Fucking national treasure.

Sounds like you had fucking awful parents. Instead of letting them drag you down excise them from your life. You’ll hear, family this and family that. Fuck that. Horrible human beings are horrible humsn beings and the fact that they were sperm or egg donors doesn’t make them any less so.

Hang in there, and use those parents to motivate yourself to be better.

I have espoused views in my life I’m not proud of, but I think the same can be said of anyone.

Part of my journey was a search for intellectual consistency. Their are people of faith who are able to do that, I am not one of them. When it comes to politics, there are two contemporary thinkers (Ken White and Radley Balko) who forced me to re-evaluate my beliefs.

I believe there are many Conservative thinkers who hold their positions in good faith. Sometimes they are even correct! I believe there are also many Liberal thinkers who hold their positions in good faith, sometimes they are right also.

So to answer your question, I don’t think my values were bad, some of my thinking about how to implement those values definitely was though.

As with most people we morph over time.

I’m an old guy. I started my life as a right-wing Conservative Christian. I’m now. Both an atheist and an anarchist. So yes people change. My journey has been six decades long.

Political affiliation has nothing to do with hate. We as humans are capable of hate no matter our beliefs.

That said the converse is also true.

The math is publicly available!

That is an absolutely hilarious bit. Great application for The Hardly Boys.

I think this would most likely depend on how many spell slots the wizard has.

Based on their theology, no, they should be using portons of their salaries to take care of those individuals.

This is an exceptional comment. Thank you.

I’m reasonably certain the command is for the believer to care for the poor and those less fortunate, not for them to abdicate responsibility to the government.

Another quality effort.

Who the fuck hates people for their ancestry? I mean seriously that’s one of the fucking dumbest things any human could do!

Thank you. That was very insightful.

I really like what you said there.

So there is a lot of history mentioned in the article. I was reasonably certain while reading that there is history that can be used to provide a counter argument. Then I read your comment and was sure of it, sadly you were light on details and I would really love to hear them.

How about no State Sanctioned Murder at all.

I’m a Slack guy, when forced to use Teams it just always tried to get in the way of anything I wanted to do and Slack would get out of the way.

Sadly Slack are busy trying to make Slack as obnoxious as Teams.

For a counterpoint, my wife loves Teams. She uses it all day every day, and only has good things to say about it.

This has been reversed
