    It’s almost a bad stereotype at this point that people who are obsessed with policing the sex lives of others have sexual issues themselves.

    Stereotype? It's nearly a universal truth at this point. Whatever they campaign against, they are doing. The list of people who are actually truthful and not sex predators, cheaters, bi/gay/CD or watching porn that they advocate banning would be shorter.

    At this point I take every Right Wing accusation as a confession.

    Why did I already know Trump was on the Epstein List? Because his camp accused Biden of being a pedophile.

    If only the Democrats realized this. Sadly they're STILL blindsided by this

    Being that it is presumably a state owned company, they should know if there is a VPN installed on it. If there isn't, the guy would have had to use his ID to access porn sites in Oklahoma. It would be hilarious if someone like pornhub came out and said. On that date at that time he was watching this porn according to our records. We have those records because your state made them mandatory for us to keep.

    "I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’"

    Wow. It's so taboo to talk about the human body that you can't even say "pubic hair"? I am so grateful not to have grown up there and I feel so bad for everybody who did.

    evangelical Christians are so sexually repressed from puritanical beliefs, it drives them into sexual deviancies in some cases.

    Biggest mistakes in human history:

    • Letting the Puritans leave instead of killing them

    • Letting them settle a continent instead of killing them

    • Letting them live after defeating them in a civil war

    • Letting them take over government instead of killing them

    Just gonna point out that the Puritans who settled in the North like those of the Massachusetts Bay colony eventually evolved into churches like that ran by old John Brown. Northern Puritans were often times radical egalitarians who helped lay the groundwork for things like the og labor movements of the 1800s, eventually some even evolved into modern universalist churches.

    I note all of this to say that Southern derived Puritans are little more than slavers under new clothes. It's all to reinforce the Southern derived social order and hierarchy, which is to say if Northern Puritans were subject to their congregation and their god Southern Puritans were subject to the rich and their bigotry.

    Sorry just something that I think needs to be spread about, I ain't even Christian I'm a Heathen but Northern Puritans are distant kin so I feel the need to defend them. Also some of them were based and outright armed union militia which is just fucken great.

    It's more the evangelicals, not the puritans. Evangelizing / forcing their beliefs onto others with no regard to other's wishes is a core evangelical belief.

    The Puritans literally came to the new world to start a theocracy. They weren't seeking freedom from oppressive British rule. They were seeking a place where they could force their extreme views on others.

    Later on, their supporters in England actually took over, killed the king, installed their own leaner (Cromwell), and led England into such a clusterfuck that the English revolted against the Puritans and asked the dead King's son to come back and be King.

    I'm angry too but there MUST be better solutions to these problems than genocide. It's easy to wave your hand and say "make them gone forever" but it's lazy and cruel. If you want it fixed, put the time in. Genocide is for pussies.

  • Ehh..... As someone who currently lives here, things got a lot worse after trump and covid. I would say more than half the population here are bigots and proud to lack any kind of empathy towards anyone who isn't exactly like them.

    Also, the state isn't really gerrymandered. It's just that the only two slightly progressive areas are OKC and Tulsa, and even they don't usually vote blue for statewide or federal elections. Oklahoma is securely the most conservative state in the union. Imo people here are just shittier than anywhere else I've lived, and I grew up moving to a new state every 3 years.

    I mean the state idolizes Sooners, which were basically white people stealing from each other so they could steal as much native land as possible. The culture here is just based on being proud, being an asshole, and taking pride in how much of an asshole you are.

    Co-worker of mine thought it was a real big "get" to call MSNBC "MSLSD". I think he about blew a gasket when I told him I wasn't all that interested in corporate/conservative news outlets like "MSLSD", either.

    It genuinely bothered him that I didn't give a rat's ass about trying to defend MSNBC and that I didn't get outraged by his constant parroting of something he picked up from Bullshit Mountain. Same went for him calling Rachel Maddow "Madcow". It's funny to watch how much these people calling everyone else "snowflakes" have meltdowns when others don't play the game they imagined was going to happen...we don't tend to be in a cult like these gomers.

    So yeah, this douchenozzle calling a paper reporting embarrassing news about him "Woklahoman" tracks...

    Considering the political and social leanings of the typical Lemmy user, I think you’re going to be repeatedly disappointed looking for people who think the Bible is a good thing. In any modern and halfway decent society, yes, Bible is bad. Recognizing that something is shit isn’t an ability restricted to children.

    Thing is. I wonder if I can, because I know what game you're playing. It's the game people like you always play. You hunt for anything that can have any unsavory interpretation and pretend that's what I meant.

    I've seen enough of that on youtubers and in talking with those predispositioned to reddit atheism to know that's what you're going to do.

    So I'm just gonna talk my ball and go home.

    There's nothing wrong with having a religion but there's everything wrong with abuse and zealotry.

    I wouldn't say I'm playing "a game" but I do find it amusing when religious people find all kinds of nonsensical reasons for why it's totally necessary in modern society. Which I obviously disagree with.

    Your response is fair and one of the more measured ones I've ever read, I commend you for that

    I'll take your last paragraph as the explanation. I do think having a religion, if you actually fully buy into it not just pay lip service to it, is bad.

    Atheism is fine. It's when you insist that every instance and utterance of religion is evil and can't help but to bash Christianity every chance you get.

Those aren’t naked, surely those aren’t naked women. Something is playing a trick on my eye. Maybe they just have on tan body suits. … This is just really bizarre.’

    “I saw them just walking across the screen, and I’m like, ‘no.” I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’ What in the world am I watching? I didn’t watch a second longer. … I was so disturbed by it, I was like, ‘What is on your TV?’ I was very stern, like I’d been a mother or a classroom teacher. And I said, ‘What am I watching?
