Phi for All

I think you get 5 on your first day. It's an anti-spam measure.

Can't agree with the GOD part. Which one? When? The part about the dogs is a bit too simplistic for such a complex relationship, imo. I don't like that you're making so many assumptions, then asking us to just accept them and move on to the next part of what you're saying. It makes the skeptic in me twitch uncontrollably. You're also bouncing around like a pinball. What is a "calibers first language", and what does it have to do with gods and dogs? Reality? You're trying to model reality? How are you defining that? All we can really know is what we observe, or can predict from those observations. Is that different from this reality you're talking about? There is way too much "Now assume" in the rest, and it sounds like some kind of numerology you've found patterns in, and none of that is reliable. I could give you the longitude, latitude, and altitude of the cafe on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. I can add a temporal dimension and suggest a time to meet for lunch.

Can you focus on one part of this for discussion? I have no idea what you want to talk about. It's best for discussion purposes if we take one aspect of what you're talking about and you persuade us that what you're saying has merit. You need to explain this without using the videos, since most people aren't going to take the time to watch when we can read SO MUCH FASTER. You can turn a WAG into something interesting if you can dig up some evidence to support your ideas.

OMG, try checking out who really grooms children and abuses them. It's not the drag queens or trans folks, it's white Christian males almost every time you look. Youth pastors, ministers, policemen, white men working hard to abuse positions of authority while they pretend to be "on your side".

Aren't we still using those same dyes and colorants? I found a current list from the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-and-gras-ingredients-information-consumers/types-food-ingredients

I think many Americans have known that something major is wrong for quite a while, but we've all been so indoctrinated NOT to blame the wealthy that it's pretty easy to distract us with various "enemies from within". Some saw the insurrection as just a repudiation of the status quo, and failed to sense the significant threat to the democracy (or they may blame democracy for not giving them more than a single vote). I've had to explain to MAGAts that the insurrectionists didn't just protest the vote count in accordance with their constitutional rights, they did something the Constitution absolutely forbids them from doing, and NONE of them already knew that. What's shocking is the pace the Republicans are setting for destroying the American culture and economy. I don't understand how the big corporations figure they'll prosper when nobody has any money left to buy their products, either from price gouging or losing their livelihood or having their pensions and Social Security robbed. These corporations don't make much off the 1%, it's the rest of us that keep them profitable, so where is this leading? Does anybody in corporate land think it's a good idea to remove spending power from your customer base? Or are they all sitting on so much cash that they feel they don't need us to consume any more?

My exact thought when I saw which insects are OK to eat and which are unclean. Whole lot of conflicting scriptures there! No winged insects at all, except you can eat locusts and katydids, because they hop as well as fly. I would think flying insects, not spending as much time in the dirt, would be cleaner than crawling insects. Go figure.

Copy image, paste image. Does this work?

Does it? Where else in the book does it make these kinds of biological distinctions? Also, Genesis 6:21 mentions that Noah's god told him to gather food for his family and the animals, which presumably included fruits and vegetables, which means seeds. And after the "flood", Noah becomes a farmer with a vineyard. I'm with swansont, I'm not a biblical apologist and I certainly don't think any of it is true, but I think there are PLENTY of other questionable bits regarding "the flood" to focus on.

No, you were poking fun at the cost of a trillion dollars, which you either made up or didn't bother to check after you heard it. Let's be clear about your intentions. I don't think you understand any of this. Your arguments are childlike, as if your experiences haven't taught you how to reason correctly. Like many conservatives, you have a caricature in your mind about most of the things you don't understand. It's what's held up progress for as long as humans have been around. Progressive thinking got us to the moon, while the conservatives argued it was a big waste, just like every other major innovation humans have accomplished. When it comes to progress, there's never a conservative contributing to the future. If you truly wanted to eliminate the need for DEI, your methodology is unacceptable. Your prejudices are too prevalent.

Because you also said this in the same post:

Really, you'd change your mind about invading if we already had a base there? This would be a disaster. I already cringe at what they're putting in orbit. Having military mistakes spread across our entire atmosphere could make most environments toxic.

Maybe I was distracted by all the whataboutism regarding how we can't blame Russia if we're doing the same to Greenland. Maybe it was just stating that this all is "a recipe for war" without actually condemning such a war. But it was probably the flat statement that "We get Greenland" that made me think Trurl supports TFG, that and all his past posts defending the behavior.

Please name one "good" thing he's trying to do. Something he's really trying to do, not just giving lip service to. Trying to reduce corruption in government spending isn't his real goal. He's looking top down when the real corruption is right at the top. He says he's trying to reduce crime when it's at an all time low, just like his last administration. He's trying to drain the swamp when he's the biggest alligator there.

How do you feel about your president invading a sovereign nation, not because they pose a threat, but because he claims we "need it"? This is even controversial amongst his base, since Greenland has never been an aggressor against the US. "We get Greenland"?! Personally, I think anyone who approves of this is a horrible person, the kind of intolerant citizen we absolutely can't tolerate if we're to progress at all in removing war as a solution for humankind. You and those who think like you are setting up the US to be a pariah to the rest of the world. If it happens as you predict, we'll lose every ally we have as they all prepare to defend themselves and their democracies from the authoritarians in Russia, North Korea, China, and the USA. Are you a FB fan? I'm curious because I think Zuckerberg allowed so many Russian bots to influence Americans into thinking Russia is more dangerous and powerful than they really are. Without FB, Russia is just some nukes that they can't use without destroying themselves as well. Texas has a bigger GDP by a large margin. You talk about Russia like you've listened to all the Russian bot propaganda.

I find your definitions ridiculous. By this token, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter were two sides of the same coin. Your distinctions are worthless in a political discussion.

Definitely deny the first. Biden and TFG are not remotely similar, much less two sides of one coin. That much is obvious. The middle class isn't "disappearing". It's shrinking due to pressures on small businesses from large corporations using lobbyists to unfairly frame the market. Also, I think "liberal" is an outdated and inaccurate label. At least in the US, progressive is the better description of those who oppose the conservatives. Both major parties have claimed many stances but conservatives, whether Democrat or Republican, have never accomplished anything significant in this country. Becoming an independent colony, abolishing slavery, the interstate highway system, Social Security, the Moon landings, the National Parks system, the Postal Service, even the mix of ethnicities that made us the great "melting pot", all of these things are due to progressive views and behavior. Conservatives are stuck in the mud wishing things won't change, which is why the corporations love them.

Your paper only works if the reader is already a believer. You make assumptions most people aren't willing to make. I, for one, think your Jesus is a horrible person, willing to destroy a fig tree just because it couldn't feed him. You need to argue for a god's existence in the first place, and even then your assertions are mostly ridiculous. I don't think you're "lying", but I think you've been deceived like so many. Look what it made you do! Your document is full of atrocious science, completely misunderstood, and you made up the weirdest things to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. You need to fight ignorance with knowledge, not make up more ignorance.

If it preaches that you should believe that an unobservable "creator" is the most powerful thing in the universe, I think it's bad. Really bad. It sets your brain up for manipulation, coercion, and guilt, and it makes people choose doctrine over people.

The OP's sockpuppet account claimed that if you have to ask, you're a "mental infant". Tells me all I need to know about the thread.

This is ostrich behavior.
