@FinalDresdonation @sardonicsmile Indeed. Placing any energy in analyzing election maps is meaningless when the election can be "safe and secure" with 4 a.m. ballot drops.

It also makes me wonder how long anyone will care to bet on presidential elections. I will have to see when sites like electionbettingodds no longer have a purpose for tracking who is betting the winner for President.

@sj_zero Speaking of plastic grocery bags, you can repurpose them as garbage bags for small garbage cans. Always had this growing up, and it baffled me when an older guy once said he just threw them away.

I mean, cone on. They have a built in mechanism to tie them up, and they work better than the small garbage bags that are supposed to only be for that purpose. Next time I see someone advocate for banning plastic grocery bags, I will ask them if they ever buy small garbage bags.

@WashedOutGundamPilot These are the same people who will unironically warn you about "false negatives" when testing for Covid. Yes, because apparently you should still test even if you admit that the tests do not work (because they don't).

@DW2 >built on peaceful protest

Yeah, no. The colonists took up arms and fought the Great Britain when they found out that there was no amount of peaceful means that would get what they wanted. Which also explains why our founders included the 2nd amendment in the constitution.

Yeah, we have not really made that much use out of it, but the fact that we still have that option means we still have a little hope.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Every conversation? Does he want them to hate the US even more?

Also, gay marriage is not a great litmus test for freedom, as we have seen what happens once they get that. You better bake the cake or we will sue you! And if you want to see the school curriculum, we will declare you domestic terrorists before we let you see how we are feeding your children constant trannie propaganda!

@mutageno No man has an obligation to marry a slut, no matter how "reformed" she is. Your reward for reforming is God's grace, not a reset button to avoid all consequences. And it is not condemnation for a man to refuse to seek marriage with a woman with a promiscuous past, despite what some might say.

And as for the "communism" part, all giving/sharing needs to be voluntary. And as for being "hippy," I would highly disagree with that accessment. Christianity is not "just be nice to each other"

@mutageno The son in that story had asked his father to treat him as one of the servants upon his return, which showed humility and a lack of entitlement (as opposed to just expecting to just get special treatment). Yes, the father throws a party, but that was not the son's demand. Also, the story is a parable about how God the Father rejoices when one returns to following his will.

Many women who are "reformed" expect that men will automatically overlook their past.

@mutageno You are most likely correct. Though it is for God to know who is truly repentant or who is just pretending.

One thing that is often misunderstood about forgiveness and redemption is that it does not mean you get to wipe the slate clean like nothing ever happened. For example, this woman should not expect that her "redemption" means that she will be able to get marriage from a traditional conservative man. If she would not accept this, then it means she is not a true believer.

Posting this again, as I am making it a tradition to post it on Easter.

Excuse me. What? Why is there a church in the same building as a synagogue?

@rohrkrepierer @Mr_Mister I have been greatly enjoying Louis ripping on the current state of NYC commercial real estate. Most overrated city ever.

@mutageno Oh, and they got real mad for being called what they are.

Almost 10 years old, but it still applies. This anon is correct about the Muslims being more reasonable than the western progressive leftists. They are certainly the better option, so if I have to choose between the two, I will side with the Muslims.

Not saying I would be happy about the end result, but I will take their harsh but consistent rules over the incoherent standards of the left.
