Okay, but how did Jesus know where it would be painted when he was making the seating chart?

I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned this, but there are two religious events that demonstrate God is displeased with people. Floods and plagues. There are more than that, but those are essential. If you were a Christian in 2020, COVID should have been the most obvious portent that God doesn’t like the way things are going in the world.
If you actually believed in that shit, you would have dumped Trump immediately and never looked back.
But Christians don’t really believe in the Bible. They believe in whatever their leaders say. They don’t follow the instructions of God. They follow the instructions of corrupt preachers and politicians.
By their own standards that they usually apply to other people, but not themselves, there would be almost no Christians who have a good afterlife to look forward to.
Why did Jesus and all of his disciples sit on the same side of the table at the last supper?
If a car hits something stationary, it is always the driver’s fault, with a few uncommon exceptions, such as if somebody hit the car first, pushing it into that other thing, or if the car in front of them plows into it without slowing down, and they don’t have time to react. It is one of a driver’s most basic responsibilities not to hit something that is just sitting there in the road.
For me, lately, it’s literally been, “Oh shit. It’s 2am. I’ll just finish this chapter quickly.”
Then, “Fuck, it’s 3am. I forgot about the chapter thing. I basically need to put the book down this instant or I’m a failure as a human. I can not be awake at 4.”
Finally put it down at 4 and sleep at 4:15. Failure as a human.

“Charlie Kirk says gun deaths are ‘unfortunately’ worth it to keep 2nd Amendment,” read the headline of an article Michael shared. He did not add any additional comment on it.
Senator Blackburn (R-TN) then pinged the school about that post, and the professor was fired despite the fact that he had tenure and couldn’t legally be fired like that. So he used the legal system to find a remedy.


What they did in Venezuela was so reprehensible that this is really the only possible defense. You can’t murder a bunch of innocent people to capture a drug trafficker and think that you get the moral high ground. If they can arrest Maduro and bring him to the US, then Venezuela should be able to arrest Trump for murder and bring him to Venezuela.
There is no moral high ground. There is no good outcome. This is just what happens when evil people gain control of the world’s most powerful military.


Add this to the mountains of evidence that these people don’t even practice what they preach.
Jesus befriended prostitutes. That’s the guy whose teachings they claim to follow.
I guess since Jesus was nice to people who modern Christians feel bigotry towards, they should target and ostracize Jesus next.

The confederate statues weren’t of the low-level soldiers who actually did the fighting. They were of generals and presidents and shit. Shitty people have already made shitty statues of Trump, so we’re already there.
The sad thing is that people don’t even argue points. I wish people who lacked knowledge and wisdom would argue. Instead, they just rebroadcast whatever propaganda they were fed most recently, untroubled by anything like critical thinking or introspection, and mostly unchallenged by their peers.


“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as soon as I finished an interview speaking on Venezuela, I was arrested – the only person arrested out of 200 people,” she told the outlet.
Imagine that. 200 protesters, but she was the only one obstructing a roadway. That must have been crazy. 199 protesters safely protesting and this one crazy lady out in the road. /s
I suspect that the louder a person talks, the more likely they are clueless about the topic.


One of the bills, to provide clean water to rural areas in Colorado, if I remember correctly, was passed nearly unanimously in both houses. To override the veto only requires 2/3 of both houses.
It’s just my personal opinion, but I think that if a lawmaker votes for legislation and then doesn’t vote to override the veto, and it’s not some extreme situation, they should be ejected from any government office and pilloried publicly for wasting taxpayer time and making light of their serious duties. Let the people pelt them with rotting fruit.
When I say “extreme situation”, I refer to the idea that some vital information comes out about the bill and that’s the only reason the President vetoes it, to get a better version of the bill passed. Like there might be some technically important legal jargon in the bill that seems otherwise innocuous, and nobody realizes at first. Or the situation the bill is supposed to address significantly changes in the meantime.


When charities go into underdeveloped areas and try to stimulate their economies, they don’t bring in big businesses and try to give everybody a job. They focus on doing things like giving out cheap loans to locals for them to create small businesses. They do this because that’s what actually works.

You can give it a set of instructions in the settings about how to act, so it wouldn’t be a part of the conversation. Even if they added a setting for this, it would do it in the same way.

You can already do this by telling it to act that way.


Isn’t there an old video somewhere of Hegseth saying that the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders?


They don’t give to charity and they don’t pay taxes, either. They just keep it all themselves.
It’s even worse than that because a table has four sides. So, it’s like a four-sided coin getting heads 14 times.
