@mormon_pilgrim @HolisticNicole Man take yourself seriously. “Outer darkness”? The “veil of forgetfulness”? It’s like bad writing for a movie.

@PreacherWrites @AaronRHolloway1 @HansFiene I asked a Mormon friend once if they basically viewed Jesus as a Demigod and she said yes.

@AaronRHolloway1 @HansFiene @MirriamWebster what is a metaphor?

[Quick Trick Brick Stack @MonsterRatPack]

@StalwartCoug @JanCBS Wow yeah I bet they haven’t considered that, good point.

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate"

my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations.
poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable

the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point

we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it

the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

@heal_soul49465 @holisticgrenade By what mechanism do you think people are having kids later?

The period goes inside the quotations you deranged maniac.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Thanks to Republicans’ chaotic policies:

Small businesses have let 120,000 employees go.

Grocery and utility prices are up.

The cost of health care is skyrocketing.

But instead of helping struggling families, Trump is looking into building a giant “Arc de Trump”.

@jenningslawton @SeedOilDsrspctr Consider Classical Christian schools for your kids. In my kids’ elementary school, the boys sit in front of the girls when they gather in the corner for the required school shooter drills “so the boys can protect the girls if necessary.”

"If you didn't insist on enforcing the law, we wouldn't have to gun down your law enforcement in the streets"

"If you didn't insist on saying things we don't like, we wouldn't have to kill you on a college campus."

Same people. Same predictable shit.

@TradVat2 Loved this! Would be interested in hearing more about how an LDS spiritual life feels/works compared to a Catholic one. I have a theory that many peoples’ theology is more based in process/“fruit” than it is about rational theology.

@NickClairmont1 My favorite is 30 weeks: “beet (including the leaves)”

@KnowleSpiritbro @sscjusa Yes and people kind of ruin the magic by making it 1/6+ of the year. The decorations don’t even feel special anymore.

@geoliberal @bruce_barrett @grok They also get to skip to the front of the security line and don’t have to do any of the work of carrying their own bags though the airport, finding their own gate, etc.

@gyrfalc63587709 @ThymeToBeBorn I’m sorry, you’re “pro choice”? Does that only apply to people whose choices you approve of?

[Quick Trick Brick Stack @MonsterRatPack]

@TradVat2 Would be very interested to hear his response to point #4.

@rayengroves I take heart that God is sovereign and placed each of us here, in this specific time, for reasons perhaps unknown to us.

@Dirtdragonmom One of my kids once puked in the touch-a-stingray tank at the aquarium 🙃

@awstar11 Oh don’t worry, they will now that they’re done using it as distraction for the VA races.

[Quick Trick Brick Stack @MonsterRatPack]

@Cratscadle Put them in their room for a set time period every day. If they’re tired, they nap in their own. If they’re not, they can play until the time ends. This will pay off tremendously when they are older (5-9ish) and can manage their own bedtime after tuck-in.

@lucky___deluxe I’m one of two and I wish I had more siblings. When we were younger, everything was a competition (who’s better at school/sports/staying out of trouble — which means the other was by definition “the worse”). Now that our parents are old, everything is a debate with no tiebreaker.
