It’s so sad that red states create these policies just to undermine their own population. All this will do is create brain drain. If you’re a bus driver or teacher in Kentucky you can make way more money in blue states. Why stay? I know you love your community, but they don’t love you.
I believe they gave a consulting firm $200k to come up with the plan that failed. They tried to get away with fewer busses and drivers because they didn’t raise wages enough.
They literally tried everything except paying drivers what they need. Now they’re fucked.
Bullshit. I’m in a blue state and there are so few drivers that the busses alternate routes weekly… Every other week there’s no bus for a route. Parents are stuck driving their kids to school and picking them up.
Matthew 7:15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
John 8:44You are of your father, the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
1 John 4:1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Matthew 24:1-51Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray….
Luke 21:8And he said, “See that you are not led astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them.
Matthew 7:13-14Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Romans 16:18For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive
2 Corinthians 11:14And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
1 John 2:19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
I made this comment somewhere else earlier… the only time I ever heard about it was from my physical therapist that I saw for a couple weeks
she was like “you see all those ads and previews for the barbie movie that’s coming out?” “No. I don’t usually see any ads or anything and I haven’t seen a movie preview in… years”
Also didn’t notice any “organic” posts about it on reddit (where I was at the time) or here (I joined at the start of the blackouts). only since opening weekend did I start seeing posts here about oppen/barbie
Don’t wanna pull the “are you living under a rock?”-card but I’ve seen tons of promotional material about it. I read about it when production started he took note because of the director and cast, then nothing for a while but in the months and weeks leading up to the release I saw an increasing amount of ads and press.
As reported by Variety, the marketing budget allocated to Barbie was a staggering $150 million
Allowing the government to control online speech will create a world no kid should have to grow up into. At some point you have to ask yourself if you're protecting anyone.
“I never thought the leopard would eat MY face.” These people got in bed with quite possibly the most godless person on Earth, Trump is very likely one of the first true Atheist Presidents we’ve ever had. He’s probably paid multiple women for sex and abortions, cheated on all of his wives, lies on a constant and regular basis, and is just generally a shitty person on every level. This is the person they hitched their wagon to to get Roe v Wade overturned. I sure as hell hope it blows up in their face.
I think it already is blowing up in their face, and agree fully with your sentiment. While atheists dont depend on religion to define their morals, they get the opportunity to self-define their morals. A narcissistic egotisticial born-with-a-silver-spoon person like Trump is a wolf in sheep’s clothing parading as one of them. He decays or corrupts everything he touches, and the GOP and evangelical Christians have been rubbing all up on him for 7 years. Both groups are in crisis these days.
The GOP has no true platform beyond revenge politics, and the churches are bleeding congregation members… people leaving either because they aren’t on board the crazy train of their church peers or leave because they’ve allowed their beliefs and morals to twist out of whack in conflict of scripture.
All that immoral behavior you mentioned reads much more like the behavior of an outspoken conservative Christian rather than an atheist. You know, all the “rules for thee but not for me” type stuff.
It may be true that neither of them really believe deep down, but only one is using it to look good while being shitty.
Just a note… whether he is atheist or follows a religion isn’t actually related to his garbage character.
I get it… I know some religious people mistakenly think that morals come from religion. So it’s interesting they pick someone who doesn’t even put on a show of practicing their religion.
Of course, as the rest of us know, any amount of observation in life will show that there are both decent and despicable people in both religious and non-religious camps.
But, yeah it is painfully ironic that religious people hitched their wagon to that lying, adulterous, greedy, gluttonous, (etc) slime bag.
Sorry, can you explain how doing something mildly irritating to such an incredible asshole makes one a horrible person? I think the judge and the defendant he let off with a slap on the wrist are the horrible people in this story. Do you not?
I do not know the whole story, and probably you don’t either. Maybe they are shitty people. Or maybe this kid was doing something dumb (and unauthorized), hence the light penalty. Regardless, combatting horrible people by being horrible people is a piss poor response. A threat to shit on personal property is juvenile, at best.
