The greatest of all sins is a man's ability to decide that the truth is not important or not what they want to hear, so they turn away and look elsewhere. The second greatest sin is a man's ability to convince other men that a lie is better than the truth.

If Spencer Pratt wins as Mayor of Los Angeles the best pary will be how IMMEDIATELY obvious it becomes that disgusting dangerous cities are a deliberate political choice the Democrats make to hurt and control you. This is why Democrats CANT let @spencerpratt win. This is why WE must help him win.

The feminists who complain men don’t do enough around the house seem to have absolutely no idea what men do around the house.

The thin end of the wedge was the culture of polite lies surrounding race, sex, religion, and sexuality that began to permeate academia in the postwar era. This led directly to massively increased female participation, which then reinforced the trend due to women prioritizing social harmony over verity, thereby establishing a positive feedback loop that eroded the epistemic integrity of academic culture. As academics became accustomed to averting their gaze from polite fictions, it became much easier for them to accept other deceptions. The old collegial culture of courteous but vigorous disputation was replaced with the new collegial culture of vicious enforcement of orthodoxy. This rendered academics much more ideologically pliable, which perfectly suited the goals of government bureaucrats and corporate marketing departments, who did not want truth but plausible-looking justifications for predetermined social engineering goals.

Black Americans closed literacy gaps rapidly in segregated schools before integration, and lost ground after the 80’s and 90s. I don’t think racial segregation would dominate if Brown was reversed. Still, why anyone, especially a black person, wants their child to be in any of these school systems is beyond me. Take that any way you’d like.

Look, I'm not a Catholic. I wish them the best, and how one reconciles "papal infallibility" with blatantly political secular Popes (the Borgias et al) is up to their religion. But, the dark horse Chicago Dem Pope Leo was elected specifically for the purpose of trying to 1/

YouTube claims to be very angry about “inauthentic content.” So angry that they demonetize creators for 90 days. They still want those creators to keep making videos during the punishment. But here’s the kicker: while they’re “punishing” the creator, YouTube runs ads all over that same inauthentic content… and keeps 100% of the revenue for themselves. They want the videos. They want the ad revenue. They just don’t want to pay the person who made them. Brilliant business model.

@thewriterme Not after that.

My father was aboard the QE2 when something very similar happened- of course prior to her retirement. Not pleasant. Are you a cruise person?

Jill, can I call you Jill? Most homeschool kids still have to take state assessment tests. You know what state assessment tests do, Jill? They test to see if the kids are learning what they are meant to be learning. My family always scores way above average. Most homeschool kids do.

@ItsTheEnforcer At the least it is full of their bots.

I’m curious… How many of you think the podcasting space is full of CIA or intelligence operatives trying to shape public opinion?

My advice is to ignore the preaching and find a church with people you like. I mean, don't go to a church where the pastor's defending prn or something, because that will eventually kill the church. But ignore doctrinal differences if the people are the kind you want to raise your family with.

For a change of pace… The church my family has been attending for the past couple years isn’t something I’m happy with. The pastor has fully embraced “prosperity preaching” and spends entire sermons clubbing you over the head to tithe. I seriously feel like he’s a bad month away from his own “lock the doors” moment. His wife, the “co-pastor,” literally turned her back on me when I was going through a rough period, both personally and professionally. Honestly, growing up, I never had a good church relationship. There was a LOT of bad disguised as good. The older I get, the more I realize how toxic that environment was. For my little girl, I want her to grow up in faith. I want her to be a true believer in the Word. I want her to enjoy Christ and a relationship with Him. I only hope we can find a really good church in Florida that can nurture all of it. Y’all pray for my family and I, please.

@DrFrankModels My house got the same ballots this time for a family member who should have been stricken from the rolls a decade ago. So they certainly aren't deleting those bogus voters from the roster.

“The Oregon Shuffle” I have several copies of Oregon’s state voter rolls, and have been helping grassroots patriots there to understand the shenanigans their state is pulling with their voter rolls. First, when the SoS claims to be removing inactive voters from the rolls, you should ask him, “OK… but how many *new* registrants have you added?” Like your bank account… you take some money out, and put some money in. What matters is the *net* balance. Second, who’s checking up on him? Certainly not the county clerks; most of them don’t even have the capability. But I do, and I am. Here are the basic numbers: In January 2025, there were 3.8 million people in the rolls, with 3.04 million of them considered “active.” (Strange, since they only have 3 million voting age residents.) In March 2026, there were 3.74 million people in the rolls, with 3.08 million active. (Strange again… the voter rolls have been growing much faster than the population since 2014.) Between January 2025 and March 2026, the SoS removed 331,000 voters from the county rolls: 139,000 active and 192,000 inactive. But between January 2025 and March 2026, the SoS added 253,000 voters to the county rolls, essentially replacing the removals. We call this “voter roll churn.” The average churn in the county voter rolls since 2021 is 74%. Did the county populations change that much? No… but the voter rolls did. (We can track every registrant in the rolls.) On April 29, 2026 the primary election ballots were mailed with excessively dirty voter rolls… again. This wastes LARGE amounts of money (about one-third of the ballots do not have a legitimate destination) and makes it easy for bad actors to manipulate the outcomes of Oregon elections. (It provides a credit line with lots of wiggle room.) This will continue until citizens and counties stand up and refuse to comply with the illegal and unconstitutional election system that is being imposed on them by the state.

@memeslich I played a session a few weeks ago where I found out later the DM had used AI to plan the plot and encounters. We got TPK'd halfway through. The DM has only been doing this a few years but still should have recognized how deadly that encounter was going to be.

Do you think ai will become a core part of dungeons & dragons?

@MourningWife @WallStreetApes The video also mentioned she was in Europe, which might have a reason why it's regionally "insensitive" to certain non-local facial patterns.

@TaleMasterTOV @WallStreetApes I was thinking the same thing. Add Native American to that. My husband's eyes were not big open eyes. He would have had a hard time with this tech.

American was driving a brand new 2026 car The car gave her an alert that said it couldn’t see her eyes. The car then automatically disabled the gas and slowed down enough that it could have caused an accident She had to lean toward so the car’s facial recognition could register her eyes and stop the “kill switch” because the car thought she might be asleep “It was a 6 lane highway and all of a sudden the gas stopped working and I'm pressing on the gas. I can't get the car to go. So the car is dinging, it's making all this noise and I can't figure out what's going on. And I look at the dashboard and in English it says, sit up straight. We can't find your eyes. Why? Why do you need to see my eyes? — when I sat upright, the gas would work once again. And so I pressed the gas, but I was slowing down enough that it was gonna cause a traffic hazard. And the thing is, it knew I wasn't asleep because I was pressing on the gas. So it knew I was awake. It just wanted to see my eyes. So once I set upright and leaned forward, I guess it did facial recognition. And then it says, may I send you these results to a third party” This is horrifying considering the new mandate to have kill switches in every new vehicle by 2027. It looks like it’s already happening but overseas, we’re just next This technology can and will be abused by the government

@Arkypatriot Some kinds of smart are superior to others. For instance, being "book smart" means you have the ability to pace your mind and to visualize what you read. It also means you have mastered comprehension, which gives you an edge up in interpersonal smarts as well.

Are you aware of the theory of “multiple intelligences”? It suggests intelligence isn’t just about test scores or being good at math. Some people are word smart, music smart, people smart, nature smart, body smart, or deeply self-aware. And honestly, life proves it every day. What kind of “smart” do you think you are? I also believe that most of us can have more than one of these.

I’m not a “Disney Adult”—I take my kids, we go as a family activity—but I am an adult who loves Disneyland and I feel the need to clear things up here as a fan. (No, I’m not defending people who go into debt with vacations or hobbies they can’t afford, although that phenomenon is not exclusive to “Disney Adults” for crying out loud). 1. Disneyland was not made just for kids. Do you think kids in the 1950s were clamoring for a 1912 Main Street complete with ragtime music and horse drawn vehicles? Walt Disney created that for adults, so they would be struck with nostalgic emotion and recall their own childhoods when they walked into the park. That was ALWAYS the plan. 2. It was never just families who attended amusement parks. Think of state fairs, carnivals, boardwalks etc that have always attracted adult couples on a date as well as families. A family friendly fair or festival with rides that attracts people of all ages has been part of American culture forever and it remains so to this day. Walt Disney wanted to create the world’s best amusement park experience, and he did. 3. Disneyland has always—again, from day one—hosted events that were specifically designed to attract older teens and adults. They had night clubs in Fantasy Land in the 80s. They have Club 33, a Food and Wine Festival, etc. 4. Disneyland is very attentive to details only adults would notice, and ensuring the experience is great for them. They’re the best at crowd control and customer service. The park is clean. I’ve never had a bad day there. The rides are world class and fun for all ages, with impressive artistic detail. This level of service is expensive to provide and that’s what guests pay for. It’s not expensive because of “Disney adults,” it’s expensive because you won’t get gum on your shoe or have to use a filthy bathroom. Go to Knott’s and you’ll find out quickly why Disneyland is more expensive. 5. Walt designed the park to make you feel like you’re walking onto movie sets when you enter each land. Again, this was for adults, mainly. 6. Walt loved trains and made one so he could ride it. He modeled Main Street after his childhood home. Walt Disney was a Disney Adult!

@CuriosityonX The assumption here is that we would send a celebrity or somebody who has back-stabbed their way into a position of political power. In fact, probably the best representation would be that sweet little senora from the laundromat.

If aliens requested a meeting with a sole individual to represent the human race, whom should we send?

@DieinPlace In my old Tales of Vantoria game those were a "domesticated" monster from the space-faring home-world but the ones players were meant to combat would have escaped from the farming enclaves and bred in the wild.

Anyone ever used a Giant Amoeba in your game? I've never found a way to wedge that into a campaign.
