I'm assuming you can't see. I don't know what to make of this.

I disagree, because this is the source of the 💿🐴 Framing matters. We're not just talking about a math problem and the best way to maximize your EV. The respondents that triggered Stancil's meltdown didn't think in those terms. They viewed it as the best way to improve their circumstances.

Statements 2-7 were adjudicated as true. Not substantially true. True.

No, if anything, this means we need to watch with the captions on.

Those are halberds. The voulge was traditionally carried by French archers, and their armory has enough rifles and bayonets to make them redundant. I'd prefer they carry a bill or guisarme, because they're descended from peasant tools, and that invokes a certain humility, but I get it.

I need to update my phone. The resolution on this camera is terrible.

And that hurts your case. This is the comment Joe responded to.

A little snow is a nice way to start the new year.

Because you shared this gem specifically about freedom of religion.

Bitch, did you forget already? You wouldn't be asking this if denying others the ability to choose wasn't something you were open to.

There weren't you just yesterday? You explicitly used the word "theory", and I don't think you know what "most" means.

J. D. Mettle @testyourmettle.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Oh, that old racist chestnut again? Remember what you said previously about Justice Jackson? How come you didn't respond when I pointed out how all those Federal Society Justices are another form of Affirmative Action? Isn't that just DEI for "conservative" opinions?

020

J. D. Mettle @testyourmettle.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Because you're holding them to a double standard. By your own admission, the pool of candidates was much smaller. I think it's fair to say not all of them would be on the bench without the affirmative action of the Federalist Society. You're all for DEI when it suits your craven ideas.

Let's revisit Kirk's remarks on his show (13 July 2023). Does this make Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson look like an affirmative action hire? Is she lacking somewhere? Is she overqualified? Are any white justices underqualified?

Well, ain't that a kick in the teeth.

We used to have similar conversations about Black people in this country. Kindly, shut the hell up.

You can see with your nose? How weird! And don't call me "babe." That's reserved for my wife, not abusive twatwaffles.

Did you forget already? I recommend taking omega-3s for memory issues. They're also good for cholesterol, in case you have a family history.

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. No cheating! Nobody said I had to be the one who took the photo.

Those were your words, I vehemently disagree with the assertion, and I'm not doing your job for you. Make your case yourself.

I think they're certifiable and a gross hypocrite.

Reskeet with the wisdom in your recently saved images.

So, the restaurant at dinner gave us a used children's menu. 🤷‍♂️ Toddler didn't care. She was more upset over not being tall enough to sip her apple juice while it was sitting on the table. I just thought it odd.

A little late sharing, I suppose, but I'd say it's been a good enough year.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture from (whatever device you’re using) without explanation

My goodness it's been more than six months since I got an account, and I just sat on it for most of that time. Ain't that silly? Anywho, we had a good weekend. The little one has a taste for apple cider slushies, cucumber, and hot sauce.
