The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
I rattle on about mostly politics, religions, science, technology, and of course my genitals - I mean, it is the internet...

I'm just wondering why sports teams seem to be the ones mostly supporting kids' development toward a certain "field of study" when @Meta, @Apple, @amazon, @netflix, and @Google could do the same - with probably better longterm employment prospects for both parties... just sayin.

@waitbutwhy So, what you're saying is... IF you and your partner both have blue eyes it's basically incest. Got it. Running with it!

@SenSanders Are there not finance laws that require CEOs divulge information to shareholders and that if during those meetings promises are made to increase their value, and then doesn't, that the CEO could be pulled in front of SEC for defrauding investors. Seems like maybe it's the laws...

Dear Media, can you stop with the whole "If we don't let Putin have a win he might start a nuclear war" opinion pieces?

Yes, we're aware, but is the point that you want to give Russia a win? Or are you just pointing out the obvious - which is also a win for Russian propaganda.

@Public_Citizen Trick question: they're BOTH handouts. Stop with this nonsense. 58% of Americans 25+ DO NOT want to pay for your college degrees of the other 42% and it's quite fucking rude of you to "demand" it.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@PamKeithFL The first will lose votes,
The second will regain them.
42% of Americans 25+ have a degree. Some of those already paid off their debt, so 58%+ of Americans DO NOT want to pay for your college degree. But we do wanna get high legally... just sayin.

@padresj Poor people don't go to college.

@jdflynn Anything can be a sex toy if you try hard enough...

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@SenSanders Free food and housing (actual needs) before we pay off others' chosen debts, please. This is what will lose D's elections... promising to pay off chosen debts while us poors never went to college because we knew we couldn't afford it. Fuck y'all for this.

@RepDanCrenshaw So, what you are saying is that "Federal Health Authorities" should "prohibit migrants from entering the country" to "prevent the spread of a communicable disease". So, you are for more Big Gov't Health Regulations? Or just when it comes to migrants? #Hypocrite

Hey @RandPaul, the US was a part of Great Britain, we even speak the same language... So, IF they wanted to reabsorb us I to their territory, that's fine with you? ...fucking moron.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @noah_nonsense @kelly_carlin @elonmusk Exactly my point - you keep using "faith" in man and then also use it for your "faith" in God. Clearly not the same thing, but you keep conflating the two to "prove" your point - and your just not. But, you're right - this conversation is going no where b/c your blinded by faith.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @noah_nonsense @kelly_carlin @elonmusk When you have "faith" in someone - a lover, a partner, a friend it's a trust that's been built upon experience, yes. But are you now telling me you go to church every Sunday to worship your lover? Negative. It is you that are contriving meaning from words we both know aren't same

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@MRains @noah_nonsense @kelly_carlin @elonmusk You don't understand the words you're using.

When you say you have faith in someone, you're not throwing away evidence. You're using the fact that experience and evidence has given you every reason to trust.

Faith does not replace evidence. It compliments it.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @noah_nonsense @kelly_carlin @elonmusk Literally faith does not. That's why it's called faith - not evidence.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @kelly_carlin @elonmusk So, what you're saying is you believe a man floated, body and all, into the air - what, into outer space? Just curious if that's what you believe - I mean, I know it is... I just want you to admit the completely asinine belief while you unironically smirk in self assurance.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@noah_nonsense @RichardHaddadAU @kelly_carlin @elonmusk If by educated you mean indoctrinated, sure. Education and faith are diametrically opposed. One relies on evidence and knowledge built upon the observance of that evidence, the other is acceptance of a belief despite all evidence against.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @kelly_carlin @elonmusk While not incorrect about the date choosing, the name itself "Easter" or Eostre is the Germanic Goddess of Dawn. And pre-dates Christianity.

As I don't believe in divinity, and you do - I ask again, what do YOU think happened to the body of Jesus of Nazareth after resurrection?

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@RichardHaddadAU @kelly_carlin @elonmusk Faith in one's partner is directly related to fidelity. Not whether they'll make dinner everynight. Fools abound, indeed.

Faith is a leap.

Evidence based decision making is science.

[Culturally Inappropiated @MRains]

@noah_nonsense @LawrenceMartyr @RichardHaddadAU @kelly_carlin @elonmusk Almost like one took an existing celebration and tried to wrap their religion in it. Spring Equinox, general observation of renewal or *ahem* rebirth, fertility, etc... rabbits, eggs - oh, wait, our guy died and came back too!

While US citizens celebrate the removal of their masks aboard public transportation, an entire city of 26M people has been in lockdown for weeks to contain the spread of Covid.

For comparison, NYC + L.A. + Chicago = about 16M.
