It’s more “don’t defy God” in this story.

Came to say, Onan was commanded to impregnate her. The story has zero to do with masturbation.

Neither atheists nor believers get the basic mythology of their region.

I’m a lefty gun nut and secure storage is my only idea that will help and get past the courts. Won’t make a huge dent in overall gun deaths, but shit like this is inexcusable. Parents deserve prison time for these events. And I say that as a parent to two young ones who could find myself in front of a jury if I fuck up. Gun safety does not make allowances for “oops”.

Now I’m really lost. As I understand it, kids can’t have personal lockers anymore. So where does a 6-yo hide a gun? And then get to it later? From what I’ve seen with my stepson, and now my own little kids, they’re marched around like prisoners, watched every second. Can you tell me more?

Oh, look, another lemming so anxious to get his cute little burn out there. So anxious he skipped the first of two sentences in my comment. Hey! It was a pretty long-winded thing to parse!

Do I really need to post my entire comment in this reply? It’s two sentences and the first one covers your concern.

We don’t have them in NW Florida, but I dated a girl down south, and yeah, they fall out of trees when it gets cold (for Florida values of cold). She told me about this and I couldn’t stop laughing. “Seriously?! They just plop in the yard and on people’s heads?!”

a strong derogative slur for disabled people

Oh for fuck’s sake OP. I have never in life heard gimp used that way. One might be limping a bit and say, “My hurt leg’s still a little gimpy.” If one were back in time by several decades.

Where are you from? This isn’t a thing in America.

Get lots of pics! Can’t ever tell which ones will work out!

If none are working out? Take a long hard look in the mirror. What can you fix or improve? I’ve rarely met another human that couldn’t do something to be more attractive. Do that thing for yourself, not some anonymous stranger.

Other people in your pics brings up to many assumptions about who’s who, what your relationships are, all that mess.

The thing is to avoid pics that beg the question. Does that make sense?

I’m in the Deep South. Saw exactly one MAGA post.

Fishermen? I’m not defending the actions of my government, they are fucking appalling and illegal, but have you seen the boats they’ve killed? My friend, those are not likely innocent fishermen.

EDIT: None of you read first sentence. Not going to parse a two sentence post for you.

And I thought she smelled bad… on the outside.

Get in there you hairy oaf!

Dad was always taken aback by people who lust for “power”. LOL, he was mad at people who designed parking lots to herd us around!

But I get it. A leader has to have some bit of narcissism to say, “I can do this. I’m smart and capable enough to take the reigns.” Comes with the job.

Had a pretty good government teacher in high school. Scored one of the only D grades I every got in life. (Unthinkable!) But she really nailed how politics work IRL. Not even realpolitik, merely, “This is how Congressmen live and operate. Here are the benefits and powers of their position.” Nothing partisan either! Eye opening.

Raise your hands if you know the word “franking” and what it implies. :)

Other great points were that money doesn’t mean the same thing to them as it does us. (SEE: Franking.) Need a new suit? Tailors will line up to make you one for free! “We serve the best of the best!” Need a table at a high-end restaurant? “Of course we have room ma’am! On the house!”

I am hardly concerned with US Congresses’ pay. They get plenty of benefits.

Started as a cover for not swearing in our new Congresswoman from Arizona, spun out of control.

We need to stop talking TRUMP. We need to start talking REPUBLICANS did this. Want lasting change? Stop aiming for the dementia patient cult leader. He’ll die soon enough and blame will shift. Stop aiming at individual targets and shotgun this thing.

Stop talking “conservatives”. Both anti-Trump and anti-conservative messaging is a personal attack, and they’ll resist. Say, “The REPUBLICANS did this. REPUBLICANS are to blame.”

These people have no loyalty to “Republicans”. Hit them where they can fold up and agree. “I’m not the bad guy. My guy isn’t the bad guy. It’s those damned Republicans! If it weren’t for those meddling kids!”

MTG is the weirdest politician I’ve ever seen. I honestly can’t decide if she’s stupid, wily as a fox, playing games and, uh, winning or losing? Considering how she got into office in the first place, I know she has zero morals, but other than that, I got nothing.

Speaker Johnson can’t swear in our new Congresswoman from Arizona as she’d be the deciding vote in releasing the Epstein files. May not even need that single vote as Republicans seem to be ready to jump shit, get ahead of the coming fiasco. “I voted to see the TRUTH!”

As another was commenting earlier, seems the whole thing spun out of their control and the “blame the Dems” ain’t workin’ out so hot.

Pretty cynical take, but I was wrong in saying our masters would never let us starve. Even a cursory view of revolutions should clue them in.

Let’s go with martial law, get it over with. The military is largely civilian, and everyone involved has family and friends. Not going to go as they expect. (What I mean is that civilians walking off the job instantly cripples maintenance, supply chains, advisors, all that.)

Yep, got out of control on him, exactly as you say.

But I disagree that Congress is clueless here. They know, they’re gambling on pushing the “Democrats are the problem!” message. FFS, they’re putting that exact message on federal websites! Said message isn’t really catching on.

Wrong again, I always said our corporate and government masters would screw us out of everything but food. Circuses all day! But circuses must come with bread. Humans will put up with about anything as long as we know where our next meal is coming from. (LOL, I have a hard time suspending disbelief when reading/watching fiction; How is our hero to EAT?!)

12.3% of the population on SNAP is a significant number. Considering you have to be 130% under the poverty line to apply, Haysus, that’s a lot of mad, desperate people.
