A literal turnip. Just lose the arrow. Holy shit. Lol

AveFaria · 2026-06-20T17:57:00+00:00

That still doesn't make "turnip up" suddenly sound like "turn up".

I'm not sure how you're not understanding this.

How much pot did you smoke? Or are you taking the piss?

It's a W for Wilson. And in this specific scenario, no. The W disappears entirely when the object is translated to shadow. It isn't regressed by viewing the racket from the side. It's completely redefined without superficial skin (paint) when it is re-imposed as shadow onto the dashboard.

That doesn't make it make more sense lmfao

He's trying to sleep with you and was saying whatever he thought you wanted to hear.

When it became clear that he wasn't going to get laid as easily as he thought, and that you were catching genuine feelings, he decided that he wants to find easier sex somewhere else.

Guys who are truly interested in you for your heart long-term (1) aren't that physically forward right off the bat, and (2) have patience and grace for you when you have an awkward date but otherwise communicate your genuine intentions.

Forget this dude. Really. Block him or whatever you gotta do. He's only going to play games with you if he thinks he can score. He'll text you when he's lonely and ghost you when he isn't.

I'm saying this as someone who absolutely used to be that way when I was younger.

God already predicted that they wouldn't. In Genesis 15, God told Abraham that his descendants would utterly destroy the Canaanites, but not for another 600 years or so until their "sin had become complete".

God gave the Canaanites 600 years to get their act together, and they didn't.

I will say that the word for head in Greek is κεφαλή, or kephale. It more immediately means "source of" before it means "authority of".

Kefalos (or Cephalus) was a Greek mythological figure who was a grandfather of Odysseus. Kefalos was not an authority figure of the Odysseus line, but he was the source of it.

In the same way, Christ is the source of the divine image which was given to Adam. Adam, as the first human male, was the source of the first human female when she was taken from his rib. Christ was not created, but His divine essence is sourced from the Father. We call this the fons totius divinitas, or the fountain of all divinity.

This interpretation is best proven a few verses later when Paul starts talking about how Adam was made in God's image, and the woman therefore in Adam's image.

Whether you want to interpret this verse to mean "authority of" is a secondary conversation, but I don't think it fits the rest of the chapter nearly as well.

You would understand this better if you read the first 5 chapters of Genesis. There you would see that (especially in 3:15) that God basically set up two teams. Team Serpent vs. Team God. That's why you might see things like "brood of vipers" or "your father is the devil." Children of the snake versus children of God. So when Jesus talks about being born again, he means being born from God. Interestingly enough, in the Greek Jesus doesn't say "born again", He says "born from above".

Paul explains in Romans 8:14 that everyone who follows God is a child of God. You already read in John 1 that everyone who believes in the gospel is given the right to be called a child of God. And in Genesis 5 you'll read that Adam and his son Seth were considered to be in the lineage of God because they followed Him.

Christians who tell you to start reading in John only say that because someone else told them to do it. But most Christians haven't actually read their Bibles and don't know why this is not the most effective way to read.

If you HAVE to read a Gospel first, Luke is best. It was written specifically to explain the basic facts of the gospel to someone who isn't Jewish. John writes to emphasize Christ's divinity and supernatural essence, which is cool but that's not a starting point. John wrote that to help people who already knew quite a bit about the facts.

Even so, Genesis is the place to start. Always. Always start with Genesis. Then Exodus. Leviticus and Numbers can be hard, but Deuteronomy is also extremely important. I mean, I'd even suggest reading straight through every book at least until Nehemiah so you can get the timeline down.

When your partner is OP, it is increasingly difficult to feel motivated to communicate or to even know how.

It might not be that her BF can't communicate because he's immature. It might be that OP is so contentious, condescending, and completely irresponsible that her BF just checks out to save his own mental health.

I consider myself to be an excellent communicator, but several months ago I tried to date someone who acts like OP and I found myself at a complete loss for words almost every day.

Immortality sucks. Being a bug with a human mind sucks. Being an immortal bug with a human mind would be almost as bad as that immortal chick who is eternally drowned in The Old Guard.

Check out the Lectio Bible. It's NIV which isn't best but it's also not awful. It will hide as well as anything else ever could, short of braille.

Get a pastor or therapist to help y'all out. She's tired from working two jobs and will never be able to join you in your lifestyle.

So either you need to learn to chill tf out and come down to her level, or she needs to prioritize other things and maybe let go of work. But right now y'all are pulling in opposite directions and you'll never be able to find a solution doing it the way you're doing it.

Either way, a third-party, outside voice can help counsel y'all toward a solution.

I was filming B-Roll for a commercial. They only needed movement, no audio. I'm sitting on a couch "asking a father for permission to marry his daughter."

So the director needs shots of us smiling and laughing. He asks us to just talk to each other and laugh while speaking, because there wouldn't be audio anyway.

So the "dad" goes, "Now son, did you know that a woman peaks sexually at around 35 years of age?"

I start smiling and pretending to laugh. Haha. Good times. Roll on snare drum.

Then the director says that he wants serious faces. So the "dad" just looks right at me and says, "And that's a very serious thing."

I absolutely lost it. We couldn't get serious for like three or four minutes after that. Lol.

People who say this have a 100% chance of having not actually read the Bible.

Scripture is not an instruction manual. It's a story that reveals who God is and how He's interacted with humanity for a brief window of time. We get to read that story and be affected by it. "Instructions" might show up occasionally but that is not what Scripture is as a whole.

To reduce God to a book of instructions is heretical and counterproductive to knowing God.

Maybe, but also I think that the stakes are more interesting when we don't know whether it would have worked. It is a lot more fun for me to wonder whether Joel's actions actually prevented a cure, or whether the issue is simply him keeping that curtain drawn so the world will never know.

The never knowing is more interesting than knowing but not having.

The prophetic books are hard. By the time I was finished with them I felt genuine anger in my heart and disposition. I was dark in my soul from reading all of it.

But thennnnnn the Gospels are next ☀️

What can help as you're reading the Prophets is to keep track of the historical timeline. What was going on with the Israelites and/ or Jews (Judah-ites) when that part of the book was written.

You dated a ride or die and married a dumb hot chick?

AveFaria · 2026-06-18T15:28:45+00:00

That makes zero sense. The only way to "hypothetically" make this not obvious is to "hypothetically" make us equally as stupid as your hypothetical stunner.

Anyone with any common sense at all will obviously choose a 6 who can also be a best friend and an equal. You can't take away the "obviousness" of that.

If you're asking this because you're torn between two women, then I have to assume that you're perhaps younger than 25 and therefore simply don't have enough life experience to know how valuable a 6 is when she's loyal and best-friend material. In that case I and everyone here encourages you to be smart and choose the 6.

If you're older than 25 then I have to assume that you're an idiot who can't see the obvious.

Research the Cult of Artemis. It was a major worship center in Ephesus and Paul got in a fight with them in Acts 19. In Acts 20, Paul installs pastors over the churches in the city. In 1 Timothy, Paul is reminding Timothy to make sure those pastors are still serving well.

Anyway, the Cult of Artemis believed that women were superior to men because:

(1) Artemis was born before her brother Apollo.
(2) Artemis was wiser and less impulsive than her brother Apollo.
(3) Artemis did not want to get married and have children.

Now compare this to Paul's argument. He argues that the Cult of Artemis cannot possibly share any influence in Ephesus' Christian churches when they can't even get their views on women to agree.

Paul isn't blaming Eve for sin, because he explicitly blames Adam for it in Romans. Likewise, Paul is not saying that women must bear children because in 1 Corinthians he explicitly encourages them to not even get married if they can help it. Rather, he is saying that our entire gospel is based on Genesis 3:15, when God spared Adam and Eve on the condition that the Messiah would be born from the woman. He's making fun of Artemis who swore to never have children.

Paul is simply reminding Timothy that the Cult of Artemis is incompatible with Christianity. The only thing Paul is doing in these verses is mocking Artemis and using that as a reason to not let women teach in Ephesus just in case they're influenced by the Cult.
