Ok well “real” Buddhism who wrote the texts were very clear about the existence of Gods and the afterlife

Well a nuclear war would be one way to end the conflicts in that region. Therefore he isn’t technically wrong in that it would stop the Iranian program. All that needs to happen is to convert 411 million men, women, and children into radioactive dust to make sure that there is finally peace. Also, it seems to be what the local population wants as far as I can tell, meaning it would be democracy in action. Don’t worry if it happens, skydaddy will take care of them.

I keep hearing this but have problems believing it. Wouldn’t everyone just be so happy it happened that they would be willing to just go back to the way it was?

You would be surprised all the paths that go that way.

My wife is a nurse and she worked for a traveling nursing outfit which is fully funded by Medicare/Medicaid. The outfit has about ten nurses and is owned by another group, which is owned by Catholic Health Services, which is owned by the Archdiocese of Miami…all the way to the Vatican.

American tax dollars finding along a complex path to the Pope.

When the Taliban raised it’s ugly head the Brave Sir Afghan Army bravely fled. Brave brave Sir Afghan Army.

The people there wanted this.

It’s called abstraction, maybe if you paid attention in class you would know what that is.

Real Buddhism yes of course. I suppose “real” Buddhism doesn’t follow any of the dhrama texts.

Do any full adults bitter about incidents of their childhood really think it was out of spite? I just want a simple yes or no. Like the teacher gets paid either way, and it must be awkward as fuck to drag a shy kid out a bit who is going to be wrong. I just wonder if people really really believe this was out of malice.

Johnny knows the answer, Johnny always knows the answer, Johnny shouldn’t even be in that class, and yes Johnny puts his hand up each and every time. Tim might know the answer, might not. Tim never talks. Tim is in big trouble grade-wise if he doesn’t know the answer on the next exam. So give him a nudge, make sure he knows that he doesn’t know, and maybe he will study. Cause if you let Tim just sit and space out they are going to get an F.

Anyway back to your bitterness. I am sure it is perfectly reasonable to be a 32 years old upset about being called on by teacher when you were 11.

Terf island going to terf

TIL I don’t know why I thought it was standard.

How magnanimous of you…

Well now that we all agree on the exact proper word to describe it, can we maybe stop Terf island from “massacring” a population for the horrible crime of existing? I know that it was vital for us all to spend our finite energy and time to get the exact most perfect word for the evil they are causing.

Cough HIV in the 80s cough

Calm your nipples kettle.

Nah I’m good, kettle.

Can you tell us more about these techbros? Are they with us now in this room? Do they sometimes tell you to do things, bad things?

Maybe hotels should cost less money and they wouldn’t have as much competition from clearly inferior products.

Neo liberalism is a Boogeyman

that tech bros

Pot, meet kettle.

I imagine people are willing to give a cut to Airbnb because they perceive, rightly or wrongly, that Aribnb is taking care of all the details. Insurance, liability, blocking troublemakers, data and time coordination etc.

I know. I stubbed my toe this morning, must have been because of Israel. Also the office coffee wasn’t that great and as a drank the burnt cheap brown water I asked myself why Israel did this to me.

We are the same. Twinsies!
