[heritageposts]

I know you posted in the tags of a post that you ordered a Kufaya from Hirawbi. Have you gotten yours yet. For me it's going on a month and I know the website says that it can take up to a month but I'm concerned US customs confiscated it given everything with suppression of anything Palastinanian.

i'm not american so i can't really help you. last update from mine was that my order shipped on the 26th of october and is on its way to a warehouse in germany

We’re excited to inform you that, true to the Palestinian spirit of resilience, we’ve navigated through the challenges presented by the Israeli blockade between the cities of the West Bank. Your Kufiyas are now on their way to our warehouse in Germany. Due to a high volume of orders, our team will need some more days to sort and prepare shipments. We appreciate your continued patience.

yours might also be in a warehouse somewhere in europe. i understand your concern with US customs, but they're probably dealing with a record numbers of orders so i'd just be patient for now

and to anyone else reading this: please continue supporting palestinian stores like hirbawi! they're still taking pre-order for some of their kufiyas

Low masses are boring AF, high masses are boring AF but you're having you ass blasted by an organ and your choking on an agregious level of incense that summons the local fire department (true story)

I will go to a Trinidentine High Mass for the incense only. My lungs crave the smoke.

Helios Rising Heroes - Sing in the Darkness 3

Chapter 21: 

Licht: Those beads….

Licht: You mentioned that you could see ghosts too, right?

Licht: “This person will speak my words and convey my will to everyone.”—

Licht: The Savior is the one who proclaims the words of the founder after his passing. 

Licht: Someone who conveys truths, not someone who spouts hogwash. 

Licht: In other words, it’s been said that the ability to bring the soul of the founder into one’s body is the sign of the “Savior”. 

Sage: …….

Licht: I am not the “Savior” of the founder’s prophecy. 

Licht: The real Savior is you, Sage. 

Sage: ….!

Licht: It’s not me, it’s you…..

Licht: You were the one meant to bring salvation to Thonis. 

Licht: And yet, he…Robin let you escape from here…..

Sage: [sounds of pain]

Licht: You are the real Savior. and yet—

----------------------------------------------------

???: Uuuhhu…hhu…it’s dark…I’m scared….

Licht: it’s your fault; because he let you escape—

???: U……,uuuhhuhu…..

Licht: I was enshrined in your place—

???: Help me…I’m here….Sensei…..

[Glass shattering] 

----------------------------------------------------

Sage: …….

----------------------------------------------------

Robin: I’m here to help. 

Sage: Sensei…!

Robin: Let’s both get away from here. 

Robin: I’ll help you escape…Sage—

----------------------------------------------------

Sage: That’s right….that was me……

Sage: (I was scared of this dark place….I really hated it…..)

Sage: (I couldn’t help but hate the creepy adults and the incomprehensible rituals….)

Sage: (That I wanted to escape from here as soon as possible…those thoughts swirled around my head for so long…)

Sage: (And then, on that day—)

Sage: —Sensei…came to my rescue. 

Licht: Did you finally remember?

Sage: ….Why…did I forget?

Sage: I remember the day I met Sensei in Central….and even before that, before I came to New Million, so how….

Licht: Hmph………

Sage: Sensei…knew everything…and I…..?

Sage: He’s always kept it a secret….from me…..?

Licht: Is that it…?

Licht: Just taking you out of here wasn’t enough for him. 

Licht: Robin committed a crime for your sake.

Licht: Because he protected that damned child, he was made to despair, and was killed. 

Sage: …….

Hi I saw your post abt american fantail pigeons and are the conditions that american fantail pigeons experience universal to all fantail breeds or is american fantails uniquely bad?

American Fantails are uniquely bad, the fan doesn’t cause any issues besides trouble breeding. Garden Fantails are a personal favorite of mine from the fantail breeds because they’re just plain pigeon-shaped fantails :)

Howdy now that Avatar The Last Airbender is #1 on Netflix do you feel there's gonna be a renewed interest in the martial arts in the show since the audience rewatching as adults possibly have the chance to learn?

That might be possible once stay home orders are lifted and martial arts businesses can resume. It might result in increased popularity for certain styles that are otherwise hard to try out/train in.

Emil even though your bodies are not the most hugable shape do you accept hugs? How do hugs feel on bones?

I love hugs! Thank you! How do they feel on you?

[icharuse]

i have a mutual who keeps posting about something called blaseball and it’s the most incomprehensible hogwash i have ever consumed. every time i see a post that makes me feel like i just woke up in an alternate universe and am actively having a stroke i scroll down and it’s tagged blaseball

[boimgfrog]

hey what did fahrenheit 451 ever do to you!! (i am legitamately curious )

I rbed my rant on f451 earlier today if you want the full picture but, essentially, it's a bastardized boomer comic strip soaked in intellectual hogwash and glazed in a healthy dose of pedophilic undertones.

(Also the writing legitimately sucks?? There are multiple passages that are completely incomprehensible cos Ray doesn't explain shit and chooses to write in the most haughty verbose manner possible)

It's just shit, honestly.

In contrast, consider the fate of a Warsaw woman who was robbed and raped by the invading Russian troops. Unlike the metaphorical suffering of the Polish nation, the suffering of that woman was very real. It may well have been caused by human beliefs in various fictions, such as in Russian nationalism, in Orthodox Christianity, and in macho heroism, all of which inspired many of the Russian statesmen and soldiers. However, the resulting suffering was still 100 per cent real. Whenever politicians start talking in mystical terms, beware. They might be trying to disguise and excuse real suffering by wrapping it up in big incomprehensible words. Be particularly careful about the following four words: sacrifice, eternity, purity, redemption. If you hear any of these, sound the alarm. And if you happen to live in a country whose leader routinely says things like ‘Their sacrifice will redeem the purity of our eternal nation’ – know that you are in deep trouble. To save your sanity, always try to translate such hogwash into real terms: a soldier crying in agony, a woman beaten and brutalised, a child shaking in fear.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari 

[datdeinonychus]

As an ex-conservative and someone who grew up in a tiny minority of Reformed Protestantism, I have to comment on the connection here: the ethos of retributive justice that results in a life of self-hatred, stress, and hopelessness. These churches paint a God who either hates you outright for your sins or loves you but is too holy to let you and your vile sin exist. It’s a spectrum of “fire and brimstone” to “God loves you, but...”. They generate so much fear in living imperfectly, and that’s why they cling to their narratives so strongly, they don’t want to mess up and upset their God for risk of eternal, incomprehensible punishment. Naturally they want clearly-defined rules in every part of their life and feel threatened when those rules are upset. Thus they stick to their own circles of people who think like them and become even more intolerant of different ideas just from lack of exposure. Throw in Calvinism, which gives the “saved” a superiority complex, and being a part of it becomes incredibly isolating. One of the reasons I credit to having no friends in highschool (luckily I went to a public school instead of a private Christian academy or homeschooling) was the fact that I could only see the sin in others and didn’t want to be affiliated with it. I would hear other kids laughing about sex and drugs and see them fail classes or get into fights over petty drama and I did not see them as equals. I could only blame and silently judge them for being stupid (And I’ve got a lot to say about how schools as institutions encourage that). The farthest my empathy extended was praying for them. No compassionate look for the cause and solution for harmful behaviors or struggles, only sorrow and contempt for them. This way of life makes people paranoid, narrow-minded, and miserable. Their motivating feeling is anger becasue they do not know unconditional love. You can understand why FOX News and alt-right reactionary figureheads, which only confirm and worsen their fears, could have more appeal to these people.

I’m not saying to throw the baby out with the bathwater though. This is largely a colonized version of Christianty. I’m actually really hopeful as I see more and more Western churches adopt liberation theology. It’s changed my life to now view my God as someone who loves me beyond my wildest imagination and how that reframes “mercy” from “saving you from due external punishment” to “saving us from the natural misery of sin by giving us the tools and mindset to override the lizard brain and live harmoniously with others through effective communication and mutual aid.” And THAT is the Good News. When we were looking around eventually for a new church, it was an embarassment of riches when we were preached a message of compassion instead of condemnation.

And I’ve been trying to think about what the push was for me to make that change, becasue I suspect there are people who could read the same books that I read and still think it’s all liberal hogwash.

1) Getting outside my bubble. It’s no secret that Christian kids, if they’ve failed to be adequately indoctrinated, leave the church in droves once they go to college and get ANY outside perspective that makes sense (usually it’s evolution and geology that gets them to question everything, coming from a fundementalist denomination). For me it was being a Gay™ and trying to express myself in any way I could.

2) Having a majority of my support group on the same page. Being so isolated from other people, my family were my friends. My cousins and siblings were my playmates growing up, and my family gets together regularly. Now, luckily, they aren’t abusive assholes and were as easily radicalized to a ethos of love and understanding as I was once they saw how much their loved ones could suffer.

OP already touched on some of that though. I just wanted to get on my soapbox about liberation theology for a minute. My introduction was these books: A More Christlike God by Brad Jersak Disarming Scripture by Derek Flood How the Bible Actually Works by Peter Enns Love Wins by Rob Bell

stupid leftists and their belief in *checks notes* the intrinsic value of human life

[c-bassmeow]

It’s sad that on the left, often, obscurity and bombastic language is mistaken for depth. So much post modernist trash i see on my dash goes unchallenged because it’s usually presented in such a way that people are incentivized to reblog it merely because it is so mangled and incomprehensible. We tend to associate incomprehensibility with profoundness when in reality these two concepts are not related. Moreover these scholars tend to use metaphors that require a lot of background knowledge discouraging skeptics from speaking up because the framework they present are so far removed from reality that you must be schooled in their nonsense but also in reality to properly debunk the hogwash they present. Like I just read some “theory” that literally, if you logically analyzed the words used, objectively lead you nowhere and are either contradictory or nonsensical, but once again it goes unchallenged because many now contend that word salad equals a contribution in knowledge.

How dare you compare the beauty that is WestAllen to that claptrap hogwash that is kar*mel, it's incomprehensible!

Like I told the last anon, they're both equally as beautiful. This is my blog and I am entitled to like what I want ☺️.

Fifty Shades Darker Review

It is strange to think that the first Fifty Shades film could have been anything other than softcore hogwash. But there was something rather charming and cosy about the adaptation of the EL James novel as director Sam Taylor-Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel had a shrewd eye on the material they were adapting to the screen. But subbing out Taylor-Johnson and Marcel has made the sequel into the incomprehensible, humdrum romance we all expected, but miraculous, manages to be fifty times more duller and dummer. Not really caring much for the last film, Billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dorman) manages to win back Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) with the new arrangement being “No rules, no punishments and no more secrets”. That gives way to a plotless relationship story, with any form of drama coming from one of Christian’s former submissive returning to the picture, and Anastasia’s creepy boss trying to force himself onto her. The S&M novelty that gives these films a smack on the bum, feels completely vacuumed out, and replaced with sex scenes that are as steamy as two panting dogs in the cold. It doesn’t help that Dorman and Johnson work together as well as water works with fire, but their chemistry void is down a lot to their banal characters. Johnson is again a bright spot, particularly with that awkward comedic delivery she has with such drivelling dialogue. But she can only do so much with a character that is removing her panties every other scene. The rotting cherry on the cake is the most anti-climatic helicopter crash in recent memory, further cementing any doubt that cohesion was not at the forefront of the writer’s minds.

Fifty Shades Darker shows that this franchise needs to be bound and gagged so we are not subjected to a part three.
