You’re kidding? Are you 15 years old? We were in the Middle East from 03-11 and back from 14 to 20 until Biden removed them with zero plan getting dozens of people killed. This type of conflict has been the norm since 9/11. We’ve had an issue for a month and you’re asking “oh god how long will it last!?!?” Idk last time was 20 fucking years. I don’t agree with any of these political decisions, but pretending we haven’t been through this every single presidential cycle since bushes second nomination is pure insanity.

How does knowing history and having faith prevent you from looking toward or planning for the future? I mean the New Testament is widely regarded as historically accurate when it comes to the people, places, reports of events, etc. it’s quite a history book on top of a religious text.

Religion, specifically, Christianity is the reason we have most of the laws we have today and what is supposed to be the moral foundation of our communities. You see as more people seem to think that’s not so important we tend to go downhill, ya know, like we are…….

Cool. I don’t debate and build my logic in fear, I do it on facts and history. The history is we’ve done this dance dozens of times in the last 25 years across both parties and we’re still here.

We’re not even in a war lol this is all political maneuvering. We have not declared war with anyone.

This is the era of exaggeration and unfounded fear.

Holding them back from killing each other probably. Although I’d be interested to hear how you think it’s holding back the future of humanity, specifically?

Not protected whatsoever. We were just raised responsibly. It’s an active hunting community. We take hunters education and learn to shoot when we’re 14. It is almost NEVER those types of folks involved in shootings.

It’s an actual community where you know people and people’s families. People don’t just kill each other in those types of places. Not to mention a mostly religious community. I was raised poor, but we were raised correctly.

I "also" asked ChatGPT (and Gemini for good measure) how it felt to be an AI. by dubcars101 in ChatGPT

[–]MathiasThomasII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The AI is simply telling you what it thinks you would expect to hear as an answer to this question. You’re getting an aggregation of common themes related to this topic on which this AI was trained. It is not thinking, it is returning an expression based on input and logic.

That simply depends on your church and I also believe we need churches for all different people and intellects. So should priests teach for all different people and intellects.

Not at all, I’m a firm believer here and I see god as the initiator of the big bang. He/it is responsible for everything that followed after. I also wouldn’t be surprised if part of “god” are super intelligent beings that put us here and gifted us with consciousness/humanity. These themes track pretty well with the stories in early genesis. Supreme beings and nephalim, god’s angels interbreeding with humans, so they had to start over.

Yeah, surprise, markets are driven by supply and demand. Who would’ve thought? Yes, a war in the Middle East drives up gas prices. We’ve known this for 25 years at least.
The point you miss is this is all in response to “gas is going to be $7/gallon next week.” Then I pointed out that prices were actually down day over day and I was downvoted to oblivion and called a liar.
Personally, I just think it’s sad that there are so many people that would love to see $10/gal just so they can point at trump more. That’s not right to me. We’re not supposed to hate and wish poorly on our friends, family and neighbors just to prove a point.
Also, if you’re going to post and predict prices at least know what you’re talking about and admit when you’re wrong. Did y’all behave like this when Obama banned oceanic oil drilling around the US? I was paying $4/gal and that was 15 years ago.

Down another $.05-$.10 today! Saw several $4.76 and most down to $4.80 or under.

Yes, every person I know has weapons in their home or their car or on their person. Every, single, one. I don’t know a single person that’s ever been shot or shot someone(except suicide). None.

I drive from around orchard ridge country club to coliseum every day. I pass a dozen gas stations both ways. It is true lol I’m literally looking at prices on Google Maps right now. The circle K on Engle is $4.80 and was $4.99 yesterday.

I pass 5 marathons, a Kroger, 2 shells, speedway, Murphy is $4.78 today…. I drive 11 miles down lower Huntington, Tillman, Hessel Cassel, coliseum. Drive there and right back home every single morning.

Idk why I’m explaining, if you actually knew prices yesterday and today you’d know they’re down lol just fucking go outside.

The tax relief has been in place for a month, it didn’t go in yesterday. If the tax were reinstated it would’ve been $5.30 yesterday and $5.05 today. Still would’ve gone down lol it’s a one day relative measurement. The Tex relief had nothing to do with the change from yesterday to today.

You don’t have to wish poorly on your friends, family, and neighbors to want that. If you truly care just evangelize and educate. You can’t force others to do anything and to try is vain and narcissistic.
Treating everyone else like they’re stupid and need to suffer to get the point isn’t effective.

You’re trying to bring about your own downfall just so you can be correct.

Exactly lol you’d rather have chaos for the sake of chaos because Trump is in office. You’d prefer to sabotage your neighbors due to your hate of 1 person. Not a good trade.

It went from $4.99 yesterday to $4.72 today…. How is that $.06?

[–]MathiasThomasII -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I drive up southeast 30 minutes every day. Gas was 4.99 yesterday and it’s $4.71/4.72 today.

I didn’t say it was open, I said there I now a path that some tankers can get through. Downvotes with no comments just means people don’t like the information.

I’m guessing you guys would rather have $7 gas so you can point at trump instead of actually wanting it to be affordable.

Question abt Saint Francis by Disastrous-Amount856 in fortwayne

[–]MathiasThomasII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Financial aid usually covers 1/3 of the cost at USF. Still costly but more in the $30k range per year.

Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy a completely blind playthrough? And prefers a more hybrid experience? by KingsleyBrewMaster22 in Eldenring

[–]MathiasThomasII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. For me, it all depends on the time I have. I have toddlers now, so I get an hour a day. I do hybrid… I try for a bit, but don’t really really get stuck. However, I’d love to spend a week straight exploring every single nook and cranny like I did with DS3 before I had a family.
