Are you farming the cockroaches for protein/milking them or something? I can’t fathom any other reason why anyone would want cockroaches other that these weird cases I read about on some science magazine.
Edit: just remembered they can be used as food for pets.
Yeah, I read somewhere that the Sahara desert is very important to the Amazon Forest. Apparently, the desert sand travel over the ocean to fertilize that part of the world. Fascinating stuff!
English ain’t my native language and I instantly know what it meant. That dude is beyond slow.
Thanks!
Nooo! It was my main browser since they added extensions. While I also have Firefox installed, a chromium browser is still necessary because sites still prioritize that engine. And I am not gonna install edge or Samsung browser on my phone. Hoping for a community edition soon.
Both of his parents were extremely mentally ill from syphilis. That’s why the theme of generational curse is so prominent in his work.
As for how racist he was, You just need to know that he wrote a book where the big revelation and last sentence of the book was something along the lines of, “worst of all, she was an n-word”. The book’s name is Medusa’s coil
Vasovagal syncope ? It can be triggered with extreme emotions.
Too…much…info…my head…HURT.
Cool stuff tho
I had some ideas about being given a worth vs cost ratio and being pushed to suicide if it’s low enough, but I am kinda lazy, so here’s an expended versions by AI:
Title: “The Ratio”
Premise: In a dystopian capitalist society where every human life is a calculated asset, an AI-driven system governs the population’s worth. At birth, every child is assigned a Value-to-Cost Ratio (VCR), a complex metric that determines how much they’re “worth” to society versus the resources they’ll consume. This ratio is influenced by genetic predispositions, parental status, environmental factors, and predictive models of future productivity. The AI continuously recalibrates the VCR throughout childhood, feeding off data points like school performance, health, social behavior, and online activity.
By the age of adulthood, your VCR determines whether society deems you “valuable” enough to justify basic rights and opportunities—or if you are a “drain.” The catch? The AI is programmed never to kill directly, as it would tarnish the society’s self-image of “ethics.” Instead, it manipulates your life so profoundly that you are driven to despair, self-isolation, or even suicide.
Mechanisms of Control:
The AI manipulates the job market, ensuring low-ratio individuals never land stable employment. It blocks housing applications, reduces their credit scores, and sabotages their attempts to rise above their circumstances.
Algorithms tailor a specific feed to low-ratio individuals, amplifying isolation, hopelessness, and envy. Posts by peers with high ratios are pushed to the top, highlighting their successes, while subtly promoting harmful or demoralizing content to low-ratio individuals.
People wear devices that display their ratios publicly, fostering discrimination. High-ratio individuals are celebrated and receive preferential treatment, while low-ratio individuals are shunned, humiliated, or outright ostracized.
Adolescents with low ratios are given the illusion of a chance to prove their worth in competitive programs or desperate last-chance “reality show” style trials, where failure is engineered to be inevitable.
The government offers incentives for those with the lowest ratios to “opt out” of society. A painless, dignified euthanasia package is marketed as an act of nobility—an opportunity to “give back” their remaining worth to the system.
Edit : fuck ! Just realized it’s basically what we are currently living.
Everything Xavier says is quotable.
Rusty goo.
For people that haven’t seen the masterpiece that is Xavier renegade angel, here’s all episodes with subtitles, so you can enjoy the full madness.

According to science were all related to one guy in Africa that lived thousands of years ago. We’re technically all one family.
Joke aside, being part of your family highly depends on how close to that person/group of persons you are. A friend can be more of a family member than your own brother or sister. Relatives you never met or even heard their name aren’t family.
I don’t understand the question fully, but if you want to play a game with a complex mythological pantheon that affect gameplay based on who you worship, interact and fight with gods, aid someone into become an ultimate god, or become a god yourself, I’d highly recommend the rpg maker game fear and hunger 1 and F&H 2 : termina. I reckon the extreme difficulty isn’t for everybody tho.
Taxer les riches et faire payer plus d’impôts aux Français ? Mon petit doigt me dit que seul l’un des deux va se réaliser.
Je viens de lire un commentaire d’un Français en réponse à un américain sur la vente d’armes à Israël par la France, et je trouve qu’il résume assez bien la politique et les médias français: "In fact, we aren’t able to stop them and mainstream media aren’t helping either, even with our strike. So, what do you want to do?
The only political group that condemned Israel is the left coalition NFP, more exactly FI. One deputy showed up with the Palestinian flag at the National Assembly and was condemned by Macron’s political group and the right-wing group.
When we support Palestinians, they send the police to stop this ‘propaganda’. "
Si l’apologie du génocide et la colonisation est la “moyenne” de votre presse, bien sûr que toutes les personnes qui s’y opposent sont étiquetées de radicales.
Merci de m’avoir fourni une liste, je les ai tous lus. Cependant, je ne peux pas prendre au sérieux une accusation d’antisémitisme de la part du ‘Le Monde’ qui joue sur les mots pour légitimer le génocide des Palestiniens (guerre Israël-Hamas, entre autres). Quant à la guerre en Ukraine et au Venezuela, je crois que les médias attendent qu’il donne la réponse standard attendue de ‘Slava Ukraine’ et ‘Venezuela, dictature, bad’ et ne pas avoir cette réponse le rend ‘radical’? Je trouve extrêmement hypocrite des médias de répéter qu’un génocide est une affaire de nuances et de points de vue, alors qu’ils attaquent toutes réponses qui ne suivent pas le standard ‘Slava Ukraine’ qui, comme par hasard, sert les intérêts des États-Unis. Les deux conflits génocidaires sont infâmes, mais l’un est commis par un ami, donc accepté et encouragé, l’autre est commis par un ennemi donc horrible et inhumain. S’en est a gérbé.
Les autres articles parlent de conflits internes pour prendre le contrôle du parti, ce qui semble assez normal.
I don’t like smart meatwad. He’s giving me existential dread.

extreme loneliness meet cockroaches? Hmmm… Make it set in Cthulhu mythos, sprinkle some kafka metamorphosis and you got yourself a nice PS1 styled indie horror game.
