Down. If it were up, we’d still, as literate and functional citizens, believe they weren’t actually the free-use cum dumpsters for any/all oligarchs. 😅😶

True story: I fed The 7 Fundamental Tenets of The Temple of Satan into a certain “AI”, and asked it to reformat & rephrase to fit ELI5. What it replied with would not draw a single double-take were it found hanging on the wall of a Montessori preschool.

The same cannot be said of the Bible, et al., and that alone should spark one’s curiosity (and, hopefully, the eventual unshackling of one’s mind?) 🥲🤘🏼

edit: found it! 🤣

THE SEVEN IDEAS FOR LIVING WITH KINDNESS & COURAGE

I. Do your best to treat all living things with kindness and understanding, using both your feelings and your good thinking.

II. Fighting for fairness and doing what’s right is something we should always try for, even when the rules or people in charge get it wrong.

III. Your body is yours alone. You are the one who gets to choose what happens to it.

IV. Other people have the right to make their own choices and speak their minds, even when you don’t agree. But if you try to take someone else’s freedom unfairly, you might lose your own.

V. It’s important to learn about the world honestly. Use science and careful thinking to help you understand things, and don’t change facts just to make them fit your opinions.

VI. Everyone messes up sometimes. When you do, do your best to make things right and fix any hurt you may have caused.

VII. These ideas are here to help guide you to be a good, brave, and thoughtful person. Remember, kindness, fairness, and wisdom matter more than just following rules.

To said rapist, at least. 🤢

Cultural perpetuation of the subtle lie that females cannot rape is only one way society crushes the “unmanly” victims into silenced shame. (Statistically, leading to suicide and/or similar breakdown)

Preach. ✊🏽🥲

Heh. Y’all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗

So, it still gives you cancer?

Let’s talk shop. 3D printing is my jam, right up there with punching Nazis, etc.

You stoned?

Is this a bot? That is some title gore that borders on word salad.

How hi-res do you have this? I’m thinking fuckyou poster size at least. Beach towel? Car cover? Oh, better yet: printed toilet paper?! 🤣🤘🏼

That last half of the headline is so close to awareness of their immediate reality, it’s heartbreaking to know that’s not the case. 🥲

Thafuq did you think it was for? Us? 🥲

Pretty soon, they won’t have to. No one’s stepping up, speaking out, forcing their hand. We’re fucked, so make sure your passports’re current and you’re at peace with the possibility of homelessness in a safer country.

“I came here to exhume Babylon and punch Nazis, and I’m all outta Babylon.”

A straw, obviously.

Everything’s pointing to “DUI” hires’ eligibility here being measured in arrests, instead.

lots of people liberals & other readers either wouldnt have their phone with them or have gps disabled

FTFY.

On a long enough timeline, all life becomes crabs., so at least there’s poetry in that doom.

Twins are freaky when they’re both alive. Though they’re especially off-putting when they’re at the other’s funeral.

Noted.
