About an hour on, almost rdy to pull and braise :3

>>8173
That looks really nice

Alright, let's talk Christmas dinner.

Alton Brown has a technique for a prime rib that works really well: you unpackage the roast 4 days before cooking and let it sit for 2 days in the fridge, wrapped in cheese cloth, and then for the next 2 day you dry rub/brine.

But I have a brisket. So lets get fancy
The plan
- Comprehensive red wine and spice marination, 18 hrs
- S/low cook in marinade until 165
- Pat dry, binder with smoked lard, and season
- Texas crutch, onto the smoker for like 6 hours, basting with compound butter every 15-20 mins
- after internals at 205, baste with a creme bruglee-esque glaze/paste, and crisp with a blowtorch

Plan includes cloves in the fat cap during the butter basting stage, for extra extra (it works for ham)

The Marinade
1 bottle dry Merloy
1 roasted shallots
3 bulbs roasted garlic
2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 small sprig fresh sage
½ cup fresh or cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Fun fact about country livestock butchers versus city/production butchers. See that hazy membrane that looks like silverskin? Thats not silverskin. Conventional butchers trim that off and mix it in with their ground beef cuz it looks off.
That membrane turns into beef jelly. Its incredible. But they cut it off for the store cuz ppl don't know what it is. So sad.

>>8179
Are you saying i'm in fact immune to propaganda?
>>8184
This tbh

>>8184
>I saw the taco bell dog
>how does that fit in
Hold up,... I'ma let u finish... but did u just bust in my NLP thread with corpprate programming,... and then ask how thatbrelates to NLP...
Bruh, Ill answer, but this is better than what I had planned.
>how does my correlation with Taco Bell commercials from the '90s relate to NLP
Like, isnt it obvious?

>>8185
>this tbh
>does this mean Im immune
Lol no

I was gonna do a long-winded tirade about how deliberate language can hijack your mental processes and make you think thinks you werent intending,...

But u came at with the Taco Bell dog,... I couldnt have asked for a better example if I had planned it.

Yes, NLP is a thing. Learn about it, or get fucked by guys in suits who know how to exploit how your brain works.

So for clarity, I picked a Chihuahua for the OP image because a longstanding game with me and my friends growing up was to "find the yippy dog (usually in a car) make it angry, and then decribe it randomly exploding", to the hilarity of all present. It was dumb, but it made us laugh.

Neuro Linguistic Programming, is coming 'back' in a big way with social media. Tiktok, TY shorts, Instagram reels,... people are being conditioned to be MORE receptive to it. Idk, maybe this thread becomes a discussion, maybe a cautionary statement. And maybe ppl here ARE immune, and its just everyone else they should be aware of.

Suddenly and without warning, an alligator snapping-turtle sails through the air, a pair of fake wings attached to it's shell. On it's back, holding a makeshift set of reigns is seated a squirrel-monkey wearing aviator goggles, with a panicked expression

ITT we discuss the imperitive nature of Neuro Linguistic Programming (and other related forms) and it's significance to society.

The proliferation of smartphones and devices has enabled people to provide themselves with constant input. People are being programmed every waking moment by the content they consume. Content creators are often knowingly producing content intended to force their audience to entertain ridiculous notions.

Look at Dragonage: Vanguard. Yeah, everyone clowns on it, but theyre missing important aspects. While its hilarious that it failed, DA:V offers a point of insight.
If you've watched or decide to, of the ridiculous exchanges "taking a Baarv" is hands down the cringiestha, thats how you best the word filter and not just because of shit writing. You're watching a master-class in globo-homo conditioning. As we speak, liberal school teachers are planning to literally bring their trans friends in for "special" class segments going over what it means to be trans, with stupid "respect/abasement" gestures just like that. The point of DA:V was to precondition people, so that when those teachers do, the child could connect it to "that game from before". It was intended to plant the seed for the next generation, same as Concord.

Have y'all seen the skibidi Fortnite shit?
One wonders in what ways skibidi toilet affects the brain.

Might seem off, but from a dispositional/strategic standpoint, this applies.

Also, ffs wheres all tbe pagans?
https://youtube.com/shorts/M9IhYqKOO_c?si=DfSpkWiQj5W__Ozy

Hey OP! Not a pagan, but if you go through the archive you'll find threads about druids and various solstices. Tangentially related, but it might yield fruit until someone else scurries out of the woodwork.
I happen to have a vested interest in theology, and alongside Tibetan Buddhism and Christian mysticism, I am fascinated by Asartu. I believe that one should find parallels and contrasts in such studies.
I may not be the ideal audience, but we could generate discussion by tapping into scholarly resources and examining them.

>>8181
Theres no "ideal" audience, but I had hoped that the seemingly pagan periphery might take the stage. Its what the Patriarch represents.

Sidenote, how many "anti-patriatchy" bitches are witches who prescribe to a Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine, the latter of which,....
Nevermind,....

>>8175
>>8182

Not sure if I'd count as a pagan exactly, but I find the Evolian/Nietzschean side of right-wing metaphysics tends to resonate better with me than the Jeebus stuff, and I have some occult type interests.

>>8135
Hmm, I don't about cows man. I even grew up on a farm. So I have spent my youth with them. Horses are more appealing. I mean cows are friendly but they look somewhat... Uhh, goofy. Horses are more regal. ^^

>>8136
Arizona is a cutie tho.

>>8136
>cows are goofy looking
Thats one ofmy favorite things about them honestly, beyond that theyre tasty

This is for Downpour of Fire thread:

You thought this thread wasn't gonna get updated didn't you? Me as well.

-----------------

Sunset shouted back, [color #]"Hey! Dad! We're in here!"[/color]

Sunset lead the others out of their ruined home.

Twilight clung but also supported her mother who was still a bit weak from surviving a burning building. Yeah. Velvet looked around her beautiful kitchen with a sort of forlorn look but it was also then the tears began to pour out from her eyes like waterfalls. Sunset had a weird feeling about this whole thing. She felt anger. She didn't see this a natural disaster that accidentally befell them, like the others ultimately saw it. She pinned the blame on the dragon. He did this! And... While she knew her threats were meaningless, she wanted... No, he would pay! Surely, she could carry out such a promise, with her weird powers?

Exactly when they exited their burnt home, man with well combed hair ran straight into them. Sunset hesitated for a second and that's all it took for the man tip over his wife and daughter.

"You're alive!" he shouted seemingly oblivious to the fact that they lay on the ground beneath him after he essentially tackled them.

At first it seem as if Velvet was upset over being tackled and while she groaned, her tears flowed even faster.

This is some random fantasy I had:

Jun let her wound patch themselves up before she stood up; her yellow aura, a body-slim field of energy in the color of her soul: yellow, lit up around her and the scratches, bruises, and bleeding were all healed up as if they were dirt being washed away by hot water. She heard a loud pop sound as she felt shoulder return to it's normal position.

Then she stood up. She patted off the dirt on her sick black cloak as much as she could. She check so her sword was still in it's scabbard. She felt Excalibur's handle on her smooth little hand palm.

Then her gaze wander across the spear. The one that had hit her with full speed in the fall. It was stuck into the grass a bit further away from where she had crashed.

She absentmindedly move over to it and inspected it. It felt familiar or at least the color scheme, no it was probably just her imagination. Regardless, she'd wait for it's owner to arrive? But this spear was their arm and now they had no weapon in the middle of a grim-infested forest. Yeah, she had to find them

But where had the spear come from? She looked around. Trees, bushes, trees, grass, trees, and boulders. Yeah, she didn't know squat. And setting off in a random direction, just hoping to encounter the owner didn't feel like a smart idea. She just might as well walk away from them for all she knew. Yes, this was entirely her fault and shouldn't really be this hard. But yeah, what can you do?

She sat down cross-legged and shut her eyes. She steadied her breathing while adjusting her posture. She sent her awareness out with the magic of the world. Searching for anyone nearby.

Nothing. Grim. More Grim. Nothing. A person. Woman. Light but hard armor. Confident. Determined. But aware of the danger she is in. Powerful but not in the ways of magic. She prods the woman and the woman seems just annoyed by a sudden ghost ache she can't place but that she thinks nothing of, instead of realizing someone is aware of her.

"I sense you," you whisper.

The woman stops and looks around.

"Come here." You project your presence with magic. Causing all things living and dead to be drawn to you. She will be here soon.

>>8138
>beyond that theyre tasty
"Hey, master. Do you want a bath, some dinner, or parhaps... Me."
"Why did you offer the same thing twice?"
>Honorary /mlp/, 10/10 would boop
Indeed. ^^

Okay, this might be interesting.

Shitpost before you walk...

Futas aren't born as ordinary girls at first but when they reach puberty, then suddenly they gain something: A package.

----

Pyrrha saw her javelin lodged into the ground. She ran up to it, pulled it out, transformed it into it's blade form, and sheathed it. Then she looked up.

The forest eased up here and small meadows of grass rose between the dotted out straggler trees. However, that fell into the background as her focused shifted to the many heaps of uprooted moss and grass, along with their roots and the dirt that clung to them across her. It look like something between a plow and warthog had gone berserk down a path here. The line of damage ended in patch dark ground with folded up grass rug next to it. As she got closer, the size and form of the patch reminded her of a small human body.

Did that girl crash here? she thought. An image of the blonde girl dressed in a black cloak came to her mind.

Pyrrha had appreciated that she'd interrupted Weiss as the girl had offered to team-up solely for Pyrrha's reputation. What she hadn't expected, however, was that the interruption would cause Pyrrha to but change her mind on Weiss'es character as an networking elitist to a girl seeking out her own path. In strange way, she felt that Weiss felt more, well, normal for a lack of a better word and the girl.

Who refers to themselves as inferior? she thought.

If this was her crash/landing site, then the girl had to be nearby. So where was she?

Pyrrha's gaze darted around in search for the girl.

She moved her gloved hands to the sides of her mouth before calling out, "H-hello?"

Maybe it wasn't smart to make noise with Grim nearby but Pyrrha felt more worried for the girl. She could
be alone, perhaps injured or at least low on aura after what Pyrrha assumed was a failed attempt of a landing strategy. Pyrrha felt sure she could fight off any Grim who'd be drawn out.

---

"H-hello?"

"Tsk," Jun clicked her tongue. She bent her lips into her mouth and pulled her lips into a thin line as she drew them apart. Both her eyebrows weighed heavily on her.

Why? she thought. Why is she still here? Doesn't she realize that if our gazes met we're partners for the next... Well, until the Vytal Festival.

Her eyebrows jumped up.

Maybe she doesn't. Okay, then.

Jun stood up and in doing so moved out of the cover a nearby bush provided her.

Being part of a church already can be a dangerous thing in this era, as it can lead to one of two thoughts where the person can either believe himself already knowledgeable about the text and has already applied the lessons, or believes the Bible to be something akin to a community gathering point with a book reading. Especially in the churches that express modern values and interpretations that deviate from the obvious meaning being expressed. In either case, I would prepare for a resistance to the content of the Bible.

The matrix belief I assume is the belief that the world is a simulation? Or perhaps it is the belief that the world is an illusion and the reality lies behind what can be see? Though an element of this is the truth, as the world is not the totality of existence.

2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

1 John 4:20
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

But the world is very much real, as God created man in it, bothers to fight for it, and will make another earth.

Revelation 20:4-6
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Revelation 21:1-5
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

>who am I to blurt it out to him
God can do this for you. The response to the Bible reveals the truth and someone that is saved will grow in the fruit of the Spirit, as he desires to grow closer to God. He won't be perfect, but he will respect the Bible.

Asking if he is ok lately and if he would like to hear the comforting words that you read in the Bible might be a good way to introduce the Bible into the equation, which will reveal where his heart is. Again, I have as of yet not had success with my methods, so perhaps they are not the greatest to restore friendship and bringing someone to Christ, but it is the best I can provide.

James 5:19-20
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Thank you, for some reason I hadn't yet come across Elijah and Elisha, and will definitely refer to those verses in the letter to my friend.
The NIV church that he and his family visit is one that seems to operate on my friend's terms rather than God's, and it'll likely be one of his "security blankets" that I should be careful to not pull away, but rather let him slowly remove himself and on his own terms when introducing the more Biblically-accurate alternatives.
>The matrix belief I assume is the belief that the world is a simulation? Or perhaps it is the belief that the world is an illusion and the reality lies behind what can be see?
Yes, pretty much but also and more malevolently it's a simulated reality/existence/trap created by parasitic entities, and this artificial reality has limits to it that never exceed those of which the person living inside the artificial reality can handle.
(Personally, I believe that satan and his synagogue-of-satan/etc. minions are trying everything to counterfeit and replace God, using technology, psychology, pharmacology, electromagnetic radiation, media, fake religions/scripture/cults/culture, illness, addictions, alterations to the environment etc. - creating a type of world inside a world, which only they control - though I don't yet fully know how well supported this belief is Biblically.
I do know that satan is currently allowed to be god of this world, but I suppose even that will have its limits of what satan is allowed to do; a set of limits which can be removed by absorbing people into another world, a world only controlled by satan and precursor to hell when the body finally dies. For example, our true-world still has actual Christians passing through it, with the power to make real-world changes, whereas other people will need to specifically turn completely away from God's protection before being able to fully take part inside this fake-world being constructed. We can see fake-worlds inside communist regimes, but advances in and adoption of technology will make this fake-world seem perfectly normal and thus inescapable.)

My friend apparently cannot handle the newfound unknown harshness and dangers of the world that exists outside of the old and known harshness and dangers within the world/matrix that he's inside of. That's why I regret being so "arrogant" in assuming he'd simply see the deeper and even more disturbing reality behind a subject - assuming he'd move away from the dangers that he knows he can handle, rather than bringing them even closer to him, like he has. However, I don't actually know if my letter to him had that effect - for some reason, it feels like he had already made up his mind years before. The Corinthians verse sounds very suitable for his situation, because judging by his letter to me he's strongly holding on to what he can see, while at the same time trying to escape from it.

Thank you for taking time to read through my lengthy outpourings of thoughts and answering them. I've been pretty emotional lately due to recent deaths and illnesses of loved ones, and am myself feeling pretty weak and ineffective right now.

Gently quoting the real Jesus Christ (not the feel-good honey-coated censored NIV/etc.-type counterfeits) and Him being the ultimate authority, rather than satan (or satan's works), would be a positive non-confrontational approach for someone as hurting as my friend.

My thoughts on charisma: satan has boundless charisma (when it suits him), but only God has/is the truth. "One word of truth outweighs the world." Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I just need to speak from the heart, without traces of my own worries or intimidation like in my last letter.
Thank you, again.

>>7310
>>7313
Did you bring it to God?
Did you ask?
Did you wait and listen to what He says?

>>7314
Vital questions, and yes to all. I got the answer months ago, but have been too intimidated to go through with it and instead have spent most of my spare time and thoughts preparing, because I'm doubting my own abilities to handle such a serious situation properly after failing to save another dear friend of mine during a critical time - I was doing much better before that had happened.
That's why I was so open on here - in a way to gather the last bit of courage and get my shit together, but also add some final outside positive influence into the mix. Getting an answer and not going through with it is enough of a crime already, but now there are Earthly witnesses too. No more delays now.

You should know.

Quit CHOOSING Easy.

Wanna stop male loneliness?
Tell them the truth rather than lies. For the most part, we have generations of fatherless boys who cannot find ways to turn to men.
Either sex, or religion, or drugs, they try to navigate an extremely hostile environment and it’s no wonder they escape to things like that.
No one asks the question what are these men escaping from?

>>7051
I listen to the one on the right more

It's a very boomer solution, but sometimes typing in the name of a text (usually an academic tract) and "pdf" works, as you might find a third-world site that hosts an article for free that would normally be behind a paywall.
If you're interested in reading economics, mises.org as well as Tom Woods (https://tomwoods.com/freebooks/) publish a lot of their books for free because they consider the message and publicity more important than sales. It's genius marketing; I don't know if Counter-Currents does the same thing but they should.
