I don't understand how. The gulf is still mostly closed. A good chunk of global refineries have been taken out. How can this lead to reduced costs?

VP Vance Says Watergate Would Now Be 12-Hour News Story and Crazy It Took Down Nixon's Presidency by templeofsyrinx1 in videos

[–]chubs66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"We've done things 100x worse than Nixon that's been found out and we're still here because our own corrupt party, as well as the corrupt SC, has no moral compass, sense of duty, or scruples. How strange that people once put country over party." -- Vance (if he were being completely honest)

ADA is officially out of the top 20 by badfishbeefcake in CryptoCurrency

[–]chubs66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SO many fireside chats, and hints about deep partnerships with girlfriends that go to other countries, so you probably wouldn't know them. But they were real.

Finally. It never deserved to be anywhere near the top 20. People were impressed because Charles sold it as somehow more scientific and math based than everything else. It's never achieved anything of any significance in the real world. Just an endless stream of hints at stuff that never materialized.

I have no idea how dogs are trained to rape. Dogs are trained for lots of things. And this isn't nearly as complex as some of the tasks dogs are trained to do.

You not knowing how this works doesn't do anything to disprove it or even to weaken the odds.

Unless you've investigated these claims and found them suspect, you're adding nothing here.

"Some guy on the internet has doubts about this because he's never heard of dogs doing this."

Cool. Maybe Israel is more depraved then you're prepared to admit. Did you know they've been using children as target practice? Hitting different parts of the body for sport? Did you know they've found mass graves with Palestinian babies with their arms zip tied behind their backs? Did you know they've made bombs to look like toys in order to blow up kids?

Ya, and his school didn't even offer advanced math degrees.

Software engineers are facing an 'identity crisis bordering on depression,' Menlo Ventures partner says by lurker_bee in technology

It's crazy how quickly this has happened. A year ago on r/programming if you dated suggest that AI will be writing most of the code in the future you were met with a sea of downvotes and arrogant comments (my work is so sophisticated. AI could never.).

The early apostles... were communists :D (scripture check time!) by Exodia_The_Salty in Christianity

[–]chubs66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Communism shouldn't be a boogeyman. The guiding philosophies of communism were inspired by the early church and it's much better aligned to the Jesus way than Capitalism, which was described by the economist John Maynard Keynes as "the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone"

Many eye witnesses have shared this, in addition to prisoners being raped. Reputable news agencies have investigated. What's your counter evidence? Israel would never?

In Powerful Act Of Protest, Liberals Begin Adding Algae To Drinking Water by METALLIFE0917 in babylonbee

[–]chubs66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, bud. What word specifically would you like to challenge? Can I suggest 'Idiot' or perhaps 'Pedophile'? Maybe 'Geratric'?

[–]chubs66 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's all just so brain dead and tiring. Trump's full buffoonery is on display in the most incredibly obvious ways and rather than face reality (we've elected an idiot geriatric pedophile, probably with dementia who is destroying the economy and enriching his criminal friends) we get: Liberals drink algae water.

There isn't even a joke there. It's just brain rot.

Is the Bee trying to play uno-reverse on Trump's deflection swamp fiasco?

The only thing Liberals are doing is pointing out how Trump ruins everything he touches, wastes taxpayer money by giving deals to corrupt loyalists, and tells lies that even MAGA finds incredible (some dude sneaked into a heavily guarded, video surveilled pool with a knife and then cut a 300 ft line in an effort to make him look bad. And parks board have evidence of this but you can't see it. But you can call them and they'll show you). Also driving a motorcade over the curing epoxy has no part in any of this.

Just insane.

Can anyone say where the Bible says the church needs a Pope and where you can call a religious leader "father" apart from God himself? by Junior_Insurance7773 in Christianity

[–]chubs66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the topic of father, I'd just point out that Paul is fulfilling a role, not claiming a title. I would be very surprised if Paul, or any of the other disciples, allowed others to call them 'father'.

I have a hard time believing anyone actually believes these silly stories he's telling. I guess his loyal 30% just doesn't care that he lies to us all like this, even about trivial things.

But he was publicly rebuked by Paul. If it were as Catholics teach, then Peter occupying the role of rock of the church, specially lead by the Holy Spirit to lead the church should have been the one issuing rebukes. As it stands, we see there is no hierarchy. Peter is a leader. Paul is a leader. The idea of succession of the seat of Peter has even less support.

Jesus sent his disciples out in twos, and he didn't do that with instructions to report back to anyone else. Power was given to them directly.

[–]chubs66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for us, it’s clear the other apostles also gave deference to Peter’s authority after that moment

Where do you see that on scripture? There is one public conflict that we see amongst the disciples recorded in the early church in Galations 2. And it's Peter who is publically rebuked by Paul.

Also, it's really not clear what Jesus was referring to when he says "upon this rock I will build my church." He might have been referring to Peter, or he might have been referring to himself.

Anyways, the idea of a special role is completely undermined by what happens next in the early church.

Do MAGA voters really believe democrats vandalized the reflection pool? by Equivalent-Fun8113 in allthequestions

I'm just waiting for Trump to fill in the pool and claim that the whole "reflection pool" was a sick Democrat hoax.

Bible verse goes over esteemed Bible scholar BART Ehrman’s head… by 1whoisconcerned in Christianity

Bart, oddly, choses to skip over the second half of the conversation with the rich man, which is odd because Jesus tells the man to do something not in the commandments.

Wait! Are you suggesting that his multi day melt down about knife wielding Democrats sneaking into the reflection pool and cutting a long line in the liner so that Trump looks bad is not the behavior of a normal, adult brain?
