prole,

Ha, they totally are the kid who would repeat the punchline of your joke to get attention!

(did it work?)

prole,

There’s nothing more quintessentially American than pulling the ladder up behind you.

prole,

Have you tried using a VPN and looking it up from outside Japan?

prole,

I have a certain set of skills…

prole,

Perry Bible Fellowship -esque

prole,

Conducting electricity would be my guess?

prole,

But pickled red onions are the shit.

prole,

I feel sorry for you.

prole, (edited )

Is that bad? Acidic is a staple flavor archetype in food all over the world. I remember not liking onions as a child… Then I realized I was wrong.

prole,

NO

Mary Magdalene. It’s never explicitly stated in the canonical Bible (as if that means anything), but they were very close.

All these people saying “use this or use that distro instead” is why Windows users don’t go into Linux. Ubuntu is a solid choice for beginners

You literally did the thing you’re decrying in the very next sentence.

“The problem is everyone telling Windows users which distro to use. Which is why I’m telling them they should just use Ubuntu.”

If Barry Lyndon was any indication, he would have def gotten the natural light spot on.

Kind of a boring movie, but goddamn is it gorgeous.

prole,

I look forward to the class action suit, and the $14 check I’ll get in the mail.

prole,

Lol… At this point, they probably wouldn’t need to be if humans weren’t so awful and selfish.

The problem was doing the dishes. Just let them pile up, it’ll be fine.

Side note though: Work/life balance for the win. I get paid slightly less than others in my field, but I also work ~40 hours a week, and never take work home with me. It’s wonderful.

Give it time. At this rate, we’re heading directly back to the days of “women don’t can’t wear pants”.

In 1969, Mr. Rogers testified before U.S. Congress to get funding for public broadcasting. Senator John Pastore is initially abrasive but is won over by Mr. Rogers' warmth and kindness. (www.youtube.com)

This 7-min video is worth the watch. You can see Mr. Rogers’ authenticity and the effect it has on the senator. The man was a national treasure.

Nowadays, he’d just get shouted down by the likes of Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene about being “woke” for telling kids they’re special. Probably wouldn’t have even let him finish his statement.

prole,

If you don’t believe that Jesus died and rose again for your sins, then you’re not a Christian by definition.

Also, those are not “obscure” stories. They’re the basis of all Abrahamic religions, including Christianity. In fact, the only reason there even is a NT is because they wanted to write about the “prophecies” from the OT “coming true.” You can’t have one without the other.

And, once again, Jesus is God. God did really fucked up things in the old testament, that means Jesus did really fucked up things. In the NT he supported those fucked up things that he did, and his existence itself is allegedly a fulfillment of OT prophecy. That’s why they killed him! Assuming he ever existed in the first place.

Not trying to be a dick, but as someone who was raised in an evangelical church, I know the Bible inside and out. People who pick and choose, or pretend they can be Christian and still think being gay is ok, piss me off because it’s a direct contradiction of what you claim to believe.

People like you legitimize a barbaric religion that is (once again) destroying the fabric of our society. Be honest with yourself and come to terms with the fact that your religion condones slavery, and killing people for being homosexual.

prole,

The Bible contains quite a bit of hating others… God is a real piece of shit in the old testament. What did Job do to deserve what he got? Why did he tell Abraham to kill his own son for a goof? The book literally justifies slavery.

According to the book, Jesus is God, so…

prole,

Ok, just pointing out that your beliefs are not consistent with your holy book.

By what criteria are you able to justify ignoring parts of the book and not others? Is it not the inerrant word of God? Didn’t Jesus say that he didn’t come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it? He made it very clear that you can’t just throw away the OT.

You seem to have good values, just don’t see the reason any kind of unscientific claims about the supernatural need to be a part of it. Just unnecessary baggage.

given how little one vote matter, it seems to me that stripping felons of their right to vote is both petty and counterproductive if the point was to reform them into civic minded individuals ?

Also, seems kind of scary that this implies a future where so many people are in prison that their vote could actually tip the balance ?

prole,

Also keep in mind that they count those prisoners as part of the census, which affects how resources are distributed.

So they’re counted, but don’t get a vote. Ripe for abuse by unscrupulous politicians.

prole,

It’s win/win for them. Thousands of fewer (likely mostly) Democratic leaning voters, and thousands of additional people counted in their census.

prole,

I imagine it’s more like a blood choke than an air choke.

prole,

That’s an incredibly pessimistic way to view the world… I think it’s more accurate to say that people have the capacity for both good and evil. I’m not sure that you can say that “most everyone you know” are immoral or evil. That’s quite the claim.

Though we would also have to explore what “immoral,” and “evil” actually mean. Am I immoral for purchasing and using a cell phone made with materials that were obtained through means that destroy lives and damage ecosystems?

The modern world is far too complex and interconnected for people to avoid doing things that could be considered immoral or unethical.
