@banterwithb @Anarseldain I don't know what the pictures are. I have heard a lot of claims. Supposedly he shared nudes with someone in dm and publicly posted pics in a bikini. Bikini is a superstate of porn and not porn at the same time? I haven't heard any credibile evidence that he broadly shared nudes

@whiteboysumer @banterwithb @Anarseldain I know one way you don't prepare young men, and that's by sharing sexy photos with them. "Just look at this degenerate female, young man. Study her carefully! Don't miss a single detail!"

@banterwithb @Anarseldain She shared her pictures, he shared her pictures. The acts are equivalent. That is what people do with Satans Iconography. We all know this happens. How do you prepare young men for dealing with profligate women? Why isn't his heart something sacred and defended?

The Sietch of Sci-Fi |
The idea of doing the third movie throne room fight halfway through the second one is not bad per se, but because the movies had no outline and no one considered who Snoke really was, it puts this film in a weird sandwich position. TFA: Snoke is the mysterious overlord of the First Order and people wonder who he is. TLJ: Snoke is not as vital to this story as you thought, so he dies and you never find out who he was. TROS: Snoke was actually a clone of Palpatine and is HUGELY important to this narrative.

I told my priest about everything that happened with that girl's photo getting doxxed by "orthobros" and he pointedly informed me that if he knew of anyone at our parish who did that - they would be excommunicated. Just in case you were wondering how the church actually feels about doing that kind of thing.

@Theblaccgoyim @theclassicwife @childofgoddess2 Yeah, she wouldn't want to be like Sts. Thecla, Aquila, Catherine, Theodora, Paraskevi, Macrina the Younger, Fevronia, Judith, Deborah, Maria Skobtsova, the Empress Irene, etc.

@MercyOnMe88 @TheCatholicEngr Yep! People coming up with all these elaborate theories about foids and chads and feminist subversives, and he just posts prayer requests and "Buddy that's my wife." Living the dream.

1. I was a virgin on my wedding night 2. I've never sent a nude in my life The fact that you can't fathom why normal people would be against what happened to that girl exposes your lack of intelligence and wisdom. It's in the same realm of being unable to fathom why men should have a voice in the abortion debate when their bodies aren't carrying the baby. Because evil is evil no matter what.
Ubi Petrus@UbiPetrus2019

Your stance on the situation with Katherine reveals: 1) Whether you're a woman with a high body count. 2) Whether you're a woman who's sent nudes. 3) Whether you're a man who's married to a woman described by #1 and #2.

Guys, I mean it. If your idea of Orthodox masculinity involves bossing women around, acting entitled to them, demeaning them, degrading them, or especially humiliating them in public for crossing you, then you are *not* husband material, according to Chrysostom.
Alex@Ikonizontes

My main thought about Orthodox Dating Discourse is that single men should read St. John Chrysostom's 20th homily on Ephesians. It's addressed to husbands, but single men should understand what's *really* expected of them in a Christian marriage.

@ValealohaHEV @TheCatholicEngr And by now they probably know he's the type of person who shares revenge porn on Twitter because he felt slighted by an ex. That'll show her.

@TheCatholicEngr His friends, family, priest all read it and likely knew who he was in the article. His reputation was killed. At least hers is now too.

“Men: get cut into 10,000 pieces for your wife.” “And what do I get in return?” “Nothing, of course. She’s a free woman, she can do what she pleases. How dare you suggest imposing obligations upon her?!?” “Oh, okay, no thanks. That’s a bad deal.” “You are scum.”

Sometimes I notice there are people in the replies of my tweets trying to dispute them. I thought I’d clarify that this isn’t what they’re there for. The tweets are for you to study and learn from.

@crop_duster69 @JordanSchachtel AI companies will super specialize, so there will be many times more wealth creation and of course many times more things to be bought and sold.

Jordan Schachtel@JordanSchachtel·
People keep asking "what jobs will AI destroy?" Wrong question. Instead, ask what a brilliant 14-year-old in West Virginia can now do that he could never do before. Previously all his relatives went into the mine bc that was the only door open to them. He was largely doomed because of where he was born. A kid growing up in that same holler today can build an AI company from his bedroom. Think about what that actually means for opportunity in America. The Doomers are wrong. These new tools will make the system more meritocratic, more democratized, and more distributed than ever before.

@JordanSchachtel @graceandaplomb1 Seems like you could learn the process yourself with the same effort--which in the long run would eliminate the effort as it becomes automatic. If you want it done right...

@graceandaplomb1 Download Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, etc. Ask it to teach you how to prompt effectively. Once that's done, use these AI tools to help you come up with a gameplan on how to bolster your business. You're only 54. You can do it!

@DDDrewDaniel @LegoRacers2 From shonen manga, where friendship and effort help characters achieve things like Super Saiyan lv. 3, Gear 5, or getting really good at sports or rakugo.

@LegoRacers2 is this a concept from videogames or comic books or something? in what way is it relevant to the discussion of literary fiction? idgi : will I be a better reader of Beckett or Zola or Morrison if I apply a "power-scaling" logic to their literary characters?
