Any fruit was an apple, any animal was a deer, and any crop you get out of the ground was corn.

In latin the word for evil and apple are the same (malus) and an apple was any fruit so, the whole story about the tree and adam and eve is pretty confusing.

I think there are also similar complications in ancient Hebrew. Like, pretty sure serpent isn't necessarily a snake.

I don’t like being told what to do is a fine position except where the else part is “or death” and you decide to go with “or death” and now everyone who isn’t an rear end in a top hat has to perform heroics to keep you alive at the expense of people who legitimately couldn’t avoid it.

I think that, “Why the gently caress did a kid with a long gun cross state lines to inject himself into the midst of civil unrest?” would still hold if Rittenhouse had been shot instead.

He just never should have been there and the right wing rhetoric around guns, rebellion, violence and BLM are what put him there in any case.

I love that those stories take Christian apocalypse myths to their extreme conclusion and the answer is that the bad guys win the universe and the good guys get to go pretend they are the real winners, after they completely lose, in a fantasy land that has no meaning or purpose. The best part is that millions of people see that as a positive ending.

This is why the conservatives will win. We can’t even focus for more than a few minutes on the fact that the Republican Party as a whole has endorsed violence as their approach to political discourse but they can bring up nothings from 5 years ago and trot out the same old nonsense that was meaningless then and get their outrage on all over again.

No, he’s saying that a couple thousand asshats who represent a political minority that got trounced in the last election and are now trying to force the government of Canada to uh, dissolve by the expedient of blocking some roads is equivalent to the Civil Rights movement trying to end, or at least lessen, the systematic discrimination of an entire people.

An average of 150 dollars per person arrested. The arrests probably costs the public 10x that without even any of the post arrest costs.

By the time they are all out of the system the public will have paid massively to hopefully intimidate them into not doing it again.

3. The vast majority of car engines built for the past 50 years are made with hydraulic self-adjusting lifters. They don't NEED valve adjustments because they do it themselves as the engine runs - more precisely than any human could do the job.

Counter point. If the manuals today have warnings not to drink the battery acid then that's because yesterday some dumb rear end drank the battery acid. If they took out the instructions for *how to do hard thing* it's likely because too many people damaged their cars trying to follow the instructions and sued.

The things the old farts claim is the problem with the modern generations is almost always because it's a problem they created.

Ah yes, the completely sane and rational stance of equating a childrens book introducing the concept of 'two dads' or 'two moms' is the same as graphic pornography.

Pretty weird of him to just outright support slavery like that, huh?

You can hold the view that slavery is bad and that the emancipation proclamation likely overstepped constitutional authority at the same time.

Which also doesn’t make it a dictatorship.

The whole thread is dumb.

Edit: Lincoln was probably one of the foremost experts on the constitution of the era (see the Lincoln Douglas debates) and I expect he had a solid legal basis for the proclamation and its constitutionality. So I don’t think internet assertions of its illegality should be given a lot of weight.

“He told a general in July that “I think it is valid in law, and will be so held by the courts.” ”

By which I mean anyone arguing that the proclamation was illegal is probably arguing pre-textually.
