”Some attendees felt the size and scale of the crusade was a sign that attitudes toward religion could be changing in the Pacific Northwest.”

COUNTERPOINT: it’s actually because in recent years a bunch of fascist organizations (which, yes, included plenty of neo-Nazis & literal klansmen) relentlessly targeted PDX with giant, violent rally-invasions of out-of-town bigots, which normalized exactly this kind of far right “anti-woke” gathering.

fuck this klan shit.

“‘Portland is the tip of the spear in America of stupidity, wokeness and failure,’ Meador said in a July 3 sermon, before lamenting drag queens performing on the floor of the Oregon House of Representatives.”

It turns out nature has self-limiting control mechanisms.

For example, I am currently in Berlin on a business trip. On my own. With a credit card and pretty close to zero accountability.

And I’m not off injecting heroin into my eyeballs with Iggy Pop because I’M OLD AND TOO F*CKING TIRED!!!

Sometimes I really wish I could rent 25-year old me for a couple of days now that I have the money.

If I were in charge of a research center and I saw one of my employees behaving like that I'd fire them immediately. Obviously this person has no fear of such consequences; or even embarrassment as a "professional", in an occupation allegedly based on a search for truth!

So apparently blatant bald-faced lying about text that appears right next to the reply is acceptable behavior from a "senior research fellow" at one of the top universities in our country?

#Twitter #birdsite #self #thoughts #society #degeneracy

Ey. Take your demoralizing elsewhere. May I recommend #Twitter? No, I'm not calling it X.

"The #left" as a #pejorative must stop, because the talking points are basically so vein and ignorant of the problems that is clearly a result of psy-ops. #ThinkTanks got in your brain, boy.

As for me, I reject the #degeneracy and delusions of grandeur that the average #oligarch has. They're #narcissists and #hedonists. I'm about freeing people from their clutches, not fashion a iron glove.

In her first briefing Karoline Leavitt said "This administration believes that birthright citizenship is unconstitutional". Excuse me? This is a blatant bald-faced lie against our constitution. Why isn't the media reporting it as such?

Apparently the escape from that is to hold a position of power or authority: in society today, your conduct can be blatantly heinous and people will say it's really justified and you're actually a good person. Must be nice to go through life like that...

Any time I share my grievances about the Palisades Fire and how I have been victimized multiple times over (not just by the disaster itself, but by the response) all I get in reply is lies, mocking, ridicule, and flat-out bullying.

Elon Musk's $1 billion offer to Wikipedia to change its name to "Dickipedia" has sparked a debate about wealth and influence. 💰🤔 Is this a humorous jab or a sign of cultural decay? With so much money, is stirring the pot just brainrot? 🧠💭 Read more about this bizarre proposal here: https://www.euronews.com/culture/2023/10/25/elon-musk-offers-1-billion-to-wikipedia-to-change-their-name-to-dickipedia #ElonMusk #Wikipedia #Degeneracy #Culture #notfunny

Finally got a car insurance policy: all done on computer with Allstate, whose chat box is run by Indians. At least they don't call up their customers and bully them with multiple swear words, which is more than I can say for Americans these days...

It's been a *long* time since I was able to really put the screws on somebody who wronged me. Feels good TBH.

I did my part: blocked their number and warned that if they dare to harass me any further they will be subjected to legal action. I might also say my swearing and screaming back at him over the phone was frankly impressive, considering how I was caught by surprise. 😶

#thoughts #self #insurance #carinsurance #society #bullying #degeneracy

Oh, so now I'm literally called up and bullied by an insurance agent who calls me "a fucking bitch"? WTF!? People who behave like that ought to be put behind bars (or, better yet, in a labor camp). We've normalized bullying so much it's out of control. Time to crack down. HARD.

A quotation from Montesquieu, Baron de:

«
Horace and Aristotle already told us about the virtues of their forefathers and the vices of their times, and authors down through the centuries have spoken in like manner. If they had told the truth, men would nowadays be bears.

Interesting insight of brain functions requiring both:

• electromagnetic neural nets oscillations sync
+
• underlying chemical dendritic neuronal triggers

» . These two mechanisms likely
work together to dynamically form functional networks. «

A quotation from Cicero, Marcus Tullius:

«
What a contrast to this civil war in our midst! Here, set deep inside the country, are conspiracy, danger and a deadly foe. Degeneracy, madness and evil are the enemies we have to fight.
