Excuse me, what?! Going to have to check that out ASAP.
Excuse me, what?! Going to have to check that out ASAP.
I was going to say that I have an awesome book about this stuff, and then I saw the author of the post is the author of that book. The book is called “Your Inner Fish” and it is EXCELLENT.
It was so plain to see once you get past the “fee-fees” of the bullshit. Patently obvious to anyone with a shred of humanism.
No way. The guy who said he’d give Netanyahu a blank check to destroy Gaza opposes Islam? Color me fucking shocked.
People are sexist, who knew? The patriarchy is alive and thriving.
“So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.”
No no, you don’t understand. Just like imperialism, it’s only bad when “the West” does it.
This is exactly it for me. If you give me cash, I will appreciate it but just end up saving it. If you give me a gift card I will use it to buy something I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Plus, you can be more intentional with gift cards. Was your dad talking about how much he’d like a new fishing pole? Getting him a gift card to an outdoors store shows you were paying attention. Maybe your wife really likes manicures but never gets them for herself. A gift card to a spa shows thought.
The entire US government is the image of war crimes they egged on, regardless of party. Don’t act like you’re not immediately a war criminal by becoming president. Trump is a war criminal. So is Biden, and Obama, and every president before then with precious few exceptions.
led to them ordaining Biden
You understand he’s not running now, right? The rest of the post is a non-sequitor because he’s not the candidate now.
Similar to Harney Peak being renamed Black Elk Peak. Though Harney wasn’t a Confederate, he did massacre Native American men, women, and children. Tribal/indigenous naming is so much better.
Cool, so you would rather moralize about what will happen regardless of who wins this election than try to prevent America from becoming a theocracy. Cool cool. Enjoy the indiscriminate slaughter of all those groups you say you support. I hope you live comfortably through all the death. Have a good one.
Nice slippery slope fallacy you got there. Do you care so little about women and lgbtqia+ people that you’d willingly sacrifice their rights? Do you care so little for kids that you’d allow the department of education to be dismantled and replaced with privatized school? Do you care so little for the shred of democracy left in America that you’d willingly let us become a christofascist theocracy? Republicans and project 2025 are a threat to the very foundation of this country, and you won’t vote to stop that? They’ll also let Israel continue their bullshit and spread it to other countries like Iran. You’re cool with that? Just so you can feel morally superior while allowing all of this other stuff to happen?
If you’re not voting Democrat right now, you’re an accelerationist.
This election is two choices. You either get athlete’s foot or terminal cancer. If you don’t choose, you get terminal cancer. If you protest because athlete’s foot is still bad, you get terminal cancer. Make your choice accordingly.
Fuck dude, it’s all so goddamned depressing. The only sliver of hope I have is that I can pass my knowledge to my kids and teach them better much younger. Hopefully enough people do this sort of thing that we might finally pull ourselves out of our bullshit ignorance. I know it’s worth nothing, but I’m sorry all the same.
I think you’re correct. We were taught about manifest destiny but not the genocide of Native Americans, and that’s just one instance of the institutionalized racism we were taught was good. SO MANY PEOPLE never grew out of that or tried to be better.
I was also gifted firearms as a child. They were kept inside a locked safe that I didn’t have the combination for when not being used for hunting or target shooting. As much as I enjoy guns, hunting, and shooting, I can also see that responsibility goes beyond “it’s guaranteed in the constitution” or equivalent bullshit.
Drag queen story times are of the devil! ( The Christians say while attending church where someone dresses up and reads stories).
Except responsible gun owners wouldn’t buy their child a gun and give them access to it whenever they please. Any firearms I may or may not possess would be locked in a safe which no one but any spouse I may hypothetically have had access to. Unfortunately I lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident a few years back.
What I’m trying to say is that, while the government shouldn’t be allowed to come check that people have their guns locked up when not in use, there should absolutely be repercussions for anyone found to not be doing so.
Grew up working on a dairy farm, definitely drank raw milk and didn’t shit my guts out. It would if you drank, like, a LOT of it. But seriously you’d have to drink more than a cup or so.
