Because yahweh likes the smell of rotting foreskins, per his own words.

This means that Abraham made a tall pile in his house of the foreskins from the many people that he had circumcised. He piled them, one on top of the other, in his house and a stream of blood flowed from these foreskins. The Holy One said to the angels: let us go to Abraham’s house to visit the sick. The angels said: Lord of the Universe, it stinks and it is quite repulsive in Abraham’s house, because of the foreskins. God said: in my eyes the smell of the foreskins is much better than the pleasant odors of all the incense, as the verse says, “I will betake me to the mount of myrrh”

I mean, what do you expect from a culture that invented hell (Hel)? The Franks liked it so much they adopted it into the Christian Canon, so that there was an “or else.”

The idea that the UK has less in common with France than France does with Kazakhstan is hilarious.

Bravo!

To me, no one really needs to be told that being fit and healthy is better than not being fit and healthy. It’s more that, as a society, we’ve been convinced over eating can be repaid with excersise, to sort of balance it out (an idea pushed by food lobby groups). I’m not saying that you disagree with any of that.

We evolved as persistence hunters. Being able to run off our winter fat reserves would’ve made us poor persistence hunters and we would’ve died out.

The point isn’t the apparent health benefits of applying the worlds mildest buffer to a ph 2 solution, it’s that it’s the sales equivalent of dihydrogen monoxide.

The chats amyl and the sniffers The viagra boys (more kind of 80s dance punk revival)

Music has been captured by business now more than ever. I think you’ll be be very hard pushed to find anyone who can make a living from music that would meet everyone’s definition of a strong message etc. now. So, mines a lot less that and just more punk now.

Still preferable to having to live for all of eternity.

No one would call that donkeys anus in a temu bratwurst a banger.

I’m sure that sounded clever in your head but it didn’t make sense to any one but you.

The problem is capitalism

There’s a fantastic book called “Dominion: the creation of the western mind” that takes an academic, secular and factual approach to the early Church, as you might imagine, specifically in relation to our worldview here.

According to them, it took so long because of just how genuinely anti-wealth the bible is. It literally took centuries of work to push it round to the “gospel according business owners” we have today.

Ironically, a fair few of the reformations throughout the centuries were due to the wealth accumulated by the church and the outrage that could be drummed up by wild holy men, who would appear infinitely more saintly than a gold-clad bishop, all the way up to large parts of early protestant outrage.

The public can be wrong about facts which is what the article is talking about.

This is almost exactly what brought me out of christianity. I was institutionalised into it from birth. So, I always just glossed over the most obvious problems that people would bring up. If anything, it entrenched me further.

However, I started realising that I had more love and compassion for people than, not just christians, god claims to have, by their own admission.

How can I love a stranger than an all loving God?

It was all downhill from there.

Lol no, it’s nihilism. There’s literally “nihil” to talk about.

I only meant it in the same way that if someone spoke about an author who’s famous for writing about how to deal with depression and I replied “i hope that author helped you with your depression.”

I’m simply wishing you the best of health.

However it’s pronounced, I hope he helped cure you of your nihilism.

So true and it’s a great to remind them of that sort of thing.

You know, you’d think all of the people who say it’s purely down to genetics would be natural allies with, you know, molecular biologists (applied genetics). They’d be all like “it’s a Y chromosome or nothing” and the biologists would be all like “yeah chromosomes!” because we fucking love chromosomes but no. In fact, it’s noticeably absent when you start to think about it.

I wonder why that might be?

The short answer is “because it’s infinitely more complicated than that.”

Just because you carry the genetic code for anything at all, it doesn’t mean you’ll express it. The default setting for our DNA is off. So, if something isn’t telling it to transcribe, it won’t do it. A whole load of reasons could cause that, even before we get to mutations and partial expression or chimeras etc.

Anyway, what i mean is yeah, this meme!

Edit: also, don’t beleive the AI. Early fetuses are female, until the Y is activated. You could have an inactivated Y and the fetus could be a woman capable of having children. The default setting is female, not intersex. It could be either but unless a specific event happens, it will always be female. It’s a subtle but important difference. This means that all fetuses are female and then turn into a male.

Help, I can’t see my baby. I put them down on the grass and now they’re gone!

Wizard: I shall also wear armour.

Fantasy lore: no, you can’t wear that.

Wizard: why? I’m going to be fighting too. I don’t want to get stabbed by the first guy I see and die.

Fantasy lore: no, it wouldn’t be fair on the giant dragon or the deamons I’m sending you to fight. Enjoy your robe.
