In John 8:58, Jesus said "before Abraham was born, I am!" and not "I was."

My dad explained this to me as a teenager that God is present in every dimension. We experience time as yesterday, today and tomorrow, but God simply is, (1/2)

This case is essentially consent-based morality meeting and woefully failing all its stress tests.

It's time we recognise that consent is merely a baseline, and there's more to acceptable behaviour than a mere "the parties agreed"

[temu temüjin 🐴 @rawdogmillionar]

The thing is, this defense is completely airtight because Cornell girl somehow gave us 7 counterexamples and 5 thought experiments like

“well what if she revokes consent from a guy who already had it, oh, she did that and he listened.”

“Okay well what if she told a really rude pushy guy he can’t have sex with her. Oh she did that, and he listened.”

“Well what if she told them outright she’s tired and wants to stop now. Oh she did that and they stopped. Damn.”

To round it off, they even included a diverse cast of characters from all the races of man of every imaginable stock and breed

including a Korean man which is quite progressive because they’re usually not included in this sort of thing

This is like something that could be used as a thought experiment to explain how something ISNT rape

One of the easiest ways to avoid certain disappointments in adulthood is to stop making up false realities in your head in hopes to bend the rules of defined laws in society

Understanding what things are vs what they are not, will save you in most situations

Again bottom quartile of people… especially in VALUES, have way more impact on your quality of life than billionaires ever could

Especially the most violent and underclass amongst them.

My mom hired a young writer to sit with my 94-year-old grandmother in India and document stories from her life.

They met weekly for two years.

The process brought my grandmother joy. The result will bring my family joy for years to come.

I think everyone should do this:

We had planned to give her the book on her 95th birthday, but sadly, life had other plans.

After she passed in October 2023, we took our time finding photos to fill the pages. This week, we got to see the final product.

My mom found the writer through an elderly care service in India. Her request was for someone who would record and transcribe stories from my grandmother.

The writer was a recent university graduate named Raika Sengupta.

The process began shortly after the pandemic lockdowns ended in India.

Raika would visit with my grandmother every week.

Depending on my grandmother’s energy, they would meet for an hour or less.

Each time, they would pick up where they left off on her life journey.

Raika would record the conversation and then transcribe the recordings. Mostly in my grandmother’s own words, with some stylistic improvements where necessary.

My grandmother was an amazing storyteller, so the writing naturally flowed.

The weekly meeting became a beautiful ritual. During a time when there wasn’t much to look forward to because of COVID lockdowns and a diminished social life, my grandmother looked forward to these sessions.

They made her feel important again. Such a powerful thing at her age.

Once the writing was complete, my mother, a beautiful writer herself, took the pen on editing and converting the stories into a book.

She worked with my grandmother on the flow and filling in the gaps.

They added chapters on special people in her life. We wanted to add photos to the book, so the whole family got involved.

When I traveled to India in 2023, I got to sit with my mom, dad, and grandmother and go through old photos to include.

We uncovered some real gems. It was beautiful.

I didn't know it would be the last time I would see my grandmother in this world...

But her legacy lives on in the stories and pages of this book.

We had enough copies made so that all of her family could have a copy to remember her by.

I really believe everyone should do this.

One of the saddest things is seeing our grandparents feel they are no longer “important” to anyone. That they no longer matter.

The process reminded my grandmother how much she was loved and how much she still had to offer the world.

There are a variety of services (including some AI-enabled options) to make it seamless and cost-effective to capture, document, and memorialize the stories from your loved ones.

I would encourage everyone to consider doing the same for your parents or grandparents. It's a beautiful thing.

It’s literally the reasonable thing to do, idk why you’ll let someone else dictate your life cos of embarrassment

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Learning how to learn is the most important skill to acquire.

[Adenike Lanlehin @omotomilola]

Growing up, I was particular about not embarrassing my mum publicly, I never wanted to bring shame to her in any way. Today, I’ve got two kids and I’m extremely mindful of my digital behavior - solely because of my daughters. Older kid (9) uses my laptop for her math classes 1/

[Tomori @otomporo8701]

At 32 I was editing Papa Ajasco and Super Story, trying to become a director.

One night officers who had been drinking shot me through my car. I am 47 now. The hand is dead. I edit with my left hand for $10 and $20 so my children can eat. I won in court.

The police have ignored the judgment since 2015. The officer’s name is in their own report. Ayuba Philip ID 257745.

Please tag em until @TunjiDisu1 & @CspIniedu see this impunity. Thank you
