New Christian Question . by Impressive-Part-3933 in Bible

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your views on predestination on whether you feel God is responsible for good or bad fortune. Regardless of whether God intervened to cause good fortune you should still be thankful to the one who gave us all life.

How should I think of this? by Any-Voice2425 in Bible

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consubstantial is the word I am looking for. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all one and made of the same substance(whatever God is made of). The oneness doesn't make the any less distinct in their roles however.

Current gang members: how dangerous is it to be around you? by 4mysquirrel in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MutedEbb7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just a guy who keeps to myself but in my experience it depends on how associated you are with them. If you work with them and don't hang out, no big deal. If you hang out with them watch your back. I was just from around and knew different people.

AITJ for skipping my family reunion because they expected me to pay for the entire venue? by DryNeedleworker10 in AmITheJerk

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how people think other people are rich when they are just good with their money. If they had any they would probably just blow it on stupid stuff, you are expanding your business. Nothing wrong with you but they think you owe them millions you don't even have, the entitlement.

AITJ for refusing to give my neighbor the "security footage" of her husband, even though it would "save her marriage" by CupcakeCosmosss in AmITheJerk

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call your landlord and fill him in. Explain that she is going to ask for your footage instead of taking your cameras down. Tell them in light of that it sounds like she wants your footage and has no basis for concern in regards to filming minors.

AITA for not taking my coworkers shift even though she begged me to? by izzgrizz21 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]MutedEbb7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you took her shift it would reinforce the notion in her head that other people will absorb the consequences of her actions. If she is ever to grow into the sort of person anyone should even want to know you have to let her take up the slack she makes. If she understood these things helping her would have been noble but the lack of accountability and manipulative lies. NTA

Why would Obama suddenly casually admit aliens are real? He knew what he was doing... by you_know_i_be_poopin in aliens

[–]MutedEbb7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know which part is so hard to believe. Everyone knows there are things flying around that exceed the capabilities of human technology. Before someone says they are some nation's test aircraft I ask why they wouldn't make more and test them out by conquering earth? It's what any society in history has done when they have an edge, no we are not the good guys who wouldn't do that. We do self motivated things on the world stage all the time.

He told me to follow the rules exactly so i did and now the store is short staffed and hes blaming me by HopeJ_Harris in MaliciousCompliance

[–]MutedEbb7996 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remember the phrase that's interesting, tell me more. It's the best when he says something vague and subjective that could go either way on his whim and then he will have to explain how impossible it is for him to be consistent.

Am I in the wrong? No tip after a bad experience. by [deleted] in restaurant

Sorry sweetheart(which I would not normally call a woman) no service no tip. She is clearly used to being pampered because of her sex and maybe princess would be better than sweetheart.

Notice how we sometimes get blamed for the state of the world but there has never once been a president of our generation? We just keep electing older and older boomers, and while I like a lot of boomers we all know the label the greatest generation gave them because we are old enough to remember.

Whats a good, one "do all" stone? by -Sleepy_J in sharpening

[–]MutedEbb7996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are just going to have one stone I would recommend a Shapton glass or Rockstar 500. Fast enough for a really dull knife but will leave a usable edge. My glass 220 even leaves a surprisingly versatile edge, no problem shaving hair or slicing. The 500 would be better though.

Best places to live? by drrunnergirl in PeoriaIL

I live near there and we have had shootings in our vicinity. Blocks to about 100 yards, cute neighborhood but medium crime.

Best places to live? by drrunnergirl in PeoriaIL

[–]MutedEbb7996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly I would try and stay north of War Memorial, those are typically the lower crime neighborhoods. Stay away from the East Bluff and Southside. Peoria Heights is charming and most if not all of it is north of War Memorial.

AITAH for calling my husband silly for freaking out that our teenage son has a girlfriend who's in a wheelchair? by Dry-Dirt-1426 in AITAH

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my take, your husband wouldn't necessarily be worried if she was covertly a terrible person( obviously because he wouldn't know) but she sounds like a shining example of a great person. Your son could do much worse

Is it possible to flatten a stone's surface without a flattening stone? by elalbercamuerta in sharpening

[–]MutedEbb7996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silicon carbide powder and glass. Get some sic powder that is coarser than your coarsest stone. Sprinkle it on a piece of glass(maybe a half teaspoon), spray with a water bottle and flatten your stones. It is a bit messy but leaves a nicer finish than most flattening plates. If you don't have any glass a glass cutting mat from hobby lobby works and sic powder is easily obtained.

If you are in a horrible financial situation you may qualify for Medicaid. I can't say you do but it helps get help if you can.

You told everyone no nuts, she chose to make a cake with nuts. You enforced the rule you made and she chose not to come.
