Those poor multi-billion dollar…

Nope, I cannot even finish typing that sentence.

Fuck 'em.

It seems like you’re just being passive to avoid addressing the fact that these are extremely restrictive.

There is no doubt that the 10 commandments are exclusionary and intended to place any followers under the control of local religious authority.

This is like saying “Oh, we just pick and choose what to follow.”

So, if that’s the case, what’s the point of following any of it? Jesus’ words were very specific on that part. “I come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill the law and the prophets.”

It’s not a pick and choose kind of religion, even the christian-addendum.

I am concerned you don’t know the 10 commandments if you think they’re not controversial or controlling.

To name a few most forgotten:

Honor the sabbath day. Only worship yhwh. Don’t make any idols. Don’t take yhwv’s name in vain. And a lesser thought-crime: Don’t covet.

Sure, the rest are societally beneficial. But these that are often forgotten are about control and nothing else.

Edit: It’s hardly ever brought up that monotheism in Judaism wasn’t a thing until much later. So, again, these forgotten rules are about controlling who and even how to worship.

My hands feel weird…

Spam, spam, spam, spam Spam, spam, spam, spam Lovely spam, wonderful spam

So, the dictionary is not a gold-standard.

It is, in fact, the opposite and in very simplified terms, just a book of how people currently pronounce words and their meaning today. Think of it more as a record book for the time it was printed, rather than a rule book; living languages are funny like that.

If you would like to know more, I highly recommend Word by Word written by Kory Stamper, one of the editors for the Merriam-Websters Dictionary.

So, without reading the article, I’m assuming it’s lethal to humans and not just an issue where we all need to tell the closest rat to have a glass of cranberry juice for their uti.

I definitely would argue most people don’t ever work 8 hours a day.

Even when I was scheduled in a factory, I had 10-15min here, 30min there of downtime waiting on the line, going poo, being told to change posts, watching people drop pallets and then everyone scrambling to pick up the spill.

That’s why I’ll always advocate work from home. Get your shit done, and get on with life.

It’s a very hard line to tow.

I think the death penalty should really only be allowed for mass murder / enslavement.

However, I doubt any billionaires are innocent of enslaving people, even if it’s “I paid them ($0.07 / day, which is slave wages)!” So, fuck the ultra rich. They didn’t get there by hard work; they got there by exploiting people and the system. Finances are not unlimited, so funneling that much money to yourself means you are directly depriving whole communities of livelihood and, almost always, actual life.

This is my thought:

Good enough laptops are about $200, and Linux is free.

Then there are fairly good projectors for like $80 or less that have hdmi, av, rgb, etc. with an led bulb.

So, grand total about $300 for a massive screen and zero ads.

Lemme c if I can xplan.

Hot air goes up.

Rocks ata top are also up.

So, more hot at the top makes the rocks hotter ad hotter, lika microwav, until they boil and melt tye tip of the mountain of, then, boom, volcano.

So, any recs. on good dumb tvs?

I’m upgrading to a projector soon, but also would love a few screens with actual buttons on the device incase of the inevitable remote loss.

But only banned books

I really just wonder how easy it would be, psychologically, to start a Red-Blooded for Jesus organization, rake in profits under a non-profit tag, then “have to close because of the economy” and retire.

Survey says, you need more data.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!!! I got 6! I got 6 on the sun stare!

Same here!

Them: How about liason-title with added meetings and responsibilities?

Me: Does it pay more?

Them: Unfortunately, it does not.

Me: Unfortunately, I do not work for free.

Now I need to know if the next tier was, “Definitely-Not-Junior”.

I mean, in the book it even mentions that there are other people doing the exact same thing Jesus did. The book even implies that Jesus was not even one of the more popular trouble makers of the time. It’s more or less the sophists in a back-woods community that the Romans gave very little fucks about. Not surprising there’s little-to-no evidence.

Good title for a single: I’m not hating, I’m just fuckin’.
