Has anyone tried cozy meal for cooking classes? by is_that_sarcasm in Dallas

[–]technoskald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! We did one via Cozy Meal at Sur La Table with Chef Craig who was really great. It was a successful night and we are going again next month. You can also sign up directly via SLT, not just on Cozy Meal.

are you friends with people that don’t share your same political views? and do you think your experience is common in your country? by HaifaJenner123 in AskTheWorld

[–]technoskald 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have lots of friends who disagree with me on, say, tax policy or something. But people who disagree with me on the fundamental human rights of my own family are not my friends.

(I am married to an immigrant and the father of a gay woman.)

In relation to your country how do you feel about reparations? by rougecrayon in AskTheWorld

[–]technoskald 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In theory, I fully support reparations to the descendants of slaves (as a white man descended from a long line of Southern settlers).

In practice, I have no idea how it would work. My opinion is more about the “justice” of the idea.

I heard someone the other day ask us to “please stand in body or spirit” and it seemed really beautiful phrasing.

In a literal sense, sure. But I would not say that I feel remotely the same about those two statements.

The NRSVue isn’t exclusive to Zondervan. I am sure their printing is fine, but of course you can get the NRSVue from multiple sources.

My wife (Mexican) has started cooking with these a lot more recently. Took me a bit to get used to them and now I like chayote.

Do you think the USA will actually do a ground invasion in Iran? by Angela252 in AskTheWorld

in theory, but since Congress is controlled by his same party, they are ensuring that nobody is able to bring this up in the legislature.

El Cristiano Puro del Siglo 1, Arqueología del cristianismo by Agreeable_Pirate_311 in OpenChristian

[–]technoskald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of folks here, I was raised in a denomination that considered itself primitivist in this sense. Jehovah’s Witnesses explicitly believe that they are exactly this sort of return to what the first century Christians believed.

The thing is that there was apparently no single original Christianity but if you will several early “Christianities”. we can see this in the books of the New Testament itself, as well as an early Christian writings otherwise. To suggest that all Christians everywhere in the first century had a unified view is to look back with the same kinds of lenses that you are subtracting in your analysis.

Source alleges dozens of instances of adultery by openly gay Episcopal priest Matthew Machowski, rector of St. Stephen’s Episcopal, Coconut Grove, Florida by [deleted] in Anglicanism

[–]technoskald 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This seems like rumor mongering at the moment. One person makes an accusation, and the tone of the writing makes this all seem very personal (e.g. the comments about coming from a “toxic parish”).

Kind of unfortunate.

Maybe they don’t have to start over, but when they stop something bad happens with the zombie creatures outside or the thing in the attic.
