It seems like you’re saying that the only way to give back to society is by having children. So people who don’t want kids or who can’t have kids are parasites?
Sounds like a white supremacist talking point to me.

Sure, but chances are low that uneducated people are going to great lengths to make sure their children are well educated.
One of the most horrifying things I’ve encountered in my career as a teacher was a father who insisted that his incredibly bright high school senior not accept a college scholarship because, and I quote: “I didn’t go to college, and you’re not better than me.”
I am old enough to appreciate that reference.
Congratulations on being a decent person even though your role model was not. It’s hard to break that cycle.
I theorize that the fragile straights aren’t actually straight. Which I assume is what the developer is poking fun at with the quotation marks.
Our social default is still to assume that most people are straight. It doesn’t make sense for a straight person to have a driving need to prove that they are straight … unless they think someone would have a good reason to put them into a “non-straight” category.
It has taken the better part of 50 years to get from there to here. I wouldn’t say it was easy.
The evangelical bloc was the hardest to convince. They had to get some capitalist representation in the churches to counteract all of that business about “helping the poor” and “blessed be the meek” that Jesus was always going on about.
Once they got Joel Osteen to convince millions of viewers that Jesus wanted them to be rich, that really clinched it for them.
Every case of a random person hiring a “hitman” that I have heard of has, in fact, been someone hiring an undercover cop. And the people soliciting the services went to jail for a good long while.
There’s a big cake mix manufacturing plant near where I grew up, and I knew a lot of people who worked there. They all confirmed that the only difference between the name brand cake mix and the store brand they made was the box they put it into at the end of the process.
There are multiple references to this in the Bible. This is the most uplifting one I found.
Psalm 90
10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
11 If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don’t see “Caper” yet.
“Thanks for stopping by; thanks for breaking my cow lamp,” is still common parlance in our household.
And “The Cheat Is Not Dead” is a classic Strongbad hit.
It’s pretty telling that they are trying to portray Marxists, Hermeticists, Luciferians, and Gnostics as united – or possibly even as the same group. Those circles of the Venn diagram might share some overlap, but (in my experience) their goals and principles aren’t very similar.
Agreed on both counts.
Let’s not forget Echo, November and Whiskey from Dollhouse.
That’s most of the programs car dealers buy… lowest bidder marketing company with no context and little practical experience gets told “we need X” and voila, here’s X.
I worked in marketing for a decade, and when my company started trying to court car dealerships, the quality expectation for that segment of our work was basically non-existent. We went from a high-end boutique experience with 99% accuracy and on-time delivery to mass-produced garbage marketing with literally bare-minimum quality control. 1/10, would not recommend.
Men/women - nouns
Male/female - adjectives
I think the reason male and female get equated with biology is because biologists need to describe individuals in terms of characteristics within the species.
Like, “I live with a small, white, female felis catus and a tall, Caucasian, male homo sapiens” is a weird way to tell people that I live with my cat and my husband outside of a scientific context.
