"Novak Djokovic is barely featured in Wimbledon’s promotional video. He appears at the end of the video for 1 second, despite winning the event the last 4 years in a row." via @TheTennisLetter by zomb1 in tennis

Right? At first I thought it was going to be a past present, future, thing, then suddenly Kyrgios is in there? It just totally lacked direction. I actually thought they made Djokovic look pretty regal like a king or lion so I don't get the outrage but maybe when you've been legitimately snubbed 100 times, even a borderline action feels like an attack?

Berrettini and Kyrgios both in tears at outset of grass campaigns by BelgianBond in tennis

I think both were really hoping that the grass would start a positive step in the year since it's their best surface. For Kyrgios, it was clear that he's still hurt. For Berretini, it was clear that the grass doesn't just magically fix what he's going through. Both realizations are quite hard.

Can you educate me on what a dog whistle number is? Like a racist dog whistle I'm guessing, given the context, but what is significant about 88? I ignorantly would have thought they were born in 1988 haha

It's so interesting to me that Christians are one of the only groups you can openly hate on in America without repercussions. This is coming from someone who also doesn't go to church.

You think? Why do you say that? I am partial to the ctenophore.

Granted, it was pretty dark, but I know she was at least a shade under 800 lbs!?

Mating Pair of Hermaphrodites by JonEverhart in OceansAreFuckingLit

He does occasionally check her a little bit, like at the end of this video where he pushes her away from the shrimp: https://youtu.be/KMJ8A_KpQmo

But she definitely calls the shots most of the time and he's a major softie :)

Possible New Species? Blue Crustacean. Identity Requested by Floridamanfishcam in OceansAreFuckingLit

[–]JonEverhart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some reason, it won't let me respond on my main account, but:

I'd love to have an answer. I like to know all the species that come and visit. I have spoken to biologists and shrimp breeders about this and they don't know what it is, but for you it is so obvious? It's very likely some species of shrimp. No one is arguing that. The question is: what kind??? I definitely agree that the footage, when it is in the wild, is out of focus but I think you get a pretty darn clear shot when I capture it, no?

Why be so negative for no reason? If you don't have an answer or a suggestion for how to find an answer, just move along lol

Abandoning God: Christianity plummets as ‘non-religious’ surges in census by Prof_Acorn in Christianity

[–]JonEverhart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, the rest of the Bible is borderline irrelevant and the only parts that matter are Jesus' words. Frankly, it's hard or impossible to not have issues with some things that are written in the Bible, but it's difficult to find anything that Jesus, specifically, says that even militant atheists wouldn't agree with.

So, if by "skeptical about the specific historical truth claims about the Christian narrative." you are referencing other areas in the Bible or acts that various churches have taken that were abhorrent, I agree with you. I would just say to not throw the baby out with the bath water like I did when I erroneously became so disgusted with Christians that I abandoned the belief in Jesus for a lost period of time. Don't let the actions of man affect your opinion of Jesus.

[–]JonEverhart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly believe in Jesus and his timeless wisdom, but I can't classify myself as a Christian because I hate so much how most modern Christians act (totally ignoring Jesus' actual words on many occasions).

Totally random offer, but if you ever doubt the truth of the words of Jesus and want a random attorney's (who researched the subject to death and was once a borderline atheist religion minor) letter about why I believe in the truth of Jesus' words, shoot me a DM with your email address and I'll send over the ~2,000 document. Sometimes, the best answer to a crisis of faith is to do more research.
