So you're a rapper but this song isn't a rap? You're not pushing guns but you're super into people having guns with your fetishism of the 2nd Amendment? You're obsessed with pronouns but don't seem to know how to use them,

And goodness do you two make a big deal about"not caring about" being offensive. It certainly doesn't seem to be the other way, like getting your panties in a twist about pronouns, flags, and calling a type of skullcap a cap, among other things.

For trying to sound all tough, you guys really sound like the whiny "woke snowflakes" you're criticizing. Though, will say Ben telling people not to be a WAP considering his previous embarrassing experience with the song is pretty funny.

A.F. Branco #conspiracy #wingnut

1. The last I remember reading, the main reason they didn't get charged with collusion, despite Russia's obvious interface, was that the people were often deemed too incompetent to be actively working with Russia. Just easily manipulated.

2. What's the hoax in the Ukraine phone calls? We have the transcripts. Usually I see them saying that the obvious extortion attempt wasn't, not that it's somehow a hoax.

3. What classified document hoax? Trump himself admits to having the documents and refusing to turn them over. His main argument is a made up declassification process makes him immune to being held accountable for this particular crime.

4. The indictments aren't phony. Can say that he is innocent or there isn't evidence of wrong doings, but the charges are based on evidence and deciding the facts show Trump is guilty of lots of things, things he often brags about.

5. The only political opposition being arrested are the traitorous cretins who engaged in insurrection and/or assaulting the Capitol. If they were just arresting people nilly willy, they have much more tempting targets.

6. If they were really Kangaroo courts, they'd likely be finished by now and have a more expansive list if targets.

7. The ever elusive "RINO's." Honestly I'd claim that the Trump cultists, Reganites, Fundies, and Dominionists are the real RINO's, claiming the name but having so little to do with the historical party it's insulting. Instead of just people who don't agree with the above groups.

8. Breaking the TOS of platforms, inciting rebellion, and generally being called out for being a fucking horrible mess of a person doesn't mean your speech is being censored.

Candace Owens #fundie

1. Dorothy didn't commit manslaughter. Being in a house, car, bus, train, when a natural disaster (tornado, hurricane, tsunami, landslide) flings what you're in onto someone is purely an accident. How can you get that wrong?

2. The Munchkins cheering that the Wicked witch is dead isn't a Satanic ritual. It is literally her title. There are wicked and good witches in Oz, apparently one each for every cardinal direction, but can't remember if it's in the movie. The Munckins are literally cheering that the oppressive monster ruling them is dead. I imagine if Biden dropped dead I'm sure you'd be happy and celebrate it.

3. "...if that's what we're calling her..." "..Munchkins, Oompa Loompas, whatever..." Fuck woman. I know you're an attention seeking twit but it really makes you look bad when your joke revolves around not knowing the names of what you're talking about.

4. Yes, the party ends (temporarily) when another tyrannical monster arrives. A super powered evil witch should put a damper on festivities, at least for a moment. Remember, this is the close and stronger ally of the person who has been oppressing your people. I'd assume they had a round two party after they left though.

5. The only reason to dance at a funeral is Satanic rituals? Not say, a cultural thing to celebrate the life of the deceased? Not every culture has funerals being somber affairs, hell, around China and Taiwan they even hire strippers to dance and attract mourners. Granted most of the more celebratory funeral traditions aren't the traditions of Fundie Christians, so this bitch might just call em Satanic anyway.

Fschmidt #god-complex #psycho

Now, I will say it's my personal opinion children shouldn't have just complete and free access (to avoid creeps, scams, and other sketchy stuff) and too much screen time (both computer and TV) does have a negative impact on their attention span and mental development.

That being said, I am all for children having internet access. It allows easy research of topics, is incredibly helpful for school and keeping in touch with friends, and there is just so much stuff people can learn online.

To just emphatically say that your support for children being able to look up Wikipedia to help a research project means you should be gunned down by some shlubby fuckwit is just insane. Of course it's Fschmidt, and he's always been a death hungry crazy person.

N.Morgan #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

@KeithInc mostly for zoning, municipal, and safety reasons. From what I recall about this particular one (and correct any mistakes), it's a recentish addition they had. It's less a tunnel system and more like them trying to make an expansive basement.

But the illegal part comes in from it being dug by randos who don't know engineering so by digging underground they might exceed their property lines, mess with pipes/wiring, or even just weaken the foundation of surrounding buildings. And then the builders need to have proper structural integrity for the tunnel (or basement or whatever). It's usually much less "You can't have a secret tunnel on your property" and more a "Oh my God, you idiots digging a secret tunnel all on your own would cause problems. Let's get it sorted first."

Laura Sanger Ph.D. #wingnut #fundie #conspiracy

So, since we can say Noah and his flood didn't happen, can we just disregard this?

But that aside, why would a centralized monetary system to mitigate financial crises need some millenia spanning plot?

So in this scheme you have Mr. Nephilim sitting in his overly large but doubtlessly comfortable chair, staring out the skyline going "Ah yes, we have the Federal Reserve! Our nefarious plot of limiting and mitigating financial crashes is well underway! Soon this will... do something. I mean other countries have their own centralized banking systems. We're really no different from the Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China, or Deutsche Bundesbank, but those didn't require thousands of years of secrecy and manipulation, apparently."

Ben Garrison #wingnut

So you're stating that Biden, a career politician who while might not be the best person out there at least seems to mean well, is a closer comparison to Hitler.

Not the xenophobic demagogue who promises to purge the undesirables, political opponents, openly adores dictators, and is a corrupt power hungry twit.

No, THAT guy who paraphrases Hitler speeches is obviously not the closer to Hitler...

roman_mir #elitist #wingnut

While it is true that you often need capital to drive things (Can't open a shop without purchasing the things to put in the shop, run an auto repair place without the tools, etc) the people being complained about have diminishing returns for their hoarding wealth like lame flabby dragons.

When the companies price gouge they are actively hurting society as a whole, and while sure, some of the money may circulate in the economy, they are increasingly just keeping it. Buying a luxury yacht will help some people, sure, but not all that many people. And going through shell companies and trying hard to avoid paying taxes to line your pockets actively hurts society.

And then we have to look at "why" there are all the homeless. Is it because greedy assholes pushed drugs they knew were addictive and lied to doctors and happily ruined countless lives to cement their billionaire status? Were they deceived by wealthy firms into going for a bad housing deal and lost everything? Was their store put out of business by a shady corporation that exploits people?

Being wealthy isn't bad, by itself. What you do to attain it often makes billionaires terrible people.

Tina Garrison #wingnut

1. I wouldn't exactly mind someone else taking the reins, so long as they were competent. Also, I doubt it would, but it would be nice to hear some other complaints about Hunter Biden and/or his laptop.

2. I imagine they'd try, sure. They don't seem to care about any sort of proof of wrong doings, so I can see them going for it.

3. I'm not sure how much shriller than the various MAGA types you could actually get.

4. I'd sorta agree with the first half if only because, after a quick search, this is big relationship number 13. I'd not like, place it firmly within the year, but I'd guess the woman who constantly laments and sings about her relationship issues might have issues with lasting relationships. As far as the 49ers fans, hasn't Swift only helped the teams attention and viewership?

5. Musk himself? Very little chance. Even if he did, who would care what one guy decided to call it? No one would call it anything but Mars (or whatever they call it in theor language if different.)

Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren #fundie

On one hand, why should any group's religious objections influence much of anything?

On the other hand, why are we just dumping stuff on the moon? Unless they have some sort of auto drilling mechanism or something, what would they possibly be doing? Just leaving the urns out on the ground?

This looks like one of those "both sides seek kinda stupid" situations.

vpn #elitist

Homelessness is an issue. I've first hand experience that some homeless, if given a home, will just have a place to turn into a sty. They will continue to abuse emergency services, and continue to be addicts. The most them having a house would do is possibly let them stay alive for just a bit longer while doing nothing helpful for society.

That though, is mostly because the US has a very half assed sort of approach to homelessness and a large group who actively hinder efforts to help them.

A wide reaching and well supported system to help deal with addicts and those with mental health issues in an actual helpful manner rather than just shuffling between shelters and emergency rooms is something that would benefit the country immensely. But nevermind it being less than feasible currently, there would be so many actively opposing it.

So, sure. This person has a point that just throwing money at the issue won't help. But they really get the "why" wrong on the root of the issue, and just come off as an ignorant and uncaring bastard.

Emma 🌼🏳️‍🌈 #dunning-kruger #moonbat

And here I don't care enough about who a celebrity is seeing that any comments about who is dating who is pretty much always a surprise.

Now, I know what a "beard" is, but is there anything that would imply (or that she's "said" like drama queen states) to state the person who's only ever been romantically involved with men has been faking for decades?

And either way, even if she was some flavor of not straight, the post is referencing her taking offense to a 5,000 word piece speculating on her sexuality and uf she was secretly in the closet. She has every right to be annoyed with people doing that. Especially, since as far as I'm aware, Swift has no issues with the LGBT community.

Liz Wheeler #conspiracy #wingnut

1. Sources, please.
2. Don't most of your ilk say that Jan 6 was just a peaceful tour of the Capitol? You would be happy to state they're wrong and it was a violent riot?
3. It really doesn't matter even if Feds acted as agitators, if someone throws a brick through a window, you're still liable for rushing in, breaking other stuff and killing people if you did so. Especially when you were there already chanting to kill the occupants of the house.

David Wilcock #wingnut #racist #fundie #conspiracy

Now, this begs the question, if these evil families and organizations effectively own the planet, both sides in every conflict, and the US somehow lost the Revolutionary War nearly a hundred years after it was fought, how would there be a sovereign citizen anyway?

Because if we've been owned by these groups long before the nation was founded, why would the US be randomly free of their influence? How could an act that made the District of Columbia so that the nation's capital could stop being an embarrassment of a city help their nefarious plans? How could a decorative "honorable enrichment" that predates the 1871 Act by nearly 40 years be a result of the act or infer anything special?

I can guess the OP would have to think so, because they obviously can't read or understand things. Take the common law rant. To start, it doesn't matter if you think God gives people laws, those really don't qualify as common law. Even the Biblical laws (the various Mosiac laws) aren't common law, they are statutory law and regulations. The US doesn't follow any sort of maritime law exclusively, it has the Constitution, codified law of various types, and even still used common law. An unwritten unverifiable "Natural Law" isn't how you run a country, nevermind a town. And finally, it's legalese. The language of law. Just like you have Taiwanese, Japanese, Maltese, etc. Or what, do you think Chinese food is chin ease food? Absolutely nothing claimed makes any sense in any way, and only works if you completely disregard and inklings of rational thought.

But you can? You literally can have a gofundme, or pledge drive, or bake sale, or whatever you want to for fundraising for those goals.

Flipside (while it is very telling about your mindset) I do hope you realize something like gender affirming care is a bit different than a new set of clothes or makeup.

As a side note, if they are trying to be more complete as a woman, wouldn't a trans person be well aware of the costs of "performing femininity" since that's literally what they would be setting themselves up for? Never mind even straight cis men can know the costs since they are around women and/or purchase things for them?

Eric Hovind #conspiracy #fundie

@Chloe Dragonfly shaped? Doubtlessly. But based on other sort of biological based mechanical sort of things (from actual powered flight devices to even prosthetics) I will grant the idea that designing something meant to mimic the flight motions of a dragonfly is difficult.

Doesn't mean it's super special though, usually its just an issue of all the fine biological bits being super hard to make out of gears/sockets/etc and to be powered.

Well, thankfully the video was short.

That said, it is (apparently) some sort of engineer stating that because humans can't, at this moment, make a good flying machine that mimics dragonfly flight, it obviously is a super complex designed creation.

Because that is always a great argument.

Kamuroshiryu #dunning-kruger #conspiracy #crackpot

@feralwanderer Yeah, comic book aging is weird. For example, Reed Richard's is a WWII vet, which made sorta sense back in 1961, but seems weird in comparison to people like Captain America.

As for Magento himself, it's likely less we'll known nowadays but he had a younger clone body of himself (so did Professor X, thinking about it) so while he is a Holocaust survivor, the body he has currently (at least last I checked. Comic continuity is often a mess) is not the same body that was in the Holocaust. So him being active isn't as big a stretch, in universe.

But seeing as it is such an integral part of his character, I'd certainly say sorta aging out and soft retiring a lot of the older characters would make a lot of sense. I agree having successors take over would help. Picking someone from a more recent atrocity would make sense for Magneto, even including the purely in Marvel Universe events. Nice passing the torch sorta stuff.

Certainly better than the constant state of Flux the universe is always in but nothing really not changing in a meaningful way because they can't really do anything to the characters.

Allie Beth Stuckey #transphobia #wingnut

... because food prepared with different ingredients is somehow comparable to human gender and sexual discussion?

Especially foods that say in big bold letters on the box stuff like "cauliflower pasta" or "cauliflower crust" or "cauliflower breading." Just like how not-meat looking meats are labeled as such.

Kamuroshiryu #dunning-kruger #conspiracy #crackpot

Yes, the team that was made, in part, to showcase "Discrimination = Bad" shouldn't be used for a personal political mouthpiece. The ones who have complicated backstories that quite often have tragic elements because of them being found out as and persecuted for being a mutant. Idiot.

That being said, the only thing I am a little inclined to agree with them on is changing the characters. There is a huge enough cast of characters where just altering people for pandering isn't necessary. Because when they do it like that, it never looks like it's really about representation instead of just ticking boxes. Even if they mean well it's a soulless corporation's efforts, they tend not to do well.

Justin Belote #wingnut

If that was true, it doesn't give the oaths all that much value if they continue to support and enable a wanna be despotic traitor, does it?

Francis Magister (pseudonym) #fundie #homophobia #elitist

Or how about this got take?

The vow of celibacy is much easier to maintain when the sort of relationship you'd like to have is already considered dirty and sinful anyways. Plus people overcompensating for the fact you consider yourself terrible and sinful by trying to be as holy as one can be.

And this is excluding the fact straight men would go "Hm, tempting offer, but I want to have sex." further narrows the pool down for potential priests.

No need for plots or plans, no need to blame attention seekers or praise addicts, just simple facts about the priesthood and Christian practices.

Thinking of that, since people don't really ask priests about their sex lives and generally appreciate them, another aspect could be just a way to be welcomed in the community that being a lay homosexual wouldn't offer.

various commenters #transphobia

The main issue is just problems with accepting definitions. If you are talking to someone who is in the camp "trans women are women" asking someone to give you a definition of a quadrilateral that includes squares but excludes a rhombus.

You may be so tied up in things that you're happy stating all that quadrilaterals and squares are interchangeable, but if you're talking with someone who says that there are various types (square, rhombus, rectangle, etc) you're never going to agree.

Jesse Lee Peterson #forced-birth #wingnut

The Civil Rights Movement?

Not the targeted racism, the War on Drugs that often targeted the black community, or harsher legal issues to break up their families, or other actually harmful things.

No, being able to share a bus, table, or water fountain with white folks without getting lynched is surely among the worst things that could happen.

Jesse Lee Peterson #conspiracy #wingnut

Or, and hear me out on this I know it's crazy, the various other ethnic groups have always been included in the "colored" groups but it has predominately referred to blacks in US history as they were the largest minority. And the term's association with black people wouod would only be compounded by slavery, the Civil War, the Jim Crow Era, the Civil Rights Movement, and all those other clearly minor historical details someone like Jesse here obviously forgot.

I know it's just ridiculous to think a term that describes everyone not white could possibly mean everyone not white, but I'm sure with enough patience, Jesse could understand it.

1. That's not quoting Ian McKellen. You not only don't have the quotes to show where it stops, but you've changed the quote from Gandalf. You warped the first and second paragraph and added the entire middle. Also, you generally quote the character, not the actor you twit.

2. Trump doesn't bring anything useful. He's a symptom of the underlying rot the GOP has been cultivating and festering in the heart of the US. It isn't hope and purpose, he's just showing that they can be as vile and corrupt as they want with limited repercussions. If the rot isn't treated it will be a massive issue for the US.

various commenters #wingnut #racist

I do like how the response to an obviously absurd comedy statement is "Yeah?! We're violent?! Fuck you, should kill you all!!" It's just... a bit on the nose.

That being said, I did check out the trailer to see the context. It's a satirical movie that, well, doesn't have the most promising trailer. It looks like someone grabbed the sketch Key and Peele rejected for the "Dueling Magical Negroes" bit and threw in rom com stuff to pad the runtime like the older SNL skits turned movies that were prevalent awhile back.

Ismael Perez/James Rink #ufo #crackpot #conspiracy

@Zinnia I wonder if this idiot would admit to just making stuff up and stealing all the names for their bad sci-fi nonsense or if they'd pull the "The evil organizations are hiding in plain sight and taunting people" thing and somehow told the various fiction writers to use the names to make the truth seem fake?

Granted, at least with Umbrella, I'm not sure why even if as a cover you'd want such an incompetent group named after you...

Patrick Bouvier Kennedy #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

Other conspiracy nonsense aside, how does having the codename "Mogul" in any way shape or form affirm vows to dismantle vast corrupt criminal empires?

Of the presidents who came after JFK, we have 1. LBJ, 2. Nixon, 3. Ford, 4. Carter, 5. Reagan, 6. Bush Sr, 7. Clinton, 8. Bush Jr, 9. Obama, and 10. Biden.

The code names were 1. Volunteer, 2. Searchlight, 3. Passkey/Pass Key, 4. Dasher/Deacon/Lock Master, 5. Rawhide, 6. Timberwolf, 7. Eagle, 8. Tumbler/Trailblazer, 9. Renegade, and 10. Celtic.

Of those there are way worthier names of being some secret force for good instead of Mogul, a name that A. Simply describes his work experience B. is the type of person that would likely be a huge part of shadowy corrupt stuff himself.

Noel Joshua Hadley #crackpot #fundie #conspiracy

... This idiot is taking a quote about the end of the world, where the Messiah will start a 400 year time of peace, etc. The angel who is speaking for this chapter talks about how it's difficult to get to Heaven, and then how at some arbitrary point God is just gonna come full force, show off everything, do the judging and all that.

It's so removed from the sort of point Noel is trying to make that it's laughable. Like he was just going through a word document of various books with the find function looking for "hidden" or something like that.

The only real question is if he is being this stupid because of actual ineptitude or if it's a more callous con job.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #magick #ufo

In the live action movie, because both in the book and original animated one that snowflake thing wasn't used. At least as far as I recall.

But, I do like how it the Grinch talk is also completely irrelevant to the rest of his spiel. Though, thinking of it, it's also one of the few times I can say with certainty that Bennett has gone three whole fragments without saying anything wrong, stupid, or mind numbingly terrible.

Justin Rickenbaugh, Richard Keen, and Ryan Deffenbaugh #wingnut #conspiracy #crackpot

The only thing I can give these twits is that people do often use words not exactly correctly.
However, these idiots don't seem realize that words do change. Just like i doubt they would they describe themselves as gay fellows if they were feeling happy.

Words grow and change, it's like like people nowadays associate a draconian punishment with anything Greek. Generally when people talk about fascist movements they focus on the easiest for people to grasp. Extreme nationalism, extreme authoritarianism, violently crushing dissent. The exact minutiae of economics isn't as notable as those features. Using fascist to describe authoritarian, super nationalist, violent, and oppressive types is an evolution of the term.

But even if you were 100% correct, the Neo-Nazis and totalitarian assholes espousing a mirror of the Nazi's ideology and hatred excluding their economic practices like you idiots ARE right wing. It's why the swastika flies at right wing rallies, along side the Confederate flags. Might not be 100% vintage Nazis, but you're 100% totalitarian asshole.

various commenters #wingnut #racist #conspiracy

Let's take a look at the groups.

The Jewish people are an often persecuted group who certain crazed cultists blame for all sorts of ills.

Freemasons belong to a social club, effectively. It has lots of mysticism attached to it, though it depends on the lodge. It generally is something that more affluent people can or do join.

Satanists don't exist on the scale that alarmist cultists claim. The varying groups might co-op terms and imagery, though they tend to be more atheistic and just antagonistic to religious authoritarianism.

Can we see what the difference between the three groups are? Do you see why baseless derogatory statements to an ethnic or religious group is different than going after two voluntary organizations?

JE Aggas #crackpot #dunning-kruger #wingnut #conspiracy

@Skyknight hit on it, but even they must see the issues when they use a lot of different types of nonsense code systems. There is never any consistency, aside from con artists, you'd hope that even if someone crazy they'd think "Huh. I'm just plugging variations into this system until I get what I want. That's kinda dishonest and stupid." But it sadly doesn't seem true.

Henry Kissinger equals 181. But just his last name equals both 666 and 132. Why would they only use the last name for the other two systems and not the first? It's always a hodgepodge of hooey.

The only thing that can make people happy is alcohol? Not leading a fulfilling life, not living a life your God wants, or even the knowledge that you're loved by your diety?

So saw his last post, but A.A being slowly revealed to be a raging alcoholic certainly does explain a lot of his content. Almost makes him a little more sympathetic. But as hateful and vile as he is, it's not that much sympathy.

Just a bit sad someone who claims to be so gung-ho and religious spends their time at the bottom of a bottle lashing out in vulgar anger.

Gaedhal #elitist #racist #sexist #psycho

So because you are overflowing with hatred and paranoia, you became a heretic when your religion said such dastardly things as "treat everyone equally and try to help people have good lives." First to some variation of Catholicism, but after glimpse at the website makes me think the OP is into some sort of racist (maybe Norse based?) Paganism thing. Might be mistaken but the thing is crappy to navigate but speaks ill of Christianity in general.

I do "love" how "treat people equally, everyone is a fellow human being. Just because some have a difference from you doesn't mean they deserve less." Is always twisted into the opposition stating "We need to have every single person be completely equal in every way, shape, and form! And we need to have everyone have exactly the same amount of net worth!" Because asking for equal treatment somehow means we're aiming to be the Borg or some nonsense.

I was actually a bit hopeful, what with them apparently promising to explain how we can go from a carbon based lifeform to a crystalline one.

Because I see that here and there in woo/New Ags idiot/confolk material, and it's always stupid. It would be like if a chef said they'd transform the ingredients in a bowl from being grain based to noodle based. Crystalline is a form/structure description of something, it can't take the place of an elemental base. Like how diamond isn't carbon that "transformed" into crystal, it's a crystalline carbon. And not every crystal is pretty. Granite, for example, is a crystal.

I knew whatever answer ee got would be nonsense, but I was hoping for something.

Usually people will go the rape exclusion for abortion bans because it's something that is inflicted upon the mother. Even the assholes saying "don't want kids, don't have sex." Can't use that sort of excuse for rape.

And even then, what do you really expect? Assuming you're not just lying, usually people who support something like abortion have multiple reasons. Rape exemptions are often just the easiest for people who oppose it to concede.

But we're talking about the reason doe not wanting abortion to be dictates from a diety that has no qualms about casual omnicide, genocide, encouraging his followers to butcher women and children, and even give instructions on a method to induce abortions. People don't care about your objections, you're just happy to oppress others.

Which agreement would it have been, that expressly forbid Ukraine to not join NATO? It wasn't in them being declared independent in 1991. Nor was it the Budapest Memorandum, from 1993, that was Ukriane (and others) giving up the stockpiles of Soviet weapons to Russia in exchange for respecting and safeguarding their borders from other nations.

Russia violated that by annexing Ceimea and then invading.

Ukraine has never had a formal agreement not to join NATO, and Russia invading shows why they'd want to.

And, the other propaganda nonsense is equally dumb. Zelenskyy, for instance, couldn't be doing anything for "20 years" since he was just elected in 2019. And "In their darkest hour?" They started a war against a smaller country. You don't get to be the much larger aggressor and pretend you're in some dire straits like you're defending the Russian Hot Gates. The OP is a lying fuckwit.

So Bill Nye is both a follower of the religion of atheism and the religion of climate change? How would that work? I mean, even ignoring the fact neither are a religion.

Can we say Hammy here follows the religions of Christianity*, Con Artistry (Man worshipping money siphoned from other Men), and Shit Logic (Man worshipping logical fallacies and other miserable debate tactics)? I'm sure we could think of more.
(* It is Christianity with an asterisk as the adherents go out of their way to distance themselves from their religion's namesake.)

But, Ken, just because people go "Gee whiz. If people continue to pollute the planet, bad things will happen." Doesn't make that sentiment a religion anymore than someone going "Gee whiz. It's a good thing the FDA is like, moderately competent. Poisoning the general population isn't good." Or are the FDA-ists in Ken's world view, I wonder?

Bennett Lee Ross #conspiracy

The idea of a Zeppelin attack is indeed silly, to someone who is ignorant of history. Or someone who might not be ignorant but keeps lying about things.

It puts things into better perspective when you realize that Zeppelins predate the airplane. Hot air balloons were documented being Ble to carry people since 1783, and being used in the military (for purely observation) by 1794.

Zepplins were patentedin 1895, reliably flying by 1900. The Wright Brothers had their first flight in 1903. The war started in 1914. The time advantage and ease of which the zepplins could be created with the preexisting technology made using them for raids a no brainer.

And guess what, they still weren't all that great. They were far more a psychological threat than physical one, and were replaced by planes once planes became able to make the flights easily. The OP's version of history is always fucked, but he seems to imply it was a choice between using high end bomber planes or zepplins, when there wasn't a choice aside from the zepplins for the plans.

DarwintoJesus #fundie #crackpot

For context, it's in relation to a post the OP has about objective morality, and how morality is only objective because because God makes the morals, and that makes them objective.

This is someone rightly pointing out that that doesn't make the morals objective, it makes them subjective to the particular God's whims.

And then they respond with this nonsense. Redefining words and logical fallacies.

This Daniel person is an idiot. No, objective doesn't mean any sort of "mind independent" it means as close to facts without personal feelings, emotions, or opinions. And no, a being with opinions, emotions, and feelings can make points that don't include any if them.

People take exception to tying some more vague god to objective morality because they try to immediately shift the goal posts and sneak in the god of the Bible. A particular diety who is very wishy washy, petty, changes his mind, takes part on and encourages his followers to commit atrocities. Someone who no one can successfully claim would be an objective arbiter of morality.

And it's not like anyone has ever accused Kirk Cameron of being even partially competent.

But whoever wrote it sucks for the reasons stated earlier.

For all of Kirk Cameron's faults, I'm not sure if he's involved in this one, seems purely Babylon Bee. (Ignoring the book ad, but that seems unrelated to both "jokes") There aren't writer credits, and it comes after a bunch of shitty "Then vs Now" library jokes.

But, again, the BB really is terrible about being funny. Pride of Allegiance? "Pride Pledge" or "Pledge of All Gay Stance" (or something like that) would actually be a name of something. Boy and girl math just sounds like the setup to a sexist joke, joke about how we're studying gendered and non-binary words in Spanish. And "the black national anthem" is lame. Go big, BB! Say they learned about the new hip hop, rap, or hell, even the new Jive Anthem. Be memorable. As we can see, you're not afraid of being a bit suspect of racism with "Krystyna" being the QB. And really, just say it was delayed because it was the first time she was QB. The first practice for the first time just flows terribly.

If they weren't so transparent, you'd think the BB was a liberal parody of what a Right Wing Onion would look like.

I know it is asking a lot from this cultish troglodyte, but how does that "literally" prove your point, either with the literal or more modern antonym definitions?

It was on the ballot, won, and Hillary called it a human right.

You're just asserting it is baby murder. It is a non-sequitur to the post and it isn't like a tweet from a politician proves more than their opinions. Reproductive Freedoms include more than abortion, though that certainly is the part that you idiots focus on.

I swear, with some of these assholes it seems they just try to come up with the most batshit crazy ideas they can while still getting paid for it.

And it usually seems like they just get slaps on the wrists for abusing their medical claims and patients.

Yikes. So, this guy's thought process is apparently kinda fucked.

Emotional needs are evil? Are... men's emotional needs evil as well? If not why not?

How does "being appreciated as a significant other" cause violence? How can "being comforted after a bad experience" cause violence? Like fuck, man? The hell is wrong with you?
