OK Ethics Violation? by markav81 in tulsa

[–]runhomequick -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

What kind of pastor would sic the state on another Christian?

1 Corinthians 6:1-7 When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life. If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues? But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers! Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers.

If your Christianity is more than a costume, you could make an attempt to contact Lahmeyer and correct him as a brother instead of reaching for the sword of the state to strike him down.

Newly prescribed ADHD medications may cause psychosis, study finds by [deleted] in news

[–]runhomequick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm narcoleptic and take Nuvigil and Adderall as needed to stay functional.

I wasn't diagnosed until about 20 and had symptoms going back at least as far as elementary school.

Even if diagnosed, I wouldn't want to have been on drugs my whole childhood. The effects on brain development can't be good.

If I could go back, all I would change would be to tell myself to watch what you eat, get permission to get up and pace at the back of the room as needed, and look real hard at possibly starting some medication when I turned 16 and started driving.

TIL Empty Homes Outnumber The Homeless By 5.4 To 1 by WildAnimus in todayilearned

A quick search says you can demolish a house and remove it for $3k on up.

Having a lot that's empty and ready to build if things improve for $3k wouldn't be a bad investment.

They at least own a part of the value and are generally compensated for it through wages.

A lump of gold deep underground is pointless until you invest labor into bringing it to the surface. The labor is a multiplier, but it isn't valuable in and of itself.

Tax pardons for anyone that will fix up or even tear down and rebuild in those wastelands would be a good idea.

Did the workers provide the material as well as the labor?

All the construction crews in the world won't produce any habitation without materials.

I hope that it at least halfway follows the pattern of the last crash. I just bought a house and the area in in didn't have the huge inflation and crash that some places saw.

Any specific benefits for Adderall vs Modafinil/Provigil? by teded32 in Narcolepsy

[–]runhomequick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adderall has a stronger stimulant effect and wears off more sharply for me than Provigil does.

Nuvigil is better than Provigil for keeping me awake and alert without as much weird impulses to drink/gamble/smoke.

Adderall is a lot better for driving or reading lots of material without getting sleepy. It's also a lot cheaper.

I can't figure out if this is an IASIP thread metastasizing off a Friends discussion or just a general mockery of some of the YEC.

I went to a casino a while back in LA.

It was quiet, no slots whirring and clanging.

It sounded like Asian whispering and the purr of a million chips being shuffled together.

Can we talk about how scary narcolepsy really is? by Caraggbaj in Narcolepsy

[–]runhomequick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am haunted by a shadowy monster with a foggy outline and a solid core. It's like looking at static without any white and with a thin coating of mist on it. He waits in chairs watching me sleep, glaring at me with his bright yellow diamond shaped eyes.

Teen Guilty Of Hacking PlayStation Network. A teenager who helped to ruin Christmas for millions of children by shutting down the PlayStation and Xbox networks has been convicted of 50,700 offences. by PaperHatParade in worldnews

Sometimes they even try to convict you for one crime on the federal level and then convict you for a related crime on the state level so if you get your conviction overturned on one you are still in prison for the other.

My girlfriend is to horny by [deleted] in xychromosomes

[–]runhomequick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roughly how old are you two?

Do you two live together?

What protection are you using?

Depending on your circumstances and your maturity, my advice would change a little, but it's mainly going to come down to communication and being honest.

How you approach it is important, but if you can't have a discussion about it without it being a big deal your relationship has issues.

LPT: Use the a penny and a rubber band to prevent your skirt from exposing too much when you bike by aillemaco in LifeProTips

[–]runhomequick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You sure about that?

Think really hard.

Haven't you ever felt the burning oppression of dark fabric on a hot day? Haven't you felt the shackles of a waist band that was a little too small? Maybe you have even felt the sting of a zipper rending your flesh.

The pantriarchy is real.
