thesis, antithesis, anti-antithesis, some other thesis, anti-that thesis, anti-anti-alternate theses

why everything has to be gender-coded is beyond me. And if we MUST code everything by gender, why we would choose "man" and "woman" to be the exclusive choices as if it were 1950. But you do see that a lot these days. LYFFF ferevensake

Brad Lander is one of the most humane and decent people out there in American politics right now. And he’s a bulwark against genuinely radical anti-Israel politics in the US right now. And still, the Israeli government hates him. They’re writing off a whole generation of non-Orthodox American Jews.

it's a serious problem being a cis male of that generation, just an impossible demographic

And so we end up at the horrifying reality that the Nazis murdered so many people that the Holocaust - with all of the soul-crushing weight the word rightly has - represents 'only' about a third of it. Crimes so vast, I always worry talking about one that I might be taken to minimize the others.

"everything I have is yours", Luke 15:31 well I guess I don't have to worry about THAT any more, not even throwing a party

"They take the parts that assuage their guilt and ignore the rest." substitutionary atonement in a nutshell.

whereas now a coder has to spend their life thinking about what they WANT to do, what GOALS they have in mind, which is always very tedious and conflictatory

One of the lessons of Athens must be that democracies can inflict atrocities just as well as autocracies. Our democracy does not make us moral; we must make moral our democracy.

at the store this morning with a hankering for basic Corn Flakes ... found them hiding behind a pillar and they cost a dollar more than anything nearby no respect for tradition anywhere any more

eke is that u

when you see the Abomination of Desolation standing in the place where it ought not to be, nbd, small price to pay

Holy shit.

But ice cream shops can’t give a free cone to someone with an “I voted” sticker

do you mean "PERSONS have rights" or "PEOPLES have rights" there's a lot of trouble being made around the idea that various collectives have specialness for ethic or religious reasons, whereas the facts of whatever matter apply first and foremost to individuals in their individual situations

DFCs for tanker boom operators??? "The awards have come at 15 bases, given out to groups ranging from a single fighter pilot in Alaska to 12 tanker pilots and boom operators at a single ceremony at Fairchild Air Force Base"

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY!!! Join the MAGA Resistance & make your voices heard. Accountability. Is. Coming.

imagine thinking life was ever otherwise

“to the victor go the spoils” is basically the whole thing the UN was designed to prevent

here in Coos County, an R stronghold in the Oregon outback, the CCYS runs youth sports programs through 12th grade, all of which are coed. I think the extent to which normal people feel threatened on the issue is vastly overstated

imagine you are killed while your brain is scanned by beings you cannot comprehend to comprehend and you wake up in a virtual purgatory waving swords around

"we are the attackers" in the past the moral high ground goes to the people who were attacked upon, not so for trumpian greatness anyway Master Kan said, He who attacks must vanquish; he who defends need only survive

the radical feminists captured the whole sex dialog and forced sexuality into a Patriarchy vs. Everybody mode where women's views were centered. In those days the Black Liberation movement explored the essential sexual elements of racism, Gay Liberation was forward about alternative male sex ->

you tell a man he's lookin' good which is no more than the facts and he takes offense and offers to kick your ass for you if you say it again. if you want to go through life and through history as a smashmouth sourpuss, I only have a problem with the smashmouth part

Not only is Moskowitz a genocide denier and pro Israel extremist, he’s the only House Dem that is publicly in favor of the Iran war.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

the thing I don't get about transexualism is that it reinforces the strict social separation of presenting as "men" or "women" why put people in boxes??? Let Your Freak Flag Fly

as an old person I find getting up with the sun unavoidable, def a life change. Old days used to be, us oldies would take care of the tods, let the dogs out, and build up the breakfast fire, leaving adults free to snooze and stay up late doing social bonding stuff -->

it would be great if warfare expertise is moving in the defensive direction. Since last century the basic power move has been the Blitz such as Trump attempted, leading to maximum casualties/civil disruption. Now if we could only do something about the long-range missles
