- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 1 day ago:
In Houston, some days there isn’t a cloud in the sky, then it rains like 2 inches over 30 minutes and then it goes back to clear skies and the water evaporates making the air sticky. Goes from perfect to drenched to perfect to a totally different kind of drenched in an hour’s time. Also the drivers all lose their minds when the weather changes. So all the time… I guess.

Excellent food and a good cultural mix of people. Melting pot of America for sure. Awful heat though. I left there years ago. Though I return to visit old friends.

Holy shit you are pinning my exact experience. I grew up in Fresno CA and have never even seen a red pistachio in my life.

I just don’t believe that at all. The power the US holds has long faded into a shadow of its former self. I’m not even sure Trump could convince BB of the best breakfast spot in manhattan. Regardless of what the POTUS wants to happen in the Middle East, the Middle East will continue to do its thing.

Left-hand side is like saying your left, not mine. You could also say on your left but then again, English has lots of ways to say lots of things.

This is just not true… Tuna fish is the stuff in a can. Tuna filet is a filet of tuna. Tuna is the live or freshly caught fish from the ocean. Anything not actually made of tuna is imitation tuna or tuna flavored or artificial tuna.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 1 week ago:
But also, what’s wrong with having any of those things? I’d argue it’s better to have those things with less developer crunch. We don’t need children to for “attachments” to video game franchises. That just breeds loyalty to corporations. We need games that are developed with love and care by developers who treat their employees and customers humanely. Whatever that looks like, we want that.

Interesting considering I can save as a PDF while offline
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 2 weeks ago:
It’s really not… There are several pretty straightforward ways to do it and they’re all pretty old standards. Save as > select PDF as the file type. Or if you have Adobe Reader/Acrobat installed, word has a button right under save as that says Save As Adobe PDF. Or you can print to PDF using the Adobe print function in the printers. Lastly windows has a built in PDF printer by default. All of these work pretty damn reliably. If you can’t save a PDF from a word doc, it’s either your computer or you.

Frys electronics is a good bet too they’re a more recent shutdown that might be more relevant than a blockbuster or toys r us

No the average is much much higher than 10 out of 10 all because of Caleb.

Trump wants a war though. It’s how he intends to stay in power. He either becomes a god emperor or takes the country down with him.
- Comment on Millions and millions and… 1 month ago:
Worth to you is different than worth to the market of buyers. Clearly people feel it is worth more than what they are buying it at because they are buying it quickly without negotiation having anticipated a higher price. The highest bidder determines what a commodity is worth.

Lenses distort features at different focal lengths without any filtering. An extreme example is fish eye lenses on action cameras.
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 months ago:
Your source says the same thing I said… The word soccer comes from abbreviating “association”. As in association football.
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 2 months ago:
That’s not true… Soccer is what some of the english called it and that was an abbreviation of association football. It has always been football and for a short time in one place it was soccer in england and then it was football again everywhere. It came to the US as soccer and never changed. But it was always football.

Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.
- Comment on Amazing 2 months ago:
Want some help? It’s intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that’s how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)
Here’s another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that’s probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 3 months ago:
All instances of combat in Dishonored are completely optional in Dishonored. It’s actually one of the built in challenges of the game that you are rewarded for. Beating the game with out ever being seen is called Ghost and beating it with zero kills is called Pacifist.

How other people chose to use the scripture is not within my control. I just wanted to point out the context. I also pointed out in my OP that I am a former member of the church.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
It’s funny, it is in fact up for debate which texts are divinely inspired as all the major churches have different canonizations around the world. Lots of crossover obviously, but plenty of questions about what should and shouldn’t be in the Bible.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
That’s not at all what that person said. Also I may be wrong but I think that person is making a joke.
I didn’t say the book of Timothy was not Divine Inspiration. I said Divine Inspiration is not God taking over the body of a man to write his thoughts down for us. Instead, Divine Inspiration is more akin to teaching that have God’s stamp of approval.
If you want an interesting topic to search around though, look into canonization of scripture. Churches all around the world have different books that are regarded as canon and divinely inspired. The Bible is not as straightforward as any church would have you believe.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
You’re missing my point entirely and focusing on one sentence. What I’m saying is that these letters were alleged to be intended for Timothy from Paul and when taken in context, provide a good few recommendations on how to conduct a ministry.
This specific passage is not a directive to all churches at all times or even to all women in all places. This passage is specific to the area of Ephesus where culturally, people fuck a lot. It’s what they do and they are proud about it. Timothy was sent there to help a church which had struggled with the cultural sexuality and Paul says more or less “Those people are all horny, let’s not put women in front of them and risk tempting them sexually.” It was not to say “all women should hide away and shut up.” Like it might seem outside of the passages context.

The Torah is just the first 5 books of the old testament.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
The verse is meant to be taken, as with all things in literature, in context, to be applied to how to conduct a ministry. This passage is to say that if your ministry is in a place that sexualizes women culturally and that is a distraction for your congregation, do not sexualize women in a way that would distract them from your message. It is applicable to people other than Timothy, but the letter alleges to be written for Timothy in Ephesus originally.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
Divine inspiration is not God taking over the body of man to write some words down. Despite what atheist on the internet want you to believe, religious scholars are still scholars and do have quite a high bar for intelligent discussion.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
Because the overall letters do actually inform how to run a church in context. I.e. don’t use sex and sex appeal to attract attention for your church.
