The Amish run a lot of puppy mills, too.

Damn. Ok, wasn't trying to defend the Amish, just saying they aren't a cult.

He's right there, though. If someone said, "no one is saying the world is run by mole people" would you go "Oh so now we speak for everyone?" or would you realize that "no one" is used colloquially to mean "99.5% of people are not doing X""

Ehhhhh...the Amish are far worse than that. There is a serious incestuous sexual assault problem in the community due to the lack of real tangible consequences for it.

It's not the subject matter or stances why you got in trouble, it's your approach.

Why does approach matter so much to people? Like, someone was never going to agree with you if they care about that more than content. If someone is right, then they are right.

You get a short leash when you've earned yourself a lot of moderations. It's dumb, but that's how it goes here. She put herself in this position.

It's a cult
100% it is a cult. My father is a Jehovah's Witness, and everything that the higher ups of Jehovah's Witness do are cult behavior.

Yup. Amish people are just technophobes that milk cows and build nice furniture. JW is one of the biggest cults in the world.

give up transfusions? what?

It's against their religion. Along with drinking, smoking, being LGBTQ, celebrating birthdays, etc. They even discourage befriending non-believers.

Imagine ringing it 3 times in the morning.

Nobody wants to give up blood transfusions, Jehovah's Witnesses! Isn't heaven already full anyway?

It is a ghost train ride

I feel personally attacked. Some of my favorite games of all time being mentioned. Also, I feel like the Doom reboot could be called a ghost train ride and that would be fucking bullshit.

idk I liked it more than Elden Ring

When its not your cult.. I mean party with the idea it becomes questionable no matter what it is, even on extreme cases like this one. Dark times.

Well I'm tired of being called a pedophile. Blame the GOP for being evil fascists and completely losing benefit of the doubt. Not that anyone shoud be executed for the state for any reason anyway.

Foxcatcher was pretty good.

Why are goateed men with baseball caps such little babies?

I know nothing of this guy, but why are we assuming the man is always the victim of a divorce and needs justice on the legal side of things?

De'Aaron Fox on that king shit

"The ever-increasing violence caused by trans people"

Yikes. But no gender ideology problem when cis or straight people commit more mass shootings than in the past? But that ~1 trans/NB mass shooter a year? "Oh my god it's a gender identity problem!!!"

"Enjoy your stay"
"You too"

I think the number of bodies dropping is why theyre trying something like this.

How will any of those things being stopped stop murder?

Again, this is just for Federal employees, not everyone as a whole.

Federal employees are people too, and plenty of companies are also trying to do the same. They can't actually articulate why those jobs require people to be in office buildings in cubicles because they know it's just because they spend money on the buildings and hate that people have realized "office culture" is made up nonsense.

I mean churches are able to ring their bells when it's time for service so I don't see the issue

Maybe they shouldn't either, but they definitely should not during the night

"I love all kinds of people, but talking about them in public only serves to destroy gender and society! Wait, why are you people mad at me?"

Oh I know

Keep your religions to yourselves.

It was extremely frustrating trying to rent a house a few years back. Sometimes someone would apply before anyone even view the house, but others wanted to wait until they had a number of viewings and applications. And landlords run away shrieking if they hear you have pets.

Brought to you by the same people who think you're a nazi if you don't like characters being portrayed by people of completely different races.

lol if you have a problem with characters being portrayed by people of different races

At least it isn't the Trump administration? That's literally the best that can be said about horseshit like this

actually this gets me wondering if slaves could own guns, or freed slaves, or even what the politics were for guns and black people up until, well, i guess civil rights...

Silly you, rights were only for certain people who the government felt mattered

Supersex420 posted...

did you come from the politics board? i don't think i have ever seen you be non political

Never been there, but yes the vast majority of my posts are political

hmmm state that thinks everyone who pushes the "gay agenda" is a pedophile wants to kill pedophiles

Surely this is a good faith bill

Also Republicans: "You can't just wait around and see if an armed person will shoot you. It's them or you"

So they want a world where everyone is walking around armed, but also feeling threatened by everyone else who is armed. As I saw another poster say, no one really has second amendment rights if literally exercising them makes it justified to shoot you.

uhhhh

Is there a post where someone did that that's still up? I haven't seen posts like that last long at all.

Mods are going hard now, but people had been downplaying these laws for months in ToS-friendly ways.

Yeah it's fucking bad here. ACLU and another group I can't remember off hand are prepping lawsuits to tie this shit up in court, and one st louis hospital has refused to stop treating trans patients even amidst an investigation. There are people here willing to fight, but it's not looking good.

It's horrifying

My sister loves RE4 and she thought the remake was amazing. There have been some great remakes in 2023.
