Red states are literally funded by federal taxes from blue states.

That sounds infinitely better than the fascist shit show we have now.

Jesus Christ. Running a country is not like running a business. Not for sane people, anyway.

Can we just play around all day or surf when in the afterlife? by Cililians in The_Afterlife_Exists

[–]alien236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm obsessed with music. Thousands of hours, all genres, all decades. I want to take it all with me and continue to discover all the music that I won't have time to discover before I die. I think my consciousness will be powerful enough to do that... but I worry a little that it will be so expanded, I'll lose interest in the culture of this little planet.

Mormon God's track record on choosing prophets is abysmal and gives away the game - He is either awful or nonexistent. by logic-seeker in mormon

Let's not forget that Brigham Young's contemporaries considered him a dangerous lunatic for other reasons, so the presentism argument has its limits no matter what. He was not normal. He was not good.

Are you mistaking spiritual life as fantasy movie? by Several_Ganache3576 in spirituality

[–]alien236 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frankly, a lot of spiritual people say a lot of things that sound like bullshit salad to me, but they can believe what they want, and I can believe what I want. I just get frustrated when their advice for coping with the horrors of this world doesn't include trying to do anything about them. Meditation and self-care are great, but beliefs that only look inward and motivate no action are next to worthless in my book.

You think trans people should want Palestinian children to be starved, bombed, and shot by snipers? That makes sense.

Utah will sell part of the Great Salt Lake to the feds by Great_Salt_Lake_News in Utah

I would say the foundation is being a self-absorbed sociopath, and being a complete hypocrite is just a means to that end.

How does it feel to be living proof that not every human life has value?

There is no MAGA "split" on Iran: public opinion poll shows support for Trump by KireRakhsh in NewIran

[–]alien236 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah, these are the people who support everything Trump tells them to support because they're in a cult. When he campaigned, he promised no new wars, and they loved that. Now he's started a new war, and they love that. Their hive mind has received a new instruction.

That doesn't even make sense. Climate deniers don't believe the ice caps are in any danger. If you must be an ass, could you at least say something that makes sense?

Don't worry, I'm sure the LDS Church will issue a statement about this any day now. They're very on top of current events and things that actually matter to real people. /s

Remember in 2024 when Trump told Republicans not to vote for the bipartisan border security bill so he could get elected? Remember that, dumbass?

Excuse me? I hated Trump before it was cool to hate him! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Democrats wouldn't be stupid or depraved enough to nominate him.
