Ooooooh. My bad. I wasn’t trying to be topical.

Edit: I’m mixing it up. Gosh darn it.
It’s being weird for me. Let me just edit:
The Xeelee Sequence, don’t get it confused with All Tomorrows.
Edit: woops, wrong book. What book was it?
I tried to find a news story about a Florida man being eaten by an alligator, which was later served, but I couldn’t find anything.
Like a certain alien species from The Xeelee Sequence?
Edit: woops wrong series. Does anyone know another series with an advanced alien civilization that sends themselves back in time to give birth to themselves? It’s right before the heat death of the universe due to another alien species that lives in stars.

They were most likely built differently depending on the current Egyptian civilizations’ take on man power/ economy.

He’s made so many incoherent open threats, he now sounds like someone who’s drunk who’s about to lose a fight.

I’m talking about per population. Of course if there’s more people there’s more crime.
Not to defend Texas, but Alaska has waaaaaay more crime. At least if we’re talking about violent crimes. I wanted to move there once, but I decided against that based mostly on that factor. Approximately 8 in every 1000 people will commit a violent crime in Alaska. For reference, Texas is about 5.
I can’t get the Dewalt radio meme out of my head when I see his face now.
Xanthrax@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Far-Right ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Flag Seen at Jan. 6 Riot Flown Above Government Agency in DC12·19 days agoI’m down, but it would require reintegration into the shit stain that is organized religion. This is also coming from an ex minister. Once you’re behind that pulpit, your words are law. Getting into that place where a large congregation would actually listen to you would most likely require some moral compromises.
Are you queer? You are irrelevant.
Are you not white? You are irrelevant.
Are you sexualy active? You are irrelevant.
Are you pregnant? You are irrelevant.
Are you compassionate? You are irrelevant.
Your job is to interpret the Bible in a way that people enjoy. You reinforce their ideals. I have no idea how to pull everyone I knew into a 180°.
How do you propose we change these brainwashed peoples’ minds? If you have legitimate theory, I’m listening. All I can think of is showing up to church and talking to people, but it SUCKS there.
One example:
“ABORTION IS MURDER”
“It can’t think yet”
“IT HAS A SOUL”
How do I respond to that? What can I possibly tell a person that’s that nieve that they’re being sexist?
I witnessed people use their time to speak against the church while they were on stage. They get pulled off and disappeared (not killed, blacklisted). A lot of the people there are dependent on the church, so they can’t speak up. So even if you have the stage, you maybe have 5 minutes. Change the world. Go for it. This is coming from the experience of an ex minister at the Salvation Army.
