The Bible tells us to love our neighbors and also our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.~GK Chesterton

@ZubyMusic God also says if you don’t work, you don’t eat so which one is it?

Today I learned that I'm not a real Christian because I live in Dubai and have two ads on my podcast. 🙃 God forbid a man earns from his work and takes care of his family. YouTube comments FTW.

Why can you see 50 documentaries about the Nazis on streaming services, but none about Communism? Dont get me wrong, Nazi docs are important. I watch them and learn. You should too. But come on! The West has memory-holed Communism. Why?

Imagine being submerged for months without no sunlight. They can do this every opportunity they can for all I care.

The Iranian regime uses rape as a method of state terror -- assaulting both women and men in prison to break them and demoralize their families.

I’ve often believed that the Armenian Genocide is under studied and underreported in the west because: 1. The Young Turk CUP (Committee of Union and Progress) was blatantly progressive politically, which makes progressives today look bad. 2. It murdered orthodox Christians, few of whom live in the west. 3. It shows a Muslim genocide of Christians, which goes against those trying to portray a Muslim/Christian alliance. 4. It shows the bizarre alliance between leftism and Islam for evil gains 5. It shows a very educated and advanced Islamic society falling to barbarism, which counters the narrative that education makes us moral people (the same issue can be found in the advanced and educated German society in WWII) 6. It undercuts the intense persecution of orthodox Christians for millennia, and harms the myth that Islam can coexist with Christianity.

@tanpukunokami 2) are compatible with pork products. 😉

@tanpukunokami 1) My religion teaches us to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Despite a thousand years of churches showing differently, Jesus’s gospel requires very few rituals and rules to be followed. Jesus says His burden is light. Humility, fear / love God, love your neighbor is

To my Muslim friends, I hear some of you want to live in Japan. Let me be honest with you. More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth. Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract. Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals, New Year means a visit to a shrine. When someone dies, we cremate them. And refusing a drink? That’s not really part of our culture — here, people pour one for you. This isn’t hostility. It’s just 1,500 years of daily life. And we have no plans to change it. Before you come to a place that doesn’t fit you, please — think it through carefully. For your sake, and ours.

Here’s how to make authentic tonkotsu broth. Ingredients (serves 4–5) ∙Pork leg bones (genkotsu) — 2 kg ∙Pig’s trotters — 1–2 ∙Pork back fat — 200 g ∙Green parts of leek — 2 stalks ∙Ginger — 1 knob ∙Garlic — 1 whole bulb ∙Water — 4–5 L Steps 1.Prep the bones. Soak the bones and trotters in cold water for 1–2 hours to draw out blood. Then parboil them in plenty of water for 10 minutes, drain, and scrub off any clinging blood and scum under running water. Skipping this step leaves a gamey smell in the final broth. 2.Start the boil — high heat. Put the bones in a large pot with the water and crank it to high. Once it boils, keep it at a hard rolling boil the entire time. This is the single most important rule of tonkotsu. Skim off the scum aggressively for the first 30 minutes. 3.Long simmer. Boil hard for 8–12 hours. Top up with water as needed so the bones stay submerged. Around the 6-hour mark, add the leek, ginger, and garlic. Drop in the back fat at the same time so it melts into the broth. 4.Crush the bones. Once the bones have softened in the later stages, smash them with a ladle or rolling pin to release the marrow. This is what drives the broth to that deep cloudy white and gives it body. 5.Finish. Keep the heat high so the collagen and fat fully emulsify. When the broth turns milky white and thickens, it’s done. Strain before using. Key points ∙Low heat gives you a clear broth (chintan), not tonkotsu. The hard boil is non-negotiable for that white, opaque color. ∙On a home stove, 8 hours is realistic. A pressure cooker gets you close in 2–3 hours. ∙The seasoning tare (shoyu or shio) is made separately. Hakata-style: pour the tare into the bowl first, then ladle the broth on top.

@tanpukunokami Jewish people would have difficulty too, but the difference is that they don’t come with violence in their pocket to force change. Thankfully not all Muslims are violent, but as long as their religion insists Mohommed is the best Muslim example to follow, the essence won’t change

@triggerpod @WTSmith17 Maybe one problem was his video not content because it took place in high school with minors. I saw parts of the video or read the transcript. He did a fantastic job as a teacher without any condescension or shaming. He prodded the kids to think. So well done. I’ll have to watch

This is What Made Warren Smith's J.K. Rowling Video Go Viral

@maiab $66 K is HALF of income of $130 K. Car / house payments? Utilities? Food? Clothing? Medical / health? Insurance? Taxes? Car/ house maintenance? Education? Entertainment?Guessing childcare should be about 10% of income to be still be profitable unless they have no car/house paymen

@MONVALLEYGIRL like $130k or more would cover it

this woman is spending $66k/year on daycare for her 4 kids WHY DON’T PEOPLE JUST GET A NANNY

@CutWithout @TheMiddleborne My church pastors and Christian school teachers encouraged our questions. We all know that some pastors & priests abused their congregations, though.

"When you grow up in the Church, you're taught to not question anything." No, YOU just never THOUGHT to question anything. You got to age 28 and had a crisis of faith over things we asked and had resolved in high school.

May the fourth be with you

@SethDillon @SimonSaysKnow Plus Occam’s Razor is boring, and conspiracies make them feel smart.

@NotTheirScript @SethDillon Exactly!!!

@SethDillon Rule of thumb: if your explanation requires more people to keep a secret than have ever successfully kept a secret in human history, your explanation is wrong.

It's because of this chain of reasoning: 1. Official narratives have been wrong before. 2. Therefore, official narratives can never be trusted. 3. "Tyler Robinson did it" is the official narrative. 4. Therefore, any other explanation is better, no matter how baseless or speculative. Obviously, 2 doesn't follow from 1, even though 1 is true. But people have convinced themselves that it does follow, so no amount of evidence supporting the "official narrative" will ever change their minds. They skipped rational skepticism and went straight to irrational skepticism, where conspiracy is the only available option.

@DelusionPosting I don’t know why people believe nonsense like isha posted.

This is the stupidest strawman (South Asia app store btw)

No one wants to ban surgery that saves a woman’s life. Banning life saving surgery is the opposite of the pro life position. The point is to SAVE life, not take it or let it a woman and her child die. I don’t know why people believe nonsense like isha just spouted.😕🙄
