I don't see any mention of changes to the wheel

After learning the phonetic alphabet I thought it would help when I'm spelling out my last name to people to say 'let me spell it out phonetically'. Most of the time I get a blank stare and then they have me repeat each letter, many of which sound similar.

As far as where to get the material, conveniently enough a church with $100 billion doesn't usually install security cameras and a few windows are usually left unlatched from Sunday school kids trying to get fresh air.

I finally got to a bedroom picture where it looked like painted walls, then zoomed in to see it was carpet. My only explanation is Mormonism, as I have only ever seen carpeted walls in my chapel growing up. Mind you, that was rough spiky carpet seemingly installed to discourage sleeping against the wall.

This is how Zoom works. The call was dropping in and out, and participants are shown in the order of when they joined or rejoined.

One of the many ways Trump is broken, he is incapable of laughter. The closest he'll get is to scoff, or say 'that was funny' after mocking someone.

Hairist? Don't you mean a Harrier?

There's the context of Trump riding the wave of right wing rage with his claims Obama was born in Kenya. Shortly after he paid a bunch of hourly extras to form a crowd as he descended a golden escalator to launch his 2016 campaign claiming Mexico was sending rapists, and a cadre of WWE fans, white supremacists, credulous evangelicals, and reprogrammable meatbags who tuned into Fox News decided politics was interesting again.

For most of these people if you start asking which years America was great versus not great they might admit some of the Bush years were sub-par (because of those OTHER people who hate freedom), and preach about the good ol' days when we drank water from a hose. Where everybody treated each other right, unless you were a person of color in a sundown town. They will retcon any facts you present and claim you are cancelling them and it's no fair remembering the past, as they have been conditioned to believe faith is a virtue. The Bible's "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" fucked up my brain for too many years of my life. I wish it was easier to fix this, but a useful quote I remember when I break off most discussions with my dad is,

If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic? -Sam Harris

For a fun science experiment, you can ask friends and family whether the knives whisper to them as well. If you are rigurous in your methods you may learn whether the source is the knife, or your brain, or according to that one relative, Illuminati broadcasts from the COVID microchip.

This is the result of indoctrinating children into magical thinking and giving them guns.

Believe me, nobody knows more about fraud than Trump! Many people are saying it.
