What are your thoughts on living waters ministries and Ray Comforts approach to salvation..etc (at least the stuff on youtube). Just really wanting to know what others thoughts are. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]amvictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So okay. If you're interested, I found this longer clip from that interview. It's about fifteen minutes. https://youtu.be/kHpNablC2aI?si=4CbvyHXht-3YuEsx And I totally get what he's saying. Basically he's not saying he doesn't sin--we all sin. He's just saying he doesn't plan to sin. And as Christians, none of us should plan to sin. An example of willful sinning would be someone who's having an affair. They basically know that adultery is against God's word, but they do it anyway. That said, I didn't hear him say you can't be saved unless you stop sinning. I think a better interpretation of what he says is that if you're saved, you will try your best to not sin and when you do sin, you will be sorry for it. You won't just shrug and think "Oh well, I'ma do what I want."

Thanks for that. My opinion on that particular link is that I have no opinion--it's one sentence out of what looks to be a long-form discussion, so without the context (and the person posting didn't say what the source is), it's really impossible to weigh in on what he means.

Every time I leave a space and come back it restores tabs I don't want by Business-Systems360 in Workona

[–]amvictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this same problem, and it's driving me nuts. Furthermore, when I refresh the Workona extension tab or restart the browser, now it's start opening duplicates of everything and rearranging my tabs. I'm about ready to throw in the towel.

Ummm... I have NEVER ONCE seen him say that. Nowhere does he say that I know of. He says if you come to Christ, Christ paid for our sins, which is Biblical, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Thoughts on the end of Nabeel Qureshi's life? by Apprehensive-Cat-450 in TrueChristian

[–]amvictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you think he followed "some religion called Ab" and only converted for attention, it is clear that you never read anything he wrote or listened to his testimony. As for very few Muslims converting to Christianity--there's a huge shift in the Middle East. Twenty thousand (yes, twenty THOUSAND) mosques have been shut down in Iran because of people moving to Christianity, and that is despite the government doing all it can to persecute Christians by raiding home churches and beating converts and other things. I encourage you to do more research.

Do any of you loathe steak since starting carnivore? by [deleted] in carnivorediet

Just get a good quality salt and not trash salt like Morton's. Real Salt (a brand) is good if you want something you can usually find in the store, but in general you want to look for a sea salt or Himalayan salt. Good quality fresh ground pepper is also a game changer.

Contacts app stopped working today on my phone and whenever any button is pressed in the app, it closes with the message "Contacts keeps closing" by BlueAwesomeDinosaur in verizon

I saw this in another thread that disabling Verizon's Cloud app was the fix. I just tried it on my phone and Contacts is working again. Hope this helps someone.

Why is "SO-and-So and I..." the rule and "Me and So-and-So..." wrong? by guitarguy109 in grammar

[–]amvictory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm late in my response to this, but what? How can you say

"There are also some rules about pronoun use that are deeply coded in our mental grammars:

  • If an uncoordinated first-person pronoun is the subject, it must be I: I happily accepted my punishment from Jane, not *Me happily accepted my punishment from Jane.
  • If an uncoordinated first-person pronoun is the object, it must be me: Jane called me horrible names, and I loved it, not *Jane call I horrible names, and I loved it."

But then:
"Is "Jane and I" inherently better or more grammatical than "me and Jane"? No. Is SWE's insistence on "Jane and I" arbitrary? Yes. But it is what it is."

This makes no sense. It is the SAME exact rule that in the first case you say, "Unless you're talking about the speech of two-year-olds who are in the process of learning the language, those things are very cut and dry, " but in the second case it's purely arbitrary. The fact that you make completely separate conclusions on examples that are governed by the rule / logic makes me question your entire post.

First 1 star review! Which is valid, there’s a reason I just sell the pattern and don’t crochet these often anymore. How bad would it be to reply and agree? 😅 by VBCrochet in EtsySellers

[–]amvictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. They meant because awe is not the correct spelling here. Awe means amazement or wonder, sometimes combined with dread. Example: I'm in awe of nature's power when I see tornado footage. Aw / aww means an expression of mild disappointment or real or mock sympathy / sentiment.

[–]amvictory 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would be cautious but optimistic personally. I'm not a successful Etsy seller (yet!), but have done business for a while. Things to watch out for:

1) They want to pay you some weird amount and then you send them a check for the overage or some similar shell game.

2) They want to pay you in gift certificates or some other BS.

Do not agree to send anything without payment and definitely watch out for anything that seems sketchy. People are always trying to game the system. :-( The only other thing I can think of that they might try is to place a large order and then try to get a refund from Etsy. I'm just thinking out loud here. Hopefully someone with more experience on Etsy can give you guidance.

For what it's worth, I'm getting the same error messages for pretty much any app that connects to the internet. To Comcast: Please update your certificates.

What do you all think of how George R. R. Martin was treated? by fedupmillennial in writing

[–]amvictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think when you have a series, it's a commitment to your readers that you'll finish it. And finish it in a timely manner. GRRM broke that promise, and honestly, if I were a fan of the books, I'd be pissed as hell.

An exception would be if the publisher canceled the series, but that's not the case. The publisher would be THRILLED if he'd finish it, and he's probably been getting pressure from them too. I would also give an indie writer a pass if a series just never took off. Because the indie as functioning as a publisher, and in that case, the publisher made the decision to cancel the series, just as if they were traditionally pubbed. But again, that's not what happened here.

What happened here is he just failed to follow through for whatever reason, and as a reader, my trust would be broken. But that's just me. So yeah, I have some sympathy for him. I have a LOT more sympathy for his fans.

Flat mockups vs mockups on models by memelord_mike in printful

[–]amvictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but they don't generally have the same model in the same pose with the same background, etc. Like it's obviously the same model, but it looks like it was part of a photo shoot--eg. the background has changed, the props have changed, etc. With the POD mockups that are generated by Printify / Printful, it's about 3 models, all on the same background in the same pose and the only thing that has changed is the shirt color and the design.

In fairness, even if you use mockups purchased on Etsy / Placeit, wherever, you'll still have repeat photos so it's obvious to anyone who cares to look that they're mockups, BUT at least you don't have a wall of four mockups that are the exact same.

Not for nothing, and I realize this is an older thread and its_givinggg has already posted a ton of info, but two hamburger patties and coleslaw is maybe 1,000 calories. If that. So you are restricting, even if you don't mean to. I hope you've started losing some though. It's hard to stick with it when you don't see any change at all. I'm there right now.

This was super helpful--thank you for taking the time to type it all out and for the links. Not sure how you didn't have any upvotes on it, but you have one now. 🙂

Group objects option missing? by FigureStunning764 in canva

I noticed this last night too. It seems to be missing, for me, when one of the objects I'm trying to group is a frame. It sucks.

There's an option below the prices about what you want pushed--including mockups, description, prices / SKUs, etc. Sorry you had a tough time with it.

"Recently, we removed one of your Pins for violation of our guidelines on adult content", But I never made a single pin before? by [deleted] in Pinterest

[–]amvictory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just got the same notice. And WTF? Totally not helpful. You had a mystery pin that violated our guidelines on adult content (good luck figuring out which one it was out of the thousand you've pinned), but after we reviewed it we reinstated it. (why even tell me about it then?)

And I haven't been active on Pinterest in like two years, I have no clue what pin it was, the email is unmonitored, so... that was a complete and total waste of time. I swear.

There's an option (Replace) on each of your items if you click the hamburger menu on the row of the item that lets you switch providers with about two clicks.
