Peer review is shit because people basically treat it as divine revelation now

2019-02-01 01:51:57 UTC  

Anything that relies on "The majority says it's true" as it's deciding factor, always ends up being retarded. Especially when "The majority says it's true" becomes the standard enforced by the state.

when is it all gonna crash down i wonder

2019-02-01 07:27:56 UTC  

How the fuck can people still call any criticism of Jews "antisemitism" when they are constantly pulling nonsense like that?

2019-02-01 07:28:57 UTC  

protect the minorities

2019-02-01 07:28:58 UTC  

at all costs

2019-02-01 07:34:25 UTC  

Because they are tools of the jews

2019-02-01 07:34:55 UTC  

It was antisemitic when one jew made a headline literally talking about goyim

2019-02-01 14:04:09 UTC  

Well, at least they're banning Muslim schools, too.

2019-02-01 15:23:02 UTC  

Honestly, Hitler was right in this reguard. You can call the Jew anything, and it doesn't bother them in the slightest, but call them a "Jew" and watch how much it bothers them.

2019-02-01 15:25:05 UTC  

I remarked to a buddy of mine recently about that
Naming is very powerful. Name the jew. Name the uniate. Name the sodomite. They all recoil

2019-02-01 15:26:10 UTC  

It also works especially well for whores.

2019-02-01 15:27:05 UTC  

Just call a some feminist dyke a whore, and watch how much it bothers them.

2019-02-01 15:27:50 UTC  

This is why we should never use the word "homosexual", but instead use sodomite instead.

2019-02-01 15:28:14 UTC  

Indeed

2019-02-01 15:28:28 UTC  

Ever read The Name of the Wind, or the Inheritance cycle?

2019-02-01 15:28:29 UTC  

Name the two real owners of the USA and you can watch boomers recoil in fear

2019-02-01 15:29:19 UTC  

Israel is one but what is the other

2019-02-01 15:29:28 UTC  

Lucifer?

2019-02-01 15:29:47 UTC  

Jews and gays probably

2019-02-01 15:30:15 UTC  

@Byzas Also no, I've never read those

2019-02-01 15:30:39 UTC  

Their magic systems involve naming

2019-02-01 15:30:59 UTC  

When you know the True Name of something, you have mastery over it

2019-02-01 15:31:20 UTC  

Usually it means controlling the elements but people have true names too

2019-02-01 15:31:36 UTC  

And when a character says someone's true name out loud they usually recoil

2019-02-01 15:31:51 UTC  

But the difference is, in the books, you can control someone with their Name

2019-02-01 15:31:59 UTC  

Whereas IRL they just get unhinged

2019-02-01 15:32:07 UTC  

Sounds briddy good

2019-02-01 15:32:37 UTC  

@Byzas Israel and Saudia

2019-02-01 15:32:38 UTC  

My demonology isn't up to snuff, but I'm pretty sure one of the ways exorcists disempower the demonic is to use their name.

2019-02-01 15:33:29 UTC  

Normal people using their names empowers them, but an authority of God using it does the opposite.

2019-02-01 15:35:15 UTC  

Inheritance cycle gets a lot of shit for using a lot of fantasy tropes but I enjoyed it back in.the day

2019-02-01 15:35:37 UTC  

I'll have to look into that

2019-02-01 15:36:43 UTC  

The elves actually speak a very Nordic sounding language instead of the usual magical fairy shit

2019-02-01 15:41:09 UTC  

Huh

2019-02-01 16:03:41 UTC  

The language is fine. It's the urgals I can't stand.

2019-02-01 16:05:31 UTC  

At first, the urgals are made out to look like Tolkien's orcs. Fine. And there's a lot to prove that: they slaughter innocent people, and they're pretty much the only ones who side with the main villain. And then, starting in the second book, it's slowly revealed that they're actually misunderstood, and that they can be good guys, too, without changing that much of their culture.

2019-02-01 16:08:11 UTC  

Also, there's this mountain that some of the badguys worship in a twisted way; but you can see that it's a mockery of Christianity, Catholicism/Orthodoxy in particular. The mountain is three topped, and there's a constant debate as to whether there's one god or three. There's also a fourth spire, lower than the others, and it's debated whether it should be worshiped at all. But the main ceremony proves it: all the worshipers drink the blood of the high priest. Sound familiar?

2019-02-01 16:08:44 UTC  

Sure, I enjoyed the first couple books. But from then on, things just got weirder and weirder, and I couldn't follow, and didn't really want to, either.
