The god of deer offers a different gospel than the god of wolves.

Yet God is father to both deer and wolf.

The people in that tree (Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith) confessed to murdering a young man and raping his fiancee. A third member of their stickup crew fled prior to the murder because he didn’t want to attack a man he knew. He was not hung and served a sentence in prison for accessory to murder. He confirmed these men committed the murder and rape as well.

@real_dreamr @FrenlyOfficer Yes, but pangs keep recurring. In between, you're in a fog like missing a night of sleep or having a hangover. You can't skip meals and still have your brain and body function normally. It's possible to fast, but that's the only thing you're doing.

This is what attraction is

This single factor is responsible for over 90% of human children born in the last 300 years

If we pretend this isn’t related to attraction we have no way to explain how the human race still exists

It’s deeply odd to me that America is a far less 24/7 hour society today than it was 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. I vividly remember friends from the UK back in 1996 marveling at the fact that in the mid-sized Indiana town where I went college it was possible to buy groceries, clothing, a lawn mower, a snow blower, Lego sets, and bow hunting gear at 3 AM on any given Tuesday of the year. That was peak American Empire, and it’s long gone.

I do have real beliefs and convictions. I sincerely and unironically believe in eugenics. I will say that with my full chest.

Wokeness is clearly downstream of Christian morality. A sort of secular heresy we might call. The extreme versions of wokeness that valorize weakness and inability have long been noted to be linked to Christian values, it is not an original observation. Which is not to say that all Christians are like this.

@jollier_raptor Sorry, buddy. Humanism is the real idolatry.

White people from Ohio move to New York and exclaim, “I saw a Puerto Rican on the train going back to his part of town as I headed back to my part of town. I love incidental contact with so many different cultures!”

My sister lives in California. Yesterday, after playing with some random kids on a playground, her son demanded to know why she'd never told him boys could be princesses.

Here in New Hampshire, after playing with random kids on a playground, my son demanded to know why I had never told him about Gumby.

We know what's wrong with CA, but wth is happening here? Is Gumby making a comeback?

Should I have been prepared to talk to my kids about Gumby?

Homosexuals, Jews, and women can all be delightful on an individual level. Just don't put them in power.

I don't really understand this objection. 90% of my life, I had to commute in the dark except for the very middle of summer. Weird to think of morning light as something to be lost.

People like permanent DST because the pattern of school and work they follow throughout their lives ingrains a very clear division between before work/school (the institution's time) and after work/school (my time).

People want more sunlight during "my time" waiting for the schoolbus or sitting in morning traffic before or after dawn makes no difference to most people because either way, that's the boring drudgery part of their day they have to get through to reach the potentially fun, fulfilling part of their day.

@uncledoomer I agree we breeders should assert dominance. But at the same time, if you tolerate or encourage the "wild, zany, etc" behavior in your children, don't expect to have any grandchildren. That, after all, is where Disney adults come from.

"The Pill" was a deliberate psyop. Many methods of effective contraception were known previously and most (rhythm, withdrawal, condoms) have the same 90%+ efficacy as the pill.

The narrative when it was released was "Science™️ has made chastity obsolete!" because that was the agenda of those developing it.

The E. Jean Carroll case against President Trump is one of the strangest civil cases in American history. The foundational problem is this: Carroll could not identify when the alleged incident occurred — not even the year with any precision.
That should have killed the case as dead as a skunk on the road right there.
Without a temporal anchor, no defendant — regardless of guilt or innocence — can mount an alibi defense. Trump, who has maintained detailed calendars and staff records for decades, was denied the most basic tool of self-defense: the ability to establish where he was. That is not a technicality. It is a due process violation at the constitutional level.
Then Carroll produced the one piece of physical evidence she claimed corroborated her account — the dress she wore during the alleged incident. It was subsequently established that the dress was designed after the incident could have occurred. The sole corroborating evidence falsified her timeline.
The case proceeded anyway.
The resulting verdict was then weaponized in a defamation suit — where Trump was held liable for denying the allegation, while being procedurally barred from defending against it, because it was already "proven" in another court, regardless how flawed the procedure was. He was punished, in effect, for asserting his own innocence.
Compounding everything: coordinated professional and physical threats so thoroughly intimidated the legal community that attorneys refused these cases regardless of available fees. When you systematically destroy a defendant's ability to retain counsel of choice, you forfeit the right to a legitimate verdict.
An allegation is not evidence. Process without substance is not law. And a verdict produced under these conditions carries no legitimate authority — whatever its formal status.

Not only is it the right move to investigate Carroll, but every other person involved as well. Trump is owed serious damages here, and there may be a few people who belong in prison for their roles in the case.

Knowing the Brits, they'll probably eventually cave and get air conditioning. But it will probably be some totally nonsensical centralized system, where you get air piped into your house by the N.A.S., National Air Service.

It will be considered genius and efficient at first, and then go broke in 10 years. They will also base their entire identity off of telling Americans they pay for AC.
