WFH is PEAK and we need to go back to that as a society. the concept of working at the office needs to be left in 2026.
- I wake up 10 minutes before work
- no 2 hour commute
- I finish my workday when I finish
- no 2 hour commute home
- I cook my own lunch
- get to spend more time with family and friends
- private bathroom
Where is the downside?
Proper Christian dilemma.
Kelvin: Pastor, according to the Bible, people are saved by accepting Jesus into their hearts, right?
David Oyedepo: Yes. Salvation comes through Christ alone.
Kelvin: Then I have a question. What happened to all the indigenous peoples of the Americas and Africa before European colonization? Entire civilizations existed for centuries without ever hearing about Jesus.
Oyedepo: God is merciful, kelvin.
Kelvin: But were they saved or not?
Oyedepo: The Bible says Christ is the only way to the Father.
Kelvin: Exactly. So were the Aztecs, Maya, Inca, and countless native tribes in Africa condemned simply because nobody reached them with the gospel of Jesus?
Oyedepo: We cannot fully understand the mysteries of God’s judgment.
Kelvin: But surely there are only two possibilities.
Oyedepo: Go on.
Kelvin: Either people who never heard of Jesus can still be saved…
Oyedepo: God may judge people according to how well they lived their lives, their works … or light available to them
Kelvin: Okay, but if that’s true, then Christianity becomes unnecessary for salvation.
Oyedepo: How do you mean?
Kelvin: Because if isolated people can be saved without hearing about Jesus, then humanity doesn’t actually need Christianity. We could simply live our lives and be judged by our actions and conscience…just like those indigenous people supposedly would be.
Oyedepo: Evangelism is still important.
Kelvin: But not necessary for salvation in that case. If people can reach heaven without Christianity, then Christianity is irrelevant as a requirement for salvation.
Oyedepo: Hmm.
Kelvin: But the other option is worse.
Oyedepo: Which is?
Kelvin: That people who never heard the gospel are automatically condemned.
Oyedepo: but The wages of sin is death.
Kelvin: But they never rejected Jesus. They were simply born in the wrong place and time. They were ignorant through no fault of their own.
Oyedepo: God’s ways are higher than ours.
Kelvin: Then that would mean Christianity describes a being willing to punish billions of people eternally for circumstances completely outside their control. It could even be argued that evangelizing to people is more likely to take them to hell than heaven since if they could live their lives without learning about Christianity and still make heaven , learning about the gospel but rejecting it because they were not convinced would take them to hell regardless of how they lived their life. Which makes evangelism a net negative for salvation.
Oyedepo: …
Kelvin: So either people can be saved without Christianity…. making Christianity irrelevant for salvation…or they cannot, which makes the Christian system evil because innocent ignorance becomes grounds for eternal punishment.
Oyedepo: Kelvin…
Kelvin: Either Christianity is unnecessary, or it is morally monstrous.
Oyedepo: We will be praying for you.
Zeev Buium: "I love Douglas, I love that guy, he's only been here for a little bit but he's a great person, he came up to me and said "Play your game feel free out there if anyone touches you, they're dead. They don't do that again" He's great"

Imagine saying any of these things today... The left killed comedy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Speaking of old crips, Snoop Dogg is here. On a past roast Snoop claimed I wanted to bang him. PLEASE! If I want to bang a skinny black man with braids, I'll call Alicia Keys."
"I would like to thank you, Donald Trump, for letting me make fun of you tonight. Mr. Trump, you are someone to be admired. You have overcome obstacles to become a huge success. You've put up more worthless hotels than an autistic kid playing Monopoly."
"It's great to see my old friend Jeffrey Ross here tonight, doing what he does best, sitting and watching funny people tell jokes. Wow, Jeff, you're even uglier than you were last year. Look at that hair. Look at that mop. I've seen better hair on Susan Boyle's taint."
If you think the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump was a choreographed stunt designed to make him look heroic, like or repost this. I just want to see how much common sense is still out there.
Wait: are we really doing this?
People are arguing about how Trump voted (mail vs. in-person)…
but ignoring the obvious question:
Isn’t there federal law about felons voting?
Eddie Vedder really took a backseat and didn't try to make the show about himself at all, just made a great contribution to the performance and added to the song.
There is nothing better than a singer singing someone else's song not needing a cheat sheet.
Watch how Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and R.E.M performing 'Man on The Moon, live at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions, in 2007.
Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred.
Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads.
So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks.
The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034.
Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt.
These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it.
A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.
John Cleese is a perfect example of Dunning Kruger. Spends all his day tweeting incessantly about the evils of Islam, misquoting the Quran, attacking Sadiq Khan, and making points about comparative religion that are demonstrably wrong. Buddhist extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Burma. Hindu extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to India. Catholic extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Northern Ireland.
