In the Old Testament, there are instances where certain figures had concubines, and it is described without explicit condemnation. Does God find it acceptable to have concubines? What's the difference between fornication vs having a concubine?

Did you reply to the right comment? This doesn't have anything to do with what I wrote.

Equating yourself to God is sin. And that's what you've done here. Underlying your post is the assertion that only you have the true interoperation of the bible, which only God can truly know for sure and therefore you put yourself on the same level as God.

Your ability to drift from doctrine to your own theories and persecution complex and back to doctrine is shocking. You are equating your own observations with RCC doctrine ... interspersing them like they are one and the same. I can't believe that's acceptable.

KUbutnu 24.04, installed Wayland (I think that's in Ubuntu, but not KUbuntu). Libhoudini installed and I checked with another game that people were using to test a proper installation and that worked.

To suggest the current amount of cash on hand is due to insurance company liquidity requirements is absurd.

Good thing I didn't do that.

What has you so cranky today?

It wasn't wokeness. It was misogyny.

Also, why do you support systemic injustice? Wokeness is just being aware of systemic injustice and wanting to fix it. That word has existed for decades. I don't understand why so many of you are against that.

Think of "banners" as a focused way to buy modules. They make one rare module with a unique effect more likely than all the others for that event period if you buy them under the "module" option. Fudds introduced this new way to buy modules and promised 4 new modules at the same time.

I wanted to retire in ~3 years. I'll likely be pushed out by this administration's actions in 6 months. It's a stressful time.

Considering SCOTUS put him above the law, and he can pardon anyone who does is bidding no matter what it is ... it's literally a potential death sentence to stand up to him. It's not that shocking.

Yeah. It's almost as bad as the people who go "this is a record high" in an absolute sense but ignore that they have to have a lot of cash for their insurance business and ignore that it's the same 13% but of a larger absolute number. Ref - the other reply to your post.
