uspol nytthe #NYT is literally the #CIA like not even, look into the Church Comittee ( and see what they did to that Church fellow ) NYT is an arm of the state department, and the US government generally, just as much sa the BBC is state media.
So when NYT immediately starts sounding very pro trump, don't act shocked and say "What happened" they are doing what they always done, be propaganda arm of the USG
i kill it, construction or yard work is performing masculinity, that's why these mofos never stop with their bullshit, because using a saw or lawnmower all the time is gender affirming
motherfuckers complain about programming langauges while being too lazy to learn the basics ( why doesn't it do this thing this other things does? ) that doesn't say anything about the language as such, that's you not knowing what the fuck you're doing and feeling angry and confused and being to lazy to study the language properly, and then you go and latch on to meme criticisms of language that may or may not have some validity and spread them around with limited knowledge.
anti christian speculation, lewd jesusPersonally I don't think Jesus mythicism is very plausible, having looked at the evidence, there are multiple references to christians in the first century by reliable contemporary historians like Josefus and Tacitus, it's quite probably Paul Existed, who was a later convert to christianity, who claims to have met Peter. Josefus records the martyrdom of Jesus' biological brother James the Just, who ran the first Christian church in Jerusalem. While obviously the gospels are not reliable source of history, they are artifacts of a religious movement that most likely contain some truth about the origins of the religion, at the very least the names and core doctrine of it's founders.
So let's assume for argument the Gospels are basically accurate, and these are stories passed down over oral tradition and at least the core substance of the history and content of Jesus' Ministry were passed down, dude was obviously a cult leader, the texts describes the working of a fairly standard cult.
there are many hints in the Synoptic gospels + Thomas that Jesus was fucking his disciples. Getting shit faced drunk on wine and possibly other drugs seems to have been a central part of their worship. numerous references to secret teachings and initiation rituals for only his most beloved disciplines which are not recorded in the text, references to nudity and drunkenness is numerous of his sayings "be like little children and get naked... drink from my mouth" the whole "bridgegroom" thing, there's that very erotic scene of mary magdeline washing jesus feet with her hair as all the other disciplines watched, which made Judas uncomfortable, thus proving he's a snake... maybe Judas saw that Jesus was a fraud engaging in scandalous sexual behavior.
What's so interesting is Christianity is obviously a scam to anyone hearing it for first time. Okay this god-man, they just killed him? Oh he was resurrected? So he's alive now? No, he went to heaven, even tho he was alive? So the resurrected Jesus didn't show himself to the people of Jerusalem who killed him? He didn't appear to anyone else besides except his disciples? and we just take their word for it? Do we have his body at least? Oh his body flew up to heaven did it? Isn't it more likely, if this story has any truth, that Jesus was simply mistakenly pronounced dead and later woke up in his tomb, claimed to be resurrected, and then later died of his wounds? The central proof of Christianity --> the death and resurrection --> disproves itself. This irrationality requires Faith: As won church father said "I believe because it is absurd"
All of the miracles like the Many Fishes or Water into Wine or Walk on Water, these are all parlor tricks any magician could replicate, even the Lazarez story could easily have staged, the deceptive techniques of faith healings are well known in modern times, and in the Gospels Jesus is often described working a crowd.
esoteric pantheistic quackerymaybe consciousness isn't just an emergent property of the central nervoius system, the root of conciousness is not the brain, but rather exists in all living things, and the brain is just one kind of specialized organ that animals use to process information more effectively, and all life itself, on the level of individual cells and physiological systems, on the level of genetic reproduction over aeons, there is both will and intelligence operating at a fundamental level, and our ego brain self is just a temporary surface level phenomena.
You can look to many things in nature that would seem to support this, supposedly primitive lifeforms engage in highly rational go directed activity adapting their strategies through trail and error, above and beyond what can be assumed through random mutation / natural selection. I'm not saying this is not a factor in evolution, but not necessarily the only thing that explains adaptation and speciation. For example the order of insects Hymenoptera which include wasps ants and bees, develop genetic adaptations which are fundamentally social and rational , a gendered* and phenotypical division of labour, to our knowledge they do not have an ant caste of genetic engineers who are managing this process... or maybe they do? but even then this assumes a super intelligent hive mind that contemporary brain science cannot account for.

trump's racismmy stepdad said one time "trump's in the Aryan Nations" and yes he is actually closely aligned with that strand of American White Supremacy, not dogmatically so, his and Bannon's are basically the same, white supremacy but presented in a more palatable way to the masses, this puts him at odds not only with people of color but also the conservative establishment, his "drain the swamp" or "i will be your vengeance" shit is pretty similar to "day of the rope" fantasies
@miiamustang well the Israelis have been trying to get netanyahu out and push for ceasefire for long time time now, if only for their own self-preservation, but as should already be clear, Israel is not a democracy even for Jewish Israelis, it's a military dictatorship
