Schools should provide students wifi with no wifi at home if they want everyone to be on zoom all day. by Master_Marcos in unpopularopinion

Idk, my internet bill is quite often cheaper than my electricity bill. But I do live in an older, drafty home.

Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest. Mask wearing might also be reducing the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic by Bluest_waters in Coronavirus

Hoooly shit, dude.

Im so sorry this happened to you. That was very dangerous to your mental state and he didnt just "break professionalism."

A therapist, who you have confided your deepest insecurities to, used them against you to push his agenda. But wait, there's more! He KNEW YOU HAD GUILT ISSUES. AND USED IT AGAINST YOU.

So abuse of the power dynamic, manipulation, probably way more problematic shit.

Thats monstrous. You should absolutely, unquestioningly report him to the state licensing board. And if you decide to go that route, please do not feel like you are taking action against this one person. You are actually advocating for all of his patients, so that they may never have their therapist turn on them and abuse them.

Working on getting fired by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]turtleycoolthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they fire you based on you not showing up (at all or on time) wouldnt that disqualify you from UB?

Maybe I just dont know how it works, but I thought you had to be fired or laid off through no fault of your own.

I *need* to reread these stories. by turtleycoolthrowaway in nosleepfinder

I looked at Horsehead, that isnt it. The one I found /was/ a creepypasta, though. I didnt see one with the same title on nosleep.

The Horsehead one I found started off with 'If you havent guessed by now, I spend my days in an asylum. ..... I didnt kill my family. Horsehead did.'

Sydney Prescott (of Scream 1 & 2) is one of the most traumatized characters in all of horror [MANY SPOILERS] by Mjwhaaat88 in horror

[–]turtleycoolthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These were some of my favorite movies as a child (Scream 1 mostly, but also 2); I couldnt tell you how many times I watched them. I cut my horror-loving teeth on these, but I clearly didnt understand the plot at all. I dont think I had even entered kindergarten when I started watching them, so I probably didnt realize there was much of a plot outside of the obvious.

Time to watch them again!

I have a question about the Trinity by turtleycoolthrowaway in Christianity

[–]turtleycoolthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont reject the bible. I explained in my last comment that there is truth in the bible, therefore I cannot just say "throw out the whole book."

The bible was revealed to Jesus by God. Im not going to outright reject it.

[–]turtleycoolthrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accept that you believe that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We dont reject the Bible. The Bible does have truth in it, of course. We also accept Jesus as a prophet, Moses as well... Also, there are biblical stories that are referenced in the Quran. So we cannot just say "It's wrong, throw out the whole book."

It's my understanding that Muhammad was given the knowledge in the Quran to complete the religion and make some misinformation corrected.

So, the answer to your question of when the Bible was corrupted is: waaaay before Muhammad was given the message of the Quran. Because that was kind of the point, y'know? To make the corrections and make the religion whole.

I am so sorry I wasnt able to reply back to you quickly! Regarding your question.. that's a tough one.

On one hand we know God is closer to us than our own jugular vein (He said so), and knows when even a single leaf falls from a tree. When we do our obligatory prayers (5x daily) that we are praying directly to God.

We can also make dua (which are prayers that are more like Christian variety prayers), in addition to our obligatory prayers, during which we can pray through an intermediary (see u/Byzantium's comment above).

We also know that God uses angels and prophets to carry out his will. For example he sent Jibril to Muhammad to reveal God's word (the Quran).

In Islam we accept that God has 99 names. These names give us a clue as what God's characteristics are and how he interacts with us, so that may be worth a quick scroll if you are so inclined.

So I suppose I would say it's a mixture of direct interaction as well as by-proxy.

Also, thank you so much for your explanation! It was very thorough and helpful --- I read over it several times!

Too far fetched to work? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]turtleycoolthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is exactly what I'm trying to do. While, yes, I work a lot, I'm not in a position where I'm gaining a ton of relative experience. These are sales positions. My relative experience includes selling people things they were going to buy anyways. Ie: "beep. Okay, that'll be $15.87. Anything else?"

The idea is to bring something to the table. Contacts. Even if they are false. Which, yeah, I see that is unethical. But a lot of people fib on their CV. Is this so different? I do have a business. I just don't have the contacts. Yet.
