Yeah, I already started weaning myself off my depression meds. Went cold turkey once, and that was a nightmare. They’re planning to kill the VA, so fuck our service. I’m never getting cut off again. I’ll switch to natural alternatives, thank you.

Yeah, because corporate charity is super regulated and never ever misused.

Look, the Democrats have to own this loss, for once, like they should have last time. It is clearly insufficient to try and frighten democratic supporters with a probability of fascism which we’ve never experienced before. It is clearly insufficient to abandon the working class as they have for so long. We should never fund or promote far right candidates in primaries. The media should not provide free coverage for outrage candidates to drive viewershop. It is clearly a mistake to try and court conservative voters, because hardly any have ever crossed over. It was certainly a mistake for Biden to run again, and then to drop out so late, far too late to have a primary.

Maybe the fact she is a minority woman turned people off. I don’t know. It’s a stupid reason not to run women, but that possibility exists.

But it damn sure isn’t the only reason we lost.

You can “own” a woman, and you can own a knife. But you cannot own a knife and a woman.

Yeah, Jesus would send you lot straight to hell.

Learned? Oh no. We haven’t done that yet I’m afraid.

Hypocrisy =/= irony

There’s organizing. There’s supporting and defending each other.

Wait til he sees the road design.

… in Minecraft!

Honestly, I think a lot of this will cool off in a big way when he croaks, even him in prison would help. Just him losing will be a great thing. And I don’t believe for a second that MAGA will ever find anybody else who can pull their strings so well. They don’t have the skill, the popularity, or the back-assward charisma. Plus they’re all a bunch of sociopaths in it for themselves. Their cooperation is a matter only of convenience. They’re constantly backstabbing and they cannot change.

No one has made fun of me yet for using PopOS.

If he wins, China and Russia will take whatever opportunities they can. Taiwan will defend itself, likely better than anyone expects. Russia may try nuking Ukraine or Europe. Ukraine will likely build nukes. Israel may nuke Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, etc. North Korea might light off a few just to try and look cool next to the big kids. Who knows about India and Pakistan. And we’ve got like a third of the USA clamoring for Civil War 2.

Well, it’s a critical text in the history of Wicca, since it began the practice of burning accused witches. It also contains a great deal of the prevailing myths of the time regarding them. Its title translates to The Hammer of Witches. Finally, besides historians, they’re some of the few people keeping the text alive in the eye of pop culture, since the church no longer wants to be openly associated with it.

If he wins, expect one. That powder keg is already primed.

Because it was the official church doctrine they used to begin persecution of anyone charged with witchcraft in the European middle ages. It didn’t simply justify all the tortures the church is famous for; it set that ball rolling as the legal document behind it all, written by a bunch of deranged zealots. It was used to genocide the native European religions and cement the power of the church. The perfection of the art of torture, all the burnings and rigged trials, all those horrors began with that book. Anytime you hear people freaking out about witches even today, anywhere, Malleus Maleficarum is the root of it all. Throughout the centuries, it shaped the brutality of European colonialism around the globe as one of the most influential books most people never heard of. Due to the extent of colonialism, it destroyed more lives and culture, and caused more agony and torment than probably any other book ever written.

It’s obscure, archaic, dogmatic, bloodthirsty, batshit legalese translated into Old English from Latin. These days it’s mostly of interest to particularly focused scholars, Wiccans, and edgy teens dipping their toes in. I wouldn’t expect it to be a good read.

For maximum WTAF, throw in Demonology by King James. Yes, that King James.

Probably the most evil book ever written.

This is how all world wars began. Major powers don’t start them with each other. That’s too dangerous. Instead they always let themselves get dragged into it by their proxy nations.

I’m including the Peloponnesian War, which tore apart the Greek empire quite similarly to WW1 & 2. It didn’t start with Athens and Sparta directly.

Just gotta concentrate a bunch of gays in one place, and the hurricanes follow. It’s science!

Those who live in apartments, and only they, should collectively and equitably own the building entirely.
