Honestly I wouldn’t even bother saying it’s an annotated Bible, as long as it’s pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it’s the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using “the right” translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I’ve made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children’s adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases (and the people not following court orders) and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

“we cannot get out: the end comes soon we hear drums drums in the deep. They are coming”

I have several hobbies that could make bank if I wanted to put in time and effort.

That requires treating executive dysfunction, which can’t happen unless I have money. In order to get money I have to work jobs I absolutely hate, and that suck all energy and will to live out of me, and I don’t want to do anything with my hobbies.

If I didn’t have to worry about food, housing, and whether I have electricity or not, I could sell a handful of things a month and be just fine on utilities and a luxury purchase every so often.

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can’t be a bad thing?

You poll them on policies, and suddenly everyone is a “far left extremist” for wanting safety nets and basic standards for human existence.

Former coworker kept saying he was republican, but he disagreed with them on a fundamental level about nearly every social issue, including guns.

He was all for anything and everything about collective bargaining, the workers uniting against management, but god forbid you use the “U” word.

Agreed every day about this social safety net needs expanded, that program needs better funding, more programs like this or that should exist for people in need, but once the dreaded “S” word comes out, suddenly everyone is a commie. Cause you know how socialism is actually communism and all that.

As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves “holy shit, I’m gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?”

At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.

I’ve got a couple busted laptops and some loose memory floating around, I just need to find one of my working hdds.

Technically I have an extra one but it’s acting as my media drive right now and I don’t even have a backup of it…

I definitely want to make the switch BEFORE my current setup dies, since it’ll be easier to transfer/convert everything I can.

I haven’t read it in full in well over 15 years, but that comment made me go find it.

I am not okay today if this is making me cry and I just woke up an hour ago…

I love it

Same.

Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won’t work in reverse…

I still have the flashlight.

Okay look, when my current drive fails I’m never EVER reinstalling Microsoft,cand I’m not getting another Microsoft computer. Macos was never even an option…

So One Day™ I will chomp down hard on that cracker…

I even broke out my old laptops to see if I could salvage an hdd to give current laptop (with space for an extra hard drive) a separate (if smaller) Linux drive.

Sadly all 3 were unusable, they literally freeze everything that tries to access them…

But I pinky swear I’ll be making the swap Soon™

I think my wife has shown me a video of him?

I hate to make assumptions but honestly how many quadruple amputees can manipulate and shoot a gun and have made videos…

I’m sure it’s more than one because people sure do get curious as to how… But still.

*that isn’t personally losing their house

They tend to only care when it hits them

I was just about to say “the blessing of being a full grown adult that loves finding Nemo”…

I always wanted to hear that joke the right way…

It’s important that those 100x are to different people.

Your coworker sound like my grandpa.

“Our Glorious Agricultural Fields” vs “Their Barbaric Farming Practices”

Military personnel taking time out of their taxpayer-funded training exercise to get some social media material.

As former enlisted, an argument could be made they were AWOL. They were not in their designated place at their designated time, and did not have permission to do the thing they did.
