I see your bankruptcy, and I blame it on years of mismanagement and stagnancy (YouTube)
Because I go on Lemmy for the news and for uplifting discussion. Many of my beliefs, such as kindness, compassion, and personal growth do not cause a stir here. However if I discuss some of my other beliefs, I will generally be down voted because the overwhelming majority of users here disagree with me. My goal when using Lemmy is to have constructive conversation, not contention. I want everyone to feel welcome, and in return, I want to feel welcome myself. Hope this gives you some context for my earlier “ignorant statement.” Happy Thanksgiving!
I am religious, but nobody on here wants to hear about it.
On the plus side, blood draws at the doctors office are a breeze!


I’ve never had to solve Captchas to use archive.is before, sorry you were the lucky one. I’ll use a different site next time.


I have to try this now.


Don’t Google that


The headline is a bit sensational. The bug only manifests in rare conditions, like large file writes, and the error state resolves on reboot. Additionally, it only affects some models of drives. Still. Good to be made aware of. Thanks for sharing!
You can run from USB to see how it works without installing, then install once you’ve found one that works well/that you like. Let us know how it goes!


Driving a pickup truck as your commute vehicle. The mileage is terrible, and you have reduced visibility in front of the hood. Get a safer and more efficient vehicle. It’ll be cheaper!


A guy of debatable intellect who plays video games for money, and a guy who performs poetry of debatable quality to music.


You may want to include this context in your original post, as without it, it comes across like you are making a blanket statement about the blanket statement.


The thing is, Jesus quoted the ten commandments, and taught that they are still in effect, the same can’t be said for most of the rest of the Old Testament though.


Here are the verses I could find with some quick searching: Deuteronomy 22:28-29 “28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.” Exodus 22:16-17 “16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.” Both of these require the rapist/seducer to marry the woman and to pay the standard dowry amount to the woman’s father. The exodus verse gives the father the option to reject the marriage, which is a good addition! (IMO since the Deuteronomy version was written later, the rejection clause might have been left out in later versions of the law.) Both of these verses are from the Old Testament, which Christians mostly use for cultural context, as Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses during his ministry. Most Christians take laws that only appear in the Old Testament as historical, but no longer consider them doctrine. Also, the culture of Old Testament believers was significantly different and so applying these laws to todays Christians doesn’t account for then assive cultural differences. (For example, Exodus 22:18, right after the passage above says “18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” Which has been used out of its cultural context to justify actual witch hunts!) In conclusion, both versions of this historical law are considered superceded by most modern Christians.


We had something like that last year called canvas. It was great! !canvas@toast.ooo


Done and does


I have a brother in law who is a therapist, and whenever the subject of finding meaning in dreams comes up, his response is basically: we don’t know what it means, and it’s probably not worth your time to overanalyze it. This is especially true if the dream is a one-off out of the blue. Repetition of the same dream or dream theme might indicate a larger emotional or mental situation, but it might not.


How are we supposed to be aware of the potential scams if they don’t post it though?
But why? Name one reason it’s better besides your personal aesthetic preferences
Edit: I appreciate everyone’s measured responses. Thank you for answering my question, and not escalating my ill-advised knee-jerk comment. I stand corrected :)
