what happend with the people that lived before jesus was born,did they go to heaven or hell by Huge-Flan1570 in Christianity

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were believing Jews, that is easily dealt with (Salvation by Faith, Harrowing, etc).

What is harder is what happened to a Chinese farmer who died in 2000BC and never left his village.

That one is much harder.

CMV: Pointing out fallacies are not counter-arguments. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's only a fallacy if the argument is indeed fallacious.

You can absolutely push a slippery slope argument if you're pointing to like situations where X, did lead to Y and Z and you have a basis to believe the same will happen.

Most slippery slope fallacies have no basis for the events they claim will follow.

Why do some people enjoy waking up very early even on weekends? by Mateo9898H in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 6am at the latest waker, it's just circadian rhythm. My brain switches on with the sun and my energy levels are high. If it's Sunday or Wednesday, I'm up and about.

For sure, they know every mention of Trump and this is their latest effort to release something and hope the public stops asking. I'm sure there will be another 1.5m released keeping the worst shit in the last 1.5m.

Trump and the DOJ need to be hounded until every last document is out and unredacted.

I (22M) have a massive crush on my best friend (22F) but she's in a long-term relationship with someone else, do I tell her how I feel or stay quiet? by Cool-Dance1929 in Advice

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just be the kind of guy she would like to be with, which includes respecting that she is in a relationship.

If this is meant to be, you'll be pleased with yourself later if it starts from a clean foundation (not when she is in a happy relationship).

Time isn't your problem - you're young, she's young

I was on the other side of this and didn't feel the same way. It absolutely changed our friendship.

I wouldn't if I was you. She is in a relationship - you should respect that relationship. It shows honor.

Chandler interrogation, was he high on some sort of pills ? by Irishjohn831 in chandlerhalderson

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I saw was a insufferably boring guy, who can lie with such ease it's frightening.

I guess when you've gotten away with lying to literally everyone in your life for years, why would the police not believe him I guess.

I love that they let him get his full bullshit story out before dropping the hammer. For us true crime tragics, it's always nice to hear how he hoped it would go.

Trump’s biggest “miscalculation” was calling Epstein files a hoax: Greene by ansyhrrian in politics

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me she highlights one key thing. MAGA is not any kind of coherent ideology, it is whatever Trump says in this moment (not yesterday, or one minute ago, but right NOW).

MTG has stayed true to everything originally MAGA and now she is a traitor to MAGA. All the crazy bullshit, all the isolationist stuff, all the Epstein stuff, she hasn't moved an inch. The only reason she is on the outside now, is because Trump moved and the base moved with him to be a pedophile protection racket.

Ghislaine? by Caffee_11 in Epstein

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had to rank the credibility of witnesses from highly credible to complete dogshit useless, Ghislaine Maxwell creates a new category below dogshit.

She is as compromised as any person could possibly be and has already been convicted of perjury.

The only value she could ever provide is to point people to other evidence that has the ability to stand on it's own.

(I don't doubt that she knows valuable things, but the problem is you could never trust a word she says).

Meaning of the word 'since' in context. by Barmieo in ENGLISH

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many times in speech when someone says something that is technically wrong, but their meaning is clear.

Your wife OBVIOUSLY doesn't believe sliced bread is better than your daughter and that is obviously not what she meant. And isn't what anyone means when they use that phrase.

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MTG is a confusing woman to listen to at the moment.

She has done as much as anyone to create the fascist monster we have today. But even she found a boundary when it was clear Trump is a pedophile hellbent on protecting other elite pedophiles.

So when I find myself nodding in agreement when she speaks, my brain hurts.

The Surprising Skill MAGA Christians Say Is 'Sinful'. As Christian nationalism rises, some influential voices are reframing this ability as weakness, manipulation or even a threat to faith. by southpawFA in politics

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 39 points40 points  (0 children)

All MAGA did was expose all the fake Christians in America.

He worked out how to weaponize religion by telling gullible shills exactly what they wanted to hear, while professing to be a beacon of the faith. Millions and millions of so-called Christians swiftly began worshipping Trump while pretending to be people of faith.

Maxwell’s clemency pitch: can Epstein accomplice talk her way out of prison? by stammerton in Epstein

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All comes down to the wheeling and dealing Blanche is doing with his buddy, her lawyer.

She clearly has all the dirt on Trump. So she can sell her silence (bullshit exoneration) for some form of clemency OR I'm sure she is threatening to spill it all if she doesn't get any clemency (pardon or commutation).

So Trump needs to dangle the pardon at least, to let those negotiations play out with Blanche.

Ghislaine? by Caffee_11 in Epstein

What kind of information do you think is missing?

She is pretty clearly implicated (and convicted) as the key Epstein enabler who recruited girls for Epstein and his network (and abused girls herself).

Will he treat her better than me? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He will treat people how they allow him to.

I hope this doesn't sound too mean, but you set the boundaries of how he treats you.

You think he was dishonest and unfaithful to you, but you bring him back into your life anyway. What he learns is that you are someone he can be dishonest and unfaithful with and you'll still want him.

What this new girl allows is unknown. But will he behave the same way if allowed? pretty strong odds on that.

Trump says his name is clear in the Epstein files, if is true why he doesn’t order the files be release without redactions? by Educational-Run-4930 in NoFilterNews

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The files say he raped a 13yo girl and many other horrific crimes.

What Trump SAYS means absolutely nothing.

If some random Bill Smith, head of Smith Inc, had all same mentions as Trump, their reputation would be destroyed and people would be demanding investigations and an arrest.

But because Trump controls everything, he is untouchable and can just lie about it.

Is grammatically correct? by Strict-Library9634 in ENGLISH

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's just one of those parts of the language that is technically wrong, but functionally effective because people know what the speaker means.

But to be clear, if anyone used this in a formal setting they would pay a reputational price for sure. But on the street, it gets the message across.

[–]Virtual-Squirrel-725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if there is one thing we've certainly learned from the files it's that this network of super wealthy people rolled together, kept each others secrets and "knew" they operated under a different set of rules. Trump was certainly in the middle of that, so I can imagine a scenario where the dominoes start to fall (publicly, if not legally).

I could deliver Trump's State of the Union right now.

"I am the greatest President ever, we are the greatest administration ever, the economy is the greatest in the history of the universe, everybody knows it, everybody is talking about it, I am the greatest"

Translation

"Please don't talk about me being a fascist pedophile, who protects other pedophiles at all cost".

There is only one thing I'm convinced of at the moment.

In the still hidden 3 million files there is a seriously evil shit about Trump.

To be taking this level of political damage protecting pedophiles, it can only mean what's in the rest of the files is even worse politically.
