or D. Spending all day posting s#!t about people who believe in things while standing up for nothing yourself.

For most of my life I never understood why Easter floated around so much. Not only different weeks, but sometimes different months. Then I found out from one of my kid's picture books. Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. Turns out it has much more to do with existing pagan rituals than it does Christianity. In other news, we just hid Easter eggs for our 20 year old son home for Spring Break. They are plastic and filled with money. Felt good. I like Easter.

I feel marginalized and excluded. I didn’t see any heterosexual or cisgender days on that laundry list of special days. And here’s some As long as we regularly highlight our differences, we will struggle to have true equality. There are special days and awards for everything except for the predominant majority demographics. Is it really amazing that people in the predominant majority groups are sort of fed up? I realize some minority groups have been marginalized but I’m not convinced constantly pointing out every difference is the best way for everyone to be truly treated as equals.

Maybe when you have churches, governments, and citizens actively railing against being a cis gender male we can have a day of recognition. In a perfect world, sure we would celebrate everyone equally and live happily ever after, but that's not where we live...

I don't think this is "outrage" I think this is a person changing their mind (something that many posters here think can't happen) I disagree with Jenner and like all normal people was able to get through my day with no crying or whining...but Jenner felt differently and that is okay.

Nope... It is one of my answers. Which, you also know. I stand up for common sense as you do as well. Blocking the golden gate bridge is not going to stop what is going on in the middle east. But this does give me a great idea for a topic that I hope a lot of us participate in!

The hodgepodge of religious rituals that make up Christianity but have nothing to do with Christ is lengthy and many-varied.

I am sure this means our property taxes will start to go done too! Ha Dude, where you live and bennington are just getting smoked with the property tax increase, aren't you?

I don't have a chart or graph but out here in Omaha things that were never locked up before and were never behind plastic are now locked up and are now behind plastic. I can only imagine two reasons for that. 1. Because they were getting ripped off 2. Because they are taking preventative measures to not get ripped off. I know, I know...I have not been to every single store in Omaha and I know, i know, this is anecdotal. But this probably includes at 10 different stores. Walmart and Target stores only. I have not seen this done at HyVee, because at Hy-Vee they are the ones doing the ripping off.

Agree 100% It’s why I have zero problems with Biden, or any POTUS, declaring a day to recognize people’s contributions who have been seen as “unequal” by many people in our society . Isn’t it crazy that the folks who started this social media uproar are also generally the same people that claim transsexuals are abominations and that they often deserve ridicule? Spend time with your family and thank your lucky stars that they are welcomed enough walking down the street that normal folks don’t feel the need to point out their importance to haters.

I do not! Westboro deserves it all. Unfortunate about the children being brainwashed just as their parents before them. May Fred Phelps rot. Think there’s a few gay pride houses in the same neighborhood in Topeka still but I haven’t driven through for a few years. We also had a student who was in the church as well. I suppose we are all just victims of our surroundings.

The westboro and Missouri Baptist preachers started condemning each other to hell. Epic moment.

Not that time.

Ha! Oh my god, that is what college experiences are about! All these years later you remember it! Did you get cuffed?

I totally get what you are saying but could that just be your area? Like, maybe other areas are lower? I have no idea. I know Omaha is brutal. If I was looking to buy a house right now in Omaha I would rather just join a Pro-Pally group instead.

I think if I remember we had 4 students walk out. So, that helped! Ha Greek vs Dorm...I allow it!

It was sort of anti-dormie? We started it by throwing snowballs at the first few floors of windows on Pound. Yeah I know that doesn’t count. There was some big Iranian student protest where they were marching down 17th or 16th or Q street. I totally missed it. Rabble rouser

In the portal!

It was a good win. They played clean on defense and what seems to be the norm, they did just enough offensively to win and with Oklahoma getting swept by Lamar this weekend enough to be ranked. Getting ranked is not a good thing for this team. Yes, I think Northwestern will surprise a couple teams in conference play but Nebraska is not playing like a top 25 team. They are giving up late inning runs, the fielding % is lacking and the team is winning shakingly. (All Huskers fans this weekend found ourselves begging for the win in all 3 games.) There is loads of reason for optimism though. This team just grinds. The pitching staff is deeper than projected and Bolt is allowing the base coaches to coach. The small ball play has been better than advertised. All of that is on the Staff and Players. Buckle Up folks, it's getting more real with each game. Tuesday's game against a red hot, very good Creighton team will be the Huskers best test to date Congrats to BIG RED, the team and the fans!! Let's keep it going. Very tough week ahead!!!!

I just like how this team seems to find ways to win. Sometimes it is offensive explosion, others it’s great pitching, other times it’s taking what the other team gives you and taking advantage of it, and sometimes luck. Regardless, they are winning games.

For the 2nd time this weekend, KP comes through in the clutch. He gets us out of 8th… 1-2-3 in 9th and 10th.

I'm guessing the investigation into this will be exactly like every other investigation into hate crimes.

Reminds me of this gem:

Technically, her job was in the journalism business, and if the top line in your resume is the job you did willfully spreading partisan disinformation do the detriment of the nation, it should be a disqualifier. Is Ronna any worse than Rachel Maddow's obsession with Russia? All things considered: yes. She's 42% worse.

Yeah, I guess I expressed my frustration with the proclamation because of which voters it could potentially alienate but my real frustration is with a country that advertises liberty and justice for all but a rather large subset of the people just don’t f#&%ing get it.

Right... Which is why they made this proclamation.

Haha! We have something in common. We are in the same f#&%ing boat. I could sell mine for 159% more than I bought it for and if I sold it the only thing I could by would be a smaller place in a neighborhood that is not at nice.

The county has increased the value of my home 150% over the past 10 years. I’d sell it today if I could afford another house!

The plan is to just blow through the Constitution. If the military is in your side what are the courts going to do about it?

What are you guys going to do today now that you can't celebrate Easter?

Wait. How do you have the time to watch the View? IMO those shows are even worse than reality TV. It’s all a farce. Created conflicts to sell commercial time.

I don’t want a day of recognition. I just want everyone to pull their head out of their a$$ and realize we are all equal and deserve to be treated with respect. Amazing that it is spelled out so clearly in the Constitution yet it is a daily chore continuing to detail who all that entails.

Pretty much what the dude on the View said the other day and those ladies tried to ruin him. Whoopie actually wasn't so bad to him.

Man, you are like a case study in "everything Trump does is fine because Dems are bad."

Meh….to me there’s a big difference between picturing the justice system putting him in jail compared to picturing Biden obviously being abducted by civilians and throwing him in the back of a pickup. One depicts the system to do it. The other motivates vigilantes to take care of it. And, we’ve already seen that he can motivate them to do bad things.

Maybe I should be posting in the ‘bump when drunk’ page instead but what are you talking about? I’m tipsy so happy Easter everybody! I hope yours was as well spent and as happy as mine. (This post took a lot of effort between the alcohol and the pop up adds!) Nebraska’s strength of schedule (I spelled that out it with the help of auto correct) is 40, they are 20-5. Maryland’s schedule is 80, Rutgers is 137, Ohio State is 55, Northwestern is 48…we have a better record than all of them. Ohio state is 12-12…Northwestern, whom we just swept, is 10-15 and we are the paper tiger? I don’t think you are giving this team enough credit. Enjoy this s***!!!! GBR!!! ***edit due to too much vino***

This guy sounds like a real piece of crap.

And after one weekend:

Ha It was on a clip that was posted here!

Biden being inclusive somehow alienated Christians. I think your blaming the wrong people here.

You know Easter is on a different day every year, right, and that Jesus was cool with eunuchs and whores?

I SORT of get, if you just see the protest dorks out there and you go join in... But...imagine being at f#&%ing Hobby Lobby or Michaels...with a buddy and you are like "Hey, this will just take a minute, I gotta buy some poster board, a stick, some paint and maybe glitter." And your buddy is like "Oh, does your kid have a project in school?" And you are like "No, I am protesting the sun" or "I am supporting Hamas" or whatever... Does it not set in that you are a total dork???

Well, the guy did yell "Democracy is dead" and I guess according to one of the replies that are actually Republicans ACTING like Democrats! I am trying to think what is a bigger loser move. We can set this up like a test question. 1. What makes a person a bigger loser? A. Protesting Israel and being a Pro-Pally Bro B. Pretending to be protesting but really working "undercover" for the other side C. Both

IX. Demonizing Americans with Whom He Disagrees "On Nov. 15, 2023, while announcing his 2024 presidential bid, Trump said in a speech at Mar-a-Lago, “the gravest threats to our civilization are not from abroad, but from within.”" He has called those who don’t support his reelection “demonic forces, abolishing and demolishing–and happily doing so–our country.” He later described the opposition as “Marxist, fascist, and communist tyrants who want to smash our Judeo-Christian heritage.” Nov. 11, 2023, Claremont, NH Veterans Day Event: Trump vowed to “root out” his political opponents, calling them “vermin,” echoing fascist dictators like Hitler and Mussolini. March 6, 2023, CPAC conference: Trump said, “If those opposing us succeed, our once beautiful U.S.A. will be a failed country that no one will even recognize. A lawless, open-borders, crime-ridden, filthy, communist nightmare. That’s what it’s going and that’s where it’s going … Either they win or we win. And if they win, we no longer have a country.” Oct. 22, 2023, Truth Social, Trump said: “Democrat politicians, mainstream media personnel and Hollywood actors and producers are brazen unapologetic Communists” Obviously he doesn't know what communism is especially considering that under Biden corporate profits are at an all time high. His base doesn't know what it means either but it touches them in giblets.
