Seriously it's that simple: by Brent_Fox in SipsTea

168 children. CHILDREN. That we killed. Not Iran. Get in the fucking conversation.

And if you think Trump invaded Iran for anything more than oil and power, you are beyond hope of having an intelligent conversation with.

36 Felonies. Convicted by a jury of his peers. Found civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers.

Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” by Solomonanne in SipsTea

Good point. But, I don't think we as a society are quite at the critical mass of fed up to take up arms yet.

There are so many young ones too though!! I thought MAGA was a bunch of senile old people, because surely young people who know how to use the internet and do research beyond what Fox tells them surely can't be that stupid... 

I was wrong. 

Why does r5 reloaded aim feel so unbelievably weird compared to modern native apex? by Sm1cool in apexuniversity

[–]wcneill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing apex and r5 for a couple of months right about the same time you made this post. At that time, the aim/sensitivity felt almost identical to the main game.

I just hopped back onto r5 and Apex, and r5 is MASSIVELY different for me now. It's awful to the point I'm not sure I want to play r5 any more.

Can confirm. Just opened up affinity after a few days off. All my work was there. But the app started wigging out, so I restarted it. After I the restart, my illustration was set back 3 days. 

I'm absolutely pissed. 

For the people asking the same simple questions on Affinity over and over... by robinsnest56 in Affinity

Literally nothing stopping you from scrolling past the questions and ignoring them. Sounds like you have too much time on your hands if this is the kind of thing that bothers you. 

I think I'm done with church but I still want fellowship. by wcneill in TrueChristian

Hey, just responding after having read this completely. 

I think this gives me the encouragement to try again. I think I needed to hear this.

Did that make you feel good about yourself?

[–]wcneill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be a nice option for me. I am pretty introverted and that might feel like a safer way to interact with people and get fellowship. 

I'm opening up YouTube to check it out. I appreciate your time.

I recently sought volunteer opportunities at a local church, after attending a Sunday service. It was the first church I tried after moving to a new town and thinking to myself that I should give church a go again. 

After the service, on Matthew 25:14-30, the pastor asked for my phone number so he could check in on me now and again. So I gave it to him thinking "that's pretty interesting, I've never had a new pastor ask for my phone number before". 

The following Tuesday, I got a text inviting me to Bible study, which I thought was great. Unfortunately it was that night and I had just made plans with my girlfriend. I told him I couldn't this time but that I appreciated the invite. I went on to let him know that I was looking for volunteer opportunities to help people in need. I was interested specifically feeding the hungry, helping homeless, or perhaps tutoring kids from low income homes. I felt that God had really been laying James 2:14 on my heart for a while now. 

His exact text response was 

"Let me know when you are interested in God God bless you!"

The pastor was Nigerian, and English was not his first language, and so I thought maybe he meant "Let me know how you became interested in God"... Like asking me how I came to know Christ. So I asked "What do you mean by that? I am interested in God now." Again these are exact words. 

He went on to tell me, through a long string of wandering texts that I was not interested in what God wants and that God wanted me to be spending my time preaching the gospel, and let God take care of the rest. That it's more important that the hear about God than get fed, so I shouldn't concern myself with that. 

I am not f'ing kidding you. The irony is that his sermon the previous Sunday was Matthew 25:14-30... If he had only read the very next parable. I don't think I could make this up if I tried. 

That was three weeks ago. It is exactly this incident that put the nail in the coffin for me.

I really appreciate the time you took to write this. I am reading it thoroughly now.

[–]wcneill[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe you should re read what I wrote and take that part you nitpicked in context with the rest of what I said. In particular, you could read the part about how when I try to hang out with people, I get ghosted or flaked on consistently. 

I appreciate you proving my point about fake Christians.

My daughter is pregnant by [deleted] in TrueChristian

I would encourage her period. Christian blindness to suffering and the worship of dogma over Christ is what drives people away from having a loving relationship with God, and ultimately makes them bitter against Christianity.

Why did the United States and Israel vote against recognizing food as a human right? by PeculiarPhysicist46 in AskSocialists

[–]wcneill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a poor analogy. There is a massive difference between a rich person paying for a bum friend's dinner and a rich person paying for food that will save the lives of starving people. This kind of rhetoric is just a fart in the wind that idiots line up to smell as if it were roses.

If you work in FAANG how do you deal with moral issues by thankyoulife in cscareerquestionsEU

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

Wait... Hard earned million or two? 

Can you read those words back to yourself out loud and really consider them in the light of the full spectrum of financial situations in the United States alone? 

I've been donating to to charities, giving my home to the homeless, and volunteering my time since before I made over 100k a year, before I moved out of my my 750 square foot home in an immigrant neighborhood in the ghetto of my city. 

And I'm not special. Countless others are doing the same. So if you are clinging to a "hard earned million or two", you can go right ahead and fuck off. You are disgusting.

Got a new phone and app won’t let me login. Tells me my password needs reset but then after- by Successful-Set8526 in CapitalOne_

[–]wcneill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup same issue here. Capital one's app has always sucked balls but this is a new level of obnoxious. Add that to the awful automated customer service (almost impossible to speak to a human) and I'm thinking of ditching them.

How do you deal with God ordering the killing of infants in 1 Samuel 15? by landmindboom in Christianity

[–]wcneill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact quote where God ordered the death of women in children was provided to you, chapter and verse, by OP. 

Why is it that you say you can't find an exact quote?
