all under the guise of "Climate Change", “DEI” and “Trans Rights”.

I don’t even begin to understand how climate change and trans rights would factor into this smorgasbord of conspiracy theories, but it is kinda “DEI” though. There’s Canadians, Mexicans, Chinese…and I think I know who the “bankers” are supposed to be. I’m just saying, it’s a pretty diverse and inclusive group for something that is supposed to be “under the guise” of DEI.

When the spinning ball-Earth is finally exposed worldwide for the 400+ year deception it was

“400+ year”???? Eratosthenes famously calculated the circumference of the Earth (pretty accurately at that) over 2000 years ago! OK, I suppose it’s technically correct, as over 2000 years is “400+”, but still!

No doubt many woman like to wear tights, pants, slacks and other unladylike forms of clothing because they are convenient and comfortable, but I again remind you that someone is always watching ladies.

Hmm, did he omit a comma in that last part? Did he mean to say “someone is always watching, ladies”? Because it sounds like Dave is the one “always watching ladies”! I can’t say that I don’t, but at least I’m not a hypocrite about it. I bet the church staffer in the “tight black leather pants” was hot, too.

I totally never go to any gym, but if I did, an “air-conditioned democracy gym” sounds like the one I’d pick! Notwithstanding that I have no idea what a “democracy gym” could possibly mean. Working out outdoors is fine, I guess, if you’re into that, but hey, I live in southeastern Michigan, ya know. We have, like, all the weather. Sometimes all in the same day, lol.

— Jews blackmailed Pontius Pilate into crucifying Jesus Christ (John 19:12-13)

OK, but isn’t that like supposed to be the basis of Christianity, that Jesus was crucified and was resurrected? If Jesus wasn’t executed, Christianity ain’t a thing, right? So then why be mad at the Jews for that, if you wanna blame them for it?

Yeah, I thought both of those were “everybody” things. Like, if we ever establish communications with intelligent beings from another planet who are at least somewhat human-like, I’m pretty sure they’d have porn and some form of recreational drugs. Of course, if they’re something like the lizard aliens from Harry Turtledove’s “Worldwar” series, then all bets would be off.

Even if theistic Satanism may function like a religion, it is not one substantively, in any correct sense of the term.

Why the hell not? The most common reason that I’ve seen people giving for why something is not a religion is that whatever they’re talking about is not actually theistic. “Theistic Satanism” would certainly seem to pass that requirement! Though, I think the vast majority of Satanists today (which I guess would be the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple) are actually atheistic.

But even aside from all that…if something “functions like a religion”…well, it might as well just BE a religion, right? As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

People need to understand that all of the frequencies being used for wireless systems are in the ultrasonic range.
Your cell phone is using ultrasonic apps and is emitting ultrasound 24/7.

Of course, because sound waves and electromagnetic radiation like radio waves are totally the same thing! (he said sarcastically)

ReptileSailor #wingnut #sexist

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

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
