Ya know, I’d rather just have plain text website designed for 4 gb or less. I’ve never been in the financial position to have 16 gbs, and it’s far worse now. I just want to not be denied access to text because all websites want to secretly run so much JavaScript and all the other shit. Eventually I’ll give up on the web and just be happy on gopher and Gemini.

Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist and author of The God Delusion (Black Swan), courted controversy on Easter Sunday by declaring his fondness for Christianity, “a decent religion in the way that Islam is not.” Dawkins went on to describe himself as a cultural Christian, noting: “I like to live in a culturally Christian country, even if I don’t believe a single word of Christian faith.”

You might watch the time segment of the video that I provided earlier to learn more about Dawkins significant contributions to Krauss’s right wing culture war book.

Most middle and high schoolers use chromebooks nowadays.

Which book is that?

I wonder if the title of the video holds a hint.

“Bring your wife to work” scheme.

The point is supposed to be that husband and wife are the same unit. Hegseth’s pastor doesn’t want women to have the right to vote either.”

I wonder what she thinks about him raping a woman. Probably multiple.

Hey, btw this guys pastor doesn’t think women should have the right to vote. The military has been actively purging women.

I mean, the entire video is covering his right wing grift book. There’s multiple “relevant parts.”

Do you want stuff about his sexism, racism, transphobia or connection to billionaire pedophiles?

I guess 58 minutes in would be a place to start if you really are opposed to the whole thing.

“my computer waifu said I’m super smart and special”

Folks should be aware that he’s now “culturally Christian” right wing media grifter.

Actual advice:

Your job is not to explain to the person what they are feeling is not real or rational. This is actively unhelpful. The experience is very very very real to the person undergoing it.

Remember that your body is chemicals. There are chemical systems that exist to tell you that you are in immediate, life threatening danger. These chemicals are able to override everything else - it is clearly evolutionary favorable to be able to just be on high alert sometimes.

These chemicals override your ability to reason. In the moment, some sort of physiological, primal reminder of safety. Food is good. Lying down. Touch and kind words from someone you feel safe around. Something that tells your body crisis is over and it is time to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

Breathing exercises can be good, but if you do them like a drill sergeant that can make things much worse.

I’m fortunate at this point I think that I’ve burned out my body out with caffeine and high danger activities, along with experiencing something like Christian hell in a bad weed trip. I don’t think I react properly to danger anymore, but I don’t experience panic attacks annymoe either.

Hi ex husband! And mom! And Dad!

Oklahoma has two categories of human beings: white heterosexual middle class Christian cis men (maybe “Native” ie rich because my family lied their way onto the Rolls) and not-people. As a not-person, I can’t wait to get the fuck out.

Fuck Richard Dawkins. He’s always been a shitbag, and the Files confirmed it.

According to DOJ-released documents indexed by Epstein Exposed, Richard Dawkins appears in 433 case documents, and 15 email records in the Epstein files.

British evolutionary biologist and author, emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford. Flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 with Steven Pinker, Daniel Dennett, and John Brockman to TED in Monterey, California. Connected through John Brockman’s Edge Foundation, which Epstein bankrolled. Mentioned 71 times across 40 Epstein documents, mostly referencing his scientific work.

How the fuck do you pal with child rapists and pedophiles and have the absolute fucking gall to write that stupid “Dear Muslima” comment. How do you fly on the Lolita Express and thing you have any moral weight on Elevator Gate? We don’t know that he put his own dick in kids, but we know his friends did. Fuck Pinker too.

Having a vagina means that you will get hundreds of messages. Some will be so bad that you will want to immediately delete the app. It’s a cacophony of dick picks and men who will just confess to the most fucked up things as an opener.

This administration has been actively hostile to space exploration. The only support is for moon to mars, because that fulfills billionaire sexual fantasies of ruling over Martian empires.

Projects like asteroid and Kuiper Belt exploration have been absolutely slaughtered. NASA has been cutting education and basically everything not directly connected to long term plans for Martian colonization. It’s also been cut up for parts and sold off to the highest bidder.

As someone who had some NASA associations, watching everyone bend the knee has been sickening.

“Hate crime.”

They won’t investigate racist or homophobic murders as hate crimes, but teenagers annoying the racketeering scam masquerading as a religion is a “hate crime.”

I remember being absolutely fucking pissed when I bought Skyrim and got a steam key instead of an actual download.

I remember there being more concern about being forced to use a platform to install/play your games back in the late naughts/early 2010s.

I think you’d want a diploma mill that gives out law

The diploma mill option does sound promising. I really just want to be able to send letters that won’t get tossed.

However, sending legal-sounding letters doesn’t require a law degree at all.

Are there any online courses or textbooks that would give a good intro to doing this?

I’ve found that any time I’ve interacted with the legal system, everything has been stupid and bad and made no sense. Pretty much every state agency in Oklahoma is routinely flouting law and ignoring things like public records requests, and the Attorney General has zero desire to do things like prosecute cops for killing elderly Asian men or teachers who molest kids…
