You’re stuck in the aesthetic phase of development.
Trying my hardest to be civil in this uncivilised world.


You’re stuck in the aesthetic phase of development.
Idk if I agree with all of that, but it’s at least an indictment of those who act that way and whatever their beliefs are (if they have any besides “blood for the blood god”). 🤷


🤣
Now I’m curious about what he means by/is the meaning of “charge numbers”, I have no clue, lol. You’re a good wife. 😁


I’m always up for some “drama” as long as that means “yapping about things that aren’t as serious as someone I care about dying/suffering something grievous”. 🤷


Politics are an extension of ethics so you kinda have every reason not to associate with someone whose moral compass is all fucked up (and so are their political takes).
Pretty much everyone besides maniacal psychos wouldn’t be cool with it, Jesus would flip the fuck out.


It’s okay (if a bit silly, IMO, the nation is too big for me to have any real, deep attachment to it) if their patriotism doesn’t involve hating and murdering people around the world, lol. Usually, it doesn’t, but for a subset of countries it does.


My kink is being patiently and attentively listened to by my wife while I go hard on my 8th old man rant of the week… 🤷😅
How come? If that position had to be taken by anyone, who would you place there besides the usual suspects I just mentioned? It still doesn’t make Saddam someone who might see Heaven, at least IMO…
Yeah, I heard. 😔
Morals and the teachings of Jesus, and Trinitarian faiths, have been disassociated pretty much since forever (Jesus was not a Roman Catholic, after all), but this is some next level shit. Or, perhaps, not really… I bet Richard the Lionheart told his crusaders the same shit.
You’re right (“fly in the ointment” and all of that). But we have to deal with it because, every time, sooner or later the technological cat gets out of the bag, right?
Yeah, Russia, the country that invaded, couped and otherwise subjugated the majority of the world, the country with almost countless military bases around the world, the country of Native genocide, chattle slavery, gunboat diplomacy, three letter agency destabilisation, etc etc. You’re dipped head to toe in propaganda, my friend, you just don’t know it but today you can begin to learn. So no, there’s no comparison, the closest American historical peers are the British and French empires, and then Rome, I guess.


Not really, they just mentioned not having a “gender” assigned at birth, allowing you to remain legally sexually indeterminate until you pick a side, regardless of your bits and bobs. Or at least that’s how I read it.


GETTING STRONG NOW!
WON’T BE LONG NOW!


Nothing lasts forever. Sure, you could see this as a continuation of Western imperialism (it is), which could be seen as a continuation of Roman imperialism (more debatable), but the Mongols were at it at some point too, and the Egyptians and the Akkadians (and those more knowledgeable than me can surely provide more examples) so idk, at least the villains and the geographical regions affected change over time, lol. Will we reach some “end of history” moment, where we’re all sufficiently moral and humane not to engage in forced labour, murder and pillage for the sake of comfort and profits? Maybe, maybe we’ll destroy ourselves, directly or indirectly (is our planet okay or at least okay-ish?!), before that happens. 🤷
I’m sorry, I meant to be more positive with my reply but this is what came out. 🥲
Just tell them Jesus wants them to kill brown people (who are closer to him in ethnicity and, much more importantly, belief than the average American Trinitarian, lol) and they won’t question shit. Real men kill random people on the other side of the world!
It’s that silly all-or-nothing thinking. Just because America, Israel and Western vassals are objectively THE main world villains of the past few decades (and Western Europe before that, but that’s a different convo) doesn’t mean that everyone they attacked were saints, lol.


When it comes to being a more prosocial, peaceful, emotionally stable person, I’ve made much progress (thank God!). I just don’t like feeling like a villain, knowing (because, for better or for worse, I see these things somewhat clearly) I was the cunt in the situation and that I could and should have “taken the higher road”. I was talking about it with my wife earlier today and I think it’s partly a function of my pride: being an overall negative influence in the world is simply for lesser men, and I am not/won’t let myself be one of those.
For everything else, I’m a complete mess. Yeah, I have worked well and steadily, never been fired or even reprimanded, and have gotten decent results in academia despite the fact I worked full time whilst studying… but besides that idk, I don’t keep much track of things I could improve (but I should). Thankfully, I’m married, so I’m constantly lovingly coerced into betterment, lol.


“Cry more 🤣🤣🤣”.
My man, you might have just hurt my feelings for no good reason, why are you so happy about it?! I’ve only seen it in YT comments, TBF, so they might all just be bots. Hopefully.
Gambling is haram for a reason. 🤷
(And yeah, I know much of it happens in or goes through some Gulf institutions, don’t worry I hate those hypocrites also).
