The idea that Noah was getting busy with his son is pretty messed up and not a theory that matches any scholars' interpretations of this passage. The word translated as "saw" is different from a later word used in Lev. and Deut. usually translated as "uncovered," and only the latter is used to imply sexual activity. It's obvious that this passage is about simply visually seeing drunk, naked Noah because if it's about incest, why are the other two going backward to cover him? But of course, Mallory sees gay incest everywhere.
The bible is a hard piece of literature to dissect. It's been translated multiple times over, it is filled with things that people in the past would get and not us, and has things that are meant to be open ended. Even if you "know" the bible from your Jesus classes, you can get things wrong due to thinking of it only in a modern lense or the lense of jusr one denomination. It's sad that she's a literature student yet too stupid and haughty to think that she might not know enough about the passages of the bible she's quoting because SHE was raised in that heterosexual cult or whatever so of COURSE she knows everything about the bible.
This was the sentence that stood out to me the most. It's not really a piece about siblings but about parents. The parents of Genesis, both the ones she mentions and the ones she leaves out, all create the conditions of favoritism, competition, and material want that drives animosity between siblings (who sometimes have different, competing parents ........ in a sort of polycule situation ......... that always pits the kids against each other and against their parents).
So is this a long screed of "MOMMY AND DADDY LOVED YOU MORE, HOW DARE YOU," or am I missing something?
Father, mother and Tard Baby!
You know, I think he's actually implying that people looked up Joe and Mal on the web and that's why they can't get anything in the city. As in, people said mean words (true things) about him and posted out of context (full context) pictures and quotes and the landlords realize they don't want to deal with that shit. I could be wrong, but it would be hilarious if so.
And more broadly, is restitution the sole determinant of justice?
Discuss.
I vote that Joe should be beaten up every time someone commits a crime on him or he commits a crime. Wait, that's not what's being asked.
This is the kind of question that would have him flop out of the room like the bulbous walrus he is. He'd argue that it was in bad faith that your argument was made then waddle away to his polycule mummuring something about how no one understands him except the enlightened.
Plus, PLUS, I can't believe I almost missed this. Joe is arguing for asset forfeiture, one of the worst and most corrupt systemic actions police do in America, but unbounded from being limited to assets used in the commission of the crime.
Joe's willing to give up all his brand name labels to the people? I'm so proud of him!
the whole area is way too Black and working class for him.
Oh my god, you mean Joe won't be the most lauded minority in the room? That people like him won't be cared about? He might pitch a tantrum for days!
Joe's going to hate it, Mal could potentially thrive because there's some niches she could fit into but I wouldn't really be optimistic.
I think Mal could fit into most places where doughy white girls and boys who older women pat on the head when they follow the rules. She'll be fine, relatively speaking.
What else does Joe need? I’m genuinely curious why you think he’ll hate it there. Won’t he be more exotic there, more strangers to perform to?
I think he'll be upset because there is not enough to stimulate him, not enough places to go on shopping sprees, no FAMOUS parks and theaters for him to hang around, no big kink scene, no big author scene, people who like art but are focusing on their business or career more and just nod when he talks instead of fawn, and not a single person who is worth impressing to him. Maybe he will be content with impressing the working class, both blue and white collared, but I doubt it. The greatest asspats are the ones he thinks he is clearly owed, from smart artists and writers and journalists and all those other people he loves. He'll be happy if he can get 1 or more girls to fuck outside of the polycule as
@MirnaMinkoff said, but he'll likely say they're the only ones who get him or something like that and try and abscond with them to Berkley or heaven forbid, NYC again.
Basically, there's not much to engage him outside of social media, no prestige to be had, and no prestegious peoppe to impress. It will be hilarious but sad for Rocco if he blames it all on Lilly.
It's nice that these educated people separate themselves from us plebs.
