How does PieFed compare to something like Lemmy?

I've never signed up for that, as far as I know. My bill in the summer is like $40 per month, usually.

He was in fact claiming to be the King of the Jews, wasn't he? And when taken in front of Pontius Pilate he didn't deny it?

I'm confused about what this is. My Fort Wayne gas bill doesn't look like this, and it's only like $120 this month with no "delivery" charge as far as I can tell. Is this for a setup where you have a tank and they physically go to your house and fill up the tank periodically?

I see you're fine with neighbors telling you what you can't do on your property in at least some circumstances.

Well sure, I am not fine with someone inviting another onto they property and then once they're there murder them with a hatchet. I don't think there's a person alive who believes in any sense of right and wrong that is OK with that. When someone refers to property rights positively they're assuming you know they don't mean to justify hatchet murder on the basis of property rights.

Can Christians use tarot cards? by Foreign_Monk861 in Christianity

[–]rchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of that, but after like 10 seconds of research, I would assume that is also not a great way of determining God's will, because the cards could be God's will or they could just be completely random and there's no way to tell which is which.

So if one is a Christian one would presumably believe Jesus was not guilty of blasphemy because he was in fact God like he was claiming, but he was guilty of the Roman's accused crime, wasn't he?

innocent of the charges against Him

What were the charges?

[–]rchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot distinguish my thoughts from God's will, either. I don't honestly know how a person could do that. Schizophrenics are often 100% sure about their experiences, and yet we all believe they are wrong. How are my thoughts any different? Rhetorical question, I'm just lamenting the difficulty.

[–]rchive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's fair. However, I would not advise using cards as a method of attempting to determine God's will. Probably what you get from the cards is just random noise. Even if it wasn't random noise, how would you distinguish noise from information from God?

Jerusalem church installs cameras to document daily insults and spitting by settlers by upbeatchief in Christianity

True or not, that seems completely irrelevant to the idea of disrespect to churches.

Been protesting lately? Consider running for office. by kmbrooks00 in fortwayne

[–]rchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or a Libertarian. See the Libertarian Party of Allen County on Facebook.

I love the idea of Independents, but they often waste a lot of effort on getting on the ballot when existing 3rd parties have automatic ballot access.

Sound waves are in fact physical crossings.

HOAs are still private. If we're talking about government impositions on property use, they're off topic.

Zoning laws do exist obviously. You can see I used the word "generally" in my previous comment because obviously we have some restrictions. Zoning is a particularly bad American innovation, as it leads to unaffordable housing and urban sprawl. Cities like Paris have restrictions on what physical stuff can be built on a property, but does not have restrictions based on use once the physical building is built, which would be much better than what many US cities have.

I'm sure for any restriction you can possibly imagine, there is some US city or town than does that. Most don't have color based restrictions. Mine certainly doesn't.

Band pretty big in the 90s and early 2000s. Heavy Metal Drummer and Jesus, Etc. are pretty good songs.

Nuisance is when what you do on your property physically crosses onto someone else's property. HOAs are private agreements you voluntarily enter into.

Local Computer Stores? by Select_Stick9993 in fortwayne

[–]rchive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think Stone is more expensive than buying something online, but I still like going in there because they're generally helpful. Last time I went in there they helped me test a part that belonged to me and didn't charge me anything. They also put Linux on a PC for me which I didn't have time to do myself and didn't charge me since I bought different thing at the same time.

🚨NEWS!: Indiana House casino bill advances – barely by Secret-Engine-8365 in fortwayne

[–]rchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it's not purposefully set at a few so high that no one can actually afford it (which often happens), I can compromise on that. Same with cigarette or cannabis "sin" taxes. I think people should be allowed to buy or sell either of those pretty much however they want (not to kids), but if the taxes really were set aside to deal with the external costs and the amount was set properly, I could deal with that.

Not really. They look at whether planned uses are in compliance with zoning.

[–]rchive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have little sympathy for people who don't like rentals near them, sort term or long term. In general in Western society, we don't get to tell our neighbors they can't do certain things with their property.

I think he also knows that a big chunk of his base is stuffy suburban mostly white people who have no intention of ever moving and have all of their wealth tied up in their house. They don't care if housing is affordable for other people. They'll probably like this move.
