There’s a theory that the <3 shape was originally meant to be a butt before it was inverted and called a heart. I mean look at it and look at an actual heart. So it’s true to form.

Perhaps the teethlings have a shovel to summon.

…and Pontius Pilot was one historical figure we can prove exists. In letters from Rome telling him to stop genosiding so many Jews. We are supposed to believe that if this really happened, such a guy cared what the Jews thought, and would give them a choice on who to kill? Really? He would have killed Jesus, the other guy, and the crowd for good measure.

It’s clearly written to absolve Rome of any guilt since they founded the religion and all of the source material is more likely attributed to Mithra and Simon Magus.

My biggest issue is that all of these policies have huge timescales for the crisis at hand. 90% reduction of emissions…! ^By ^2036.

I’ll do you one better, nuclear families are a scam. We operated as communal societies for most of mankind’s existence. But now we are expected to not only stay with one partner but to raise kids on our own as well. It forces us to work harder and more importantly for the establishment buy more products since we share less.

It got worse. His father showed up… her son.

If the alt text doesn’t show, they are about the same biological age.

The state of the union proved he is right. Completely destroyed the GOP narrative and put out a ton of info that most people support.

Cats are constantly plotting how to take out their owners. Don’t worry, they are to lazy to ever attempt it.

When I was at my absolute darkest. So bad that I was in the midst of ending it. The thought that pulled me back was why not wait and see if things will change. No guarantee it would be any better on the other side. There was a chance if I didn’t though.

Now I know how much life can change in how little time. Things can always get better. Just hang in there ans seize the day the best you can muster. Don’t let anything drag you down it’s all bullshit anyhow.

The polls that are showing up all seem to have flaws like this.

It is way too early to know anything in this election anyhow. I’ve been following it closely and it is going to be a circus. Trump is showing mounting signs of dementia in his speeches as each one worst than the last. The stress of massive court judgment deadlines approaching seem to be breaking him as his best shot at getting 4 Billion vanishes before his eyes. Meanwhile Biden looks like your average retirement home resident. Don’t get me wrong, I like what he’s done, but both of them are just too damn old for this.

I don’t understand how Trump can remain a candidate at this rate if he winds up broke (he owes NYS half a billion) and in jail (the New York election tampering case) by the summer. It’s fucking insane and I love following it with existential dread and morbid curiosity.

I need coffee I spent a good minute wondering why the fact the repairman was a Pole mattered.

Kaworu is the only Eva character worth your time anyhow.

The problem isn’t new at all either. Someone on the right, just figured out how to create the incel culture and weaponize it. It’s sexism all the way down on both sides when there shouldn’t be sides at all. It’s the culmination of the social construct known as gender.

I didn’t expect to see regular Stormy!

Lando when the shields fell.

I’ve met plenty of Zionists who hate how the IDF is handling this.

Agreed. Story from my own experience… my dad once sent me to a religious retreat and I was totally eating it up. In hind sight I think it was just a convenient break for him. I approached him afterwards and told him how much I was feeling it. It had reinforced my beliefs strongly at the time. He then looked at me and said, “yeah, it’s all brain washing”. The whole weekend shattered then and there as I realized he was right. It wasn’t critical thinking that made me realize it was all shit, but by taking apart what they were doing to me and how it was distorting my perspective.

You combat this type delusion not with facts but in snapping a person to their senses as to how nonsensical their position is. Make them realize it themselves by pointing out small flaws in the method, not the message, and let the victim put it back together. There are kernels of truth in religious doctrine, but it’s usually covered in shit for some assholes agenda so it can be hard to just let go.

faeese

I seemed to pass as straight to cis gendered people, but like you said they are looking for that macho man vibe and despite my trying they could always see through it. Only gay and bi people ever showed signs of or did question it. I think much of what makes people uncomfortable about LGBTQ+ is because they see things that they see in themselves they don’t like. Society forces people to conform when things are far from black and white.

For example, despite saying that I am bi I have a strong preference towards women. I only crushed hard on a guy once, but never mentioned a word of it and was just best friends with him until we went our separate ways, due to the aforementioned homophobia around us. I wonder now, at this point, how different my life would have been if society was more open. I strongly suspect he wasn’t strictly het either as his wife is pan as well among other things.
