The point is to raise awareness.

Jesse Butler is a dangerous rapist. Just like Brock Turner, he received essentially no punishment and remains a danger to society. The state failed in its obligation to punish Jesse Butler and protect society from him. Hopefully if a judge understands that giving the kid-glove treatment to a dangerous rapist results in public opprobrium, they will reconsider letting dangerous rapists off because their family is connected with local college sports.

If he had been a woman who shot an abuser in self defense, he would have ended up in prison.

This entire situation is insane. He is going to end up killing someone, someday.

In the victim’s statement, she revealed Butler threatened to kill her, her family or himself if she told anyone. She spoke of a scenario in which Butler strangled her until she was unconscious. According to the statement, she had to have surgery on her neck and a medical professional told her she was 30 seconds away from dying.

Family works for Oklahoma State University’s athletics. Football is religion here.

He resigned to take a position at an anti-union teachers union. There’s massive conflict of interest concerns, because he was doing things that benefited his new employer while still superintendent.

No Oklahoma Congress critter had the spine to do jack shit about him. Even the investigation into the porn was a joke, the investigators were basically like “what evidence do you want to give us? Let us know when you’d like us to come by!”

No, there were no consequences and he used his public position to get a job with an organization dedicated to destroying education from the outside, after looting state funds to pay his friends state salaries.

He runs a cult and fucks teenagers.

It’s primarily a Jewish and Muslim thing. Christianity doesn’t really require it.

Having been born female, it’s amazing how I was diagnosed with everything from paranoid fucking schizophrenia to bipolar rather than acknowledge ASD/ADHD.

I remember cleaning out my locker once at the end of school and having a ton of crap just fall out on me. Absolutely no recognition of my lack of organizational/executive function skills because girls couldn’t possibly be ADHD/ASD.

He was also a eugenicist!

Covering the organs with a cage has been practiced with entire success. A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anaesthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.

I wonder what will happen to Knowledge Fight if the cockroach of InfoWars finally dies. I guess they’ve been doing some Tucker.

It’s just odd. Been reading Martin Luther lately and it’s the antithesis to everything he’s saying about faith versus works. And if he was Calvinist, his position in life would be part of being “elect” anyway.

It’s amazing that we have a wannabe theocrat who makes a mockery of the religion that is supposed to be supreme here. Everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.

Tyler Childers gets it. You just gotta stay away from the shit that airs on the radio.

Putting it directly on the over rack at 350 usually works fine for me.

(Not owning a microwave teaches you patience…)

That’s not at all a modern American “nondenominational” Protestant attitude though. If you are saved, you are supposed to be assured that you are getting into Heaven.

The documentary Marjoe is a really good exploration of this. Former child preacher who stopped believing, and invites a documentary crew as he does a tour.

It’s in the public domain - they forget to register it, so you should be able to find the full movie online.

Was absolutely lovely (/s) to have a conversation with my doctor today about what my options would be if they do that. Government so small that it fits in my doctors office. I’ve been on HRT since Obama was in office.

SnapCircuits!

They have a bunch of different kits, there’s like a music one that’ll even let you make a circuit that plays music from a phone.

They are absolutely a WONDERFUL introduction to electricity for a kid.

The only animal I can think of that won’t eat when hungry is a lonely guinea pig.

You’ve never talked to anyone who raises snakes, have you?

It’s kinda amazing how this thread has brought out a bunch of people who wouldn’t pass an intro high school biology class, but seem to think they’re a genius on animal welfare.
