Public schools absolutely should not be teaching thing things like "You should trust the Biblical witness about the life of Jesus." They should be teaching things like "You are a cultureless bumpkin if you don't know these 150 Biblical references, and also you can't understand America governance without having read Joshua-2 Kings at least once in your life."
This way of teaching the Bible would be societally very very very good and the people who will end up howling loudest about it are, of course, evangelical Christians.
Ok but I have no idea what *turn the AC down* means. Does this mean you used the AC less, or that you cranked up the AC to lower the temp???
Daily communication issue in my house.
Most men must decide between 3 women:
1) a girl with blue hair and crooked teeth who makes a fantastic sandwich
2) a large Dutch woman who won't stop telling jokes
3) a girl whose religious convictions prevent her from moving with you to within 10 miles of a zoo
Most women must decide between 3 men:
1) A man she is intensely physically attracted to, but who destabilizes her life because he’s chaotic, impulsive, and probably addicted to something insane.
2) A man she feels safe with, but who does not sexually excite her at all.
3) A man she loves, but who energetically feels more like another child than a leader.
***there are rare exceptions of course. Men who create real sexual polarity without bringing chaos, dysfunction, or emotional instability with them. But most women never meet one.
its not enough for us to turn AC off in the summer. if we actually care about the planet we need to run the ACs in reverse and take increased temperatures inside our homes and workplaces so that we can cool the common environment of this starship earth that we share
If an English guy says that Bangladesh has a culture of raping kids, he goes to jail. If a Bangladeshi guy says that Bangladesh has a culture of raping kids, he gets out of jail.
everyone is posting about using pangram to detect if writing is AI or not. i opened it, fed it some text i knew wasn't AI (because i wrote it), and it flagged it as 100% AI. the highlights here are the supporting evidence:
driving. the lane to my right ends. i let in the first two people: behold my loving mercy. i am a magnanimous king. letting the next 3 people in: i feel nothing. every car i let in after that was a scum person: each one an immense spiritual burden. i guess thats who i really am.
The most illuminating part of the letter is screenshotted below:
-- Apparently, Giants management did not convey to the players that the wearing of the Pride uniforms was not mandatory. (Perhaps because had they done so, many more of the players than were strongly enough motivated to engage in protest by writing Bible verses on their Pride hats would have declined to wear the uniforms.)
-- "The players were neither fined nor disciplined, *nor will they ever be.*"
The league has just issued official league-wide guidance giving every player license to opt out of Pride celebration without penalty. Let's see how many players wear the uniform next year.
everyone has already 100% adjusted to the post AI visual milieu. complex charts and images dont register the same way now. its shockingly difficult to notice: the largest shift in human visual culture ever. if youre being honest its often hard to remember what it was like before.
