2025.01.23 09:54 Collt092 Gnaw their tongues-I speak the truth yet with every word uttered thousands die released 2020
 | Here we have one of the most recent albums from gnaw their tongues, and to me it might be my favorite. Everything I’ve heard from them is at the very least interesting, and unbelievably punishing however, I don’t go back to those other projects quite as much as this one. This album is to me his most hateful, and don’t get me wrong. His entire discography has been filled with Nilistic and disgusting music, however, on this record, it really feels like a step up in terms of the sick and demented nature of the record. as I mentioned every album by him is quite simply horrifying, but this one is the horrifying elements of the previous records turned up to 11, and that is partly because of how much noise influence is on this record. Don’t give me wrong most of his albums are glorified noise albums with bits and pieces of black metal. But in this record, it seems the only remnants of black metal are the vocals, and beyond that the record is just a noise record. And as you can tell from the sample, I posted on this post it is a unbelievably unhinged and tough album to listen to, however, for a trained ear like myself, it is not tough to listen to, it is simply horrifyingly fascinating and impressive. So I don’t think I will ever recommend this album to anybody except for people who I know has the stomach for it, however, if you can appreciate it, I think this is one of the most ambitious and ballsy releases in the history of black metal. Because this does not follow black metal conventions, sure it is made for a black metal audience, but when it comes too the staticy, wall of noise affect of this record, a lot of of black metal fans simply don’t have the tolerance for that. So to create an album, so unhinged and unapologetic that some of your fans, or people within your circle might not like it. I think it’s something truly commanding respect. So all in all, this is a absolutely brilliant record that in spite of it absolutely harsh and abrasive nature I get so much enjoyment from listening to because it is so powerful submitted by Collt092 to heavyvinyl [link] [comments] |

2025.01.23 09:54 tnemom_hurb Is it possible to increase a melee weapon's reach?
Been thoroughly enjoying ATM9 with some friends and we're pretty deep into it. I got a gauntlet from a boss and love it so much I have upgraded it a ton with gems and affixes and soon enchantments but it's an issue sometimes getting close to enemies and thought about finding a way to increase the reach on the gauntlet. After some quick searching I didn't see any items that might increase this specifically cause I use the Reach enchantment but that's only interacting with blocks. Hopefully there is something that does this in the modpack, any help is appreciated! (I saw that apparently the Enderman Traveler's Backpack does this but I prefer Sophisticated Backpacks myself so I'll cross that off)

2025.01.23 09:54 zazaspaza Rant on IndianOil Petrol Pump, on the highway.
I was running super late this morning for the office, so I decided to take my two-wheeler to fill it up before heading out. I stopped by the petrol pump outside Sanpada station, on the highway as i had to run for Andheri. Everything was fine. I told the uncle there to fill her up. It was 336 rupees. I paid it, and the amount was deducted. Everything was fine until now.
Now he tells me he hasn't received the payment. I told him that was his lookout and tried moving towards filling my vehicle's air. This man stood in front of my scooty, shouting for his colleague. I told him I'm getting late and to move aside. Politely. He refused to do so.
Now this new second guy appears and asks me to show him my phone. Upon showing it to him his first response is "it's fake"
Now this is where things started getting messy. I'm late, I have to run to Andheri and reach in possibly an hour. And this guy wants to play around by calling the payment fake?
Despite my frustration I told him to see it for himself and this dude GRABBED MY PHONE AND CHECKED THE PAYMENT.
Like?????????????
This was ofc followed w a lot of yelling and shouting. The audacity of this dude to tell me "shaant hojao chila kyu rahe ho?" This dude took my phone, went to my recent transactions, and opened the payment to confirm. Dude grabbed my phone even before I had the chance to show it to him.
I've stayed in Navi Mumbai for 15 years. Never have I ever seen such crassness out of people working at the petrol pumps.

2025.01.23 09:54 geopolicraticus Captain Cook Discovers the Hawai’ian Islands
Sunday 18 January 1778
Today in Philosophy of History
Captain Cook Discovers the Hawai’ian Islands
On 18 January 1778—247 years ago today—Captain James Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands. Here is Cook’s own record of the discovery:
“Friday 2nd January. We continued to see birds every day of the sorts last mentioned, sometimes in greater numbers than at others: and between the latitude of 10 and 11 we saw several turtle. All these are looked upon as signs of the vecinity of land; we however saw none till day break in the Morning of the 18th when an island was descovered bearing NEBE and soon after we saw more land bearing North and intirely ditatched from the first; both had the appearence of being high land.”It was Kauai that was first sighted, and the ship went on to reconnoiter other of the Hawaiian Island, which Cook called the Sandwich Islands after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was First Lord of the Admiralty when the discovery was made. Later the Islands were called Hawaii after the Hawaiian Mokupuni o Hawai‘i. Some accounts add that Captain Cook was the first westerner to arrive at the Hawaiian Islands, since Polynesian navigators got there somewhere between 1,200 to 1,500 years before Cook arrived. One estimate puts the size of the human population of Hawaii upon Cook’s arrival at about a quarter million persons.
Given their remoteness, the islands of the South Pacific were among the last places on Earth to be settled by human beings. Before the Polynesians, the islands of the South Pacific were populated by what biogeographers sometimes call “sweepstakes” dispersion routes, because the methods are all unlikely, with the chance of successful dispersion by these routes being as good as winning a lottery, and the more distant and isolated the island, the more unlikely it was to be colonized by species from the mainland. Birds can fly to most islands, but distant and isolated islands sometimes only come by their bird species when birds are blown there by a storm. Insects can easily arrive by floating logs, but sometimes larger animals such as mammals will manage to survive a voyage on a natural log raft and find themselves washed up on the shore of a tropical island. As a result, island biogeography is distinctive, and this played an important role in Darwin’s experience of his voyage on the Beagle in the century after Captain Cook, with the indigenous bird species of the Galapagos Islands apparently sticking in Darwin’s mind.
The Polynesian settlers brought with them cultivars and domesticated animals, especially pigs, which often resulted in geographically local mass extinctions of indigenous flora and fauna, which were then replaced with the imported cultivars and domesticates. Since the Polynesians didn’t have a written language or a calendar, they didn’t write histories, and didn’t otherwise keep records of their voyages of exploration in the Pacific, their history can only be reconstructed after the fact by the methods of scientific history. Captain Cook’s third voyage was the part of the beginning of this reconstruction of the history of the human presence in the South Pacific—a reconstruction that is continuing today. So we can understand voyages of discovery like Cook’s as part of the growth of scientific history.
Whatever may be say about the Europeans discovering lands already populated by other peoples, or the privileging of elites in history, or the characteristic forms of rationality in different human communities, the European Age of Discovery still stands alone in history, as was noted by John Roberts in The Triumph of the West:
“Arab cartography was better than that of Europe for most of the Middle Ages, and Arab sailors had known about the magnet long before it travelled further west. Yet, though some of them knew the earth was a sphere, Islamic scientists declared the exploration of the oceans to be impossible. The Ottoman fleets swept the surface of the eastern Mediterranean but did not venture into the Atlantic. As a result, centuries later, when the ports of China and India were full of European and North American shipping, no junk or dhow had ever been seen in Seville, Bristol or Boston.” (John Roberts, The Triumph of the West: The Origin, Rise, and Legacy of Western Civilization, p. 118)When I quoted this passage previously in a written post, a reader responded saying that it would be odd not to have seen Arab, if not Ottoman, ships and sailors on the Guadalquivir River in Seville—since they occupied Spain for 800 years. The point is well taken, but so is Roberts’ point: after the Reconquista, there were no more Ottoman ships in Spanish ports, and Ottomans, the Chinese, and the Indians, while engaging in regional trade, didn’t engage in the kind of exploration that characterized the voyages of Christopher Columbus, Vasco de Gama, or Ferdinand Magellan. While this calls for historical treatment, it also calls for philosophical engagement in the relevant issues at stake.
In my previous episode on Caesar crossing the Rubicon I said that historical action is the acting out of scientific experimentation. With exploration, we can take a step beyond historical action and assert that exploration and experimentation are symmetrical to each other, that is to say, each complements the other, and Captain Cook’s 3rd voyage was explicitly conceived and carried out as a voyage of exploration. As such, Cook’s exploration complemented the experimental science of his day. Experimentation is a form of the exploration of the natural world, and exploration is a form of experimentation with the natural world, so that voyages of exploration are the natural complement of the scientific revolution, and, in fact, we find that the Age of Discovery coincides with the scientific revolution, of which it was an expression.
Exploration is the acting out of scientific experimentation. In experimentation, the observer remains constant, part of the controlled conditions of the observation, while the independent variable is allowed to run its course while the dependent variable in the experiment is monitored. In exploration, the observer is immersed in the world observed, and so becomes the dependent variable responding to the independent variables encountered in exploration; Exploration is role reversal in experimentation; exploration and experimentation as two aspects of the same human impulse to discovery.
Seen in this light, Cook’s voyage and his discovery of the Hawaiian Islands is part of the unfolding of scientific reason in history, though I’m well aware that not many historians today would be likely to narrate the events in this way. However, if we do narrate the discovery of Hawaii in this way, we can see its place within a larger framework of philosophy of history. In previously episodes I’ve said that one of the central questions of philosophy of history is the role of reason in history. We find this theme appearing time and again in different contexts, just as often taking the form of a denial or even a repudiation, as it does the form of affirmation, and a definitive denial of any role for reason in history would be an important finding for philosophy of history.
A denial of the role of reason in history could be called a non-cognitivist philosophy of history. In my most recent episode on Eric Voegelin, I suggested that we could call Voegelin’s a non-cognitive philosophy of history. When I used “non-cognitive philosophy of history” in this episode I’d never run into this use of non-cognitive, but just a couple days ago I was reading Mark Day’s The Philosophy of History and I found his use of non-cognitive in the context of philosophy of history. Day wrote:
“Just as the moral non-cognitivist understands moral statements as expressing some emotion or wish, so the historical holistic non-cognitivist understands historical accounts above the level of the atomic statement as expression of some value.”So, as it turns out, the idea of historical non-cognitivism is not unknown, but the role of reason in history should be about more than whether or not history can be accessible to cognition. It’s about how history is cognized and what kind of cognition it is. All cognition is not created equal.
And here what we may call the problem of Hawaii is especially relevant. Captain Cook’s return to Hawaii the next year after the discovery of the island resulted in his death in a confrontation with the island’s population, on 14 February 1779. Clearly, relationships between the ship’s crew and the Hawaiian islanders had deteriorated since their first encounter in 1778, which was, by all accounts, peaceful, if not celebratory. This was truly a clash of civilizations. I could tendentiously call it an Enlightenment era clash of civilizations, which is telling because the Enlightenment had a hard time coming clean about violence, conflict, and warfare. And this clash of civilizations continues to be contested. Its contestation is part of the ongoing aftermath of this clash of civilizations, which could then be said to echo down through subsequent history. The relationship of Captain Cook to Hawai’i and its natives has been the occasion of a political and scholarly controversy that continues today on several levels.
Marshall Sahlins was a scholar of anthropology of the Pacific, and his book Islands of History, as well as his papers and lectures, provoked a response from Gananath Obeyesekere with his book The Apotheosis Of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking In The Pacific. Obeyesekere’s book was in turn the occasion of Sahlins’ response in the form of another book, How “Natives” Think: About Captain Cook, for Example. Sometimes the debate is summarized in terms of how the rationality of indigenous peoples is to be understood. We can also think of it as the problem of historically situated reason versus transcendent, ahistorical reason.
While we can call all of this an historical controversy, or an anthropological controversy, at bottom there are philosophical disagreements about the interpretation of history and the nature of human rationality, and therefore this is material for philosophy of history. Is human rationality the same in all human beings everywhere, or does it take different forms in different times and places? This debate between Obeyesekere and Sahlins from the 1990s needs to be placed in a larger and older context of the anthropological conception of the “primitive.” Anthropologists now hate the word “primitive.” A former friend of mine once told me that anthropologists refer to “primitive” as “the P-word,” since it now carries a great number of unwelcome associations. It wasn’t always thus.
Edward Burnett Tylor in his 1871 book Primitive Culture, and Lewis Henry Morgan in his 1877 book Ancient Society, employed a taxonomy of human societies using “savage” and “barbarian” as terms of classification with specialized meanings. This wouldn’t fly today, but as recently as 1962 the French structuralist anthropologist Levi-Strauss wrote a book on what he called “the savage mind.” The “dialogue,” such as it was, between Sahlins and Obeyesekere carries all the political connotations that have become so painfully obvious in our time. I would even call this exchange as one of the foundations of the Culture Wars. But this dialogue of the 1990s was indebted to the older dialogue on primitivism, savagery, and barbarism, which, as I said, were technical terms in their time, but which then later came to carry unwelcome connotations and so came to be studiously avoided. Obeyesekere and Sahlins were the heirs and continuators of an anthropological dialogue that includes Lévy-Bruhl and Levi-Strauss, inter alia, back through Tylor and Morgan, if not before them.
The debate should also take place within the larger context of evolutionary psychology, which contextualizes human intelligence in the evolution of the terrestrial biosphere, and, beyond that, the even larger context of astrobiology, which implies the possibility of cognitive astrobiology, which places mind in the context of life understood in its a cosmological context. The cosmological context is justified not only on theoretical grounds, because we can always expand the scope of our inquiry in the pursuit of absolute generality, it’s also justified on mythological grounds, since one of the points at issue is whether the Hawaiians believed that Captain Cook was an incarnation of their god Lono. Mythology is cosmology before the scientific revolution, so if the Hawaiians interpreted the world in mythological terms, and placed Captain Cook within their pantheon, we can take this mythology as a proto-cosmology and compare and contrast it to the proto-scientific cosmology of Cook’s expedition—and this scientific cosmology is still unfinished in our time, therefore still a proto-scientific cosmology, and therefore not yet a pure species of the genus. This clash between cosmologies becomes a debate over the nature of the rationality of eighteenth century Hawaiians and English sailors as reflected in the status of Captain Cook among the Hawaiians.
Did the Hawaiians really believe that Captain Cook was the incarnation of Lono? If they did, why did they later kill Cook? And if they didn’t, why did they ritually clean and preserve Cook’s bones, and why did four Hawaiian chiefs eat Cook’s heart as part of their ritual, before some of the bones were returned to the expedition? We can ask, “Did the Hawaiians believe in their myths?” which is a question that we’ve encountered previously in the work of Paul Venye, who had asked in the titles of one his books, Did the Greeks Believe in Their Myths? This is a problem of historically situated rationality. According to the historicist, all reason is historically situated. According to an absolutist, there is a transcendent standard of rationality that stands outside history. Obeyesekere’s pragmatic rationality, as we’ll shortly see, is a kind of absolutist rationality that stands outside history, and is equally applicable to eighteenth century Hawaiians and us today.
Whether you take the position of the historicist or the absolutist, or some position in between these two polar extremes, we don’t only encounter this in clashes of civilizations, we also are forced to deal with it within our own civilization, in the case of the relationship between Greek rationality and Greek mythology, as discussed by Paul Veyne. Historically situated reason can be situated synchronically, as in the clash of civilizations between Captain Cook and the Hawaiians, or it can be diachronically situated, as in the clash we feel between the kind of rationality we inherit from the Greeks and the apparent irrationality of Greek mythology.
Was Cook Lono to the Hawaiians or was he not? Was Zeus born in a grotto on the Island of Crete? Did the Hawai’ians or the Greeks believe in their myths? Were the Hawaiians only pretending to identify Cook as Lono, all the while grinning at each other on side and poking each other in the ribs with their elbows? There’s no way that I can summarize the exchange between Sahlins and Obeyesekere, but I want to leave you with a couple of quotes to at least give you a flavor of the debate.
Obeyesekere thought that Sahlins made fools of the Hawai’ians by arguing that they were so stupid as to believe that Captain Cook was an incarnation of Lono. He makes much of what he called practical rationality, which he believed characterized the attitudes and actions of the Hawaiians. Obeyesekere wrote:
“The Weberian idea of a pragmatic rationality has a utilitarian quality about it. I want to divest it of its utilitarian aura and expand it to include reflective decision making by a calculation or weighing of the issues involved in any problematic situation. Although practical decision making is also intrinsic to common sense, it is the reflective element that distinguishes practical rationality from common sense. Geertz perceptively shows that the famous Azande witchcraft explanations might well be ‘mystical,’ but they are also used to protect Azande commonsense assumptions regarding their world… Furthermore, Geertz recognizes that whereas there is a taken-for-granted quality (‘naturalness’) to common sense, ‘practical rationality,’ as I use it, is a much more reasoned and reflective way of thinking.”Sahlins wrote that he originally intended his response to Obeyesekere to be a pamphlet, and he had what he called a suitably 18th century title for his pamphlet, and this ultimately unused pamphlet title is a good one for what it tells us about the exchange:
“‘Natives’ versus Anthropologists; Or, How Gananath Obeyesekere Turned the Hawaiians into Bourgeois Realists on the Grounds They Were ‘Natives’ Just Like Sri Lankans, in Opposition to Anthropologists and Other Prisoners of Western Mythical Thinking.”Sahlins’ pamphlet became a book with 17 appendices, and in it he wrote:
“…the alleged divinity of Cook will seem a slander so long as one follows Obeyesekere in reducing the veridical to the objectivity of the instrumental. The appeal is not simply to our moral sense but to our common sense. Obeyesekere’s ‘practical rationality’ is a common or garden variety of the classic Western sensory epistemology: the mind as mirror of nature. As it happens, his defense of Hawaiian rational capacities—like their ability to perceive that Cook was just a man or that Britain was not in heaven—is an affected anti-ethnocentrism that ends by subsuming their lives in classic Occidental dualisms of logos and mythos, empirical reason and mental illusion.”Mark Day’s book, which I quoted earlier, also briefly mentions the Sahlins vs. Obeyesekere exchange, also quoting Paul Roth to the effect that no evidence is going to settle the dispute between the two. For Day, this means that history is underdetermined by the evidence, and the underdetermination of history leads to anti-realism in history. Day wrote:
“…if no evidence could determine which historiography is correct, then the past itself cannot determine which historiography is correct. Anything may be said with regard to x, since there is no x to constrain such talk.”Day wasn’t arguing for this view, but rather attributing it to Paul Roth, among others.
There is an unrepresented point of view in the debate between Obeyesekere and Sahlins, and that is a providential philosophy of history in which Hawaiian mythology is true, and Captain Cook actually was Lono, and that Hawaiians rightly identified him as such. If this sounds ridiculous to you—and, yes, it does sound ridiculous—then consider the case of cargo cults. The naturalistic explanation for cargo cults is the misidentification of human beings and human activities, even at their most mundane, as divine. But even today there are true believers in John Frum at Vanuatu. The cargo cult believer can appeal to the miraculous appearance of cargo, perhaps the work of ancestral spirits, and the true believer in Cook as the incarnation of Lono can point to the recognition of Cook as Lono and the adoration paid to his person both in life and in death.
If an anti-realist or non-cognitivist conception of history means that history is so underdetermined that no evidence can distinguish between mutually exclusive historiographies, then it’s also so underdetermined that it can’t exclude the possibility that Captain Cook was Lono. What evidence could possibly prove that Captain Cook wasn’t Lono? Is this the reductio ad absurdum of anti-realism? Maybe. At very least, if your theory of history has led you to the point that you can’t distinguish between mythology and rationality, then you’re probably no longer doing philosophy of history, but, then again, that is my own historically situated rationality, and it may differ from yours.

So late night talks baked with friends led to us talking about our friends cat with asthma and he was explaining the treatment and showing how its done and then he said something that made me giggle, he said that his vet has told him when his cat has a small cough from hair to phlegm to just lift her up and give her some light back pats like you would for a baby. Now im no vet but part of me calls bull on that because i dont think lung locations on cats and dogs are the same as us LOL but also think its adorable
so were wondering if this is actually something that can help cats and dogs just like it helps us i know this is stupid but thought it would be fun to see the answers we get from it, this isnt to prove anyone wrong or right just a question 6 stoners have at 5AM haha
