@SpumoniTakes The funny part is that Roberts partisanship benefits the left.

They’re attacking Roberts specifically because he’s susceptible to this kind of criticism.

@BillWiIdin Your time is objectively no less or more important than anyone else's time.

I just went to a self-serve frozen yogurt shop. I picked the cup, pulled the lever, and added my own toppings. At checkout, the iPad was flipped toward me with options for 20%, 25%, and 30% tips. The employee who was literally leaning against the wall on her phone sighed and rolled her eyes when I hit "No Tip." When did we start tipping people for the privilege of doing their job for them? Am I the villain here?

@nypost She can take comfort knowing that at least she wasn't ordered to sleep with Eric Swalwell.

@rickbeato @YouTube A panel of 13 year-old girls discussing Justin Bieber has more intellectual substance than this Ivy League panel discussing Billy Joel. But I guess that's what happens when you go pass/fail.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @justalexoki Other people did shit for you in the past. You have an obligation to do the same for those in the future. If you honor that obligation, its deserved. If you don't honor it, you are a free riding thief and it isn't deserved. Either way, it isn't luck.

Put a 100 marbles in a jar, 14 blue marbles to represent the population of the West, and 86 red marbles to represent everyone else. If you draw a marble, blindly and at random, from the jar, you have a 14% chance of drawing a blue marble. This how @justalexoki sees the moment of conception. He thinks he is a random generic soul, fresh from the Well of Random Generic Souls, drawing a marble from the jar. 14% blue, 86% red. But you don't draw the marble. You are the marble. A blue marble only has a 14% chance of being selection in a random draw. But, in or out of the jar, a blue marble has a 100% chance of being blue. This is the Seagull Test, which is an inversion of the Breakfast Test. The Breakfast Test requires you to describe a hypothetical timeline where you skipped breakfast this morning, to prove you can imagine hypotheticals. The Seagull Test requires you to reject the question "What if you were a seagull?" as a nonsense question, to prove that you understand the difference between valid and nonsense hypotheticals. You can skip breakfast and still be you, but there is no version of you that can be a seagull, and no seagull that can, in any meaningful way, be you. To pass the Seagull Test, you must reject the question and refuse to answer, or, better yet, reframe the question so that it asks for the intended information in a coherent way, i.e. "What does it feel like to be a seagull?" Which is a very, very different question. I can, with good observational data and some intelligent speculation, possibly understand the thoughts and feelings of a Pakistani brick layer. But I cannot be one in any coherently possible universe, because I am, by definition, me. A blue marble.

@thecountryfirst Country First is "non-partisan" in the same way that the SPLC is "non-partisan".

Veterans are speaking out. The military is not a political prop. It belongs to the people, not any politician. Country First created Reveille & Rally to protect that. Support the fight: reveilleandrally.com

@GreeneMan6 Go to the next annual stockholders meeting of the RTX Corporation. Then you will meet people who support the Iran War.

I literally don’t know anyone who supports the Iran war. During the Iraq war there were religious conservatives and young republicans who thought it was necessary because of “WMDs” even my moderate liberal father bought in, which is saying something. You could actually debate real people on the issue. By contrast the Iran war just feels like it’s happening. Old conservatives are burnt out of regime change wars, leftists hate it bc Orange man bad, no person under 30 doesn’t hate it. The decision was made by someone, now we just have to watch the consequences.

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 Atheists really do need to calm down about the fact that there is religion.

@HNaive11 @Ernest1588761 Yeah so all I’m saying it’s mythology and people should calm down

Take all your time to think about it 😁

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 No I have evidence that there is nothing logically inconsistent with God feigning ignorance in order to scold regardless of whether of whether one takes the story literally or metaphorically. Which was the actual point and not whatever it is you are deflecting to.

@HNaive11 @Ernest1588761 Wait…you have evidence for Adam and Eve???

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 Why do think that someone point out the shortcomings in your thinking means they are mad. I have logic and evidence. You do not. You are the one moving the goalposts. I am not. Why would I be mad about that? Your clown nose on/off routine fools no one.

@HNaive11 @Ernest1588761 Nope just pretty obvious it’s a mythological story You people are getting mad over a joke over a mythological story

@RepMikeLevin x.com/MillennialWoes…

So apparently Washington Republicans have no problem trusting USPS to ship handguns in the mail, but they simply can’t be trusted with your mail-in ballot? Make it make sense.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @paulbunyan78 @ChoochSkookum Why do you think an attempt to comprehend requires or guarantees actual comprehension. I can't comprehend the quotient when dividing by zero. That doesn't mean I've never thought about it.

You cannot 'think of something as incomprehensible'. To think about something is, by definition, to attempt to comprehend it. To label something as incomprehensible is nothing more or less than a refusal to think about it at all, or at least about those aspects of it which you have labeled "incomprehensible".

Polytheists are funny because they dont realize the existence of multiple gods requires a singular Creator God. Otherwise who created them? It shows they stopped short in their thought process All roads lead to a singular Creator.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @ChoochSkookum Why would the existence of God #1 require the existence of God #2?

@ChoochSkookum Monotheists are funny, because they don't realize the existence of a single creator god requires another god to create him, who requires another god to create him, and so on. All roads lead to an infinite regress of countless gods.

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 You do realize that I am not fooled by that excuse . . . right? You obviously thought you had some big own.

@HNaive11 @Ernest1588761 You do realize you’re getting mad over a joke not an argument…right?

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 What you do is erect strawmen arguments predicated on the assumption that because you personally never moved past a 5 year old's understanding of religion, that therefore no one else ever moved past a 5 year old's understanding of religion.

@HNaive11 @Ernest1588761 Honey. We don’t argue with the bible. We argue with creationists who believe that crap literally

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 You do get that on this issue, it would be literally possible for God to act like a parent and feign ignorance in order to scold? So how does assuming it is literal get you anywhere? What is your actual point here?

@philobrossuckdi @Ernest1588761 You atheists do realize if you have to pick a lane . . . right? If it is mythology then why did the OP premise his attack on the notion that it was asserting historical and scientific truth? It works as a motte-and-bailey tactic, but you really have no point.

@RichardAngwin The only people who have a beef with Huck Finn are leftist race hustlers. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is required reading in almost every high school. It won an Oscar and a Pulitzer. And so on. Please explain how you are using the words "banned" and "Republican."

These are just some of the books Republicans have banned in school and public libraries around the country. Who's read any of these ??

@Oilfield_Rando I support doing whatever is necessary to preserve the country Americans approved in 1776 --- including booting out all the foreigners.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that representative Suhas Derkaderka Subramanyam is willing to completely destroy our system of government to impose his will on rural God-fearing Americans Just totally shocked guys.

@JackPosobiec Rom-Com is enemy coded. Please say "Chick Flick."

All those 90s rom-coms are post-Christian, full of 60s sexual revolution values with Meg Ryan packaging. They make the relationship a vehicle for the self and personal happiness 'how do they make me feel' rather than total commitment to one another as loving spouses
