The probable cause statement says the investigating officer contacted the Stillwater, Oklahoma, police department about a “past rape charge” against Sparkman and obtained information that case involved a 10-year-old victim.

Fuck it. Burn it all down. I think dolphins are next in line. Let’s hope they do better than we did.

EDIT - Goddammit I forgot dolphins are extremely rapey too.

Jesus fucking Christ… Qatar is basically a scumbag real estate agent conning an idiot into buying a condemned shack in a swamp as a “cozy waterfront getaway”, but on a colossally stupid level.

Check out this YouTube channel from Dan McClellan. He’s a biblical scholar with a Bachelor’s (BA) in Near East Studies from Brigham Young University with a minor in Classical Greek, a Master’s (MSt) in Jewish Studies from Oxford, a Master’s (MA) in Biblical Studies from Trinity Western University, and a Doctorate (PhD) in Theology and Religion from the University of Exeter.

He’s gotten kind of popular over the past couple of years debunking religious nuts on TikTok, but he’s got a lot of very informative videos on the Bible and biblical history, what certain books or passages were actually talking about, and so on. He presents things in a clear and understandable way, without fluff or editorializing. I can’t recommend him enough.

King Heron is once again eating all the frogs.

Or turning them gay.

I have some genuine questions for you.

Do you think men go through months (or years) of hormone therapy, potentially go through sex reassignment surgery, buy thousands of dollars worth of women’s clothing and makeup and accessories, get their name legally changed and all their legal documents replaced, and subject themselves to being bullied from every angle including from the state, just to get a peek at a woman’s naughty bits in a public bathroom?

If a sign on a door works to keep trans women out of women’s bathrooms, do “gun free zone” signs work to keep shooters out of schools? Do you think the people who don’t care about laws against sexual assault care about bathroom laws?

The bottom line is this: Men already generally don’t go in the women’s bathroom. The men who want to assault women aren’t going to upend their entire life by pretending to be a woman just to gain entry to a bathroom, and they certainly aren’t going to care about a sign on a door. They’ll just assault women as they have been doing since the dawn of time, no skirt and matching heels necessary.

You can draw a straight line from folk music to the birth of metal. They use a lot of the same melodies and structures, and they’re both often built around storytelling and symbolism. Before the metal gatekeepers jump on me with “but but but most metal has a classical influence”, what we call “classical music” is heavily influenced by European folk music. Over time it just became more complex and incorporated more instruments and so on. Classical is just fancypants folk.

The reason folk music blends so well with metal is the same reason classical music blends so well with metal: The common ancestor of both classical and metal is folk.

Here’s some Black Metal for you. Arka’n Asrafokor from Togo, West Africa.

Prohibition of vice does not work and only empowers organized crime.

End of argument.

Any mention of “family” and I’m out. You aren’t my fucking family. I barely tolerate any of you, and I only go that far because I am forced to participate in this bullshit just so I can feed and shelter myself. Just give me my project, shut your dick sheath, and let me grind my life away in silence.

On a totally unrelated note, “team player”.

It may not be the worst thing he ever did, but it’s a perfect display of how petty and selfish he is. People asked him not to do something, and because he thinks those people are beneath him, he went and did it for no reason other than to show them that he can do whatever he wants.

This is the “public vs private healthcare” debate all over again. You can draw a diagram with crayons proving without a doubt that free public healthcare is cheaper than having to pay higher premiums because poor people use the ER as their primary care and then skip out on the bills, and they still won’t get it, because they’ve been so propagandized by late-stage Capitalism that they actually believe “what’s good for the billionaire is good for me.”

I’ve had these arguments countless times with people. Here’s how it goes every single time:

Them: “Why should I have to pay an extra $X a year to provide [SERVICE] for other people?”
Me: “Because the data shows that this will lead to better outcomes overall, which in turn leads to fewer people on public assistance, saving you far more than $X a year, resulting in a net gain on your part. Here’s the data, look for yourself.”
Them: “Fuck that. I don’t want poor people getting free shit!”

As long as half of the working class has billionaire Stockholm syndrome, this will not change.

Fair enough. It happens to us all.

I think it’s odd that you left out the part explaining what these men aren’t getting called out by their peers for.

These are men writing about their wives, their mums, their mate’s daughter, exchanging images, sharing women’s names, socials and contact details, and no one – not one man – is calling them out. They’re patting each other on the back.”

Men who are doxxing and sharing revenge porn of women is not the same thing as men “looking to fuck” a woman. This is sick sociopathic behavior. It’s weird that you can’t tell the difference.

I hate how many people are already starting in with conspiracy theories. She was sex trafficked as a teenager, for fucks sake. Then her whole life was dragged through the mud in public view while she sought justice. Countless people take their own lives every day under far less stressful circumstances.

She didn’t know anything that Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t know, and that bitch is still breathing.

Conservatives don’t want you to exist. All other arguments they put forward are just soft-pedaling to that end goal.

“You might beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride.”

This memo may not hold legal weight, but that won’t mean much when ICE black-bags you and sends you to a Salvadoran gulag from which there is no escape and no contact with legal services.

Its been so painfully obvious this man’s been Putin’s bitch since 2016

He’s been Russia’s bitch since at least 1987.

You should give his Wikipedia page a browse. It’s wild.

Let’s be clear: This type of person eats a very specific kind of potato salad that consists only of potatoes, mayo, and the tears of every customer service manager that dares cross her path.

Potato salad is like chili and meatloaf. It’s not a recipe so much as it is a formula with many variables. You can make it boring and bland, or you can make it exciting and delicious. There are no rules except for what’s in the name.

I love potato salad because I make it how I like it, which includes a lot of spices and vegetables and other stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever made it the same way twice.
