Yeah that one!

The original calculation (adding up all the ages in the genealogies in the Bible) was done a few hundred years ago, but all the young earth creationists I saw put the start at 4000 A.D., so 6000 years ago.

My one coworker at my old company claimed that Europe was banning people from growing their own food in their own gardens, and that the fires in Western Canada last year were caused by women firefighters in a diversity firefighting group that can't do that job because they're women and accidentally let a blaze out of control.

It was probably more than just one kid being rowdy and that was just the last straw. Could be just a shitty teacher though.

I have a hard barrier around expressing anything like that, online or off. The inherent hetero power dynamics make it creepy even if it's not a sexual impulse.

My friend turned to me after we watched that and said, "was that the most reddit movie ever made?"

The horniness was whatever. Bill fucking Hader as "Chief Firewater" pissed me off to no end.

The mental clarity you get at the 60-day mark of nopiss is like nothing I've ever experienced before.

Omg I want this on a mug!! If there is a God She will make this happen 😍

The real answer for a black bear is make yourself look as big as possible, back away slowly, and tell it to fuck off in a deep voice. If it charges you it's hopefully feinting, but if not whack it right in the snout with whatever you have.

Premade chili, or a thick lentil curry, will be your best bet if you're doing anything active on this camping trip. Cook it ahead of time, throw it in the cooler, and heat it up. You may want to add a grain if you don't want to do rice before or after on the same burner (minute rice will be easy though).

I personally love to dehydrate the above but that tends to be for backcountry canoe camping and hiking, where weight and volume matter a lot.

There are ways to hide your power level but you have to be very accomodating, not get heated, and figure out what direction to guide someone to get them started questioning the dominant narrative, instead of going debate bro mode. People want to be listened to and respected, and will remember your tone, affect, and willingness to treat them like a person far more than they will your points 90% of the time.

It means you have to tread carefully when organizing, and that it's important not to be callous about hardship.

If your position is, "bring on the US collapse; maybe it'll ease the boot off the Palestinians' necks," all I can say is that I hope you're right and I hope you're prepared.

If your position is, "bring on the US collapse; I mean how much worse can it actually get?" you probably have no clue what you're talking about unless you've personally spent time in a war zone or lived through Katrina or something like that.

One of the things that struck me while studying the Russian revolution is just how much of an academic relationship we communists have to major periods of historical change. From our position it's way easier to imagine ourselves in the room with Lenin trying to make a tough decision on agricultural policy than it is to imagine stretching your food store through a region-wide famine and crop failure, or watching your family all catch cholera, or getting shot by the white army...

She's better than Will, Felix, or Amber tbh.

A radical anti-porn activist, upset at his affair with Stormy Daniels, who was completely juiced up on a 93-day nofap streak.

That or a YIMBY who felt betrayed that a developer president never deregulated zoning via executive order.

Contrapoints

I really do sincerely appreciate this sentiment, especially as a vegan, but I'm always curious about the ecological environment it can exist in. It's practically impossible to spend time in the Canadian wilderness in the spring or summer without murdering a few mosquitoes, ticks, horseflies, blackflies, deerflies, etc.

RIP to a legit organizer. I took one of her courses a few years back. Super solid info and strategy.

Joey need drinky.

It's hard when you're not American and at least two of the categories are references to American media, places, or lingo.
