it is time for a culling.

I hope you fall asleep on a beach one sunny day then.
You'll have no choice but to purge yourself after you wake up. -

Having a daughter is the most cucked thing you can do.
Looking at this picture makes me think, I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a daughter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 18 years solely so she can go and get ravaged by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime, making her go to sports practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her, playing with her. All of it has one simple result: her body is more enjoyable for the men that will eventually fuck her in every hole. Raised the perfect girl? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way she grew up, who marries her. He gets to fuck her tight pussy every night. He gets the benefits of her kind and sweet personality that came from the way you raised her. As a man who has a daughter, you are dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a girl for another man to enjoy. It is the ultimate cuck. Think about it logically. -

Yes I can operate them via Elink if Alexa is down..theoretically…but chances are if it's not working it's a problem with the Elink anyway and no Alexa…I just blame her because she's my interface.
At some point I'll redo them all with something better.
That actually reminds me of this security camera I bought once that stopped working because the company that manufactures it went out of business or something like that, and the software for it stopped working.
There's a definite trade off with a lot of these devices. They're great when they work, but disasters when they don't. -
2020-10-22 at 8:57 PM UTC in What political ideology do you identify with?
Originally posted by Kev I dont believe in ideology. Any socioeconomic system should revolve around the wellbeing of the people, not the ideology. just one single human individual is an insanely complex creature, let alone millions living together. any popular social system of the day must adapt and be reinterpreted according to the changing situation of the human condition.
the idea that some reductionist philosophy can solve every major problem arising in this complex web of human interaction is utterly retarded, that if only we follow the purity of an ideology closely enough we will have utopia.
all this bullshit started with marx, not only is he the father of the communist utopia but of the libertarian one as well.
reject ideology, kids. embrace reality.
This is kinda shockingly close to how I would explain my position, especially when it comes to main stream party politics.
But the problem that remains is what to actually do to "govern the people"?
If we had no central governing authority, then all that's left is anarcho-capitalism.
People and the free market and so on simply can't be trusted enough for that to work.
There's also supposed to be "anarcho-communism", but making that work seems almost as likely as creating dry water. -
2020-10-22 at 8:51 PM UTC in What political ideology do you identify with?Originally I wasn't going to vote myself, but it's only fair to at least pick the least unfavorable one.
I'm super curious though about which one other people on here think I am.
That would actually be kind of a fun game. Try to guess other users' positions. For some it'd be more obvious. For others, less so, especially if we had even finer grained options to choose from. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson I have these little devices, Sonas or something like that that works via wifi and connect to Alexa…I've chopped it inline to all the devices I want Alexa to turn on and off, fans, lamps, raspberry pis etc…their default state is off…so to turn shit on you have to ask alexa as plugging it in or flicking a wall switch doesn't work.
There IS a little button on the device itself but as 9 out of 10 of the fuckers are behind cupboards or behind the couch etc and what with me being a lazy twat (hence installing the fucking things in the first place) I'll sit in the dark till the bitch comes back online.
ETA: These things, paid like $2.50 each or something like that
Have you ever experimented with other ways of interacting with them in case Alexa isn't working right?
Like, for me, while I do have an Alexa and have some voice commands connected to some of my devices, I also have various other ways to control a lot of them.
Some of these methods are also cloud based (like Alexa), like IFTTT (I have an icon on my cell phone menu to toggle some light switches, for instance).
And, I even have some setups where I control devices programmatically with Python, which don't even leave my local network.
The latter method can be a major pain in the ass though when it comes to extracting any smart device's key data from its firmware and all that. -

I lol'd.
But I don't really see how Alexa can control something without any alternate failsafe.
I have numerous smart bulbs (and other smart devices).
There's always the option to use the actual physical switch or even just yank a power cable from a wall socket or something like that.
And I've never even had to resort to that before even once (so far at least). -

But the granting of indulgences in connection with almsgiving also led to deplorable abuses.
After an indulgence was announced for making a contribution to a certain project, quaestores were sent to collect the related alms. Unfortunately, in many cases the preaching of these quaestores, out of ignorance or shrewdness, went far beyond dogmatic truth; some of them even dared to promise that the damned would be released from hell.
But another aspect of indulgences was connected with almsgiving. Permission began to be granted to Catholic kings and princes, particularly on the occasion of Crusades, to retain for themselves a rather considerable part of the alms collected for the gaining of indulgences. Later on, similar permission was frequently granted for many other projects, and princes were not always too scrupulous. The most well-known and debated question is the indulgence granted for building the new St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
No one can deny the existence of abuses, some very serious. However, it must be acknowledged that ecclesiastical authority tried — perhaps not always with the necessary zeal —to curb evil practices. Unfortunately, only the Council of Trent, after the sad Lutheran schism, suppressed for ever the collecting of money for indulgences. But in 1215 the Fourth Lateran Council had already suppressed some abuses connected with indulgences: in this regard, the extent of the grants was spelled out and it was determined, for example, that only a one-year indulgence would be granted for the consecration of churches and no more than a 40-days indulgence for other occasions. But very soon these limits were widely exceeded. In fact, false documents were circulated with indulgences surpassing all bounds: indulgences of hundreds or even thousands of years.
This shows that abuses became fairly common place for a period.
Apparantly the church eventually started making efforts to curb these abuses, but we at least know that factions within the church have always tried to engage in such acts. -

Originally posted by Meikai Like Pope Leo X sold indulgences fund the rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica. This kind of kicked off the protestant reformation, but in the eyes of the church you can see how contributing money to the reconstruction of such a sacred holy site could be considered an extenuating circumstance that alleviates some aspects of one's sins.
It's not like the Pope was saying "buy me a 20 bag of crack and I'll make sure you're good with god" or something. Hell, it's not even like he was asking for money. He was asking for pledges to the construction of a church, the kind of thing we still see as charitable to this day.
Indulgences got a bad name because filthy protties are disgusting savages with no respect for god or tradition.
I think that what you're talking about isn't the only example of this happening.
And you're kind of overestimating the religious side to Catholicism over the political side.
I liked the part about the "filthy protties" though, lol. -

You have to be happy with who you are,” Francis reportedly told Mr Cruz.In fact, it could be argued that the Catholic Church didn't really rise to power until close to the early middle ages.
Yes, Catholicism existed as early as the first century AD, but as an empire unto itself, the entire span of the middle ages (like 500AD to 1500AD - approx.).
And when I'm referring to "the Church", I'm pretty much talking about it in terms of a political entity and not so much a religion. -

Originally posted by Meikai Yeah, indulgences were corrupted into a monetary transaction at certain points throughout history. It was a just a blip on the radar relative to the ~2000 year lifespan of the church though.
Okay, jeez, maybe I exaggerated a bit when I said "since the dawn of Christianity".
But the middle ages aren't exactly a small blip. -

I think immediately after where your passage left off, he tries to offer his daughters up to the rape gang to take the place of the angels, but the Sodomites have no interest in raping women, just male angels.
They have very particular tastes. -

Originally posted by Billy teh Block Head I just remember the part when they tried to gang fuck some angels
That passage is one of my favorites.
Possibly my favorite bible story of all though is when the two sisters get their dad drunk and rape him so they can get knocked up.And the first-born said unto the younger: 'Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth.
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
And they made their father drink wine that night. And the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the first-born said unto the younger: 'Behold, I lay yesternight with my father. Let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.'
And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose, and lay with him; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. -

You have to be happy with who you are,” Francis reportedly told Mr Cruz.Actually, I found one source that actually does refer to them as "indulgences":
Perhaps the most famous instance of medieval church profiteering was the sale of indulgences, papers which declared absolution from sins even those not yet committed.

I can't find the original source that I learned about this from since it was from a college class I took like 10 years ago. -

Originally posted by MexicanMasterRace How? The Pope isn't rich. Their money is the Vatican's money.
Originally posted by Meikai Indulgences have always been a thing, but they don't/didn't usually involve an exchange of money. When you go to confession and the priest tells you to say 3 "Hail Mary"s, that is also an indulgence (and for the most part, how the idea is intended to be used). I'm pretty sure anyway. >_>
It's not like the Church has, from day one, been in the business of accepting gold for absolution (at least not in such a direct fashion).
I might have used the wrong word... maybe tithes is better?
But they actually did this stuff all the time (money ==> absolution) back around the middle ages as a way of increasing the Catholic church's wealth and therefore power.
The church was essentially a global power force literally bent on world domination.
Nowadays, the church's political power has significantly less reach than it once had. -
