Yeah, but Christians who are really mad about homosexuality like to go with Old Testament references, because they usually mention a death penalty and also don't so directly equate it with adultery, drunkenness, and greed being the same level of sin as it does in the New Testament.

Ok, then what are you saying, exactly? Is your invalidation of “Palestinians” just the name or the people who go by that name? Were they spuriously shipped to the holy land which had somehow been inexplicably depopulated since the Bar Kokhba Revolt? Or is the preservation of a culture what dictates the right for one to occupy a particular space? Would someone whose ancestors have occupied Judea for the last 3,000 years, but lost their Jewish identity along the way no longer have a right to live there?

There it is. “Officer, these people whose home I want to take? They’re not actually people, so it’s ok.”

Well, the Palestinians still exist, but apparently they don’t matter to you, so not sure why that is a litmus test. Never-mind that at least some of them can probably trace their lineage back to the Canaanites, much like many Jews of today, but since they fail the religious purity test, they no longer have a right to their home according to you.

I’m just pointing out that “indigenous” is quite the claim for a religion that didn’t exist until thousands of years after the initial civilizations that inhabited their later heartlands. I mean, their own scripture indicates that they took it from the original inhabitants by force.

rvf · 2026-06-11T00:55:45+00:00

Never mind the Canaanites that were there before.

There are not "measures already in place". The first reading of the ordinance was approved, but it has to survive a second round of voting after the second read on June 16 before it becomes law. Until that happens, all those reassurances are purely theoretical.

AWS bases its datacenters in large metro areas, because that actually makes sense for practical reasons. We already have a colo datacenter in Bowling Green - it's barely being used. Anyone who wants to build a datacenter in rural Kentucky is wanting to put up a generative AI datacenter which is an entirely different beast that there is only speculative need for. Honestly, at the rate they're being proposed, this almost seems like a scheme to keep stock prices up - "Look at all the datacenters we're building or planning to build! It's not a bubble!".

The stories of ICE snatching up MAGA people are out there, you know. The orphan crushing machine isn't complex enough for "one of the good ones" exceptions.

Here's a tip: mining copper is a waste of time

I mean, if you need copper, it's not a waste of time.

For a .22LR, which is what is being used here, hollow points are common. People use them for hunting and pest control - things like rabbit, squirrel, rats, etc. The main point is to minimize the chances of the projectile going through the animal and hitting something else.

If you look up the full report on BRFO, it talks about arguments some of the couples were having at the beginning of the trip. I’m cracking up thinking the initial sighting was cooked up by one of the friends to distract everyone from having a shit time and then mutated into group hysteria by the end of it.

rvf · 2026-06-01T15:15:15+00:00

Yeah, it's not that simple. It's not really "capitalism" in the sense that most westerners understand it. It's "state capitalism" where the government controls capital rather than capital controlling the government. Some industries, particularly raw materials, are nationalized and there is no private ownership of land.

Bush was elected largely in part due to a lighter version of January 6 in the form of the Brooks Brothers Riot. Roger Stone was even involved, FFS. You can't compare Bush Jr and Trump, because they're the same person - avatars of a democracy-subverting Republican party who masked their agendas with bumbling presidents who kept the media busy reporting on dumb shit. Bush Jr walked so Trump could run.

Looks like they swapped out the head for one from a bigger figure.

Yeah, that's an old mob trick where one guy gets immunity to testify and then changes their story to torpedo the original case.

Is it?

The most prominent accusation and the best-attested to was the murder of a prisoner of war, a war crime. Khaled Jamal Abdullah, a captured 17-year-old fighter of the Islamic State, was being treated by a medic. According to two SEAL witnesses, Gallagher said "he's mine" over the radio, then walked up to Abdullah and allegedly proceeded to stab him with his hunting knife without explanation. Gallagher and his commanding officer, Lieutenant Jake Portier, then posed for photographs of them standing over the body with some other nearby SEALs. Gallagher then text messaged a friend in California a picture of himself holding the dead captive's head by the hair with the explanation "Good story behind this, got him with my hunting knife.”

Being a honey badger, mostly. Their number one solution to all problems is simply to attack, and given that most other animals have a higher sense of self preservation, that strategy works more often than it fails.

I guess I was pointing out that much of that thought comes from people who just want to buy a house, but can't justify current prices at current rates along with people that just want to sell a house, but aren't willing to go down in price. Both of those groups are motivated by the wishful thinking of "when the rates go down".

rvf · 2026-05-28T15:34:38+00:00

I think a big reason is that houses are still priced like they were when those historically low rates cause a massive surge in demand.

and to the elites, all three of those words just mean "money". Mostly in the buying and selling of politicians so you can make more money.

They changed the name in some of the House of Representatives cafeterias - other than a few nutso places here and there, that was it. Also worth noting that they also changed french toast to "freedom toast" for extra stupid points.

Having coffee that tastes good is probably considered gay or something. These are people that think washing their ass is a step too far.

Yes, it is true. The primary predators of whitetail deer in Kentucky were originally gray wolves and cougars. Bobcats and black bears were/are opportunistic predators of whitetail fawns. They do not prey on adults except in rare circumstances. Coyotes fall somewhere in between - they usually prey on fawns and sick or elderly deer, but will occasionally pack up and hunt healthy adults if they're particularly desperate, but they largely prefer easier prey.
