Dan McClellen actually released a video today regarding this specific matter. ( on YouTube )

Monotheism (as opposed to monolatrism) is a much more recent thing than the scripture itself, an invention of the middle ages at earliest.

I'm in my fifties, still dealing with major depression and suicidality on a daily basis. I get it. I, too, am not a danger to myself or others, although I've sometimes held on only by a thread.

According to Dan McClellen, Genesis 2 is a retelling of Genesis 1 revised according to the sensibilities of a later century, according to scholarly consensus. Of course, also according to scholarly consensus (and revealed to students in seminary) the bible is not univocal, not divinely inspired and not inerrant, even though many denominations assert these by fiat. (Otherwise they wouldn't give ministries authority to tell their flock not to be gay.)

Monkey Paw!

What's frightening to me is our semi-autonomous drones and robots, including police attack bots.

I was going to guess Battlecars art.

Battlecars was GWs competitor to Steve Jackson's Car Wars

And this is why the longshoremen have to strike when it hurts everyone.

Yeah. My parents, teachers, ministers, police officers, etc were glad to blame Dungeons and Dragons for my major depression and suicidality in the 1980s, because none of them wanted to look at systemic social problems that are even worse today.

So if those kids are genuinely suicidal, that means the home is not a place where they feel safe. That implies parental dysfunction.

Remember we also were quick to blame vaccines for ASD because it was too hard on parents to suggest childhood upbringing factors.

Astrology was so important to the Greeks, they figured out the elliptical orbits of the planets (up to Jupiter) and how to compute them without calculus.

In my case, my fractional hip-to-waist ratio.

Also my mole-ridden skin. No one wants to see that.

However, every Mormon family I've know were experienced, skilled family-game sharks.

Well, yeah, but I wouldn't trust NYT news as trustworty without confirmation from other sources. I'd say the integrity of the rag has been compromised, but I don't actually know if it ever was integral even in the Raymond and Jones days.

As a general policy I reject FOX News spin.

At least two beers each in front of each other.

A giant hampster bottle of water will extend the time to weeks instead of days.

NYT editorials have leaned far right for a long while now. They're FOX News with a longer, more bluechip reputation.

Do not use NYT as a reliable source. Do not trust NYT readers who do.

Much like the twenty minutes of unskippable ads on commercial DVDs, the media companies and social media will enshittify until the general public turns to piracy.

Essentially, the sooner we all come to terms with piracy being acceptable necessary, the sooner they let off on their enshittification efforts.

Can the doxxing tech be used to ID law enforcement officers? A lot of them are assholes and bullies knowing their IDs will [be] protected by state and corporate interests.

And police in the US are more than eager to use facial recognition and ALPR services to bypass our fourth amendment protections.
