Whoa! That's a through back! Totally remember trying to lift that as a 5y/o.

The more I learn the less I buy the mainstream narrative.

The latest attack was touted as the worst day for the Jews since the holocaust, but that was on the scale of thousands, not the millions the holocaust was supposedly.

Also, Sept. 11, 2001 was a worse day as far as numbers go, and our gov't didn't let that crisis go to waste. Maybe we have a responsibility to Israel because we contributed to this mess in the middle east by our involvement, but I really don't think we should have been there in the first place.

It simultaneously appears really cool and also disgusting 😂

I like full black backgrounds on OLED 🤙 feels good, man

The one feature I'm sure is on the list is a comment collapse. I've liked the way Reddit implemented this feature. Touch-and-hold the left-hand comment indicator line and collapse that comment with children.

That looks like home. I grew up on Texan chili.

Ah, the generic "he". Gotcha.

You're completely right. I've only ever seen two, maybe three trannies that I didn't know immediately were actually men. It's a total farce, everyone knows it, even if they don't want to admit it, but the lack of femininity in women's, behavior especially, isn't helping the issue.

And with your spirit

What exactly is horseshoe crab milk, and why would people milk it? Is it venom from a stinger?

It is patently false to claim religion, at least the Christian one, doesn't apply the laws of nature to the moral needs of humanity. The natural sciences were basically founded by clergy and educated laity of the Christian faith. I don't mean in part, but the whole of the scientific endeavor we know today would be fundamentally and radically unrecognizable without the Christian thought.

The Christian religion is well aware of the natural laws.

Then to claim it doesn't apply those laws to the moral needs of humanity reveals a lack of knowledge about religious thought. The Church has dedicated much thought and energy to the moral needs of people in their various circumstances.

Rather than the blanket claim, provide an example of what you mean.

As an aside, I say respect of persons is a judgement of value. It comes from philosophy, not natural science. "Respect all persons" is good, but "respect all persons equally" is false. Some people, and some religions, are deserving of greater respect than others. Such as scientism is not a respectable religion, as it doesn't even recognize itself as one. Likewise for any Pegan religion, wokism, etc. And people who spend their time making dismissive remarks about others' beliefs without basis are also less deserving of respect.

I really quite liked the first two seasons.

Action is usually pretty well done. Costume and set design are great. Special effects are almost always amazing. Most acting is done well. But...

Sometimes the plot can be plain or cliché, but that episode seemed to be worse on that front too. The one theme I really don't like, but I really can't expect anything else from our media, is the continual "the lady proves herself and becomes the leader" typical feminist plot. happens all the time.

The Lizzo appearance was just too much, and I had to post about it. Why does our society worship obese and obscene black ladies?

Just watched the episode of 'The Mandalorian' in season three with Jack Black and Lizzo.

Jack Black is Jack Black, and although he feels a touch out of place in a Star Wars setting, he does not disappoint.

However, I cannot say the same of the the obese lady who thinks she's really something. Her acting is like a little girl playing princess. That was awful! The episode would have been much better if the character was just nixed from the plot. You wouldn't even need to replace the dialog.

It is true that God intended us for monogamy, but it is not true that we are not animal. "Animal" simply means an animated biological creature, which we are most definitely, as opposed to inanimate creatures like plants. We are not mere animals, because we have a rational soul, whereas mere animals have sensitive souls.

God made us out of the same stuff. We have a lot of the same instincts, but we have the mind to guide us in decision-making. We are natural beings with natural needs and inclinations, but we are called to the supernatural, achievable by the grace of God. Without the grace of God, we revert to animalistic behaviors, which we see evidenced in the above discussion.

There's both, I think. An instinctual aversion to too foreign is a health thing, just as aversion to too familiar. Likewise, instinctual attraction to somewhat familiar or somewhat foreign are for the support and spread of genes. There's a balance or tension between the two phenomena.

I don't think submissivity can really be a factor in the stereotype. I simply think it is simply the availability of porn from "exotic" places and the male instinct to spread one's genes.

Specifically what is not natural?

There's a natural instinct to spread seed widely (it's just biology), and so "exotic" is a "target", if you will. Were in the west, "exotic" seems to mean Asian more than other ethnicities simply because of population differential. Pair that with the fact that the pornography supply is huge coming from Asia (again, a population thing), and you have a stereotype just waiting to emerge. Not good, but it's a logical outcome.
