  • 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.



  • 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.




  • 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.






  • Towards Portland and Seattle, the Democratic party Promised Land. I hear they let homeless people ramble about free range, gay people are allowed anywhere, and they have a preference for independently produced music over major labels. The Wild West of leftist debauchery and godlessness.

    I assume Democratic party arrows point left to align with the simple left/right political binary.
