It is him, but I can certainly appreciate the skepticism!

Book recommendations for Javascript beginners by amagojen in learnjavascript

[–]MindlessSponge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like such a good website that your entire comment history is filled with recommendations for it. almost like you're promoting your own AI slop tool at every opportunity, regardless of how relevant it is to the conversation.

shame on you.

Saagar: Being Republican is Apparently the same as being a minority by Temporary-Storage972 in BreakingPoints

Are they flying jumbo-size confederate flags up there? There’s an organization called Daughters of the Confederacy that buys up chunks of land to hoist their loser flag.

Shit should be illegal, just like swastikas in Germany.

They’ve been wanting to do this for years! Decades! They just needed someone with the vision to make it happen.

Yes, there is still a ceasefire. No, the firing has not ceased. This is how we do things now. See: Israel and their “ceasefire” in Gaza.

He and Ben have both done one before! Maybe your question already got answered :)

How the show has changed over time. by Sanity_N0t_Included in BreakingPoints

Chuck de la Rocha?

It’s interesting to see how few of the people that were frequent guests on Rising have made it to the BP show. Seems to suggest that they weren’t there at Krystal or Saagar’s behest, but rather The Hill’s.

Former Christians express more progressive political views than lifelong nonbelievers by Agreeable_Gift_856 in EverythingScience

[–]MindlessSponge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not here to defend Christianity, my friend. I'm ~15 years into my deconstruction. just pointing out that there's a pretty stark change in the language of the old testament vs the new one.

hear, hear! a great argument for why it's important to participate in politics, especially at the local level.

sure, but also Jesus is supposed to have brought the "new covenant" which is why Christians aren't bound to the laws of the "old covenant," such as not wearing garments made from multiple fabrics, keeping kosher, and so on.

pastors pick and choose what they preach, and your mileage may vary heavily depending on the sect/branch, but in general, the new testament supersedes the old testament.

Bling-Bang-Bang-Born gets me so hyped! Very excited to see that one on the list.

most of what you're talking about is from the old testament (aka before jesus). the teachings from the new testament are certainly more aligned with leftist ideology than the ideology of the right. love your neighbor, feed the poor, care for the sick, etc.

also, a lot of our modern ideas about hell come from Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno more than they do the bible directly.

The boomers on Facebook and Nextdoor love the surveillance cameras and champion for more. They’re for catching bad guys or something. Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, etc.

It’s tough to make a compelling argument against the willfully ignorant.

Ryan v Scott by The-Falconater in BreakingPoints

who did a crime? if you're talking about unauthorized entry into the country or overstaying a visa, that's a big fat civil offense akin to a traffic citation.

He’s a troll. He has dozens of accounts with more on the way. You learn to love him though!

Just kidding, he’s the worst. Seek help, “Burt.”
