  • IIRC, the religion didn’t get anywhere is Palestine after Jesus supposedly died and it wasn’t until decades later that it picked up in and around Greece thanks to Paul, but no one was around that saw any of the events attributed to Jesus - it was all heresay.

    I mean the bible is how many pages and how much of it actually takes place during Jesus’s life? And what is the timespan of the small part that does? Like a year? And the 4 gospels that talk about it are all rehashings of the same stories (more or less) and even contradict each other at times.

    That’s a story with a lot of gaps and plot holes to base a belief system around - and that doesn’t even include all the baggage and hate that comes along with it.

    People nowadays lose their mind and make death threats to the creators of stories that don’t fix or create new plot holes in canon. And we’re supposed to smile, nod, and happily accept one of the worst constructed stories ever just because some old white men that live the opposite way they tell us to live say so?










  • There’s a hallmark/lifetime movie about this. The bank isn’t WF but we all know who it is.

    After his corporate rah-rah and disbelief his bank full of good ethical people would do such a thing, at the behest of the main character he finds out from some marketing chuds it is in fact true. Believing in the company to do the right thing he goes against the main character’s wishes and tells an exec who expectedly closes the accts of the vocal customers and sweeps it all under the rug - deleting all record.

    The love interest finds out his company doesn’t actually care about their customers when he asks if they are going to do a full company investigation and the exec laughs and instead offers up a potential promotion instead.

    I knew the whole plotline was bullshit when he quit to become a whistleblower. As he gave his first interview on the main character’s tv station, he gave his full name as he did a live interview and didn’t get murdered by the bank immediately.

    Thanks to Boeing we all learned that whistleblower is a far more dangerous profession than police officer and the chance of dying is thousands of percent higher. You really have to suspend disbelief at the movie plot.









  • If you can replace one talented high-wage employee with 3 college hires then do this a couple times statistically you’re still going to retain some talented employees because not all can leave. Those that remain will train the others ou of necessity either directly by management or indirectly by a fear of missing timelines/ego/being the local expert/etc.

    Management knows this and actively encourages this behavior because by the time the talented employee burns out and self-destructs, at least one trainee will be competent enough to keep things moving.


  • You saying “broaden your sources of information” is you saying “do your own research” otherwise you would have shared sources that say otherwise.

    But you’re not here to argue in good faith you’re here to paint me as combatitive and bow out of the argument acting like you can take some high road but still not bringing anything constructive to the conversation.

    You saying “not worth your time” is you saying “I have no idea and you called me out so now I have to save face”. And the fact that you consider someone replying to you in any way a “fight”? Well you’re gonna have to work on that with someone professional. You aren’t a victim when someone disagrees with you. Toughen up.

    Don’t downplay white supremacists by saying “well it’s only like the meth heads that agree with the cops against minorities” because that is absolutely incorrect. And it makes you sound like you are downplaying white supremecy to not be a big deal since it’s “only the meth heads” and meth heads are bad. The problem is that it’s not just them but also politicians, police, solidiers, your fellow church-goers, your priests/pastors, etc.

    If you are having a rough go of it currently and need someone to talk to, let me know. I’m here, friend.
