed more than meat. And I agree with that vision, because this is what these times ask and call for; this mindset of "Humans are soup ingredients" is really only applicatable when the common courtesy of not being viewed of such is taken away by the acts of environment, because along with society falling so did your comfort of not being viewed as ingredient.

crown cortical snap it is then. Again, I'm not sure why you are asking specifically for that, I mean, I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to assume that is you saying "I, Soup Anon, don't have the mental strength to handle living in a post society world, I'd rather you kill me than having to deal with hardships" of which, I can understand that. There will be many people like you who think similarly. I will not be one of them, but I wouldn't mind assisting others who feel like you do.

Actually, I kind of believe we need to have that luxury to choose and ask that in the current comfy times, to ask for our suffering in the present and future to be taken away from us by someone we trust. I am a very big advocate for end of life assistance, and I believe it is crueler to force someone to stay alive and prolong their suffering, rather than just letting them die.

In that, I view your statement as that, in a post society world, while at the same time, saying "In exchange for this service, I will use your body for my own uses, of which, consumption is there."

If you'd ask me in the present, because you were suffering, I'm not a doctor who can sign off on it, and I don't like killing people anymore, even its a potential application of current employment. I try to stick to non lethal incapacitations. If you want to die in the current soft times, I think, maybe you should sit down and talk things out about that desire, understand it, and figure out how to either take control of such feeling, or give control to said feeling.

If you just want me to eat you, you are aware, I can do that without killing you right? Finger and toes are good enough ingredients. Blood consumption is considered kinky and normal even in soft times, and I don't mind consuming it, if you're clean.

Up to you Soup Anon.

I wouldn't mind giving you my toes and blood. A few fingers too.

If the world falls, I'll take you up on the offer of a digit if necessary. Even in the comfort of the modern times, I will take the offer of your blood, assuming you're free of blood born diseases.

You are also aware there are, like, other things of you I can put in my mouth and take is considered normal that doesn't require amputation, or blood right? Oral sex exists for a reason after all, but I'd have to get to know you better, and maybe be taken out on a few dates.

I will also accept saliva, tears, sweat, hair and nails; but I refuse urine, feces, vomit, earwax and boogers.

If you just want me to voraciously kiss you, and give you oral sex Soup Anon, that just requires getting to know me. No promises that I won't bite your neck and draw blood when gripping you and lapping up said blood.

Hopefully you can collect what you need soon.

Silly Soup Anon, I am not in need of anything; I have all I need at the moment in these comfy times. That is luxury. Anything I would request would be a want/desire. So if you offer yourself to me, and I receive it, it is not because it is needed, but rather because I want it, specifically, I want you, and choose to accept your gift as that want.

That is the luxury of modern comfy times; however I cannot say that in the present time, because outside of your willingness to throw yourself into my gullet, I know nothing about you, because we have not attempted bonding.

That is the nature of relationships in general, curiosity, contact, understanding, bargaining, trusting, wanting, and trade for mutual benefit.

I cannot say I want you in the moment, I know little to nothing about you, but if you offer yourself in the future, while comfort times remain, know if I accept your gifts and offers, it is not because I need them, I want them, because in that moment, I'd want you.

[headpat] silly boy.

if the new captcha is actually filtering clankers then i'll have to chalk it up as a "good job" for the dev working on it.

raw "posts per day" and other activity metrics mean less now than they ever did
when sites/platforms start chasing those, they're already fucked

/b/ is a very high-activity board, for example, but nobody cares about the board per se, so it's low retention, and very hostile to new users/growth
