I don’t know my place in the world nor what to live for, and that’s not an abnormality but a feature when you consider the circumstances of my birth

That is normal human condition, not some bit of weirdness. Most of the people who think they know their place or what to live for are mistaken. Only a small fraction of people are really born into a narrow range of life options.

“I just found out my salary is paid mainly through atheist donors!!!! I can't even explain how I feel about that. I was out of work for over 2 years, I don't want to quit now that I have a job.”
So, I have to ask, have you ever gotten smug because atheists have to use money that says ‘in God we Trust’?
Or say a pledge that says, ‘Under God’?
If you think, or have ever said, we’re hypocrites because we don’t have a choice, then you should quit to remain ideologically pure.

Asimov describes humor as taking you out of your rut. Everything that’s ordinary, that happens as you expected, is just part of the rut. Humor moves your POV to something you never thought of. “I wonder what my dog named me?”
If you figure out the killer before the show reveals it, you’re not surprised, you’re not taken out of your rut. If you’ve heard the joke a thousand times, it has no power.

SIde-splitting humor requires a MAJOR blow to your way of thinking. Something unexpected. Something off the wall.
When Carol Burnett finished filming Annie, she was exhausted. She’s on the screen for a LONG time. At the end, Tim Curry asked her what she was going to do after all that work.
“Honey,” she said, “I’m going to go home to Hawaii and watch whales fuck.” He laughed so hard he couldn’t breathe.

Humor is an interrupted defense mechanism. We’re threatened, we laugh it off.

LIBERAL humor is an effort to challenge one’s ideology, one’s thinking, cultural norms, societal cues, gender roles. “Excessive force in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers, has been approved.”

CONSERVATIVE “humor”, for lack of a better term, does not challenge your thinking. It’s actually meant to reinforce your beliefs and biases. “Four hippies went over a cliff in a Volkswagon… And they all died and went to Hell. HAHAHAHA!”
You laugh because the joke doesn’t threaten your bedrock beliefs. Just strokes your hair and tells you you’re right. All is well. Heh.

No wonder you don’t feel paralyzing humor. THe stuff you let yourself watch it’s all reinforcing you and your rapture expectations.

“All incels like myself needs to torture women by smelling bad on purpose in public. As long as you are ugly, it will work. It works for me.”
Yes, yes, convince all women that ugly goes down to the bone. That ‘works,’ I’m sure.

However, that’s a lot of work to be discounted as a subhuman goblin.
Why not just wear your clothes 24/7 and don’t shower?

“Just so you know, I've spoken to biologists and evolutionary scientists in both Europe and Australia and NONE of them could explain to me the points I and Aysia just raised, they just say 'Oh, that field of research hasn't been fully explored yet.'”
So, you’re asking questions that science cannot currently answer?
Or you’re asking questions everyone’s too polite to tell you how dumb they are?

“Shitheads, if something hasn't been fully explored or explained, you can't declare it to be true!!!”
Um, yes, yes we can.
Watch a murder mystery.
We can declare that Mr. Body is dead long before we know who had means, motive, and opportunity to do the deed, much less indict them.
Mr. Body is Dead is a fact.
‘Mr. Body was found in the Kitchen’ is also a fact.
Mr. Body was killed by a blunt instrument is also a fact.
Mr. Body was moved from where he was killed, a fact that’ll take time to establish.
Eventually they can say ‘It is a fact that Mr. Body was killed in the Library, and this is how we know…’
And eventually they go to court and convince a Jury that ‘Mrs. Peacock did it in the Library with the pipe wrench’ is a fact.

Everything in science is a theory trying to explain the facts we’ve collected. Your question is either NOT about facts, or it’s about facts we cannot explain…yet.
But we don’t have to answer that to say that the murder is a fact. I mean, that evolution is a fact.

“Any Christian should believe in extraterrestrial life. From cover to cover, the bible describes highly advanced beings capable of moving through interstellar space and whose abode is not on this planet.”

Except that this planet is literally all there is.
Cover to cover, the Bible describes the Earth as a flat plane floating on the waters below, under a solid sky. Sun, moon, and stars all roll around inside the sky. The sun even has an apartment to sleep in during the night.

“In the glorious boys' gymnasiums of the past, boys were beaten and raised in a semi-military hierarchy.”

Resulting in emotionally-stunted sociopaths who knew no other means of expressing themselves other than inflicting bodily harm.

Ken Ham #conspiracy #fundie #pratt

@Indicible #250304

According to Ken Ham, yes, and that is the parameter he uses. He would say that they are the same ‘kind’ as in the Bible. This would exclude foxes [who can’t breed with the above]. He would probably say that they [foxes] are a different kind, that God made two different animals that looked a bit similar.

“But in response, I have a little bit of knowledge of what evolution is (the big bang is associated with that theory)”
No, you do not.
And only creationists associate the big bang with evolution.
COMPLETELY disproving the BBT will have zero effect on the masses of evidence for evolution.
And evolution involves life that exists. The universe existed for about 10.6 BILLION years before anything lived on Earth. THEN evolution could start.

“and it sounds corny to me.”
A well-supported and emotion-free scientific position, i must say.
And in response, you sound like an idiot to me.

“I don't know, it just sounds like some scientists can't look Jesus in the face and say 'I don't believe in you, so I'll come up with some other way to explain things'

But… But… plenty of people who actually KNOW what evolution is don’t have to give up their belief in god to accept the evidence for the science.
So… You’re wrong at every point, here, on every level, and at every scale. Fractal wrongness.

“Although different species of dogs have formed because of the genetic diversity God created in the DNA of the dog kind, dogs will only ever produce dogs.”
Your fixation on ‘kind’ blinds you to the actual definition of ‘species,’ I see.

“The science of genetics confirms biblical kinds and does not confirm evolutionary beliefs that claim one kind can change into a totally different kind over millions of years.”
But that’s exactly what the science of genetics DOES show. We’ve yet to find an upper limit to the accumulation of changes.
Also, I’m alive because Human DNA works in single-celled creatures to make them sweat out insulin. If ‘kinds’ were sacrosanct, you’d think only the same kind of DNA would work.

“Yes, God’s revelation to us in the Bible, what I call the history book of the universe,”
I don’t care if you call it Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm’s Porn. It’s a revenge fantasy.

“is the key to understanding what happened in the past so we can understand the present.”
It’s the key to pretending magic happened in the past, to control the present.

Robin Hood (aka Carl Benjamin aka Sargon of Akkad) #sexist

“Robin Hood: Yes, it is unmanly to be in distress.”
Not really something you can control.
It’s not like anyone gets up and chooses the underwear they’ll see in the emergency room, then goes out and waits for a truck to slam into them. Or roots purposefully for the football team that’s going to lose the playoff.

Toxic Masculinity allows men to cry, but only when everyone around him cries, too. Watching an army invade, sports team wins or loses the ultimate sporting event of the season, wars start or end.
Meaning if his problems are restricted to his person, he’s to keep that shit bottled up like a cancer, show no weakness, and grill steaks until it’s time to go shoot up a concert.
Not a winning strategy for society, really.

“Of course Harry Potter isn't about Christianity. The reasons it opposes Christianity is that it supports magic.”
And yet, Harry constantly tries to go the right thing by Christain standards… Fight evil, save friends, not be racist, turn his bitchy aunt into an eclair, all the usual stuff.

“Magic is bad according to Christians.”
Well, some magic. Not God’s magic, that’s okay.

“In the old testament you were commanded to kill anyone who was a witch.”
Technically, it was a prohibition about allowing poisoners to live, but very strangely, the people who made King James’ copy knew that King James had a problem with witches, and gave him god’s authority to persecuted them.

“So you don't think kids really get into Harry Potter adn try to do magic and stuff?”
My kids play D&D and Pathfinder, and read all the Harry Potter books.
When the basement flooded, they asked if i was going to call a plumber.
Not one of them suggested a ‘Lower Water’ spell. Or that I raise my hands like Moses and cross the Red Basement.

“Ok, that's you opinion.”
That’s my experience.

“All I want to ask is when is the last time you worked with kids?”
I’ raised three from very early on in their lives.

“L[ord]O[f]T[he]R[ings] is alright because magic isn't it's main theme”
No, of course not, because THE RING had a perfectly secular power to control the perfectly secular wizards, the elves, the dwarves… The main antagonists are alive only by magic or else they would not be antagonists…

“and if you know anything about the books the only people who could use magic were semi-gods sent from the west (or god) to help battle Sauron.”
I’ve read the books a couple of times.
Frodo and Bilbo used magic. The Wizards use magic. The elves had magic rings. Sauron’s ring was really big magic, as was his necromancy. Tom Bombadil was fucking MADE of wild magic. Trolls were creatures that turned to stone if sunlight hit them, that’s not mundane biology, The Balrog was magic, as was Gandalf’s fate.
Magic runs ALL THROUGH those books, it’s just not flashy like fireballs. You are an idiot.

“It's the Christian idea of God sending the Holy Spirit to empower and help us in our daily struggle against Satan.”
Yes. With magic. LOTS of magic.
SOME Christains are against LOTR exactly because Tolkien was Catholic.

Yes, God’s revelation to us in the Bible, what I call the history book of the universe

If the Bible is truly “the history book of the universe” I feel like it missed some stuff. The Big Bang for starters (lol), and the existence of planets orbiting other stars, which could possibly have some sort of life on them.

Personally I think it’s almost inevitable that there is intelligent life out there somewhere else in the universe, it’s just too damn big for that to not be. Are they close enough to us that we could conceivably make contact with them? Who knows…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melania_(film)#Box_office

Melania opened in 29th place at the British box office with £32,974, an average of £212.80 across 155 cinemas, but its earnings fell by 88% in its second weekend to £4,091, an average of £65.98 across 62 cinemas

The only cinema here in Hull which showed Moronia… er, I mean “Melania” was the Vue at the top of Princes Quay mall. By what I’ve heard, the number of people who have actually paid to see that can be counted on the fingers on one hand.

We, and the big screen, are worthy

Yeah.

Of far more people - with one finger of their hands - pointing and laughing at not only such a yuge fail.

…and “Moronia” too.

Last week, I went to my local branch of Halfords - because a friend told me he’d seen in their Cycle section that they had high quality ones in stock, thus he bought ones for his own toolbox - to buy thin Cone Spanners for adjusting/removal of wheel axles: and I’d previously had delivered a new 26 inch rear wheel with slot-on cassette sprocket hub from a seller on eBay: that had a quick release axle, and I wanted to replace that with a solid one, so I went there to get said spanners. I hadn’t been there for a few years, but I noticed something on their sliding doors: ’Everyone’s welcome at Halfords’, with the LGBTQ+ flag: pointing out how they are this tolerant of customers entering their premises, no matter their sexuality. Meanwhile, on Planet Reality:

because even a 5'2 manlet dwarf can have plenty of escorts, especially with money.

For one thing, 5′2″ is indeed shorter than average for a man, but NOT a “dwarf.” And Prince (RIP) was 5′2″. To say he did well with the ladies would be the understatement of all time, seriously. I read “haremlit” books, and he put some of their protagonists to shame! He would have had the money to pay for escorts, but didn’t need to.

Rewind to the ancient Greek world of around 400 BC and you’ll find that large, erect penises were not considered desirable, nor were they a sign of power or strength…The small penis was consonant with Greek ideals of male beauty…It was a badge of the highest culture and a paragon of civilization.”

Yeah, does this person think that some flags just pop into existence out of nowhere or something? What flags are “non-made-up flags”? Every national flag I’ve read about, there’s always some story like “this color represents this” and “this person 500 years ago designed it” or whatever.

Anon #sexist #crackpot #homophobia

At this point I should expand on the topic of why gender is already abolished for men, but this post is plenty long.

The one good idea this person had: shutting up. Good grief, that was a load of crap. I felt like I lost IQ points just from reading that.

At least to my sense of aesthetics, the word gap is glaringly too wide without the M - a clear indicator that it was also supposed to be there and was down for whatever reason when the old photo was taken, rather than being a later addition to cover up one thousand years of phantom time on prominent display on a landmark…

Horses and donkeys can also interbreed, but their offspring, mules, are sterile.

Either they are two different kinds (so how can they interbreed?) or they belong to the same kind (but then why are mules sterile?)

All flags are made up. What does he think makes a flag real? Lots of places and groups have flags that are not nations.

Well, Melania does not talk much in the movie, because she does not want to draw attention to the fact that after decades in the US, she still has a very thick accent. She is a symbol of the very thing MAGA accuses migrants of, but their criticism cannot go against their worship of Trump, so they pretend it does not exist.

Anon #sexist #crackpot #homophobia

Of course he deflects Trump being in the files, forgets that buxinesses can put what they want unless he opposes capitalism so he fucked up on both those

“I don't care how you try to look at it, when girls freely spread their legs to a guy and end up getting pregnant, they now have a responsibility.”
Yes, she does.
YOU cannot dictate how she resolves that responsibility, though.

“If they decide to abort the child, because they don't want to have a child or are not ready, they are commiting murder. PERIOD.”
Semi-colon Or self-defense. Women can die of being pregnant. Die in childbirth. Or miscarry, and not know it, and turn septic from carrying a corpse.
Some may not want to risk that.

“Now if the child is severally handicapped or the woman was raped, it can be looked at different.”
How big of you, after ‘PERIOD.’
Fuck off.

“I have never been their, so I don't know what I would do.”
And whatever you would do is not binding on anyone else.

“My belief is that abortion is a fancy word for MURDER.”
Yes, yes, you said.

“ I believe if you freely spread you legs, you should deal with the aftermath.”
And an abortion is dealing with the aftermath. So, everyone’s happy!

David Rules about 1010 to 970 BCE.
1 Chronicles 29:7 says David received 10,000 darics of gold to build The Temple.
King Darius of Persia invented the daric during his reign, 522 to 486 BCE.
SO your perfectly transmitted bible has an anachronism, using a coin that wasn’t invented until hundreds of years later.

So, that’s an error. A factual error. There are various apologies that try to justify it, but it’s still an anachronism.

Because a ‘God’ is supposed to Omniscient is he not…?!
