It's about to be a hot week out here with temperatures approaching 90.

And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

I was so determined to not say anything to disagree with anyone, and then I didn't. I might need to find a new region.

It is actually pretty serious. They have actual classes and everything. I don't know why they put in the effort, but we have a very serious school of theology now.

And we have an online church as well. That one is more serious. My region is filled with overachievers.

See, the online church I understand, that's fine. Congregations are just communities anyway, what's the difference if its online instead of a building you go to each Sunday.

The college/university thing is just so silly.

It's an actual church with sermons. I think those are usually linked in the service.

It's a sign of being very dedicated to being a Christian region. So yes, it's kind of funny.

A lack of architecture for starters.

14 by the way those euros tell temp, with a water temp at 11. Why anyone would want to go to the beach today is beyond me.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Presumably they're in their houses or a cafe or someplace that has Wi-Fi. Odds are architecture is present.

Every time I look, it's just funnier and funnier. Like, he's awarded himself a PhD but hasn't even finished creating the PhD program.
