@NatHalberstadt Driving up midway, north of 635, it’s impossible to imagine those businesses existing in a villagey, walkable world.
Ppl like the idea of living in a college campus for the rest of their lives. Then feel shanked when society’s back kitchen doesn’t feel the dining room.
@extradeadjcb@tannerguzy Normal response is to recognize that the military does use color-of-the-day and then to also speculate about fall fashion choices. Omitting the first looks like you’re intentionally hiding it
Stay-home moms are the Uncle Toms of the American middle class. They generally provide for their children and husband better, remain more loyal, are less maintenance, and have better joie de vivre than their “I work hard for this!l striving counterparts in the workforce.
@Babygravy9 Revitalizing the heartland happens when urban elites take over rural towns. It shouldn’t be this way, but rurals demonstrate their severe incompetence. And urbans have more money, better oversight, clearer agenda. 5th gen truck drivers on city council can’t compete.
@churrascooooo@SlumRNA_Dog I don’t care if the if the kid does or doesn’t sell carpets. (Everything he learned could be handed to him by grok and digested in two days). The silly part is the mom is like “I *refused* to help him”. My son invested in livestock. I’ll help him as much as I can
@owroot Everytime I see Jill’s posts, it’s the most wine mom, screech at mom of 4 in the grocery about you know how to stop that, kind of post. “Textured lives” apparently ≠ cousins, siblings, great grandma, shared sacrifice, seeing dad give up on a personal ambition so you can advance
@revenant_MMXX Donald 75” + Melania 71” = 146”
+ 5” bc boy = 151”
Divide by 2 = 75.5”
Child is within +- 2” of this, so +2” = 77.5” (6’ 5.5”)
But Barron Trump is 6’9”
@PaulSkallas Ppl don’t realize that rippetoe is marketing to 50 yr olds who can afford his trainers. What wise helps 50s? Sprints and fasting. It��s ridiculous for consumers like the OP to fault a brand for marketing their product. It’s Fredo Corleone levels of victimhood.
@owroot I think it also gives a visual of wider shoulders, narrower waist. The untucked, long shirt tail guy looks like a Persian merchant. The rest look good. But the color contrast at the elbow/forearm makes the upper torso register as broader.
Also hand/forearm vascularity reveal
Yes and Cherry picking through Bible verses is also a very unconvincing basis for this. Much better is a ln approach based in Catholic natural law, which recognizes what things are particularly, what their good is, what is due them, from whom, to what degree, etc.
The most important Biblical verses and stories for the coming fight for the West will be those that assert particularity against Christianity’s universalist tendencies. Christianity must either rediscover particularity or it will remain a handmaiden of the Great Replacement.
@RettCopple Some abuelitas give homemade tamales to statues of Mary. Some teach ther grandchildren about the mid-trib rapture. Whatever. It’s all very cute, the devotional tics of women who came to faith with these features attached.
@bronzeagemantis@GC_Strategos The WV coal miners just want a new Ford Expedition. They cannot risk much.
The Frisco Tx conservatives want merely a slight edge in neighborhood, school district, position, tax rate, or placement of their kids into a nice school. They are risk averse by nature
Cannot underestimate how this kind of thing undermines the faith. Ministers having teehee silly side benefits and posting about it is 100% self-centered, and in a most unflattering way. They make their job as uniquely situated agents of sacramental grace (*I* can’t consecrate communion, but they can) a show of the most puerile fringe benefits. These ppl repel both strangers and honest ppl who know them well. Being cutesy about these sacred things mocks the saints and winks at unbelievers that none of this actually matters. They’ll argue , “can’t a guy be a lil silly? Jesus told jokes, my guy.” They never think that they should change, even tho they have zero true fruit after years of “ministry”. The fruit they have is a nonstop paycheck and a few cherished likes from closeted gay men in the notifications.
