Fuck the DNC

we have such a weak-ass president and Ukraine has a fuckin chad beast.

Yep. I am not sure why we are hosting when we know it ends up costing a city more than it generates and we have budget shortfalls already.

To be frank, I would like to see us just say “sorry, you know what? now isn’t a great time for us after all.”

Feels like it would be best for everyone.

Ban plastic bottles.

The difficulty in convincing fellow Americans of this simple and obvious fact is the truly damning bit.

The rotor didn’t separate from the hub, the transmission and mast and rotor separated from the helicopter, suddenly and seemingly without warning based on the available video.

Volatility! A recipe for a booming economy!

To answer the title question: they start looking for something serious with someone.

“I am not looking for anything serious.”

You wanna know why no one does anything? Because people post shit like this about how we are fucked and then go about their day feeling like they did something.

Trump is a business genius, I tell you!

A core childhood memory is seeing this episode for the first time (as a rerun in the 80s) on our 13" black and white that sat on the fridge so my dad could watch Trek at dinner.

My mom had made pizza that night.

This meme hits me very deep. 🤝

You refuse to address the “arbitrary” and “dire consequences” parts of my arguments by pointing at hypothetical religions. I will not respond to that.

To teach someone that they must follow arbitrary rules with dire consequences for failure is unethical.

You can decide what that means for religions.

All major world religions with many followers have arbitrary rules and dire spirital, and often physical, consequences for breaking them.

I am not here to argue specifics on religions.

I don’t think I could be more clear about why I believe teaching anyone religion as fact is unethical.

Teaching anyone that they must be judged by arbitrary, unprovable rules or face dire consequences is unethical.

You are like a younger me who refused to see the 10,000 year history of abuse and realize that any system based on “because I told you so” us unethical and harmful to human life.

It is also important to remember that religions are human organizational structures, but their basis of authority is “because I said so.” We see this structure arise over and over until it is eventually removed for something more based in reality.

The history books are full of religions’ heinous crimes against humanity. Maybe there is some religion out there that is purely benevolent but I have never heard of it in the sea of counterexamples.

If you are currently trapped in a religion, I am here to tell you that you can escape. Once you do, a lot becomes much more clear.

This would be true if religion were not so often used to suppress and hurt people.
