Hullo friendly wall people!

I highly suggest everyone in this thread read Angry White Men by Michael Kimmel. HIGHLY suggest you read it to understand the kind of person in America that does this and why.

The sugar tax didn’t include artificial sweeteners? That’s an oversight. Those things are bad for you in ways that are different from digestable sugars.

Or we could just say “fuck that noise” and just say the first millennium was a little bit short.

More like 70% of the US adult population if you include the asymptomatic carriers of both HSV 1 and 2.

Well, usually.

I mean that username tho…

Gotta start local and work your way up. The system is fundamentally flawed. There are many problems, but the most fixable is the voting and representation systems, which can usually be changed at the local level through referendum. Approval Voting is an easy fix with big impact and when applied to multi-winner elections you can use a proportional variant to get proportional results in the legislature. Both of these changes would reduce polarization and make it easier for third parties to get in office. With more than two parties in power, the parties have to start working together and compromising on things, instead of just obstructing until they’re the majority and then jamming through partisan bullshit. But you gotta start local. Run a referendum campaign, switch your local elections to Approval, and work your way up.

All I want for Christmas is Approval Voting and proportional representation.

Buck-twenty-Gs, baby!

Gay people are generally fairly slutty. Image if ever guy’s dream slut was also just another guy. Well, they all have the same attraction to sluts, so they all end up being sluts for each other. Sluts for sluts.

Generalizations cannot be applied to the individual.

Slut.

You have to work your way up from the bottom with he voting system. You probably know a bit about how they work already, but Approval is my favorite.

I shall never forget as long as I live. Katie Porter or AOC would be better choices.

I’m not really sure who likes them other than the people who like them

…What?

Yeah, it’s a social problem. Recognize that mass shooters are almost exclusively white males. The book Angry White Men by Michael Kimmel does a great job of profiling the person who does this sort of thing and why. There’s a lot that goes into it. Economics, masculinity, school culture, etc.

Open source researchers on social media suggested a Krasukha electronic warfare radar jammer had been positioned on the complex.

That’s why. The jammer is messing with Ukrainian operations and Russia put it there so they could scream “nuclear site!” if Ukraine ever went after it.

The explanation I heard was that it was likely Mary and Peter hallucinated Jesus only a few days after he died. That’s a very common timeframe for when people hallucinate seeing dead loved ones, and the early descriptions in Bible match the flavor of dead loved-one hallucinations people typically have, with the figure assuring the person everything will be all right and whatnot. Other descriptions (like Jesus appearing to all twelve disciples or crowds of people) seem to have been written later more as persuasive arguments, with doubting Tomas acting as the stand-in for the skeptical listener. This is all from “How Jesus Became God” and I have no idea how mainstream or fringe the author’s views are.

I’ve heard theories that key people probably had hallucinations of Jesus a few days after he was killed, which was the big thing that helped launch him from yet-another-apocalyptic-preacher to (eventually) God himself. I don’t know how well these are accepted, though.

Well then clearly you’re not used to the idea yet.
