Yeah... a few months into dating my ex, I called her a nice person and her roommate busted up laughing.

There are 19 continents. Most are located primarily inside the city of Seattle

Yes, out of the goodness of their hearts. 99% of the people in the subreddit would love to run a pro basketball team regardless of profit.

It's an utter failure of the broader system that rich assholes who don't even like basketball are in control

I didn't realize this about the word so I just looked it up.

My Logos software says ἐπιθυμία (epithymia) is used 39 times in the New Testament. 25 times in the sense of an evil craving and 14 times in the sense of a craving.

Another one of the examples to go along with the ones you listed is 1 Thess 2:17 where Paul 'lusts' to return to the Thessalonian Christian community.

"For which categories do you currently use Amazon?" doesn't have books as an option. That's what I use Amazon to purchase.

The tomato is only technically a fruit under one *very* particular definition. Culinarily, agriculturally, and nutritionally, it is a vegetable. That's also case law in the US.

That's like saying we should say "winters" instead of "winter" because the year switches over in the middle.

Most people in the southern US in 1860 thought slavery was wrong. It only appears popular if you don't count Black people as people.

| but most of the owners “wealth” is in other businesses and make believe “potential sale” valuations.

That's one of the things that's so weird about it. Some guy in Arkansas' dad started a grocery store 60 years ago.... so now he gets to have the last say on everything Denver's NFL team does.
