Itt: people who missed the joke

I can taste how much butter you put in the dough

Stage right

That is a sweet stick though

Yeah – I agree but that all feels better explained by the 300 year empire rule or decadence of empire stuff than what are humans made for questions, but I see the connection.

It was talking about what we were made to do. We’ve been around for 200k years and had agriculture for 10k years so that’s what I was going on.

Yeah we’re supposed to never leave our village for our 40 year lifespan, fear this that go against our myths and tradition and violently castigate those we deem different enough for us.

Or maybe civilization itself was too much and we should live in even smaller groups with our numbers limited by no agriculture.

Why do we hate Netflix and abundant food?

Oh no it actually goes both ways. I was here yesterday. Yeah

Get these mother fucking money lenders out my mother fucking temple.

OK well you’re clearly understanding me and choosing to faux miss the point anyway then.

OK… but it literally is ‘games’ that you play for money. The law governing gambling is referred to as Gaming Law - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_law

All gambling games also meet the definition for ‘games’, which is likely why they also use that term.

Game: a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck.

Some people enjoy the extra risk/reward added to games and can do it responsibly.

Go witchhunt all the gambling adverts to kids but let me play blackjack sometimes.

for fun? It’s just gaming for money if you think about it.

Yeah but I can’t direct my hate at an individual as easy when it’s hot outside

I can totally see homeschooling as an alternative to the failings of the US school system, but I don’t think you can recreate the variety in a public school setting where everybody from the community is there. It’s not a want to thing it’s a can’t thing – I’m not sure you can have the scope of awareness yourself to expose your kid to everything to properly prepare them.

I have ADHD too and was only diagnosed in my 30s, so I feel for you and your kids – Make sure they know it can be part of their superpower too ;)

for homeschoolers

I suppose if the kids in a community being homeschooled are representative of the rest of the kids, sure, but I doubt that’s happening, though I don’t know.

I am glad I went to public school after starting at private school because of all of the exposure to ‘the real world’ and all the kinds of people in it.

But Museums aren’t what school prepares kids for once they’re adults. It’s the conflict with lots of other kinds of people and learning how to navigate that in my opinion.

Raising your kids is ultimately about preparing them to be full productive adults that can seek fulfillment and provide a net good to the world once they’re adults.

I don’t see any way you could create a microcosm in your home (any home) and meet that goal or not severely hamper your kid from meeting that goal.

Yeah it makes sense why evangelicals exist. It’s just odd we let them pretend it’s all real in public without mocking them. That one guy they let have a whole country filled with Rome’s stolen gold and marble!

You should become evangelical equally around some weird Christian sect like Marcionism, who believe since God is eternal and OT god was so mean and NT god is so nice, they must be different gods!

yeah but if I really thought there was a skyman judger watching everyone and potentially dooming them to eternal hell, I’d tell them about it too. It’s kind of shitty not to, though it is really obnoxious for us non sky-judge believers.
