I aint cheeeing. I feel only anger that rear end in a top hat let 200000 at least die and Karma is a loving bitch.

I will cheer if McConnell tests positive.

The best outcome is if Trump has a tube down his loving throat come Nov 3 and the election is a wipeout. Personally I feel the chances of Pence being President 46 for a few weeks before Biden is sworn in got real

[e] Plus if he was gonna do that it would have been earlier in the pandemic so he could have time to "recover", not right before the election in the middle of debates where he could possibly lose votes

Yeah I pretty much would be hard pressed to pick a worse time - people are voting right now, he loses two weeks of campaigning on the road in the best case senario, he looks weak, he has been pinned to the overarching failure of policy that lead to 7 million infected, a million with chronic condtions, over 200,000 dead - there is nothing good for him at all. Asfar as I am seeing the chat and news is all about his failures and how his failures got him into this situation.

At his age and fatness, Covid is I think close to 15% fatality, chronic issues are another 20%, very VERY few people in his bracket get out of it easy. Sure, he has the worlds best medical services however that's not going to change the chances that much. There really is a good chance his fat rear end will be on a ventilator right on election day.

im not sad that Trump has the rona but i am somewhat concerned that this won't be a good thing in the long run

I honestly dont see how Trump gains from any senario TBH. Let alone there's a basically a coin flip he wont be able to walk on election day

"Per people on air force 1, he was exhibiting flu like symptoms after the debate

Pet Chris Christie, nobody was wearing masks during the debate prep

Hope Hicks spent 3+ days with Trump in a tiny room doing debate prep, and has infected at least two people, so far, probably also the RNC chair, which makes her a super spreader"

However you get to see the next month while rear end in a top hat-in-Cheif suffering as his campaign collapses, even more of his vile poo poo is exposed and it becomes clear he is going to get an epic wipe out all the while he gets a tube stuck down his throat.

Okay the last one is more of a wish but there's a really siginifigant chance it does happen.

I keep on wondering how a work can so much drama... then I look at the poo poo I post in AI Slack and think yeaaaaaah now I know.

And when you are a Sys_admin and you have to check logs and network reports you do get to see a lot of things esp in a huge company.

Like someone searching for cum tributes.

That tends to result in the inner BOFH awakening and putting in a network redirect to hint "Hey, dont do this...."

Trying being a sysadmin *for* a porn company. It really desensitizes you to many things.

Yeah I can imagine. And over 30 years I've seen a *hell* of a lot - so TBH it kinda just washes over me. What really makes me WTF tho is that users, even competent younger users bought up on tech have no real comphension people like us have access to see *everything* - not that I care mostly, the place I work for is just too big, spans too many countries and has waaaaaay too many systems to be sitting on the gateways and niggling over every bit of porn access. We dont get the budget to do strict lockdowns anyway so meh. It's only when I see exceptions that I go check - usually someone consuming a lot of bandwidth or spending too much time - or specific machines that are supposed to be production controllers

Whacking off at lunchtime or after hours? Oh whatever, I dont give a gently caress. A couple of hours watching MLP porn? Oh hey no you dont, you gonna get a senior sys admin and the CIO getting evil on your network redirects.


Still aint gonna top one of my guys in PNG getting murdered in a witchcraft ritual that involved having his spine ripped out while still alive. Which by the report he somehow didnt die immediatly of, it took an hour. For some reason staff from Australia and NZ have had a ban on travel to PNG ever since

Yeah my position on the homeless is that we're a rich enough country that we can provide basic services even for the assholes who don't deserve it. Sucks that we're cruel enough as a society to choose not to. We always paint the poor with a broad brush, citing worst case abusers of the system as a reason to not have one.

The Corona Virus actually proved you can do it easily - like in Sydeny there were thousands sleeping rough every night with no support services. Then it was like a loving light switch in that they got people off the streets and into accomodation, support services etc for the reasoning of they were especially vunerable to Covid. Just. Like. That.

Oh and then they raised unemployment benefits so people could actually live on it! Just. Like. That.

Support unsteady due to pandemic businesses so there wasnt millions of jobs lost? Just. Like. THAT!

And this is a bunch of Trump loving loving idiots we have that are usually screw the poor.

In all of this, the mutual obligations bullshit was dropped and a lot of people, for the first time were not loving starving. And hey, they even had the money to get a new set of clothes and do look for jobs, as lovely as the ones availible have been.

The real bludgers in society have been the rich. The real worthless assholes, the scammers, the takers are always the rich. They always find another way to get a few million off other people while you and I struggle to just see another year above water.

On the eye of the needle thing, it's pretty obvious that there's no rules lawyering it when you read the whole passage:


And the icing on the cake a few lines later:



In the context of the day, the message is more powerful and damning. At the time, a sign of blessing from God was wealth and health. Jesus here is directly contradicting this in front of a crowd of people who were learned in the Talmut and absoluty believed the wealthy ruler (or prince) was a especially blessed man. The gospels tend to read dryly but "astonished" is pretty much "Jesus said something completely contradictory to the days doctrine that pissed people off" - Jesus was pretty much the equivalent of the crazy street preacher of the time, except He demonstrated authority that the Pharasees didnt.

So the prosperity doctrine assholes are literally teaching the opposite of what Jesus said aka Power and wealth are NOT a sign of blessing, so stop hoarding your money and start helping the poor you rich assholes. There's no out here. If you are a preacher with 4 houses, boats and a collection of wealth you are going on an express elevator down.

Oh and He said pay your taxes. Well. Aint that a bitch?

Also "Camel through he eye of a needle" is likely a mistranslation of "Cable (aka thick rope) through a needle's eye) so there is no outs like some scholars like to try and say.

E: it appears I'm likely wrong, and hopefully someone who can read the original Hebrew will answer in detail, but the Islamic version agrees with CT.

The original text that was translated from was Greek and Aramaic. As I understand the translation from Greek to English was the problem where the words for camel and cable look very similar and the translator got it wrong.
