No, she’s busy being on the Air Force Academy board…
A place where evangelical extremism has been a problem for literal decades and everyone just pretends isn’t a big deal.
Her not talking to a couple hundred highschoolers is nothing compared to the real damage she’s doing when she’s not pretending to be a couch.
Set in 1917, it focuses on a 12-year-old girl being raised in a brothel in Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans, by her prostitute mother. Barbara Steele, Diana Scarwid, and Antonio Fargas appear in supporting roles. The film is based on the true account of a young girl who was sexually exploited by being groomed to engage in prostitution as a child, a theme that was recounted in historian Al Rose’s 1974 book Storyville, New Orleans: Being an Authentic Illustrated Account of the Notorious Red-Light District.

They could absolutely make that today, especially if casting an 18+ actor to play the lead…
Like, who do you imagine stopping that unless you think it would require graphic and illegal material?
and inevitably someone else will disagree.
Because literally any movie could be made today…
Whether it would be shown in theaters or even assigned a rating is different, but anyone can make a movie about anything today.
There was some valuable discussion to be had even just 20 years ago. But in 2026 anyone saying:
That movie couldn’t be made today.
Doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Like, they’re basically just saying they don’t understand what a film festival is…
Anyone who actually “gambles” on these without knowing the result is just funneling money to corrupt people…
It’s wild people still don’t understand this
Back in the day, certain slaves were “house slaves” who were still treated like shit and beat. But were “allowed” to do work in the plantation house instead of the fields.
They were often more racist then the slave owners. The only way they could build themselves up was by tearing their brothers and sisters down.
The worst the slave owner consider them, the better the ones in the house seemed by default.
While Thomas should be aware of all that as a “legal scholar” who would have had to study shit like this for years…
The mentality isn’t relegated to just slavery.
Pick any random minority, and you can find a member who does similar.
So he probably wouldn’t mind if slavery came back, because in his head he’d still be one of the “valuable exceptions” and has done the mental gymnastics to think he’d even hold onto his position.
Understanding how they think is important to stop them.
The gross part is how they “recruit with daughters”.
They raise their own daughters deep in the religion, then push them to do anything to get a young officer to marry them so they can convert them.
Like, it happens all over, but nowhere worse than AF academy. In SC there’s a marine Academy and a Navy Nuclear school, they’re out on the prowl there too. Anywhere young military members are, you’ll find a disproportionate amount of young attractive evangelical women willing to go absolutely crazy and then pull a 180 after the wedding night.
It’s like a psuedo rumspringer the Amish do. As soon as their daughters are 18, they’re given the green the light to commit any kind of sin to engrapt a husband for the cause.
Bruh…
There’s sermons at every PT and almost every function.
The Chair Force especially has been overrun with Protestant extremists in their academy.
Like, if you think this is bad, it’s worth going down that rabbit hole to realize how bad it actually is.
That article is 16 years old and it’s only gotten worse. They just put Erika Kirk on the board:
Don’t Panic
Might not ever be the best piece of advice, but it’s always the second best piece of advice in any situation
What do you think the word “adapted” means?
Because I think that’s the problem here.
But to be honest, I’m probably not gonna put much more effort in to helping
If you had a few more sentences, you wouldn’t have had to type all that…
The first few lines of the prayer were written by Tarantino and Roger Avary for the hit film Pulp Fiction. The second part of the verse is taken from the Bible, where the speaker condemns the Philistines and the Cherethims, who were alleged to be enemies of the Israelites.
In Pulp Fiction, the character played by Samuel L Jackson falsely claimed the entirety of the verse was Ezekiel 25:17. He utters the verse before executing a terrified young criminal.___
Did trump take the picture?
I mean…
I took a Weschler and a college class on testing methods taught by the head of my university’s psych department…
How much do you know about quantying intelligence?
Did you read a blog post?
I finally blocked /showerthoughts because of all the obviously AI low effort posts by brand new accounts.
Like, I get how it’s hard for mods to stop it, but there’s so many posts that were just nonsensical rambling that said nothing but copied the cadence of classic “deep” thoughts.
And since it’s a continual churn of new accounts, you can’t just block the ones doing it. Some communities are just magnets for slop unfortunately
That’s saying we don’t force a single test on the entire planet’s population…
Which we wouldn’t do for anything.
It doesn’t make IQ tests worthless, and the only way someone could make that leap to think they are, is if they don’t know anything about testing
No, I’m sorry but none of that is uncontrollable
A lot of the sections in an IQ test involve prefrontal cortex which also handled empathy.
Why would it not?
How many are you going to ask for?
Why can’t you admit you were obviously wrong, or at least just not respond?
That’s not alcoholism, he’s coked to the fucking gills…
It’s really common these days with heavy drinkers, because it lets you drink longer. Eventually you crash and nothing can wake you up unless someone shoves a bump up your nose.
Then you’re up and running for a couple more days doing crazy shit.
The staying awake for days is why meth heads are so crazy, but you can do the same on coke if you have a key to the evidence locker…
Shits gonna keep getting crazier too.
