At first it can be horrifying; but it's not all terrible...

You're a little late to the game. Some of us have been studying this kind of shit for years, decades even. Life goes on. But if you just absorb media and entertainment and that is the basis of your day to day reason for living you are going to have a hard time. Find a solid foundation. There's a whole other world out there.

That picture was a fake, fact checking showed it as a cake.

Still disturbing, but it was a cake, look at size of items next to it.

inb4 "the cake is a lie"

The cake is ALWAYS a lie.

Support buttercream icing! Stand up to the fondant hegemony!

Down with buttercream up with cream cheese frosting!

Yeah that's pretty good, but doesn't travel well in the summer.

True :(, I forgot, I only bake cake for others, I prefer crisp cookies to dip in coffee for myself.

There have been dahmer pictures here... Is pickling a form of cooking?

I'll tell you what I tell my kids. If you are looking at some kind of media and it elicits an emotional response then understand that most of the time someone has designed that response out of you. The trick is to discern if it was by design or not. But everything on TV is certainly designed.

Curious, is it wise to have your kids be as informed as much as possible? Does this have any positive or negative outcomes?

inform your children or the future is a wash.

"Information" doesn't always lead to wisdom. Probably usually the opposite, since information could be fluff, disinfo, propaganda, anything.

I do try to shield them from cable news and try to foster a disdain for commercials and TV in general. I just want them to have the tools to tell if someone is messing with their minds.

But I also don't go down the rabbit holes with them that have leaked out or otherwise gets brought up here. Tools first.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

And wisdom to know the difference.

Replace "God" with whatever you want, but yeah, it helps and are wise words to live by. If you want to know, I say Creator (non religious).

cześć putie

i voted today

Sup.

I'm not voting. Also (about your PM), yes I am, thanks for your concern Chicky :)

TY since i was so concerned for not answering for two days i hardly noticed ;0

You're welcome. I've been very busy lately (deadlines and other various shit). You voted your conscious, tis' honorable. I just don't give a shit. I diametrically oppose government, and participating in a rotten system. George Carlin sums it up, the best: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2e/fd/f3/2efdf33657027286b4775644d1c7d6d9.jpg

carlin was so far ahead of his time ...what would he say to the recent reveals [hell i remember the franklin scandals so no big surprises ]

but the fact that they revealed means the rest of the world is done with this behavour of ours at large

More like you're finally catching up with how the rest of the world sees your behaviour.

we have done alot of damage and i for one have been aware for quite some time.... the vietnamese people never blamed the american people because we got out and protested they knew it wasnt us but our government out of control at that time... i am not certain the american people made the same commitment to get out of starbucks and protest.... just saying

i figured you werent ... most folks around here i bet actually dont bother on the day.... my boss was shrill that i was betraying hill

i hope trump puts her away tonight decisively so they cant cheat

Yeah, I'd rather see what he'd do rather than that cunt, doesn't mean I'd vote though. We shall see, should be an interesting night (and next few days). I brought out the good cider for tonight. I may regret that in the AM, lmao...

dont worry about tomorrow putes live for tonite thats what we got the moment at hand [always all we got is the moment]

skoll

With my two hands, I will make this world a better place. Will you join me? Gotta prop people up, hold doors and save babies from pedos.

It is very overwhelming and depressing...but we have to all know the truth or nothing will ever change.

Now that you know(barely) whats really going on, you can turn your focus towards the things that truly makes you happy. Family/Love/Friendships/Crafts/Art

I've had trouble sleeping since last Friday when i started digging around.

Its disturbing but at the same time fascinating how some people seem to have found ways to dominate this planet a long time ago and this is just part of their work playing out.

much of it is not what it seems, take it with a large dose of salt. You did not see a cooked human just for instance. However, reality does have a dark side.

Dahmer pics... I saw people parts aging in a freezer and other shit. Close enough.

he is referring to a recent post. Obviously people die and you can see dead people images. Go look at vietnam war photos and you'll see plenty of baked bodies.

yeah, i know, referring to eating of the naked people laying covered in molasses. Thats how you get diseases.

I feel more prepared to live in this world when I know the truth about it. It's not pretty out here and we need to face those facts if we want to make it better.

i actually feel better knowing that other people are hanging here tooo and sometimes ignorance is bliss but knowledge is power

I hear ya. I have see some pretty messed up stuff. Not only in this sub, but everywhere. That roasted man pic was high on the list of messed up things I've seen...but I've seen much worst tbh.
Faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my endurance.

weird question but i've never seen a cooked man. where does one need to go to see a pic of a cooked man

I've seen a pic of a cooked man here, and man do I feel fucking terrified after looking at that pic.

Wait, that was real? I just assumed that picture was fake.

don't let the hype get to you. you have to take it with "a grain of salt". there is a lot (or some truth) in all this crap.
