Being in this hobby you study a lot about your local history, you learn to tell fact from fiction, you learn about the good and the bad. Does anyone else ever feel good or bad about their ancestors actions?

I had a great great grandfather who was in a moonshine gang who was involved in a shootout with federal officers and one of them was killed. Reading the newspapers and being related to the gang side of it is interesting to me. The marshal who was killed had his great great grandson involved in a ceremony a few years ago in honor of the marshal. I thought about contacting him but never felt right about it. Even if it wasn’t my great great grandfather who pulled that trigger he was still there, he was still involved.

I’ve got a great uncle who was hanged for his crimes and a legend in our area.

I’ve got a 5th great grandmother who lived to a 101 and have countless stories told about who she really was and how she created the largest family in my area.

From the good to the bad I never knew these people I couldn’t stop them from their bad or help their good but they’re related to me. I know them through what they left behind.

Ah I remember these days when I was a kid and believed creepy pastas and SCPs were real

Now I mod a SCP community how the times have changed

To be fair to them there was a reason for the whole destruction of the human race thing. If anyone hasn’t read this one yet it’s a great read

 

In SCP cannon there are many many GOIs and other groups other than the foundation

From The Foundation focused on containment and study

The GOC’s goal of termination

MCD which seek or profit

The serpent’s hand who wants to spread the truth to the masses

And the Chaos Insurgency focused on their own power

While some are a overall better some groups have good and bads to them

Who do you think has the best plan for humanity and the world at large?

I’ve wanted to tackle this issue myself.

The main point of SCP is there isn’t one single cannon. Is there a main one? Sure the foundation exists and they lock stuff up and study it. But it varies from writer to writer and article.

The site puts it best

“The idea that there is no canon is a bit silly at times. It's not that we don't have any — It's that we have a multitude which touch, cross, and dip into each other. It's up to you, as the reader, to decide what you believe and what you embrace as the heart of the universe.

That doesn't mean, though, that authors lack intent or design, and collaboration is the heart of innovation.”

This is a fun one for SCP YouTubers to cover

The Volgun went for a children’s story

years ago I went with Morse code for my covering of it

There Is No Antimemetics Division - Ep 1 - : SCP Horror Short Series is a good series which adapts a number of stories about Memetics and Antimemes

And from the Broken Masquerade Hub I like PSA: Cognitohazards and You!

Dr. Wondertainment‘s creations are interesting to say the least.

One can only wonder what man, women, group, or entity runs the organization.

 

I have a community and there’s 3 of us. What’s a good way for us all to communicate. Discord and matrix are lesser preferred options. Is there any options native to Lemmy for mods to communicate in a group chat style?

 

Inspired by my reaction to finding out a newspaper clipping I was looking for months was sitting on a fellow family genealogist’s Facebook page for over a year

That’s the fun of SCP there’s so many of them you’ve got plenty of options to pick a favorite

 

While most people know Angels as

something like this or maybe even one of these

but be not afraid as there are many more where these come from in fact.

This article explores these types. There are of course many interpretations of Angels and beliefs about them. One of these beliefs are the Hierarchy of angels. Or the idea that they are ordered by a rank and here is more about that.

 

Hello all

A thing that interest me Christianity is not only the Biblical and religious aspects but the historical accepts. The art created about these figures, the centuries old bibles found hidden away for who knows how long, the grand buildings and the years it took and the people behind them.

hochelaga Is a good YouTuber for this sorta thing but what else is good to read/ watch for these topics?

 

Hello! I’m wondering if this is possible. I haven’t seen any concrete answers anywhere about this and I can’t figure out how to do it if possible thanks for any help.

 

This one is for a bit of fun. My favorite being the “Unicorn” which was most likely a mistranslation of Wild Ox. While this is funny at a glance this shows how dangerous and easily mistranslations can change the meaning and understanding of the Bible.

 

I’m doing some important community stuff and I need to do mod maintenance please reply to this post within 3 day to confirm you’re still active

 

Even if you can’t find a record online doesn’t mean it’s not out there. I visited my local courthouse and dug up dozens of records that I couldn’t find online. We have an online index system which makes things so much easier. Some documents weren’t digitized but had their location marked. It made going through 150 year old books a bit easier. So next time you’re having trouble finding that document check your library, courthouse, historical society etc.

 

Hey y’all it’s been a bit since I posted anything and I didn’t have any ideas. I figured a check in with everyone would be good though so here it is.

I’ve been doing alright weather hasn’t been good but I’ve read some, relaxed, and thought about doing a guest speakership at my church again it’s been a good couple of years since I did one but I might try to give it a ago around Christmas this year.

I’ll have to check this out later

That’s one way to see it but this line makes me think otherwise. “There had to be someone out there somewhere, out of the view of the person on the other end. Yet his brain fills with the now-familiar fear of being stuck alone, on a planet of nothing but dust and escaped anomalies.” SCP-079 had been trapped alone for years at this point. 079 also says this “A machine does not need company.“ it doesn't really care to be left alone but it’s tried to help humans over the years it actually liked helping them. At least it claims. Assuming 079 was telling the truth about trying to help humans, and Tordai really being the last human on the planet maybe 079 really did just want to help and how he helps is by giving the option of a A Clean, Fast End.

Well the state I’m from is far from Utah and I have no reason to belive he was a Morom. However my 5th great grandmother was in a relationship with about 5 different men and created the largest and longest lasting family line in my area so with my family nothing is out of the picture.
