If you believe that there are over 138 genders and codify such things into law, then you can't possibly be male or female if you deviate even ever so slightly from the most rigid gender roles imaginable. Does your wife work outside of the house? Well then congratulations, you are not a man, and she is not a woman. You both lie somewhere on the gigantic spectrum in between. Then on top of that you have feminism practically codified into law there as well, so it isn't even possible to adhere to the most rigid gender roles imaginable, even if you wanted to, because they'd lock you up and throw away the key. So nearly every marriage in California is an LGBT union between a pair of transgender individuals, insofar as the State itself is concerned.

There absolutely isn't any wiggle room.
Sounds like you've spent a lot more time pondering alternative genders than I have.

Yeah, I actually use this thing that I have that's called a brain in order to analyze the dogma that is spewed forth by our "leaders" instead of just blindly following it without question so that I can pretend that I am somehow a small part of the ruling class... this... this really isn't making any sense to you at all, is it?

Oh, never mind.

May be a meme of 1 person and text that says 'You know, we never had a baby formula shortage... ...until men started getting pregnant.'
Schmidt's they had a couple of Breweries here, my uncle had a Tavern down the street for like a decade. They made a Classic that was really good and their draft was alright also. Unfortunately the breweries in Philly and C-Town closed in the late '80s :03:

horrific scene in Buffalo this weekend as an 18-year old nut job decides to drive there from where he lived 3 hours away and shoot up a grocery store with an AR in a black neighborhood, killing 10 people and injuring 3. 11 of his victims were black and 2 were white.

And of course CNN, Rolling Stone, MSNBC, and even the Gov. of NY already blaming "free speech", Republicans, Fox News, Tucker Carlson. Oh and also making weird claims about this guy was also a crypto bro and that his support of crypto proves it's bad somehow.

When in reality....if you actually read his manifesto and internet forum and social media posts some actual investigative reporters were able to dig up on the guy- it all shows this psycho;

(a) hated and railed against Fox News constantly
(b) never mentions Tucker Carlson once or lists him as an influence anywhere
(c) trashes conservatism- saying things like thanks god conservatism is dead- conservatives care about nothing but profit and are the enemy and traitors
(d) trashes crypto currency and NFT's and calls them nothing but frauds and scams
(e) dude was constantly wearing wolfsangel and nazi black sun insignia - you know- the same symbols and insignia worn by those awesome great friendly peaceful swell guys from Ukraine who are totally not nazis and are our buddies and whom we've spent shitloads of money arming and training- the Azov's

Just really sad awful tragedy pray for the families that were ruined forever. Hope they give this son of a bitch the death penalty and it's just a god damn shame the media is trying to spin a narrative on this rather than get to the actual truth of the matter- but that's just par for the course with those f**king scumbags who do nothing but try to continue to divide and ruin this country.

About a decade ago after an incel shooter incident, I talked to a someone I’m friendly with who is a psychologist about the motivations. Her read was basically, if a person is that kind of unstable, that gets poured into the shape of ideology rather than being shaped by ideology.

We do live in interesting times on that front. We oft simmer in the ideas of many, many great dangers in the world. We portray various “others” as something that must be both feared and stopped. We lovingly talk about acts of taking up arms and ending lives, sometimes even casting those who do so recklessly as heroes.

And it seems the truth is, unfettered, we just like doing it. We like living in this scared and divisive world, and thus we propagate it. I don’t blame it on one side, but we live in a world where each side would be doing what the other is now, were the facts reversed.

I respect you but I dont buy that.  There are builders and there are takers in this world.  That's the two paths to success.  One can't exist without the other, but the other would do fine all by itself.

Its the same in politics.  Liberalism can't exist without the proceeds from conservative practices.  It's that simple. Conservative practice builds.  There is nothing wrong with sharing that when it matures, but there is something wrong with taking it. 

What we're witnessing now is akin to a sinking ship, and only the officer corps and the rats know that to be the case, and they're grabbing whatever they can and the fact it's at the expense of the crew doesn't even play into that decision.

Which part of what I wrote do you not buy that leads to what you wrote? I’m not really seeing the connection.

(Oh, are you talking about the other side part at the end? That’s more in reference to narrative building. I.e. if the shooter had different views, they folks saying “he’s not one of ours” would likely be saying “he’s definitely one of yours”)

That part.


Builders work in the environment they're thrust and figure it out.  Takers are the ones that complicate the environment and other than good healthy competition are always the source of angst. 

There is a clear way out of the woods, but there is somebody set to ambush that mechanism and extort it every single time.  From a micro to a macro vantage, this is always the case.  And.... takers are why people are in the proverbial woods to begin with. 

The profession of shrinks is an example.  They devise disorders out of thin air and then set forth to treat them.  Another: when is the last time you heard a doctor prescribe lettuce and fresh produce to a patient?  You'll see drugs prescribed constantly that have to be secured from a source. 

When I was a kid it was evident the places not to do business- stay away from used car lots with weekly payment schedules... stay away from rent to own... stay away from the corner boys... today? Mainstream industry is on the take.  It's too easy.  It's a cycle and we're on the slide right now- we got too big and bloated and instead of struggling to survive we had excess ... and became a target... and entertained BS mental gymnastics described conditions as fact. 

There are two sexes, and there is a third however excruciatingly rare it is.  That is science.  How it's perceived doesn't matter- and in a world based on logic I don't have to play along with someone else's warped sense of reality.  In the logical world, you sense intrinsically right and wrong- yet now the law is so far apart from right and wrong its a different subject.... to some... others are happy to exploit it. 

And that comes all the way back to "builders and takers". 

Yeah, that was a bit cryptic but it intentionally covers a lot of ground quickly.
