@normonics They're always joking but rarely in on the joke

It's very hard to tell when libertarians are joking

This is @JDVance and @GavinNewsom 's worst nightmare A ticket for Americans to get behind:

@PlastiqSoldier @mattyglesias No, you're just retarded and condescending about a subject with which you lack basic understanding. Common problem
English
@RealJohnDios @mattyglesias If the soul isn't the body, then that's dualism with extra steps.
English
It is not surprising to see that the Pope endorses a lot of superstitious mind/body dualism about artificial intelligence but it’s still wrong, even as he is also raising a lot of good points about some of the risks at play.
English
The problem is you're not the lesser evil and it's not even close. It takes a constant reinforcing of a weird negative parasocial relationship with the president to evrn make that idea remotely believable, and he still got elected twice. That fig leaf expires in three years.
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion
In a time of unrest, all sides get worse. That's an unpleasant reality we have to acknowledge. It's always a question of the lesser of two evils. I'm not going to sugarcoat that unpleasant phenomenon.

I don't care what they do with DST. I'm up anyways. Just pick a permanent setting and stick with it so this can be the last year of listening to people who wake up after 8am cry.
English
@PlastiqSoldier @mattyglesias The Catholic position is that the soul and body are both integral to the human person. If you don't know that you're probably not in a position to be swearing lmao
English
@RealJohnDios @mattyglesias What the fuck is a soul, then?
English
@MattRob78281471 @mattyglesias Thanks for weighing in, retard
English
@RealJohnDios @mattyglesias Soul-body dualism is the metaphysical basis of the Faith.
Only a barbarian would deny that.
"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own SOUL?"

@nealjclark1 I can't think of a better bulwark than a small town with easily influenced institutions and home ownership as far as things go these days but there's no sure bets. It's a roll of the dice either way.
English
It really is a no win. You can go on the lamb because you fear the specter of the State but the State won’t leave you alone. In fact you will be subjected to many different and idiosyncratic state enforcers across various jurisdictions without the benefit of counter institutions

The "settled" householder can only derive his security from political stability, genuine democracy, or through violence (either of a defensive or of an insurgent type). Absent any of these he is only a sitting duck for tyrants. His metric tons of "stuff" cannot be easily moved when an ill fate should threaten his household, and so he is stuck. His investment is not movable; he must do what the local authorities demand of him, and be subjected to any degradation of his local area that those authorities may cause or tolerate -- simply by virtue of his fixity in place. He must either make an appeal to a stable, benevolent, and noble political authority, or he must exercise his rights as a citizen of a functioning democracy -- or he must either violently revolt, or defend himself. In our times, none of these are options. We have no great Monarch, nor a functional aristocracy. Our democracy is in shambles. Yet the state is incredibly effective at preventing uprisings and even of depriving the householder of his right to self defense. In these conditions, owning a "forever home" is not really possible -- because no matter where you are, it is only a matter of time before cynical, corrupt political forces (or ghastly moral and cultural forces) come to threaten your way of life. In such times as these, there are only a few theoretically possible options: 1. Re-establishment of a stable and virtuous political authority. Good luck with that. 2. Fixing the almost limitless number of flaws and structural failings of our democratic system. Again -- good luck. 3. Attempting to foment some kind of an uprising in case of tyranny. An excellent pathway to prison time. 4. Extreme mobility. The abandonment of the "forever home" idea. This may not be ideal, but it is certainly a possibility, and will remain so no matter how much worse things may get. What is left but option #4? Even in the absolute best and most "free" political jurisdictions in the USA, there seem to be structural problems embedded in the politics of domestic migration that will threaten those places on a long enough time scale. To expect one of these places to remain favorable for a lifetime is an immense gamble. This may be how the American Khanate is born.

We were all just pepper sprayed by ICE.

@grahamformaine That something? Two gay guys talking.

@daught3rz1on Get their lazy and theologically unsound asses!!
English
people are running away w this when pope leo is clearly writing this as a continuation of jpii's laborem exercens, which suggests that work does not dignify man so much as it is NATURAL TO man, such that a man who refuses to work is denying his own nature, dehumanizing himself
gatito jetón@gatojeton
Pope Leo just condemned the idea that "work dignifies man". We. Are. So. Back!
English
If it weren't for inherent dignity, some of you would have no dignity at all 🤣

@fishmans017 Alienated work under capitalism in no way dignifies anybody though.

@Noahpinion Am I required to physically attack ICE facilities to be a Democrat?
English
As a supporter of the Democrats, I freely acknowledge that the Democrats have gotten much worse over the past decade.
But the Republicans have gotten worse far faster, and they started off worse to begin with. So you should still be a Democrat.

@Empty_America Grant Platner outrage is pretty prevalent IRL among boomer types. I think the outrage machine is just broken because of how Trump has been covered (and managed to neutralize the outrage) for the last decade. In recent history they'd have pulled his candidacy very early on.
English
This is very new however.
It didn't used to take much "dirt" at all to sink a political candidate.
Howard Dean yelled one time and it was a big deal.
But people are fatigued of all that now, jaded.
Zaid Jilani@ZaidJilani
A lot of credit for Platners victory goes to Dem senators who endorsed him and didn’t pull out after all the Reddit stuff. Finally they’re learning that Twitter isn’t reality.

@wrowclif @RolandGunnTN Potlucks are less frequent but I feel like coffee and donuts are ubiquitous here. Moreso if there are a lot of kids because they want to hang out and play and it gives adults something to do
English
@RolandGunnTN Our church here in Saint Avatar has a potluck once a month after church, but coffee and donuts chit chat has been a thing forever
English
How is church coffee a "trend" when it's been a thing since forever?
You guys perplex me sometimes
Roland Gunn 🇺🇸@RolandGunnTN
This “coffee hour” trend in non-Orthodox churches is totally unnecessary. A few times a year we can have a potluck, thats enough. I don’t need to eat with you every week.
English
@Siciliboi A lot of the older guys will wear a suit here but it does not have this gay vibe of high fashion and keeping up with the Joneses. Probably the same suit they've had for 30 years.
English
This is some kind of gay thing, right?
Religious Sailor Moon@tradcatboy
Derbys are a casual outdoors shoe. Please do not wear them with a suit to Mass. These shoes are basically superfluous now, they’re not formal enough to wear to anything serious, and we have better informal options. Just delete them from your wardrobe.
