Remember Covid? That episode sucked.
The writing on this show's really gone downhill this season.
“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.” - Carl G. Jung
May God bless you, pede.
I really enjoyed the artist's creative use of the word 'nigger.'
Truly a towering monument to the author's deeply considerate intellect, zest for life, and love of his fellow men.
Technically, they opened local businesses.
They just used the windows instead of the door.

Except He literally does. We're told to pick up our crosses and follow Him, not lead others. To soften our hearts and become gentle and meek like Him, so that when the day comes, we can rejoice as we kneel, not stand, before Him.
The man's clearly in pain. Do you really think you'll convince him to come home by yelling, or threatening to "curb stomp" him? What broken heart was ever healed like that?
It's funny, because that's precisely what the police are supposed to be. Only they exist in the real world, where people get stabbed by broke, manic-depressive crackheads who just finished beating up their girlfriend.
"Our nonviolent crisis responders keep getting shot. Maybe they should carry guns, and be trained to use them defensively. Hmm."
Now you're yelling at me. Did an artillery shell damage your ears in the meme war?
Our Lord is a good shepherd calling us home, not a street thug punching us into submission. I don't think He intends for anyone to "curb stomp" anything, ever.
Relax.
I don't think yelling is going to help reach him.
Silly Nazi, don't you understand?
After the glorious revolution and redistribution privation will be eliminated, and no one will have a reason to break in to your home!
Abolish capitalism and you abolish crime! Duh!

I'm not sure who exactly you're referring to when you say, "they." Without knowing that, I'm at a disadvantage with regards to answering your questions, but I'll try anyway.
These three things you question the purpose of weren't done with a particular end, or destination, in mind. They grew naturally out of the respect for the human family under the Fatherhood of God. None of them was carried out in a vacuum, and they all occurred as the consequence of this very idea.
Now, I don't know if you are a Christian, but the founders of our nation either were, or inherited their primary operative ethic from Christianity. And Christ died for everyone, Jew and Gentile alike, while we all were still his enemies. He didn't die for this race or that race, or for nice people, or for the saints; he died for everyone.
The principles which undergird our republic arose out of this, and as such patriots through the years have fought and died to more fully realize them for both the good and the bad among us. They knew they were fighting for sinners and saints alike, and they laid down their lives for them regardless.
Faith doesn't deny evil; rather, it moves forward trusting that God has conquered it from the beginning of the world, and that we only need to cooperate with Him in His victory.
I apologize if I offended you. It wasn't my intent to be insulting, or rude.
I just read a lot of pain in your words, and felt inclined to say something.
Sounds to me like you have a great number of objections to God and His church. The kinds of objections that can't be done justice here, over the internet, in this limited method of communication.
I don't know what denomination you were raised in, so all I'll say is this:
God gave you your intellect and your capacity for reason; He wants you to use it. To, as you say, search the universe and your own soul, that you might grow closer to Him.
Know that your Father loves you, very much. And if at the end you still don't want Him, He won't force you to be with Him.
Much love.
I have to point out that the clips you're seeing likely suffer from a selection bias. Only the most provocative clips go viral, leaving the overwhelming number of average, boring protests behind. 60 seconds of people meandering down a road chanting with signs doesn't get as much attention as violent madness.
As for instances of police using physical force to expel demonstrators, I try my best to reserve judgement on a case-by-case basis. While it may look like an atrocity or an abuse of power, 90 seconds of video is always surrounded by the context of a situation. Was the video taken from a situation in which officers had issued multiple orders to disperse? Is there a standing order against demonstrations in the area in which the video is taken? What sort of stress had the police department in question had to deal with during this last week?
There's a multitude of questions and details that change the perception of a given snippet of video. If an officer whips out his baton unprovoked, in an area that's seen no commotion, without orders in place, and without giving commands to disperse, that's one thing. But when you're talking about an area that's been rocked by arson and bloodshed with people out after a lawful curfew's been enacted, and the officers spent 15 minutes telling people to disperse over a bullhorn before someone pressed 'record' on their phone, that's an entirely different question.
It's rare that we know the actual details of a given situation. I try hard to reserve final judgment until I have a solid understanding of what's actually happening.
It's bet-hedging. Corporations across the board have witnessed what's happened to their competition when they fail to bend the knee to the regressives. Fearing the guillotine, they do this sort of stuff to camouflage themselves against the herd.
I don't often laugh out loud at memes, but this one got me.
Oh good heavens; please tell me the "animals" tweet was a parody account.
Either way, that's some seriously dark comedy.
I understand that I understand that I will never fully understand what I'm beginning to understand.
However, I'm sitting.
This is up there with the, "real eyes realize real lies," t-shirt. Superficial depth, like a picture of deep waters printed on rice paper.
Episcopalians are in schism with the Catholic church.
This lady ain't a Catholic.
Pretty common for developers to pad out a game by having you go through the same dungeons again, only backwards. After this I wouldn't be surprised if we have to backtrack through the pandemic and Russia dungeons, too.
We've yet to see bombs go off, thank God, but if the Years of Lead are going to echo in the USA, we might.
I tell them what we were told.
"TD was accused of threatening police officers."
The official story is even more ridiculous in the light of what's happening now.
Hee hee hee! There's something about kids in suits that just tickles my funny bone. How adorable.

This was a hard oof moment for me. I love how he knows when to be tactful, and when to just speak the plain, harsh truth.
