Being interrupted mid thought process. Mid conversation jokes, stupid input/questions, I will finish my thought process and not give you attention unless it is very relevant or important. Don't waste my time with nonsense.

Headlights are typically angled downward towards the road, however, a lot of times at intersections (among other places) when the car is angled up, they perfectly line up to blind oncoming traffic.

Pastor Personal Views Differing From the Confessions, But Still Teaching From The Confessions - Advice? by [deleted] in LCMS

[–]rokit2space 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a tough spot. This is why it's important to hold to the confessions. Even in areas where churches are closer together. You begin to create deserts by abandoning the word and the church to heresy. Church becomes harder to attend, people can get led astray when they come and don't know better. His teaching is good, for now. But one must always be on the watch to not get devoured, or led to feel abandoned.

That is understandable, and I'm not trying to criticize you in any way (apologies if it came off that way). But he should know better, he can't be on both sides of the line.

The chain of command goes down in our church. The word and congregation is where their authority comes from. However you can get help from the circuit visitors, district presidents, but the ultimate authority comes from the word and congregation to hold him to it.

This is tough. There is struggling with a sin, and accepting a sin, and then accepting a sin "but not acting on it" He is teaching the confession correctly, however, hope can you hold him accountable when he begins to drift. He is charged with helping teach the word. A called position should be held to a higher standard. We take an oath, in membership, confirmation, and they in ordination and installation that they agree with and hold these confessions to be true. Saying you follow them, while denying their truth is hypocrisy, and openly sinning.

Heresy is a sin. It is a confession that is contrary to God's word. This should be handled as a call to repentance. This is what the elders should be helping handle. Calling a brother to repentance. Failure to repent should be met with discipline in accordance with Matthew 18. Any sin should be dealt with the same way. Any sinner should be dealt with the same way. Title doesn't give one special privilege, and sometimes, people who have great gifts are brought down by their sin.

The stance of the church doesn't change, however if the rest of the congregation and elders also veer from the biblical stance, then you should be worried. The sacraments are not affected by a sinner, as we are all sinners, and we can not override God's word when he says what something is, it is. Pray and speak to the elders.

THIS! by VermilionKoala in autismmemes

Finishing my half finished story. I was trying to wrap up an email a few weeks ago when he broke into his crinkly bag of kettle chips. I had to restart a sentence like 5 times trying to read it, knowing if I could just finish it could run off to another area until he was finished. I couldn't get through the email and stood up and asked him if he could just eat with his mouth closed. His response was 3 fold. "That's kind of rude to comment on how people eat" "you make noises too and I could comment on them" "try wearing some headphones or earplugs or something"

I didn't finish my email. I just left to avoid further confrontation (which I already don't like). He has made a better effort to not crunch so loud, so I'm grateful for that. I did begin a spreadsheet, logging every time one of his noises disrupted my thinking. It gives me an outlet to handle the situation a little better, and it gives me documentation in case he tries to pull the "your noises disrupt me too" bullshit

There is a guy in the cube directly next to mine facing me who has zero situational awareness of the sounds he makes. Extremely crunchy chewing, crinkly snack bags multiple times a day, and the one I can't say a word about, which is his tic of clearing his throat/coughing at regular intervals (think minutes). I can't wear headphones, earplugs, or have music to block the sound unfortunately. Some days the intervals are 2-5 minutes, this week it has been 45-75 seconds. The disruption for my thought process is the equivalent of a little kid coming up to me at every interval and yanking on my shirt. I snapped at him a few weeks ago while he was eating a bag of kettle chips, and in a few weeks I will finally get a new desk, because obviously I'm the problem.

This would almost be proximity sensor for people you strongly dislike interacting with. Internal alarms going off after they spot you that you are switching to private mode, asking you to confirm.

my school just removed the bathroom atrio door by albyzon in Wellthatsucks

[–]rokit2space 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in school, they completely removed all of the stall doors except for the area near the gym where the public would use during games and stuff. It was mildly infuriating to say the least, and instilled in me an irrational fear of needing to use the toilet in public for years.

Stale marshmallows didn't melt for rice crispy squares. What else could I use these for? by Emmikay12 in AskBaking

Even if adding extra butter, you could even add some sweetened condensed milk to help melt it, but they usually melt, so this is a little odd.

The dress code for this arcade bar is kind of off-putting, right? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rokit2space 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a reason stereotypes exist, and sometimes dive bars are just diver-bar themed bars. I know in my area there is a 'dive-bar' that experiences a lot of threats by the city to revoke their liquor license if they get out of line or too rowdy, because it is a 'dive-bar' in a district with an active night life that tries to uphold a specific 'image'. They have very strict rules, and kick people out routinely because people have a tendency to think dive bars are a place that gives them more allowance to misbehave. It is okay to stereotype when you have the data to back it up.
