They don't deal with that bullshit anymore.
I'm fucking proud of the Russian people.
.
In Germany, women were raped in the hundreds. In Russia, a few muds start shit, and they wake up in the hospital the next day.
@Alex Turner Sup. Have you been here before?
no just got invited
Willkommen.
(I think that's how you spell it)
@Fireball Bastard Wilkommen, but close enough.
Well, I can say "hello" in a few languages well enough.
Niggers can't even greet someone in their own language, much less another's. 😛

I was vetted in the last one
Knowing Netflix, they'll probably ruin it.
ugh I wish they would do the witcher justic

I love the game and the movie was trash.
Yeah, they have that, but only they approach the D&D style game of "professional monster killer" from a realistic perspective. Nations go to war, and in those wars, people kill each other for gain, rape each other, torture each other, and end up fucking with conventional morality.
not related to anything but i was listening to a jordan peterson exerpt in which he talked about psychedelics. he said that DMT in multiple studies has caused the user to feel a symbolic or literal death, and then after such things, they would ascend to the realm of the gods, then come back. very interesting that the same chemical released in the moments of being *in extremis* - at the very point of death - cause a similar effect to feelings of dying and then ultimate euphoria, recieving knowledge from "other beings". also interesting to note how many cases of NDEs report seeing "a light", like walking through a tunnel towards a bright light. you'd think such cases would be more random
the question is, is this a kind of evolutionary mechanism or just a side effect of consciousness? the chemical receptors are there, no doubt about it. but why?
Couldn't say. I've heard that your life flashes, for instance, to ease the process of dying, but I don't know why we'd evolve to be that sort of way. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for a species to fight to stay alive, rather than accepting death?
yes, and that's what your brain does when you're dying. it's attempting to stay alive somehow, so perhaps the release of DMT is its distress beacon
easing the process of dying, yeah
I think animals have a tendency to know when their time comes. For example, when dogs know when they're going to die, they're going to leave their home and just go to a place alone to rest in piece and then die peacefully. That's probably something similar to where humans might know when they're going to die, it just happens a bit faster than we know or something like that.
Or like how elephants go to their "graveyards" when they pass.
Yeah
It's probably the coping mechanism in all mammals that occurs
But it happens with humans in an instant: life flashing before your eyes, dead.
My time comes... "goddamn, that's a big pile".
Heh.
Bahaha
animals have a lot of instincts, some predicated on biology, interestingly enough
er, chemistry

I want that to be my burial ritual. Just lay my corpse onto a boat, tie up a dozen live jews on it, and set the whole thing on fire. It'll be my toll to cross over to Valhalla.
like how you can tell the temperature by a cricket's stridulation. not really an instinct per se, but fucking cool. a better example would be how carrier pidgeons are affected by the magnetic forces around earth
