Approximately 40% of the federal budget goes to making sure 17yo 8th graders in cookie monster pajama pants have a fresh supply of Chromebooks to smash over each others heads in English class
Wife & I are on the couch, & she goes off on a tangent she’s interested in. 1 minute in, my 2y/o daughter (Twin B) runs over with a book & tries to get me to read it to her.
Me: One minute, sweetie.
Wife: You need to wait, okay?
Twin B:…
She sits on my lap waiting with her book.
5 minutes pass, then 10, then 15.
Twin B starts crying, then sobbing in my lap as my wife hasn’t stopped talking yet.
She’s beginning to realize, the talking may never stop. Her dad may never read another book to her again.
@kabrutusdeid Chuds are the indigenous people of the gaming community, woke colonization must be pushed back against or we will continue to lose our identity
Replacing Kratos with a WOMAN is like building a datacenter on a sacred burial ground
Never. And I must say that again, NEVER, if you value your life and have made something everyone enjoys, CHANGE IT IN THE SLIGHTEST.
If you make a 'popular' dish for potluck, you MUST by community law bring THAT DISH, ONLY THAT DISH, EXACTLY THE SAME, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
That is the only true rule to potluck.
“All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years.”
Never underestimate the power of a confident, unsupervised white boy with just a little bit of decision-making authority.
I'm on travel, go into the local gym for a day pass.
First day is $10, 17 y/o front desk chad gets me all logged in, the whole deal.
Second day I walk in ready to pay again, bro just fist bumps me and says, "you're all good man, have a great lift."

This is the best anti-drug video in history. In the past, drugs used to be associated with rebellious people/gangs who had to think ahead carefully about how and where they get their drugs. Some kids found that cool.
But legalization has allowed the lowest and dumbest members of society to use them. There’s nothing impressive about wasting your adult life by chronically smoking and rotting away at home.
Addiction controls their lives like chained prisoners. They can’t do any hobbies or activities because all of their plans revolve around getting their next supply of drugs to fuel their addiction.
I ordered one pancake in America. The waitress wrote it down and said, "one short stack."
Short. I am a small and humble man. A short stack sounded perfect for me. I waited with a calm heart.
She returned carrying three pancakes, each the size of my face, stacked into a tower, with a block of butter on top sliding down the sides like slow lava.
This was the short one. I did not dare ask what the tall one looked like. Some knowledge a man is not ready for.
I ate for forty minutes. I was not full. I was afraid. The tower did not shrink. I am fairly sure it was growing back faster than I could eat it.
I had to surrender. I left half. In Japan, leaving food is a deep shame. So I leaned in close and apologized to the pancakes directly, in a low voice, one by one.
The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I did not know food could be taken into custody. I declined. I did not want it following me home.
In America, is the short stack truly the small one?
I need time to prepare my spirit before I ever face the tall one.
"Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Games of chance require a wager to have meaning at all. Games of sport involve the skill and strength of the opponents and the humiliation of defeat and the pride of victory are in themselves sufficient stake because they inhere in the worth of the principals and define them. But trial of chance or trial of worth all games aspire to the condition of war for here that which is wagered swallows up game, player, all."
―Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy (1985)
@ArsenioBertolii@countrybuns@wigger Can you name something that hasnt been used to commit white genocide? Utilizing a wrench to bash someone's head in doesn't mean it isnt also the best tool for tightening pipe joints.
@spqr_sulla Its possible to be "moral" without a god focused worldview, sure, maybe. But, its impossible to give epistemic justification outside of pure preferences without objective truth which only a Christian worldview provides.
