Goddammit I love Lemmy.
Goddammit I love Lemmy.
I will agree with what was likely the point of this post, which is that the Constitution is not and was never supposed to be timeless, and the founders would agree with that too.
Yeah, the dude I called lived in a much more progressive sect. He was actually the "cab driver" for his community, which is why he had a cellphone. He also had a computer and a very rudimentary website for the stuff he was selling in the classifieds.
If by "done more" you mean "gotten civilians killed" and by "aid" you mean "militant religious zealotry", then you're absolutely correct. Otherwise, eat a dick you terrorist bootlicker goon.
I once called a guy about something he was advertising in the classifieds. I called him on Easter Sunday. He answered, but said he needed a second before he could talk.
Turns out he was Amish. I called an Amish man on the phone… on Easter Sunday. He answered… while he was in church.
I called an Amish man on his cellphone, which he answered in the middle of Easter mass, to talk about his classified ad.
This was the most tame interaction I've had with Amish folk. They're fucking hardcore.
You know that scene in Parks and Rec where Ron Swanson tips a jug of moonshine up onto his shoulder and pours it down his gullet? I've fucking seen a bearded guy with a big hat and no buttons do that IRL.
The Amish know how to party.
Ahrm… PALESTINE UKRAINE TRUMP TANKIE LIB LGBTQ BIDEN.
There, now this thread is garbage.
They are a cult. He is a criminal. You are a fool. The rest of the world can see this. Too bad you can't.
You think the maga cult is a "populist movement of anti-authorianism"? That's cute.
There was nothing "populist" about it. It was more astroturfed than the NFL. His candidacy was a joke that people like you were too ignorant to understand. His presidency was turned into the biggest grift in American history. And his "anti-authorianism" cult want a civil war and to install him as a Putin style emperor for life.
Sorry you got duped, but dude… Just admit you got duped and try to do better next time.
The ol Lemmy switcheroo.
Spiritual faith and faith in the scientific method are not the same.
Scientific knowledge is SUPPOSED to be challenged and changed as we gain new information. Religious faith is expected to be accepted without question and regardless of information.
Gotcha.
That's not the point.
Your surveyor story sounds like something a christian apologist would say, or someone who doesn't know the difference between science and religion.
Even stone age people knew the difference between East and West. If a surveyor incorrectly used a compass his work could still be verified by looking at a goddamn sunrise. If the surveyor ignored the conflicting data and, as you say "put his faith in his instruments", it ceases to be the scientific method and becomes dogmatic fanaticism.
That's such a succinct summation of his presidency.
What are you trying to say? Yes, on a platform like Reddit or Lemmy, your options to respond are literally exclusive to commenting and/or voting.
Nice dodge, btw. You don't have to respond to the crux of my response if you focus on a lesser point.
Yeah, my reddit and lemmy history strongly disagree with you too, chachi. I've literally never been called out for criticizing democrats. But then again I don't engage in weak "both sides" bullshit like you do.
And it's funny how you initially said criticizing democrats gets you called a maga bootlicker, but now you say it's just "downvotes".
That's a pretty ignorant assessment. We were apathetic, but we hardly rolled over for the boomers.
GenX did the whole "vote or die" thing. GenX was credited with getting Clinton into office. GenX would have also been the ones to get Gore into office if it wasn't for the Florida fuckery. Imagine how different things would have gone under President Gore.
Gtfo with that. There's plenty of legitimate shit talking about democrats. Just don't be a "both sides" asshole or a hexbear goon.
Jfc. Rtfa.
Pretty sure the author started out on Reddit.
