But why does the tree have a vagina?

There’s a weird obsession in a lot of americanized Christianity with getting young adults married and then having kids. Because I guess they want to see more little Jesus babies and they think that’s all a young adult woman needs to be doing.
I was pressured hardcore into getting married young and then having kids. Fortunately no kids happened and I got out of it all. But I saw so many older church folk at multiple churches push this on lots of young adults.
There’s this weird “no sex no sex no sex no sex” obsession with sex they impress upon you as a teen, which has kind of a Streisand effect by the way. Then at age 18 it becomes endless “oh you two are so cute, when are you proposing, when is the wedding, when are the kids coming…” kind of shit.
Especially for girls. I knew one woman once who said it was (figuratively) like her parents were weirdly holding her legs closed for so long and obsessed with her “purity,” and then one day it was almost like they were wanting to force her legs open for any Christian man they liked.

Unless you’re a young married Christian couple. Then it’s all they fucking bring up at church.

Nobody cares.
People spend $60+ to play a game for potentially tens or hundreds of hours and there’s a chance they might not have access to it years down the road when they likely have forgotten about it anyway.
Everyone loses their fuckin minds.

You can Venmo the US government to help pay down the debtEnglish3·24 days agoCurrent social security taxes go straight to current social security stuff. Its a paygo system. It used to be something like 15 wage earners per current social security recipient, but as of when I last read up on it, that was down to 3 to 1 and continuing to slide towards the red.
The first social security recipient paid in like $15 before returning and then collected like $20k or something before dying.

What I mean is it’s a safe bet that any random person whining about their federal tax dollars doesn’t actually pay much in, if any.

I wonder how much Edward Norton got paid to be in this.
