Also, being radically anti-Islam, they circlejerk about the crusades and therefore claim to be Christians despite never having read a single passage of the Bible.

The first question anyone who finishes the bible should be "where does your authority come from?" in reference to any and all Christian institutions.

Even the old testament tells people that only a prophet can relay the words of good and that people should demand a prophet demonstrate true prescience or they do not speak for god. The old testament is all about taking nothing on faith and demanding proof all the time. Even from god in person.

The new testament hosed all that up though, Thomas' big problem is that he wanted evidence that his buddy actually came back from the dead instead of just blindly accepting it.

Take advantage makes it sound like more of a conscious choice instead of just the final evolution of men upset with their lack of control over women in modern times. Church isn't that thing your mom makes you go to anymore, so now it's a tool for hating brown people and keeping women in their proper place.

I googled it since I was wondering if he did anything new other than being a crotchety old drape wearer and saw he got fired. I have to say, it's utterly unsurprising that he said that and also surprising he actually got canned for it.

I'm also mildly surprised he's still alive.

Wasn't always a grenade, sometimes there was a sniper no one took cover from that only shot the officer. That really only happened way out there though.

Gustav Hasford, the guy who wrote the novel The Short Timers (which the movie Full Metal Jacket is based upon), wrote a lesser known sequel called The Phantom Blooper. A "blooper" was a nickname for an M79 grenade launcher, and the titular Phantom Blooper was rumored to be a US marine who'd deserted and joined the Viet Cong. He must have been very stealthy and also a very good shot because he could sneak up to a base perimeter in the middle of the night and lob a grenade into the camp, scoring a direct hit on an officers tent, then disappear into the jungle without a trace. He was never caught because he did it when no one was looking, so the ol' Phantom Blooper is probably still lurking out there somewhere. That's really something to think about, isn't it, Lieutenant?

A while back I saw a bunch of pages from a current elementary school math textbook and it was pretty much as you describe. All simple concepts that rely on understanding numerical relationships rather than memorizing techniques by rote, but when written out longhand it seems needlessly complex because it's just hard to describe.

For instance, to subtract 74 from 122 it might go something like

okay, so that's pretty close to subtracting 70 from 120
and that's just subtracting 7 from 12 but ten times larger, and we know that's 5
so 120-70 must be 50
then it's actually four less than that because we subtracted 74, not 70, so it's 46
but it's two more than that because we started with 122, so the answer is 48

And like, that's pretty much exactly how I'd do it in my head, just without vocalizing it. But when you write it out it makes people lose their minds because it seems more confusing than two minus four is 8, carry the 1, etc

I do a lot of napkin math at my job and this is literally the system I use, except I was taught the old way of doing math and just had the idea to do it this way on my own. It just seemed easier but when I try to explain it to people their eyes glaze over.

VALIDATION! :kiddo:

The iFunny white supremacist beat

I unironically love internet culture sociology, I wish I could've specialized my degree in gender studies on it. I grew up on the internet, basically, and kinda got all my social understanding from it. It's like studying the culture that I grew up in, and of course, I'm a rather good example of an early zoomer.

That positivey aside, would these be the kids of quiverfull or other insane Christian reactionary movements? It'd make sense that they'd radicalize like this if they did ACE after they've had 20 years of perfecting the indoctrination. It's a rather chilling thing to consider. And these are very likely going to be permanently hosed up and refuse all treatment, even if we get gay socialism going.

Now I'm sitting on my toilet reading this headline, and seeing which news page it came from. I see 229 comments and I say to myself "I bet 200 of those are people going well what about burning the AMERICAN FLAG HUH?!?"

(Public page, gently caress the bigots)

And on, and on, and on.

When it's this many people you gotta ask yourself: "Do they REALLY not understand the difference between burning an American flag that you own and stealing/destroying private property for the explicit reason of bigotry?" Are they actually incapable of reaching that conclusion? If you explained it to them, would they change their tone?

No, they're just poo poo.

The OT has 611 (@ me) laws. The talmudic is ~2 Million words arguing about those 613 for 3000 years. With a lot of it rules lawyering.

TinTower: Apr 21, 2010; You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

My favourite example of rules-lawyering from the Talmud is this:

quote:

On that day Rabbi Eliezer brought forward all of the arguments in the world [in favor of his position on a certain matter of ritual cleanliness], but the Rabbis did not accept them from him.

He said to them, "If the law agrees with me, let this carob tree prove it." The carob tree leaped a hundred cubits from its place in the garden. The sages replied, "No proof can be brought from a carob tree." He said to them, "If the law agrees with me, let this stream of water prove it." The stream of water began to flow backwards. The sages replied, "No proof can be brought from a stream of water."

Again he said to them, "If the law agrees with me, let the walls of this schoolhouse prove it." The walls began to shake and incline to fall. Rabbi Joshua leaped up and rebuked the walls saying, "When disciples of sages engage in legal dispute what is your relevance?" In honor of Rabbi Joshua the walls did not tumble. In honor of Rabbi Eliezer they did not right themselves, and are still inclined even to this day.

Again Rabbi Eliezer said to the sages, "If the law agrees with me, let it be proved from Heaven." A divine voice came forth and said, "Why do you dispute with Rabbi Eliezer, for in all matters the law agrees with him!" But Rabbi Joshua rose to his feet again and exclaimed, "'It is not in heaven.'"

Some time later, Rabbi Nathan met the prophet Elijah and asked him, "What did the Holy One, blessed be He, do when rebuked by Rabbi Joshua?" Elijah replied, "He laughed with joy, saying, 'My children have defeated me, my children have defeated me.'"
