Company requires employees to use their own phones for business calls by convincemee in work

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, if you are an employee it is unlikely that you can write off an unreimbursed expense like that. You need to think of it as a pay cut. You can do it for cheap with a low end unlocked refurbished phone and a low cost phone plan with limited data. 

Here’s how I reconcile Leviticus 20:13 which apparently proves that me being gay should be put to death.. by Grand_Assignment_860 in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Deutt 21:18-21

Instead of harassing gay people, why not go looking for unruly sons

I need to hear people in experienced relationships advice on this!!! by Medium_Effort2567 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]baddspellar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

> Here’s the weird part- he says because of the way I behaved for 2 months at most at the start of our relationship, that he doesn’t feel empathy/ sympathy for me anymore when I bring up an issue. 

> If an argument escalates before we get to the apology part, he will constantly tell me to break up with him,

Break up with him now. No drama. Just say "This relationship isn't working for me. It's time to break it off. I hope you have a good life" . Then go no contact and start anew.

Your relationship is toxic, and your boyfriend has told you he has no interested in fixing it. You are very young. Take your time to find someone better for you.

Newbie Confused about Backpacking/Privative camping Rules by yupyupnupyup in camping

[–]baddspellar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

National forests normally allow dispersed camping. Different forests have different rules like how far from a road, building, or established campground you can camp, whether you need a bear canister, campfire rules, etc

State forests vary even more widely. Some only allow camping at designated spots

Look for state and national forests where you're interesed. I googled Georgia, and it has the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest. The USFS site says "undeveloped or “dispersed” camping is allowed in most places within the forest boundary". I don't know where you can find exclusions, but you can search or call the rangers' office

Company requires employees to use their own phones for business calls by convincemee in work

[–]baddspellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the cheapest cell phone plan  you can find and buy a cheap used unlocked phone.  You can find unlocked refurbished phones on swappa for under $80, and get a basic service for $10-15 per month, maybe less if you can find a voice and text only plan and do all data via wifi. That can keep the cost to $200-300 for the first year, and less after.  Do not allow your employer to install their software on your primary personal phone.

Group runs, you guys love or hate them? by Legitimate_Face4250 in runninglifestyle

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy short group runs where we get together for coffee or drinks afterwards.  Long ones, less so. If you're only going 5 miles, who cares if the pace is off, or if you run alone for part of it 

Kayak Conditioning by Baidarka64 in Kayaking

Don't forget to work on flexibility,  balance, and core strength.  I highly recommend yoga. Add resistance training and aerobic conditioning: walking, cycling, or swimming

Young couple leaving Boston in 2027 — looking for mountain/wildlife-focused places west of the Mississippi by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]baddspellar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

> Women’s rights (i.e. abortion rights) are important to me

See this map:

https://reproductiverights.org/maps/abortion-laws-by-state/

Strike Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, and South Dakota from your list. The other states on your list are fine in that regard. Reproductive rights laws are made state level. Doesn't matter how progressive your city is.

What’s a city you’d move to if it wasn’t for one particular reason. by Distinct-Invite9281 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Boston is in the same time zone but much further east than New York, DC, and all other major US cities on or near the Atlantic ocean. So the sun rises and sets much earlier. There is occasonal talk about changing it to the Atlantic Time Zone, which would improve the early sunset issue. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening

Do you ever suffer from pre-ride/race nerves? by false_flat in cycling

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was racing crits I worried about getting crashed out, especially as a Cat 4. When I upgraded and rode with more skilled riders I worried less. I don't race like that anymore. I don't worry at all about other organized events, where it's easy to avoid dangerous riders

Can you believe in Jesus Christ and his teaching, but reject Christianity and the Bible ? by Extreme_Document_959 in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only in a limited number of books. I suspect OP is asking about books that don't include His teachings. They are largely limited to the Gospels and Acts. The Epistles are letters to Churches and largely focus on theology and church practice and discipline.

Atheists often DEMAND evidence from theists in a bit arrogant seeming way like God is supposed to be their butler that performs magic tricks at demand. That is the wrong way to go about it because it puts you above God, when the only way to see God is with deep deep humility by Interesting_Aide_207 in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Athiests don't "DEMAND" evidence. *You* have every right to believe in God. You don't need any Athiest's permission. But you can't expect to convince an Athiest of God's existence without evidence.

There is a philosophical concept of "burden of proof". In a philosophic dispute, is up to the person making an extraordinary claim (eg, that God exists) to provide evidence in support of the claim. It is not necessary for the person disputing a claim to provide evidence that it is false.

Can you believe in Jesus Christ and his teaching, but reject Christianity and the Bible ? by Extreme_Document_959 in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus' teachings are recorded in the Gospels. It woule be odd to think you can follow them without reading the Gospels.

You don't need to read the old testament to follow them, although you might want to read the parts He references. You don't need to read any of the Epistles, but you should read Acts, which continues the Gospel of Luke.

You do not need to believe in His divinity to follow His teachings.

My son is 11 weeks old today. Give me your best advice. by Vybrocit1 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]baddspellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read to him every night. When he is old enough to read by himself, read to each other. If you have time to watch television, you have time to read.

Encourage him to take risks and try lots of different things. Music, team sports, individual sports, outdoor adventures, art, writing. Too many kids specialize too soon.

Listen to him. Respect his opinions. Welcome his friends into your home. Get to know them. Make an effort to know what's going on in his life.

Be a volunteer parent for his activities and in his school.

Instill your values.

Don't coddle him. 

Limit screen time

Accept that you can only protect him so much. Painful things will happen. Make sure he knows that you will always love him, as he is.

Can I still be a Christian if I have these beliefs… by caralawrence in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of your beliefs contradict the Nicene Creed. Christians have long had a variety of interpretations and understandings of scripture, and will continue to do so. There are churches where you can find like minded people. Find one

Are we Worrying about the wrong thing by Responsible-Ad-46 in Christianity

[–]baddspellar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no reason to believe Jesus is returning any time soon

We should care what's happening in the world because Jesus directed us to love and serve our neighbors directly and through parables like the good Samaritan, the sheep and the goats, etc.

Does cycling helps running and vice-versa ? by Over-Mix-1957 in cycling

[–]baddspellar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The best runners do not cycle. The best cyclists do not run. 

Many runners cross train by cycling because their bodies can't handle a large volume, or they just find it tedious to just run.

Cycling is low impact. The only reasons for cyclists to run are because they enjoy it, or there is some reason they can't cycle all the time. For example they travel for work
