@drhingram It’s important to see the sea. You have to remember how big things really are. During my time in seminary I would drive down to Lake Michigan and just sit and look. It was enough to remember that we actually are on the right side of the chaos.
@allie__voss So I started drinking water, 500ml, 5 times a day. I chugged, I treated it like taking medicine. Now I love drinking water, if someone asks my first instinct is to request water, but I had to discipline my instinct and intuition. It’s work.
@allie__voss This is a current struggle. Our intuitions are corrupted by habit, they have to be disciplined. I hated drinking water and know many like that, can you imagine?
@MBurtwrites Kind of hard to think a child still developing cognitive and fine motor skills deserved that. I did learn however to use the handle of my toothbrush to flatten the end of the toothpaste multiple times a day, not just when I was brushing my teeth.
@MBurtwrites You have to be careful with a question like “did you deserve it?” Did I break a rule every time I got whipped with a belt? Yes. Did I get whipped with a belt once while elementary age for not properly squeezing the toothpaste perfectly from the bottom? Yes.
@CharlotteCGill I don’t know. Cable modems became widespread in 1999 in the U.S., and fake photos were widespread in file share groups for nearly a decade before that. It may not be as unrealistic as you are thinking.
@prevyhiphop@nypost The law in Alabama specifically applies if the student is under 19. This is the law specifically addressing the student/teacher relationship and shouldn’t be confused with concepts like statutory rape and other statutes that regulate sex with minors in general.
@Benjamminhere@DOMA_Misconduct@The_ACNA Or maybe since there’s a push toward geographical dioceses they felt like it might be helpful to the cause to have a bishop from the least geographical diocese in the ACNA.
@maggiemphillips@moveincircles I heard a very wise researcher/writer once say that most people who want to be writers actually want to have been writers. They don’t understand the work or process required to finish a project.
@monkofjustice If only there were a large area of the country that got plenty of sun, was arid and had sandy soil and not very conducive to agriculture.
@allie__voss How can two become one if they don’t join their finances? Most banks make it easy. We have a household checking account, earmarked savings accounts and each have our own checking that the other can see the balance and access. All deposits go into the household and are distributed
@ArlieColes@SherriKEdman@oblatenate Not that the use of AI isn’t something that someone might deny simply to, “protect the legitimacy of the process,” or anything.
