Munich Accord

Chill Evil

A friend of mine had to leave her beloved home city of Munich after it was overrun by Islamic harassers and abusers. She now lives in a small village in Switzerland.

Europe is going to be in very, very bad way soon. Hell, already is. But it’ll only get worse as it is fully Islamicized.

Binned It

Chill Annoying, Rant

The liberals really stuffed it up with their unqualified support for the very worst and verifiably untrue aspects of the trans hysteria.

Unfortunately for them, biology is real, chromosomes exist, nearly everyone is definitely one sex or the other (human biological sex is almost perfectly binary), most people should not be transitioning (and should instead receive mental health assistance), surgical transition is dangerous and should hardly every be done, and puberty blockers cause actual predictable harm.

This wasn’t wholly what lost them 2024. No, it was mostly inflation. But this wackiness certainly contributed.

Econ Mig

Chill Evil

It is a business, and a scam. It works a bit differently in the US vs. the UK, but legitimate asylum cases are maybe 0.1% of actual immigrants. The rest are economic migrants who should not be allowed in — especially if they are North African and/or Muslim.

Fet

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Sort of true, what Lizzy is saying. I honestly do not imagine sexual scenarios with my female friends. Not every man does that. It just never occurs to me, even if I think they are beautiful. I’m not as sexually driven as many men, though, and never have been.

I do have to say, though, that anyone who thinks men and women cannot be friends is a fetid dipshit. There is something very wrong with them morally and ethically.

Grade A

Chill Movies

The warm, natural color grading of 80s and 90s movies shot on film.

I’d like to point out that none of these movies have anything resembling “natural” color! The “warm, natural” vibe people remember from a lot of ’80s and ’90s movies isn’t some untouched neutral image. It’s just as crafted a look as any more modern film. Back then, the look and feel was created using the chosen film stock, lenses and filters, lighting, lab timing, and was optimized for the way those movies would’ve been viewed at the time. (In fact, many of those films would have had digital intermediates.)

How those films look is no more “natural” than the films created now. And those films were all produced using wildly different techniques and technologies.

By the way, of course there is NO SUCH THING as a “natural” image. It’s all constructed. It’s similar to philosophy. If you believe it’s pointless and shouldn’t exist, it just means you are then following someone else’s philosophy without even being aware of it.
