@naomibrockwell To clarify, by "accept cash", I'm referring to them not making it hard to pay with cash, not that they literally don't accept it.

[Jacob @APT_ea]

@naomibrockwell One major advantage to living in a small town with an aging population is that most businesses still accept cash. Even so, I've noticed most areas around me (even more developed, busy areas) still accept cash. I haven't used anything but cash in physical stores.

[Jacob @APT_ea]

@AliceWillNot @naomibrockwell Well, legally, yes: they have to accept cash. But many businesses make it really challenging to do so. I'm just fortunate to live in not only a great small town but also an area that doesn't really push you one way or the other, aside from those goofy fast food kiosks lol

[Jacob @APT_ea]

Kinda shocked how many likes/RTs this got. I assume someone RTed it that had a decent reach. Either way, it's pretty cool considering my account was falsely suspended just a week ago and restored two days ago.

In case you happened to believe that ID collection systems ("age verification") was actually about protecting anyone, they're already starting to drop the act and show their true intentions: they want the death of privacy.

@bavedikian @BestBuy @FedEx I stopped buying from Amazon because a driver chucked delicate electronics at a concrete front porch and BestBuy, you tell me, has betrayed us...

[Brandon Avedikian @bavedikian]

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.

The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.

But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”

Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.

I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

My birthmom was raped. That is how I was conceived. She was young, not quite 16. Family demanded she abort me, and offered to pay. She said no.
During an ultrasound, doctors saw I would be special needs. I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. The only thing that changed was she sought out a family who would want a special needs baby.
My parents were qualified and willing to raise a child with special needs.
Of course, when I was born there was no sign of hydrocephalus, but that's a story for another time.
Special needs babies deserve life. They deserve love, care, and life.

@APT_ea Using privacy tools now counts as suspicious behaviour. That's like reporting someone to the police for having curtains. Absolute shambles.

@Andrewnsnyder And the cavalier hat!

[Andrew Snyder @Andrewnsnyder]

We should bring back the tricorn hat.

@APT_ea Another true intention of what this bullshit is so that way they can make it easier for bad actors like stalkers, groomers, hackers and so on track down their victims.

This is why they hide it underneath "child safety" so they can make people believe it like a bunch of sheep.

@Andrewnsnyder I have yet to read Children of Hurin (~1/3 through The Silmarillion), but I love the whole idea of "Morgoth's ring". It's a good lesson that evil always overcompensates and either tries to conquer everything, or centralize its power, until it topples under its own weight.

@Andrewnsnyder I can't believe this psycho is even eligible for office, let alone actually IN office 😒

[Jacob @APT_ea]

After about a week of waiting, my account was restored. It was falsely suspended over "inauthentic behavior", but has since been restored.

I'm going to be finding alternative communication methods with my friends in case something like this happens again.

@monoofjapan Is there a US tour on the horizon? I'd love to catch a show!

Gentlemen,

Not every besetting sin in your life is purely a spiritual problem.

The sin is real. Repentance is necessary. But sometimes your body is making the battle harder than it has to be.

Do you battle with anger?
It may be sin.
It may also be sleep apnea.

Do you battle with lethargy?
It may be slothfulness.
It may also be low testosterone.

Do you battle with anxiety?
It may be sinful fear.
It may also be poor sleep, a bad diet, too much caffeine or nicotine, or a nervous system that has been running on fumes for years.

The point is not to excuse sin.

The point is to stop pretending that men are disembodied souls.

You are body and soul. And sometimes the body is dragging the soul into a fight it is too exhausted to win.

Over the last eight years, I have spoken with countless men who were fighting difficult besetting sins they could not seem to overcome.

I have seen men who regularly flew into rages so intense they seemed ready to give themselves a stroke.
The issue was solved with a CPAP machine.

I have seen men who wanted to be hard workers, but could barely drag themselves out of bed.
This was solved when they found that they had low testosterone.

I have seen men with severe brain fog that made them poor fathers, husbands, and businessmen.
This was solved when they discovered that the issue was mitochondrial dysfunction, systemic inflammation, or other underlying health problems.

Many of these men were able to identify the issue with something as simple as a blood panel or a sleep study.

Many were able to improve dramatically with a CPAP, a few peptides, dietary changes, better sleep discipline, or other targeted interventions.

Again, this does not excuse sin.

It simply means that some men are trying to fight spiritual battles while their bodies are collapsing underneath them.

Repent of your sin.

But also get your bloodwork done. Fix your sleep. Clean up your diet. Take your body seriously.

You are not a ghost.

You are a man made of body and soul.
