Pastor Dave Barnhart

“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It’s almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

They’ll probably charge you for it.

Was going to post this if someone hadn’t.

If only the legal system would also fine companies many times their earning potential for their infractions.

Well he is going to help stem the red wave so I don’t know how this is actually an insult…

If your computer uses the camera for ambient light sensing instead of a separate sensor, they definitely fucked up building it.

The malicious compliance that is needed.

There’s an entire code block for hieroglyphs in Unicode. https://symbl.cc/en/unicode/blocks/egyptian-hieroglyphs/

Amusingly penis features in a few of them. https://symbl.cc/en/130B8/

“Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.”

I mean, it tracks. He’s not a fetus so they don’t give a shit.

But keeping them unironed and non-“straight” seems pretty on brand.

ISO8601 gang

But what’s the ratio of people finding out more because they liked what they heard vs the ones horrified about it?

It’s hilarious when the identified problems come back around to bite the organization, when the priorities have been to work on poorly specc’d features instead.

The winner of the 1904 marathon was given rat poison. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletics_at_the_1904_Summer_Olympics_–_men%27s_marathon

Entire story is wild.

For podcast people the dollop also did an episode on this olympics. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KFLjcX163WI

“Fun” fact: chainsaws (not a forestry chainsaw, think more of those portable survival chain saws) were invented by an obstetrician to more quickly separate the pelvis for difficult childbirth.

Also consider: electricity, germ theory and anaesthetics were not developed at this point.

Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?

Edit: since no one is biting here’s the full joke

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I'll tell you a TCP joke."
"Ok, I will hear a TCP joke."
"Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline."
"Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline."
"I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

Yes then with their superior work ethic and bootstraps they could earn it back again. It’s like an infinite money glitch for humanity.

I guess there’s not enough water to use a float unless you’re in a bathtub.

Reminds me of the Douglas Adam’s bit

[Ford said] ".. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford. "It is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they voted in more or less approximates to the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards?" "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going in for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in.

Let them eat cake drink water.

Edit: Fixed typo

If you’re not joking, it’s the widget. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_(beer)

Cecilia Westbrook, an MD/PhD student at the University of Wisconsin, and her friends wondered why there are so many semen-based recipes and nothing on Google about cooking with vaginal juices.

Wut

Well… their religion has a virgin birth so maybe that’s where their confusion comes from.

The cringey old university photo is more amusing.

The highest honour an internet stranger can bestow.

Young boys especially, but young girls too are probably a little touchy for them to use. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_sexual_abuse_cases

Probably required that much ram to feed to windows.

I’m sure the satanic temple could work out a solution here.

The shitty reboot of Office Space where some low level Google employee realizes they can stick a crypto miner in every browser and generate a couple cents from everyone’s browser.

Probably only the underaged women that they’ve groomed and gotten pregnant.

ALL ORGIES ALL THE TIME

Yeah he did get too close, and also I don’t think he’d want us taking out wildlife because it happened.
