  • Ah, ok

  • But my question is, what are they doing there? Who built them and for what purpose? I'm assuming this is in Iran. Those don't look like ruins, Baal was never worshiped in Iran to my knowledge, that Obelisk is decorated with hieroglyphs which aren't Iranian.

  • Why did they have an obelisk and a statue of Baal?

  • i work at the sex meme store

  • where do people work that this needs to be labeled nsfw

  • Remember after the debate when Biden was being obstinate about dropping out and he made appearances wearing a lot of bronzer and it looked like he was turning into Trump? And now Trump is turning into Biden. It's like...IDK like Bergman's Persona or Villeneuve's Enemy or something.

  • It's completely insane to me that the Israelis actually released the video of Sinwar's death, along with a bunch of details that confirmed that he died fighting until his last breath on the front lines. Do they not understand how that looks?

  • Damn really? Very disappointing from the Penis Man

  • Not that I'm trying to criticize this post or endorse an /r/atheism worldview, but I have to say that this site is in an ironic position as a bunch of avowed leftists, with a ton of us being some flavor of ML, and being against atheism. Marxism is traditionally atheist, ML states have often been officially atheist, because religion is opposed to a materialist worldview.

    It's always seemed to me that a lot of the the new/reddit atheist types were people who grew up in right wing Evangelical households and environment and broke out of it. They have a very understandable and correct hatred for that shit, but too many of them never really broke out of the pattern of thought they were taught. They kept the dogmatic, black-and-white worldview complete with smug superiority, just with a new dogma. Anecdotally I would sometimes argue with them against Jesus Mythicism and it was like banging my head against a wall. (Like, motherfucker I don't believe in the miracles or god shit either, but every piece of historical evidence points to there having been a dude who led a minor religious movement in Judea and got crucified by the authorities. Why is that so hard to admit? No one is asking you to believe anything else!)

    But even so, I'm still pretty much an atheist even if I share your distaste for that word and the people who usually self-apply it, because what the hell else am I supposed to be? What, you want me to be Christian? I'm not doing that shit.

  • You think he only has one grind?

  • I doubt it for the simple reason that there hasn't been any substantial organizing on this site.

  • I'm stupid

  • He is doing business. He has success mindset.

  • We're really just never going to see Typhlosian again because of some leaked document?

    I'm going to be honest, I liked those stories from the documents. They felt like real myths and legends in the pokèmon world. So what if they were weird and fucked up? So is real mythology.

  • That seems a little harsh

  • Imagine a being a normie reading this sign

  • Team America makes more sense when you understand that it was just supposed to be a parody of Jerry Bruckheimer movies. The reason the political satire has this very muddled view of "Bush era American military interventions are bad but also good but maybe kinda bad unless not" is because that's not the main thing it's making fun of.

    Edit: That wasn't a defense of the movie to be clear, and I think Team America fails because it can't commit to making a point. It invites you to laugh at how crass and stupid the whole post-9/11 Bush era American ethos was, but it mostly seems to agree with the underlying premises that birthed that ethos, except sometimes when it doesn't. If the South Park guys wanted it to be just a movie parody then it shouldn't have any political satire at all, but it does, so it winds up as a satire that doesn't say anything. A movie like Airplane is much more successful as a movie parody because there's virtually no political content in it.
