I mean it was only for white people for a start

They really want to fight capitalism with “woke” capitalism don’t they. Where’s Freddy to smack some sense into them

Do you remember how much of the Soviet archives project we had left to translate on the GOSPLAN section?

I’m gonna ban you for impersonation

Oh yeah if you got a knife or a sharp rock you can just scrape off plastic shavings off the lighter to get the small tinder pile set up along with grinding the flint a bit for some of that sweet sparky sparky dust to give it that extra oomph

Lots of good dry cushy socks too!

I’d also suggest learning camping up to like Luke Nichols on his YouTube channel “Outdoor Boys”. It’s a bit extreme, but at least knowing how to not be completely miserable out in the middle of nowhere is always a nice trick in the bag to have. If nothing else, learning how to start a fire with an empty Bic lighter can be a cool trick to show off to your friends.

I survived and that’s a fairly low bar concidering I’m me.

I would play Arma 3 just for a taste of the old bullshit I used to do when I get a yearning for a hit of nostalgia, but nothing beats really experiencing getting abso-fucking-lutely getting lost in the middle of a huge fuck-off forest in the middle of winter somewhere in the middle of Alaska for 18 is hours a day for several days in a row. Or whatever your local equivalent would be lol

Waddya mean cheaper? It’s literally free? Who da heck pays to just go walkin around here!

What Aceivan said. Personally I enjoy plain old fashioned land navigation with a pencil, compass and a pocketful of rocks.

Learning both digital and non-digital land navigation can be a critical skill ranging from your phone’s dead and all you got is a handful of descriptions of where you need to go to in a part of town you know nothing about, to being stranded in the middle of literal nowhere and all you got is the sky and the land to orientate yourself. Even learning the most basic thing like watching the direction the moon or sun is moving and at what relative angle they are to setting or rising to help figure out your mental compass can be life-saving is emergency events.

Also when my friend showed me geocaching I was extremely surprised at the creativeness of the dead drop props used in urban environments to help them blend in. Like who the fuck would look for a secret message hidden in a fake electrical access panel on a random highway lightpole? Strap on a reflective yellow vest and a hard hat and nobody would ever question you looking for all the random shit around town while you geocache!

An old school communist comrade of mine swears by geocaching

Oh hey, ban evasion!

Honestly good question, I know it’s hard for streamers to break in in general, so I can only imagine it may be even harder since it’s a smaller niche space of people that watch vtubers that’s already really taken up by the big corpo headliners of that market and the smaller already networked independent streamer cooperative.

Here is the true story of the Dark Father, Caine as was told to me by God herself in my slumber last night before awaking me with an earthquake to spread the truth.

Here, God (depicted as female), the elohim (angels), and the world they created are all already in existence together as the narrative begins.

Man (Adam) and Woman (presumably Eve in this context) are created by God and the angels as a gift for one another.

God orders the angels to betray Her, forcing choice upon them for the first time. Lucifer, through the act of ultimate loyalty, leads the subsequent rebellion against Heaven.

Four angels (Ahrimal, Belial, Lailah and Usiel) gather, and the Light (Lucifer) appears before them. Following the Great Debate that ensues, Ahrimal and Belial join with Lucifer, while Lailah and Usiel remain loyal to God.

Lucifer demands that Man, Woman, and their two sons choose sides. Adam, Eve, and Caine choose to side with Lucifer, while Abel remains loyal to God.

The Fall, both of Man and of Lucifer’s rebellious angels. The Age of Wrath begins.

At the start of the Age of Wrath, two-thirds of angels and one-quarter of humanity remain loyal to God; the rest are with Lucifer. The reference to humanity at large implies that the human race has already begun to multiply beyond just Adam, Eve, Caine and Abel.

Strife from the War creates discord among humanity and in Creation as a whole for the first time.

All of humanity suffers in this new world. Those loyal to Lucifer suffer all the more for knowing that they have left God’s grace, while those who remain loyal are comfortably ignorant of their own suffering. By now, humanity has grown to the extent that there are tribes of both loyal and rebellious mortals.

Caine gave a gift to himself: the gift of delusion. A gift who’s geis can only be broken by the caster himself.

Caine through what he believed was the act of ultimate love makes a gift to God; the gift is the sacrifice of his brother Abel, and the act of sacrifice is the first murder. The truth was that he hated his brother but deluded himself to believe otherwise through his geis.

God rejects Caine’s gift, and in turn, he rejects Her. As Caine speaks against Her, both humans and angels listen. Through him, they learn of deception and murder.

Having learned deception from Caine, rebel angels demand that humans pay homage to them instead of God. They call themselves gods, and earn the epithet of demons.

The angels-turned-demons usurp the Divine Lores of the loyal angels by devouring them.

God sends his angels to forgive Caine, but Caine rebuffs the offer. His rejection of God’s messengers bars Caine from the sun’s light, from peace, and from death.

God’s angels rout the demons, slaughtering an equal number of the Fallen and punishing their human followers in turn.

God creates new forces of fire, wind, and the wild to seek out and eradicate the demons.

The demons, having been defeated, create a haven for those human souls that had been forcibly disembodied by the Fallen; this refuge will come to be known as the Shadowlands, or Hell as we colloquially know today.

The demons in their defeat are cursed by God, and the Abyss is created as their prison for all eternity.

The angels leave the human world, and one-fourth of the host have Fallen and been imprisoned; humanity begins to forget their false gods. The numbers of those trapped in the Abyss are four times higher than the previous numbers would suggest, as four loyal angels were also bound in the Abyss.

As millenia pass, humans eventually rediscover and choose to invoke the names and powers of the angels and demons.

Caine, the nomad cursed with eternal undeath, wandered the lands restlessly. On his endless journey he would find humans from whom he would see in them a reflection of himself. Upon each of those he saw himself he in his unending delusion offered to them his curse as a gift and accepted those who drank his cursed blood as his children as they could no longer walk in God’s light of Day.

Caine, eventually seeing the angels and demons gone during his nomadic wandering, sets himself up as a king with his cursed children of thirteen at his side.

Some humans, upon death, choose not to go on to the unknown afterlife but instead linger in the Shadowlands, trapped in what had been initially made to be a refuge.

The souls in the Shadowlands are influenced by Oblivion, which God had given as a final respite to the Fallen; this influence splits the soul into two parts, the Psyche and Shadow. The disembodied Ego and the Id of the dead.

Caine, king of the Cainites, summons wraiths from the Shadowlands. Others come to learn how to summon up those from the Shadowlands and, in time, from the Abyss.

The first five Earthbound demons, the Archdukes, are summoned from the Pit unto the Earth. Caine raises up his great city; when his children go to war, he curses them. Gaia creates the Garou in response to these threats, but the children of Luna suffer without the sister of Solaris they slew in the War of Rage. Mankind goes to war with itself, unprecedented in cruel barbarity to their fellow man…

In the war, man discovered how invoke the debasement of life and death through necromatic rituals, the children of Caine’s hunger for war with the rest of mankind turned to self-consuming rage, and the corruption of the highest arts of Man born from the mixing of angels blood with their own into infernalism, all of these acts would prompt God to inundate the Earth with the Great Deluge of Water.

The various surviving peoples scattered across the Earth recover: first the Jews under Noah’s guidance, then the aboriginal Australians, then the Native Americans, then the Asians of the Middle Kingdom, and finally the Africans. Nearly all of the knowledge of antediluvian humanity has been lost as God in her infinite wisdom cleansed the earth with sacred water.

The Kingdom of Caine was cleansed from the world. Caine, self-proclaimed king, himself vanished from the face of the earth as the flood came crashing down but in the whispers of the trees and the mountains it is said that he still wanders the earth, slowly coming to the realization of his follies.

The Children of Caine, those who drank of his blood in acceptance of his cursed covenant, they who burn in the sun’s light, are barred from peace from without and within, and from gift of death, hide within the darkness masquerading themselves as though they are still our fellow man but feast upon our hearts blood.

Lo and hear the true story of Caine!

Also had to copy-paste my own answer so I don’t feel like I wasted my time trying to dunk on someone that got banned by another instance’s admin team.

I spent my entire breakfast time formatting this just to try and call them a fucking heretic if they questioned my story as the literal word of God telling me so.
