Good riddance. Everyone wants to just half-ass in peace, society should reward the coercion of critical thinking...

Wait, am I the monster?

Recipes for a Small Planet; Not totally vegan, and got it from my grandma so it's old af. It's also kinda the original vegetarian permaculture cookbook. I don't have it's companion book, Diet for a Small Planet.

(*Edit: After looking up what vegan communities have to say about it, it does need to be iterated that while I love the recipes, it also reinforces the "incomplete protein myth". Believing in which raises the barrier of entry to veganism more than is necessary or reasonable.)

Image search "Yahweh and his Asherah". Back when he was chill, Him and his best bud barely had a complete outfit between them. (Then his gf/sis ran off with his buddy, and the rest is human history /jk.)

That is fully on me for assuming gender. There's always a Smithers.

Because the LGBT+ community (by it's relationship with the BDSM community) acknowledges even when they want this, it's ultimately bad for everyone on a whole. Any lesbian I know wouldn't want to normalize that situation. It's the worst of what the patriarchy tries to get out of women.

Consider her in a sex slave situation that starts consentually. He can affect the power structure such that she doesn't get to change her mind later (when she stops finding him attractive). Even if he was someone who actually ultimately cared about her, if she realizes/assumes she can't say no, has been conditioned to not say no, believes saying no jeopardizes her status & well-being, or has otherwise developed learned helplessness, then he doesn't even get to know when she no longer consents. There is no consent.

Then consider the power corrupts (unpredictably) and he winds up a real piece of shit and she winds up pregnant. Now she does have family and somebody to care about, but she set up the system to give her no control over what happens to her daughter she loves and wants better for. This event isn't even uncommon. That's why the BDSM community has all the ethical guidelines they do. Stay safe, sane, and consensual.

The greatest measure of our society's most tragic failings is that I can't just get on a train/boat asap to give you a hug. Fuel ain't free and community doesn't benefit power, so by neither measure can I afford the day(s) away for affection.

And thus does the loneliness pandemic deepen.

Bro it's just clones. Clones all the way down. Massive quantities of galactically illegal, horrifically unethical bootleg clones. Clones to live again. Clones to proxy leadership positions. Clones to gather collective power in the dark side of the force. We could all do clones, we're just not all assholes like that. (*Clones were a metaphor for sycophants, wage slaves & trafficked slaves. I realized afterwards it's a stretch.)

It's about using something else's water for her coffee, so she doesn't use more water.

They aren't exaggerating. They're modifying to fit the "cunning greedy" antisemitic trope face. Big nose is fine, they made his hooked. Tooth gap is fine, they made him look like he's been holding out on the dentist to chew gold. Long, flat side-pointy grin is fine. They made him look like a nervous Grinch contemplating the suffering of others with glee.

The difference is so stark one wonders if you were saying this in good faith, in contrast to the presented dirtbag devil's advocate (there's no reason regardless to give them a benefit of the doubt nor defend them given what their position and the points they're making, even if the art style were borderline).

It's a round about way of expressing that correlation does not imply causation. It was done so that everytime someone shares this meme of a guy wearing a T-shirt over his flannel, someone in the audience can explain that the graphs intentionally represent a fallacy.

"I SAID, I AM A GIAN--" "I knew it!"

No, the idea of the antichrist knowing is a supposition of them being a servant of the beast. A cultural assumption of Satan's "human servants" having first hand communication like one does with a human boss.

Inasmuch as I could play with the idea of believing in revelations, I would believe that it's less about a "chosen one" antichrist, and moreso an "antichrist candidate" that when someone can fulfill the roll and obtain power; then it's a sign of times incoming. Also, (lego) Brick Bible Revelations is a fascinating interpretation.
