One time in 2014 I stumbled into a Google hangout and Airmax and Whiteflame were plotting everything that happened on this site including making RM mod for a day on a new site 11 years from then and pulling it back just to be mean. I was afraid to confess but with the site going down they can’t hurt me now

Do NOT face Allah alone when Astral projecting
Today while astral projecting I summoned allah to try and weaken him so our hexing spells would work better.
He is so fucking powerful. I'm not at a power level to do this alone. I barely escaped with my life and I'm spiritually injured to a great amount, but I think I'll make it.
I can't imagine what he would do to a new, unsuspecting witch. I'm scared that I will have to face him again soon if I ever want to continue astral projecting. I'm currently burning healing incense and drawing spiritual energy from my crystals to try and heal as quickly as possible.
Please be safe everyone. Allah is much stronger than I first imagined and we will have to do this together if we want to slay a god.

In 2005 I watched March of the Penguins at the movie theater then had a sleep over at my friends house. The movie caused me to miss my mom,l and want to go home but I wanted to look cool and not let my friends see so I had to suck it up all night. Hope you feel real good about yourself asshole

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

When the boomers were in their 20s and 30s if they wanted to buy a house they typically werent competing with WWII generation people who could drop $600k cash from one of their retirement accounts.
I fell into the trap of being way too wordy again. All I mean is that for scarce resources (houses/land being #1 but anything you can think of) the amount of wealth in the country has gotten so vast that the prices of these things have decoupled from income and are instead coupled with wealth.
The nicest house on my street just sold. It’s almost twice the size of ours, looks cool, has a pool, backs up to a huge park with a massive playground. Would be really fun for kids to live there. I saw a few families with children looking at it but mostly people who were in their 60s. Guess who got it? And fair enough, it’s a very nice house and it’s a free market. But I would bet anything that when that house was built in the 80s it was bought by high income professionals probably in their 30s, the idea of a 65 year old WWII generation couple buying it with cash would be unthinkable. But today even high income professionals are competing with people who have so much wealth they can just straight up buy what they want. Stock returns have been so good that if they took advantage of investing in the 80s to now, which many did, even a common employee is extremely wealthy. I don’t know what to do about it but it is a little distortionary socially

@AdaptableRatman
I am actually Catholic, at least I go to mass every Sunday and believe in God. I’m also right wing but a woman screaming vitriol like “BUILD THE WALL DEPORT THEM ALL” would make me think she had some screws loose especially if we just met. A more subtle and less unhinged way to express that same thing is “I’m looking for a husband who can be a leader for our household” straight up saying “I want someone I can OBEY” in a dating app chat with someone you’re just having a first conversation with is 🚩

I think women who say stuff like that universally have some type of screw loose tbh. She was a hardcore anti vaxxer too and wanted to homeschool. Really pigeonholing your kids from day one

One of my friends was talking to an extremely evangelical girl on a dating app and she said she was looking for a husband she can “respect and obey.” stuck with me lol. She ended recognizing his degeneracy just from their conversations and they never met up

Also the social/dating life for boomers was much much better compared to the hellscape now. That matters a lot for people being happy

I forgot to add that I wanted to shameless bump this to the new page:
I’ve looked into the boomer vs millennial and younger debate at length and both sides totally past each other. I think everyone misunderstands the demographic and economic history of the situations.
Contrary to the memes, boomers weren’t all handed a 3,000 sq foot house on the coast as soon as they turned 22. To Savants point, homes back then were smaller, interests rates were higher, the expectations for “the good life” were a lot lower. For example, International vacations didn’t happen for almost anyone, like 1% of people even had a passport into the 80s. Boomer office culture was an absolute nightmare, often six days a week during busy times and two weeks PTO was the standard. Also for late silents/early boomers close to a double digit percentage of men were in the Vietnam war, often against their will. It wasn’t a utopia they came into at all
But they were much more in charge from the very beginning than subsequent generations were. If you compare the number of babies born from 1946-1964 with the US population in 1946, baby boomers ended up being 54% of the initial population from when they were born. Thats INSANE for any generation. For millennials that number is 29%. The tenor of society was set by them basically as soon as they came of age in a way people before or since didn’t experience
The problem is to a large extent the boomers themselves but not through fault of their own. When they were young, they didn’t have to compete for resources and status with an extremely large and almost unimaginably wealthy cohort. Not only were the youth a much much larger percentage of the total than they are now, the older generations at that time typically weren’t wealthy, they had social security payments which were lower than today and the lucky ones had small private pensions. Stock investing was something the middle class just didn’t have access to, and there hadn’t really been the real estate bubbles we see now. They were much more in charge economically and demographically, things catered to them. When the boomers were in their 20s and 30s if they wanted to buy a house they typically werent competing with WWII generation people who could drop $600k cash from one of their retirement accounts. Such a thing would be unthinkable. But it’s something current youth do have to face. With the demographic pyramid inverting further it’ll probably get worse
Created:
The coming “great wealth transfer” is something that interests me. I know people who never really succeeded in life and work pretty low end jobs despite their parents being upper middle class. I get why their parents don’t want to just reward their poor choices/work ethic with money but I doubt they’ll choose not to leave their estate to their kids. It’s weird to imagine decades in the workforce without much savings, low earnings, no house etc then inheriting a nice suburban home and like $800k in a 401k at age 50
And of course for younger people who are already doing well, if their parents are well off, they’re going to be insanely wealthy by middle age

Sure! Here’s a clean, friendly rap battle between Mikal (laid-back mod) and RationalMadman (strict anti-bullying mod) debating the future of moderation on a small debating site.
🎤 Mikal (laid-back mod)
Yo, RM, I see you comin' in strong,
But this debate site’s been chillin’ all along.
We freestyle thoughts, let the people vibe,
Don’t need a rulebook just to feel alive.
Sure, there’s heat, but it sharpens the blade,
Censorship? Nah, let the points get made.
We're a forum, not a courtroom with bars,
Let 'em clash ideas, let 'em shoot for the stars.
Respect's a must, I won't deny that,
But over-policing? I just can’t back that.
Keep the tone civil, keep the minds free,
That's the mod code—at least it is for me.
🎤 RationalMadman (strict anti-bullying mod)
I get your stance, Mikal, you’re all about the flow,
But too much slack, and the hate starts to grow.
Debate’s not war, it’s not open season,
We need clear rules and a little reason.
I’ve seen new users walk out the door,
Flamed in a thread, they ain't comin' no more.
You say let 'em clash? I say guide the fight,
'Cause freedom means not fearin’ every night.
I'm not killin’ fun, I’m protectin’ the space,
So the next big mind don’t get chased from the place.
You want the forum raw—I want it refined,
We both want growth, just a diff’rent design.
🎤 Mikal (Rebuttal)
I feel that, RM, I do, no doubt,
But we can teach respect without shoutin’ folks out.
Sometimes the best lessons come through the fray,
Censor too much and the ideas fade away.
We need thick skin, not a padded cell,
Where people tiptoe 'cause they’re scared to yell.
Moderation, yeah—but with a light touch,
Too much grip, and it’s losin’ its clutch.
🎤 RationalMadman (Rebuttal)
And I hear you too, bro, I get the appeal,
But without a strong spine, the bad stuff’s real.
We’re not killin’ the art—we’re curatin’ the show,
So the next gen of minds feel safe to grow.
Let's find the line between chaos and calm,
Where fierce minds meet without dropping bombs.
It ain’t about power or who's more right,
It's buildin' a space where all can write.
Let me know if you want a version with a beat rhythm layout or a third-party "host" to wrap it up!

@Sir.Lancelot
I actually ran all of my debates from DDO that I could find on webarchive that weren’t forfeits on Claude a few months ago just to see what it would say. It said that I’m good at weaving together disparate points into a coherent, almost inevitable sounding narrative but prone to exaggerating things and also to getting pigeonholed into arguing things I think matter a lot but don’t play to a general audience which I agree with.
It also agreed that I was being dishonest in my drug legalization debate with Danielle which she accused me of at the time (if you ever see this Danielle sorry lol.)

Season 1 was basically perfect. Season 2 was saved by the concept being so incredibly good, there was a lot of unnecessary fluff which isn’t acceptable in a show where you’re getting ten episodes after three entire years
