I don't really see what's objectionable about asserting that Jesus was a prophet—according to modern usage of the word—while acknowledging that he may not have met some religions' narrow definitions of the term. I can be as pedantic and prescriptive as any 40-something internet user about topics I consider myself well-versed in, but
Words we use have meaning even if you don't like them.
is some really misplaced 'old man yells at cloud' energy.
Maple MAGA would've been in charge if the USA didn't have their election first.
You're welcome, I guess? Best of luck to you, sincerely. I really hope that Raiders of the Lost Ark villain you've got up there never gets his clammy little hands on the levers of power. It's mind-boggling how little charisma these grifters have. Really makes me question its value as a stat.
Ok, so maybe (depending on the mythology one subscribes to) he wasn't a Prophet. Nevertheless, it seems inarguable that he was a prophet. Dude was mad prophetic.
I don't see how you've made your point here. Jesus being a prophet isn't mutually exclusive with his being the son of god, or so it would seem to a layperson like myself. If he can be the father, the son, and the holy ghost, it stands to reason he can be a prophet. Lots of hats, I believe he wore.
Great podcast where they go through the series, and interview some of the actors—Patrick Stewart and Patricia Quinn are definitely in there. https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/i-podius/
I really appreciate the effort you put in, here. Also, I thought the Nickelback guy was Dax Shepard for a minute.
As someone who voted for her, I'm completely on board with never seeing her or hearing from her again. She utterly failed — lost a (mostly*) free and fair election to a demented fascist idiot who's destroying the country. Enough of the responsibility for our current situation rests on her shoulders that she can fuck right off forever, along with Biden, the Bushes, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich and all the other neocons, neolibs, and corrupt, amoral, greedy, misanthropic assholes that got us here.
She might survive as a politician if she took responsibility for the loss, and pushed for change in the Democratic party. Hopefully, she'll do that, and not follow Clinton's example. Seems unlikely.
- There was probably some amount of fuckery, but if the margins were as wide as they should have been, they couldn't have pulled it off.
I wasn't aware that they'd done a miniseries adaptation! Adding to my watchlist, thanks.
I hated Myst as a kid. Not just because I disliked the gameplay, but because its inexplicable popularity heralded a shift in the adventure game market. Instead of more Sierra or LucasArts-type games, there were, for years, scads of shitty, boring Myst-likes.
I do have them tagged as "nazi trash", so that checks out.
I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.
Sounds like you're just lucky!
Several hospitals in China have been offering childbirth pain simulation experience for over a decade.
Yeah, that's the craziest part of this story. Why would any hospital do that? It seems wildly irresponsible.
I thought this had come out already? All the garbage is blurring together.
I'm only acquainted with her being a TERF. Is she a tankie, as well? That seems like an unlikely ideology for a billionaire to espouse.
I love how blasé this cat is. My dogs lose their shit when I sweep, let alone vacuum.
Was gifted a copy of Canopy a few months back. Played through the first game before we realized that there weren't any "middle" tree trunk cards (there are only tree bases and canopies, and you're supposed to overlap the base cards to make your trees taller).
Then, I promptly forgot all about it until nearly the end of the second game. Damned jungle.
'tisn't the least bit funny.
