Read this as "sex at work" and the second point was very confusing

Bro's really doing the "nooo don't kill yourself your so sexy aha" meme

Bait or brain damage. Call it

Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious and modern while the most popular thing Seinfeld has put out since Seinfeld was the Bee Movie. I think that shows where the talent is. Even when Jerry was in Curb, he was awkward as he's not a great on-your-feet type comedian. All the other members of the Seinfeld cast fit in far better than him.

Copying this from a previous comment as it's basically the same ignorance so I don't care enough about changing the context.

Just ignore the fact Christians are doing the same thing. It's not an Islamic issue. It's a conservative issue. Muslims in America are predominantly left leaning and their views reflect it. I'm more worried about Christians in America trying to kill me than Muslims. They are more accepting of me here than Christians. My local mosque has a big trans rights flag in protest of our local politicians, and guess who were the ones to get upset about that. I'll give you a hint. It wasn't the people who were worshiping under the trans rights flag.

As a subject of hate born from essentialization, it's bad. Don't do it. Regardless of who you're essentializing. Systemic oppression can only happen with underlying dehumanization that comes from this thinking. Before you say "what about Nazis?", still no. It removes responsibility from them. That was the immediate and obvious excuse the people under Nazi Germany used to absolve themselves when the war ended. It was what was used to excuse the people brought to Western nations under programs like paper clip. They are people. They are just like you. You are capable of becoming just like them. Unless you're willing to accept that, you're much more susceptible to becoming like them.

I have. Did aid work in the region. More than once actually. I'm gay as fuck. People welcomed me as much as the rest of the group. They were some of the kindest people I've met. People aren't a monolith. I'm sure there were shitty people there too, just like there are shitty people in the west. People hate me and essentialize me everywhere. How does it make sense for me to do the same?

I could have very well have had a negative experience too btw. But if I did, I still wouldn't condemn and entire people to die because of it. I'm not a coward.

Funny how most who argue in favor of Israel use assumptions and knee-jerk reactions while most who don't cite statistics and most uncharitably, regurgitate real historical events. Publicly aired discussions on the matter are sleep parody. On one side you have the world's top holocaust scholars and journalists who have covered the region for years, if not decades and on the other you have talking heads and maybe a twitch streamer or internet personality. Then they make the implication that both sides are equally qualified to speak on the matter. I'm convinced the likes of Pierce Morgan are actually pro-Palestine figures with how bad they make their side look. If I didn't know better, I'd have to think there isn't many credible arguments you can make in defense of Israel or something

As someone who has had both cats and dogs basically my whole life, Idk what this cope is about cats not being stinky. Everyone who has a cat has a place that smells like cat. Same with dogs. Unless you're a compulsive cleaner and purposely cover up all smells preemptively with chemicals, you're place will smell a bit like your pet. We're all stinky babies at the end of the day.

Now let's see Paul Allen's sentence

I'm on the gay side of the community (and have only seen Ghibli and Cowboy Beebop which takes away a ton of credentials). Still rough, but a tad better. Downloaded a premade setup from github because it's cute and left it with that. Outside of adding some keyboard shortcuts

It was just a presentation for peers in grad school. For a fun project unrelated to my thesis. Would never have used my personal for a work related presentation. Just a funny story nonetheless. Getting mad shit from buddies beats being fired or passed for promotion anyday lmao

Whatever makes you feel good my man

I love hyprland, but plugging my laptop into a projector for a presentation and forgetting to mirror displays was a fun time. Hard to explain the default anime girl away without people knowing what you're talking about. Since then I've learned you can disable that background lmao

That's a pretty solid name actually. Props where it's due. But I'm still right about you. The mods are just as insecure about that too apparently

Duly noted mr gofckyourself

The amount of mental gymnastics you have to go through here is insane. I feel sorry for your two overworked brain cells being forced to type all these comments lmao

It's a rabbit hole. The book of Enoch is pretty wild too. It was so popular that the New Testament was written assuming you had read it, but again, it was rejected from the biblical cannon. There's a bunch of references in the Bible that make much more sense if you know the Enoch. Some cool lore in there too. All of the apocrypha is cooler than anything in the official Bible cannon tbh. All ruled out because they wanted to make mass as boring as possible I assume.

But yeah, check out Gnosticism. It's an early sect of Christianity that believes all of the apocrypha. Much more based than our Christians I think. It kind of goes in an eastern religion direction while maintaining western mythology. Interesting stuff. It's considered the ultimate heresy which is reason enough to learn about it haha

This is a pretty quick intro to the topic. Sub 10 min to get the gist.

The Gospel of Judas was rejected for the Biblical Cannon, but it would make Christianity make so much more sense. Basically says (along with other stuff) that the old testament god is a lower god that kind of gets off on making us suffer. Hence the impossible challenges used to damn us and the floods and stuff. All done to amuse them. Jesus is the son of the true god. The big boi who actually embodies love, but it so massive that they can't directly interact with us as they have a lot more big picture shit to do. Jesus was just one of MANY entities sent around to all corners of the universe to spread the message of seeing past the tricks of the lesser gods and the hate and guilt that come from them and find the light of the real, all loving entity. Explains why old testament and new testament god is so different and Jesus seems to give a ton of contradictory messaging to earlier lessons.

Not religious btw. Just find the topic very fascinating.
