The irony is that might even produce more atheists than not reading the Bible, especially depending on which sections they read. That book is fucking awful and most Christians don't actually know what's in it...

Ah, the master technique.

Nevermind the climb, you're practically crouching to pee with that ceiling there.

Hey let's not labia shame. Some are tulips, some are horseshoes, and some are Eldritch horrors beyond comprehension -- the mere sight of which drives a man to madness.

Some games still got patched but you'd just get that if you bought it late. You can see this if you ever look at rom packs, as even some SNES games and such get revisions.

Quite a few FF airships, but I'm more a Blackjack person (but than again you get Falcon later on so that's two vehicles I guess).

Man I wish more politicians were godless. As it stands, atheists and "nones" are still grossly under represented at all levels, even relative to the number that exist in the county.

Average citizens won't necessarily call themselves atheist, but even if you include agnostics and "nones" and other unaffiliated people, it's somewhere around 30%. In Congress, it's four people (which is better than last Congress when it was just mother fucking Kristen Sinema.). It's worse than pretty much every other religious categorization.

Here's an article on it: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2025/01/02/faith-on-the-hill-2025/

Not sure if we know for sure yet. I do know that it's not as much a gain from Millennials to Zs, though I don't recall the numbers. Internet babies definitely saw a nice gain, though.

My stepdad jokes Clinton was his favorite Republican president. This is the reason why. Lol

Not to bum you out but the 90s being good is because you were a kid. For example, in '96, they were "cracking down on welfare queens" in a bipartisan welfare reform effort that specifically fucked over poor folk and people of color in a conservative effort to force work requirements while simultaneously making it harder to claim disability.

You still had racial redlining, war on drugs, satanic panic, homophobia, child abuse, bullying, etc... people were just less informed because the Internet was in its infancy.

Actually let me put a positive spin for young people; today is probably better (on average) to grow up because of all the advances in education, medicine, psychology, etc.; people actually have their psychological needs addressed more, die of illness less, and are generally more educated than in the 90s-- hell, every generation is about 10-15 IQ higher than the previous, you just don't see it since it's standardized and set to 100. Not that IQ is a great metric for intelligence, but it's a good indicator that people are more educated than previously.

Drugs. They sell or traffic drugs. That's usually how mysterious sources of income work, especially when you're investigating how he was murdered.
