ForgetPrimacy

I assumed this one was satire, is that a real tweet?

Treatment is more profitable than cure

As a recovering Calvinist... oof

As an undiagnosed autistic raised in a conservative christian (Calvinist) home, it took me a long time to realize my depression wasn't because I was bad but instead because God quite simply hates me / gets off on my pain.

What? This madness could never occur in this democratic divinity!

Quick reviews of a couple:

• Grow Spaceship VIP Played this one for probably an hour. The ads aren't necessary for gameplay but all the upgrades cost various gems/rubies/gold/etc and every mission you complete has the option to watch an ad to double the reward. Also, there are a bunch of typos throughout the game I saw so far. The gameplay is also kind of lame, it's kind of a bullet-hell but the only bullets are yours. Some few of the baddies that appear need to be destroyed before they move off-screen or move below you and hit the thing you defend but nearly all of the baddies are just moving around on the screen for a minute before drifting away with no consequence other than you didn't get a few coins for killing them.

• Sky Wings VIP: Pixel Fighters Played only long enough to confirm it was the same game economy. Play missions and watch ads to double the currency you get to spend on upgrades. The gameplay was a bit more involved, needing to move around the screen to pick up the coins and also to avoid return fire. But meh

• Rogue Hearts Kind of neat. Looks like a dungeon crawl + city development game basically. The city sends you on missions and you wander through the dungeon (which might be procedurally generated) in a pretty well transitioned blend of real-time exploring and turn based fighting. I think this game would be fun but I don't know if I'll come back to it and give it a chance. Oh, point in it's favor: no ads ~~or micro transactions~~ that I saw in the few minutes I played EDIT: looks like there are rubies which are bought with real currency, ah well

A lot of those links are leading to Epic Freebie Games Radar but I was able to look them up and I downloaded a couple.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE NEWS ALERT I'm uneasy, Patriot. This is Speaker Mike Johnson, and I just had to send this email. I've been thinking about the state of our country, and I cannot conclude anything other than America is hanging on by a thread. Our culture has fallen so far since the founding of our country, and it's just getting worse. I fear America may be beyond redemption. DOES AMERICA NEED MORE GOD? RESPOND NOW a Just consider the frightening drop in church attendance over the past several decades. 1 in 4 high school students identifies as something other than straight- what are they being taught in school? God is mocked openly in the public square. And you don't even want to see the filth that passes for popular culture these days. Let's face it- we live in a depraved culture. I didn't want to believe it at first, but I fear God may allow our nation to enter into a time of judgment for our collective sins. The only question is, is He going to give us one more chance to restore our foundations and return to Him? < DOES AMERICA NEED MORE GOD? RESPOND NOW I hope so, but we are teetering close to the edge. I need to know Patriot. Does America need more God? Will you respond to this urgent question as soon as possible? America needs to recognize that we have much to repent for if we want to avoid the judgment we so clearly deserve, but that starts with returning America to God's good graces once again. Will you do me a favor and answer this one question for me, Patriot? Does America need more God? DOES AMERICA NEED MORE GOD? RESPOND NOW Thank you, and God Bless, Speaker Mike Johnson

Since turning 30 I've been thinking about the half-your-age-plus-seven rule a lot more. It would feel creepy as fuck to date a 22 year old. Is this all in my head? It feels predatory to swipe right on anyone younger than 25

If I'm understanding the context of the comments here correctly (recovering conservative here, I never learned history) while slaves were technically "freed", or at least defined as not-slaves, in 1886 they were in a sort of Jim Crow situation until Castro came along. Is that right?

Hang on, maybe I'm just particularly out-of-the-loop but; how long has the third book had a name?

Is there any "recent" (coupla years) news on the expected conclusion of this story??

EDIT: Cute kitty by the way OP!

(source for what I'm about to say: I vaguely remember basically a couple headlines)

I remember reading a statement from Lewinsky regarding that allegation. Something along the lines of her agreeing that, while she had for many years defended him and declared to anyone asking that their involvement was purely consensual, she didn't really have the power to consent. I believe it was referenced how the enlightenment of the recent Me Too revelations had influenced her evolving understanding.
