I think that fundamentalist views come from a lack of knowledge of the religion itself. Seems kinda suspect that your pastor went to seminary and learned that historically the Jews didn’t come from Egypt but the land of Canaan, had zero cultural exchange with Egypt, and did the same things they called the canaanites evil for (looking at you sacrificing your daughter Jepthah), but with a straight face will preach the exodus and plagues to an ignorant congregation.

I was so Christian it became incompatible with modern Christianity, and I’m not the only one.

The truth doesn’t fear the light, or being asked questions and cross examined, and Christian’s fear nothing greater to the point they have to pretend the ultimate evil big bad is creating the questions, and not the lies they told us for centuries.

If the demarcation point is adulthood, it seems reasonable to believe the “younger gen z attend church or think religion is important” probably shows more that their parents make them go than anything.

Texas can’t even keep its own electric grid up because of their isolationist attitude. I’d honestly love to see how it would go if all the tax and federal aid were to suddenly dry up. That’s not even getting into having a passport to leave the state, tariff on imports, taxes on exports, then getting retaxed to come into the United States.

I wonder how firearms legislation would wind up.

Texas also most likely would be unable to produce its own ammunition and would have one fuck of a time establishing trade routes that would be forced to go through the Gulf of Mexico, an easy target with only one way out between two corridors. Given that the whole thing was over Mexico border enforcement, something tells me land trade wouldn’t be very reliable if it were feasible.

I’m not super versed on monitors outside of stage performances, and I didn’t do acquisitions. Don’t most people who use IEM’s for standard audio use a nice driver or prefer a device with a good audio out and lossless format compatibility? I guess I kinda assumed if you cared enough to distinguish using monitors instead of earbuds you care about other factors too.

Cool. You know that the majority of people have no clue what that even is, and that wouldn’t apply to those folks.

Anyway Congratulations on having a nice investment piece for your audio enjoyment

I broke one off into a jack in my entertainment center computer once, ruined my week until I could get money to fix everything.

If they were wired I bet you’d have to untangle them more often than you currently charge them

A decent pair can charge enough for hours in minutes. When they about to die, pop one out and into the case, let it charge until the one in your ear is dead or dying, swap them out, 10 minutes and you’re back to stereo for a few hours.

The fact you confused it for insurance is telling enough of what kind of legal trouble Amazon will have gotten themselves into.

It’s not insurance, it’s a telehealth platform, you’re still expected to pay for other insurance for them to bill who then bills you.

Maybe I should start billing people to explain how people get billed through other billing networks, creating a never ending chain of middlemen and thieves sneaking value added fees in so many levels under you you can’t avoid them…

I’ve DM’d you your billing invoice, thanks for being my captive audience a loyal customer

And it will only get worse…

Amazon entered the field by buying One Medical and advertising remote visits included at no extra cost for 9$ a month. I just got the bill for my first remote visit, 305$ to establish care. I figured okay, I just did the wrong kind of remote visit, so I tried to get help with a sinus infection I haven’t been able to shake, they straight up won’t do the included visit, they want me to do another multiple hundred dollar video call again. When you sign up they say video visits are free with no asterisk or limits given.

I make too little money to qualify for assistance, so I have basically been told by my country that I am an acceptable loss in the name of profits.

I’m scared, any doctor here can just refuse to treat me because they don’t think I’ll pay, or even better, in my home state they can deny me healthcare just because I’m on HRT.

We just got some bad news about my partners health, and potentially mine, so it’s not a “maybe this won’t impact me” kind of thing. I need medical help and treatment now, not in thirty years when we decide the Amazon death panels were a terrible exploitative idea…

Hassan Qafisha, who is affiliated with hamas and whose father was the head of the terror groups military arm in Hebron until he was killed in 2003.

Oh No! If only someone could’ve warned us back then of the cycles of violence…

“Psychological torture Has cleared things right up for me There’s one thing I know When they let me go I will be the man that they want me to be Yes, I’ll be the suicide bomber I’ll blow up a bus one day And so will my son And his son after that And then some poor new guy Will sit where I sat And he will be forced to wear poo for a hat And so on and so fucking forth Amen”

Jeff Bezos handed the CEO position to Jassy or whatever the fuck their name is prior to the rocket launch so if it went catastrophically wrong the stock price wouldn’t absolutely tank. Jeff is still a big shaker and mover with the board and effectively is still the CEO, even if not on paper.

As a side note, that was the trip they hyped up as “getting new perspectives from artists” and sent Shatner up there. When they came back down shatner was SHOOK and basking in the afterglow that a new perspective of the insignificance of their self brings and starts trying to articulate such a mind altering experience. Bezos met that energy by pulling out booth babes to champagne shower himself.

Was super tone deaf.

If you want to see it yourself just google “Bezos Interrupts Shatner Champagne”.

During the deposition, Clinton was asked “Have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1?” The judge ordered that Clinton be given an opportunity to review the agreed definition. Afterwards, based on the definition created by the Independent Counsel’s Office, Clinton answered, “I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.” Clinton later said, “I thought the definition included any activity by [me], where [I] was the actor and came in contact with those parts of the bodies” which had been explicitly listed (and “with an intent to gratify or arouse the sexual desire of any person”).

In other words, Clinton denied that he had ever contacted Lewinsky’s “genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks”, and effectively claimed that the agreed-upon definition of “sexual relations” included giving oral sex but excluded receiving oral sex.

Well played…

Just remember the first of those impeachment hearings was about the extortion of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy by threatening to withhold military aid in “a perfect phone call” If they didn’t run cover for the election interference allegations in the 2016 election and offer up dirt on Hunter Biden.

There is no timeline where the republicans would have received it any better.

It only took a couple of months after the invasion happened and they realized the withholding aid in the past looked like it created the atmosphere to facilitate the invasion and suddenly all the people who were praising journalists in body armor in the Middle East were criticizing journalists for wearing body armor in Kyiv, and start backing Russia for “reasons” (I still can’t really get any concrete reason from any of them).

The only reason I’ve been given why it was a “ Partisan attack” was that it was revenge for Bill Clinton being impeached for lying about a blow job under oath, as if that diminishes the levity of the situation in the first place.

I heard rumors that the Indian government switched to some specific Unix like that has accounted for a lot of that, but I have zero experience on the matter aside from someone saying that could be it.

So basically you can’t get a pardon for a trumped up life sentence until 5 years after you die?

Something tells me they were thinking about a VERY SPECIFIC demographic when they wrote those laws and they never imagined THIS PARTICULAR VERY SPECIFIC demographic would be held to the same kind of standard.

I don’t know if he was doing the Coffee enemas, but basically, yes.

I’m guessing stuff like Gerson Therapy where you fast only consuming fresh vegan juice and nutritional supplements while you give yourself organic coffee enemas to cure your cancer.
