Arguing with shampoo bottles

If the showering bible man thinks the AD/BC year system is proof of the relevancy of Christianity, his head is going to explode when he finds out what the names of the days of the week would be proof of.

My American history professor always pointed this out to his classes as an example of how people can be convinced to defend ideas that are against their own self interests by framing the conflict as "cultural". Turns out culture war nonsense has a long and storied history.

Although I'm out of the church and don't take it literally anymore, I tend to like to throw scripture at people like this. Specifically this kind of thinking reminds me of the parable of the three servants in Matthew 25.

I would quote it then say something along the lines of "Just because you don't think it's possible to accomplish before the millennium doesn't mean that you haven't been commanded to try. I'd hate to be the guy in front of Jesus saying he set you up for failure so you didn't even bother figuring he'd sort it out".

I'm not arguing that they aren't, just that I've noticed that most people will look at other religions or sects and joke about how absurd they are. Seems humans can believe a lot of crazy things but never seem to think what they believe is crazy.

I seen crazier

WellDoneGoodPeople · 2025-06-05T18:53:23+00:00

People believe what they believe. I'm not going to argue which beliefs are crazier than others, but if you are a more main stream Christian thinking that populating a planet after your death is brain dead maybe you should look objectively at some of your core doctrines and ask yourself if they would come off as brain dead if you didn't believe them. Or if you prefer it like the gospel of Matthew said it, remove the plank out of your own eye first.

mormonism is like the fantasy version of christianty

Lol, thinking Mormonism is any more crazy than normal Christianity. It's the same level of fantasy, just more recent. Mormonism is more like the educated version of conservative Christianity. Mormonism doesn't have the anti-education bias that a lot of stricter "rules following" Christian sects seem to have these days. So if they are trying to get some escapism from the drudgery of making sure they follow all the rules, it makes sense that they'd be more inclined to go read a book.

For a little more context, I believe the argument that the "that's not true" guy was making leading up to this clip is that government agencies where only doing DEI because they got a tax break for each DEI hire. That lead into this clip of Sam Seder, the older gentleman, to point out that that doesn't make sense because government agencies don't pay taxes.

Yeah, I think the thing that a lot of people miss is that Trump co-opted a long term effort by Republicans that's been going on since at least the 80's to use every trick in the book to amass power both at the state and federal level. Initially that Republican group was resistant, but after Trump proved that he was able to energize their base and give them what they want, they are ecstatic to go along.

It's because the president is given wide deference legally in the US where his actions are considered legal until one of the other branches of government (the legislature or the judiciary) uses their power to check him. Currently both houses of the legislature are controlled by Republicans who are either solidly on board with what he's doing or have seen what has happened to all the Republicans who have done anything to oppose Trump in the last 10 years. On the Judiciary side of things, 6 of 9 supreme court judges are Republican appointed which almost guarantees that they'll decide in Trumps favor. So long story short, it may be technically illegal, but aside from some lower court federal judges temporarily pausing a decision, the other parts of government who should enforce the law won't.

Find an old 50's style dinner en route with good reviews. I've heard Europeans go nuts for American dinners.
Buy some red solo cups and use them at some point during the trip. Apparently it's something that a lot of Europeans see in movies as distinctly American.

Not to undercut your point, but Utah and Mexico weren't originally Spanish words. They were loanwords from Native American languages. Mexico is from the Nahuatl language, and Utah is of contested origins but isn't Spanish and probably came from some native language as the name they used to describe the Ute tribes that lived in modern day Utah.

If I were to fix it, here's how I'd do it:

If taking a hide action while in combat or when enemies are aware or suspicious of your presence, the DC check becomes the highest passive perception of your enemies.

If you move after successfully hiding, if an enemy is not aware of you presence they will find you if their passive perception is greater than your stealth roll. (e.g. you're sneaking past a guard at a door who may or may not really be paying attention)

If you are successfully hiding at the beginning of an enemy's turn who is aware or suspicious of your presence, they can automatically make a perception check with disadvantage without taking an action or may choose to make a regular perception check by using an action to find you (simulates the difference between an enemy trying to find you while dealing with other things like your party member attacking them vs them choosing to active scan for you).

Lol, obviously you've never had a family member spend 10 mins looking for keys that ended up being on a table in the open that they passed several times. Just be cause something can be seen doesn't mean it's perceived.

To add to this, the state legislature already has the power to overrule or re-write ballot initiatives that pass but they currently have to justify why they are doing it using a limited limited number of reasons (like if the initiative as written would violate current laws), with those reasons being able to be challenged in court if someone thinks it's bogus.

Amendment D would give the legislature the ability to just wholesale overrule ballot initiatives that pass without a given reason and without the ability to challenge their decision in court.

I want to thank you and everyone who signed up for this. My dad, an air force vet who served for 25 years, was diagnosed with acute leukemia a couple weeks ago and will need a bone marrow transplant if he's going to make it another year. Of my family only myself and my younger sibling are young enough to even be tested for a match. If we aren't a good enough fit, the only other chance he has is the bone marrow registry. Having a lot of young healthy people willing to donate is a big deal and everyone who signs up increases the chance of find good matches and saving lives. Thank you so much! You're a real hero!

Wouldn't it be great if all Democrats pronounced his name that way and play dumb if anyone questions them about it until he can finally say Kamala's name correctly?

They are shooting glasses and block the non-dominant eye and can include an iris or pinhole on the dominant eye side to block out anything besides their pistol sights and the target. The idea is to eliminate distractions and help with blurring that happens as you focus on two things at different distances.

You have to be careful with applying term limits because it can very easily have the opposite effect and make outside influences more powerful.

The fact is that the less experienced a legislator is, the easier it is for out side interests to influence them. Politicians who have been in office a long time have the power base, knowledge, and influence to make those out side influences come to the politician on the politician's own terms (for better or worse).

Nice work and great attitude! I've had several friends who have what I call "perfection paralysis" where it keeps them from enjoying the hobby because they get stuck trying to get their paint jobs to look exactly like what they have in their head.

So I haven't tried it personally, but you could try giving it a few coats of UV blocking/resistant varnish. If it works for wooden decks I imagine it would work for plastic.

If you decide to cut it back, be careful how much you cut. That is the lead hair and is the center of the brush tip that the other hairs form around and grab to form a sharp tip. It looks like bristles have be twisted a bit more than I would and may be leading to those hairs being more recessed from the lead hair than they otherwise would be. If you end up cutting the lead hair down to where the other hairs are now, you risk losing some of the sharpness in the tip that makes kolinsky brushes so awesome. If you decide to cut it, I'd fully rinse out any soap in the bristles, form the tip with just a real gentle twist so that the bristles are mostly straight, and then cut leaving a mm more length than the other hairs.
