Oh damn. Rest in peace Randi. I was a huge fan of his ever since I read his book "Flim Flam". His sarcasm and willingness to make fun of people who faked being psychics or other weird people was amazing to read. I know he was around for a while and I hope he's at peace now. This is sad new...

It is no secret that I have had a contentious relationship with this board, and a lot of the people on it. I have legitimate grievances. But I have come to the conclusion that to continue those arguments is petty, privileged, selfish, and narcissistic, particularly in light of what is happening tod...

This man is being pretty shitty if you ask me. He is PRETENDING to care about trees in the Amazon (which is important mind you) but he has less concern for the human beings in his country's prisons. As far as I can tell there is little talk of reforming the prison system, which is abysmal. Most of t...

Dying at 79 is pretty good by some standards. Though dying from cancer isn't something I'd wish on anyone. It can be a really bad experience, depending on what "treatments" they put you through. Oh he funded the Right Wing Movement...oh I see. I wonder what he thinks of his money now. If h...

Economic cleansing. And also indirect ethnic cleansing, since the the poor are disproportionately racial minorities. It's a bunch of things. Its a human rights disaster. It's a health crisis. It's that AND a war on the poor and disadvantaged. All the people making money off of INSULIN should be bey...

Moved to appropriate Forum. Thanks. I should update the post to reflect the move. One time, while playing Charades, I got Aleister Crowley: The Theory and Practice of Magick in one. The girls' team just stared at us for a few seconds, until one actually said, "Who the fuck are you?" I'd w...

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I found an interesting anime. Yeah. It's a bit of Japanese animation, but what intrigues me isn't that. It's the plot. Oh and the fact that I'm in it. Or I should say a character with my name is in it. I want to do an in depth discussion on this, but ...

ARE YOU THREATENING ME!? The correct question is "AM I BEING DETAINED?" No joke, I've seen this tried by many people on Youtube videos. They'll also try to claim that they're "traveling" and not "driving". It's a semantic debate because supposedly the right to travel i...

Is it gonna be like Children of Men? I hope so...cause that's one of my favorite movies. It's very interesting to see how the movie shows people acting. No more babies are born and people lose all their hope. Even though it's so bad...there is still something interesting about a world like that. Ma...

It’s funny how much of our media now seems to play on this. Star Wars is obviously another one, given how many reacted to TFA as being a rehash of ANH for a new generation. Yet, I can’t not enjoy the re-emergence of synthwave, or the ‘80s æsthetic in film, or 8-bit mobile games. Stuff like that can...

Nostalgia is a good and a bad thing. It reinforces a "things were better in the past" mentality. Sometimes that is a good thing because it allows you to have a good time to look back on and a way to improve one's current time. However, it becomes bad when it encourages stagnation. There is...

It's Saudi Arabia. After the first 500 decapitations it's kinda hard to remember who's losing their heads. Why isn't the American government demanding answers from the Saudis? This is exactly what the terrorists do. If they're the allies of America then surely they should have to answer for their a...

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I'm hardly a fan of political figures, but I have to make an exception in this case. Barbara Bush was possibly the daughter of the person who I took the name and personality of, Aleister Crowley. It's a shame to hear that she died, but life ends for e...

If To Aru Majutsu no Index is on Netflix, give it a watch. Yours truely is in it. Beyond that the plot is pretty good. It's got both funny and serious moments and it's never dull or boring. Normally I don't watch anime, but I do make exceptions for things like this. Others I can recommend are East o...

If you're looking for interesting African cultures, look at the peoples of the Congo, the Yoruba, and the Ethiopians and Eritreans. Egypt is an overfocused one, but it has underrated dynasties that are very worth a historians interest. I would also look at the linguistic aspects of the aformentioned...

The broom is used to clean up the curling rink(?!) to improve traction for the stones being slid across it. Kinda like shuffleboard except played with heavy-ass stones on the ice. Sometimes I feel like the word insanity really doesn't apply to individuals, but whole groups of people. Who in their r...

Sounds like an interesting movie, even if it's 90% propaganda. I've seen polarizing figures get both good and bad movie adaptations. Even yours truly got a bad movie depiction. So it pretty much boils down to the director, screenwriter, cast, and studio. A good movie should succeed in showing a pers...

There's a saying "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary proof(or evidence)" now while technically valid it's not 100% complete what that saying means is that extraordinary claims (like "one of the most famous murderers in recent US history was a fake") demand evidence that's...

You're doing an incredible disservice to your namesake, Aleister. Old Uncle Al would give you one fuck of a whuppin' and tell you to go learn how to actually be skeptical without swallowing lines of absolute horseshit. He didn't pull a single punch usually. I didn't say I believed 100% in what the ...

To start off, I don't 100% endorse what I'm about to say. I just think it has a slight ring of truth. I'm far from a conspiracy theorist. Even if you yourself don't realize it, you absolutely are a conspiracy theorist. Your post has all of the normal red flags. You vaguely allude to "irregular...

If Manson didn't who did? Tex Watson has admitted his guilt numerous times, as have the other women In the Kevin Cooper case there's reason to believe Cooper was framed since evidence was checked out off the books and the shirt that had Cooper's blood was a.) a shirt he'd have no access to and b.) ...

Charles Manson was a fascinating person, even if you take into account what he is said to have done. I find it really weird. What I find even weirder is how for such a clear cut case of murder, it was not treated as such. In the trial, it was for the most part dominated by the prosecution. This is n...

The only anime I've ever cared about was Some Kind of Magical Index. It has a certain charm to it. Also, there's an appearance by Yours Truely. I think they messed some things up, but overall a neat watch. Nothing too hardcore though.

He killed himself for reasons I can't understand. It's really sad when someone does that, but especially someone with potential and intelligence. Um, I believe L. Ron Hubbard may have had something to do with it? Yes, L. Ron Hubbard ran off with Jack's girlfriend on his boat. Dick move. I am not to...
