There’s a more horrifying story that no one talks about that parallels Sodom and Gomorrah - the story of Levite’s concubine.

The parallelism there suggests that the issue is more with hospitality than homosexuality in particular. In this story, it is heterosexual rape that leads to the destruction of a city. Also kinda suggests that the people would have fucked the angels to death, like the poor concubine.

The way the alt right has been working for the past ten years has been saying something absolutely outrageous, and then claiming it’s a joke/satire afterwords. It’s a way of introducing those ideas into the mainstream while maintaining plausible deniability. They started by “joking” that we should repeal the 19th amendment, but the goal is to shift the Overton window. Any “satire” is a fig leaf.

The dude does not believe in relationships with women. He believes in fucking women (with or without their consent) and pimping them out. Having a girlfriend is acknowledging a woman as human, which is “gay,” because real men only view women as chattel. That’s what he’s saying. I’m sorry you don’t have the critical thinking skills to understand that.

It isn’t satire. This is really who Andrew Tate is. If you haven’t heard of him, this Shaun video is good.

No, he just is that fucked up of a person.

Andrew Tate coerced multiple women into camming for him in a set up where he’d keep all of the money. He’s also a rapist.

The idea of respecting a woman as a human being whose consent matters is about as alien to him as the idea that a blender or oven’s consent matters. He’s a rapist and human trafficker, but because we live in hell world, rapists and human traffickers are considered the pinnacle of human achievement by a rather significantly sized crowd.

When I had them, they were very sudden. I didn’t have auras or anything.

It was very odd. The first one I had I didn’t realize was a seizure - I was out working on a farm and woke up very confused and missing my glasses. It wasn’t until I had one in front of my ex husband, and woke up fighting firefighters, that I figured out what was going on.

So yeah, wouldn’t have warnings if I was driving. I’d honestly be happy to never drive again if I didn’t live in a place where that was impossible - I haven’t had one in years and think I figured out why I was having them, but it is scary knowing that there is some trigger that could hit me out of nowhere.

You are incorrect when it comes to the United Stares. There is a varying period of time you have to go without seizures, but you are not permanently barred from driving.

When I had seizures several years ago, I was told to wait for six months by the doctor. They didn’t report anything to any regulatory authority, it really just worked on the honor system. My seizures were controlled, and I drive regularly now.

It’s state by state. Some states don’t make physicians report, so there’s not necessarily enforcement. I waited the six months my state requires after my seizures, but there wasn’t really any mechanism by which a cop would have known if I hadn’t.

I really need things to be habeñero level at least. Sometimes I’ve gotten a grinder of dried ghost chiles to get things up to snuff.

Nope, “Jehovah” is a latinization. “Yahweh”/“YHWH” is a more accurate rendering.

My neighbors growing up had a sign: “what would you do if you could not fail?” …

They kinda be in charge of a lot of things lately. Hard to avoid talking about them.

“I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.”

Miss Granger is at best overzealous, and her goals are, at worst, unattainable. Hermione may have meant well, but at the same time did end up dragging a peaceful group into a political battlefield just because she felt that’s what they should want. Was she helping, or interfering in a culture she didn’t understand?

I’m certified in special education and spent two hours of my day today teaching an adult how to do subtraction. I’ve worked with kids with Down syndrome. I entirely believe that it would be possible for 95% of students, if given the appropriate support, to learn how to take a simple derivative and have some vague understanding of what they did. It just takes visuals, good use of real world examples and metaphor, and patience.

Give him a nice shiny statue, then take it away and give it to Obama after further consideration, because Obama has admitted to fantasizing about men.

Guarantee it would lead to him raving about how much better he is at having sex with men.

It’s not uncommon to have a sneeze reflex when aroused.

I guess what always melted my brain was putting everything in terms of the dr dtheta etc of the surface.

Peter Thiel recently put on a four talk series, sponsored by a “Christian” organization, where he suggested that anti-AI people are the Antichrist.
