Nags quick start reading list for the #secular #Occultist

I'm Nagaram and I'm an #atheist Occultist. I believe there is power in all sorts of magic, but its more practical than super natural.

Magic, gods, and the occult is a good psychological tool to help us navigate life both in a material […]

Anyone have recommendations for #french language classes? I'm usually on #udemy

But any sort of self passed online #class would be nice to learn a #language

If not French, then #Latin

I was recommended Wheelock's Latin and found a few courses that follow it on Udemy

I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.

[Firearms from a leftist persepective]

You should buy a gun and train with it.

I'm no longer convinced this will lull over without mass violence.

You should make friends with your neighbors and friends and train with them

You should stock on bullets

The best time was 10 years ago, the […]

I found this French water colorist and blogger who makes beautiful art that my fiance and I adore.

I wanted to buy a print just because I'd worry about an original making it state side, but she doesn't ship to the US.

Good for her. Fuck the US!

Man, anybody else ready Hillbilly Elegy when it came out? It's been astonishing and depressing to watch Vance since then. Like, I don't expect a beautiful writer to share my views on everything, but to have it finally end up in avowing that a murdered man was an "assassin" is bizarre to me.

Found a posting on indeed for a CTO with the only qualification required was

"Being a leader, being knowledgeable, GED preferred."

I'm 99% its a bit, but I applied. I'd love to go from IT Engineer to CTO

Do you know what email invited you? "No"

Simple act of resistance today that has me completely frazzled.

[Bible and homosexuality, SA mention]

I really liked Dan McClellan's explanation for what the old testament condemns specifically about homosexuality.

According to him, the ancient Israelites had no concept of sexuality like we do. Anything other than a heterosexuality was just not something […]

I think we need to start talking about masks differently.

Masks in cultures where collectivism is a normal feature are worn as needed. If you're sick you stay home, if you cant stay home you wear a mask when in public.

That's how they work. Masking as a healthy person doesn't really do […]

Honestly, shocked there are new young beats owners around.

As someone actively wearing ear buds I bought without thinking about it, I'm not judging being sold something that's objectively not a good bang/buck

But Jesus Christ they cost $200 minimum! Mine cost $30!

Here I am arguing that Richard Dawkins both sucks and is the quintessential disenchanted man.

He lives in a world far outside of his own mind to the point of viewing emotions as worthless instead of simply irrational.

I argue feelings are worth everything […]
