TNG was what got me into sci-fi in the first place as a kid.
It's a good show and glad you enjoyed it.

Dianna Troi was a mistake. Empaths were a mistake. I fucking hated every second that bitch was on the screen. Riker was also a shit character. Other than that it was quite good and enjoyable. I wish they would have done Star Trek Captain Worf. I always liked Worf. The stuff they did later in the series really fleshed out his character and I would have liked to see him as the lead. What we got after that was just disappointing. Janeway wasn't terrible, but just not very interesting as was the show itself. It was like TNG just watered down. Then Enterprise was just shit. I didn't get very far with that one. Couldn't force myself through it.

I never liked Deep space 9 but I did enjoy TNG and Voyager.

Part of the appeal of Star Trek to me is the exploration and adventure.
Sitting on a space station most of the time just didn't do it for me.

I'm currently watching Star Trek the original series after almost a year without touching any Trek at all. I needed the abstinence to enjoy this stuff again. Just finished watching Shore Leave from the first season. It's a decent episode, a rather quaint idea but way too padded out. I won't be commenting every single episode here, but will try to make a post summarizing my thoughts on each season.

After Reading Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods, I wonder if it’s possible the existence of an ancient and lost civilization like those books described. I know a couple of books who give more evidence of that. 2 books written by the Spanish investigator Javier Sierra, called: En busca de la edad de oro and La Ruta Prohibida, if you want to read them. But, the only book I know who gives a serious proof of that is Hamlet’s Mill. That makes me think if the civilization is cyclical and the event that erase a possible civilization could happen again to us. Just think about it.

>In Venezuela there are many legends about spirits that haunt the roads, beings taken from our nightmares. Here in Venezuela, hearing about spirits, the dead and ghosts is a very important event. Children sit and pay close attention to the stories told by their parents, grandparents and other relatives. Many times, even the neighbor comes and tells you about the time he was in his house and things were moved or he saw someone who was never really there.

>In Cedeño, a small town on the road to Cumanacoa, Sucre State, Venezuela, it is perfectly normal to talk about Los Encantados


>The people of that town assure that they are beings in human form, usually very beautiful, with white skin and colored hair and eyes that reflect the skies and the water of the river. When the enchanted ones arrive to the rivers, deep pools are created, in which the water is fresh and crystalline and the entrance to their world is under the big rocks that many times hide subway caves that are portals, they have their own societies and take care of nature.


>But, don't be fooled. Los Encantados, they are not good… But they are not bad either. They protect what is theirs, nature. They can drown those who threaten it, as well as if they see a being with a pure soul they can take it to their world and no one knows why and for what. Sometimes people simply disappear while bathing in the river and they say they drowned, but they never find their body. It is the haunted ones who take them away. There have been times when the supposed drowned come back years later and talk about the enchanted ones and their thrones with snakes and cities out of fairy tales. I know of one case of someone who came back for a day. In those strange cases, they come, they tell their relatives that they have lived in that other world, in the enchanted world, and then you see them going into the river, never to return.

>While redcaps may be an innocent-sounding name for a mythical creature, this couldn’t be further from the truth. These malignant faeries of Scottish folklore aren’t creatures you’d want to come across while exploring the hidden grottos and glens of Scotland. Luckily, if you’re not planning to visit one of Scotland’s ruined castles, you’ll probably avoid these little villains.

>But what is a redcap exactly? Well, that’s exactly what this article aims to inform you about. We’ll cover everything you need to know about redcaps, from their characteristics, stories involving redcaps, and where you can find them today.


>A redcap is a type of malevolent, murderous spirit or faerie that originates from the Scottish Borders. They’re also sometimes called Redcombs or Bloody Cap (you’ll understand why in a bit). According to Border folklore, redcaps would kill regularly, using their fingers armed with talons and long prominent teeth


>A redcap mythical creature typically has a shorter stature with a thickset frame and eyes of a fiery red colour. They usually have very elvish or gnomish features, along with prominent teeth, skinny fingers, and grisly hair streaming from their head. The most iconic descriptor to instantly recognise a redcap is its large red caps (who would’ve guessed!).


>As the legend goes, these caps are soaked with their victim’s blood, giving it an eerie crimson hue. Sometimes, redcaps are also equipped with weaponry and armour, such as their iron-shod boots. Several stories describe their skinny fingers armed with heavy iron pikes or spears.

>Philip Schneider, was murdered.
>This footage is just before his dead.
>Philip Schneider was one of three people to survive the 1979 fire fight between the large Greys , US intelligence and military at the Dulce underground base.was found dead January 1996, due to what appears to be an execution style murder. He was found dead in his apartment with a piano wire wrapped around his neck.

>According to sources, it appeared that he repeatedly suffered torture before he was finally killed. Seven months prior to his death , Schneider did a lecture on the forces he had discovered at Dulce.

This brave man's final acts should not go unnoticed……………………..
A joint alien/U.S. military underground base exists, perhaps devoted to genetics. The theories regarding Dulce sometimes state that alien technology was traded for permission to engage in human and animal mutilations.

>A battle was said to have taken place there between aliens and humans, though the time of this alleged encounter varies from the 1970s to the 1980s. Some sources allege that horrific genetic experiments are conducted in lower levels of the facility (usually level 6 or 7, depending on the source); these levels are sometimes referred to as "Nightmare Hall."


>According to the legend, Project Aquarius (1966) was a plan for investigation of UFOs, carried out and funded by the CIA. Bishop (Bishop, 2005) notes that Bennewitz is the earliest source for the Project Aquarius tale. This project was slated to begin after December 1969 when Project Grudge and Project Blue Book were closed. In 1969, the base was built northwest of Dulce in joint agreement between CIA and aliens from space.


>The base is allegedly located on the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. The entrance is on Mount Archuleta (or Archuleta Mesa). The base gets water and electricity from the Navajo River, and dumps waste water back into the same river. The U.S. government occupies the upper levels of the underground base, while the aliens control the lower levels.

Love walking in the woods. Sometimes I go for an hour, sometimes less. Luckily I live rurally so I usually don't encounter a single other person on my trips. I have some busted up hiking boots that I need to replace once I have money, I'd like to get some minimal trail shoes. I had some Nikes a long time ago where you could feel the little stones and shape of the terrain as you walked, I want that again. I usually don't take pics unless I remember to bring my old digicam.

I have been walking 3 hours everyday since October since I'm currently a NEET it is the best way for me distract myself and when I get home I normally take a nice hot shower lay in bed and nap for 2 hours.

Honestly I have seen a good different on my physical performance and body but the best to come out of this is really just not being so angry at the world so often. I love walking

This thread is for hobbies that misuse oppressive infrastructure for fun. This includes skateboarding, climbing stuff, exploring, parkour, graffiti, train hopping and street skiing, but it's not limited to these. The point is freedom, which goes hand in hand with creativity. This stuff is often dangerous or illegal, even worse it can draw attention, but for us with the souls of cats and raccoons it's the only way to live.

 No.68786

I thought it would be nice to have this thread here to collect the crossover between raccoons and the extremely introverted to share tips, stories, musings, whatever. Personally I only go out after dark, and my impulse for freedom is always fighting the fear of being watched and talked to. I especially wouldn't know what to say to a cop, the one time I've had trouble from one I nearly talked him into arresting me.

>This story is a compilation of the series published in the old Skorpio magazine. Here the duo tells the adventures of the poet Percival, Oberon -king of the fairies- and a so-called king of the foxes, lost in a labyrinth that unites all possible universes, real and fictitious. The structure of an infinite labyrinth is used by the duo to take their characters from one tribute to another to the artists who formed the authors. There are allusions to Cervantes, Shakespeare, Fellini, Pink Floyd, Spinetta, Jethro Tull and Rimbaud, among many others. Despite the constant homage, the series stands out for its finely tuned sense of comic storytelling. The image is exceptional in its quality, but also in its sequential editing.

There is some hidden reason why Joker 2 exists other than to screw the audience of the first movie. Why did the director have to fuck up what he had done with joker 1. How could this guy be such an asshole to say he was forced to accept 20 million to direct it. He could have said no and left it to a better director.

I now consider researching conspiracy theories to be a hobby of mine. Of course, as a hikki, this information is of literally no use to me whatsoever, and I do not have the charisma to "educate" others. It is simply a pastime.
Many people act like simply researching these very alternative ideas is damaging in and of itself. Popular on wizchan youtuber named "K9 Aversion" recently announced she will no longer be creating content simply because people among her fanbase were discussing 5G towers and anti-vaxx ideas within her communities. Discussion alone is so offensive? Why? I do not even believe many of the ideas proposed myself and just enjoy thinking about them.
Because of these extreme reactions, I feel it necessary to give this disclaimer. Again, I do not necessarily believe the things proposed in this thread but rather enjoy thinking about it.

Please do not discuss theories that are political in nature in this thread. I don't want it to be deleted, although I find them interesting as well.

Some examples I've been thinking about lately:
- Alien abductions are real, however they differ from the normalfag idea of an alien abduction in that real abductions occur spiritually and not physically. And these abductions are NEVER to your benefit and you leave very unhealthy and emotionally damaged. They happen during the sleep normally, however sometimes they can happen while awake and when this happens it's similar to a date rape drug– you have a 2-5 hour blank spot in your memory when you "wake up" and have a feeling of general unease.

- The extension of the flat earth theory which claims the entire sky is a hologram, and sometimes that no planets except Earth exist. There are many youtube videos that document sky hologram "glitches".
- Alternatively (not flat earth related), that the sky is itself a giant living organism and that it sometimes sends shards of itself down to attack or observe people (they look like blue blankets and fly at great speeds.)

- You can fall through the ground like a video game glitch and get stuck in an infinite void on certain parts of the planet.

- Dinosaurs existed up until the early 1900's as evidenced by dinosaur tracks on the top layer of the earth that are way too well preserved to be from 60,000,000 years ago.

- Some gnostic wizards think that if they become spiritually elevated enough that they can cease ingesting food of any kind and live heaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Since I've had the internet, I've seen stories about giants around the world and no matter where in the world they are, they always look like this. Exactly human, except for the height and only having 4 fingers and toes.

I remember hearing about the testimony of a Smithsonian employee, who, on his deathbed, confessed to the cover-up and destruction of anything to do with giants and anything that did not fit into the historical and evolutionary narrative.

I wonder why. What's wrong with knowing that the history of the world is much more than what a mercenary scientist who sells himself to the highest bidder tells you?

>They were created by the Gods in the Age of the Fourth Sun: that of Atltonatiuh (Sun of Water).


>The Ríos Codex or Vatican Codex A, which focuses on the Toltec-Chichimeca people, shows the Aztecs battling and capturing one of these giants.
