That’s what I thought also at first, and then I was like wait a minute, C and N are already on the board, so there’s no way it could be cunt, lol.

I don’t know. I hear the rich are full of toxins and heavy metals.
Compost is usually used to feed vegetables, so I don’t think I would want that particular solution.
I would say it might be better to macerate and dehydrate the rich and then use the resultant rich jerky as part of a carbon barrier for depleted uranium and other hazardous radioactive wastes.

Don’t log splitters work incredibly slow?
That’s not really gonna chop people’s heads off, rather it would inexorably pinch their necks until their head falls off.
That’s pretty fucking gruesome.

If Daddy can just get one more college education’s worth of money out of you, he can make it all back. Trust him, he’s got it figured out. The machine is hot.

I have been accused of being the problem. I am not the problem.
I do not fit into the box you have provided for me.
Maybe you should take my measurement first.

I don’t go on dates with women I have not spent time getting to know.
It’s usually a week or more at least of conversation and seeing how we click before we meet up in person.
But that’s a me thing, something you would know if you knew me.
It is not my intent to dunk on you or on anyone else. I would appreciate it if you would return the favor.

You don’t know me at all, so accusing me of being the problem is silly, lol.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 week ago:
You make a good point, but considering that the conversation is in English I don’t think you’d be too far out of the pale to assume that this is not in Asia, and in most English-speaking countries it’s not common to go on group dates before going on individual dates.
It does happen, and quite a bit, but not to the point where it’s common, I would say it’s at the very most uncommon.

Women are not fragile helpless creatures.
Going to a public place on a date is not something that you need to bring the whole crew for.
The way that he, (I’m assuming he), stated his response is inflammatory, but I agree with the concept behind it.
I cannot envision a path towards a healthy relationship that starts off with that much distrust, and if that were presented to me, I would assume that the two girls have conspired together to get free meals out of a simp rather than to actually start a relationship.
So that would be why it’s a no-go for me.

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 1 week ago:
He’s very much not.
I mean, using Jesus to recontextualize the Old Testament God definitely misses the mark. Jesus was here on a mission of mercy to cross the boundary between the sinful ape and the rising angel, and to bring as many people along with him as he could.
But once you’re grafted into the tree of Judaism through Christianity, you still have to abide by the rules of Judaism (with the exception that foods are no longer verbotan or whatever).
Jesus was an incredibly stern man who was very rigid and inflexible on his views because he had the eternal viewpoint.
He refused to perform am exorcism for a Samaritan woman’s daughter who was half Jewish because she wasn’t full Jewish even though she was perfectly faithful until she made such a hue and cry that she publically shamed him into it.
He would snap at his own friends if they said the wrong thing or failed to understand something because he didn’t effectively communicate it to them so that they would understand at the same level he did.
And I don’t hold any of these actions against him, he was on what should be the most important mission in all of human history, right?
But the modern Christianity teachings of Christ where he’s like buddy Jesus and he’s just a happy-go-lucky, I love everyone peace, love, and harmony dude is absolutely not the way he’s actually represented in the Bible by his closest followers.
It was not out of the realm of normalcy for him to do things like beating the fuck out of a temple full of salespeople.
But once again, the sheer stress of his every moment, the fact that if he told a lie, if he felt lust, envy, greed, selfishness, anything that even approximated a sin, it would destroy all of humanity, and himself in the process, must have been so stressful, that in a way, I believe it was a mercy that he died so young.
If Jesus had had to stick it out into his 80s, I don’t know.
Maybe he would have fallen along the way.

Yeah, the only reason I’m not a raving psychopath is that I continuously remind myself of the circle of influence.
There’s only so much that any of us have the ability to do.
There’s only so much that any of us have the ability to influence.
If you stop looking beyond that circle and only focus on the stuff inside the circle, you can have a lot more control over your daily life.
You can do things like block out news companies that only report on things that terrify you. There is other news out there.
The ones that are always telling you the scary things are doing it because they know you will reflexively keep your eyes glued on them and therefore see more ads and make them more money.
It is a fundamental human aspect. It’s just like PTSD, when something hurts us, we become more aroused, more aware of its existence, and we pay more attention to things that are like it, our pattern recognition brains kicking in, so that we can protect ourselves from the pain.
Hyper-vigilance towards evil is the default.
But if you remind yourself that there is some evil out there in the world that you can’t do a damn thing about, then it’s a lot easier to just dismiss it and ignore it.
It doesn’t make the evil okay. It’s just a reminder that you literally cannot stop murder rapes in Timbuktu if you do not live in Timbuktu and serve as a police officer.
If it’s not your responsibility, not your authority, not your ability to stop it, then don’t waste your energy on it and instead focus on decreasing the number of murder rapes in your local area by not murder raping people, you know?
And if you see a murder rape happening, attempt to intervene if it is within your capabilities.

For instance, the reason why minimum wage jobs do not have set work hours for most people is that having a constantly changing schedule that varies every single week makes it harder for people to do things that can break the cycle.
Things like, going to college or go to a trade school or participating in external events that would allow them to meet other people that could give them a leg up in the world.
Don’t blame your manager or even the regional manager of the story you work for. This policy is being passed down from on high. Your manager is simply forced to do it.
Chances are they are just in the slightly more profitable portion of the cycle. Their increased paycheck comes in part from gently oppressing their co-workers in service of their masters.

If you “became autistic” because of a vaccine, you were already autistic and you only became aware of and concerned about your autism after the correlation was presented to you.

None of the companies I have worked with do that. What we do instead is we disable their login, and we also make sure that the PC is encrypted, so that if they do not return it, they will, of course, have to pay us for it, and then they can wipe it and reinstall and do whatever they want to do with the physical hardware.
Most people just return the hardware. Actually, now that I think about it, I think only once did we have an issue with getting the hardware back and we had still ended up with the hardware back after like a nine month delay.
- Comment on Brigitte Macron to present scientific and photographic evidence to US court proving she’s a woman 3 weeks ago:
In legal terms from what I understand, it’s to verify that Candace knowingly and willingly made false statements, elevating the claims that she made from satire or humor or freedom of the press to slander.
Even though she’s saying these things about the French Prime Minister, the lawsuit is happening in America, so it has to meet America’s qualification standards in order to go through.
Proving that Frances First Lady is a woman by showing the pictures of her being pregnant, for instance, will verify that she is indeed a female born and therefore the statements that Candace made were intended to cause harm
