The only way I can see that making any sense is if it’s immigration into a very resource-poor area. Maybe a desert or tundra? I guess Las Vegas comes to mind, it’s overpopulated for what is naturally found there. Areas like the Sahara desert especially.

Other than that kind of very specific circumstance, definitely racist.

The Metamorphosis is legit. Yeah, over-hyped, but don’t let that detract from it being really good.

Yeah, like the US needs help inflaming racial and ethnic tensions. It’s literally been the goal for 4+ decades.

I much prefer Matthew 10:23.

Sounds like someone doesn’t know their own Messiah. “I didn’t come to bring peace, but a sword.”

Ftfy

Grew up working on a dairy farm, definitely drank raw milk and didn’t shit my guts out. It would if you drank, like, a LOT of it. But seriously you’d have to drink more than a cup or so.

Excuse me, what?! Going to have to check that out ASAP.

I was going to say that I have an awesome book about this stuff, and then I saw the author of the post is the author of that book. The book is called “Your Inner Fish” and it is EXCELLENT.

No way. The guy who said he’d give Netanyahu a blank check to destroy Gaza opposes Islam? Color me fucking shocked.

“So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide.”

This is exactly it for me. If you give me cash, I will appreciate it but just end up saving it. If you give me a gift card I will use it to buy something I wouldn’t have otherwise.

Plus, you can be more intentional with gift cards. Was your dad talking about how much he’d like a new fishing pole? Getting him a gift card to an outdoors store shows you were paying attention. Maybe your wife really likes manicures but never gets them for herself. A gift card to a spa shows thought.

Fuck dude, it’s all so goddamned depressing. The only sliver of hope I have is that I can pass my knowledge to my kids and teach them better much younger. Hopefully enough people do this sort of thing that we might finally pull ourselves out of our bullshit ignorance. I know it’s worth nothing, but I’m sorry all the same.

I think you’re correct. We were taught about manifest destiny but not the genocide of Native Americans, and that’s just one instance of the institutionalized racism we were taught was good. SO MANY PEOPLE never grew out of that or tried to be better.

I was also gifted firearms as a child. They were kept inside a locked safe that I didn’t have the combination for when not being used for hunting or target shooting. As much as I enjoy guns, hunting, and shooting, I can also see that responsibility goes beyond “it’s guaranteed in the constitution” or equivalent bullshit.

Drag queen story times are of the devil! ( The Christians say while attending church where someone dresses up and reads stories).

Except responsible gun owners wouldn’t buy their child a gun and give them access to it whenever they please. Any firearms I may or may not possess would be locked in a safe which no one but any spouse I may hypothetically have had access to. Unfortunately I lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident a few years back.

What I’m trying to say is that, while the government shouldn’t be allowed to come check that people have their guns locked up when not in use, there should absolutely be repercussions for anyone found to not be doing so.

Get -and I can’t possibly stress this enough - the fuck out of here with that shit.
