Horrifying Things That Are Viewed As Normal

[Sho'nuff]

Incest being legal in New Jersey and Rhode Island.

NJ is the biggest freak show. You’ll get arrested if you pump your own gas but not for pumping your sister.

I pump my gas all the time, no one gives a shit, it's not some law where cops are sitting around stations waiting for an out of towner to come in and get thrown in the pokey. Pretty sure it's in the same vein as selling cigarettes to minors, the store itself gets in trouble. Honestly I don't know why more states don't have service gas stations, it's amazing, fucking 10 degrees outside and I don't have to get out my car for gas. Not to mention out of all the states I've lived in, NJ has by far the most efficient stations, people don't take 30 mins to pump their gas, then go inside to spend another 30 minutes making a slushee all to pay for the 10 dollars of fuel.

We had them for decades, nobody wanted to use them anymore and they phased them out. It’s just a useless service. Plus they still exist here, if you’re that concerned about it.

Just seems super weird.

Circumcision is also pretty fucked up. It was originally a requirement to officially become a Christfag, and Kellogg brought it back in an attempt to prevent masturbation because he thought all pleasure was evil. Saying it's to prevent infection is just a cover for one of the other two reasons. Instead of mutilating babies' genitals (at the expense of sensitivity in adulthood) we should teach parents how to properly clean their baby's junk during a diaper change to prevent infection. If they were cutting off babies' clits for any reason everyone would be chimping out hard, but chopping up babies' dicks is just fine? It disturbs me that we view genital mutilation as normal.

It was pushed by doctor's in the 80s and 90s on the infection angle. I guess it became so entrenched at that point in America, even the doctor's bought into the bullshit.

It's not even a Christian thing, European Christians don't do that. It's kike shit, and arab shit, pure and simple. Arab's used to circumcise Christian slaves they captured during war to signify their conversion to Islam, and faggot rabbis made a whole religion around biting off baby foreskin with their crooked, jew teeth.

I'm glad my parents were too poor to have me cut on as a baby. They had too many kids and insurance stopped covering it around the time they were having kids.

One of the first issues of the Church brought up in the Acts of the Apostles was whether Christians needed to be circumcised. It was decided they are not.

Trash in general just being thrown really gets to me.

I live on a fairly isolated rural road. Doesn't connect to any where so there's only two reasons why you would be on it.
1) you live there
2) driving to a hiking trail/camp ground on it.

The amount of trash I keep seeing on the side of the road is too much. There's just no reason. If your hiking the trails, why are you ruining for everyone? If you live there, then why are you ruining where you live?

I just don't understand.

This drives me insane. I've driven with coworkers who've thrown trash out the window while on the way back to the plant.

Right next to the diesel pump where we have to stop anyway and fill up as soon as we pull back into the job, there's a giant trashcan and a dumpster. But no, a lot of them wanna throw their trash out on the side of the road.

None of my helpers do this when they're with me because I bitch at them about it, "Wtf are you doing? You live in this city and you're just gonna throw garbage everywhere? What's your problem."

I know the other drivers still do it but there's nothing I can do about them.

Christians are STILL fighting over this shit? It's been long enough, numbnuts!

Look, I agree that we have bigger problems that we need to deal with first but Protestantism is at the root of the West’s decline.

I got no dog in a slapfight between people who say their sky daddy loves THEM better. I just facepalm at you still arguing about it.

But hey, I'm at least morbidly curious enough to want a TL;DR as to why submitting myself to a man in a funny hat in Rome will make my life better.

Because funny hat is funny.

Better Christian apologetics than most, I'll grant you that.

24/7 availability, courtesy of mobile phones and email. It's just expected now, and most kids are so used to the idea that they both need to always be reachable and that most of what they do is public or recorded that they really have zero idea of what privacy is.
It's a fucking bastard to counter, too.

I just wanted to add the sheer amount of adults who reinforce this mentality by answering their phone anytime, anywhere and cannot seem to do mundane chores like shopping for groceries without simultaneously FaceTiming somebody.

I mean, it's one thing to be playing Tetris while you're waiting for your number to be called at the DMV, but it's another to pick up your ringing phone in the middle of the bread aisle and be like "OH HIIII, CAROL! ... OH NOTHING MUCH, JUST GETTING GROCERIES, HOW ABOUT YOU?!"

What did they do before, say, 2004? How did the get by when they couldn't talk at their friends and family every waking second of the day?

Oh, we always sang fucked up songs about what we wanted to do to the pricks at school.

"Joy to the world/(Bully's name)'s dead/
I barbecued his head!"

"What happened to his body?/I flushed it down the potty/around and around it goes/like a bowl of Cheerios/a-round and a-round and a-round it goes!"

I've often wondered if "Zero Tolerance" policies are actually a contributor to the issue: Now that letting off steam like this or actually fighting other kids guaranteed to make you the bad guy who gets punished, the potentially violent kids have both no pressure release valve, and nobody willing to step up and take them down a notch. They just sort of seethe away until they explode, and nobody can do anything about it except feebly try to get school bureaucracy involved.

I've also never heard the "bowl of Cheerios" line. LOL.

No it isn't. It's a drunken thought.

Some of the best philosophers, psychologists, and authors throughout history were alcoholics. It's a noble undertaking.

When people get upset at being addressed as Sir or Ma'am. More than a few occasions, even addressing a email to a collegue, somebody got their feathers ruffled because I used a term of respect for them. A form of respect that has been taught, and required of good etiquette among proper Southerners. If we didn't use this, we get a whoppin from our mama, it's that serious. Don't make us go against our mamas.

What is the issue with that form of address?

It's been mentioned in Sci-Fi a few times, the most recent one off the top of my head was from one of the first expanse books mentioning Lithium Battery mining in old rubish dumps, there is kinda already a version of this happening with the poloution of Steel from Radiation meaning that shipwrecks and other older abandoned iron and steel like mine rails etc are now getting harvested for things like scientific instruments, some medical use, and some other sensitive things - that's a finite resources we've not got a answer too with nobody really getting close to providing one.

You should see the ripping and tearing of flesh that happens between scientists and archeologists over caches of Roman lead that are discovered.

The rampant supply of homeless that pump drugs and steal shit.

I used to have a shred of compassion, was one of those "It shouldn't be a crime to be homeless" types, but it's become clear to me, despite all the infographics shared by the local homeless advocacy groups, that much of the population are seriously fucked up people and I'm less and less inclined to vote for any more of my taxes to go to these fucking projects that are not working.

Same boat, but there’s no hiking trail here. They’re coming to pick up drugs at the end of the road

About a year+ ago, during the height of mask mandates, I managed to stumble across multiple disposable masks just laying around, far away from the road inside parks. These people don't just stop at being too impatient to bring their trash to a rest stop.

Queer theory. At least if you live in the west.
