On a quick search I’m seeing displayport to HDMI adapters as cheap as $6 on Amazon and $2 on eBay.

I wish any of us could live to see the Star Trek universe. I doubt a child born today will live to see it. It remains to be seen if we can ever stop backstabbing people in service of a false hierarchy.

I’m suggesting you watch Black Dynamite, one of the best comedies ever made.

Fuck you. I sweat a lot. My socks are wet a few minutes after putting them on.

Donuts don’t wear alligator shoes.

You’re right but maybe don’t hate on the desperate.

Nah fuck the company too. It’s a person let’s execute it. Capitalism will find a better solution right?

Elon fucking Musk is getting a position created for him that’s going to be the kill the poor department and he is naming it after a meme.

My co-worker damaged a piece of one of my tools on Wednesday. I was trying to fix it and I almost started to cry. Had to take a break. It’s a five dollar thing. It wasn’t about the tool.

They’re saying that the insurance they have will not cover any of the cost of the other brand, so they have to pay full price. Many medicines are absurdly expensive here because the drug maker makes their money from insurance companies, not so much the people buying it. It’s absurd, stupid, and backwards.

The concept of Alpha and Beta males comes from a poorly run study on wolf behavior. The author has admitted their conclusions were false. It’s a fake idea with nothing behind it. If you want to be taken seriously and engage with others you should remove terms like “beta cuck” from your brain and see the world in a different light. It brings to mind a scrawny, basement-dwelling 4chan kid. Certainly not an “Alpha”.

I love the game I just hate having to build the houses and manage the people. It’s not creative it’s just make these boxes in this certain way.

This article specifically mentioned only changes to the computer hardware, not the cameras.

Good way for people to remember the difference! Even my wife had this one mixed up for a while, and she’s very sensitive to confrontation. So I confronted her and she was angry for a bit but now she says it correctly.

I have a good friend who thinks teetotal means very drunk when it actually means no alcohol consumption whatsoever. I’ve brought it up to him a couple times and he reacts negatively. I haven’t heard him say it since the second time.

I don’t want to be a stick in the mud about these things, I just want people to improve their communication so they are respected and taken seriously.

If I see something like a there/their/they’re mistake I just stop reading the comment. Probably unfair of me but I just disregard the person’s opinion. And before anyone wants to tell me that not everyone speaks English as a first language, it’s actually native speakers who make that mistake. People who learned English later in life generally know the difference.

wary=cautious

weary=tired

I’ve seen this several times and never noticed. Holy shit why‽

This is pretty common. Same for my mom.

So curious what your first name is.

Those are good examples from the ESV which I haven’t read. Have you considered the difficulty of translation from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English? The church I belonged to as a child handwaved this away as all the translators were divinely guided to preserve the meaning of god’s word.

That seems improbable at best and honestly silly in general. My church followed the King James translation which has so many problems. Was ESV created to be an easier read of King James or did it go back to an earlier source?

I have no doubt in my mind that the god of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) must be a tremendous asshole. If he exists, then I want nothing to do with him. All the depictions of heaven I’ve been offered are endlessly praising this god while basking in his glory. Sounds like shit to me. Why would a god who created humans need them to worship him? I find the idea perverse and disgusting.

Finally I’ll mention the council of Nicea, the council of Rome, and the council of Florence in determining the Christian canon. There were many writings about Jesus from roughly 300AD and they had to decide which to keep and which to toss. Were they guided by god in this? In the curated canon these councils produced, god promised not to directly meddle in the affairs of humans in the new testament, until judgement day. So if he guided these translations and councils was he not a liar?

I am very curious by what metrics you have found Christianity to be the most probable of all the supernatural explanations of worldly and otherworldly history and current events.
