nah i’m just a hater

my immersion was ruined when Nolan couldn’t even cast someone slightly interesting for Odysseus and turned a fun and exciting tale into an overly serious greyscale film that will probably be a 4ish hour snooze fest

agree but unfortunately for a lot of students in the USA the only form of transit to their university is by car

hey that was the cuyahoga river, lake erie is clean besides the algae blooms and the farm runoff and after a storm when it turns brown :(

however, the river fire led to the founding of the epa and the fish have been safe to eat for like five years now

Fond highschool memories with this one

Cmon bro you’re better than falling for conspiracies like that. “Ahh yes, every republican was in on a secret plan to kill Charlie Kirk- and get this- when Kirk died, Netanyahu sent a Tweet containing a secret meaning explaining that Israel was behind it. It’s such and obvious and perfect plan”

Yeah those are all things USA and other western powers want to invest in but don’t want to get their hands dirty with. They could put a stop to all that or do it themselves but don’t want to

You’re giving Israel the type of credit they want bruh. They are not running a world control conspiracy 😭 They don’t have power over the USA, the USA wants a colonial presence in the Middle East and supporting Israel is the easiest way to do it. Yes Mossad gets up to fucked up stuff, but they are not about to murder famous American political figures and face the repercussions.

What does Netanyahu tweeting even mean as well. He’s not giving you a hint into some grand conspiracy that would require countless lies and people involved. That line of thinking is the same bs that the alt right falls for

I think Kirk was a major reason for an uptick in republican youth voters because he was so famous on social media. I’ve noticed young men my age, who vote democrat, like a reel featuring Charlie Kirk because he “owned a silly lib” in an amusing way. His job was touring college campuses- upon invitation from college students- to spread hate and try to convince young people that their politics and identity were wrong.

I would compare him to Andrew Tate because they spread a relatively similar sermon of hate and individualism, but Tate isn’t a political activist. He doesn’t bring people to the polls like a Charlie Kirk can. Another comparison would be Trump, but Trump can never relate to the youth because he’s still just an old man.

I agree he’ll get replaced and this won’t really slow down the machine, but the man had quite the impact on young people.

No way in fuck they purposely had Kirk assassinated.

1. His job as a propagandist / hate spreader is way too important and influential to stop
2. they could’ve martyred a similarly famous, but less influential, republican and gotten the same response
3. they’re going to go forward with their plan- they don’t need an excuse
4. this happened in a red state, why wouldn’t they pick a blue state?
5. I really don’t think Epstein files matter that much for republicans. A video could come out of Trump raping a child and it would be chalked up to ai and they wouldn’t believe it
6. the news cycle is so short- this won’t remain a hot topic for a long amount of time

It’s a convenient distraction, sure, but it’s been proven time and time again that they don’t need distractions to carry out policy. If there’s any conspiracy to be had, it would be surrounding the (relatively) unanimous rhetoric that his death was a tragedy. When kids die in Gaza everyday, a regular citizen is shot, or someone kills themselves because of financial strain we don’t debate the morals of their unjust death. However when a famous white man is killed he isn’t just a statistic but an example of how awful people can be.

Idk at least for the second term of this administration, Trump being the figurehead is an integral part. Cult of personality is necessary in a fascist/dictatorial rise to power. I honestly don’t think Vance would be able to implement the same policy. However, now with the precedent being set he could

The mere existence of African tribes “violates” a colonial, western mindset. It is the scary unknown that they seek to control and classify.

Yeah I really want to see like a queer theologians perspective on this idea though. The Bible talks a lot about man and woman and how they have to be together, but I wonder how you apply this to modern day. My gut response is that when the Bible was being written, the idea of gender and long-term non hetero relationships weren’t a thing. But I know there had to have been some people nonconforming to gender even if they weren’t explicitly thinking along those lines and some sort of non-hetero relationships that went beyond married men having boy lovers.

A mistranslation isn’t an intervention from God, they exist because humans (and the Bible) aren’t infallible. The Bible is a document made by hundreds of authors over hundreds of years leading to countless interpretations- this is why theologians exist, this is why there are different sects of Jews and Christians, etc.

The story of Adam and Eve is another example of the patriarchy as represented in the Bible. But the two of them are also described as being of “one body”- one cannot exist without the other- which implies some equality. It’s a contradictory statement and the Bible is full of them.

Many theologians would also argue that contradictions like this aren’t a mistake. God is a being beyond human comprehension, and his message can’t be written down one to one. An overarching theme of the Bible is that the only way to come close to God and find his message is through other people. You have to go out there and love your neighbor.
