Is anything I'm talking about remotely interesting to you? Do you have a favorite religion or being you'd like to post about? Please do! I need your mind. Mine is too small these days. I am a deeply depressed human and a sad, sad nihilist who lost touch with this side of myself long ago.

I want help from you guys. I'm writing a series of semi-pornographic (honestly just because I feel like leaving sex out of a novel is just as dishonest as leaving violence out of a novel if it needs to be there, not in particular to get people's rocks off) stories.
It starts off with the main character inheriting a half-burned book from her grandmother, which is a mostly translated French spellbook filled with her notes. She and her two friends basically begin their descent into the world of dreams, and begin learning not just how to drive their consciousness through into the planes of the collective human mind, but also how to manifest the malleability and changing nature of dreams in the real world.
Since it deals with the beliefs of the human race as a whole, my demons and eldritch beings can't just represent a teenage white boy's spirituality, because what would be the point?
I need help coming up with different-enough creatures, belief systems, and monsters, essentially. And also spells. I don't want DnD shit, I want ancient curses and luck magic primarily.
If you must know, the whole point of the series is that all perception and conscious life on earth is part of the mind of an ancient dead being, whose final will is to be reborn by contact with another being like itself in the physical world, which is basically the afterlife of my Lovecraft-style gods. Basically it wants humanity to expand out into the universe. That doesn't mean it's good, mind you. Or bad. It just wants to be reborn, or have its death changed, if that makes sense.
I just want to say it's great to see someone that is working on a story that actually knows how to spell and use proper punctuation. Best of luck on your endeavor.

Fuck off
I hope this can be accepted on the board, because personally I fucking hate /pol/, and I know it's more appropriate to put it there. Aside from that, I'll ask a question. Are we fucked? I've just come to the realization that powerful and rich people are getting what they want and we're not doing anything about it.
Global warming continues and we aren't being informed about it. Hollywood is changing the masses perspective and making them think what they want. The rich are staying rich and getting more rich, while more and more people are loosing money and being sent to the streets or forced to live in extremely bad living conditions. The government regulates food that poisons us and prevents or brains from functioning properly and healthy food is not being promoted. Or doctors are being bought by medicinal corporations. Our surgeons are most likely psychopaths. Age old political and economical systems aren't being changed or modified. Governmental and Social secrets are being kept from public. They want people to hate other people. They want people to hate feminists and feminists to hate people, they want people to hate Muslims and Muslims to hate people, they want white people hate colored people and colored people to hate white people, because ultimately this separates us and it would be a threat if we were together. They want people to have more electronic devises so people can be accessed and manipulated, much more efficiently.
It seems that a lot of people believe these kind of notations are too far fetched to try and prevent, so people avoid doing something about it, completely. So I am pondering the question, are we fucked? Seriously though. It seems like their is no possible way to prevent the complete takeover of our society, unless we all do something about it. Do you think we can do anything, because I'm all ears. Honestly I have lost all hope in human society.
Is it worth saving? This question is coming not from a disillusioned youth, I'm a 43 year old father of 2 and wonder the same questions. Perhaps a reboot is in order.

A man known for his cryptic lyrics, Maynard Keenan fronts Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Please share your interpretations of his songs/albums.
Each band has a different focus. Tool is a general self-exploration. A Perfect Circle tends to be an exploration of human depravity. Puscifer sounds like an odd blend of the two with a little more focus on collaboration with other artists.
"Hooker With A Penis" seems to be a response to a fan accusing the band of selling out after the release of "Sober." It may also refer to Fuck You Buddy/So Long Sucker game invented in 1950 by John Forbes Nash that requires making agreements with other players which are ultimately unenforceable. Finally, there's a reference to Genesis 1:28 ("be fruitful and multiply")
>>16052983
I completely agree with you on this. It would seem to reflect the three aspects of Keenan's psyche: anger, sadness and creativity.
As with threads about dreams, /x/ is always constantly being flooded with "wut symbol r dis?" threads, so have another general. Symbols, sigils, whatever, post 'em here and get answers. Also applies to coins, amulets, pendants, and other jewelry or artifacts.

A complete copy of the Sitra Achra has proven to be very hard to find online.
Tthe ship that sank was in fact Titanic's sister ship Olympic, disguised as Titanic, as an insurance scam by her owners, the International Mercantile Marine Group, controlled by American financier J.P. Morgan that had acquired the White Star line in 1902.
Olympic was the slightly older sister of Titanic, built alongside the more famous vessel but launched in October 1910. Her exterior profile was nearly identical to Titanic, save for minor details such as the number of portholes on the forward C decks of the ships, the spacing of the windows on the B decks, and the forward section of the A deck promenade on Titanic that had been enclosed only a few weeks before she set sail on her ill-fated maiden voyage. This may have been done to give her a slightly different appearance to increase the illusion that Titanic was really a new ship. Both ships were built with linoleum floors, but shortly before she was due to set sail J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, inexplicably ordered the floors aboard Titanic carpeted over. This could have been done to cover up the worn linoleum floors on the slightly older Olympic which by then had her nameplates switched to become Titanic to give her the appearance of a brand new ship.
On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in the Brambles Channel in Southampton Water. The two ships were close enough to each other that Olympic's motion drew the Hawke into her aft starboard side, causing extensive damage to the liner - both above and below its waterline (HMS Hawke was fitted with a re-inforced 'ram' below the waterline, purposely designed to cause maximum damage to enemy ships). An Admiralty inquiry assigned blame to the Olympic, despite numerous eye-witness accounts to the contrary.
Gardiner's theory plays out in this historical context. Olympic was found to be at blame in the collision (which, according to Gardiner, had damaged the central turbine's mountings and bent the keel, giving the ship a slight permanent list to port). Because of this finding, White Star's insurers Lloyds of London allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. White Star's flagship would also be out of action during the extensive repairs, and the Titanic's completion date, which was already behind schedule due to Olympic's return to the yard after her loss of a propeller blade, would have to be delayed. All this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company. Gardiner proposes that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched-up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic.
>>16051581
So you're saying that they switched ships, without anyone knowing (somehow all the port reports failed to notice that the Olympic had magically teleported overnight,) got hundreds of people killed...all to deal some worn linoleum tile?
Eh, I guess i've heard dumber ideas...
The Titanic indeed had a slight list to port leaving Southampton. Inadequate trimming of cargo and bunkers would likely result in such and the crew seems to have demonstrated a lack of proficiency on several occasions. A list to port was noted by several Titanic survivors including Lawrence Beesley who wrote in his book about the sinking: "I then called the attention of our table to the way the Titanic listed to port (I had noticed this before), and we watched the skyline through the portholes as we sat at the purser's table in the saloon." (The dining saloon windows were double rows of portholes covered on the inside with screens of leaded decorative glass with no clear view of the outdoors.) This was echoed by survivor Norman Chambers, who testified that after the collision: "However, there was then a slight list to starboard, with probably a few degrees in pitch; and as the ship had a list to port nearly all afternoon, I decided to remain up."
Gardiner states that few parts of either ship bore the name, other than the easily removed lifeboats, bell, compass binnacle, and name plates. Everything else was standard White Star issue and was interchangeable between the two ships, and other vessels in the White Star fleet. While all other White Star Line Ships had their name engraved into the hull, the Titanic alone had its name riveted over top. In recent pictures of the wreck depicting a spot where two riveted plates that had spelled Titanic fell off, the letters MP appear to be stamped into the hull.
Hello /x/.
Today I'm here on a very specific mission. I have some questions on the location on pic related. All my research has fallen short, as I cannot find the exact cabin. I would like any help in finding E Zed, the OP of the story. He said he would answer questions over email, but I cannot find it! He didn't leave it in the original thread either. I know the post will be 2 years old as of the 22nd, but any help would be helpful.
Also lets get a good ol skinwalker type thread going.
I'll add some screencaps I have saved as we go, but please contribute! Especially if you have some OC or info on the Ruby Valley.

anyone for a hollow earth thread?

No!
World Top Secret:
Our Earth IS Hollow!
Located at 87.7 degrees North and South Latitude are Polar Openings
that lead into the hollow interior of our planet where the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel today dwell
in perfect harmony, with life spans equal to those of the Methuselahs of the Bible,
whose only desire is to live in peace. Their flying saucers in defense of their
country at times are seen on our surface world. They don't come to destroy, they are waiting...
Waiting for us to discover
that world peace is the only answer, not without God, but WITH Him.
We Must Prepare for Their Return...
If you were in a hollow earth like in OP's pic you would fall into the sun at the center. GRAVITY always acts as if it is all located at the center of mass of an object no matter what its shape. No, the earth would not be spinning fast enough to glue you thru centripetal force to the inside to the shell.
Tampa here. Looking for some interesting /x/ related stuff from around my area.
http://www.wfla.com/story/27897496/u-f-o-sightings-in-tampa-bay-lead-to-air-force-investigations
>On June 5 1949, 20 miles northwest of Tampa, there were reports of a "bright object...spinning and spiraling toward earth." The weather service claimed it was a meteor. Ten members of the 307th Bombardment Wing stationed at MacDill Air Force base disagreed.
>The Air Intelligence Information Report states, "An unidentified object traveling … at a very high rate of speed was observed by Aircrew personnel of the 307th Bm Gp. This object was emitting white smoke and/or vapor trail which indicated its flight path was horizontal but very erratic in direction. It made a large "Z" turn on course and then faded from view. It is the opinion of this officer that this object was not a meteor due to its erratic course."

Those who did hear stories often dismissed them as a fanciful tales made all the more unbelievable by accounts that the tunnels were secret passages for moving aliens captured by the Air Force or that they harbor the ghost that reportedly haunts Fire Station 1.
http://weirdus.com/states/florida/unexplained_phenomena/booming_sounds/index.php
>Over the past fifty years Floridians have periodically heard unexplained booming sounds. These acoustical mysteries have occurred in both the atmosphere and underground. In the 1950s, booming sounds were frequently heard in the Ocala National Forest but most of those were attributed to the military’s Ocala Bombing Range. However, in more recent times the same kind of sounds have been heard over a wider area without any apparent connection to military activities. People described the sounds “like a super-sonic aircraft makes when it breaks the sound barrier.” Windows would rattle and the ground would shake which caused some people to say it was coming from underground.

Could the Russian Sleep Experiment possibly be real?
Even though the Nazis are famous for their cruelty, few people realise Stalin's regime was even more horrific. I believe it to be plausible because it happened after WW2, thus prisoners of war would have been an obvious choice for experiments.
Russians have outdone everyone in these punishments and stuff. Even Stalin was a punisher! They're fierce.
I think this must be true and there's no need for the social media and other critics blow this thing out of limits. Many kinds of tortures are known since the human civilisation. This is just one of 'em!
i think there must be some truth to this story. it sounds quite plausible.
there aren't really any drugs that'll do shit like described in the story, fanciful is a fair description..
There are lots of mysterious drugs out there but there really isn't anything that can't be compared to common recreational drugs. Some of the new stimulants are pretty fucked up shit apparently, 'bath salts' or now 'flakka', but beyond shadow people that isn't really /x/
There are probably some pretty wild drugs the government is holding on to for a later epidemic...
The skunk ape, also known as the swamp ape, stink ape, Florida Bigfoot, myakka ape, and myakka skunk ape, is a hominid cryptid said to inhabit the U.S. states of Florida, North Carolina, and Arkansas, although reports from Florida are more common. It is named for its appearance and for the unpleasant odor that is said to accompany it. According to the United States National Park Service, the skunk ape does not exist.
Reports of the skunk ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1974, sightings of a large, foul-smelling, hairy, ape-like creature, which ran upright on two legs were reported in suburban neighborhoods of Dade County, Florida. Skeptical investigator Joe Nickell has written that some of the reports may represent sightings of the black bear (Ursus americanus) and it is likely that other sightings are hoaxes or misidentification of wildlife.

>People that have been around animals know they stink. Dogs, coyotes, bears, etc have a smell. And animals like rolling in smelly substances. Even horses and chickens.
>Now, with the gray coat, the lack of eye shine, and the fact it was on its knuckles like a gorilla (I'm assuming that's what OP meant), anyone think this is an old skunk ape? Cataracts would kill eye shine. And if he was old, possibly he can't take care of himself, has infections, and therefore would smell horrible. Yes, most skunk apes are said to stink, but not to the point of making someone vomit.
>I lived on a farm for almost three decades, and infections, especially in long haired animals, are rank as hell. My double coated dog had one recently. He smelled like rotting flesh. Had to shave him bald to find the abscess. Opened it up the rest of the way and cleaned it out. If I wasn't used to disgusting shit like that, I'm sure I'd be vomiting too.
>I think it was on the fence on whether to chase you off or eat you. It was debating and sizing you up. If it was old and injured, it was probably hungry and trying to decide if it was hungry enough to risk injuring itself further. Hell, maybe it was wondering why two idiots were out on a gravel road at night instead of a campground.
>Most bigfoot attacks involve thrown rocks and twigs. They used to straight up murder people in the past. Actually he didn't do much to try to intimidate you. He crashed through the woods a little.
>As for the bearing of teeth/smiling, it probably thought it was hidden until it realized your friend saw it.
>Fire deters a lot of shit. Fire is something all animals are instinctively scared of. Even humans, except when we control it. We know campfire=safety and wildfire=death.
>Light would also expose it. You guys were in an open area, if it came out in the firelight, you'd see it. It obviously needed the element of surprise to attack or it was using the dark to observe you.

>The first time Dave Shealy saw a skunk ape, he says, he was ten years old. It was 1974, a few years after his father had come upon a set of footprints left by the creature—an Everglades version of Bigfoot named for its supposedly pungent odor. Dave was out deer hunting with his older brother, Jack, in the swamp behind his house, in what’s now Big Cypress National Preserve, when he encountered the ape incarnate.
>“It was walking across the swamp, and my brother spotted it first. But I couldn’t see it over the grass—I wasn’t tall enough,” Shealy says. “My brother picked me up, and I saw it, about 100 yards away. We were just kids, but we’d heard about it, and knew for sure what we were looking at. It looked like a man, but completely covered with hair.”
>He and his brother stared at the creature, mouths agape, but almost at the same time, as he tells it, the skies opened and rain poured down. The ape hurried away, into the cypress hummocks scattered amongst the marsh. “Holy crap,” he remembers thinking. “I finally saw this damn thing, and it got away, just like that.”
