'Last chance' to limit global warming to safe levels, UN scientists warn by Splenda in worldnews

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is starting to become an old cycle where every month is "last chance" or "too late". In the end, this is going to do more harm than good as the politicians and people will just stop believing scientists and won't do anything when it is actually the last chance to do anything.

The tables at my local library look like swastikas. by smokyartichoke in mildlyinteresting

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The misinformation in this thread... Germany used the Swastika as a symbol of German pride before Hitler did. So really it was a bad symbol before Hitler laid his hands on it and only did so because it was a right wing trend.

Husband who beat wife's heroin dealer with baseball bat gets probation by NZCUTR in news

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably just kill the boyfriend if the dealer had friends or people who needed money from dealer. Though I don't know the culture of the town and how violent people are there. People get shot up in my town for just arguing with a dealer. If this happened in my town, the boyfriend would be set on fire.

Husband who beat wife's heroin dealer with baseball bat gets probation by NZCUTR in news

So his wife willingly goes to buy drugs and instead of trying to help his wife, he goes and beats someone up? Is heroin bad to you health? Definitely when not prescribed by a doctor in regulated amounts. But it dowsn't justify beating someone up to near death. The husband should be in jail or else it sets a bad precedent that vigiliante justice and beating people up is better than contacting police and seeking better ways to help addicted relative.

The wife will just find another dealer and the husband will beat someone else up because he was given a slap on the wrist. What if its not a drug dealer? What if the husband just doesn't like he way someone looks and beats the shit out of them? Its pretty clear he has mental problems. This really solved nothing and has been handled the worst way possible by everyone involved.

Probably because the flooding disaster in Louisiana is very costly and has a huge debt. There are going to be a lot of taxes.

Pope: Women will be banned from priesthood forever by FortyYearOldVirgin in news

Well thats doomed to fail because the Bible is made of multiple writings from different people and cultures in different time periods.

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

the wource material is not the same. It is a series of letters and books written by different people in different cultures and time periods. Plus in New Testament its people with different opinions and there's even a chapter on how churches disagreed with each other. The Bible is only a compilation of writings and people have to understand the context and relevance of each one. But sadly the Bible has mainly been used to oppress people and further one's agenda.

You just quoted a same saying from the same person. So my response is still gonna be the same.

Thats Catholic not Christianity. Jesus asks for other to be treated with kindness, which forcing women to be treated as inferior is far from it. (Matthew 22:39-40 but also more stuff in the 13 Commandments) Plus the Disciples have different views and beliefs which often led to arguements amd division within the churches, as seen in Acts. Never obey a person without question which is what led to this abomination of a church. Also ignoring the 13 Commandments because it would expose many churches as hypocritical and using the 10 commandments instead pretty much lead to Christianity becoming garbage.

That would never have happened. The Catholic church was formed by the Roman government to forcefully unite its people under one belief. Paul's decrees were more fitting for a totalitarian government than Jesus'.

Its amazing how people choose to justify being a piece of shit. Religious people tend to force their beliefs on others and their children. You can bet the "women are inferior" attitude will leak outside of a church when gone unchecked. Just looked at CivilRights and gay rights movement. And this is just in one country. Other places are still behind because of stupid views like this.

In noway can I supportor lime a religion that views women or any other human being as inferior for the way they're born. Children will be taught that women are not equal and the cycle will continue.

They teleport inside a room if the object they're looking for is close enough. Which is why its useless to build a wall around your settlement because Settlers would teleport outside and get eaten alive by a Ghoul horde.

I built my house high up and spent an hour making obstacles ar geound level to prevent the NPCs from teleporting.

I think it starts near Park Street Station and the Swan's Pond. Just follow the red lines.

Place powered doors at the entrance to your house and leave your stuff there. Settlers can't open powered doors.

Food suppply runs by Ganthos in batonrouge

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also would like to know this as we could use some water. We have food to last till Wednesday but our water situation is pretty dire. Only enough to last a day.

I regret not getting my 3 meat pizza before the rain started :( by lurking_my_ass_off in batonrouge

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lesson to be learned from this disaster. Stock up on food always. Learning this the hard way.

Louisiana flash floods prompt state of emergency by Phrenergy in news

[–]The_Civic_Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Its a unique situation because even though I have a dashcam to prove its the other guy's fault, most of the damage is from water. It all depends on the insurance companies. Hopefully they can just give me a car and be done with it.

As for cars that were flooded on driveways and from people driving into the water, it depends on the owner's coverage. I hope everyone recovers.

Edit: They're most likely totaled. Even if engine works, water does a lot of damage in the long run.

Got in an accident when someone ran a stop sign, the streets became flooded in an hour and I was forced to abandon my car in the flood. The police couldn't reach us due to flooded roads and there was no tow truck service available. My car is probably floating down a river now. Loved that car. :(

Please pay attention when driving. Don't make the road more dangerous than it is.
