I don’t see any mention of changes to the wheel

As far as where to get the material, conveniently enough a church with $100 billion doesn’t usually install security cameras and a few windows are usually left unlatched from Sunday school kids trying to get fresh air.

I finally got to a bedroom picture where it looked like painted walls, then zoomed in to see it was carpet. My only explanation is Mormonism, as I have only ever seen carpeted walls in my chapel growing up. Mind you, that was rough spiky carpet seemingly installed to discourage sleeping against the wall.

This is how Zoom works. The call was dropping in and out, and participants are shown in the order of when they joined or rejoined.

One of the many ways Trump is broken, he is incapable of laughter. The closest he’ll get is to scoff, or say ‘that was funny’ after mocking someone.

There’s the context of Trump riding the wave of right wing rage with his claims Obama was born in Kenya. Shortly after he paid a bunch of hourly extras to form a crowd as he descended a golden escalator to launch his 2016 campaign claiming Mexico was sending rapists, and a cadre of WWE fans, white supremacists, credulous evangelicals, and reprogrammable meatbags who tuned into Fox News decided politics was interesting again.

For most of these people if you start asking which years America was great versus not great they might admit some of the Bush years were sub-par (because of those OTHER people who hate freedom), and preach about the good ol’ days when we drank water from a hose. Where everybody treated each other right, unless you were a person of color in a sundown town. They will retcon any facts you present and claim you are cancelling them and it’s no fair remembering the past, as they have been conditioned to believe faith is a virtue. The Bible’s “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” fucked up my brain for too many years of my life. I wish it was easier to fix this, but a useful quote I remember when I break off most discussions with my dad is,

If someone doesn’t value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic? -Sam Harris

For a fun science experiment, you can ask friends and family whether the knives whisper to them as well. If you are rigurous in your methods you may learn whether the source is the knife, or your brain, or according to that one relative, Illuminati broadcasts from the COVID microchip.

This is the result of indoctrinating children into magical thinking and giving them guns.

Living in a red state it feels like screaming into a void, as unfortunately the only discernable desires from the right wing base are “please tread on me, corporations” and “please shield my kids from new ideas,” with an endless supply of pundits and politicians selling that shtick.

Yet somehow when 100% of Republicans voted against they are held blameless as they are expected to be fully servile to the corporate class, and only Democrats have the obligation to pass laws.

I can’t agree with this more, thinking coworkers are owed your attention especially during breaks reeks of narcissism. My job doesn’t include or train me for providing therapy to old men who exclusively watch Fox News in the break room and debate which minority is to blame for the world scaring them. Which is why after trying to add reason to these conversations a few times eating lunch in your car can be a healthy option.

On that topic, in my estimation it is going to be a far worse time for everybody if we normalize a violent coup whenever Fox News radicalizes a critical mass of reprogrammable meatbags. After January 6th, even conservatives were briefly able to condemn attempted treason before they found enough room to stand in the shadow of their dear leader. Most Americans did not have a great perception of the state of government, however I’ve never actually met anyone who believes rioters should have been allowed to break through barricades to kill members of congress.

Promotors and apologists for genocide seem to believe “rooting out the Nazis” is a claim they can make with no evidence. This ignores the entire point that most people could not give less of a shit how you label the indiscriminate murder of civilians.

Looks like they would need to bulldoze it level and I assume add some fill dirt to even out the grade, I don’t know how many winters such a road would last though.

Ugh…

Nobody is giving the man credit for pushing past his own bigly moral qualms to do something he previously thought inexcusable. This is what it means to be a mighty man of valor

These discussions also can’t ignore any time a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans declare the border is open and then refuse to do anything about it because it would violate their primary directive of obstructing Democratic presidents.

And then the judge clapped and the Loch Ness Monster paid about tree fiddy
