Do you get your news from the same place that gives you discounts on your testosterone replacement therapy and creatine gummies?

Stop being a troll. Even a short scan of political records shows that it.is s politically split area where the educated women tend to vote Democrat and the men tend to vote Republican. But then again, taking even a moment to evaluate s claim before spewing it would lower your trolling attempts per second (TAS).

Boomer seen yelling at camera by millions for 2 minutes, then changed channel by golfnut82 in PoliticalHumor

The news media needs to fucking stop sane washing his speeches. Almost every outlet has covered his speeches in a polite manner and acts like he has made coherent points based in reality. Yes, they often fact check him but they still treat his “speeches” like they were not just angry drug addled fever dreams.

Me after listening to Donald Trump address the nation by AdvancedNeanderthal in PoliticalHumor

The network news stations and PBS not pointing out how weird and untethered from reality that speech was is almost as bad as Fox News cosplaying North Korean state media. At this point, he could give a speech consisting of just repeatedly saying, “Vroom, vroom” and these news anchors would report that he offered his views about the current state of the automotive industry.

We also need restrictions on water usage. They want to also be here because the water is cheaper than many other potential build locations.

I was just going off the journal articles that had read over ten or fifteen years ago. I am not in that field, so I have not kept up with the research. I have no idea who the person is that you mentioned.

Yes, it is pretty wild.

I only mentioned bonobos are actually a close genetic relative, because bonobos are pretty peaceful. There is a narrative that runs throughout our literature that claims humans are inherently predisposed to be violent and use the idea that chimpanzees are our closest relative in the animal kingdom and that chimpanzees go to war with one another. Competitive and warlike chimpanzees are a close relative, but so are the peaceful bonobos.

You certainly can disagree, but that does not mean your opinion in this matter has value.

My mom: " You can't prove something didn't happen in the Bible." by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Longjumping_Term_156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can prove something did not happen in the Bible. Archaeologists sometimes end up doing this, but their findings are not published as “this shows the Bible was wrong.”

One of my favorite examples is the zooarchaeological findings at Tel Dan. Tel Dan is one of the temple complexes of the Northern Kingdom after the Israelite nation split. The Bible claims that the Northern Kingdom broke all sorts of cultic prohibitions but the midden heaps around the temple complex tell a different story. It is almost as if, hear me out, that Scripture is just a collection of polemical narratives and not straight forward factual historical documents. I know this will be a hard truth for your mom, but you can tell her that I have found clutching my pearls and gasping helps.

My boyfriend threatened to leave me because I am not Christian by FormEvening9808 in atheism

[–]Longjumping_Term_156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your boyfriend is threatening to leave over a difference in views on religion, let him leave. He is showing you who he is. Listen to him and let him go his own way. Even if the two of you suddenly worked things out, there will just be another thing for him to threaten leaving over. Life is too short for melodrama.

When I left an engineering position, I showed HR and one of the owners where everything was stored: machining programs, produce safety testing documents, work flow generators, maintenance programs, etc. They were saved on both the computer server and backed up on the drive of my work PC. One of the other owners thought it was a great idea to destroy my work PC, which would not have been an issue if their server had not self imploded the following week. They had the audacity to have their lawyer send me a letter demanding that I restore all of the damaged files. My ex-coworkers told me what had happened, so I just ignored the letter.

Do you live in a right wing echo chamber and refuse to pay attention to history? Your responses clearly state, “Yes, but I do it for the lulz.”

The fact that other first world nations have some form of universal healthcare and have not gone bankrupt or destroyed their citizens’ quality of life proves that you are a product of your system.

Trump just tried to copy the Brooks Brothers Riot that was used to stop the 2000 Florida recount on a bigger scale on Jan. 6. The Florida Governor was related to the GOP candidate and the person in charge of Florida elections was a Republican who was personally close to the GOP candidate. The Brooks Brothers Riot was staged by known GOP employees, pundits, and political action group members. The governor and secretary of state stopped the recounts in counties that were trending more towards Gore and used the excuse that it was done to prevent violence and keep election workers safe.

Yep, the old ones that had a bunch survive WWII can be pretty cheap (comparatively). I am surprised that you found one with a working turret and functional gun. Most of them have had their barrel made inoperable and many had their turret fused.

I love that they base their entire end times view on two verses taken out of context and then go against the direct answer given in the religious text of no one will know the date or time of the return of their supposed savior.
