I don't know who wrote this originally:

A future soldier time travels into a gun store:
"I need a rifle to kill aliens that are mostly bullet proof."
Ok, you're probably going to want a larger caliber, probably .308, or for armor the added velocity of 6.5 Creed might...
"No, we only have 5.56."
Ok, no problem. You're going to at least want a longer barrel to keep as much velocity as you can.
"I was thinking like, 7 inches."
Ah, ok. If portability is a big concern you're probably going to want a super compact PDW style stock.
"I need the longest, heaviest stock you can find."
...Ok. Lets talk optics then, a 7" 5.56 is gonna be pretty limited on range so a simple red dot...
"I need magnification."
Oh, are these aliens hard to identify?
"They're gigantic."
Oh.
"I tell you what, go ahead and put a red dot at a 45. They look sick."
Will you ever use it?
"I will not."
....so, aliens huh? That sounds rough.
"They have incredibly heightened senses. They can smell blood from a mile away."
OH. Well, now the shorter barrel makes a little more sense. You're making room for a big suppressor.
"A what?"
A silencer. Especially if you're going to be shooting these in close proximity to other people, the concussive forces will be...
"No thanks. We'll probably shoot a dozen of these full auto in a concrete stairwell."
That's...I think you're making my point.
"We'll also be fighting in dimly lit areas."
You'll want a super bright weapon mounted light.
"No I said they'll be dimly lit. What's your dimmest light?"
How is this war going for you?
"We're losing terribly."

Fahrenheit is based on human experience:
0° is fucking cold. 100° is fucking hot.

Celsius is based on at sea level water:
Water freezes at 0° and boils at 100°

A. Celsius is flawed because water freezes and boils at different temperatures depending on altitude.

B. When I ask what the temperature is, I’m asking for myself. I don’t give a fuck how water feels about the weather.

U.S. BECOMES FIRST NATION TO HOST A FIFA WORLD CUP TEAM AND AIR STRIKE THAT TEAM’S COUNTRY ON THE SAME DAY

“Under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, not invented in 1954.

The exact wording was actually inspired by Lincoln:

“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom” - Lincoln, Gettysburg Address

The concept dates back to 1776:

“the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” - Declaration of Independence

The constitution itself is even dated:

“in the Year of our Lord 1787”

If you’re going to play the history card at least google it first. Im all for freedom of religion, but pretending the USA was founded by a bunch of atheists and agnostics is just silly.

Christ is King.
As someone who has a moderately popular online presence, I have seen people mock my faith regularly because I proclaim it publicly.
I reiterate indefinitely- Christ is King.

You don't hate capitalism, you hate corporatism.

You look at bailouts, subsidies, and firms that get rich through political access instead of honest competition, and you are right to feel disgusted.

Capitalism lives or dies by voluntary exchange, by serving people well enough that they choose you over someone else.

Corporatism works by fusing business with the state so failure gets cushioned, rivals get fenced out, and consumers get trapped.

In one arrangement, profit follows value. In the other, profit follows influence.
