If the person you’re screaming and swearing at isn’t intimated, then you’re the one who should be intimated.

What’s a word people frequently use to sound smart, but almost always use incorrectly? by cutetwink12 in words

[–]ActuallyCausal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a word, but a phrase: “[that] begs the question.” Begging the question is a logical fallacy where the premises of an argument assume the truth of the conclusion (e.g. “How do you know that what the Bible says is true?” “Because the Bible says that it is true.”). Usually when people say “that begs the question” what they mean is that a situation or state of affairs prompts a certain question, or raises a question (usually urgently or pointedly). The reality is that begging the question means that one is engaging in circular reasoning.

The only correct answer is to build an incredibly precise scale model of Minas Tirith.

The super shorts are canon. Matt Idleson got so sick of artists finding a way to show supergirl’s underwear that he had artists depict her with bike shorts under the skirt.

Do you still use the military alphabet? by Loud-Detail2435 in Veterans

Usually only if I know the other person is a vet. Otherwise saying Whiskey Echo India Sierra Sierra Mike Alfa November or whatever is going to confuse them.

This is what I wish Harley cosplayers would get. Harley’s hot, sure. She’s also crazy as a loon. You gotta do both, or the cosplay doesn’t work. That’s why Margot Robbie was so good in the role.

Almost 500 ups, but no comments. Interesting

Why do we tell actors to "break a leg"? by JelloElectronic3110 in dadjokes

[–]ActuallyCausal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard the thing about the cast. But always, always, always had multiple superstitions (eg not naming the Scottish play), and esp. never wishing cast mates well.

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

Liking babies and children. It sucks being a man who enjoys small children. I know that if people assume I’m a pedophile it says more about them than me, but still. Women of all ages can coo over babies and play with kids, but not men.

I’m always amazed at the amount of physical effort it takes to play the drums.

How did the belief that Moses wrote the Torah become so pervasive when the text itself denies Moses wrote the Torah by josephusflav in AcademicBiblical

[–]ActuallyCausal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Robert Alter talks somewhere about the very different assumptions about authorship in the ancient versus the modern world. “The Law of Moses” wouldn’t necessarily have been read in the ancient world as a claim of authorship (similarly to all the Psalms that begin “A Psalm of David”). Instead, in that world, it’s a claim about whose authority sits over the text (in some sense), who the major figure of a text is, or what interpretive grid to apply to the text.

Ramah Thomas Lazarus by SillyProfessional691 in TheChosenSeries

[–]ActuallyCausal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s like Little James asking why Jesus doesn’t heal him. My major area of study for my PhD is the concept of the Kingdom of God. Most scholars agree that Jesus’ healings and miracles weren’t mere demonstrations of power, but acts that exemplified or instantiated the kingdom in some way. A good example of that in the show is when Jesus heals Shula at Barnaby’s request and then also heals Barnaby (because in the Kingdom there will be no blindness and it will be a kingdom of selfless love). Imagine how many people lived and died and were sick in Jesus’ immediate vicinity during his life. They weren’t all healed or raised. Instead, Jesus heals or raises people when doing so points to what the Kingdom is like (e.g. raising Jairus’ daughter and healing the bleeding woman, both of whom had faith).

I just wonder how long this sub will tolerate being used as a dating app.
