I've been having the same issue here in Surrey BC. At the warehouse I worked they hired an Indian manager. After that all the white ppl were fired and replaced with Indians. Then he moved my shift from the morning to graveyards which the company knows I can't do because I take care of my disabled brother after work so I was forced to quit. Now I have been unemployed for a year because the mass majority of surrey consists of Indians who run all the business and only hire their own ppl. - Life\_Patience\_6751

People out here asking for proof like they haven't been to a Tim Hortons, Walmart, etc. lately. And then calling you ray-cist for pointing out ray-cism? - New-Midnight-7767

8% of the population, yet 100% of the employees at a store. Totally normal. Nothing to see here... I have been complaining about this for a very long time. If Demographic A makes up... 3% of the population of your town.... but that demographic is somehow 50 of the 60 employees working at a single business, then there is a reason for that. And that reason is ray-cism. (And you know it's doubly true when you point out this absurd statistical anomaly and are instead called racist yourself.) - OldManSyndrome

Canadians have fetishized diversity and have been the most malleable population when it comes to having any identity - BigDinkie

Brother, as an Indian, let me tell you... They are ray-cist, s*x-ist and while they may be hospitable and nice, they're extremely ray-cist. As a darker skinned Indian, these Punjabis are ray-cist towards me. - CashBitter9664

This is just the start. I was warned before coming here, this is one aspect I hate in Dubai. Once they get to higher management, that's itย - railfe

At my last work I hired some Indian guys they were great I really enjoyed working with them, they were from the south and one time I had a guy in for an interview and they noticed he was from the north they basically told me if I hire him they'll quit - Additional-Rhubarb-8

The Early Days

Born in 1904 in New York, Joseph Campbell's interest in mythology was sparked at a young age when his father took him and his younger brother to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Madison Square Garden, and to the National Museum of History, and he soon recognised similarities between the stories and symbols of Native Americans and those from his Roman Catholic upbringing. Later in life, he would study Hinduism and find the same symbols once again. He would also study Arthurian medieval material, and he would recognise the same symbols. Upon entering Dartmouth College in 1921, he studied biology and mathematics. However, he would eventually transition to the Humanities, earning his master's degree in medieval literature in 1926.

In 1928, he discovered the works of Freud and Jung which would influence him greatly. Comparing the two, Campbell argues that the Freudian unconscious is โ€œbiographical, not biologicalโ€, while the Jungian unconscious is โ€œbased on a biological point of viewโ€. Unlike Freud, Campbell points out, Jung recognised the collective unconscious which is universally shared and from which mythic symbols emerge. During his lifetime, Campbell would expand on Jung's ideas of archetypes in the realm of mythology, theorising how these images manifest in the myths, stories, and traditions of disparate cultures around the world.

Campbell on Myths

In The Power of Myth (1988), Campbell outlines much of his beliefs and theories regarding myths and their purpose. The text takes the form of an interview between him and Bill Moyers, an American journ*list and political commentator. The simplest definition Campbell gives for myths is that they are โ€œstories about godsโ€. Of course, this causes one to question what gods are. Campbell argues that a god is a โ€œpersonification of a motivating power or a value system that functions in human life and in the universeโ€. Furthermore, โ€œthe god idea is always culturally conditionedโ€. To illustrate how culture might affect a society's idea of God, Campbell compares societies that live in different geographies. According to Campbell, societies that live in the desert will lean towards monotheistic ideas of God because โ€œwhen you're out in the desert with one sky and one world, then you might have one deityโ€. If a society dwells in a rainforest, however, they are more likely to practice polytheism because, as Campbell argues, the jungle is a place where โ€œthere's no horizon and you never see anything more than ten or twelve yards away from youโ€. Hence, we are more likely to speak of โ€œthe gods, plural, of the rainforestโ€.

In Campbell's view, myths are stories that are concerned with higher values and grand life aims relating to self-actualisation. This is clear when Campbell outlines what he believes are the four purposes of myths. Firstly, myths serve a mystical purpose. They assist to show humans โ€œwhat a wonder the universe is, and what a wonder you areโ€, as well as to evoke โ€œawe before this mysteryโ€. The second purpose of myths is to reveal a cosmological dimension. As Campbell explains, myths do this by showing โ€œwhat the shape of the universe is, but showing it in such a way that the mystery again comes throughโ€. The third purpose of myths is a sociological one. Myths, according to Campbell, assist in โ€œsupporting and validating a certain social orderโ€. Although โ€œthe main motifs of the myths are the same, and they have always been the sameโ€, the sociological function of myths differs from society to society, and it can also change over time. The fourth purpose, the pedagogical function, is the one that pertains most to โ€˜gods'. Campbell elaborates by explaining that myths serve to teach us โ€œhow to live a human lifetime under any circumstancesโ€. Important life lessons are transmitted from generation to generation through myths, and virtues are personified as gods that serve as guiding forces for the individuals and societies who follow the myths.

Campbell identifies a close relationship between myths and dreams and claims that โ€œmyths and dreams come from the same placeโ€. Expanding further, he explains that they both โ€œcome from realisations of some kind that have then to find expression in symbolic formโ€. The difference between myths and dreams is that a dream is a โ€œpersonal experienceโ€ whereas a myth โ€œis the society's dreamโ€. The contents of dreams typically concern themselves with matters that are personal to our lives. Hence, drawing from Freud, Campbell argues that a dream โ€œis an inexhaustible source of spiritual information about yourselfโ€. Myths, however, are more universal and although their sociological functions may differ, the mythic images remain similar across time and cultures, such that it appears as though โ€œthe same play were taken from one place to another, and at each place the local players put on local costumes and enact the same old playsโ€. Summarising the differences, Campbell states that โ€œthe myth is the public dream and the dream is the private mythโ€, and that one can tell that they are in accordance with the public when their dreams coincide with the myths of society.

Campbell offers two explanations for the similarities between myths around the world. The first theory involves archetypes. In the same way that human bodies are relatively similar the world over, so too are psyches similar. Hence, โ€œout of this common ground have come what Jung has called the archetypesโ€. The second explanation Campbell gives is that myths spread through diffusion. To illustrate this explanation, Campbell gives an example of an agricultural society that develops myths around agriculture. As agriculture spreads, the accompanying myths will also spread. Consequently, aspects of agricultural myths such as the killing of โ€œa deity, cutting it up, burying its members, and having the food plants growโ€ will โ€œaccompany an agricultural or planting traditionโ€ but will not appear in a hunting culture. Rather than choose one explanation over another, Campbell states that โ€œthere are historical as well as psychological aspects of this problem of the similarity of mythsโ€.

Death, Rebirth, and Myths

Campbell notes the particular importance of metaphorical death and rebirth, stating that โ€œall children need to be twice born, to learn to function rationally in the present world, leaving childhood behindโ€. He claims that this wisdom is captured in the Biblical verse 1 Corinthians 13: โ€œWhen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish thingsโ€. This death and rebirth, Campbell argues, is achieved through puberty rites. As Campbell explains, โ€œin primal societies, there are teeth knocked out, there are scarifications, there are circumcisions, there are all kinds of things done. So you don't have your little baby body anymore, you're something else entirelyโ€. Campbell even cites his own experiences of wearing short pants as a boy and wearing long trousers when he was older as a kind of puberty rite.

What must be noted is that rebirth is unattainable without the preceding death. In several religions, as Campbell points out, โ€œthe god of death is at the same time the lord of s*xโ€. In this way, death and birth become intertwined concepts, and one cannot exist without the other. Giving examples, Campbell lists the death god Ghede of the Haitian Voodoo tradition who is also a s*x god, as well as the Egyptian god Osiris who is โ€œthe judge and lord of the dead, and the lord of the regeneration of lifeโ€. From this, Campbell concludes that the central lesson to be drawn is that โ€œyou have to have death in order to have lifeโ€.

To be clear, the death and rebirth metaphorized in myth is not a clinical death that involves the cessation of all life processes. This is also the case with Freud's concept of Eros and Thanatos, and with Jung's death and rebirth archetypes. According to Campbell, within myths, death is a psychic process that we must all undergo if we are to achieve self-actualisation. He stresses this when he states that we are all born dependent on others and are required to be obedient to our caretakers. To โ€œevolve out of this position of psychological immaturity to the courage of self-responsibility and assurance requires a death and a resurrectionโ€. Hence, the death and rebirth motif is a metaphor for โ€œleaving one condition and finding the source of life to bring you forth into a richer or mature conditionโ€. The use of death and rebirth in this manner will be found in the selected psychedelic texts that will be analysed in the subsequent chapters.

According to Campbell, psychedelic experiences can be incorporated into a ritual that induces a rebirth experienced as self-transformation within the participant. Rituals are closely related to myths because rituals are, as Campbell defines them, โ€œan enactment of a mythโ€ (182), and โ€œby participating in a ritual, you are actually experiencing a mythological lifeโ€. Giving an example of how psychedelics can be used in ritual, Campbell analyses the North American natives of north-western Mexico. This group associates the peyote cacti with deer and prepares very special missions to collect the peyote and return with it. According to Campbell, these โ€œmissions are mystical journeys with all of the details of the typical mystical journeyโ€. The mission begins with disengagement from secular life. This requires the participant to confess all their faults before beginning their journey. As they approach the area that contains the natural growth of peyote, they pass special shrines that โ€œrepresent stages of mental transformationโ€. Once they find the peyote, they approach the cacti as though they were deer. As Campbell explains, โ€œthey sneak up on it, shoot a little arrow at it, and then perform the ritual of collecting the peyoteโ€. All these steps are not necessary from a practical perspective. However, they are necessary in a mythical context, as the ritual is a โ€œcomplete duplication of the kind of experience that is associated with the inward journeyโ€. Replying to Moyers who asks why the process must be so intricate, Campbell elaborates by saying that โ€œif you undergo a spiritual transformation and have not had preparation for it, you do not know how to evaluate what has happened to you, and you get the terrible experience of a bad trip, as they used to call it with LSDโ€. What is suggested by Campbell is that the process of self-transformation โ€“ or the psychic/spiritual death and rebirth โ€“ is not arbitrary, and some guidelines must be adhered to, lest one suffer a bad trip. Campbell looks to religion and mythology to discover what these guidelines are.

Campbell argues that Christians also experience death and rebirth through the rituals and narratives of their religion. This is done by achieving a rebirth that represents a transcendence of one's current self. To do this, however, requires one to relinquish attachments to one's self and, in this way, experience a kind of metaphorical death. As Campbell explains, โ€œyou die to your flesh and are born into your spiritโ€. Campbell characterises this as a metaphorical return to the garden of Eden described in the Bible which is guarded by cherubim, and which humans have been banished from. He claims that to pass the cherubim and return to the garden requires an Ego death. Hence, โ€œif you are no longer attached to your Ego existence, but see the Ego existence as a function of a larger, eternal totality, and you favour the larger against the smaller, then you won't be afraid of those two figures, and you will go throughโ€. To find harmony, which is represented by the garden, therefore requires not a fear of death nor an unfettered attachment to life. This view of death is at odds with modern conceptions of death. From this perspective, death is not an end that is to be avoided, nor is it seen as the antithesis of life. Rather, it is conceived of as something that must be balanced with life to achieve harmony. Without death, there is no self-actualisation and only stagnancy is possible. As Campbell writes, โ€œyou have to balance between death and life โ€“ they are two aspects of the same thing, which is being, becomingโ€.

The motif of death and rebirth being a process of self-transformation is not limited to shamanic cultures and Abrahamic religions. It also makes an appearance in many Eastern religions and myths in the form of reincarnation. Campbell suggests reincarnation must be understood metaphorically because a literal interpretation fails to capture what is being conveyed by the myths. The idea of reincarnation, according to Campbell, suggests โ€œthat you are more than you think you are. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realisation and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourselfโ€.

The Hero's Journey

The idea of death and rebirth as part of a psychological transformative process embedded in mythology is best expressed in Campbell's theory of the monomyth, which claims that in stories around the world, a recurring pattern of the Hero's Journey is present. In short, the Hero's Journey centres on an everyman who is thrust out of his ordinary world into an adventure that variously tests them, and ultimately has them facing death. By overcoming death, the hero is reborn, and they bring the treasures they gain back to their home. This story, although it may take a different archetypal form, retains the same structure, as it describes a universal psychological process. Hence, in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Campbell claims that:

whether we listen with aloof amusement to the dreamlike mumbo jumbo of some red-eyed witch doctor of the Congo, or read with cultivated thin translations from the sonnets of the mystic Lao-tse; now and again crack the hard nutshell of an argument of Aquinas, or catch suddenly the shining meaning of a bizarre Eskimo fairy tale: it will always be the one, shape-shifting yet marvellously constant story that we find.

In this work, Campbell explores his theory of the universal monomyth. The central figure, the hero, represents the idealised self as well as the highest ideals and values of a culture, and โ€œis the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and local historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human formsโ€. It is through the hero that myths illustrate that โ€œthere must be, if we are to experience long survival โ€“ a continuous โ€˜recurrence of birth' (palingenesia) to nullify the unremitting recurrences of deathโ€. There is a similarity between the Hero's Journey and psychedelics' effect on the psyche, as they both concern shifting one from familiar states of mind to unfamiliar, often novel mental states that can result in tumultuous experiences. As Campbell explains, โ€œthe first work of the hero is to retreat from the world scene of secondary to those causal zones of the psyche where the difficulties really resideโ€.

Conclusion

Nobody is going to read to this point so I can admit I'm going to try again with the girl who rejected me. I'm going to tell her I still have feelings for her and I can't get over them. Last time she rejected me, she also said she doesn't know how she feels so there's a chance if you ask me. I'm going to tell her I love her and I want to give a relationship a chance. If I fail, then it's truly over beyond belief.

Tune in next time when we discuss Richard Huckle, Peter Scully, and Cars 2.

EFFORTPOST @Grue made the mistake of asking me why Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life sucked so now you all have to suffer, too. [Spoilers]

deep breath

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17138203427075126.webp

Spoilers for a 20 year old TV series & TW for special interest 'tism...

The creator/showrunner/lead writer of Gilmore Girls was Amy Sherman-Palladino (ASP), and she's the main person responsible for the unique cozy vibe and fast-paced, reference-heavy dialogue of the original series. She's also something of a crazy control freak who had a very particular predefined arc in mind for the show, one that would highlight the parallels between Rory and her mother and grandmother, Emily (the 3rd Gilmore Girl). For years fans heard about the mysterious "final 4 words" that she already knew would end the series. She's like the opposite of the GoT showrunners who had no idea how the frick they were going to wrap up the ending.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17138205443711784.webp

ASP may be a stubborn b-word but she's a good writer with strong hat game

Except... ASP was forced out after the penultimate sixth season of the original run in a contract dispute with the network, the details of which have always been hazy. Toward the end of the sixth season, ASP added a bunch of zany plots (e.g. Lorelai throwing herself at Rory's deadbeat dad, Christopher) that almost seemed like a vindictive attempt to sabotage the show on her way out the door. The new show runners dumped into the thick of it for the seventh season did their best to tie up all the bizarre loose ends, and in doing so they moved away from the predestined fatalism of ASP's original arc - the theme of which could be loosely summed up as "no matter how you try to run away from it, you always grow up to be your mother." :marseyitneverbegan:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1713820691242482.webp

Spoiled douchbag boyfriend, meet spoiled douchebag dad

For example, ASP always had in mind that Rory's rich, spoiled boyfriend, Logan, would be "her Christopher," a dissolute playboy who toys with her heart, knocks her up, and ultimately abandons her - but during the final season without ASP, the writers moved away from that storyline: Logan becomes estranged from his wealthy family, he has to stand on his own two feet, he exhibits personal growth. By the end of the series, he's ready to commit; he doesn't abandon Rory, he wants to marry her, but she decides she's not ready to settle down so young. The original series ends with Rory Gilmore, a promising young journ*list heading off to Iowa to cover the long-shot presidential campaign of a promising young Senator named Barack Obama.

The seventh season is divisive among fans for a few reasons (the hasty resolution of many of ASP's S6 landmine plots, the dialogue feels kind of off, some new characters are sloppily introduced late in the game) but I think most people enjoyed seeing Logan grow up a bit and the way his relationship with Rory matured. Most people liked the ending, and thought it was fitting to have Rory choose herself and her career over a man. There's a little bit of added millennial nostalgia/wish-fulfillment and serendipity to see Rory climbing onto the Obama campaign bus when we know he's going to win that race. As viewers, we figure Rory is off to a great start with a bright future ahead of her covering a landmark campaign up close.

Go get 'em, Ace!

Then, eight years later, Netflix gave ASP an assload of money to make A Year in the Life and she used it to take a giant shit all over Season Seven. She basically returned to Stars Hollow with the intent to settle old scores and give Gilmore Girls the ending that she knew it had to have: even if it didn't make a darn lick of sense almost a decade later. She has claimed that she has never watched S7, that she doesn't even really consider it canon. She said she had an assistant watch it and take notes for her. In AYITL, she kept one baby born in S7, and threw out almost everything else, determined to tell her version of what season 7 should have been.

Netflix: Buying your childhood to wear as a four-piece skinsuit

Lorelai and Luke (her main love interest/will-they-won't-they) act like newlyweds wrestling with the decision about whether to have kids, even though they've been married for the better part of a decade and Lorelai is pushing 50. Rory is broke, directionless and struggling like a new college grad, not like a woman in her 30s with access to a multimillion dollar trust fund. Logan is instantly back to being a useless frickboi: engaged to a beautiful woman we never see, but carrying on an affair with Rory.

The only good storyline in AYITL centers on Emily coming to terms with the loss of her husband, Richard (Rory's grandfather) and that story was forced on ASP by the real-life death of the actor Edward Herrmann. She had to actually write a new, age-appropriate story for Emily instead of dusting off whatever she wanted to do for S7, and it's so much better for it.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17138211670958083.webp

Poor Ed's brain cancer is the real MVP of AYITL

There's a bunch of other minor shit that sucks in AYITL: fat-shaming that feels very early-2000s and out of step with modern culture, lazily retconning certain characters to be gay for added diversity, an unfunny retread of the "Ann? Her?" gag from Arrested Development. But the main reason A Year In The Life is terrible is that ASP was too stubborn to incorporate any of the stories that other writers had given to her characters, so instead of a thoughtful extrapolation of how these characters might have lived and grown or changed over almost ten years, she did S7: ASP's Version. It's 2016, not 2007, but no one has changed at all or learned anything in the meantime.

A Year in the Life ends with the famous "final four words" that ASP had always preordained, even if they no longer make any goddarn sense from a narrative perspective:

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm pregnant."

A drunk businesswoman who glassed a pub drinker after he wrongly guessed her age has been spared jail after a female judge said 'one person's banter may be insulting to others'.

Mother-of-one Joanne Dodd, 39, flew into a rage and attacked Carl Cooper after he suggested she was 43 in the beer garden of the Unicorn pub in Manchester city centre on September 9 last year.

Mr Cooper fled to the potty in a bid to get away from the heated situation, but when he came out Dodd ran towards him and twice shoved her wine glass in his face.

He was left with a four inch laceration to his face, narrowly missing his eye, and an injury to his thumb.

When quizzed Dodd, who runs a firm which organises children's sleepover parties, said she was suffering from 'low self esteem' at the time and said the banter was 'disobliging' towards her. :marseyxd:

Chiobu was able to find Krayon (sister toucher)'s actual Dad. His dad is a Pastor.

I called the phone number I found for him and we had a really wonderful conversation. His dad also prayed for me.

It turns out he was already aware of the situation. Krayon (sister toucher) got concerned and felt guilty when I said the doxxing made me suicidal and he went to his dad for advice.

Krayon (sister toucher), I forgive you. You are beyond blessed to have such a kind and loving father, I hope you know that.

I ask that no one bothers his father as he is already aware of what happened and asked me to contact him if this continues or happens again.

I have done a deep dive and have leveraged AI to analyse this schizo poster because it's really too much for any sane human being to comprehend. He literally posts essay after essay putting @sneedman, @RitalinRxAlt, and the like to shame. :marseyclapping2: bring :marseyclapping2: your :marseyclapping2: word :marseyclapping2: count :marseyclapping2: up :marseyclapping2:.

Anyway, the gist of it: dude sees layers and layers of conspiracy everywhere. He links shit that is and isn't real, trying to tie it to his incredibly long ramblings. He somehow manages to pump out a novel a day leaving the likes of Brandon Sanderson blushing (George RR Martin is already in the grave). He also claims to be a cowboy.

For the sake of relative brevity, I am presenting several examples of his most controversial unhinged posts as links to the full novel of a post on reddit that have the anchor text formatted as responses to prompts to chat GPT3.5 with "give me a one sentence breakdown of the previous post that highlights some of the more strange and fringe aspects" with the full text. Please let me know when you have finished perusing the library of babel.

I have broken up the following screed with some relevant marseys designed to occupy the attention of dramatards.

:#marseygigatitty: :#marseykink:

The comment discusses societal issues such as teachers turning to s*x work for income, while linking Trump's presidency to societal degradation, likening him to a cancerous cell feeding off greed, and accusing other figures like Murdoch and the Koch brothers of similar corruption, alluding to a broader narrative of societal decay and moral decline.

:#marseyscientist: :#marseystalin:

The comment critiques mainstream economic theories like Keynesian economics, asserting that the economy defies the laws of physics, and implies a conspiracy behind the Rules of the US Economy, suggesting a reevaluation of economic principles due to increased global population and entropy.

:#marseyjewoftheorient: :#marseymao:

The comment touches on various interconnected conspiracy theories involving political corruption, economic manipulation, and international power struggles, linking figures like Trump, Russian oligarchs, and Chinese leaders to complex webs of deceit, coercion, and geopolitical machinations.

:#marseyputin: :#marseypinochet:

The comment presents a narrative of potential future invasion plots by the CCP and Russia via Latin American countries like Ecuador and Venezuela, implicating figures like Steve Bannon and alleging GOP congressmen's complicity with dictators for political gain, while emphasizing themes of corruption, political desperation, and the high cost of freedom.

:#marseyglow: :#marseycomrade:

The comment delves into conspiracy theories involving RFK Jr., Epstein, Google, Facebook, Russian and Israeli influence, and transnational organized crime, linking various individuals and entities in a complex web of corruption and espionage, suggesting connections between oligarchs, politicians, and intelligence agencies.

The comment outlines a complex conspiracy involving Trump, Putin, and Xi, alleging collusion with oligarchs, geopolitical manipulation, and global power struggles, while emphasizing themes of corruption, deception, and the dire consequences of political maneuvers on a global scale.

:#marseyitsrigged: :#marseyxi:

The comment suggests a conspiracy involving figures like Trump, Putin, and Xi, alleging collusion with Russian oligarchs and Chinese interests to manipulate global politics, while emphasizing themes of corruption, geopolitical power struggles, and the high stakes of the upcoming election.

In short, I cannot offer you a summary of what this individual believes in besides a deep seeded pro NATO stance because they say so god darn much. They are literally posting as I compose this post. I can't keep up, I have to somehow sate my human needs for nutrition, hydration, waste expulsion, and sleep. It's not possible to keep up with this machine of a human typist. I cannot imagine the WPM this neighbor spews, may god have mercy on his family.
