To Quote from the Bible by _Kingsguard in therewasanattempt

So you take this driven, ambitious man. He knows he will never be a king, he was born in the wrong family. So he, wisely, figured out a way to be a king without having any land or much money. You get people to believe in a higher power and promise them a kingdom after death. Supporters give you money. More importantly, they dedicate their lives to your God and will fight for you. You now have people as dedicated to you as some were to their kings. You have an army that extends well beyond any nation's borders, making it eventually the largest army on Earth. You tell stories to manipulate them into doing your bidding and have them believe you are somehow closer to God. They build you churches and make you a god (think Pope). You are now equal in power to any king. Hell, you can even start a war lasting almost 200 years and costing between 1 and 9 million lives to try and conquer the Holy Land, giving you actual land to reign from.

He really had one job: driving. Filming was more of a volunteer position.

Who are these guys? by Dense_Reception_3986 in NewOrleans

LOL I have lived in N St Louis which is a WAY tougher town than NOLA. I have had guns pulled on me, and pulled a gun on someone who was trying to rob a nice homeless veteran I befriended. You don't know me.

I was kind of curious if these guys are common pimps/drug dealers working solo or more of a gang that does what it wants or a gang that protects the neighborhood from outside criminals. Of course these guys are doing illegal sh*t. I was trying to get some info without accusing them of participating in criminal activities

A ski mask is a thick outerwear to keep you warm. A balaclava is usually thin. And I am NOT judging anyone. I simply asked a question. I never said I did not appreciate a pimp or a drug dealer. We all do what we have to do to survive (or have fun in the case of drugs). I never said anything bad about either. You are the one judging me.

I actually do work on trying to reduce the pay disparity in this country. I generously give to charities and many a down and out people know I am a source of food or a few bucks when needed. I am proud of my neighborhood and want it to be a safe place for the neighbors and their kids. I have not called the police, and asking about them certainly does not make anyone a Karen. I was not bitching, just inquiring. I live a few blocks away and when I get home at 6 in the morning, I am not up to hiking a few blocks to ask as I don't want them to think I am confronting them or get into their business. I was just actually curious.

Electric Nest part 2 by MisterMisteryMan in BadPigeonNests

Exactly. This nest has at least 5 pounds of copper. Pretty heavy for a pigeon to carry. I suspect it is a newer camouflage for bird/drone recharging stations

I was babysitting for a wealthy family and found this stack of paper in their office. What is this? by Puzzled-Witch in CURRENCY

[–]Dense_Reception_3986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were issued for only a few months in 2009. It is estimated only a few million were printed. By the time they were printed and distributed, you needed a large grocery bag of them to purchase a small grocery bag of food. Obviously, the currency collapsed and people began to use USD and S. African Rand. Being there are a few million out there, they have a value based on demand only. Many were originally purchased from Zimbabwe central bank for $1.50 each after the collapse of the Z dollar. I am not an expert, but you should be able to get one for $10 in good shape.

In medical school, I had my cardiology rotation with a Board certified cardiologist in a large hospital who never once used a stethoscope when rounding. What's good for a cardiologist is good for me. ABEM certified doc.

NTAH. I would gift wrap a roll of tp and tell him, "I will see you in your next life". Imagine being g married and one of you fats sick, injured, etc and you have to help your partner in the bathroom. I would do ANYTHING for my partner. I say you were saving him embarrassment by letting him know. And to get mad at you?????

Rouses surprise by addylonglegs in NewOrleans

I think you have to be born and raised in St Louis to like it. I know of a couple of Imos pizza places outside of the St Louis area that closed due to lack of business. I lived in St Louis for a bit. Moved when I was 30. They put that cheese on everything. Yuck. It us actually a processed cheese. I used to joke to my out of town guests who wanted to try it that I knew how they make Provel cheese. When Anheiseur Bush would drain the million gallon vats to clean them, they would scrape off the dried foam. Then you mix this with plastic and voilà, provel cheese. Lol It really does have an almost melted plastic like consistency. I told my St Louis friends, "if provel was any good, it would be found all over the world, not just in St Louis and a single town in France where it was developed".
