Did you get any spaghetti noodles for this go around?

Likely too much nuance to matter, but in this case, the shame is relative to a fitness expectation for a certain kind of work, not relative to the expectations of wider society.

My personal favorite, from the Chicago march.

Also these two were incredible

It’s bracing to be around so many like minded people, but it’s important to remember that the hardest work is ahead of us.

Don’t mis-attribute to god that which was perfected through natural selection over millennia of our ancestor throat goats.

I’m trying to think but nothing happens!

Christianity predates capitalism. Evangelical Christianity is a much more modern development.

Have you considered getting hornier friends though.

Evangelical Christianity IS a manifestation of capitalism. It is the culture arm of capitalism.

No chance any of this is u know who, or maybe just your ego? Oh no, you know cause a gut feeling and old folks said so

In Evangelical circles, we refer to this as discernment. Discernment is great, it explains why the bible might be confusing to some people, why it might seem to definitely contradict itself, and why it seems to be so broadly open to interpretation. To navigate all of that, you don’t trust your evil sinful gut - you use Discernment

It’s spoken about as if it is a super power you get when you become a Christian. Unfortunately, you don’t magically become discerning once you become a Christian, and plenty of people are just dumb.

Yeah. Yeah. That is also obvious, now that you’ve pointed it out.

For one thing she’s smiling; should have been a dead giveaway.

Based on OP’s screen name, they might be going after a pretty niche, but surely thriving, target market.

I for one enjoy a frisky Lemmy.

This observation hit like a ton of bricks.

You’ll get no sympathy from me, Mr Primavera, if that’s even your name. Sometimes the effort is part of the flavor. Makes it a little sweeter.

Not to detract from the gravity of the situation but that big map up front is absolutely sick as shit though.

I assumed it was Doug Wilson for some reason.

I used to moderate a subreddit about talking to Trump Supporters, and my mod team was pretty small but we were close even though not all of us were Trump Supporters. I think about them a lot.

I also had this dynasty team on some mobile space war game, with so many branches and feeder teams and tons of in-game and real life geopolitics. It was wild, and again, I was really close with my fellow team leaders.

And in both cases I’ve never said a word to any of them since leaving basically. No Ill will, just going to a different school now, so to speak.

Let me tell you all about a little thing called buttered toast dipped in hot coffee. Hell of a breakfast.

Wait, were you born that way or are you talking about them? I am weirdly invested but confused.
