This entire league is a bunch of crazy lesbos, one girl who isn't insane and one mousy girl who may also be sane, but is afraid to admit it in fear of pissing of the crazy lesbos
I lost my phone at the mall. I accepted its death. I began composing its memorial.
Two hours later, a text arrived at my friend's phone, the last number I had called:
"I found this phone at the food court. It's charged now. Come get it."
It's charged now.
A stranger had found my dead phone, plugged it into HIS OWN cable, waited for it to wake up, and then texted my friend.
The stranger was fifteen. A kid in a basketball jersey, standing by the pretzel stand, holding my phone with both hands like it was a baby bird.
I offered a reward. He stepped back like I had drawn a sword.
"Nah, man. Just... pass it on."
I asked why he charged it.
He looked at me like the question had no shape. "A dead phone can't call nobody."
He is fifteen. He has a doctrine.
I now carry a spare cable in my coat. For the next phone. For the next stranger.
I have used it twice. Both times I said the words.
"Pass it on."
They both did.
The kid is out there somewhere, fifteen, charging the whole country one phone at a time.
He does not know he started something.
He is fifteen.
The country is in good hands.
"Wasn't it just crazy that time we declared your country to be irredeemably racist, caused mob violence and a massive crime wave across the country by waging a war against law enforcement, ruined peoples' lives if they made a joke in a private groupchat, and reoriented every American institution so they discriminate against white men?"
Along with many others, I was appalled by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s giggling dismissal of “Woke 1” as “crazy.”
In case you’ve forgotten, she herself was one of the most passionate advocates of de-funding the police, tearing down statues of American heroes, establishing racial quotas, dividing the country between oppressors and oppressed, etc.
I quite agree that these policy recommendations and policies were “crazy,” but she has to own up to endorsing them.
More to the point, Woke 1 was not only misguided; it was cruel.
One of the bitterest fruits of Wokeism was the cancel culture that resulted in armies of people losing jobs, reputations, and careers because they didn’t correspond to the reigning orthodoxy.
I happen to know several people whose lives were devastated by Woke crusaders.
But now it’s just “ha-ha, wasn’t that crazy.” No, it was brutal and inhumane.
St. Augustine (AD 354 – AD 430) until he was age 32:
> had issues with pride of life, intellectual pride, and sins of the flesh
> neglected his Greek homework
> had a baby momma situation
> got involved in a weird heretical cult
St. Augustine at age 32:
> got baptized alongside his son — decades of his mother’s prayers were answered
St. Augustine after age 32:
> became a great bishop, philosopher, and lover of his community
> wrote witty, funny, intelligent works that serve as an important foundation for much of Catholic theology and made him a Doctor of the Church
> used Latin puns and dad humor in his sermons as a spiritual father
> holy men want to be like him, holy women love him
Truly, every Saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
Hey @StephanieWhite, the person who causes the most challenges for the Fever group is YOU!
When YOU sing the praises of an opposing team’s player who just clocked your player, it is not “outside noise”. It is YOU that is the problem!
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries.
Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.
