The Romans wrote enough about him that survived. He was very real, and they weren't that prescient.

But, was he right at 33 when he was crucified?

Did he rise from the dead? I mean, recent research into the Shroud of Turin has been debunking it's debunking, and modern technology apparently couldn't even make it. But, even if that, was it really three days, or was that to fit a story?

And the big one, IMO: what the point of the recurring astrotheological patterns? Something about linking all this stuff to planets and stars must have been really important, to keep it up for so long, likely going back far into prehistory. What was that, and why, with so much ancient writing on hand, and more being translated all the time, are we missing what seems like a spiritual keystone of all the important civilizations of the world?!

Why is the idea that parents are responsible for raising, paying for and protecting their own kids completely lost?

That would allow them to dictate how their children think and behave, including modeling responsibility, and impulse control. Better for the state and media outlets to take over, to make a more malleable populace.

Irony today being that the aliens in They Live are barely Neocon levels evil. Like, they either couldn't fathom, or figure out how to sell, greater evil, like we're having revealed to us in reality.

Christian, "anti-semitism," should be redundant (except that Semites should be OK, and, "anti-semitism," has nothing to do with them). Jewish leadership horrifically executing a man that basically said, "be excellent to each other, but don't tolerate evil," kind of secured that.

All I need to know about are the money changers and Caiaphas to understand where they're coming from.

"Problem," seems like code for, "recognizing patterns in behavior."

As a pro-lifer with ancient Persian heritage, much more likely to be vaguely Semetic than the majority of Jews...stop making words up out of nowhere, please.

I'm not even religious, either. Science, but not The $cience, does not support abortion, from what evidence I've come across, over the years - Plan B, or extremely early, like first month, at most. But, the social consequences of easy access to abortion make me against even that. As soon as you let a guy raw dog you, you shared access to your uterus. Once that zygote stuck itself on a wall in there, you gained a future obligation.

N/A. All the digital stuff is just representational tokens, like fiat paper money on steroids. You can make a system to track ownership and transfer, digitally, that can be more fraud-resistant than paper. But, anyone owning wealth will also have it on paper, as will the state. The wealth itself cannot be converted into digital assets.

Us peasants will have more access to fiat debt, not wealth.

Also, Jesus was a Jew, and did infer that he was an otherworldly king. That last bit was heretical, against the Roman Emperor, and their whole religious mythos. Pilot was stuck in a bad place, but had to deal with it before it grew into a larger problem. He couldn't save Jesus, though he seemed to want to find such a way. Defending this madman would just have gotten you killed, too.

Honestly, I'd have probably believed he was running a pedo trafficking ring under the guise of a mystery cult, and shouted, "Barrabas," like the rest of the crowd. With no internet, I'd be long dead before it could start coming to light that he was betrayed by Judas, and that it was all a setup by the Pharisees.

More evidence of a bubble, and rich people being quite capable of acting like idiots.

Because I've known actual gay people, even one that got straight (after leaving the US for a few years, interestingly). Many are otherwise normal people, and would prefer not to be gay. Now, I've also had neighbors that were immature promiscuous flaming fags, that you could tell from 100ft needed a good father figure when they were young, and that I wouldn't turn my back on if there were boys around.

Just like how I only have ever known middle and working class Torah-following Jews, so I don't categorically have distain for them, either (it's the Jews, still, but a subset of Jews).

Observe, and form your own damn opinions. Inform yourself with ancient wisdom, but don't blindly follow it in a world quite divorced from the one that made it.

Hardly a conspiracy, though. Items often on sale get high MARPs, but ever sell at them, then sale prices vary over time. Most grocery chains do this with BOGOs, too, where the price will rise for a week or two prior, then fall after.

Well, it certainly never happened to me. No one ever accused me of being a commie, nonbinary, or even a Redditor. When they called me things that were seemingly untrue, but hardly horrible, they never wanted to actually talk about it. Like, what part of Nazism do I appear to represent, exactly? I mean, maybe it's part of it that I do agree with.

Eurofags have been manual doing it for ages and that seemed fine. Starting a warm engine with plenty oil all over, shouldn't be a problem. Starters are different, too, with clutches. I don't like them for the unpredictable nature of starting from a stop in traffic, and it has an immeasurably small, if any, gas mileage improvement. But, I doubt it's doing much extra harm to the engines.

Sometimes it is, like anyone else. In the cases of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, it was genuine. Stan Lee was creative passionate, and sometimes unfortunately, a ruthless businessman. Jack Kirby was talented, but working class. His parents encouraged his art to help keep him away from gangs. His trauma from WWII fueled much his output, like a form of therapy. Nowadays, he has been getting recognized as a legit great 20th century illustrator, with the art world's bias against comic artists going away.

Rick Rubin is a creative and weird mofo. I've seen my share of documentaries on albums he has worked on, and I'd say he's legit.

Likewise, Clive Davis pretty much stumble into being a record exec.

Most of the music guys, and all of the Hollywood guys (yes, even Spielberg), though, went in just for money, power, etc..

I have no love to lose for big pharma. But if you took this stuff, willingly, you deserve what you got, and should serve as a warning to others. To anyone with two brain cells to rub together, GLP-1 meds were obviously going to be long-term shitshows, from the day they got approved by the FDA.

A fascist wouldn't even get to either party's primary. I'm not pro-fascist, as I'm generally anti-authoritarian. But, if you could give me a fascist to elect, right now that is patriotic, and not an Israel boot licker, and I'd gladly help with my vote.

But, how? You'll go to jail for driving without a license, FI, and if you need to renew it, it's more than like to be RealID. Mine was, before anyone was even talking about this stuff, and now there not even an opt-out option in my state.

Or, I create a forwarded email address, and give them bogus info. I get around purchase limits on good sales, while they get partial data.
