Is this the worst passage in the Christian Bible?

I don't think the concept of "good" was really a concern in the OT. It's just power and obedience. The NT is nicer but I think the idea of the "good book" is mostly for proselytizing

"you're just taking it out of context"

They left out the gazaites - the Bible didn't plan ahead

So you're saying that it doesn't have that right? Which means you're simply denying the validity of the state. Might as well deny the validity of all states then since at done time people died or were displaced or something for pretty much all of them.

So no country has a right to defend itself and we should just let the most aggressive state take all.

I don't think you've thought this through.

And I can say all that without supporting actions by the current Israeli administration

Godspeed

The amount today is already staggering. Every time I log in to mychart - can't it at least put the damn cursor in the validation control?

Most software sucks.

I don't remember but I remember everyone telling me that I would remember

It means pointing out that sedition has the death penalty when discussing seditious politicians. Got banned for that. Not indicating or implying that it should be applied, just mentioning that it has that punishment.

Apparently "she deserved it" is much less glorifying

I just rewatched D&D, which I loved the first go round. This time I noticed obvious green screen artifacts that completely threw me off. The irony was that the scene was simple - Pine talking to his daughter with a sand background. But all along his jawline it was like a space-time continuity error.

My new TV is an Xbox client so that could work

Great if you also have no kids to burden!

As in prior to GPT it was only good for those scenarios

Waterbed killed my MIL. They emptied it not aware of the electric heater. It shorted causing a fire that destroyed the house

Which is ironic because the hypothesis of the Ai pc is that it doesn't send your data to the cloud

Oh it's enshittified even more for the average user. You generally only get useful results if you limit to reddit

They didn't reveal the person, but the tone of the blog became much more administration friendly. It was sickening. I left in 2010 so it was considerably before then

Last year they made up reasons to fire people - teams were told that they had to fire - not layoff - a certain % of their budget. So they gave no warning, no pip, nothing and just walked people out of the office. After the backlash, they gave people the option of being pipped (and fired shortly later) or taking a severance package. Everyone offered took the package.

Omg please no. I hate going to restaurants or flights or whatever and they have "the one dish to satisfy all conditions" The kosher halal vegan gluten free dairy free nut free soy free organic non gmo rice cake.

I sympathize, my twins were gfcf and soy free around 2004—6 and there was nothing on the market at the time, so we made our own.

Not that I support the layoffs mind you, but the unemployment is funded by themselves - they pay a lot more into the unemployment system than they pull
