sad and amazing how true this is.

to find anything worthwhile in Google search you often needed to add site:reddit.com

to find anything at all on Reddit you needed Google

well, glad I don’t go to those websites anymore…

there are a few of us still bodging around out here.

I’m curious if anyone has experience with this stuff with an AMD card.

If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.

At this point does Google ever do anything that isn’t awful for the consumer?

Eject, friend, eject!

this is how the fediverse starts to take over and I am here for it

Both sides are all just humans being the worst we have to offer as a species.

Egged on by ridiculous stories about men in the sky, they fight for no reason when we could all just treat each other as human.

Same. Thought maybe some local woodworker produced a beautiful lectern.

No, turns out it’s from amazon with some spray paint and Arkansas is just being Arkansas.

Not going to agree with the commenter above, but I want to point out that this happens a lot:

A person who holds views that are detrimental to others comes to a community of those people and cries “why, when I am not quite like other people who hold these views, but agree with them on the detrimental stuff about you, do you not accept me?”

The people in the community try repeatedly to explain why holding views that harm others is harmful and that the person asking may need to revaluate their own views.

The person then says they’re being attacked. Everything they predicted about this community is coming true! They feel like they’re being kicked out!

And they are! Because when they came to engage then didn’t change, let alone evaluate, any of their own views, the community rightly showed them back to the door until they are ready to actually listen and put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

I am sure you feel like you have been badly treated at this point. What you do with that now is up to you. I’ll say this: I have no hate for you, I would like nothing more than to give you some feedback that might help change how you view some things. I hope there is enough food for thought here for everyone.

👍

I understand, that’s why I was trying to translate their statement into reality-based words. I thought you were defending their position based on your response.

But … they don’t mail the pills randomly. A person in the state where it is outlawed is requesting something from a state where it is not.

I don’t see how the CA doctors are in any way colonizing anything.

The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is “engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion.”

Are … are they trying to say CA doctors are mailing abortion pills to people who didn’t ask for them? What does this statement mean? Maybe what they meant was something like: “We do not believe women have a basic right to control their body, whether those women are Catholic or not, and that control should rest with the government of the state they reside in.”

Since it seems we are covering personal opinions, I think this is like all pride: sometimes it can be good and sometimes it can be toxic, often depending on who the person feeling prideful is.

I made no value judgement on this. I just pointed out this is common and it is surprising if someone doesn’t understand it.

You may not agree with it, but you understand it exists and that it is often tied to how someone is raised.

You seem very confident in a lot of what is written in a very old translation of a hodpdge of work.

You are drawing a conclusion I do not from the same text.

It seems odd to me that a divinely inspired work could be so confusing or open to interpretation.

And given so very many passages where Jesus calls for love, why do you spend so much time justifying your interpretation that says Jesus hated a particular group?

There may be food for thought here for both of us.

I’d be interested if you could share the original text, what you’ve shared is a translation. I don’t read Sanskrit or Aramaic so I am not sure I’d be super useful, but I imagine other people might be able to help.

It isn’t my holy book. I read enough as a child to figure out it wasn’t a divinely inspired work.

I don’t condone it, but when will businesses realize reforming the police is good for them and will stop shit like this? Not to mention maybe less time spent on drugs and more time spent on theft would be welcome?

Not sure why businesses aren’t pushing the cops to get their shit squared and stop killing so many people.

Thank you for citing the passages, but I similarly to the other commenter disagree that he is saying he hates them rather than their actions.

The word hate isn’t in there. I might call a gang a “brood of vipers” but that wouldn’t mean I necessarily hated them.

Lastly, and for what it’s worth, I’m not clear if the “Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees” are meant to be quotes of Jesus or if they are Matthew.

Still, thank you for sharing something specific and not just hand waving.

Cite the whole passages, friend. If you’re going to argue your point, bring the receipts and let people discuss. You’re making the claims…
