》 Matthew 10:34-36

》Ignores all of the other many lines in the chapter saying not to fight

Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Matthew 10:16

Brother will delivef brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns before the Son of Man comes. Matthew 10:21-23

It’s almost like cherry-picking random lines to oppose other random lines isn’t viable.

Creative writing tells me that he’s realizing that the shit barge he lashed himself to is sinking and the daft cunt has no idea what to do, so he’s just drinking himself to oblivion while waiting to see how it all shakes down.

Most people don’t feel the need to kill someone, but if their life depended on it, they’d kill in self-defense.

You’re conflating the “need” with the “ability”.

Do we have to accept the pardons made by a criminal? I’m sure the complicit figures in government will abide by it but I don’t think they shoyld get off scot-free because of a pardon. They shouldn’t be valid.

I was flummoxed for a while because it sounds like this isn’t even related to what I was saying. Until it clicked that it wasn’t.

I only said to be wary of anthropomorphizing non-human creatures. Saying all life explores is assigning the human definition of “going out and charting the uncharted” to all of the exploration that any creature that actually explores does. Other interstellar species could go into space for perfectly practical reasons, like their planet is dying or it’s over capacity and they don’t want to cull their population. Assigning “human wanderlust” as a facet of all (intelligent) life isn’t correct.

How much “exploring” do sedentary lifeforms (plants, mussels, etc) really get up to?

That’s ascribing human motivations to non-humans. They could be fundamentally non-curious, only using their relative intelligence to solve actual problems in their environment rather than pushing for “what if?”.

The joke is that quantum mechanics are difficult to understand, so the commenter doubts their ability to properly explain it (to women). The replier assumed it was a dig at women’s intelligence, not a reflection of the original commenter’s intelligence and ability to explain.

I.e. a stupid person would have difficulty explaining anything to women.

Do you…think Hisense is in charge of releasing those? Or TechRadar?

Kids can’t contribute to FOSS because then it’s child labour.

First, Epic, now Oracle.

I’m never gonna get another job in software, am I?

Edit: I physically let out a cry of pain after reading possibly 10,000 engineers of varying seniority had been fired (incident was reported on LinkedIn and judged based on the dip in Oracle’s internal Slack membership count).

Yeah, I should just start trying to move into a new field, huh.

A lot of trouble comes from people’s declining reading comprehension.

No, FenrirIII, it just makes you ugly.

What?

Yeah, he seems like he’s sold his soul to the very Republican political machine. He “believes” whatever Republican inertia points toward.

This is the polite version of what I was thinking. Well done.

Vis a vis, the nudes inclusion: on the first – and a very honest – level, I’m just uninterested. Eastern Europe puts out a lot of porn, so I can pretty much picture the equipment she’s working with.

But, on a more enlightened level, looking at her nude in response to her opinion feels like commentary on the worth of women tying to their sexual availaibility.

She sucks, and not just because she sucks for pay.

…why not just “magister” and avoid a word that already has very strong, current connotations with fantasy?

Was this fucker on Epstein’s island or something? Why is he gargling sack, and why has no one told him it’s a bad idea to do it to Israel?

Neat.
