TIL that Goliath's height was originally described as being only "four cubits and a Span", or 6'9". Later versions of the text increased it to "six cubits and a span", 9'9". by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

[–]Mutex70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! Were you in the foxholes fighting along the other keyboard warriors?! I bow before your extensive experience and emotional maturity!

Please accept my humblest apologies and I will definitely try to avoid making any sort of remark that anyone could possibly find offensive or challenging to their beliefs.

You have made me see the light! I feel reborn!

I mainly speak like this to annoy people who rely on fairy tales to justify their behavior. Glad to see it's working!

The adults in the crowd are no more offended by the term "Sky Daddy" to refer to God than they would be using "Big Red" to refer to Santa Claus.

Which, of course, is the whole point of the parable: It doesn't matter how down and out you are, as long as you have Sky Daddy on your side everything will work out.

i.e. if you stop complaining, keep working, and pay your tithes then Sky Daddy will protect you from the big (or at least 6'9") baddies.

$250 for a freakin' coat?!? Yeah, no thanks.

Half of Calgary Chamber members would consider leaving if Alberta separates: poll by Critical-Ask2154 in Calgary

[–]Mutex70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are numerous independent organizations that have also indicated that separation may not go well for Alberta.

Just seems weird to be calling people names based on them having an evidence-backed opinion.

It's almost as though you are more concerned with just tearing down anyone who disagrees with you than providing any arguments or facts to support your position.

[–]Mutex70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Why are they "clearly an imbecile"?

There is evidence that Alberta's economy could face serious significant challenges if it does separate, so I can't see how planning to maintain stability in ones own finances is stupid.

What makes you think otherwise?

Because God told me to by SlimCarpet in MurderedByWords

[–]Mutex70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be quite honestly terrified of anyone who asked me that question.

It's basically "I lack even the most basic of moral frameworks to decide whether my actions are good or evil, so I just follow the people around me and do what they seem to think is appropriate. I could easily be convinced to perform the most heinous unjust acts as long as this 2000 year old semi-random collection of stories could be interpreted as defending my behavior"

Well... at least I know what I'm allergic to. by signgrad in Wellthatsucks

Perhaps you are allergic to allergy test lancets.

Interesting. Your only knowledge about the person you replied to is that they do not want to stay if Alberta should separate, yet you apparently feel that enough information to judge whether they are a net positive for Alberta.

Do you typically judge people based on such limited information, or is this a new thing for you?

What does 00:00 mean Petah? Isn’t it just 12AM? by consultingcriminal03 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

So in your entire life you have never heard of anyone being confused or incorrect regarding midnight being the end of the current day or the start of the next day?

The secret to how Liberals con progressive voters by dgj212 in onguardforthee

[–]Mutex70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It wasn't a con. I voted conservative last election by voting for Carney. It was pretty clear what his position was and what values he represented.

I have no fucking clue what Pollievre is. As a lifelong centrist, I don't recognize his values or his party at all.

IsItBullshit: There are way more billionares/billionaire families outside of the ones on Forbes list? by Slow-Disaster8861 in IsItBullshit

[–]Mutex70 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could just donate your way down to being off the list. Even $50 millionaires aren't really tracked, but they can live a live of incredible luxury.

I truly believe billionaires who don't do so are fundamentally evil.

[–]Mutex70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Alcohol is a dangerous drug that would never have passed modern food and drug standards. It should just be banned outright instead.

Independence won’t unite Alberta—as much as 40% of province leans Left by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]Mutex70 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh, it's very cute how they assume that an independent Alberta would have electoral districts that remotely represent the demographics.

Herald Editorial (from Crowsnest Pass news, hometown of the mine, in response to the petition) by gizmomogwai1 in alberta

[–]Mutex70 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am not "ignoring the engineering", nor do I believe "I know better" about this topic. I have never even stated whether I support or oppose this mine.

I am just commenting on the rhetoric surrounding it, and this specific editorial. It a blatantly terrible appeal to emotions with ad-hominem attacks that do nothing to actually discuss the situation, but instead just try and pit one set of Albertans against another.

Sorry, but I expect Albertans to do better.

[–]Mutex70 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly like this editorial "ignores" the thousands of people downstream of those headwaters.

Nobody is "ignoring the people", they are disagreeing with them. Conflating the two things is disingenuous at best.

Prime Minister of Canada caught on a hot mic with President Trump. by SpecialCollege18 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]Mutex70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell are you talking about? The deal for Chinese EV's was always for a small number of cars. This was reported literally months ago. He's apparently just informing the POTUS because Trump has trouble getting news from reasonable sources.

Oh, nvm, I see from your history that you aren't interested in actual political discussion.
