Just another useful political wedge.

Thank you, maybe if someone hadn't shot John he would change the lyrics to include an exception for the aboriginal mythology of australia, specifically the parts about peace and not the parts about tribal rights or boundaries.

It really doesn't matter, I've read most of them and justifying killing is high on the list of Important Things To Touch On In Religious Works.

So much so that it really is hard to imagine the world John Lennon describes.

But you know it's besides the point, peace isn't readily understood by most anyone anywhere, so much so that it's probably beyond most people's understanding.

Just kill kill kill.

You can tell me your story if you want, I'll read it and listen, it's probably not recorded anywhere, might as well share it here.

Sure, the people indigenous to the region around Mexico City have a rainbow serpent, it settled on a cactus and let them know they could kill the other indigenous people who were already there and take their land.

The feathers are more important than the colors, but that's one I know off the top of my head, that should suffice.

I have to admit I have very limited knowledge of Aboriginal Australian religion, there really isn't that much of it out there, because, you're fucking right, the missionaries who go out and make a point of destroying them in the name of God are a bunch of cock weasels.

Killing time it is then!

Edit: You should start with everyone not of your faith, as your God invariably commands you.

Some people understand peace, some people only understand war, so if you want to bring an understanding of peace to everyone... Guess it's time to get killing!

Or, maybe, there's another way; a way to find nothing to kill or die for.

All of that was set-up in 2003-2006 under the bush administration in response to 9/11 and came to light during that same administration.

Obama didn't do much about it... However, he did eventually (second administration) declassify the FISA courts that Bush Jr. set up and him and his administration took steps to automate and improve the disclosure of such programs and other evil shit with the FOIA improvement act in 2016.

Last one I remember was related to the keychain update, you had to re-acknowledge all of the maintainers in the arch-keyring.

It was a lot of work to visit them all and get them to recite their key signatures while I held their hand to make sure they were really there. The blood tests took a while to come back and affirm their identities, but it was worth it for the piece of mind.

People probably used a lot of slate+chalk or wax tablets for regular note-taking.

Similarly, archival grade paper and printing is STILL really expensive and folks STILL aren't doing that for their grocery lists and honey-dos. Not to mention that nearly all of our digital writings are extremely ephemeral. Wont somebody think about the future historians!!!!

Do roads next.

We watch the BBC live action version every year. ofc the hogfather is made up, Santa is real though.

Also strongly recommended The Life and a Adventures of Santa Claus by Frank L. Baum for anyone navigating these waters with their own kids.

The answer is to disengage yourself, and to teach your children AND OTHERS to disengage from social media.

Social media is harmful, advertising is harmful, drugs are harmful, gambling is harmful. This is a question of societal level harm and is is a problem for individual counties, nations, and states to address by the creation and enforcement of law, and for individuals to address by collectively shaming participants.

I'm looking at a copy of Newton's principia and it's pretty obvious from the first chapter that y'all are fucking idiots. (Except OP, OP is cool).

Try reading it sometime. Imagine leveling this kind of critique at any other book you've never read.

A lot of people play games with guides. They were raised that way and if they can't play it with a guide or walkthrough, they don't play it.

This is a stupid way to live your life and a stupid way to enjoy a game, but I get it.

Absolutely nobody gives a fuck.

Crime scene, blood everywhere, factory owner should be charged for every pollutant found in a 10km radius on the assumption it came through that pipe at some point and we'll walk it backwards from there.

Sienna was walled in at a time and place when roaming gangs of thugs could, and would, variously murder you everywhere outside the city walls.

Pretty good reason to want to get really cozy with your neighbors. Might be a good time to revisit the concept in some places.

Pick your poison, witchcraft, zen, Christianity... Being able to see things the way a child sees them is an essential part and something you might want to work on.

I'm going to take a guess and direct you (and most readers) towards a Christian reading, but I assure you, this observation is made by almost all traditions, secular or otherwise, across almost all the world's cultures.

Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 18:3

You have to remember a lot of investors are explicitly looking for human sacrifice believing it will help them get wealthier.

It helps put this post in context.
