@dander Do you really think that the enlightened, well educated, free and independent thinkers of Reddit would ever get fooled, do you? Clearly not, so the Bakhmut demon is most certainly real! Anyone saying otherwise is just falling for Russian propaganda, and need to listen to the experts instead of falling for fake news!

Though seriously, with how astroturfed Reddit is, I have no idea how many people really believe this shit. Not sure the point of this lie, it will not last.

@furgar No, economics is not astrology for men.

This is astrology for men:

@basedbagel So I don't want the same thing happening to men. A better way to improve skin health is eating healthy and exercising often. Less greasy food means less pore excretion of any bad things and exercise to make sure you are not a fatass (stretched skin).

Also, is "mid" another one of those Zoomer speak words? I have seen that pop up recently.

@basedbagel I would prefer men NOT put on any makeup. Not because of any sense of pride and saying "we can't play their game or we would be just as bad," but rather that I theorize that makeup is a large part of the reason many women's faces are so bad. All those layers covering your body's pores and other parts cannot be good for your face. Why do so many women complain about having "bad skin" and needing a good skincare routine? Because they keep screwing with their body.

I see plenty of this sort of nonsense with those claiming that Christians should be onboard with whatever progressive-globohomo agenda item they want to force on everyone, often with torturing the interpretation of the Bible. But this is an example of straight up making up context that was never there, which is far worse as it is easy to demonstrate how it is an obvious lie.

Saw the same thing in a pro-gay presentation claiming Jesus "affirmed a gay couple." Wrong!

Regardless of whether or not you are a Christian, you should at least understand my contention with his absolutely bogus statements about what happened in the Bible. This is supposed to support his premise that abortion is okay with God. Yes, the same God that tells his people not to commit murder is fine with abortion because liars like this want you to conform to the world rather than conform to God's teachings. Oh yeah, there is something in the Bible about that too: Romans 12:2

Sometimes the internet takes me down quite the rabbit holes. I found this particular video (not exactly current but who cares):

https://youtu.be/Oz378QPGLfc?t=101

At the timestamp, this "scholar" claims that the angel "asks" Mary if she would want to bear the Son of God, and it only happens because Mary says yes.

Read me Luke 1:26-38 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1:26-38&version=NIV) and tell me if this looks like the angel "asked" Mary. No, he told her it would happen.

So clearly this man is full of shit

@deprecated_ii How is a man to know if a woman is interested if he does not initiate? Women expect men to initiate, so these men are doing that. Men who don't are very unlikely to ever just magically find a relationship.

And most men do not just want friendship with a woman. So no shit they are going to see if there is potential for a girlfriend. This woman is just mad that non-Chads would dare look for a relationship because it is inconvenient for her.

@basedbagel Can you do the same against a fly? That's the next level.

@dave As long as people will vote for someone that makes them feel warm and fuzzy inside, we are going to be vulnerable to more and more tyranny.

This is not exclusive to just one group, as many people will defend the worst actions of someone as long as it is "their guy."

And so many people are simply ignorant of the fact that Obama has some skeletons in his closet, just because the TV told him that he was just sunshine and rainbows.

@WashedOutGundamPilot When you are filming in a public location, you cannot have any expectations that other people are not going to want to just live their lives normally.

How often has this woman been told "No?" Not often enough, it seems.

Even I might not like life becoming more difficult, and I might even be among those who would get upset. But I may need to learn to deal with that. It matters not if I like it or not, but rather what will I do if I face a more difficult life. The only choice I have is to deal with the difficulty as best as I can.

I like to think I am adaptable, but a collapse of any severity will put that theory to the test.

That is indeed a worst case scenario, but even considering the downgrade in the standards of living will be something most people will not be able to swallow. All necessities being extremely expensive means less disposable income for things that people most certainly do not need. We are too used to comforts, and taking away those comforts will drive some to think it is the end of the world even if it is not.

If the US does full on collapse, I think it will shock most people living in the US. Yes, we have many bad signs deterioration, but most people still are living fairly comfortably in spite of the issues with inflation.

Food not being on grocery store shelves, electricity turned off, and gas not being at the pump are things most people are not going to be able to contemplate. For most people, that will mean death.
