Same, our church growing up never talked about that. (disclaimer atheist now)

I know that scholars understand the “official” Bible as a combination of earlier sources. Still, it’s funny how much Bible fanfic there is. How do you decide which stuff is real and which stuff is too crazy.

Interestingly, while Quds news takes a very specific point of view that some will disagree with, their article is more informative than this one in terms of sourcing for the claim.

What is Timelinedaily? The story says “There are numerous media reports” but doesn’t cite any. I’m skeptical until someone can point to a reputable source.

What is “the cradle.co”? Does anyone have this news from another reputable site? I’m skeptical until then.

No sense imagining a hypothetical Jesus, but if you go by what the bible says, Jesus said “it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom is heaven.” He said sell all of your possessions and then follow me. The bible talks about how people in the church shared what they had in common. If someone had a need someone would sell their property and distribute it to those who needed it.

Of course they also thought Jesus was going to return soon, within their lifetimes, and bring a perfect world. Not wait over 2,000 years

I pay attention to that stuff. Would it be better if more people shopped thoughtfully? Sure. But it’s not “nobody” and if manufacturers know that such and such a metric impacts sales by even 5% then they’ll probably try to improve it. Even if they don’t try to improve it, it means I personally can buy in a more informed way.

Ah, “choke sex”

He’s a shit show, but SpaceX is still doing great. They have more launches per year than any other company or country. While they’ve had multiple launches explode recently, that’s their newer larger rocket where they’re still working out kinks.

If they can’t get that into shape eventually it could be a problem for the company, but their smaller rocket has a great record, reusable, a fraction of the cost of any other launch provider. Right now they’re the only game in town for the U.S. getting to the ISS.

I’d love to see Musk ousted, and more importantly to see real competition from other private launch providers. But don’t let Musk hate color your view of reality.

Wow, I didn’t know posting a 4chan style “we are anonymous. expect us” letter was all it took to get credit for determining a presidential election.

Even if you didn’t read the article, the op helpfully included the first few lines, which say that although Honda had said they were studying rocket technology, they made no announcements about this launch until it had already occurred.

Is it pedantic when it means the difference between life and death?

I’m not saying I agree with someone open carrying at a protest. I’m saying if that’s all they’re doing it’s not appropriate to charge them with murder, when if they were only open carrying it would be the security officer who overreacted and shot an innocent bystander to death.

A situation we could have avoided if there were stricter gun controls, but there aren’t.

I just posted elsewhere, but in short, there’s no proof that Gamboa brandished a gun, and I’ve seen a video which looked like he was pointing the rifle downward. Not saying it can’t go the other way once more info comes out, but just like when you shouldn’t automatically take the police’s word when they shoot someone, we shouldn’t take the word of private security.

Helpful link, thank you

This gif isn’t loading on my phone, but supposedly it’s the same as a video I had seen earlier - it shows Gamboa walking towards the street but his rifle is pointed down. It also shows the yellow vested people pointing their guns toward him. If the gif also doesn’t work for you, scroll further up in the thread to at least see screenshots. The op of that thread, Chad Loder, has been commenting on this shooting a fair amount. https://bsky.app/profile/nope-notnow.bsky.social/post/3lrp7xsx3vs22

That’s not the law, or reality in America. It’s a regular occurrence at certain protests for people to open carry weapons. Not saying I would do it, but it’s not sufficient cause to shoot someone.

What I’m reading is that the guy with a rifle, Gamboa, has attended protests armed before. It looks like the peacekeeper thought he was a shooter, but there’s no evidence so far Gamboa did anything illegal.

Was it historians who were saying Cleopatra was sexy or filmmakers?
