@DrJohnVervaeke Are they actually rational, or are people just unable to break their ethical framework enough to see the rationality in a different one?

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@DrJohnVervaeke Most people find their ethical systems to be perfectly rational, if not self-evident.

@PageauJonathan Let he who has not been fooled by a passing tranny cast the first stone.

@kalezelden What was your first clue?

Recently, I made the decision to go home. There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future.
But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

I do not fear.
Christ is King. ✝️

In order to see this moment clearly, and to wisely participate in the Good, we need to understand is it DOES NOT MATTER what story Nolan thought he was telling; it only matters what story he actually told.

Art is a thing greater than the artist through which it comes. Until we grasp this, we will never recover from all our individualistic narcissism.

I see a great deal of old school Puritanism in response to @PageauJonathan, that graceless purity cult which cannot receive any truth unless it flows from some kind of pristinely unsoiled source - which is a thing that doesn't actually exist in this world, which is why conservatives never have any good art.

The male umpires are probably helping the managers out by giving them someone to yell at without looking psycho for screaming at a woman on national TV.

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

Don’t you find it odd that the other umpires are protecting MLB’s first female home plate umpire, Jen Pawol?

The managers can barely argue with her on the field, or not at all because the other umps step in.

She’s BY FAR the worst ump in MLB.

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@DanClarkSports And because she's female.

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@roddreher I have mixed feelings. Seeing the best in people and being humble and careful before publicly condemning someone is obviously virtuous. However, extolling wickedness as virtue is not good. Was Joe Biden "nice", exactly, even if he was polite and friendly in person?

[Annie Crawford @annielcrawford]

How this sounds to me:

I made my first ugly, kitschy Christmas ornament with a foam crafting kit from Hobby Lobby.

I know nothing about making foam!

I have 100 more ideas for foam ornaments no one needs!

What a time to be alive!

As if a world with 1 billion unskilled people making 100 apps is a great world?

We are just building digital garbage dumps at this point, aren’t we?

@SteveSkojec MIL survived and is today better than ever!

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@SteveSkojec My MIL was in a severe car crash and life-flighted to the same university hospital where my wife was going to school. Wife was walking with a friend and saw the helicopter go overhead and said to her friend, "Wouldn't it be weird if you knew the person inside?"

Activist: "You keep them pregnant all year round. It's forced."

Farmer: "Nine months carrying, same as you. Then a couple of months clear before she's back in calf. There's a gap built in."

Activist: "But you make her. Every year."

Farmer: "Put a bull in that field and clear off for ten years. Every cow hands you a calf a year, same as the wild herds nobody farms. Annual isn't something I invented."

Activist: "It's the insemination that's forced."

Farmer: "A cow only stands to be mounted when she's in heat. That's what 'standing heat' means. The other twenty days of her cycle you'll not move her an inch. It's timed to the one window she's saying yes."

Activist: "She's got no say."

Farmer: "She's got the say her body's always had. A cow you never breed doesn't stand about relieved. She comes into heat every three weeks, roaring at the gate, hunting the exact thing you've come to save her from."

Activist: "..."

Farmer: "You've come to rescue her from being a cow. She's over there being one anyway. Ask her which of you understands it better."

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@richardrohlin That's a weird looking storybook you got there!

[memetic_sisyphus @memeticsisyphus]

So there’s this practice that’s ubiquitous in the world. People kill their own children for favor from the gods. The Bible depicts a man about to carry out the task, when a messenger from God tells him God will not ask this of him. This sets up a culture differentiated from all around it. One that rejects human sacrifice as a means of worship. A moral standard that is spread through its religion and its offshoots. A moral standard that so permeates our culture that now thousands of years later after the religious belief has waned but the morality still holds, an unbeliever points to the story as some horrible wickedness. He points to it as an example of how Christian morality isn’t different than the barbaric practices of others. He’s unable to see how silly his argument is and that’s a shame.

@michaeljknowles You been following @PageauMatthieu? He has a lot to say on this topic.

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@JeremyDBoreing Does DW still have all the rights to Pendragon? Would love to see a sequel. I know a certain @PageauJonathan is doing a lot in the folk tale storytelling space. Maybe a collab is in order?

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@PageauJonathan *Cue arguments over which translation*

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

@sanderson1611 @PageauJonathan Huh, this a weird video. I was reliably informed by Mr. @gavinortlund that this doesn't happen.

[Nicholas Watson @JJ_Swatson22]

Can confirm, Baseball > Soccer
