Hallucinogens for the fun or for the experience?

You mean things that are entirely beyond your capability to influence?
Only if you're content with greater suffering.

Is it truly intellectually dishonest if someone does not define bigotry as showing a bigoted message to people, but rather they define it as actually believing in that message?
Yes, it truly is intellectually dishonest to redefine terms in one's favor to suit an argument.
I see where you're coming from with your answers to my other questions but this I absolutely cannot agree with. Bigotry is not an inherent phenomenon, it is subjective in nature and is defined according to the perspective of those that conceive it. We have generally defined it as we do with everything else for the sake of clarity and convenience in our society, but the nuance of bigotry is still subject to our own individual interpretations. I do not believe that someone who defines bigotry as requiring an actual belief in bigoted ideology to be interpreting that nuance outside of the bounds of reason and thus I don't think it's intellectually dishonest to judge an act according to that individual interpretation.
On one hand you identify bigotry as subjective to the offended party but on the other you state bigotry requires an actual belief.
No I personally think that one can act bigoted without believing in bigoted ideology. I didn't say that bigotry inherently required a belief in bigoted ideology. What I'm saying is that defining bigotry as such is reasonable enough and that it is not intellectually dishonest to judge an act someone has committed based on that because there is no absolute inherent meaning in the concept of bigotry. My personal view of the situation is that the joke was a bigoted joke, but that shock humor should absolutely be allowed as I am an advocate of free speech, and that people should not conflate shock humor as evidence for an actual belief in bigoted ideology. There is noting wrong with criticizing his insensitivity to those that might be offended by his shock humor, but one should not try to paint a false narrative about who Felix is and what he really believes in as that is truly intellectually dishonest.

My intrinsic ballistic multisyllabic rhymes are imperialistic to time, capturing the essence of design. .
They're divine or insane are my visions from the brain containing the transcendental planes from whence the the earth was not the same.
Then come psychedelic divisions and incisions into these visions of raps undergoing nuclear fission
where my rhymes produce zero-point energies that create depolarization induced suppression of inhibition of my sinister lyrical intermission of the fission.
Or fusion, where light escapes the primordial soup at terminal velocities, sparking life to withstand the atrocities
Anatomically diverting energy of the mind unto time where cats kill for a dime or a sign flashed.
Releasing a blast of poetical dashes faster than twisters with multiple vortices, consequentially.
I'm extraordinary, favored like the preferiti, I'm architecturally erecting artistic flow like Michelangelo.
Like Marco Polo, I've traveled across the land, through desert sands, there and back again and as you stand among this grand invention.
You will swear it was divine intervention that started your ascension through these lyrical dimensions.

PDP isn't a hateful sexist racist fascist bigot
Legitimately asking if you believe propagating the message "kill all Jews" is not an act of bigotry simply because it was meant to somehow be a joke, because it seems that those defending PDP would be more intellectually honest if they just admitted that something can be bigoted and in poor taste, but also an attempt at humor.
Is an act of bigotry defined by the propagation of a bigoted message or is it defined by the belief in that message? And in regards to that 'propagation', Is Felix somehow promoting the message, "kill all Jews," if he does not believe in it? Is it truly intellectually dishonest if someone does not define bigotry as showing a bigoted message to people, but rather they define it as actually believing in that message?

I'm not sure you can ever give these morality knights a real wake-up call. A person that runs on emotion will, more often than not, reject logic when it does not satisfy that emotion.
They're going to have to actually want to see the truth before they will be able to see the truth.

Agreeing mostly with atheistic existentialism in regards to those questions, although I am really a non-dualist.

if thats digital most software should let you draw and select a region then you can move it around or scale it like i did with the eye
Yes I've been doing that a lot, even before you suggested it. I try to match the angle of the eyes with the angle of the mouth to some extent.

Why ask for a ban? Never understood that.
maybe he considers the site a distraction from whatever's going on
Just sign out and don't get on? Someone must have low willpower to need a ban.

So people with special interests are using money to manipulate both sides of politics. . Who would've guessed?
Two sides of the same coin.

How much time do you spend a day working on all of this? More photoshop. Still can't find any way to paint hair that satisfies me. I've got a long way to go with digital work. Beating myself up for not starting sooner.

They irritate me to no end, and I assume it´s just another video to get people excited about and to collect more view revenue or something. Unless youtubers don´t get paid by views, then I don´t know
They are paid based on the number of clicks on an ad displayed in their video.

I can't think of anything good that's happened to me lately, except maybe getting 3/4ths a kilo of kratom in the mail.

Really sucks. One of our dogs had an accident last month with my sister's ex's dog. His jaw got tangled in the other dogs collar when no one was home and it ended up strangling her to death. Crazy shit. His tongue had major nerve damage and they had to remove half of it. Now he drools everywhere. =/

You're getting pretty good at composition, Boss. More photoshop practice. No idea how to start hair. . I guess a base color would be a good first step.

I feel like these types of mentalities are driven by emotion ergo they do not attempt to rationalize their beliefs and understand the consequences of them.
