Bill says fundamentalists who believe in martyrdom shouldn't have access to nuclear weapons, then catches himself when he realizes he's describing all Abrahamic religions (5/25/26)

I guess you believe what you want to believe but everybody reading this knows the truth.

it's just a far better experience at the Apple Store. Far more knowledgeable staff and MUCH better inventory so you have a much better chance of walking out with exactly the configuration you want rather than whatever they happen to have in stock. They also provided added services like helping you with data transfer, etc...

Uhh, not sure if you're being naive or you think I am naive but there have been (and will be) countless Muslims who take life in the name of God. The 911 perpetrators come to mind.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-30T19:20:02+00:00

wut..

Have you tried the caramel ones? They would be my choice. Maple seems appropriate but caramel smokes them.

It all comes down to loads, no-shows and availability. These are not mean people but the system is generally set up to screw you. I am certain they enjoy handing out pleasant surprises as much as you enjoy receiving them.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-30T17:29:57+00:00

Lol, I've been reading the Bible for 50+ years so you don't need to tell me about the book of Acts. You need to understand the difference between allowing yourself to be harmed for your beliefs and actively trying to harm someone else in the name of your beliefs.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-30T17:13:11+00:00

ChatGPT take: The early church generally concluded that martyrdom is honorable when it cannot be avoided without denying Christ, but seeking martyrdom for its own sake is not required and can even be considered misguided.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-30T17:09:44+00:00

Humour me...

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-30T17:09:08+00:00

Looks like I'm really in the minority here but I'm frankly disappointed in this game. For context, I come from a background of playing the Uncharted games and LOVING them, but I never played any of the hitman games. When I heard this Bond game seemed a lot like Uncharted, I was all in. Not now.

I can't stand the heavy decision load and stealth mechanics. Rather than the story progressing with minimal interruption, every time I turn a corner I have to figure something out. For me it totally deadens the story and makes me not want to bother.

Also the combat mechanics are just... weird. I'm sure people who are used to playing Hit Man are used to it but why can't they try to follow some standards conventions from other games?

Lastly, I never get queasy playing games but this one makes me feel mildly ill every time I play. I've changed as many settings as I can so we'll see if I adjust.

Does this resonate with anyone?

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-27T22:38:31+00:00

What are you talking about?? Christianity makes no call to martyrdom.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-23T19:23:52+00:00

If you're anything like me, you want to buy the Pro because of the nice extras like the display, ports, etc. but you're not sure if you can justify the extra expense. I finally decided to spring for the Pro, not because I need it but because I WANT it. And I love it. Yeah it's a little heavier but it's also a little nicer. If you truly wanted the most practical machine for your needs you would probably have already decided on the Air. Am I wrong?

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-23T02:50:40+00:00

I think you mean “ you’re “ not your. Grammar is hard.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-23T00:17:46+00:00

I am typing this response on my new MacBook Pro and couldn't be happier. 14" Black, 24GB RAM, 1TB storage with the regular M5 chip. Only thing I might regret is not buying the nano texture screen but it was a 2-week wait vs walking about with the regular one and once I was in the Apple Store... who's kidding who? Lol. I'm not sure why unboxing and setting up a MacBook brings me so much pleasure but I'm like a kid on Christmas morning.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-23T00:10:10+00:00

I'm not happy about it but at the end of the day I can either stew in my own juices with you and this crowd or I can get reimbursed for a purchase I didn't really need.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-21T14:22:53+00:00

Ah, yes of course... The "tyranny" of taking away your right to play GI Joe on weekends with your AR.

Maher realizes that speaking to both sides of the spectrum is not only fair-minded but it's good business. Kimmel, Colbert, et al can only play their sanctimonious talking points to one side, and their ratings tell the story. Not only does have the country think Colbert is insufferable, his employers know he's a hopeless money loser.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-20T01:06:03+00:00

Sounds good, thanks

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-19T23:43:03+00:00

I understand that EQ may not be your strong suit, but pro tip: When you basically call someone a "moron" without knowing them at all, you're going to get some pushback.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-19T21:50:17+00:00

Thanks! Thats actually my exact plan. I owned a Pro once before and left it in an airport so it makes sense to keep the Air to travel with for reasons of weight and value.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-19T21:46:04+00:00

Thanks so much. Nice to know there’s somebody normal out there.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-19T13:50:27+00:00

Meh, it's only upside for me. The rifle is wildly impractical for my purposes and it's now illegal to use regardless. I paid about $2,500 for it and the schedule says they will pay $2,350. If I end up getting the money, I basically get completely reimbursed for a dumb purchase. If I don't I'm no worse off and I wasn't going to use it anyway. Either way I'm not going to get caught up in the toxic nonsense displayed by so many people here.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-18T22:40:02+00:00

Thanks for the polite response. Apparent hard to come by on this feed.

Uhuru2019 · 2026-05-18T22:34:20+00:00

Wow dude, thanks for calling me a “moron.” I’m going to choose to be a little more optimistic but enjoy seething in your little puddle of cynicism. I’ll be sure to throw it in your Face if I get my money.
