Hopefully, he lives a quiet and peaceful life with his family. Everyone wants him to go full Count of Monte Cristo, but he deserves some rest.

King David attempted to hide his crimes as well. The difference between these two is that David repented once the prophet disclosed his secret sins. Pence would have the prophet imprisoned and beheaded. #biblestr #nostr

It's really incredible how reading the lives of the saints can be so encouraging to ones faith.

Very fascinating

The map presents empirical evidence of massive cultural change and the persistence of distinctive cultural traditions. Main thesis holds that socioeconomic development is linked with a broad syndrome of distinctive value orientations. Analysis of WVS data made by political scientists Ronald Inglehart and Christian Welzel asserts that there are two major dimensions of cross cultural variation in the world:

1) Traditional values versus Secular-rational values and

2) Survival values versus Self-expression values.

-Traditional values emphasize the importance of religion, parent-child ties, deference to authority and traditional family values. People who embrace these values also reject divorce, abortion, euthanasia and suicide. These societies have high levels of national pride and a nationalistic outlook.

-Secular-rational values have the opposite preferences to the traditional values. These societies place less emphasis on religion, traditional family values and authority. Divorce, abortion, euthanasia and suicide are seen as relatively acceptable. (Suicide is not necessarily more common.)

-Survival values place emphasis on economic and physical security. It is linked with a relatively ethnocentric outlook and low levels of trust and tolerance.

-Self-expression values give high priority to environmental protection, growing tolerance of foreigners, gays and lesbians and gender equality, and rising demands for participation in decision-making in economic and political life.

I really wish I understood what was going on in this graph

I'm just curious where science even gets there numbers from. Like, bro, 1000 years ago, we didn't even know Florida existed. The Song Dynasty had just introduced the first paper-printed fiat money to F with their peasants. We just discovered gunpowder for weapons. Nobody would have even considered mapping the devils armpit state until 500 years later. But "science" knows this only happens once every 1000 years.

Come on maaaan

Gym in the morning before everyone wakes up. A never ending list of housework to be done whether it be the honey-do list or the endless letters from the HOA overlords. And then I have 5 children... I have to exert more energy in telling them to do chores than it would take if I just did them myself. And then there is unwilling fasting when my wife forgets I exist and work from home because she is too busy dealing with the children's shenanigans throughout the day. It's a humbling life.

Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.' - Deuteronomy 32:35

Since God said in the Old Testament, “Vengeance is mine, I shall repay,” he says in the Gospel that we should pray for those who harm us, in order that he who promised vengeance might not seek revenge against them. For [God] wants to forgive by your will, which is fitting according to his promise. But if you seek revenge, you have it, since the unjust man is punished more by his thoughts than by judicial severity.

- Ambrose of Milan

good job, they look great!

My oldest thinks he's the smartest person in the room at all times, so it brings me great joy when my oldest daughter humbles him with sick comebacks.

Line of the day:

"You look like something that crawled out of Charles butt.."

I laughed. He told mommy. Mommy told me to 'have a talk with her'. I took her to get boba instead.

i hope this guy got so much business from this

I mean, between being stuck on an island forever or being 'saved' by the CIA...the hermit life is the life for me!

my mom had the clippers that came with the vacuum attachment, popular in the early 90s. My choices were to get her llama cut or to get a $5 buzzcut on the military base my dad was stationed at. Friendship eluded me in middle school and high school.
