It's funny how as I read more into the Old Testament, the wider the canyon between conservative politics and Christian values becomes in my eyes.
Let me repeat: I'm reading the OLD TESTAMENT. The age of Law, not the age of grace. The "hard part" of the bible.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.
This is the most fearful leader America has ever had. He is terrified of losing his job and privileges.

Exercise equipment that can light on fire, water heaters that can leak carbon monoxide, dressers that fall, golf car vehicles that can fail to stop. It was another week of recalls here at CPSC.

Chaining single-player modes to an online connection is nefarious imo.
It constructs a needless reliance on the company just to enjoy the game on your own. Why? Why does anyone need EA or Blizzard to hold the virtual play area level for us? How is this needed or better than offline single player?

"Turn your monitor on" is a devastating retort but also just solid advice if you're trying to use the computer

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Trash. As soon as there's a workaround, you can bet I'm reposting it.
These people just cannot let go of a bad idea. They're trying to convince you that talking through your computer is one step from talking *to* it, which is patently insane.
Never accept this.
This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

do we know how much we are spending on these troop deployments
To be clear: Stormlight Archives is shaping up to be an excellent series, but I finished the first Mistborn arc and it's a top 3 all-timer for fantasy fiction.
Sanderson writes believable people and puts them into fantastical settings that feel like you could take a long trip to visit those places.
This is a brilliant & simple truth. Alongside trying to read my bible daily, I make sure to read something else that isn't an article or study related to the latest insanity or outrage (usually) caused by the American government.
Currently about 1/3 into Sanderson's "The Way of Kings"
Read Mistborn!
making myself read every day at least a little. at least a page. is the best decision I ever made

So have I seen a bird with clipped wing making affrighted broken circles in the air, vainly striving to escape the piratical hawks.
Boys will be boys until you teach them to be men...
Also, these boys are a couple decades-old, so don't fall for the narrative of "they're just kids."
They're grown men, whether they're immature or not.
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
I hope everyone who desires to meet and marry someone gets a person like my wife. It's her reflection of Christ in her own life that truly makes who she is shine. Having that in your life is worth everything.
Choose "best" every time you can, not settling for mere "better than."
I wanted to brag on my wife, but it came out a bit different. I'm still gonna brag on her, tho. She is an undaunted bastion, founded on Christ. She is courageous & kind. She is humble. Her cares go far deeper than most anyone I've ever met. She's smart & hard-working.
A true Proverbs 31 woman.
We don't excuse the other when we fail and lose our tempers or make a choice that wasn't based in true practical love. We accept real apologies, we help each other through our struggles and failings, and we remember that God brought us together, keeps us together, and sustains us through every storm
I married my wife because no matter the flaws and failures I have, she sees me as Christ sees me, and loves me with His love. In turn, I do the same for her. It's never perfect, because we aren't the Lord Jesus Christ and this isn't heaven.
She works through this life by my side, my life partner.
This doesn't mean it's over, nor is this the search for "The One," because no person on this earth will ever be perfect. There will be a person who is perfect *for you,* though.
I found this in my wife, and I continue to see it proved out based on the truths and safety we established early on.
If the person you're looking to marry isn't your safe space - if they do not (different than cannot) give you the safety and security to be the person you were created by God to be, then you need to have some serious conversations with them about the future.
