The "for you" feed is back to normal today, all the Russia-about-to-invade-Baltics posting gone. Apparently the Americans did some deal about Greenland so I guess that's what the algo change was about. Man, what an absolute psyop
In the past 24 hours my entire twitter timeline has turned into "Russia will invade the Baltics". I have never seen these accounts before. Not seeing this with accs I actually follow. Did I get pulled into an algo bubble by liking the wrong tweet, or what is going on?

These churches do not get built anymore, because that particular *level* of utilitarian iconoclasm is just a point on a slippery slope.
The next stage is: "why waste all that money on bricks and pews, when a metal building with folding chairs is 10x cheaper?"

It’s because “pet” is a misleading analogy.
A pet is a mammal. A fellow being in the circle of love. You viscerally love your dog or cat. And it loves you. Not an analogy.
The Omnicause client is more like your “pet” tarantula or scorpion. You love Fangz since she cost you $120
For a movement whose core identity is to learn from history, it never ceases to amaze me how many conservatives never seem to have opened a history book. Like most people, all they know is WW2 and the fall of Rome, usually half-remembered from TV-documentaries.

Thinking about how rave culture was shut down with extreme prejudice because kids getting together to drop e in giant warehouse cuddle puddles on the edge of the city where they weren't bothering anyone could not be tolerated, and now we have fent zombies littering urban cores with used needles and the only reaction from the authorities is safe injection sites and distributing narcan to first responders, but this can't even be chalked up to a more permissive attitude in general because it's not like they're letting kids have raves again.

Annexation is for plebs. A man of culture dreams of partition.

God you conservacon grifters are so predictable.
Last year Iryna was the “tipping point.” This year there’s nothing left of her but some vandalized murals.
“Tipping point” means “we only have to do a little and God will do the rest.” Atheists and Christians concur: you are GAY

Hitting your kids is in the same category as circumcision, iPads, strict adherence to the CDC vaccine schedule---it is for Ns, goyim, and walmart pajama people. It lowers IQ (Straus, 1995), increases aggression (Gershoff, 2016), is less effective than a timeout, and requires escalation to keep working. The replies to articles like this are filled up with the Dumbest People Who Ever Existed saying "it worked for me" and then genuinely malicious and hateful morons dropping reaction gifs of like daffy duck swinging a belt
"EVERY STATE IN AMERICA ALLOWS YOU TO PHYSICALLY CORRECT YOUR CHILD. It's legal. It's fun. Bring it on." -- profile says: Cat Sanctuary Dad. Unyielding steel. Workouts, keto, cat chaos, anime rants. Godzilla, Gundam, Mazinger, Ultraman, classical art, manga.
If you hit your kids, you will create permanent emotional distance with the only person/people you could ever be that close to, not to mention sending them down the road of being as much of a lost fuckup loser as you are who will hit their own kids, or wont, but only after spending a decade figuring out why they reflexively apologize all the time.

Until the 1750s, Sweden's population was overestimated by a factor of 10, so the govt was often freaking out about why they were producing leading scientists and statesmen in "only" a few fields. They tried holding themselves to the same level as England, France, or the HRE
boss has been “up for days” trying to Ai generate a set design and i told him we can just hire a 3D artist to do it in less than a day.
he reluctantly agreed and now he’s “amazed” he can request little tweaks and they can do it without altering the entire image.
