Ok, I know I have not been writing much lately. But it’s not because I don’t feel the same, or don’t care.
It’s maybe because I am just slightly ahead of the post-outrage curve. Not peak outrage. More like — I am over it outrage. Or maybe never even was outraged, except at the nonsensical outrage. Outrage fatigue?
Like facial razor companies complaining about testoserone? Um… yeah… awkward and obviously in so many ways — not a good strategy. But you go, razor company!!! Die on that hill, if you must. I’ve got better things to do.
Like live my life. Pardon me for not caring. I just can’t relate. I really don’t care about your outrage. Meh.
(Boys acting like boys?!? Girls acting like girls?!? Omg!!! Refreshing TBH!!!)
Anyway… here’s the link.

How about you? Over it? Outraged? Just discovering the red pill? Please share in the comments!
Can’t decide who’s the bigger dumb ass
The snow flake or the fuckers arguing with the snow flake
Well, Ton, it helped to pass the time while I’m sitting here watching the dog, post-surgery, with his nose cone on, trying to make sure he doesn’t do anything to hurt himself like walk up the steps. And the other dog doesn’t lick his incisions.
But I suppose I could watch more Bonanza reruns.

Ahahahahaha
1. Wanting stability instead of instant tingles…..whoda thought
2. I guess there isnt an app for that?
3. Milleniels cant communicate except via digital media…making actual small talk?
4. Realizing matching on a fifty point list or a hotness picture is shallow?
So we should meet in the real world, like the old days?
BUT….
But the scene in the Jillette ad where the guy in the doorway sees the girl and starts walking after her but the bro stops him “not cool”.
Houston we have a problem

It was good that we did have Catherine for a while. I needed to be reminded why I stay in Saturday night.
For Liz,
Prof. Janice Fiamengo has a new YouTube video where she points out how the original Suffragettes would be appalled by the female members of Congress who wore white in their honor during the State of the Union Address.
I have found few things in this life as enjoyable as watching my kids and dogs do dump kid/ dog shit.
Thanks for the Bonanza awesomeness, Fuzzie! 🙂
“I have found few things in this life as enjoyable as watching my kids and dogs do dumb kid/ dog shit.
Can’t argue with you there, Ton.
Right now the dog is starting to feel better, but he’s not supposed to jump or do anything fun for the next two weeks. This is quite a challenging task. 😆
Reminds me of our boys when they were babies…and I couldn’t even put up the baby gates because they would climb them…not only defeating the purpose of the gates but making them more dangerous for being there. Nothing on the tables, every piece of furniture that was climb-able (book cases, corner cabinets, et al) had to be secured to the walls. 😆
Just reminiscing (because it’s fun) our home looked like Discovery zone for years.
Funny how the smaller children are, the larger the amount of kit they require…
it’s like an inverse relationship between their weight and the weight of the stuff they need. By the time they are teens, it’s just a little cell phone.
I miss the baby years. Can’t wait to be a grandma.
oh, Liz – that’s how we rock-n-rolled here, too! Aspie-Girl climbed everything! i did keep the child safety locks on the cabinets b/c they gave me that two-second lead time when i knew she was in that room! lol! our whole house was an obstacle course and climbing gym 🙂
btw – glad your pooch is feeling better 🙂
too bad this all has to be anonymous … would be so fun to watch videos of your littles and doggies 🙂
thanks Ame. 🙂
Catherine,
A few observations; You don’t appear to be good at empathy. You only seem to be able to empathize with certain people with certain view points.
You have a problems with hierarchies. Which is common among people today. Which is sadly funny because our society is becoming more hierarchical. (But sense it is not easy to see, people seem to be OK with it)
You have “gods”, that you think add value to your life. You have identified two of them in these comments “atheism” and feminism. I have seen others in your comments, but rather than point them out, I will just say that you should seek to understand yourself better.
Over the weekend I heard a guy say that one of the ways that men protect women was through making better, more rational decisions. When women are in relationships with men, they may be persuaded not to go with their worst decisions.
A quick Google search indicates that Millennial women are getting themselves in trouble with alcohol and drugs. That is exactly what we would expect to see for a generation of women who don’t need men.
There was a Youtube content producer who posted a video this week of all of the businesses that are going out of business because Americans are not forming couples. It was mattress and furniture companies. Wedding-related companies went out of business last year or the year before.

Ahahahahahaha oh god ahahaha casn’t breathe ahahahahaha.
Sorry was that insensitive?
Here is the Janice Fiamengo video that Roger mentioned earlier. It runs eight and a half minutes and blasts feminist legislators. I found it ominous that they are all wearing white. It is the color of mourning in Korea.
The other video he mentioned, I will give a short synopsis to. It was presented by an employee of a bank that created store credit cards charging twenty six percent interest for a lot of these mall retailers that are closing stores. It looks as if “strong and independent” women are tapped out in the midst of a resurging economy.

I had forgotten about this thread until Roger mentioned it yesterday. I will leave this post here to finish off the thought I started in my post upthread – for any one passing by now that can read the subsequent comments.
Catherine said …Richard P. — It could be that some parts of the Bible are true and others aren’t, no?
Yes. It could be. Which raises the following point that was the reason for my initial post above:
In the Creation story in the Old Testament, what did the serpent bring to the party? Some say he brought choice. He did not. He brought confusion. God created choice by saying obey me, or not. Do. Or Do Not. Your choice. The serpent brought confusion. “God said that, but I say this.” Neither Eve, nor Adam, nor us have the ability to figure out which one was telling the truth – God, or the serpent. When there was only God, the choice was simply whether to obey him or not. That is all. When the serpent appeared, suddenly our condition got more complicated – as we first had to figure out which one was telling the truth before we could get to the “do I obey or not” choice issue. And none of us has the ability to figure out which one was lying.
Enter the verses I presented (among others that are in the Bible in the same vein). Can’t get to God except through me. Can’t come to me unless God draws you. Can’t say that Jesus is Lord without the help of the Holy Spirit.
Of course. None of us has the ability to prove beyond doubt which one is telling the truth. We can arbitrarily pick, and become religious (Christian, Muslim, Buhddhist, etc). But we cannot, through human endeavor, “prove” that one is more or less true than the other.
Which is why I said, if the Christian Bible is true, then this HAS to be a foundational truth – a truth around which all other truths pertaining to religion revolve: no one can say that Jesus is Lord without the help of the Holy Spirit. And it is God / the Holy Spirit who calls us out of the grave of spiritual death and out into spiritual life. If it is going to happen, that is the way it will happen. It won’t happen through the use of our logic.
Because none of us possesses the ability to prove absolutely, throughh human thinking, who is speaking truth – God or the serpent.
I am not a Calvinist. But, if the Bible is true, no one can get around this foundational truth. All of us are spiritually dead until called into spiritual life. None of us can say that Jesus is Lord without the help of the Holy Spirit. I can be religious, following church rules, while I am spiritually dead. But – even though being religious – I am still spiritually dead, and God says that is not a good thing. Coming to spiritual life requires something more than just me being religious. And it requires something that I cannot do for myself. I am Lazarus – and I cannot call myself out of the grave.
