How the shit is this an "automated request; post discarded"? Fix your shit, I'm sick of all these offbrand social medias being half-broke and vibe-coded by brown hands. Don't you spergs have any pride in your programming, in your chosen profession, in your artcraft? Do better.

What’s the deal with all the alien talk on the news lately? Are extraterrestrials real? Are they from another planet or maybe another dimension? Are they the same entities as the DMT Elves?

Esotericism, occultism, supernatural, secret societies… These are all from the enemy, satan. He is real and he is after your soul.
It is not too late to repent and give your life to Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
May God bless you all abundantly.
Amen.

I might be going insane, but there's something that speaks to me about our connection with humanity, the internet, and God…I don't know what it is yet, but the idea of using technology to transcend into a higher being appeals to me. And I guess for me that looks like living life the way it is and being calm and reassured that everything will be fine, accepting we're in a very technological and online world, and that we're losing our touch with reality. We also accept the end and the tragedies that happen from technology. (Although i'm aware this is already kind of a concept found in stoicism and asceticism probably trans-humanism).

This all probably sounds generic but I think it speaks for myself when I realize that i'm going to be stuck online for a long time, like many other people in the wired world of the web.

dinosaurs are either fake, or real and died off like 1500 years ago or something. earth probably is like pic related:

this is epic…

The written word has long been my favorite medium for storytelling specifically because of how interpretive it is. When reading I can change the style I use to visualize things and it can completely change the experience of a book. Once you see an adaptation of a book that is lost, or at least heavily damaged. Having literally scene what the characters look like and how scenes play out I find myself having to actively avoid falling back on the movie or comic or whatever for my visualization, even when they go expressly against the text. For example, here's a bunch of artwork for The Hobbit that predates any movie adaption. There were so many interpretations of things like Gollum before the movies, and now there's only one. The recent Gollum game has (among many far more valid criticisms) been widely criticized for changing Gollum's face from what the movie went with. Only the face, the rest is just a slight variation of the movie design. In addition, the nature of writing leads it to being the most detailed medium of storytelling by far. You can look into peoples heads without breaking the flow, showing an inner monologue in a movie would be criticized for telling not showing; you can explain action with all the wonderful flavor of English connotation; the difference between lumbering or striding or marching to describe somebody walking for example (this is also a very interpretive part of writing, as connotation is naturally subjective); you can go into absurd world building detail, as seen with The Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings appendices. All of these aspects are lost when you turn a book into a movie. This isn't to disparage other mediums for storytelling, only to enumerate some of the strengths of writing and explain why it is my favorite. Some of these strengths are even shared with other forms, but never all. For this reason I am pretty against adapting books, and adaptations in general. I feel like stories should be left in their original medium, you can make connected stories across mediums, but again you should perhaps not; a movie can be a squeal to a book, but again the visualization aspect will be hurt by showing exactly how the characters look. I want to hear more thoughts and perspectives about adaptions, though I don't want this to devolve into arguing about how faithful adaptions should be and which adaptions are best; I've had that conversation plenty of times.
