I did. It was a horrible experience.

Full of factual errors (Jesus being born in Jerusalem, horses in America before the Spanish brought them, etc.), poorly written, hundreds of "and it came to pass" and other statements making it obvious that it is the same writer in each book,tells of a group being cursed with being black, Jesus telling the Nephites he is the "Alpha and Omega" when they would never have known Greek, quoting Latin words from the King James and other Biblical passages (which were the best parts of the reading), describing places and people that do not reflect the archeological and DNA evidence at all...and that's just the highlights and doesn't include the theoligical statements that directly contradict the Bible....

It's an absolute mess.

But lastly...it promises another testament, which demonstrates it to be a different religion than Christianity. If it's just a different denomination, no new scriptures would be needed. You would never become LDS from reading the Bible alone.

@theistinthought Yes, I was engaged briefly to one on his way out and his family was awful. They hated me and pretended i didn't exist. The physical abuse his parents enacted on them shocked me. But of course- all smiley all the time. Glad I got out of that.

Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????

Let's face the facts: either Sikhs should not be allowed to carry kirpans — the very blades that killed Henry Nowak — or the public should be able to carry knives, since the current law is clearly not working.

Justice must be applied equally to all.

I found out an acquaintance of mine was planning to do a not insignificant layoff of American workers at his company, so I asked him why he was doing it. Asked him if he had thought about the American families he's going to devastate when he delivers the news. And all for such a small amount of money in the grand scheme of things.

He looked like I hit him with a sledgehammer. Clearly had not thought about it once. The board told him there would be a significant structural contraction in the VC market and he would need to get creative on the budget side of things. The indian VC recommended he outsource to india and lay off a decent chunk of his American coder base. He would get the CEO in touch with a firm he trusts. The CEO was going to follow that suggestion.

In order to understand the sheer level of cruelty of some of these CEOs you have to understand that they literally operate inside of a cult like environment. For every independent thinking Founder like Elon there is 100 NPC retards who are the worst people you will ever meet. The entire industry has been transformed into a weird third world scam culture in a lot of ways.

And when you're a first time CEO and a VC makes a suggestion like that, most of these people will follow it without thinking twice. You might as well be talking to a robot.

Luckily I had a good relationship with this guy and outlined the actual risk of outsourcing your team to india and he changed course.

But it got me thinking why would an indian VC meddle like this, it's not really common for VCs to get involved in hiring and firing decisions for lower level employees and the amount of money saved wasn't significant enough for a VC to care.

What I later found out was that there is significant overseas pressure from the indian government for these big indian names in Silicon Valley to push business away from America and into india. It's a racket. A racket designed to scam Americans out of jobs so that indian politicians can brag to their voters that they are putting indians first. If millions of American families suffer it's fine. No one has ever mentioned it from our government. Not Trump, not Biden, not Obama, not Bush. No one.

On the surface, it sounds like Boomers hate you. Or like they have the attention span and logical thinking skills of a goldfish.

Neither one of these is true.

Their complete dismissal of any of your concerns, and their total refusal to understand your situation or worldview, is actually quite sensible in light of one key fact about them.

They're not hateful. They're not dumb. They just have an incredibly low emotional pain threshold.

They cannot stand to feel bad about themselves for any reason, even for a moment.

When you create a meme like this, or you tell the story of how you are forty years old and can't afford a house because you trained for three different careers and got rugpulled by work visas and offshoring every time...

... then they don't even think about it as a worldview or a perspective or an experience that you have. They don't think about you at all.

They think only about the effect on their own self-esteem, which must be parried.

You have, you see, told a tale of playing life on hard mode, which implies that they were playing life on easy mode, which implies that they are not wizards of insight and paragons of virtue.

That's why they will immediately respond with these incoherent lines about whining and bootstraps and firm handshakes and avocado toast. Of course they don't make sense. They don't have to make sense. The goal isn't to persuade you of anything or engage with you at all.

The goal is simply to have an excuse to avoid thinking about something which might make them feel bad.

These Boomerisms are magic talismans used to ward off emotional discomfort, in much the same fashion as all the species of plants they smoked their way through when they were your age.

I don't see a solution to this.

I don't know any way to tell Boomers that Hart-Cellar, CRA1964, DEI, open borders, social welfare programs, anti-racism, gay marriage, gun control, the sexual revolution, etc, were massive mistakes and need to be stopped, while hiding the obvious implication they were the ones who made those mistakes.

If we wish to save Western civilization, to make things good enough again that actual Americans can manage to have homes and marriages and children, then we're going to have to find a way to work around the Boomers, because they're never going to get on board.

Apart from the jokes about the fact that (allegedly) getting decimated for three days due to a couple of glasses of wine one night is the lamest thing I've heard in a long time and something that even an 86 year old granny wouldn't admit to, there is something interesting here about the religious impulse of people.

So much of this kind of stuff - health / efficiency maxed stuff - is just secularized religious impulse. It's obvious in the way they talk about the substances or ingredients whatever it may be. There is a decidedly strident kind of "believing" tone. They exaggerate a lot.

For example, there is no way this guy was actually negatively impacted for three days in any meaningful way. Maybe he believes somewhere he feels it but by no reasonable way of understanding our body did it really happen to him.

They exaggerate the positives and the negatives in a kind of religious fervor to justify it. They are basically performing a pretty standard religious impulse - separating things into holy vs unholy / pure vs impure / sacred vs profane. They don't use that language of course. The whole point here is that it is secularized religious impulse, but that's what it is.

It's interesting once you see it as that. People are searching and want to feel that religious fervor even if they don't see themselves as religious. They ache for the feeling of righteousness, whether it be in casting out the demonic seed oils, forgoing the evil spirit water known as wine, or seeking salvation in the perfected sleep score.

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

Here's my hypothesis.

What we just witnessed in KY with the Massie loss was a 'struggle session.' It was designed to send one message: "We're fully in control, you have no power, and you might as well not even waste the time to vote."

It was an operation designed to inflict demoralization. Same as not being allowed to be on the beach alone during 'Covid.' That's it's complete nonsense **IS** the point.

Same as publicly executing Charlie Kirk. Same energy, same intention, & the same people. The point is to demonstrate their power, with the target being your sense of agency and control.

We no longer need to wonder why the Trump administration has zero interest in finding CK's actual killer. It's the same people.

Who was that figure in white seen leaving the roof of the Sorenson building at UVU that fateful day? That nobody cares on Tyler's 'defense team' or with any investigative authority is meant to be both obvious to the thinking person, as well as demoralizing.

That's the play; fracture and divide us. Demoralize people to the point of giving up before they can even begin to organize, let alone fight. It's a form of cognitive warfare, and it's been running non-stop since Covid first appeared in 2020.

Why? Because someone hates America and its people and wishes to see us taken down.

The Barbarians are inside the gates.

That's what the Massie loss means to me.

[Kentucky Statesman @ky_statesman]

This is how the Mitch McConnell/Michael Adams election fraud machine works here in Kentucky. They flood the voter rolls with fake registrations from ERIC & then use them to submit fraudulent early & absentee ballots. It's exactly how Andy Beshear was installed twice.

[🏴‍☠️ @calvinfroedge]

So what we're supposed to believe is that a guy who only had 75 donations from Kentucky, an empty victory party, and nobody at his rallies, managed to double turnout from 2024 plus get all 10k mail in ballots

KY-4 may have been outright fraud

These numbers don't make sense

What did they mean by this

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Yeah being pro-Israel is such good politics that it took $19,000,000; the sitting US president; the sitting leader of the US military; and several billionaires all to beat a critic of Israel in Kentucky by 10,000 votes
