Young motherhood nothwithstanding, it must be kind of cool for the oldest/youngest to be able to see that many generations of your family alive at one time. I only vaguely remember some of my (great) grandparents, I can’t imagine seeing seven generations, I bet the extended families are huge.

Yeah I’m no christian and I realize lemmy isn’t the most religious place, but proselytizing as a disqualifier is a hilarious take.

Christian scripture references spreading the word many times and spreading the faith is a cornerstone of Christianity. It’s literally what all of the disciples did and what Jesus himself (allegedly) did, travel around converting people.

As a hot take it’s pretty good but if the other commenter is serious they show a fundamental misunderstanding of Christianity to the point of absurdity.

I was raised Baptist and this is essentially what we were taught.

The end times are now. Everything happening in the middle east is leading to the temple mount being rebuilt so Jesus can return.

He can’t run again so in theory is a lame duck now. He’ll always have his sycophants but his hands are being removed from the levers of power soon.

Religious leaders on the other hand can lead their flock as long as they can keep the flock together. There’s shrinking benefits for the Joel Osteens or Kenneth Copelands of America to continue being vocally supportive to a lame duck president when they have their own power to consolidate and maintain.

If anyone in any position of leadership is “getting freaked out” I’m sure it’s purely realpolitik; not any disillusionment or ideological awakening.

Brushed and flossed, for the glory of the empire!

Oddly (or not, depending on your views on versioning) System V was preceded by System III which was actually the first version.

The biggest part to remember is consensual, as the other commenter points out, if you’re into “free use” but decide one specific person is a no, that’s a firm no for that person and no explanations are necessary. In safe “lifestyle” communities consent is individual and revocable at any time.

Because an election is coming up, not because they actually care.

Beautiful mountains and plains, gorgeous unspoiled rivers, four varied and enjoyable seasons, and some of the dumbest motherfuckers you’ll ever meet.

Your words were “sounds awfully convenient to me” so clarify what you meant.

Mhm, midwest US and N***** Knocking was what we were told it was called, because of course.

It became Ding Dong Ditch once we grew up a little.

We’re also counting the French Resistance.

Dude thinks all good things are done by governments or something.

the helmet is a big floppy dick for my Phallus gear set. I get all the pieces, it unlocks a projectile attack that sticks enemies in place.

Well now I want the helmet, but if I complete this other minor side quest it’s going to become uncompletable, but it doesn’t mention that anywhere I have to read a strategy guide to know that.

That’s one of the reasons peanut butter is an incredible survival food. Nutrient/calorie dense, doesn’t need refrigeration, shelf stable for a long long time, it’s delicious. It checks a lot of boxes that not many other foods can.

Or plastic surgery for their wives.

Some stores here have a big orange section in the candy that’s all Reeses products. They have a lot of chocolate/peanut butter combinations!

If you need a $7 candy bar “as a treat” for a job well done I’m not sure you’re an adult.

“My party” would put a whole bunch of people against a wall comrade.

Couldn’t, shouldn’t, wouldn’t, nobody is talking about a washed up former prosecutors from 2024. We’re so far removed from then that this current fuckery could have been avoided or diverted a thousand different ways a thousand different times.

The real question is for OPs Rancher and is who will you vote for next time? I bet we all know the answer.
