SMAC had some deep themes which would have been better in literally any other medium because I don't think a lot of people realized just how dark that game was.

The weird Objectivist/Dark Enlightenment/Transhumanist thing is honestly the most evil modern ideology that exists, and a lot of techbros just eat that poo poo up. It's like you shove the tedious John Galt speech right into Shadowrun and think "yeah this is ethical."

Also near my hometown a robber knight was captured but escaped when he offered to jump over the castle moat with his horse and subsequently actually did manage to pull it off.

I'm gonna say the robber knight was totally justified in his escape entirely on the principle of it being cool as heck.

nah they’re consistent; they hate women so they don’t believe it, and they hate the pope so they believe that

btw i’m hanging out with my mom and can’t effortpost but when i can i’m gonna explain what i think is similar and different about calvinism and jodo shinshu and the social/political impact each has, with the admission i don’t know much about calvinism beyond sinners in the hands of an angry god

re:child brides in america

lmao buckle the gently caress up

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/married-young-the-fight-over-child-marriage-in-america/


quote:

Between 2000 and 2015, these laws made it possible for more than 200,000 minors to marry legally, according to a FRONTLINE analysis of marriage records from 41 states and the largest counties in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. Data was unavailable for California, Georgia, Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.

Almost 90 percent of minors who married were girls. Most of them were 16 or 17 years old. In rare instances, however, children as young as 12 years old were granted marriage licenses in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina.

Only a fraction of these marriages involved two minors. Most of the time, a minor’s spouse was 18, 19 or in his early 20s. Nearly 500 minors were permitted to marry partners in their 40s, 50s and even over 60.

generally why i’ve grown distrustful of right wing hand wringing on catholic sex abuse. it seems less like genuine concern and more like an expedient means to know nothing style anti-catholic rhetoric in a way that catholic republicans can’t really oppose without siding with child molestation (unless they pull a roy moore and say it was a deep state conspiracy except for the one guy francis the communist supposedly ignored, that one is real)

eh, I know of Calvinists that have arranged marriages but ehh a ten year age gap is when dads draw the line, much less a 50 year one, which is when the suitor gets a shotgun pointed in his face.

I'm out. I've deleted all my social media accounts, and this will be the last one.

The Seven Sorrows do not gently caress around. I cried the first time I attended Mass seeing Christ up on the cross, which I guess would be an embarrassing thing to happen to an ex-Calvinist. That went away after a few Sunday Masses. And then I started up with the Servite Rosary two years later and the tears immediately came back when I attended Mass. I'm a weird data scientist STEMlord, I have no idea what's going on with that.

Just be good. Don't let other people get to you. Take the locus of control and put it inside yourself whenever you hear something that aggrieves you and then partake in the healing sacraments of your church. It takes a lot of effort for a person to be both their statue and their sculptor, but we have a little trick in the fact that grace abounds.
