Mince Pieface posted:Who Knew that inflamed hair follicles are cause by gluten intolerance and not by avoiding the shower for 3 months?? That actually looks like (pretty severe) keratosis pilaris, which is just an ordinary skin disorder which is not in any way caused by gluten.  Source: my daughter and I both have it.

AtraMorS posted:From the public comments of a local paper's story about Georgia's governor vetoing one of those Religious Freedom to Discriminate laws: If it wasn't for all the Fortune 50 companies and CNN headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia would be Alabama. Although I think the risk of losing SuperBowls in the new 1.5 billon dollar stadium finally killed that bill.

Karma Monkey posted:Well, I think it said something about stoning them to death, so just denying them cakes and flowers would be progress, if it weren't for the fact that it's 2016 and not all Christians even agree with this poo poo - so basically just a bunch of bigoted assholes using their religion to legitimize their bigotry and lovely personalities AKA assholes being assholes like they've been since day 1 of humankind. The bible is actually pretty clear about not treating other people like poo poo irrespective of who they are.

Eh, it could be an unusually sparse breakout of dermatitis herpetiformis, which can be caused by exposure to gluten. Which is why things like "gluten free shampoo" aren't ridiculous; sone people get rashes from shampoos and body washes that have hydrolyzed wheat proteins in them.

I guess this is more mishandling of their social media rather than typical users. This weekend was the centenary of the Easter Rising a significant event in Irish history that was basically the catalyst for Irish independence from Britain. It was definitely a bloody event and a complex issue and a big part of its effect was how Britain executed the leaders turning public perception against themselves. Anyways the Telegraph has posted two articles on their face book page drawing comparisons directly between it and Islamic State. The comments are full of people going ape poo poo.

I mean, it *could* but it looks exactly like keratosis pilaris like Kennedys said, which is far, far more common than real Celiac disease (and is managed with lactic acid scrubs).

Brawnfire posted:Can that be linked? I tried to find it and failed Hrm the first one seems to be missing but here is the link to it on their site http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/islamic-state/12205271/Islamic-State-and-the-Easter-Rising.html The one still on their facebook can be found by searching this page (there is a search function in the top left below the profile picture) with "Easter Rising". https://www.facebook.com/TELEGRAPH.CO.UK/?fref=ts It's pretty irritating to read because they treat the backlash as incompetence as opposed to horrific. The biggest example is Connolly who was going to die of injuries he sustained during the rising being tied to a chair so he could be propped up long enough for the firing squad. Calling that incompetent handling of the situation is pretty rich imho.

oldpainless posted:I know a guy who sincerely believes that if an illegal Mexican goes to the government (idk if it's a building or a person or what because he's never more specific than just the government) they are immediately given full health coverage and keys to some place to live and some money. A friend of mine just did his taxes apparently, because he posted online that he had to pay $1000 because he didn't have health care last year. By the 2015 standards, the fine is 2% of your income above $10,000, so if he's telling the truth, he made like $60,000 last year. But I happen to know that he lost his last well-paying job years ago and his unemployment ran out at least two years ago, he's now living rent-free with his mother (who, to be fair, probably shouldn't live alone), he sold his house, and whatever money he does have goes to camping equipment and his car and poo poo. He probably has a low enough income that he can get on our state's program where you get Obamacare for like twenty bucks a month. But no, his giant steel boner for hating the government is more important. He's generally pretty nice but a while back he came out as a dumbass racist and now everything he posts annoys me.

Getting out of a bad situation can fix that, but only if they realize they are associating with the wrong people. Hard call, no judgement. But either split or help.

So THATS why my conditioner says it's gluten free. Huh, always read that and imagined some poor sap drinking some shampoo/conditioner, making GBS threads their brains out because its soap and then yelling at no one in particular "GLLUUUUUTEEENNN!!"

The unicorn metioned in the Bible is clearly a metaphor. It's something of a transliteration, since the Hebrew word is 'Re'em', which was a legendy one horned wild beast from Jewish folklore - unicorn is the closest concept in English. That fuzzy rhino is adorable.  And in the Old Testament, the two greatest commandments from the Law of Moses are "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind" and 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself', which Jesus quotes. And in the books of the Prophets, one of the reasons God is angry at the Isrealites and sends them into exile is because for their lack of love and kindness to each other.

"I read all about the scourging and the crowning with thorns and I could viddy myself helping in and even taking charge of the tolchocking and the nailing in, being dressed in the height of Roman fashion. I didn't so much like the latter part of the book, which is more like all preachy talking than fighting and the old in-out. I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens. That kept me going."

If your suspicions about his actual level of taxable income are correct, his AGI is way below the filing requirement, so he shouldn't be assessed the Individual Shared Responsibility Payment. If you want to help him despite his propensity toward making racist comments on social media, point him toward IRS form 8965. It's just one page--all he's gotta do is put his name and SSN on it and check "yes" for 7a, then submit it with his 2015 taxes (if he hasn't sent them in already).

The Centenary was a big deal though, 2022 will be the next event because that'll be 100 years since independence.

trickybiscuits posted:I know a few people like that. For reference it's not that simple. There is a formula, but you pay the result of that formula or the flat rate, whichever is higher. I think that for a single person with no dependents the flat rate is $975, which means that is the lowest possible amount he could pay unless he isn't filing at all or got an exemption. Basically there are going to be a shitload of low income people paying a penalty of exactly $975 this year.
