- Comment on Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI: 1 hour ago:
Which of the Epstein files indicate a criminal offense requiring an arrest? I’ve seen so many of Epstein emails with comments like “WE NEED TO ARREST EVERYONE!” attached to a photo of Epstein with his goddaughter on his lap.
Like… Epstein was already arrested… and it does not appear he trafficked minors to anyone. Am I missing a key email somewhere?

It’s very unlikely Joseph was in his 70s. Neither of their ages are mentioned. Common estimates for Mary are 13-14, and Joseph being in late teens or early 20s.

Instead of taking his virgin daughters, the mob wanted the men (angels). Pretty demoralizing for his daughters. Lot’s daughter may be the first recorded femcels, which would explain their desperate attempt at getting pregnant by their father.

She was pubescent, and thus irrelevant to pedophilia.
- Comment on Praise Be 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think the Bible talks about child brides. Without that, none of those are related to pedophilia…
- Comment on Where *does* the money come from? 2 weeks ago:
It’s ultimately about money though. If they believed ceding power/control to workers would get them more money, they’d do it. Workers are rarely invested in corporate success unless their pay is also tied to it. And even then, they’re not nearly as invested as the founders and initial investors.
- Comment on Where *does* the money come from? 2 weeks ago:
How did society get in the equation? If they’re maximizing the wellbeing of their workers, how are non-workers (society) benefitting?
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 2 months ago:
Trump meets with Putin and is nice to him: “Trump is Putin’s bitch, look at him!”
Mamdani meets with Trump and stands at his desk like an obedient puppy: “Wow, our hero really charmed him with his immense rizz! Trump’s a coward!”
Politics is so braindead. 😩
- Comment on After Today's meeting where Trump fell in love with Mamdani, this is MAGA tomorrow morning. 2 months ago:
I don’t know if this is some sort of joke, but that’s not an agreement. That’s Trump not wanting a convoluted political beating around the bush, which is what Mamdani was about to do. Such a response would feed the media, but just saying yes and Trump shrugging it off sabotages the media’s obvious attempt of pitting them against each other.

There’s no way you people would think she’s racist if she wasn’t transphobic.
She was very accepting of Hermione being cast as a black girl. Seaman was just used as comedic relief in the movies, much moreso than in the books, with his magical mistakes causing explosions being primarily when he was a kid. He was loyal and high achieving character.
Meanwhile, the blonde character who uses the offense slur “mudblood” is the childhood villain for most the books. Yet she is racist for this somehow too, I imagine.

With a centrally controlled food supply, a misstep can lead to there literally not being enough food. You know this is different and this post is disingenuous.
More people die from obesity than starvation. There are tons of options for free food. Nobody is going to starve to death.

When 1.6 came out I was stubborn and refused to install Steam which was needed for it. But I eventually did and it eventually grew on me even though recoil and everything is a bit different. Still using my 22 year old steam account.

It’s that way for a good 3 months.

Finally a place to park a car is inconvenient, but locking up a bike someone isn’t?
And you must live within walking distance of a train.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 4 months ago:
Seriously. Last winter here was -25 C. Miserable for bike rides.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 4 months ago:
Those same vehicles also have a 4-wheel model that’s pretty nice.
- Comment on Anon finds a plot hole 4 months ago:
Trains and bikes are much more inconvenient. Though bikes are good for close proximity.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Using what definition of irony?
A situation is ironic if it defies expectation. Like how Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray.
Kirk being killed by a leftist extremist, who thought he was a fascist, using a gun, is pretty much in line with how you’d expect him to die.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
True. Most were against the violence, but many supported it.
Also, the country was founded using political violence.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
He was reckless, no doubt. Being around a dangerous mob always is.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.
Very true.
Rittenhouse traveled all the way to some far off city he had no interest in. Sure, his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin live there. Sure, he stayed with his friend who lived there. But otherwise, he only went there because he’s racist. That’s why he shot a couple white people.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
My personal feelings do not inform this argument. What I say is wrong or it isn’t, regardless of my feelings about people or topics. I routinely argue against pro-choice arguments, for example, not because I’m pro-life, but because so many pro-choice arguments are bad. I actually support unfettered abortion and even limited legalized infanticide similar to Peter Singer, but that’s quite irrelevant to arguments I make about abortion.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
I guess people in the military aren’t willing to die for anything either. After all, they wear body armor and use weapons against their enemies.
You can’t be so stupid as to think a willingness to die is the same as trying to die.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Me liking women and non-white people isn’t even relevant. If you don’t want to discuss the issues, then don’t.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Nothing I’ve seen would suggest that he was not willing to die for gun rights. Seems more like you cannot even comprehend someone being principled and politically consistent. Seems like projection to me.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
It only qualifies as ironic if Kirk would not support being a part of the “price worth paying” for gun rights. Do you actually believe he would’ve only accepted the deaths of others and not of himself?
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Not being mad about a fascist who advocates for public shootings as a necessity for society getting popped
So you don’t think he deserved it? Aren’t celebrating it?
I’m not opposed to public executions in general. The only problem I see with Kirk’s logic (which was that it would deter children from crime), is that only extreme violent crimes like murder would be deserving of execution. And allowing children to see killers getting killed isn’t exactly going to deter them from typical crimes, just murder.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
If DEI is explicitly taking measures to not consider race/gender in hiring practices, then conservatives would largely support it.
So they’re not racist for opposing DEI, they just don’t understand what it really is, right?
This is the problem in politics when everyone is using the same terms with different meanings. Political discourse devolves into people speaking past each other with absolutely no point.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
Rittenhouse defended himself against criminals trying to kill him, shooting one of them in the arm just as he was lowering a pistol to point it at him.
Nobody would be “celebrating” him if people didn’t try to vilify him and lock him in prison for the rest of his life.
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 5 months ago:
you’re open to public executions in general.
You act like you’re not, in a thread of people celebrating a public killing. 🤔
I would actually be against public executions for political assassins like Vance Boelter, Tyler Robinson, and Luigi Mangione. It would radicalize more people, potentially making them more of a martyr for a cause.
