Posting here and there on this forum is fine but going full multi-account is like MPD. Maybe sanity is slipping further (like I'm one to gauge sanity).

I think you drastically overestimate the number of actual users you've been interacting with.

How many accounts has 2factor locked and the owner can't remember what address they used or doesn't have access to an e-mail from 2007?

Well Infinitron helped me get back on my account after like 13 years or something. I just messaged him and explained my email was dead and the name of the email and that I had a new email and he sorted it out in like 2-3 minutes.

Infinitron thanks for that btw :incline:

Lophcraft's cat is the one that is both oppressed and glorified, right? At the docks or something?

How is Sumdrunkguy doing?

On the topic of HP Lovecraft's cat..

We all know the cat was named "Nigger-Man."

And they all say Lovecraft is racist.

The thing is.. You kinda love your animals...

In fact, Lovecraft loves cats.

Some actual quotes:

What a boy he was! I watched him grow from a tiny black handful to one of the most fascinating & understanding creatures I've ever seen. He used to talk in a genuine language of varied intonations—a special tone for every different meaning. There was even a special "prrr'p" for the smell of roast chestnuts, on which he dotes. He used to play ball with me—kicking a large rubber sphere back at me from half across the room with all four feet as he lay on the floor. And on summer evenings in the twilight he would prove his kinship to the elfin things of shadow by racing across the lawn on nameless errands, darting into the blackness of the shrubbery now & then, & occasionally leaping at me from ambush & then bounding away again into invisibility before I could catch him.
By the way Lovecraft makes fun of hicks/Hillbillies. Associates New England with being a fucked up degenerate race altogether. There's always the "slant eyed" "Oriental." I don't think he wrote "niggers" ever in any dialogue, but instead he often implies that "negroes" are lazy as fuck. And then the tribes still living indigenous lifestyles are almost always cults to the cosmic gods.

And I'm not sure exactly but it's quite possible he made fun of rednecks sometime. And/or "white trash." I can't really remember because this shit's insane.

I'm guessing there's bipolar depression in the mix as well, given how his posting pattern alternates between "I am the greatest thing since sliced bread" and "I am worthless and the only reason I still exist is because I suck too much to kill myself successfully". Can you mix lithium with booze?

100% pure anglo-saxon
lmao, even without mixing with others the mix is already in the name. The history of Britannia is eternal mix of anglos, saxons and other germanics with celts and other natives, and let's not pretend Romans and French didn't fuck around either.

But from I got from his writing as far as I read he was just 'racist' against blacks, 'racist' in brackets because his racism was rather standard in the society at the time, everybody in Anglo world took for granted that people of black skin color were of inferior intelligence (again, as far as I remember Anglo countries' history). But it wouldn't surprise me if he thought of everybody who wasn't like him as inferior, he was high on autism.

Romans and Normans didn't leave any lasting contributions to British DNA. Neither did the vikings outside of one british isle that was theirs. https://www.newscientist.com/articl...invaders-transformed-britain-but-not-its-dna/

Which makes spurious claims like blacks were always there laughable even if the romans brought over 50K of them (which they didn't the north african soldiers would have been Mediterranean and close to Romans and Greeks) their dna would have been erased by independent assortment plus centuries of Celtic and Anglosaxon input.

2018 was more than half a decade ago though. Not "a few years."

Thanks, Liberal.

Unfortunately you're wrong. As usual.
