"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.

History degree day 1: the past is so compelling to me. I just love learning about how our ancestors lived. and it’s so interesting how many of them had a fundamentally alien yet perhaps ultimately relatable in context mindset to our own. maybe one day I can begin to understand it?

CR: and even so you broke the law? ANT: yes, since that law was not inspired by God, and since any law that doesn't uphold faith or guarantees peace in the afterlife is illegal. and i don't recognize the authority of a godless degenerate who denies God and the traditional values given by God.

vs.

CR: and even so you committed this crime? ANT: yes, because that law was not valid, and does not uphold justice for all which is an unalienable right. and i don't think one human being has the right to override the basic human rights of others, since we are all equal under the law.

vs.

CR: and still you were so bold as to overstep the norm? ANT: for not from Zeus was this decree to me. and not of that kind from Justice and the gods below are the laws established for men. and not did i think your decree had such strength, that someone death-doomed can override the unwritten and unfailing norms of gods.

[basileater]

ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

[basileater]

many people in these notes are revealing how they truly don't believe afab people are capable of beating amab people at Any sports due to their fragile bird bones delicate skin and and trying to make it seem like i'm feeding afab people to lions in the coliseum. you people are not only wrong but more importantly you are Stupidt
