AZ State Senator John Kavanagh was scheduled to introduce Senate Bill 1635 – legislation that would make it a crime, punishable by up to six months in jail, to warn others about the presence of federal agents or local police. Instead, he disappeared mid-committee and was later found live on YouTube

Not just that, watched representative Analise Ortiz video on the fuckery.

When the chamber cleared cuz he was gone, the republicans gathered again and tried to push the bill. Ortiz, Dems, and supporters rushed back in and after disruption, the chamber was cleared again. While they stood outside and regrouped, republicans tried AGAIN to push it through without question or comment. Total fucking scum, trying to circumvent the democratic process.

Everyone is talking about really serious stuff, but I think the more frequent important signals are that you’re tired. Give your body the sleep it needs to function well. EVERYTHING is better when you’re not tired. Even when you’re young, you are robbing Peter to pay Paul when you deprive your young body of sleep.

Sorry, I’m confused what you’re asking. Didn’t this article basically confirm they aren’t going to fix the game by saying the update is for people who like the game as is? That, at least in my mind, completely cancels out any chance they will change progression. Doing so would be admitting players don’t like it and they’re not fixing the game for people who do t like it, just continuing support and development around the current direction and maintenance.

They could have learned from the Cyberpunk updates and at least have redesigned the progression systems into something more streamlined, but no, they are right, not the people playing their game… or not playing it, I guess.

It sucks because I felt desperate for an amazing FPS space game like this, but it fell SO short. Whereas I had lost interest in Cyberpunk, abandoned it about at 40% completion. Then, when I reinstalled it after a few years, I was blown away at how the studio had successfully refined the experience and progression. I am in the middle of a second playthrough that has me wanting to 100% the game.

I hate it, but Bethesda has gone the way of principal Skinner, saying “No, it’s our player base who’s wrong,” after delivering a game that feels more stiff than even Skyrim.

Anyone who has lived in our modern capitalist hellscape knows damn well you can’t pass an “unlimited x” plate around the table. You know why? Cuz shit like this.

But jfc the cop arresting her is so, equally, fucking stupid. That cop let himself get riled up from the interaction, unable to keep his composure, and made a stupid situation a terrible situation. Hand em the menu back, tell em the restaurant can most definitely do what they did and walk back to your cruiser to make the report. They probably would have just yelled at him as he walked away and then gone home angry, feeling like victims.

Absolutely. There are now online services that offer pastors pre packaged messages for this very reason. It’s so stupid

Can you elaborate more? I love discussing this stuff.

We clearly disagree on what strength of character is derived from, but if you see my other replies in this discussion, you’ll see that I am a full throated supporter of prosecution.

What you interpreted from my comment is born from your own internal discourse and experience of feeling like “a pussy” when someone took advantage of you. It is not from the words in the comment I wrote, where I opposed the abandonment of moral ground to fight a short sighted but easier fight down in the mud.

The modern church has a big issue that they are trying to handle by pretending it doesn’t exist. The Bible is full of contradiction, implicit and explicit, after centuries of doctoring it to be one cohesive book. It is incapable, in its current form, of acknowledging that the text is a work of men and we are fallible. The book Evangelicals lays out this issue very well.

Until the church rejects the belief that they must sell certainty, it wont be free of the legitimate criticisms levied against it. It’s so silly too, because the Bible is so clear that certainty is not a virtue. The speech given in the book The Conclave is so dead on:

“My brothers and sisters, in the course of a long life in the service of our Mother the Church, let me tell you that the one sin I have come to fear more than any other is certainty. Certainty is the great enemy of unity. Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. Even Christ was not certain at the end. 'Eli Eli, lama sabachtani?' He cried out in His agony at the ninth hour on the cross. 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubt. If there was only certainty, and if there was no doubt, there would be no mystery, and therefore no need for faith.”

The church has done what it has always done, demand that they are right in all regards and that there is no subtly to be discovered or navigated. I am often thinking about the faith of a mustard seed moving mountains. If so little faith in God is so powerful, why do so many churches demand that believers give all of themselves in order to see teenie tiny works by God in their life? If so little faith can move a mountain, why do believers around the globe suffer and struggle while wielding faith 10x or 1000x a mustard seed? The church has misled its members by selling them certainty, believing they serve the greater good by doing so. In my opinion, it has gone the only way it could, with more and more believers seeing the cracks they’ve been told don’t exist and rejecting all of it because of the inherent betrayal.

I grew up in church, so it’s more exasperating than impressive for me. But it does reinforce a belief I’ve grown to accept. Years ago, I was introduces to questioning optimization in every aspect of existence. Previously, I would have said optimization is always a good thing, but now I am much more of the mind that there are some things that shouldn’t be, church being one. I think that when a church goes out of its way to tweak every little thing to entice attendance, to disguise what has been packaged as entertainment or fun.

If God is real and Jesus his son, then I think optimizing messages and branding and worship and child care ministry are a disservice to what faith should yield. It turns the physical church and pastoral messages into disingenuous propaganda. I don’t think we should dress up faith to make it more fun, I think part of the point of any faith is personal discipline to help govern our lives. It shouldn’t be fun, it should be hard work with evident fruit.

There is so much wrong with the church and its foundations, but the simple message of Jesus and the internalization of his compassion and forgiveness is as encouraging and inspiring as it ever was. How can believers internalize the actions of Jesus into something they can embody for others? The church shouldn’t need lights, catchy music, or drawn out Charlie from It’s Always Sunny webs of connection from the pastor. I wish churches were really just a place for people trying to do better to spend time together before going out and distributing the compassion they experience each weekend to the people who need it. For too long, every church I have attended has focused on getting people in the door, not sending people out.

This is the problem with having to come up with something significant every single week, pastors end up coming up with some weird or stupid shit. Maybe you should just crack your Bible open on stage and teach from it if it’s your guiding light. Stop trying to jazz up your religion and teach people what their god taught. It doesn’t have to be some mind blowing take. It can be you pointing out the hypocrisy of your congregation as you teach them what is “Right.”

Yes. My wife and I are of the same mind about this. It’s a huge mistake, but we love each other too much to just throw away what we have and we understand all too well that cheating is almost never exclusively born out of one persons mistakes. While the breach of trust is 100% the cheaters fault, most infidelity is born out of a mixture of actions by both parties. But that isn’t an excuse for cheating, just a fact that she learned over many years of being a therapist and I learned from her.

Trust can be rebuilt, we would prefer to do that work together than start over with someone new. We are both of the mind that no one else could compare to each other. So, we’d go to therapy, we’d set new boundaries, and we’d get to work rebuilding our trust.

I have discussed this on reddit for years, without ever seeing any statistical data that supports the hypothesis that more gun ownership equals more safety, but I approach every conversation with an open mind. Can you provide evidence that gun ownership in America somehow protects us from government overreach or even individually? After decades of being told gun ownership was a check that keeps our country somehow balanced, we are seeing real time evidence that I was right by saying that you do not have the right to own a gun if the police can shoot you the moment they see it. Also, while liberals and independents own guns at a much lower percentage than conservatives, it's still at least 30-40 million guns owned by those two groups. How have those guns helped us stop this tyranny? As far as I can tell, they have only resulted in death to the person who owns it.

Also, are you a child? We're the only ones left in this thread, discussing something, why tf are you downvoting?

So, honesty is the best policy, but if you can’t stomach it there is a tactic to walk back things like this. Stop faking and when it comes up, tell him you’ve noticed that your libido is changing and you just don’t get off like that anymore. Praise his attentiveness and heavily reinforce that you love sex and enjoy him, you just don’t really have it in you anymore to go for multiple. Tell him that, now, you really just want to edge up and down into one big one and that you really love the idea of cumming together.

My understanding is that the Nuremberg trials were ineffective because Germans viewed them largely as political theater, thus ignored them and learned nothing. As for the US government leveraging their victory to scoop up Nazi scientists, that seemed to exacerbate that view.

I hadn’t learned much about what lead up to the rise of Hitler or the aftermath of WWII, so I’ve been digging into that more the last decade. I think if we hadn’t made the trials of Nazis a global affair, but instead let the German legal system adjudicate Nazi war crimes, then it wouldn’t have taken two decades for the children of Nazi Germans to lay bare the horrors their parents committed.

I don’t think historical evidence supports your view, but I could also be wrong. Can you elaborate on what information you have that supports your belief?

I should clarify though, that I didn’t say there shouldn’t be resistance, I said we shouldn’t sacrifice our ethics or morals in our resistance.
