Today, many people associate epicureanism with hedonistic pleasure-seeking, but that’s not really what he taught, writes Thomas Moran, University of Adelaide.

Long before debates over ‘wokeness’, Epicurus built a philosophy that welcomed slaves, women and outsiders

Sources? And what ideas weren’t part of the Tea Party Republicans? Which ones aren’t based on Bushes actions like the Patriot Act? Forced Renditions? Who put in a Supreme Court that just happens to declare all aspects of Project 2025 legal?

Actually you do. And this shows your ignorance, only certain breeds are hypoallergenic and adults and children with allergies that want a dog cannot just take any dog. Labs and Retrievers predominant in companion for disability. German Shepherds as Police dogs. Beagles as drug dogs.

Christopher Hugh 🌈🦮👨‍🏫🍷 @chsibley67.bsky.social · 8d

Choosing a rescue or from a breeder is a deeply personal decision that takes into account specific needs of family and owners which are none of your business and unworthy of your judgement and condemnation when you have no idea what those needs may be. doggodigest.com/rescue-or-br...

Your logic is as flawed as any MAGA. No one is anti-animal rescue. People chose from breeders for lefitimate and needed reasons in everything from chosing police dogs, drug dogs, dogs for the blind and the most common need of breeds being allergy free. unbiased-living.com/the-most-hom...

That’s true of all dogs, it’s irresponsible owners that don’t get animals spayed and neutered that cause the issues in shelters. And breeding is about maintaining genetic variety and lineages. Do you think breeds should go extinct because some Americans can’t manage being responsible owners?

You do realize that all dogs need a home and any dog given a home is rescued.

But it’s not true. He’s not forcing Republicans to do a damned thing! This is who they are! They want this, they support this. Republicans wrote Project 2025, not Trump! This is why we will fail. It’s not just Trump that must be defeated, it is the GOP.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.

China expands Argentina soybean buying to 20 cargoes, traders say

Chinese importers kept up a hectic pace of Argentine soybean purchases after the South American supplier's move to abolish export taxes temporarily made its prices competitive, traders said on Wednesday.

So do we need to start hiding our names and identities? Since Trump is declaring us a terrorist organization?

So how do they decide whose Antifa when everyone against Trump and the GOP is antifa?

This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers.
