lol you took, what, three days to come up with that??

Out of curiosity, who are you rooting for for the Super Bowl?

Oh I’m Presbyterian, not Muslim. But I do remember that God sent a flood to slaughter all of humanity except for Noah and his family. And sent Daniel to a lion pit to test his faith. And asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son to test his faith. I mean I can keep going. We herald these stories!

Well that was nice, thank you.

Oh neat a Jake Gyllenhaal optical illusion.
February 6, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Oh you’re a crazy person. My mistake.
February 6, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Oh for fuck’s sake. All y’all do is whine about what or who hurts your feelings or makes you uncomfortable.

And it took you a long ass time to come up with that super brutal comeback. I’m replying immediately because it’s really not hard to counter whatever you’re trying to say. But I’m having fun so give it another try.
February 6, 2025 at 6:16 PM
lol were you have supposed to have made me cry or piss myself? Either way I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do because you never made me feel anything besides mild amusement.

Oh, there we go. A known liar will show me the truth! I’ve got all this evidence in my face, but Trump a man or woman with a profile pic of a grizzly holding an assault rifle and wearing a maga hat told me I’m wrong. So therefore. I’m wrong.

It just clicked. I think people of your persuasion genuinely don’t understand the kind of work that goes into earning a PhD. I think you think we just sit around and shoot the shit all day and watch YouTube videos. When it really is reading for about 12 hours a day for 10-20 years.
February 6, 2025 at 2:10 PM
lol your YouTube videos definitely beats 15 years of hard studying and research.

Sir I have a PhD in history and have read hundreds of books on politics, economics, and society and I have especially educated myself on Nazism and the rise of fascism. So try again.
February 6, 2025 at 2:02 PM
Wow. That’s not what fascism is. Open a book. And furthermore, perhaps that true about dems. But I offer in rebuttal your profile pic of a grizzly holding an assault rifle and a MAGA hat. Or does that not count as propaganda because you volunteered to use that for free? Like a sheep?
February 6, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Okay. I’ll play ball. What fascist rhetoric has she been spewing? Because obviously if she’s giving a nazi salute, she must be pretty out and open with her beliefs right?
February 6, 2025 at 1:51 PM
Dumb dumb, she’s clearly waving her hand to emphasize a point. Elon is on camera slapping his heart and then sticking his hand out front. Like a Nazi. And then he does it again very emphatically. Also he posts and retweets antisemitic stuff. And he made a reference to the 14 words.

As a historian….sigh.

And all of these international tournaments have been taking place in spite of wars and a pandemic. So it seems like the “bread and circuses” comment doesn’t just apply to the USA. The Eagles also brings Philly together and that franchise contributes a lot to Philly and its communities.

And all of these things took place during the pandemic, the Ukraine war, the list goes on. The USA is far from the only country enjoying sports as a pastime. The Eagles brings Philadelphians together and contribute a lot to the city’s communities.
