+1 for spot-on 1984 reference.

Yeah, I can see that. Clearly they were RECEIVING their two-minutes of hate a day, but they weren’t expelling it onto others.

Many people only claim to be Christian because by doing so they can cherry pick the Old Testament for passages that they agree with and then attempt to hide their bigotry behind the religious protections of the 1st Amendment as a way to make their bigotry both legal and socially permissible. I hate religious…

Religion is the Opiate of the Masses. Marx

Religion within itself is not necessarily a poison, but organized religion definitely is.

Right?! How about christian invocations at all military change of command ceremonies, no matter what audience members (who are told/forced to be there) do or do not believe. Needing religious affiliation to succeed in an election, in a country that espouses separation of church and state, is ridiculous. Yet here we…

Blows my mind that in the USA, you almost need some sort of religion affiliation to be successful in politics. I’ll never understand that. 

And her kids.

Right, she’s going to think God has her back when in reality it was just some nerds at Ford.

Lavar Burton or cancel!!!!

Religion is seriously a poison on humanity.

For all the shit rightfully said and thought about this woman and how she should never be allowed in society again, think about the person whose front bumper is gone in that video. That person didn’t even have time for life to flash before their eyes. Talk about fucking insane, can you imagine just rolling into a…

Yes, some of this is cultural. The distinction is whether the parentified child experiences any negative long-term effects. If they do, it’s a problem for which they should seek treatment, if they don’t, it isn’t.

God can take the wheel, so long as the state has her keys.

I get the point you’re making but there is a lot of appeal to not having a house payment. You have extra money each month you can invest or you can spend if you need/want to. You also have all that equity in your house you can always borrow against should you need it.

An “all-cash” offer does not preclude the buyer getting a mortgage. It just means there is no mortgage contingency on the offer - i.e. you can’t back out if you fail to get a mortgage and you’re committing to a timeline that does not include the mortgage processing. In the end the seller doesn’t care a whit where the…

If I lose my wallet that holds my credit/debit card, I don’t lose all the money associated with that account also. If someone steals my card and drains my savings, it’s insured and will be replaced. If either of those things happens with crypto, it’s just gone forever.

no i mean the critiques are very easy to understand and i 99% probably agree with them, i’m trying to find an apologist who might make it make sense, because it makes sense to me only in the way you are saying

can you explain crypto and blockchain and mining to me like i’m five?

So you dispute the fact that yet another crypto-villain leeched $256,648 worth of energy form somewhere for this pointless exercise of mining for profit?
