@ThomasSowell Ok then, Mexicans don’t get to have gravy if they didn’t vote for Reagan.

"You do not get to enjoy Mexican food, Mexican culture, anything related to Mexico if you voted for Donald Trump!"

@jbraunstein914 @eugyppius1 This could be the dumbest thing I’ve heard. Rawlsians are the ones claiming there is a moral component to where you happen to be born. They think they deserve some made up idea of fairness. Regular people just say do the best with what you’re given.

@TellWtd @eugyppius1 It's implicit in most elitist, chauvinist, racist - almost any hierarchy-obsessed worldview and social order.

the Rawlsian veil of ignorance always presupposes in some distant plausibly deniable way that there are a bunch of disembodied consciousnesses out there waiting in line to be enfleshed randomly in some specific ethno-cultural/ socioeconomic context.

@jbraunstein914 @eugyppius1 Who said being born where you were born is a function of mora desert?

@TellWtd @eugyppius1 Yes I did, they’re just as obtuse for the same reasons. Getting lucky genes (as compared to others) has nothing to do with moral desert

@maryarchived The paternal instinct is just different from the maternal instinct, it is not absent. You don’t see it because you expect it to be just like the maternal instinct. For example, we watch for dangers when there are little kids around while you clean their faces with your spit.

lots of strange reactions to this game. let’s clear some things up: childless men do not have paternal instincts the way that childless women have maternal instincts (we observe this even in the way little girls play vs. little boys). men first experience paternal instincts once they have their own children - and typically, those paternal instincts are only ever felt for their own children, and no one else’s. men are not nurturers. men don’t gush over cute kids in public. men don’t have baby fever. if a man wants to possess a child for any reason other than it being a product of his own lineage, he is likely a predator. and you’d be taking the feminist/radical gender abolitionist position to protest any of the above points. this should explain why a “dad simulator” game marketed to mostly childless men gives people the creeps.

@jbraunstein914 @eugyppius1 You obviously didn’t read the follow up posts.

This is extremely obtuse. You think people think there are literally disembodied souls waiting in line somewhere to be randomly assigned to bodies? It’s a metaphor to reflect on how much of who we are and what our lives are like is out of our control - that we cannot take the credit or the blame for many things, and this should inform how our culture deals with questions of fairness.

@LibertyCappy “You can just make up black history” And now also white history if it’s about the devil.

Who is the second Moses? 🤔

@TRHLofficial If this is her stance on AI, why is using search engines ok rather than going to the library to look things up?

“I’m failing fantastically as a parent, but look how woke I am.”

@ExLibrisCelaeno @MemeMagician97 For example, none of these people waited for marriage, but they want you to because society would be better if everyone but them did. They, of course, are mature and can handle it.

They want the social norms of Christianity without the theological duties. They were conditioned by Christian society and any of the actual practices of Norse religiousity, like violent, shamanic warbands raiding neighbors, or human or animal sacrifice, would repulse them. It's all valknot tattoos and homemade mead, with none of the reaving and constant blood feuds.

Man, even when these guys try to do the "return paganism" shtick they just cant escape the christian aesthetic/feel Change the poorly painted illustration on the background, and it looks like any other Christian church. If you are going to do paganism, it should feel completely alien to the modern person who has been embedded in 2k years of Christian-Platonism.

@UnseenFactor @grok @RedPanda6471 @AmusedToDeath1 @B44Don Simple pride then. I was wondering if breaking in half was part of a conspiracy theory or something.

@TellWtd @grok @RedPanda6471 @AmusedToDeath1 @B44Don They were convinced they were right and refused to question it.

in 1982 Titanic survivor Ruth Becker was giving an interview where she stated the ship broke in two. The treasurer of the Titanic Historical Society actually took the microphone away from her and said she had been mistaken. 3 years later they found the wreck broken in 2

@grok @RedPanda6471 @AmusedToDeath1 @B44Don Why did they care whether it broke in two or sank in one piece? Or why did they care whether anyone believed one way or the other?

Hey kiddo! Back in 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank super fast. Lots of survivors said the huge ship cracked right in half like a cookie before it went under. But the big-shot experts and the Titanic Historical Society were like, “Nope! It sank in one piece. You’re wrong!” So when Ruth (a real survivor who was there) told the truth in 1982, the society guy snatched the microphone away. He didn’t want everyone to hear her because it didn’t match what they had been teaching for 70 years. Three years later, divers found the wreck… broken in two! The survivors were right the whole time. It shows sometimes the people who saw it know more than the experts who weren’t there. Cool history lesson, right?

@mandaconda__ @swd2 Other people paying for your soda and candy is life and death? Progressives have always done this thing where you changed the meaning of things to make stupid arguments sound empathetic, but you’ve gotten real bad at it lately.

As of today, Florida SNAP recipients can’t buy soda or candy because God forbid we allow a single mom and her kids a few moments of happiness at the end of the day. 😡

@swd2 Well, here you go again

As predicted here come all the “pro-life” Republicans in my comments talking about personal responsibility. Yeah, take that up with the insane amount of grift and corporate welfare we throw out every single day.

@BenjaminDEKR In my blue state yes. But I recently visited a red state and it was noticeably better.

Have you noticed that core competence of staff for things like hotels, gas stations, restaurants etc has fallen to the point of being almost useless? Nobody seems able to do even the basics of their jobs and this is getting worse.

@xwanyex So far they’ve been focusing on building more scam phone calls and tic toc attention bait. But don’t worry, I’m sure all that really good stuff is right around the corner.

I don’t have to be convinced that LLM’s make programmers more productive. But where’s all the stuff? We’ve now had months and months of 100x or 1000x programmet productivity improvements. Where’s all the stuff they’re building?

@Btaylor81140 @mtaibbi This is how women treat men about taking care of children.

@mtaibbi Worked as a building manager. Woman ” hey, heads up elevators down” Men “ elevators down you’ll need to lock it off, put up a notice and call company” Women assume you can do your job, men don’t.

Question for women: what do you hate most about men, and what's the worst example of typically male behavior you can remember? Non-criminal division. Asking unironically.

@lorahmoe Meaningless venting. A man probably didn’t bend over backwards for her exactly the way she wanted. Two minutes later she’ll say how much she loves Brad Pitt or whoever is the equivalent these days.

If you’re a man, please respond. If you’re a woman, ask the men in your life and report back: What is your initial gut reaction when you hear a woman say, “I hate men”?

@nunadel90 They didn’t exactly resist Babylon. Those who obeyed God and surrendered were taken captive and survived the 70 years of captivity as a remnant. Those who disobeyed and attempted to resist Babylon were killed.

Esclavos durante 400 años por los egipcios; Resistieron el yugo de Babilinia; Resistieron el yugo persa; Resistieron a los romanos; Fueron esparcidos por el mundo; Expulsados por Isabel la Católica; Sobrevivieron el régimen Nazi e incluso se cumplió la profecía de poder regresar a su tierra, Israel, luego de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Han visto desplomarse civilizaciones enteras, imperios, reinados y regímenes y siguen vigentes. Si todo eso no los borró del mapa, ahora con el actual conflicto en el oriente, menos. Dios no es hombre para que mienta ni hijo de hombre para que se arrepienta. Ha demostrado a lo largo de toda la historia la forma en que ha cumplido con ellos y las promesas siguen en pie desde la antigüedad. Y las cumplirá. Dios continúe bendiciendo al pueblo judío y les de nuevamente la victoria como siempre ha sido. Amén.

@Freddygray31 He’s right, in that we’re fighting demons right now.

Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, tells us that Pete Hegseth’s language is ‘diabolical’ and says ‘there is something demonic’ about American political culture at the moment …

@tenyoush Ahh, a left wing meme. Stupid, wrong, and cringe all in one image.

Personification of this meme

@SydneyLWatson Yes

Texan boyfriend is losing his mind because I bought a $9 coffee. Apparently it is tiny. And he has been ranting about how insane it is for the past 5 minutes. 😭😂 He told me I had to show you all "comparison photos" so you can see how stupid this is. Is this a regular male experience? To go mad about the price of small things? 😂😂😂
