Genuinely most of the biblical reasoning I’ve seen used is that when Pilate says ‘I wash my hands of you’ it made the Pharisees responsible even though it was still Roman soldiers who did it, and that is not even close to how sin and blame works in either Judaism or Christianity
Folks, the bourgeois, they’re no good, everyone is saying it. All these workers, very handsome workers, they come up to me and they say–Comrade Trump, there is a specter haunting Europe–and they’re right, you know, they’re right. These bourgeois, they are very nasty people, very nasty, very rude–very unfair to the workers. They’re stealing our surplus value, and no one is doing anything about it! The proletariat comes up to me everyday, they do, they say–Comrade Trump, will you lead the revolution? And I turn to them and I say–Look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction, believe me, trust me on this one, have to trust me here. The means of production, Obama–folks, he never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I’m seizing them. Landlords? They’re done for, folks, no more, no more. Everyone would tell me, they would, they’d say–Comrade Trump, you won’t be the vanguard of the revolution–it’s true, they’d say that to me! They would! And they would laugh! The media laughed. The democrats laughed. Guess whose laughing now?
Oral hygiene has a direct relationship to your health, just the increase of heart disease alone is going to kill or disable so many people
Since fascists have tried to use tattoos in a coy, dog whistling way they think everyone with tattoos is doing the same
The lottery is a tax on hope
I cannot tell you how badly I want to watch an aircraft carrier sink
He’d need context: How many bolts of linen can you get for $80 these days
Ooh baby please tell me we’re going to get to see Trump try to politick the college of cardinals like a shitty Borgia
Remember the Tesla ‘robot’ that was a guy in a robot costume?
RIP again to all the people who upvote as a way of marking as read
We’re making tremendous deals with the Goa’uld, loser Jack ONeill can’t even imagine what they’ve given us already
The blocks of buildings in 1800’s Manhattan were designed with the idea that a shared courtyard or laneway between two buildings would serve as everyone’s outhouse and garbage burning space. As space became a premium these spaces shrunk but nobody developed a solution for the garbage the way they did outhouses so they just started piling it on the sidewalks and expecting someone else to deal with it
Hulagu was just the oldest (but under 2000 years) failed conqueror of Syria I could remember in the moment, nothing I say on this site holds up under scrutiny
Considering the portrayal of Ye Wenjie as the woman who dooms the world because of the trauma the cultural revolution gave her (meanwhile a woman being too soft is the reason the aliens win later), and that all life in the universe is inherently xenophobic and resource obsessed, I suspect any good politics are accidental
nobody’s been able to do in 2,000 years. You’ve taken over Syria
Hulagu Khan absolutely in pieces rn
Extra downside of artificial turf: it usually has a rubber layer underside so water doesn’t drain through it and will kill way more than grass via dehydration, while also creating spots for mosquitoes to breed in any divots where rain can pool on top.
I think having to replace an entire lawn needs to be framed as a long term goal not a single project. Just starting with no water, fertilizer, or new seed is an easy step one, then as places become patchy you replace them with new beds or alternative ground covers
Extremely on the nose fascist rhetoric even for trump, but he can’t help himself from slipping in the branding huckster nicknames
They’re gonna applaud these guys in parliament like that nazi in canada
I wonder how far we are from state mandated media viewing for adults. They’ll get the kids with PragerU slop in schools but a major part of their culture war grievance is that their media isn’t dominant enough and you can remove the live action Little Mermaid for having a black person but you can’t make people watch Lady Ballers instead
In a real theocratic state you’d take this shit as a sign to change your ways
