I’ve used descriptive audio to re-“watch” my favorite movies while driving for work. It’s fascinating how the descriptions work with the time constraints to get the story across.
Here’s a great podcast episode about how they are made: 20,000 Hertz - Audio Descriptions

You may want to include this context in your original post, as without it, it comes across like you are making a blanket statement about the blanket statement.

The thing is, Jesus quoted the ten commandments, and taught that they are still in effect, the same can’t be said for most of the rest of the Old Testament though.

Here are the verses I could find with some quick searching: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 “28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.” Exodus 22:16-17 “16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.” Both of these require the rapist/seducer to marry the woman and to pay the standard dowry amount to the woman’s father. The exodus verse gives the father the option to reject the marriage, which is a good addition! (IMO since the Deuteronomy version was written later, the rejection clause might have been left out in later versions of the law.) Both of these verses are from the Old Testament, which Christians mostly use for cultural context, as Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses during his ministry. Most Christians take laws that only appear in the Old Testament as historical, but no longer consider them doctrine. Also, the culture of Old Testament believers was significantly different and so applying these laws to todays Christians doesn’t account for then assive cultural differences. (For example, Exodus 22:18, right after the passage above says “18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” Which has been used out of its cultural context to justify actual witch hunts!) In conclusion, both versions of this historical law are considered superceded by most modern Christians.

Sometimes you just want to try something new, even if it’s just for yourself. If you like it, you can keep doing it. If not, you gained valuable life experience.

I can access it over my VPN. I was mostly surprised that KYM would use an IP ban, and the wording of the notice was amusing.

Here’s the email I sent them:
Greetings,
I have been informed by your charming and informative page that my IP address, 208.67.[redacted] has been banned. I live in an apartment complex with a complex provided network for internet. It is due to these unfortunate circumstances that I share an IP address with an individual which has behaved in a way deemed worthy of IP ban.
Please consider unbanning this IP address as it is shared by a minimum of 192 tenants.
Thanks for your time,

- Comment on Can it take months to get over being laid off? 3 weeks ago:
I got fired for being late with no written warnings. They walked me off the campus and everything. I was basically in tears. (In hindsight, they probably didn’t need me anymore, and didn’t want to give me notice. They probably also wanted me to be able to claim unemployment.) I was emotionally wrecked for months, even after I got a new job. The good news for me is that about 6 months after I got fired, I met the woman who would become my wife. We are now happily married. Keep on keeping on, friend!

My doctor screened me for mild depression (I had a major life change recently) and we were able to improve it with some basic lifestyle changes and a vitamin D supplement. Everyone is different, but the solution they propose isn’t always medication.

Only the Jedi speak in absolutes. Plenty of activists have made an impact without being intersectional. Some of them singlehandedly. Intersectional efforts are effective too, but voices are voices. Just my 1 am thoughts

People hear that it’s a higher paying office job that has a low barrier for entry, not realizing that continuing education and constant learning are mandatory. If you don’t have a passion for it, you struggle.
