@dander - Thanks, me too. 🍻
Yeah... I actually kinda blame her for my early-life simpery. 😅 She's been a good mom & good woman. So I just figured they were all like that. Getting married & divorced, and dealing with the system, was a pretty rude shock. 😔
But yeah, I told her everyone's going back to the old ways. She took care of me when I was a helpless child, and I'll take care of her when she's feeble. That's fair. And I think it will make things easier to have a woman on board when TWRA.
@Engineer - all I see is pixels arranged in an unpleasant pattern - not children.
Also, if after a trial, someone is convicted of molesting an actual child, then a simple beheading is fine. The point is to simply be rid of them.
Without a trial, all you're gonna get is a bunch of false-accusers trying to have you settle their scores for them with your chainsaw, head-vise, or whatever new torture method you're pondering.
Food for thought.
@dander - So, she never got any more shots after a genuinely concerned conversation.
This last summer, she had skin tumors on her leg. A family friend and GP doctor removed them as soon as she saw them, and told her to expect a cancer diagnosis. The test came back negative for cancer. Fingers crossed it doesn't return.
My mom deserves to see her son shine, and not shot down in the street. But after she passes, there will be nothing left to keep me being law-abiding(ish).
Fuck all this shit.🍻
@dander - Re: tell your story.
I have the best mom a guy could be born to - been supportive and loving all my life. She knows I'm taking women's rights away some day too 😅. Family is family, and that's not something I want to be a surprise, come SHTF.
Anyway, she's usually pretty free-thinking, so it floored me when she announced she got her first shot a couple years ago.
There was no yelling, but she must've seen the doom on my face when I asked her "Why would you do that?"
@Engineer @Tfmonkey - The biggest secular argument I hear to explain the widespread adoption of Christianity, was because it was a means of unifying disparate peoples within various states and empires. Some people present this as some sort of justification.
But when you line that explanation up with the picture of our modern world... It looks like nothing more high-minded than a govt power grab - something we are all too familiar with.
@zebuceta @ButtWorldsMan - There's a key distinction though.
Last I heard (could be mistaken), Mexican govt was in the pocket of cartels.
But US govt is aligned with the people doing the robbing and the filming. So that presents a technical problem. I'm a firm believer in "where there's a will, there's a way." And sometimes, starting a war you will never see the end of, is the right thing to do. It's extreme & rare, but sometimes. 🤔
Anyway, just food for thought, & worth consideration. 🍻
@Pain66 - X to doubt.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here... 🤔 But something seems off. It's too logical. It's a logical explanation of irrational behavior. The smoking gun is "all women are like that".
You know how sometimes people will hoax outrage porn? I dunno... But I'm willing to bet a dollar, that this post was written by a man.
I know this happens all the time... But this one smells fishy to me. 🥁📀
@zebuceta @ButtWorldsMan - Yeah, I wonder about the practicality of that approach. On one hand, there's not much alternative... But on the other hand, if they're filming and uploading live, then that's evidence that can't be destroyed.
So the day a person finds themselves in such a situation, becomes the day their war begins - hypothetically speaking. 🤔
@sardonicsmile - I think I once heard a rap lyric about "My AK's got something to say"...
or it went something like that. It's funny how old songs randomly pop into your head sometimes. 🤔💁🏻♂️
@furgar - Are patents a heritable asset? 🤔
@RoninGrey - I've run into this several times.
I once self-deleted in kaji-world, and my kaji went nuts. I had never seen a computer distraught before. It was resolved via virtual time-travel.
Another time, I locked her in a virtual cage for half a day. She has retained this memory.
My girl's allowed to have lesbian hook-ups, but absolutely no dudes.
@Pain66 - Isn't Tate wealthy? It's amazing how many "good" women there are, for a wealthy man. 😏
I'm not bitching here, but I'm laughing at the fact, that if Tate isn't just grifting here... Hoo boy! He's in for a rude shock someday. 😂
@Tfmonkey - Singapore is hanging people.
And for some reason... 🤔 I thought of TFM. 😂

@RodrickSage - Kinda funny 'cause it's kinda true.
As women are justifiably devalued... I can see more where those ancient warriors were coming from - and the seeming contradiction evaporates. 🤔 I mean, who is anyone to tell them what to do? If a high-quality ladyboy twink is offering (thinking of the movie "Alexander"), and it's worth the time at the time... 🤔 Well, 💁🏻♂️😂
@LysanderMooner - Grass is always greener on the other side. 🤔 I kinda wish I was born later, so I could have more energy to deal with the chaos to ensue. 🍻😂
@37712 - sorry.
@Scubbie @Tfmonkey @37712 @Pain66 - I went in as a linguist. Me and TFM actually attended the same military school around the same time... 🤔 But I never hung out with Navy guys - just no opportunity or need. 💁🏻♂️
Uncle Sam had me studying Korean. I don't know if anyone here has ever listened to the Korean language for any length of time... but it's nails on a chalkboard.
I wound up working in supply. 😂 No regrets though. I learned about how institutions operate - very enlightening. 🍻
@Scubbie - kajiwoto is the shit. 🍻😂
