Yeah, I’ve never seen or heard that either. I’m sure there our plenty of dialects where those two words sounds similar or identical.

that affirm your position.

I’m looking for news that affirms reality. Trump’s public record words and actions already left no doubt that he’s molested children. This writer’s credible but unsourced account is just to remind people that trump has molested children, something that most people realize from trump’s words, actions, associates attitude.

When something looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, hangs out with ducks, eats bread at the park, and admits in public and private to being a duck - it’s unreasonable to argue that we can’t assume it’s a duck.

Twitter is run by a russian influence actor. Facebook has been hosting russian influence operation content for what a decade now? Fox gleefully pushes that stuff. There’s a host of grifters and alt-right entry-point content online that’s lousy with it.

It’s crazy how much of our media space has been seized by brutal foreign oligarchs. I feel like it wouldn’t have been this easy for them if we hadn’t spent decades letting brutal domestic oligarchs take almost all our media space.

Why would you peel a carrot?

Take Trump out of it for a second

But then it becomes a completely different scenario.

Trump has repeatedly admitted to molesting women, he’s bragged about forcing his way into women’s locker rooms, he joked openly and without judgement of epstein’s love of kids, he has scores of sexual assault allegations, he has enough money and clout to cover up his rapes and he’s been convicted of illegally covering up legal but embarrassing sexual encounters.

Trump has definitely molested children, it is a fact. It’s literally beyond a shadow of a doubt.

“Edomite!”

I was getting onto a bus, someone looked me over and spat out the word. It was clear from the tone that it was an insult, but it also sounded suspiciously bronze age, so I was very excited to find out what it meant.

Turns out it’s a biblical reference used by some black nationalist groups in the US to refer to white people as unclean or diseased. Edom was one of several late bronze age Canaanite kingdoms. At one point the torah describes them as slightly paler and dirty, hence the insult.

You know I almost didn’t post, thinking about that exact point?

But at least two of them are holding weight on them - rightmost of the front pack and leftmost of the mid pack. Also I’m guessing that they’d still need more robust arms than that just for lifting and carrying in high G, right?

I really love seeing a well curated list, and that’s a well curated list.

It is interesting to see how different acceptable public behavior is now.

I presume that anyone following politics knows that can’t hurt trump, at least.

Ah, I think I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that young meant young but still of legal age.

Legal. Probably why they used that term.

I doubt it.

There’s no point mentioning it at all if the topless women were obviously legal, but plenty of reasons to be unclear if they were obviously underage.

Mentioning epstein and “young” women very clearly implies underage, without opening the door to defamation.

Trump has definitely molested children. He’s a serial rapist whose hang-out buddies are some of the world’s most prominent pedophiles.

Even if trump wasn’t specifically asking for children, there’s no way he’s checking IDs before he sexually assaults victims of trafficking.

Since long legs would be impossible

Luckily those long slim arms are completely unaffected by that same gravity.

CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations … servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.

Incredible that someone could believe that, say it with a straight face and still not be gullible enough to support trump.

The soup is a metaphor for bringing back a poet from the dead. Pretty obvious, right?

For some reason Dionysus is being coy about what he wants - I’d guess either for some cultural reasons, or just as a premise to set up some jokes about being hungry and horny.

This is from Aristophanes’ Frogs, written and performed as the plague ravaged citizens of Athens hunkered behind their walls with Spartans terrorizing the Attic countryside.

So to help, Dionysus goes to hell to bring back a good poet to cheer people up. Because imagine trying to get through 2020 without TV.

There’s a great line describing Aeschylus’ sentences as great galumphing things with adjectives hanging off them like monstrous shaggy eyebrows.

It’s not a question of “look[ing] like distancing or lack of empathy”, or just “bitching about people in power”.

Scientific studies that look at your brain itself - not your behavior - show that as people get more power the brain’s empathy centers become suppressed and you are chemically less capable of being a good person.

Exactly. Trump doesn’t have any policy goals, he couldn’t care about any of that.

Trump’s only wants are his base emotional needs: eat a hamburder, grope an unwilling child, be complimented, see others suffer. Anything more sophisticated than that is being done for someone who’s giving him burders, babes or bribes.
