Craigslist exists like my totaled car exists: yeah, it’s technically there, but it’s a shell of itself and doesn’t actually have anything worthwhile. Maybe in large metros it’s still a viable option, but even in a 250,000 people metro it’s a ghost town.

Can’t buy things if no one is selling there, can’t sell things if no one is buying there.

God, I miss Craigslist.

Kirk wasn’t an undesirable; he was much closer to a Pharisees or rich man, or maybe a Roman given his connection to empire: an oppressor who manipulated and interpreted law to his own benefit and publicly condemned the undesirables and anyone who would dare say the undesirables are beloved children of God.

If Jesus ate as his table, Jesus would say something against religious leadership or empire, which would add to the list of grievances they used to justify killing him.

I’m also guessing “pastor” doesn’t mean “seminary trained, regular background checks, psychologically evaluated, tested for competence, and examined by others to discern call in a denomination that requires pastors act like mandatory reporters” but instead means “Bubba says the Bible good and hates the right folks.”

Gonna be honest, we should be thankful these freaks aren’t carrying themselves with dignity. People will respect horrible, horrible things done politely.

…are you okay? Like, I get that you don’t like dogs and are frustrated with bad dog owners, but like, that seems a bit intense even for an Internet comment.

Or, most likely, both.

I had to shut it off. To everyone else’s credit they hammered him about it, but I cannot keep watching something that platforms…that.

Accelerationism is the ideology of privileged idiots.

FTFY

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

Vaguely ask and you shall receive: https://imgur.io/gallery/YPHY0

In the US, universities have a significant number of graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees while colleges offer (almost) exclusively undergraduate degrees. My alma mater became a university shortly before I started because they started offering enough graduate degrees.
