@AuntHat_47 @BLQlabs @SDSLLC_USA That’s a bunch of words explaining how he bought a woman with pieces of dick skin, Jeane.

Well, let's start with nothing in any of these comments is a parable. But, if you are referring to the foreskin thing here is what you need to know. In 1 Samuel 18, King Saul demanded a bride price of 100 Philistine foreskins from David to marry his daughter Michal, intending for David to be killed by the Philistines during the attempt. Instead, David and his men killed 200 Philistines and brought back their foreskins, exceeding the requirement and forcing Saul to honor the marriage contract. This unusual bride price served multiple purposes: Political Trap: Saul disguised his jealousy as a request for national revenge, hoping the dangerous mission would result in David's death. Covenant Symbolism: Collecting foreskins highlighted the distinction between the covenant people of Israel and the "uncircumcised" Philistines, while also serving as verifiable proof of victory. Historical Context: While ancient Near Eastern customs typically involved material dowries, this demand was a lethal test of military prowess rather than an economic exchange. David’s success in fulfilling this demand solidified his status as a national hero and son-in-law to the king, further intensifying Saul’s fear and envy, which persisted until Saul’s death.

My best advice for kids wanting to college today is NOT to go to college. Go to trade school!! Why?? Becaause they'll be stuck paying student loan debt while AI is steadlily taking their jobs. Yeah, you can hate me today, but you'll see that I'm absolutely right in time.

@AuntHat_47 @SDSLLC_USA The bible also talks about a dude buying a bride with Philistine foreskins. Should we start telling kids to do that too?

Actually, in biblical days learning a trade was a requirement for every male. Paul, who may have been the most educated man of his time was also a tentmaker. This way of looking at life certainly makes a lot more sense than the way we have been doing it. My dad, fortunately, could do many things in the area of repairs and carpentry, laying flooring. He did not go to trade school. He learned these things as a part of his life. He was a far more valuable man than my ex-husband, a university professor, who couldn't do anything that a man should be able to do, and do it well. If I had my life to live over again, a man with practical skills would be a requirement.

@Corona3743 Minimum wage in MO=$15 KS=$7.25 That burrito in KC costs exactly the same as it does in Emporia

You can’t afford lunch because you demanded the guy who makes your burrito and your door dash driver should be paid $30/hr and get free healthcare.

@Blacknatwatch @OrangeClownTown @keithedwards Then why haven’t the Republicans done something about it when they’ve had control of both houses of Congress three times since passage of the ACA?

@OrangeClownTown @keithedwards The median individual is spending far, far more on healthcare than they would have without Obamacare after accounting for Healthcare inflation.

Mark, you are standing next to the guy who gutted Medicaid, the ACA, and put a conspiracy theorist in charge of HHS. I can’t think of any one person who’s done more to destroy healthcare access, and yet there you were with him.

@PolitiBunny @perseverare1776 @RondureGyre Zero nutrition. Tons of sodium. Mmmm eat up kids.

@perseverare1776 @RondureGyre You’re too good for Raman? Grow up. lol

Many of us in older generations lived on Raman which is still just about 50 cents a pack. And no one is forcing you to eat out… make a sandwich. Take an apple or a banana. Can of soup is a buck. Hope this helps.

@AudibleStorm @Ukrwarviewing @F0UNDINGST0CK You all would’ve scrolled past if her kid was white, racists are taking the opportunity to trash her in spite of the fact that she made it. Being happy they’re successful in spite of the odds isn’t promoting single motherhood, as if that’s something little girls aspire to.

@ryanbleess1 @Ukrwarviewing @F0UNDINGST0CK No. Because, again, the overwhelming majority of kids born to single mothers do not have a positive life outcome. You should nut be promoting behavior that leads to overwhelmingly bad results, because it turns out well sometimes.

Dad couldn’t make it huh? I bet it’s so unlike him to miss those special occasions! He must be so proud!

@Ukrwarviewing @AudibleStorm @F0UNDINGST0CK Wouldn’t that be a reason to congratulate her for beating the odds, graduating from college while raising a child on her own and making sure he graduates as well?

@ryanbleess1 @AudibleStorm @F0UNDINGST0CK That’s what you are doing actually, pointing to a single anecdote. The stats support what the other guy is saying

@AudibleStorm @F0UNDINGST0CK No, morons will point to this one example and make broad generalizations

@ryanbleess1 @F0UNDINGST0CK Nice strawman. Single motherhood is, by and large, a huge net negative on society. Morons will point to this one example where the kid managed to meet societal expectations to whitewash the other 80% who end up, at best, contributing nothing. But you already knew this.

@CosmicV @charlesn898 @TheEzMackGaming I did survive. Reliable used cars were cheap in the 80’s and 90’s.

@charlesn898 @ryanbleess1 @TheEzMackGaming Lol, I didn't have a reliable car until I was 30. You guys would have never survived a few decades ago.

Living like Boomers did in their early 20s won't get you what Boomers were able to get in their early 20s. Flat out. You're not getting a down payment for a home by packing a lunch. Min wage in 1968 was equal to 1.8 oz of gold. That's $200/hr in todays $.

@KCHSBall (wrestling parent) “There’s high school sports coverage?”

The Kansas City Star used to have all metro teams. They've basically abandoned high school sports coverage.

@AudibleStorm @F0UNDINGST0CK Ah yes. Societal ruining behavior like (checks notes) graduating from college and successfully raising a kid

@ryanbleess1 @F0UNDINGST0CK That he actually calls out societal ruining behavior like single motherhood?

@Zynbar_Island @F0UNDINGST0CK Yes it does. She graduated from college and raised her kid who is also celebrating a graduation. What more do you fucks want?

@ryanbleess1 @F0UNDINGST0CK Not really tbh

@doe_goe64411 @F0UNDINGST0CK Many reasons she could wind up raising that kid on her own. Do better

@ryanbleess1 @F0UNDINGST0CK Cuck

@CosmicV @TheEzMackGaming Are these $500 cars in the room with us now? A 25yr old CRV with a qtr million miles costs 4 grand No mobile phone or internet? Good luck applying for a job.

@TheEzMackGaming Most generations lived in small houses and drove beater cars when they were young. If you lived in a 900sq ft house in a rural area with a $500 dollar car, no Internet, no mobile phone, you would be fine. You don't have the stomach for that level of existence.

56 wrestlers were crowned as double champions over the weekend at the Southern Plains Regional Championships in Oklahoma City, Okla. Nearly 1500 competitors took the mats throughout the three-day tournament. go.themat.com/upglX

@MickeyBlowtorch You don’t think branding fast food burritos as a luxury points to issues with the economy?

The more I read this entitled bullshit the more pissed off I get. I ate a broccoli shrimp pasta meal prep for lunch today that my wife made for around $4.00 a serving. Chipotle is a luxury.

@9b56a5b4dee744c How will it hurt small businesses if in your words nobody’s making min wage anyway?

@ryanbleess1 It's a poorly written law with no ceiling. It will hurt small businesses the most. They are 99% of Oklahoma's businesses with over 50% of the workforce. It will cost jobs & businesses and cause inflation.

Two states neighboring Oklahoma have a $15/hr minimum wage. Missouri, which is fixed without increases and a cost of living 10% higher. Colorado, which varies by city and a 45% higher cost of living. Vote NO on SQ 832!

@FuzzyStonks @Cernovich They didn’t make $1.50/hr for their entire mortgage term and I’m in the age group that was able to get in before prices exploded. Difference is I’m not afraid to admit that kids are fucked now and I’m sick of the generation that had it all whining about having to pay their taxes

@ryanbleess1 @Cernovich They paid off their house for 30 years making like $1.50 an hour. Instead of being a covetous baby, focus your eyes on the actual problem which is the current system.

Do Zoomers get drafted for a meat grinder like the Vietnam War? Pay 20% mortgage rates? Lose pensions? Have entire industries like factories close down? Wait in line for gas stations due to oil shortage? Every generation has something to complain about. Life is never easy.

@DrMichaelModica @anthonyzenkus The US government makes it work on every military base in the world

@anthonyzenkus Because no one has made this work, NYC will try. Definition of insanity.

5 publicly-owned grocery stores in a city of 8.3 million. One tiny step toward using the commons for economic relief and you know the monied class is going to freak out. Que the whining millionaires in 3, 2, 1....
