I wish they made it even marginally possible to get a job like I’m so fucking sorry I don’t have a rare but also highly demanded skillset, an agreeable disposition, and the ability to survive off of three nickels a week I’m soooo sorry

I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.

He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense

Y'know I'm so glad someone reminded me of this. Because this was also discussed.

My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Libertarian Viking Neighbor's response was that people consensually hurt each other all the time, and "there's like a whole community about that, with the acronym the one that starts with a B" And his reasoning was that if the mother was consenting to bring attacked by the baby, it in fact wasn't violent and negative because there was consent.

He brought up people consensually hurting each other, didn't go for one of the obvious answers like boxing or body mods or something, no he went STRAIGHT TO BDSM and he DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE ACRONYM

“scientists don’t want you know” is a phrase that always cracks me up because if you actually meet a scientist they will be shaking and crying like an overstimulated chihuahua with the need to let you know

In the latter half of the 19th century, Mormons scoured all of Western Europe looking for the dumbest, blondest, most gullible white people to join their cult and relocate to Utah, hopefully bringing their marry-able daughters with them. Many modern Mormons are descended from this stock which is why they are fluorescently blond and have British and Scandinavian surnames.

I don’t know if being easily scammed is genetic but that is also a defining feature of modern Mormons.

If they weren't easy to scam they probably wouldnta wound up in a cult

No one is immune to falling prey to a cult and believing you are immune to cults is the easiest way to fall victim to a cult. BUT I will admit there are some cults that look worse from the outside than others and I cannot find an angle that makes Mormonism look enticing to the everyman. Hence why they’ve got to send out proselytizers everywhere all the time. No one randomly looks up churches in their area and thinks “Hmm. Maybe I’ll check out the LDS church.” because everything about it sucks ass. Racist scripture. No coffee. Special underwear. Sealed to your loser spouse forever.

i tried explaining to this girl at a party once how i could be gay and asexual at the same time and it basically boils down to never being into anyone but like once a year i’ll find a man attractive. and she was like “so what am i if i only like girls, and i’ve never found any of my boyfriends attractive and and i just wanna do cocaine all the time?” i was like “you’re a lesbian with a coke addiction?” and she was like “woooooah”. she broke up with her boyfriend that night and had a threesome with two girls in the bathtub. rebecca if you’re out there, i hope you’re going places. well, not far, since you’re electronically tagged. but spiritually.

it’s so goddamn weird to watch my career end right in front of my eyes because of AI. and i really liked writing software.

Am enthralled by this visualization NASA shared of Artemis II's path through space. The most mathematically accurate little dance. <3

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then

I’m not Christian, I don’t go to church anymore, and my pastor died, but when he was alive I’d sometimes go to his sermons and I remember one time he said “it feels good to hate, but we know that it isn’t allowed, so when we’re told that we’re allowed to hate someone we get so excited that we forget we’re supposed to love”, and if my humble atheist ass might borrow some church talk I’d like to perhaps submit that

teaboot

Anyhow sometimes on the day to day I feel disgust or revulsion and I have to ask myself “is this a danger to anyone at all or am I just looking for something I’m allowed to hate” and a solid 98/100 times it’s the latter so once again thank you pastor D

views aside, the bible (as a book) has some real good shit in there that can be cherry picked. give it a shot, that’s what hateful people do with the bible to make others suffer.
