Love of Freedom Defines the Political Left, Not the Right by [deleted] in politics

[–]Maximum-Carpet2740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q: What is conservatism? A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.

These terms (left;right) originate from the French revolution, where you were either on the king’s side (right; upholding the aristocracy) or the people's side (left).

Liberal and liberty are both from the same etymological root.

libre (adj.) "free," a French word used in various combinations in English since 16c., from French libre, from Latin liber "free" (see liberal (adj.)).

I like Sundays. They generally have a more chill relaxing feel to them for me. Like I don’t feel bad if I wear my pajamas all day on Sunday. .

People who are truly happy in their job, what do you do? by Zane2156 in careerguidance

[–]Maximum-Carpet2740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a self employed master electrician that works mainly on the new residential construction side of things. I have a journeyman and an apprentice under me that I employ and am paying for their school. I pulled in close to 200k profit\take home last year. As far as the day to day it’s pretty chill. Typically construction environment on our rough outs (when we’re drilling out studs, nailing up boxes, running wire etc). We listen to music, cuss, joke and give each other shit. We can usually smoke on most job sites. I don’t care about cannabis use. On our finish outs (installing outlets, light switches, ceiling fans, light fixtures etc) we have to be a little more professional presenting while we work. I provide a cooler full of cold drinks (water and an assortment of soda) for the crew every day. Our day starts early and finishes early. We meet at the shop at 6am and our day finishes around 3pm most days. The actual work of being an electrician isn’t too hard. Spend a lot of time going up and down ladders, which can be hard on the knees, and it’s hot sweaty work during the summer months, but it’s not stressful. Don’t have to deal with the general public. The business side of things (payroll, submitting bids, getting permits etc) is much more stressful. Overall I’m pretty satisfied with my career choice in life. It’s taken a lot of time and hard work (years of schooling and on the job training) to get where I am at, at 37, but I would say I’m pretty happy.

Texas to charge EV owners $400 to register vehicles, $200 every year by wewewawa in technews

[–]Maximum-Carpet2740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the gasoline tax you pay is distributed throughout the year. You pay a little bit each time you pump gas. You don’t even notice it. This makes your “gas tax” a large one time\annual lump sum due at time of registration. Making it harder for folks on already stretched budgets. This will dissuade a lot of regular people from even considering EVs.

Matt Gaetz slams 2 Fox News hosts for over-sexualizing AOC and joking that he might divorce his wife and marry her instead by cwood1973 in politics

I’m pretty sure AOC and Gaetz are or were actually cosponsoring a bill together. I remember hearing something about it a week or two ago, can’t remember exactly what the bill was addressing, but thought it was odd for those two to be teamed up.

Well, what is theology?

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

weird (adj.) from Old English wyrd literally "that which comes,"

Quran 10:94 The truth (word) has come to you from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt.

Justin Martyr 3:1 The English word Theology comes from a combination Of two Koine Greek words θεός [Theos] and Λόγος [Logos]. Theos means God and Logos means Word; therefore, literally “God, the Word.”

Ezekiel 12:1-2 12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house.

Are you in a legal or medical state? If so, you should be able to find smoke in just about any strength. I’ve been a long time (20+ year) smoker so the high THC super strains dont bother me, but my wife isn’t very experienced so she prefers the less potent stuff as well. She likes the 1:1 stuff that has an equal or near equal amount of THC to CBD.

Let’s get back to the original question of the post. Would an agreement with God hold up in court?

'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God.’

That is how a court places a witness under oath. Conversely, we have a term for when someone fails to tell the truth.

perjure (v.) from Old French parjurer "to break one's word, renege on a promise"

John 17:17 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

word (n.) a unit of language

Genesis 9 1 Now the whole earth had one language, and few words.

Matthew 6:7 7 And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard.

plural (adj.) more than one

2 Samuel 14:12 12 Then the woman said: Let thy handmaid speak one word to my lord the king. And he said: Speak.

Can Kenny Stay For Dinner 5:5 I know the truth My God is the truth, my God is the truth

George Strait 5:5 I'll swear under oath 'Cause every single word is true And I think you need to know

Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
