Donald Duckin’ it with just the jacket, obvs. Took any shirts off so bare chested too. Somewhere out there the AI porn already exists.

A million and one things contributed to my deconstructing from Christianity. One of the smaller, more humorous in retrospect was my pastor saying watching Daredevil would be a serious sin, inviting Satan himself into my thoughts and life. I thought at the time, this collar obviously doesn’t know anything about Daredevil and is just making a judgement on the name. Yet he claims to speak with the authority of God. Could it be? Maybe just possibly? This dude is just a lying liar who lies to make himself important to the congregation?

May this asshat ruin DC so thoroughly with his Christianity that it leads millions of more people to question what is true.

If the pastor had claimed watching Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner was the sin because they weren’t putting God’s gifts of acting to good use, I would have been more keen to listen.

Zillow defines a starter home as one in the lowest third of home values in a given region. As of June, the typical starter home nationwide was worth $198,649, up 1.7% from a year earlier. But in well over 200 U.S. cities, starter home prices are a whopping five times as high as that.

Is he wearing a kevlar vest underneath his shirt or is he just shaped like a block?

To counter your anecdote with my own, not that I’ve seen. My Gen Z sister and her cohort of Z friends have a “chosen family” dinner every weekend where they come over and cook. One person takes lead, the rest help as needed, and almost every single one finds recipes and learns techniques from Instagram or TikTok.

They’ve come up with some crazy good dishes that I wouldn’t have stumbled across via traditional cookbooks and more millennial + oriented websites. My sister also has much better and more varied techniques than I ever got the old way, learning from mother and other relatives.

Are there studies on this or just anecdotally? Idk how they would design such a study in line with whatever standards there are for the health and safety of consenting study subjects.

If ever there was a place I would go 50/50 on this being a joke comment or someone actually producing a very good study, Lemmy would be it.

How long before the billionaires ban surgical methods of birth control, too?

Hysterectomies are notoriously difficult to get without husband’s permission in the US. Even when the person trying to yeet their uterus needs it gone for medical reasons. Not a long shot to see it attempted yet within Trump’s two years left.

As for stopping men from getting vasectomies? Lol, yeah right.

He might have a multi-series deal with Apple, that’s not uncommon. I just watched Dan Levy’s latest comedy which is part of a multi-series deal he has with Netflix. Mike Flanagan had the same with Netflix, now he’s mid-deal with Amazon I think it is, whatever platform Carrie came out on.

User Tags. I skim right past when I see a wave of posts from the same user tagged profile. I use red tags for “do not engage” and yellow for “comment with caution”. This is my alternate approach to reporting them (assuming they haven’t really broken a rule or when the mods aren’t active) or to blocking them (not enough users on Lemmy for that, I only block bots and fully public Nazis/pedos).

Ah, not southern. Family came in through East Coast ports, moved West along the Great Lakes, settled in the Midwest.

It’s been a few years since she passed, everyone has had a chance to pick out anything they want to keep. Photos and diaries still left have been digitized and shared with any family member who want copies.

I’m actually first to toss physical nostalgic memorabilia, which is why everything ended up with me; other family members want me to make the stuff go away without having to trash it themselves. I accept my family role. Just the idea of doing geneology as a hobby gives me hives, that is absolutely not me or my personality. I think it is super cool and support other people enjoying it, thank goodness everyone is not like me.

I appreciate the offer to take a look, but I’m not going to share the things through Lemmy. I keep this account pseudonymous.

Ah, that’s good. I am not familiar with Ancestry.com at all so I would not have thought of that one. Ty.

Welllll, the Bible does tell of how God uses the rape of innocent women to punish their sinful husband. So if Brand’s the flavor of Christian that believes the Bible contains an accurate representation of God’s character, then Brand is acting perfectly in line with being a Christian.

2 Samuel 12:11, David has slept with another man’s wife and then killed the man, God says he will have David’s wives (concubines) raped in public to punish him:

Thus says the Lord, > ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight.

He doesn’t just condone rape or allow for it to happen, he actively makes it happen “I will raise up evil against you […] I will take your wives before your eyes”.

Reason 725 I deconstructed.

There have been sexual assault allegations against him since 2006, four years before they got married.

Yeah, probably not that one 😬. For multiple reasons but greatest among them, my grandma would come back to haunt my ass if I did.

Absolute dork ass nerd? Yes. He’s the only politician I can recall who personally embraced a label like “policy wonk” so hard.

Fit? Eh. He allegedly maintained single-digit body fat %. The low range % where hormone production is affected and organs are stressed. Contrast that with today’s Republicans who are all about high T and making very public comments about each others butts. (But no homo!)

My cousin, a very good high school wrestler, was seriously struggling with an eating disorder in the era of Paul Ryan. I remember transferring some anger/frustration over it to Ryan for the version of masculinity he portrayed. One might even say “toxic” at how “real” men had to be so lean as to damage their bodies and any resulting body image issues were a sign of mental weakness. Hegseth, Trump, and crew lower the bar.

I was trying to think of the Republican P90X dude during the 2010s. Absolute goober, but he was House not Senate, so your fact still stands.

Paul Ryan

I have the flexibility to work from home damn near anytime I please, so I plan to avoid the office this week. It’s a Midwestern manufacturing facility, so my average coworker is male and decades older than me.

Most are nice to my face, I don’t want to hear them spout racist, bigoted garbage.
