LOGIC💣

Maybe a homeless man pointed a cat toy at the plane and blinded the pilot.

Speaking of worms eating brains, there was this experiment where scientists trained a worm to find food. Then, they killed the worm, blended its brains or brain equivalent, and fed it to other worms. When those worms were put into the same environment, they already knew how to find the food, apparently having learned it from eating the other worm’s brains.

So, it’s possible that this worm ate some of RFK Jr’s brains and that the worm went insane as a result.

The idea that a worm could eat a small portion of RFK Jr’s brain and cause him significant mental impairment is laughable. He wasn’t using his brain in the first place. Certainly the worm got the worst of the exchange.

Become a crab. Become an anteater.

I would call those normal footprints, not inverse footprints. We call both additive and subtractive marks left by feet “footprints.”

If you were to step in ink, and then step onto paper, that would create a footprint.

If you were to step in drying concrete, that would also create a footprint.

It’s simple racism and Nazi tactics. His final words in the video summed it up nicely. “Yesterday was… I don’t feel like it’s freedom.”

How long until we get to the point where we’re hiding persecuted people in our attics?

You know the paradox of tolerance? The idea that if you believe in tolerance, then you have to be intolerant of intolerance.

I think this general concept is applicable in many areas. Like, it makes sense to be nonviolent except in preventing more violence.

And in this case, we should all make a giant conspiracy to destroy the places where conspiracy theorists talk to each other.

A concerned community member reported that Council President John T. Cannon was leading Wicomico County Council members and attendees in the Lord’s Prayer prior to the Pledge of Allegiance at every meeting. FFRF was informed that multiple citizens had asked the council to end the practice, to no avail.

This is a problem. The Council President should not be leading a Christian prayer. I’d say that they should also get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance. What’s the purpose of pledging allegiance to a flag or even to the republic itself? That’s just nationalism. Depending on interpretation, you might as well be pledging allegiance to the current administration.

If they wanted to pledge allegiance to the US Constitution, I might be more amenable. It would still be stupid and meaningless, though.

On one occasion last fall, Council Member James Winn even read from the bible during his comments, exhorting that “everything is right here, the answers, this is truth.” He then read multiple passages from the bible, giving his interpretations. He concluded by saying, “I know that not everyone here is a Christian and that’s OK, I’ll pray for you. There’s only one way, there’s only one way, and that’s through Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior.”

If it wasn’t a council member, but an outside preacher, and they let people pray before the meetings without favoring a specific faith, then it would be more legal. Still crazy bullshit, though. Of course, in this case, it was a council member, so it’s a complete no-go.

Now that I think about it, why does Trump tend to praise countries like Russia and China, when they haven’t even given him any Nobel Prizes?

Since this has been cross-posted, I thought it would be good to summarize the other conversations:

In other news, Oxfam finds that water is wet, the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic, and that bears shit in the woods.

The article says that his condition was stabilized, so he wasn’t murdered.

Also, according to this article, the retirement info you have can’t be right.

Meyer has been judge in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 for 12 years. He’s in the final year of his second six-year term. Meyer, a Democrat, announced in December that he didn’t plan to run for a third term in 2026.

The election they’re talking about is in 2026, which makes sense, because if his term was up in January, it would be strange for an elected official to announce his retirement in December.

Also, I obviously don’t want to make any conclusions about motives, but I can’t help but see the word “Democrat” in that quote from above.

ICE is deporting her back to France.

Prosecute and imprison ICE for their crimes. When they get out of prison, take away their passports and turn them into refugees.

He seems like the sort whose pee and poo just goes straight into a collection bag of some sort.

I only got four hours of sleep last night, and it’s miserable after only one night.

You’re not a hypocrite for following the current law and also wanting to change the same law.

One opinion is about what an individual’s best choice is, given the situation.

The other is about what laws would be best for a society to have.

What’s best for an individual is not always the same as what’s best for a group or society.

I have brought great shame upon myself.

What do you expect from a country that replaced Trump with Trump?

Since Jesus doesn’t know how to drive, you’d think he’d take one of the car’s four wheels rather than its steering wheel.

Glancing over the rest of the comments, I don’t see somebody explicitly pointing out how we know Trump is full of shit and also dumb as shit in this letter.

First, he campaigned on “America First,” so he never felt an obligation to think “purely” of peace. It’s just a lie.

Second, he’s outright saying that he previously was giving the Nobel Prize committee an insane amount of control over American foreign policy because he wanted to be a Nobel Peace Prize. This is a dumb as shit thing to admit.

Third, is it Russia or China who we’re worried about taking over Greenland? Does Trump not understand that these are two different countries? Surely if he is working on some sort of intel, he’d specifically choose one of them to be worried about. I think this demonstrates that there’s no real intel about this, and he’s simply lying.

Fourth, why isn’t he waiting until Russia or China actually do something? If they actually did something militarily in Greenland, then America could swoop in and save the day. And then, he’d also have some actual reasoning behind statements that he could use to justify taking control of Greenland.

Also, NATO has done tons of stuff for the US. Why does America have the largest military budget in the world? It’s because America has chosen to maintain military presence all over the world. NATO has always supported American foreign policy.

Everything Trump is saying in this letter reeks of bullshit.

Is Hitler the queen of the hive in your eyes or Peter?

The question is whether you can commit genocide/xenocide and still be forgiven, and it’s a theme that the series touches on over and over. The most famous genocide today is the Holocaust, so critics of Card phrase it as whether you can forgive Hitler.

I’m sure that Card has spoken specifically about this subject (whether he thinks people should forgive Hitler), as well, and while I think I remember what he said, I’m not so sure that I would simply say it.

But he’s got a history of making some provocative statements about his beliefs.

Like, he has said that an important part of his books is to spread Mormon beliefs. I remember, after reading the Ender series, I read The Worthing Saga, and midway through, felt it necessary to go look up which religion he belonged to, just because he made it so obvious that he was criticizing Christian religions. (If I remember correctly, I didn’t have to look hard to find his religion, because it was in his biography on the book jacket.)
