Kind of like taxes. Are governments the most "successful" businesses in countries because they get paid no matter the quality of their work and no matter how much money they lose?

Actually gameplay video, warts and all? I'll take it. I can't stand when I'm on Steam and I have to click through 3 or 4 videos to find one that contains actual gameplay. It's even worse on Humble monthly (which now that I have a minute I should probably go ahead and cancel). There I'll see games I've never heard of and clicking on the description and watching the video still leaves me wondering what genre the game is and what it's even about.

thestonewoman[🍰] 117 points 1 day ago This has been something that has pissed me off for years! There’s no such thing. I am actually really curious as to where the phrase originated, because Jewish and Christian values are frequently diametrically opposed to each other - which isn’t surprising, given that Christianity’s founding ethos was basically, “we aren’t going to follow any of those rules any more”.

This is peak irony. "Those rules" of course being the rampant homophobia, ethnocentrism, and genocide that the OP is complaining about being associated with. Having read the entire bible, the Old Testament people frequently came across as a bunch of assholes but the New Testament Jesus followers seemed like nicer folks. That being said, I too hate the saying "judeo-christian." And there's another saying common in these parts that is versatile and fits perfectly here: "stop giving money to people who hate you."

I haven't really followed this case and only have a general overview of what happened. But why did the guy who just recorded it get in trouble? Can anyone explain like I'm five/retarded/redditor?

But we all know he's probably sitting back somewhere with scantily clad trannies feeding him grapes.

Just two weeks to flatten the curve. Just wear your masks and this will all go away. Just sit home and don't go out or go to church. Socially distance. But maybe beta testing this cocktail of drugs will be the answer we've been looking for.

And didn't Biden claim that if you got the vaccine you would NOT get infected? I personally know two people that got infected despite having the vaccine. Impeachment when?

Speaking with Washington D.C.-based think tank Atlantic Council, Bourla said there is a “very small” group of people that purposefully circulate misinformation on the shots, misleading those who are already hesitant about getting vaccinated.

You always see this where people say "oh it's just a 'small number of bad actors' causing trouble." If it's such a small number then why make a big deal out of it? Just like the "very small" group of Russians who somehow swayed the election and got Trump elected. I think it's a very small group that's projecting much.

We all know the real issue is we can't have anyone cutting into this fat cat's bottom line. FJB might have shut down those oil pipelines, but he erected one going into your pants sucking the money straight out and into this motherfucker's pockets. But don't worry, you don't have to do anything, just don't do question the legitimacy of vaccine mandates or why you and your fellow taxpayers are making billionaires and paying deadbeats to sit on their asses. And no, when you get fired for not getting a vaccine you won't be making bank because of it. It does NOT work that way.

At first the article says:

Jane Doe told Missoula police officers that she had fallen asleep in Mohmand's hotel room and been awoken to find him on top of her, according to the court document.

Then the article says:

Doe and a female friend had met Mohmand and two other unidentified men at a bar called Badlander, where they left in search of a fictitious house party, Monday's affidavit of probable cause says. She went back to Mohmand's hotel room where they had sexual intercourse, with Doe feeling that he "wasn't going to let me leave" because he "held her to the bed by placing his hand around her neck and using force to do so," the filing says. Doe "had significant red bruising and red marks on the side of her neck," the document adds.

So she was worried Mo wasn't going to let her leave so she takes a nap and then wakes up with him doing what he does best? Or did they have some fun and then she went to sleep and woke up with him already starting round 2?

But what I really want to know is, why did Yahoo file this under sports?

There are all kinds of rumors about the circumstances surrounding Benny's abdication too.

Like what? Not a Catholic, but I'm curious. Growing up it seemed like John Paul II had always been pope and always would be. I had read Angels & Demons by Dan Brown (don't judge) and all of the rituals involved with electing a new pope seemed so weird and bizarre, and I never thought I'd live to see shit like that happen in real life. Then JP died and it seemed so shocking like a once in a lifetime event. So imagine my surprise when Benny ragequit. Electing a guy so old seemed strange and I figured he would have died before stepping down.

There are. I used to be big into audio books years and years ago. I listened to LOTR on audio book and it was pretty good. I just remember lots and lots of singing. This was SO long ago the release I listened to probably predated Audible and was probably ripped from CD or tape. So I'm sure they've probably redone multiple versions in every English speaking country in much higher quality since then. There are also the BBC radio shows which I've heard are good but I've never listened to them.

Because for the past 8 years her career has been going nowhere. Now that Fukunaga is in the news with the new Bond movie she probably felt she had to strike while the iron was hot.

When I was a kid I was playing on a playground and we had this little platform thing where you walked on it and had to balance yourself. One kid fell off and started crying and looked around and saw me standing there and suddenly pointed at me and accused me of pushing him. I think of that moment every time I see someone just suddenly pointing and making accusations for whatever reason. Now I'm not saying Fukunaga isn't a scumbag, but EIGHT fucking years?

I remember watching the very first episode and I thought it was slow paced and very boring. Then after months and months of people talking about how dark and "Lovecraftian" it was I decided to give it another chance. I ended up really liking it and I've since watched all of the seasons. Season 1 was really great, season 2 was good (but definitely the worst of the three seasons), and season 3 was pretty good though not as good as season 1. It's very slow paced and possibly even boring at times, but the atmosphere of the show was good. In light of recent events like the wealthy and their parties with Epstein (which definitely happened) and Pizza Gate (who fucking knows), the whole background plots were really prescient and creepy. I think you (or anyone else reading this comment) should definitely give it another chance. I don't remember it being woke. Though of course I have no stake if you do or don't and I definitely don't want any of you spending money on any media if you can avoid it especially with the way Joe Biden and his handlers are doing their goddamndest to destroy the economy. But I digress.

And if I may again be a contrarian bastard, I actually liked Casino Royale but thought Quantum of Solace was not only one of the worst Bond films I've seen, it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. As for this new one? I'll watch it one of these days but I'm in no hurry.

Hoo boy. She was just absolutely crushed. I thought she looked wonderful and has been passing amazingly, but now she won't stop asking me how she 'knew'.

Does anyone else find the concept of "passing" ridiculously absurd? Like they just have to fit the toxic masculinity male gaze view of an attractive woman in order to be an actual "real" woman. There are plenty of ugly real women out in the wild. And some of them actually look like real men even though they aren't trans. There are tomboy girls and more effeminate boys and that's just how people are. But yet the trannies have to play dress up and look beautiful even though they overwhelmingly can't. If they are a woman inside then they should accept themselves as they are. Even if that means they have a dick, a beard, a pear-sized adam's apple, or are ridiculously ugly.

As for getting surgery to change their appearance, they are getting cosmetic surgery to change their appearance and most of the time they aren't fooling anyone. And kids are unfiltered and sociopathic enough to give zero fucks. A kid would tell their coworker they smelled like BO instead of politely shutting up like most adults do. If I wear platform shoes because I'm really short people are going to point and laugh. Children would notice it too. Children are going to stare at someone horribly scared from a fire or a vet who was wounded in service. And they are going to stare at someone who weighs 400 pounds. Attention seeking freaks and people who are just different from others for whatever reason good or bad are going to draw attention. Why do trannies think they are special?

She can't logically condemn men for not wanting to play a rigged game that they'll lose no matter what. So she has to resort to shaming them and emotionally manipulating them.

I wanted to grumble and rhetorically ask, then what the fuck are men supposed to be doing according to this miserable bitch?

I figured I'd find the article myself and read it and post a reply fit for a king. I figured I'd break down her retarded points and mock them. But I can't do that because her fucking article doesn't even say anything. It's just her humble-bragging about being fit. And Nintendo shouldn't advertise video games in The Tube because the man-babies who play video games are riding around on scooters.

If I posted an equivalent newspaper article complaining about onlyfans e-whores and titty streamers and Real Grown Women should get off their asses and get real jobs instead of begging men for money online, I'd get called out as being a misogynist. Why is this shit even allowed? It makes no points it serves no purpose, it's just her complaining.

And you know good and well she's gonna get away with it.

She portrayed herself like she was Jesus descending from the heavens to save humanity up until the house of cards fell. And yet NOW she is a victim? Just wtf was she doing this whole time if literally any and everyone was really pulling the strings and truly in charge? At best she's a sociopath. At worst people propped her up as an example of a Successful Woman despite her being a sociopath. Either way, I wish they'd make an example of her but again, they won't.

Definitely. And I'm old enough to remember them going after Trump's young, underage son. Meanwhile, Biden's grown-ass adult son is apparently off-limits no matter what kind of hijinks he gets involved in.

It's disturbing on so many levels.

Like is this such a big problem that they have to run roughshod over everyone's digital rights? How many of those people can there possibly be out there?

Or is it a case of the upper echelons in these industries being so obsessed with this shit because it's all they think about that they feel the need to harvest it for their own personal gain. Like maybe they're collecting it or seeking out their fellow travelers and fellow perverts for recruitment/blackmail/actual prosecution.

Or maybe it's just a slippery slope where they get their foot in the door with "well you aren't with one of those people are ya buddy? otherwise why not let us do what we want and no one gets hurt. nothing to hide nothing to worry about etc" Then it's like others have mentioned. If you made a meme about vaccinations or you poked fun at Biden you just made their shit list. They just go after whatever they want and whomever they want for whatever reason they want.

I say good for them.

To everyone use still using that spyware, copy that dance move!

Am I just paranoid, or does anyone else see a problem with how all these naive young people just record their faces and voices and all of their metadata and hand it over to TikTok? Not even getting into deep fakes using peoples likenesses and voice, but just think about how much data they're scraping up. Just creeps me the fuck out.

I know, that's not what this article is about, but fuck TikTok.

So which is it? I thought white supremacists believed they were more evolved than other races. Hence why calling people monkeys or apes was so racially controversial. So is this article about attacking Christians/Creationism? It certainly looks that way. It's not about evolution except as a byproduct of attacking those evil whites and their evil religions.

In literal interpretations of the Christian Bible, white skin was created in God's image.

I thought the "Christian bible" was the New Testament? Do they mean the Judeo-Christian bible? Where does it talk about skin color in the bible anyways? I thought ancient peoples had no concept of race until Americans created it to justify slavery of blacks (and subjugation of the Irish and Italians)?

As the biblical story goes, the curse or mark of Cain for killing his brother was a darkening of his descendants' skin.

Where in the bible does it say this? I grew up in the Bible Belt and I've never met anyone who actually believes this and never saw this pointed out chapter and verse. I've met plenty of racists of all colors, creeds, religions, species, but none who became that way because of muh bible.

For too long, a vocal minority of creationists has hijacked children’s education, media and book publishing.

And for far too long a vocal minority of r-words have hijacked children’s education, media and book publishing, as well as science education.

It’s common knowledge that some school boards, especially in the South, have fought long and hard to keep evolution out of school textbooks.

When I was in school I remember flipping through my biology textbook and seeing references to evolution and I was curious as to how people would react when we got to it. We learned about it just like anything else and no one gave a shit.

If you go on Amazon and look up “children’s books on evolution” you will find about 10–15 relevant titles. This is in contrast to the hundreds of children’s books on other scientific subjects such as chemistry, astronomy and other less controversial subjects. I found only one book on evolution for preschoolers, called Grandmother Fish. The author had to self-fund the book through Kickstarter.

Maybe kids don't care? A kid gets a chemistry set they can do all kinds of cool things. A kid learns astronomy they can go outside and look at the stars and see constellations. A kid gets an electronics hobby kit they can build a radio. How can a curious kid apply what they learn from a children's book on evolution? Is it evil white people, Christian creationists, the patriarchy, the boogeyman etc. etc. etc. preventing kids from wanting books about evolution and not because they serve no practical value?

Why does it seem like every article like this about evolution always brings out people who have an axe to grind against Christianity? How can religious nut jobs be expected to leave religion out of the classroom when these fucking monkeys can't? 😏

Which is a shame because he is quite talented even still and for the most part has kept his politics out of his works.

Remember the whole thing with Kick Ass 2 a few years back? After making the movie he said he couldn't support it because of how violent it was because Sandy Hook happened.

Luckily, a couple years before that I had went down a rabbit hole of watching old clips of him on YouTube (fire marshal Bill and when he is a barbarian woman) and then went and re-watched a lot of his old movies that I had loved as a kid. And yes, GP was right, Ace Ventura was hilarious. I even laughed my ass off thinking about how people would get triggered by the humor in modern times (and this was several years ago before things had gotten as bad as they are now). He was very talented and made some very funny stuff back in the 90s. Nowadays though it's just sad. I would have a hard time laughing because of how he really is. Still haven't watched Sonic. I want a morbidly obese HAES Robotnik even if he is a cis white man.

You can see the wood for the trees here. When a company tells you that you need something, and it’s “for your own good,” and hey, they’re just on a humanitarian aid mission to save you from yourself, one should be highly skeptical. Microsoft is pushing this hard; we can even see them citing entirely dubious statistics.

Hey that sounds familiar regarding something entirely different.

The good news is he does catch the guy. The bad news is the show keeps going from there.

There was all kinds of conspiracy stuff going on as to who the real killer was like there was a big secret cover up. Really crazy shit. The show wasn't that bad for what it was but that particular episode really stood out.
