sans sheriffs

The only remotely compelling analysis of self-discipline is Christian.

Wise men still order Pizza Shuttle.

Man I hate politics

I was turned off by the right-wing culture emerging on Twitter, so I came here. But this sucks, too.

How is everyone not irritated and turned off by the left-wing culture of Bluesky?

All the talk we used to have about "moral communities" seems so laughable now. Who cares? At the end of the day it all comes down to you and your personal strengths and weaknesses. Communities turn to ash and blow away.

Faith is literally a miracle for the old.

When my grandpa said "all my friends are dead" I thought "man old age sucks" but actually your friendships disappear way before your friends die

Let the ghost live in your house.

The problem with the Stirnerite allergy to spooks is that when you exorcize them, there's nothing left

Don't develop an identity based on youth

Don't cry, you have swag

I just don’t know what to do anymore. It all feels wrong.

I do the things that I do not want to do. I'm a man of contradictions in a time that desperately needs reconciliation.

I have known Christians with such powerful testimony that I came to hold the faith in very high esteem. Sadly, I confess, I am a terrible student.

I wish that I were not a Christian, because I feel that I am actively corrosive to the faith of those around me through my own personal struggles. It is only because I am utterly compelled that I claim such a noble title.

Bringing up teleology is punishable by death

Studying the Bible 👉👑
Studying in public school 👉🗑️

My primary objection to studying the Bible in public school is that it involves studying the Bible in public school.

What kind of realtor are you working with, and why didn't they get an inspection done so you would have an itemized list of improvements ranked by necessity and risks ranked by importance?

All these horror stories people are sharing are a result of not doing their homework. Why did you buy a house in a neighborhood with an HOA if you didn't want to pay HOA fees? Why did you buy a house in the woods if you can't afford tree removal?

Buying a house isn't always advantageous compared to renting, but it certainly can be.

Locking in a fixed-rate mortgage on a relatively new house in a growth area with low interest and a monthly payment that's significantly lower than relative rental prices? Solid.

Why did you expect these two not to get along?

Tuck your shirt in

The greatest argument against anarchism is polyamory.

Grow up, clean your room, get your affairs in order, and take real responsibility for your family and your community.

You can't make everything Christian without being a Christian, which involves personal struggle and discomfort.

The world where your community babies you and takes care of everything for you is a juvenile fantasy.

If you're living in degenerate filth, today, it is your own fault.

You can't be railroaded into it. The world won't do the work for you. If you want to live this way, you have to take responsibility for it.

You can't assign the task to some far off politician to do it for you, which is the snake oil the GOP is selling.

There is just no excuse, in the modern world, for politicizing this desire. Not only is it popular, not only does it have plentiful resources, it is arguably the best time in the world to try to live a comfortable traditional life.

There's one thing, though. You have to take responsibility.

Don't like sex, drugs, and rock n' roll? Don't move to San Francisco. There are many places where family life is the norm.

Don't like violent secular media? Don't watch HBO. There are many well-funded and popular Christian media studios and platforms.
