Original Sin

You own a gasoline-powered car. Your environmental guilt begins before you turn the ignition.

Confession

"Forgive me, Greta, for I have driven a V8."

Penance

Trade in your perfectly functional Toyota and purchase a $55,000 electric vehicle.

Indulgences

Pay thousands more for an EV and receive the priceless gift of feeling morally superior in traffic.

Baptism

Your first visit to a charging station, where your sins are washed away with renewable electricity, hopefully.

The Sacred Relics

Lithium batteries, cobalt mines, and rare-earth magnets. Best not to ask too many questions about their origins.

The Clergy

Celebrities arriving in luxury EVs to explain why your 2008 Honda is destroying civilization.

Tithing

Monthly payments on your new electric vehicle, a small price for planetary redemption.

Heresy

Suggesting that keeping an efficient, functioning gasoline car might sometimes make more environmental sense than manufacturing a new one.

Miracles

The electricity comes from a wall outlet, therefore it must be completely clean!

Pilgrimage

Driving 20 miles out of your way to find a working fast charger.

Martyrdom

Sitting at a broken charging station in February, bravely suffering for future generations.

Excommunication

Admitting you enjoy the sound of a V8 engine.

Salvation

Purchasing a zero-tailpipe-emission vehicle and ascending to a higher plane of environmental virtue.

Heaven

A world of silent highways, unlimited charging stations, and electricity bills paid by somebody else.

Shoresy

Original sin

Simply consuming disposable plastic makes you part of the problem.

Sinful behavior

Using a plastic straw becomes a symbol of environmental irresponsibility.

Penance

Accept an inconvenient paper straw to demonstrate sacrifice.

Sacred ritual

Bring reusable utensils, cups, and straws everywhere.

Public virtue

Businesses advertise their elimination of plastic straws as evidence of environmental responsibility.

Indulgences

Buy supposedly eco-friendly alternatives and feel you've discharged your environmental obligation.

Heresy

Questioning whether straw bans meaningfully reduce ocean pollution is signalling indifference to the environment.

Shoresy

Original sin: You're born into a carbon-consuming society, so you're implicated before you've made any choices.

Confession: Calculate your carbon footprint and acknowledge your environmental impact.

Penance: Give up flying, meat, or other comforts.

Indulgences: Purchase carbon offsets to compensate for emissions.

Moral virtue: Demonstrate your commitment through lifestyle choices.

I don't really care about what ai thinks. I want to know which state is your model for success.


I can think of many states in your country ruled by a single party for decades or more; just pick one, and hopefully a person who is a model of that success.


Plus you are deflecting by looking at states. 


Not really, Trump is from New York, and in a lot of ways he runs your country like New York is run. Bold and brash and in your face like New Yorkers. It really does matter.


Yes dems are wealthier


That won't be the case for long as communism sweeps through your country from both parties.

 You know its gonna take a responsible Democrat to dig us out of this, as it always does


What state has Democratic control for the past 50 years that isn't deep in a hole?

The list of candidates is very small for this very reason.


Most of those states are so deep in late-stage cronyism that they actually jail independent people for exposing Democrat evil and corruption.

Maybe, as Ebuc hinted, the USA should start fresh with communism to eliminate late-stage cronyism and start the clock over....


Until you guys get to see cronyism under Communism a few decades later.

So no, you have zero skepticism regarding the allegations of this case.


Many others do, so you are in the minority.


The fact remains that women do often lie. Especially when faced with a dilemma of being labeled either a truthful slut or a lying victim. Especially as that dichotomy was outlined in Jane Doe's own texts. Believing all women only when they say what you want to hear is disingenuous at best.


To have zero skepticism of these allegations is ignorance, whether willful or not.

Is there anything about this case that you are skeptical about? Are you just a pretender?

And? Are you suggesting her naming them somehow means she consented? That doesnt follow.


I'm suggesting that after 18 days from the "i love you" texts, she decided to lie.

Again, unlike you, I am skeptical.


Since you're having difficulty, the answer is 'no'


To a hypothetical, which doesn't apply to this case where both parties are likely self-impaired. Grats. Cause owning people is more important than the truth to some unskeptical people.


 Consent requires a minimum level of mental acuity, and someone in and out of consciousness doesn't have it.


So does malice.


Jonathan Newell: reportedly described fuzzy memory and said he couldn’t remember part of the encounter. www.the-sun.com

Matthew Ingalls: reportedly told investigators he was too intoxicated to consent and later alleged Doe assaulted him while he was incapacitated.

they are incapacitated

Again with the hypothetical wording...

Because there is a huge responsibility question, legally speaking, as to who did the incapacitating. Ignoring the point doesn't make it go away. When both parties self-incapacitate, assigning malice becomes extremely difficult without cultural bias tipping the scales one way.


The problem is that individuals she didnt agree to had sex with her.


She named all 7 as rapists or sexual assaulters, so that's another hypothetical you want me to answer? Do you even care about real situations?

The case is more about "Is an incapacitated man responsible for what happens to a woman if a woman incapacitates herself"


Because if that is in any way, shape, or form true, then you are headed to a Hijab society.


 if she is incapacitated 


Your deliberate wording absolves the woman of all responsibility. Hence, Hijabistan is in the future for Americans

So no skepticism of the "I love you." texts. Not saying she meant it when she texted that, but it sure draws her credibility into question.


What actually probably and likely happened was the girl was faced with an impossible dillemma supported by those texts.


Either be branded as a truthful drunken slut, or be branded as a deceitful victim. Both are bad, but her female friends definitely encouraged her to choose the latter, since we live in a zeitgeist where you can be held responsible for anything and everything as long as you were born with a penis. To go from "I love you" to ...18 DAYS LATER... "You raped me" screams of deception.


Because unlike you, I don't believe all women or all things. I am skeptical.

Your non-skepticism of this obviously manufactured outrage story is legendary.


If you think it's normal for a woman to text "I love you" to a rapist the morning after, your skepticism is near nil.


Imagine thinking the problem is her getting drunk, and not the 7 men who assaulted her or the others who treated her trauma like a spectator sport.


Imagine thinking society can exist with women having the freedom to take whatever drugs they want and then expect men to take responsibility for her choices at the same time. That's why the Hijab will make a comeback. It's the same shit as Lindsey Clancy. No accountability for women; blame the men. At some point, the men will forcefully take that freedom away since they already have the responsibility and accountability thrust upon them.

Yes, 56 men should have stopped a woman from getting Drunk. And should have thrown a Hijab over her head while they were at it.

I don't think Trump cares about the midterms at all. He is hell-bent on making permanent changes that no president will be able to undo.


For example, there is zero chance that any President after Trump will be able to restore Iran to how it has operated for the past 50 years. No matter who it is.

Most ASSIMILATED Latinos in America are not racist against White People. They know that a civilized society doesn't have to include racism toward the ones who built that civilized society.
