Now, imagine two workers who are exactly the same (they even have the same salary) except for one thing: one is male and the other is female. This is a place where there isn’t equivalence, and thus there is no equality. Why? Because in order to have equality you need both workers to be male or female because inside the conditions of equality women cannot be paid or hold the same jobs than men. Men and women are different mostly (in my honest opinion, only) physically, but the point is that one difference it’s more than enough to be different.

That is one big hot mess of a statement. First the two hypothetical workers are “exactly the same” but then, no they’re actually not, because one is female and thus smaller and weaker? And, of course that ain’t always the case. I’m a big guy myself, but I’ve known women who were stronger than me. (which is kinda hot in a way, but that’s neither here nor there, lol)

In biblical times, humans had the ability to live up to 1000 years

The Bible doesn’t even say that. Methuselah was said to have the longest life, dying at 969 years old. I mean, I guess 969 is pretty close to 1000, but it ain’t 1000.

One good thing, sort of a “side benefit” I guess, about being an atheist is that I don’t have to give a damn about stuff like this. I don’t have a dog in the fight, so to speak.

Porn will never be free speech.
Porn is imagery. Porn is media. Porn consists of videos and photos.
Those are visuals. Not speech or text.

Visuals are 100% absolutely covered by “free speech.” That seems like a really weird argument to me, because I’m not aware of any time where that hasn’t been the case. If I wanted to look it up right now, I’m guessing I could find some Supreme Court decisions that said so.

Porn is not freedom of speech or expression, nor is it a "right". Porn is the exploitation, commodification, and dehumanization of real human beings - namely women - and nobody reserves the "right" to partake in such a thing or derive pleasure from it.

That’s maybe a little bit better of an argument against porn than the last one, but I still don’t buy it. Sure, some women HAVE been exploited by the industry, but can you say every woman who ever did it was? Especially today, in the age of “OnlyFans” and such. Women can, of their own free will, post pornographic content of themselves online. Who’s doing the exploiting there? Themselves??

Also, ya know, what about men in porn? Does that just not count for some reason?

What does the eclipse that occurred during Elliot Rodger's birth mean for him and all of humanity?

It means exactly jack shit because eclipses are just a thing that happens because the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun are sometimes lined up in a certain way. And as you literally said, one happened NOT on the date of his birth, but “exactly 13 days” before. As if 13 days has some sort of significance you’re not telling us about?

In slightly more seriousness, for me the attraction to Succubi comes mostly from the “Succubus in love” trope. Something about the embodiment of carnal desires actually falling in love with a mortal and remaining faithful to them is very wholesome to me.

Oh yeah, definitely! I’ve read a few “haremlit” series with a character like a succubus who falls for the protagonist, good stuff. It’s not the same thing, but KINDA similar maybe…one of my favorite series in that vein is “Villain For Hire”, where there’s a woman the main character meets who’s a very powerful psychic, and can basically get any person to desire her if the wants to…but the protagonist is like the one person she’s met who can resist her powers, so she’s immediately attracted to him, lol. (Also the premise of that series is kinda awesome…a villain with superpowers who’s paid and takes pride in losing to superheroes, lol)

I think that’s more of a “philosophy” than a “religion”…a religion is something more formalized, I guess. But anyway, whatever you wanna call it, it sounds to me like your “religion” is just “being a dick.”

As such, even if Diana were alive, she would most certainly not be Queen of the United Kingdom.

And Melania is apparently a Catholic, which would disqualify her there. Or is that another part of the “deep cover”??

She took the name Melania Knauss and used modeling as cover.

Then what the hell happened to who I guess I’ll call the “original” Melania Knauss, who was born in 1970, 27 years before Diana “took the name”? Or are we trying to say she didn’t exist? Because just from looking at the Wikipedia article about her, she made appearances as a model before then.

Punishments for people producing propaganda of pedophilia, OK, sure…(though I suspect they might be overzealous with it)…and for LGBT stuff, obviously I don’t agree with that, but not all that surprising to see unfortunately….but “childlessness”???

There is no risk of any nuclear weapon as they are fake and a hoax.

I think people who were in Hiroshima or Nagasaki in Japan in August 1945 would disagree with that!

Something I didn’t think of before I typed that…does this person also think nuclear power is “fake”? I mean, I live where I can often see the steam from a nuclear power plant if not the stacks themselves. And if I remember right, there’s been talks about shutting the nearby coal-fired plant down eventually. And there’s the famous instances of nuclear power plant meltdowns that have generally fucked things up, like Three Mile Island and Fukushima, to name just a few examples. I don’t think it’s a big leap of logic to come to the conclusion that if nuclear power exists, and can cause bad shit if something goes wrong, hey, maybe someone could make a weapon out of that.

To survive a ‘working life’ a body relies on testosterone. To endure the grinding pressures of the industrial side of humanity both physically and mentally takes much more than ideology.

Clif here has either never worked in a “blue-collar” job in his life, or he’s flat-out lying, or is blindingly stupid. Possibly at least two out of those three possibilities, take your pick!

Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia

I am not a parent of a trans-identified child/adult. However, I am a mother of three small children. Please accept an offering of a poem. I don’t have first-hand familiarity with today’s ”trans world” or what many of you have gone through.

So, in other words… “I don’t have any experience with this, but I’ll offer my opinion anyway!” And not just an opinion, a poem at that. If you can even call that a poem.

Yet many of us have been near the equator, on the ocean, and it can be flat calm. Mariners experience the “doldrums,” no wind at all for weeks on end

OK…next time you’re near the equator, instead of looking at the calm water, look up at the sky. You’ll be seeing constellations you wouldn’t see from farther north, or south for that matter. Like how I, at a latitude of roughly 42 degrees north, can’t see Crux, also known as the “Southern Cross.” I’d love to see someone try to explain how that would make any sense on a flat earth!

NASA says that the earth has a circumference of 24,000 miles, and that earth rotates once every 24 hours — thus surface speed at the equator is 1000 mph, faster that the speed of sound

I don’t know why the fuck flat-earthers seem to blame everything they think is wrong on NASA. As if they’re the single source of all geological and astronomical knowledge. Eratosthenes calculated the Earth’s circumference more than 2000 years before NASA was even an idea that anyone had. He didn’t get it EXACTLY right, but 24,000 miles is actually more off.

“Almost overnight, the Zelda fandom became a majority of noobs.”

OK, then, how about being happy that there’s a bunch of new fans who are literally gonna keep the fandom alive? And they’ll likely check out the old games and think “damn, this is cool!” and etc. (or at least as long as they don’t play “The Adventure of Link” first and inevitably get frustrated by how FUCKING HARD that game is!)

Panel 3: the French soldier replies with “Connerie”, “There aren't even that many Jews in France” and “None in the military”

The Armée Juive (Jewish Army), was a Zionist resistance movement in Nazi occupied Vichy France during World War II which was created during January 1942 in Toulouse.

Also, it’s kinda hilarious that Tatsuya apparent doesn’t know what the French flag actually looks like.

A Pleiadian

It’s always kinda bugged me when I see stuff quoted here talking about “Pleiadians.” Would an alien living on a planet orbiting one of the stars in the Pleiades be likely to call themselves a Pleiadian, or whatever the word for it in their own language would be? If it was even a thing they recognized and had a word for?

Carl Johann Schroeder #ufo #magick #conspiracy

Many people predict that extraterrestrials will soon announce themselves.

I, for one, don’t predict that. I suppose it is possible we could receive some sort of radio transmission from ETs soon, but I think it’s just as likely to happen hundreds or thousands of years from now, if ever. While I personally believe it’s damn near a certainty that there’s other intelligent life out there somewhere, the problem is, to quote Douglas Adams:

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

They also said "Abramhamism" isn't correct and is authority worship and actual God is way more merciful and kind and funny than the Christian religion says, and actual God is more like the near-death experience reported man of light who gives everyone a chance to go to Heaven. They said no religion describes the Creator right.

I can kinda believe that, not gonna lie. Makes as much sense as anything else to me.

These warfighters — entrusted with the safety of our nation — are no less entitled to exercise their God-given right to keep and bear arms than any other American.

That seems like kind of a nonsensical statement to me. Of course they’re “no less entitled”, they’re actually much more entitled to keep and bear arms. It’s like…their job! I don’t even oppose the 2nd Amendment, I guess I just don’t have a damn hardon for it like some Republicans seem to have. I’m almost 49 years old, and ya wanna know how many guns I’ve ever owned? That would be a big fat zero. Hell, the biggest thing I’ve personally shot was a damn bb gun, lol.

Don't do anything drastic that you're gonna regret
If you're feeling guilty just at the thought of abortion imagine how you're gonna feel if you actually do it and can't turn back?

Well, ya know….I kinda can’t hate that, as far as it goes. If you really think abortion is wrong, then don’t have one.

Also honestly aborting would be very unfair on the father and your family, don't forget this is also his child and their grandchild/nibling etc.

OK, that’s what I kinda dont know about. Maybe in this hypothetical scenario that we’re not told the specifics of, the potential father is in support of the woman getting an abortion for whatever reason? Also, “nibling” is a new term to me, but yeah, that’s a thing, lol

lonelytrailer #fundie #homophobia #dunning-kruger

Nobody really disrespects any other religion besides Christianity.

Wow, that’s a pretty bold statement. How about, for example, how some (not all) Christians disrespect other religions, as can be often seen on this very site? Christians often disrespect Islam, Judaism, and for that matter, Protestants disrespect Catholics and vice versa. Which is kinda funny to me, as an atheist, because, those are all really different versions of the same thing.

Oh, I know the context of this. They’re talking about the NBA player (well, former NBA player) Jaden Ivey getting waived by the Chicago Bulls due to his anti-LGBT comments he’s made recently. I’d have to ask, how could you be surprised by that? The NBA has been pretty pro-LGBT lately. Also, he was ruled out for the rest of the season anyway due to an injury, so maybe the Bulls took that into consideration, lol

STOP CALLING THEM DOCTORS

Well, doctors are people who have earned a degree that’s called, believe it or not, a doctorate. So, that’s what I’ll call them, because that’s what they are. Of course I have to mention not all of those are in medical fields, in fact one could get a doctorate in, say, astrophysics, like a certain curly-haired rock guitarist who I’m a huge fan of did. He even got knighted, at that, ya know.

Also, my dad’s 72 and has had heart issues and stuff. If he wasn’t taking medications for that, he’d probably either be dead or in worse shape than he is now, so fuck you very much.

Apparently he’s referring to Nancy Pelosi, who is 86 years old, so yeah, I suppose there is a decent chance that that won’t happen in HER lifetime. Like if Kamala Harris or someone else (AOC? MI gov Whitmer?) wins the nomination but doesn’t win the Presidency in ‘28. But, ya know, Jesse’s 47 years old himself, so I wouldn’t be too sure of that if I were him.

What’s that line… “some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”

Anyway, Rob, just stick to endorsing whiskey that’s marketed to conservatives, at least, OK? (yes, that’s an actual thing, lol)
