“shooting”

pushing lies

How did you determine what was true in this situation and what was false? I am curious about your methodology.

Wow so much freedom. You can’t even alter a picture that you own.

It was the power tie.

I had no idea there was one about the Buddha. It must be as fascinating as watching paint dry.

Tune in next week for episode #2,058 in The Buddha:

Siddharth has a long discussion with some monks about stuff, meets with a god who tells him he is correct, walks to the neighboring town, and then tells a person a parable.

Edit: not exaggerating here. It is multiple times longer than the Bible and is all about one guy.

What an image of Mohammed on atheist memes and it has t been locked by mods? Hell must have froze over.

It’s called abstraction, maybe if you paid attention in class you would know what that is.

Do any full adults bitter about incidents of their childhood really think it was out of spite? I just want a simple yes or no. Like the teacher gets paid either way, and it must be awkward as fuck to drag a shy kid out a bit who is going to be wrong. I just wonder if people really really believe this was out of malice.

Johnny knows the answer, Johnny always knows the answer, Johnny shouldn’t even be in that class, and yes Johnny puts his hand up each and every time. Tim might know the answer, might not. Tim never talks. Tim is in big trouble grade-wise if he doesn’t know the answer on the next exam. So give him a nudge, make sure he knows that he doesn’t know, and maybe he will study. Cause if you let Tim just sit and space out they are going to get an F.

Anyway back to your bitterness. I am sure it is perfectly reasonable to be a 32 years old upset about being called on by teacher when you were 11.

Oh. Well keep your chin up things. Confidence and competency are key.

You never had sex on the first date?

You are right we don’t trust kids. That is why doctors are involved.

Terf Island: we already fucked off so hard we aren’t even in the EU anymore. That’s the maximum amount of fuck off we can manage

Joshua 7. Oh wait sorry we are pretending it wasn’t just plagiarized from earlier stories.

Acts 5.1-11

My second date with my wife I suggested on the phone we go check out a new restaurant by my apartment that had food from her native country she said “it’s fine, save your money. I will just go to your place and cook”. She did and I helped. That was 15 years ago.

Mentioned this story to many people over the years she always blushes.

A proud moment for the leftwing everywhere. Downplaying rape to defend a russian spy.

Not them but

Basically it started as a back to earth movement. With the idea that since civilization wasn’t working out everyone should hunker down with their little group following some shaman. For all the many flaws of Chinese government it ran the irrigation systems that kept people alive, it protected the population from invaders, it brought order and wealth that were not only good things in its own right it allowed some part of the population to do things like make art.

Taoism tried to roll this all back. Instead of philosophy and law seeking greater and greater clarity it wanted mysticism. Instead of finding ways that less people would starve it asked people to accept the world with the blind faith that over enough time problems would be fixed. Try telling your hungry child that in nine generations everything will be fine.

The greatest sins of Taoism are engineering and organization. Instead of humans adapting the world to us we must adapt to it, no matter the cost. The only way you can believe in this doctrine is if you believe in a fall. We had a perfect world that we broke. Thus we get original sin again but I can’t even give them credit for that since their philosophers didn’t take their ideas that far.

We humans live in a world that is undesigned. That’s what the data tells us. There was never a one that became two or whatever.

Literally all of that I can do in an urban area. Especially video games. I know this is shocking to you but us city people have video games. Jesus

It’s the noise of a forklift backing up and air compressors for me. I never said a word about it but I noticed one of the factory workers always turns it off when he sees me. Really appreciate it and I give him homemade baked goods.

Think my wife turns on the vacuum cleaner when she is angry at me, but that is probably too cynical.

Ask yourself the same question. Not trying to pick on you but think of all the people on your side that are only on your side because of they agree with you on like 25% of the issues or because or some quality.

Just an example of something people are relatively calm about: I can be pro-union for lumberjacks but not want the Pacific Northwest to become a dead parking lot and the spotted owl to be extinct. I agree with them on one issue and not others.

Ask Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan to explain it to you.
