Dude is having blackouts and needs help.

Yeah, like who hasn't ended up in a Waffle House with no idea how they got there?
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 151d
I wasn't complaining, just surprised.

Or would even know? Or would remember that it happened?

Does he know about ambien ? Maybe it's ambien. Or lunesta.

combined with alcohol or grapefruits.

the reality/space distortion substance known as alcohol and drugs.

I've teleported twice in my life. However since I'm a functioning adult these days, allow me to condense the relevant finding of those experiences for you:
Don't mix drugs and alcohol.

"Haters gonna hate," says hateful member of the most hateful administration since Jefferson Davis.

The longer I'm an adult the more terrifying it is to realize how many people there are in positions of power over people who are either complete morons or straight up mentally ill.

GOOD point.

I have a teleporter too.

No. That's a time machine powered by anger.

I've teleported too, a few times in the past - it can be a bit confusing, like blam you're suddenly somewhere else. Then I've recalled the heinous quantities of booze and drugs I've consumed that day and kinda shrugged.

I hope that Waffle House was open, per the Waffle House Index.

TIL Donald Trump put Cecil Stedman in charge of FEMA while I wasn't looking.
FerretyFever0@fedia.io · 4 pts · 151d
Didn't realize Cecil loved Waffle House so much.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 151d
He wasn't there to eat; he was there to assess the devastation after a fight.
FerretyFever0@fedia.io · 2 pts · 151d
Por que no los dos?
nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 150d
That would never happen because Cecil is (usually) competent.

Can you be a racist and a Christian at the same time?
How does that work...
Etterra@discuss.online · 5 pts · 150d
It's been working as described for over 2,000 years.

It’s kinda their default? I dunno what you mean, it’s a big part of their belief system
1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 150d
I just mean that Christianity says that all humans are equal in front of God, right? And then you also have massive racism that doesnt come from the Bible, right?
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 148d
Oh boy, have you read the bible? Cause there is a ton of racism in there, both old and New Testament, even if you take the Bible and Christianity at face value, it’s a religion based on “us vs them” mentality, and racist at its core. Remember this religion was founded at a time of external invasion, increased immigration and “globalization” in the ancient world, it had racist dog whistles all over
1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 148d
No, havent read any of it. Never wanted to... Im not the kind of guy who follows organized religion. But I do think there is a higher meaning to our lives here. Cant prove it, but I dont need to. :) Just a personal feeling.
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 148d
I think that’s just human hubris. Why are we here for a reason? Why are we important, we aren’t. It’s just something humans tell themselves to feel not so small. Religion is just humans ways yo comfort themselves over things they don’t understand
1984@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 148d
I think we are very important, and I dont feel small. I think the view that we are small and unimportant comes from science. Its all they keep saying when they talk about space. How insignificant humans are.
You are just having the same opinion, because it comes from there.
But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 148d
Well because that “view” is factually real and undeniable and can be checked and proven.
The idea that we are important is based on nothing, not a thing.

Midterms are going to be interesting.
