No, no, no....the Democrats must just unilaterally disarm, you see.
LOL, is he gonna try yelling about who has "cards" again?
Seems to me that dozey don is ruled by Netanyahu and Putin.
It’s time for something akin to the Nuremberg trials, only without rampant face saving and blatant opportunism of offering a place for the “useful” monsters that took part in this. There is nothing they can learn if they don’t understand by this point. What is there to save? They fucked up waaaay beyond forgiveness and don’t deserve any further empathy. It’s a weakness to many of them anyway by their own admission if not actions. The weekend will be better off without them and that is justice for those they have killed abused assaulted tortured.
Yeah, what I really wish for is probably way off, if indeed even possible. I think I was quite intrigued by the ideas in the book Queen of Angels, most especially the idea of The Country of the Mind, in which they use tech to conduct therapy on people.
We could use a whole lot of that right now. However, I think even if that tech were to come online, right now it would be in the hands of those that would most need to be therapied...irony of ironies.
I like it when Pumpkinhead pretends it was all the idea of other people, no big deal, etc. People just love him so much, he doesn't even get why they'd do it, yadda yadda.
Deep down, this asshole is trying to slap his name on stuff and build stuff associated with him because he fucking knows that no one is going to be building anything in his name after he's out of there.
All the apparatchiks clap and bow and scrape because they want to make money or have power, etc. I'm sure most of them loathe him.
No one loves this asshole except for the dumbfucks buying his stupid gear, and those people have shit for brains and very few have any power or money...
That article didn't seem to have video of the removal.
Yes, it's this exactly. Again, I'm not in the field, but I definitely have noticed it seems to be a real thing, both online and off.
Now, it could be that these people are getting told they also have narcissism, Machiavellianism, and/or psychopathy in addition to something else like autism. That's if they get diagnosed by actual (ethical) professionals in the first place.
Because even with those traits, you are probably going to be savvy enough not to broadcast the dark triad, and with those traits, you are not likely to want to work on addressing them. You certainly are not going to pre-warn potential future victims.
The other thing I've tended to notice is that it seems lots of armchair diagnostics being made about almost any man who has almost any hobby that is not sportsball or hunting or fishing - "he's probably on the spectrum". I mean....wut.
And don't get me started on the (mostly men it seems) that get accused of being an asshole, self-diagnosing and saying that they may have Asperger's. Uh, no, the problem is most likely you have to work on your empathy.
All this armchair diagnosing is rather hilarious if it weren't for all the harm it's probably causing.
In my experience, nearly every xtian denomination thinks they are better than other sects. Otherwise, why would they choose that particular lifestyle brand?
Also: I remember my amusement when I first learned that LDS refer to outsiders, including non-Mormon xtians and Jews, as "gentiles".
This is the way. You'll see some people get red-faced over the "Nicene creed" and so on.
Bringing up the Nicene creed is not really quite the flex that some xtians seemingly think that it is, though. If anything it only serves to highlight all the problems of trying to define something like "True Christianity".
First of all, it's clear the fractures were coming very early. Also, they apparently had to vote on what is alleged to be revealed holy scriptures, and what they mean.
This is all rather problematic. You'd think a divine creature(s) would be able to construct a way to know what is absolutely, without question and without debate, what is the real, unaltered true original texts (something like a digital signature for example) and how to interpret it.
We definitely do not have that. Instead we have endless centuries of scribblings from apologists, lots of violence and schisms and declarations of heresy and apostasy.
Unitarian Universalists
We are kind of interested in joining up as a family, and it's more about the community than any kind of doctrine.
Personally, I'd probably join a pagan/OTO thing but that might not be the best model for the kids, LOL.
One of my favorite stories about the UU, though, was that someone said they learned how to read Tarot at one of the church events as a teenager - and later became a Wiccan or pagan, I forget which. I'm picturing some of the church ladies I know/have known and thinking how they'd react to the divination stuff. Never mind later becoming a literal pagan.
Right? I find it interesting how certain xtians are certain that other xtians are not "real" xtians. Most especially when the xtians that seem to be most certain that they are the real xtians seem more like Paulians when you look a lot closer at what they emphasize...and Paul never even met the character of Jesus from their text!
I personally find it all rather wild. BTW, I was raised as an xtian, at least nominally. Also, my parents and just about everyone I knew viewed LDS with very much side-eye.
The point is that virtually all of this stuff is made up. When people are like, bu-bu-but the Mormons say that Mormon men can have their very own planet where they are a god - I can only shrug. They worship the same guy, though, and you guys are all making unprovable claims, sooooo this sounds like a real playground "but MY dad can beat up YOUR dad!" kind of thing to those of us that reject it....
It's gonna be so fun to have a so-called "government" increasingly getting into the business of the No True ~~Scotsman~~, er Xtian, game....
Well, the rest of the country wants him to shut up about it AND stop wasting time and money on it.
