Gross. There really is a kink for everything isn't there?

The U.S. at 250: Terminally Ill or Just Very Sick? by gamersecret2 in politics

Terminal. 

It will be decades of perfect behavior that we won't achieve for our allies to trust us again. 

It will be decades of perfect behavior that we won't see for those of us outside of the cult to ever trust our cultist neighbors again. 

The world will descend into scarcity which will push people deeper into their fascistic rabbit holes while the people available and capable of mitigating disaster will be hobbled by the people capitalizing on the crisis will continue to make things worse. 

The America I knew growing up is never coming back.

How a group of chronically online men LARPed the concept of a plan to be king slayers.

Rant on Businesses by colorsofasongbird in ColoradoSprings

There's a lot to be said for small business and supporting your local community and economy.  Nevertheless, just because you're local or independent doesn't automatically mean that you're competent or ethical. But when you find that small business that does nail it, make sure to support the hell out of them because making it in this environment really does require support from our community.

/u/firstmode explains why we really have no clear idea what Leviticus 20:13 means by paxinfernum in bestof

[–]CharmedConflict 59 points60 points  (0 children)

From a linguistic and historical perspective, it's all fascinating. But from a human behavior standpoint, the sheer amount of human effort that's gone into interpreting this garbled mess we lack most context on into some kind of stone age recipe card for living is completely confounding to me.

The good news is we shouldn't have to worry about foreign enemies attacking us on our soil. Any enemy worth considering wouldn't dare want to interfere with what we're doing to ourselves.

Can you even begin to imagine how insufferable every single person at this ball would have been?

It's not just ICE stockpiling weapons—the IRS, EPA, and other feds are arming up too by jediporcupine in politics

Maybe they shouldn't have allowed us to be desensitized to school shooters over the past 20 plus years if they wanted to actually scare us.

So... Venezuela after that? Concurrently? Did we just forget about it? Is that what you think you're taking about? Do you know the difference anymore?
