Scientists have scanned the brain during religious experiences and the brain lights up like a Christmas tree. Whether we like it or not, most humans are religious.
I don't doubt it. It's just innately interesting to me that you can't really separate a Man from God.
A few years ago, there was a moment in time where I was traveling around the country, and I met a local Priest at a more rural town somewhere in the Midwest. He was a nice gentleman I spoke to while I was resting in the area. Alongside talks about how life's going, we spoke about religion and God. I don't recall the specifics, but I remember feeling extremely overwhelmed (in a positive way) by the thought of God. I almost broke down crying. It felt like something else to me in that moment.

Just buy a cook book and do what it says. It's that easy.
Honestly, this is really easy to believe when you look at how simple-minded and shallow he is. He can't understand anything more complicated than "support the designated good thing" because he doesn't have a brain that works well enough to do so. The only way he could have a favorite book or poem is if he was instructed to have one, or if he figured out which ones were the most politically convenient to designate as his favorites.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trudeau answered exactly like this if asked.
Great, you mongoloids stopped having discussions about Captain Planet and now you discuss how much goyslop do you eat.
We stopped talking about Captain Planet after the last thread ended. It's Swat Kats talk now.
 
Whether we like it or not, most humans are religious.
I'd say the vast majority are at least spiritual. Little rituals that people do like touching something, using things in certain patterned ways to achieve better results, treating certain things like complex machines as if they had animism to them, a belief -subconscious or not- that there is some unseen force or intelligence acting upon the world.
I've certainly had experiences and feelings about or in certain places and times that I would call at the very least highly spiritual, if not religious.
 
Makes sense since Britain is an islamist state now.
I keep hoping I wake up one day and see some cave-dwelling raghead put out a public announcement that their terror cell of the week now owns England, France, and Germany and states they're Islamic, Muslim-majority states under their ownership. I would love to see their governments tie themselves into knots over it for the sake of not appearing racist to brown people.
 
This doesn't surprise me. It dawned upon me earlier while watching a podcast that Khalil is like a grassroots Soros person. I don't know if anyone recalls my stories about meeting one of these people in college but basically the TLDR is that there are paid people who's job is to start activist organizations in colleges all throughout the state to make them protest, well virtually anything. Khalil is likely one of these people. He fits the MO. He's on a green card as a foreigner. He's already long since graduated college AND graduate school. He founded the activist groups causing all this trouble. He probably has ties to the state's student union as well. He needs a full IRS audit.

I'm 1000% positive that Khalil is a paid for grassroots person likely funded by Soros NGOs.
I joked about this guy being a spook but I guess I was right in the end
 
EPA now going in and deregulating

“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin.

“Alongside President Trump, we are living up to our promises to unleash American energy, lower costs for Americans, revitalize the American auto industry, and work hand-in-hand with our state partners to advance our shared mission,” added EPA Administrator Zeldin.
 
Might be late, but I feel like you are generalizing too broadly and making cooking seem too long. You can prep a decent meal in 15 minutes and pop your ass on the couch while it cooks with only about 5 minutes of clean up. I do it every day and I work much more than the average person.

I think the hesitancy to cook comes from anxiety at trying something they dont know and failing, the belief it takes a long time to cook, and and start up cost, if you have no cooking supplies.


When you have to buy a 20 dollar pot, 5 dollar cutting board, and 10 dollars of spices just to cook 10 dollars worth of spaghetti, it can seem cheaper and easier to go out to eat since a lot of people dont think of buying cooking supplies as an investment that will pay off in a few weeks.
Welfare and food stamps should have an alternative option where they send you the needed cooking supplies delivered similar to a meal service and half of the money you saved as cash money to incentive it.
 
and half of the money you saved as cash money to incentive it
inb4 ten million meals a day get thrown in the trash while the money gets spent on newports and a forty of malt
much better for that money to be sent to utility companies or something as credit to their bill, though ideally not sent at all
 
Good, maybe we can focus on actual important shit like cleaning up toxic waste without accidentally releasing it back into a river.
I would love that too, but this is a Republican administration. Why would they fund anything that promotes woke climate change when they can overlook pollution caused by their donors?

Unfortunately a large number of Americans are unable to follow written instructions. At all. If you give them a list of 5 steps, they do maybe 2, skip 1, and get the last two wrong.
I like how everyone is pretending it’s all over because of a bad month in the stock market. Roughly 90% of what happens in this year will have no bearing on the midterms. People only care dearly about the now.
Most stonks are up today based on lower-than-expected inflation reports.
 
Who's responsible for repealing all of the stupid emissions standards that heavily discouraged selling fuel efficient small and cheap cars and trucks in America like the Mazda BT-50 or Ford Focus?
I hate the CAFE standards, but unfortunately they were enacted by Congress and regulated by the Department of Transportation so EPA cuts probably won't have much effect.
 
If that's the case the only thing that can be happening is the Ukrainians are doing what they always do. Killing Russians and making them pay dearly to take anything back. Basically, letting the Russians take it but making them pay far out their asses for it.

I highly doubt the Russian military went from garbage to competent in 2 weeks. LOL
Probably not a good idea to talk about Ukraine ITT due to a certain jannie who lurks here.
 
The Russian military was holding back. The only reason they've really lost to Ukraine is due to losing the Dollar War. Russia still has plenty of gas left in them to retake things. I imagine Ukraine isn't in any position to maintain needless expedientures since their gibs turned off too. I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine is just letting them take territory.
Trump turned the tap back on today, what are you talking about about?
