38 year old here checking in with “Butts” for his latest playthrough

Funny thing about this on is that my wife actually ghost wrote it. A few of the jokes in it are my creation.

We don’t get money from the sales. We just think it’s cool that it’s out in the world.

OMG! You’re technically correct but added nothing to the conversation! Congratulations!

I would suggest a book of jokes specifically for kids. Like this one.

It’s free on Kindle Unlimited. You don’t even have to let your daughter know that you’re getting them from a book.

It’s not that you have to, but the very fact that i could owns slaves, beat them daily, rape them, sell them, and do almost anything I wanted with them and God would give me a thumbs up as I walked through the pearly gates.

You don’t see how Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Christian church, who are named for being “Christ like”, and the Bible, the holy book of his teachings and God’s stances on the rules to enter heaven, are relevent to his people?

I actually agree with you.

Jesus and the Bible are irrelevant to Christians.

I think he’s referring to Jesus’ pro-slavery stances.

I like it. It’s a good reminder that i’ve been scrolling too long when i start seeing posts that are in the negative.

Back to 0 “Lemmy equivalent of Karma” score.

But now he’s in the negatives again.

You’re not wrong so i’ll bring you back up to 0

Meh. I’m a white cis man who voted for Harris. Fuck labels and preconceived notions of manliness.

To add to this, it’s widely used in Brazil who copied it from surf culture.

China also uses it as part of their one hand counting system. To them it’s the number 6 (pronounced ‘leo’). The use of it in western culture has allowed them to adopt it as a way of saying something is cool. They will say 666 (pronounced “leo leo leo”) while making the hand gesture to say something is cool. This fact was very fun to explain to my ultra conservative family back in the states.

You’re correct. But i also said Ignore and not “do nothing”. It’s possible to ignore the hate while still fighting for your rights.

As an American, fuck that guy.

What the fuck makes her a corporate stooge? She’s a prosecutor while the actual corporate stooge is trying to grift $100,000 watches.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you something cause it sounds like you might be in a bad place. Even with all of the political finger pointing surrounding your identity, you need to know something very important.

Your life matters. Your experiences matter. Your feelings matter.

You matter.

Ignore all the hatred and all the fear. Ignore the bigotry and close mindedness. Ignore it all and know that there are so many people out there that will love you and support you and accept you.

You are not alone.

I think we’re called Lemmings

This is actually pretty accurate.

I might be the only person who thinks this is hype.

Would I call the average American smart? No, but i wouldn’t call them dumb either. That’s because they’re average.

Would i say that the average American is well informed? Absolutely not.

Do i think it’s easier to convince millions of people, or the dozens of democratic leaders? I would like to assume that the democratic leadership would be easier to reason with.

But you’re suggesting that every democratic leader become immediately progressive, which would be amazing, is never going to happen. There’s such a stigma around “progressive” and “social” values that it would be political suicide and would only ignite the Republican base. It’s a guaranteed way of making sure we lose elections.

This path that you are calling easier isn’t easy. It’s risky. It has a high likelihood of failing, and failure means living in the handmaid’s tale. I have a family and i can’t take that risk.

The only way i see forward that is actually viable is a slow and steady march.
