Oh shit

As of right now, your other post has 15 downvotes and 3 comments from others (the other 4 are you). All three comments say that you’re posting bait. This is hardly “oblivion.”

To answer your question, people are harsh on the transracial thing because they feel it’s similar to how some pedophiles are trying to normalize pedophilia, and are trying to make themselves part of the LGBTQ+ movements (even though most people don’t recognize that as legitimate). Whatever your views on any of these issues, many people feel that injecting illigitmate (or bad faith) cases like this actually takes away from the people fighting for legitimate things.

I’m not taking sides right now, just trying to help you understand why you’re getting this response. If you’re vying for transracial identities as legitimate, you’ve got a long and harsh road ahead, expect more pushback like this in almost all spaces.

Don’t post that shit. They might be into it.

If anyone tells you the water is shark-infested, tell them it’s not. Water is where sharks live. Shallow water near beaches is human-infested.

Just put it on a USB stick. No install, no commitment. Baby steps.

Yeah, Joel Osteen has a special place in hell. The boiler room. All the way down.

The best records we have of Jesus’ teachings are the gospel books that are typically referenced. And there are enough references to Jesus of Nazareth in other texts to suggest this is what he was like and taught.

Jesus’ teachings on government and social structures are nuanced and difficult to apply to our human structures, because he proposed a government ruled by a perfectly good, benevolent monarch (which, in theory, is a great system if you can guarantee the monarch is really perfectly good). He preached a lot about “the kingdom of God” and contrasted it to how we do things on earth. So the point was never to provide a blueprint of how we should do government, but that there was something above all earthly governments that superceded it all.

Unfortunately, people have used those teachings in very bad ways (the same reasoning that the religious leaders used to kill Jesus). All of that to say–there are a lot of congregations that have more in common with the Pharisees than the early church.

Ironically, western culture today suffers from one of the same falsehoods that Jesus himself preached against: the idea that poverty is a moral failing. They believe that the rich are wealthy because they’ve “earned it” in some way, and therefore must be morally superior for their work ethic. Conveniently, this also allows the wealthy to keep a clean conscience–if everyone was as “good” as they are, they could all be enjoying this life too.

So with this mindset, all “good” people who are poor are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires–they identify with the rich, who actively abuse and suppress them, because they believe themselves to be part of the same “moral party.”

Thanks! It was about 10 years ago, but I still enjoy being artsy.

I (male) tend to do more tidying, while my spouse (female) tends to do more cleaning.

I’d say the stereotypes are dated from when men weren’t expected to care for themselves or their home. And I know plenty of boomers and a few Gen X who fit into that, but I don’t see it as common in more recent generations.

Ooh, that’s my favorite flavor of

Whoop or regular?

Whichever one has the cocaine in it

Bottle with the label ripped off. That way, once people are used to it, I can drink used motor oil without all the questions.

Not true–it’s still there, but it’s not SEO-optimized so you’ll never find it.

Yeah I saw that. Not ideal, but there aren’t a ton of games I play that really need that throttle.

That looks super cool, but unfortunately I can’t spare CAD$483 for it :(

8bitdo controllers are great, I have the SN30 Pro. But the 2C Ultimate doesn’t have that right joystick in the position I’m looking for.

Dang, this is definitely the winner. I’m a fan of Nintendo’s controllers, but never had a WiiU so didn’t realize they were in that configuration. Thanks!
