Ah, we were taught to avoid the NIV as it was like the Merrium-Webster of translation; a bit more adapted for the modern Pentecost, so obviously it would be lenient compared to traditional translations.

You shall make no idols to yourselves; and you shall not set up for yourselves graven images, or a memorial pillar. And you shall not set up any image of stone in your land in order to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.
He went pretty ape shit about the golden cow—as believable any part of that story goes. Catholics seem to be all about idoloc knick-knacks and getting all stabby and controlling over them… Like, the opposite of what a Christian is meant to do.

“The grass is blue.”
“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”
“Bro, your own source says it’s the chemicals in grass that make it green LOL.”
“That’s correct.”
“So you think just because it appears green from the chemicals, it’s green?”
“Yes. It’s certainly not blue.”
“Actually without the chemicals it would be translucent which would be reflective of the sky, making it blue like how the ocean does.”
“Sure. Except there’s chemicals that make it green instead.”
“I don’t see how you’re not understanding how stupid that is. It’s not the grass that’s green.”
“And in your analogy it’s not the grass that’s blue.”
“You clearly don’t understand science and I pity you. I won’t waste any more of my time. Good day, sir.”

- Comment on Small dogs are a big problem for posties, as Australia Post reports over 55 attacks a week 1 week ago:
Micro hellspawns are created by behaviours such as picking up dogs during social interactions or to calm them. Also raising voice to tell the dog off for barking or being aggressive. But then also lack of socialisation and mental stimulation, especially since many small dog breeds are actually working dogs.
Basically exactly what to do if you want to train an aggressive, loud dog very rapidly. There’s no such things as an untrainable dog. If a dog is behaving that way, it’s doing exactly what it was trained to do by the owner’s poor handling and knowledge.

- Comment on Indigenous singer Emma Donovan alleges entire taxi rank refused to serve her at Perth airport 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, nah. I find this incredibly hard to believe. It’s extremely unlikely that even one behaved like that. Australian taxi drivers are immensely racially diverse, as it’s one of the easiest jobs to get when first arriving here, and all would sell their child for a $20 fare. And you’re telling me an entire rank of 20 drivers are somehow all racist toward indigenous Australians, like at levels they’d refuse a job? Yeah, nah.
Something seems off, like it was more her behaviour or condition. Or, ya know, the album she just released…

Back when I was young, I put The Used - On My Own on in the car and my mother said, “This guy is really overly emotional. It’s like his dog just died.”
I thought she didn’t understand how hard it was to have a break up. Now grown up, yep, I get it. I hear that song now and I’m just embarrassed lol.

- Comment on i don't get you 1 month ago:
Yeah, it’s often unsuccessful. I think the more common success is getting someone to do something in reaction, like…
“You never do xyz”
“I always do xyz.” And now does it more for the other person to notice or to prove a point.
Also people bringing in ad populum, preying on social insecurities, I’d say is quite common too. “People think this of you” stuff by people close enough to them to be a valid source.
Anyway, if you want to see bad examples of gaslighting attempts—and a myriad of other budget grade colloquialisms and common fallacies—you’re in the right place 👍

The only thing correct so far is that assumptions often lead to being farcically wrong.
But thanks for the chuckle. You’re like the MacGuyver of character development.

It was a logical choice and subsequently worked out as intended, which was much better.

I thought Jobseeker was an emergency fund to assist with seeking jobs. I’ve literally opted for.homelessness over Centrelink payments because I knew I’d pick up work fast—and I did, KFC, which paid more, had free food, and was less effort while I kept looking for work. Feels worse to be on Jobseeker than to just pick up shift work and look for jobs while doing that. There’s no shortage of shift work.
- Comment on Sex work decriminalised in Queensland after decades of campaigning 1 month ago:
Good.
There’s such a different culture about it now. My friends that have done/do it enjoy their jobs much more than the rest of us. There’s so much safety and professionalism involved. Loosening the laws on it only improves and legitimises this more. And at the end of the day, it’s not the state’s job to be involved beyond full support for its working citizens.
I hope it’s not overturned. That will only create potential for ongoing harm in the face of something ultimately innevitable.

- Comment on EPIC personality test. Which personality are you?!? 2 months ago:
Even the introduction and preface of it clearly says it’s not a thing, it’s a generalisation to aid and to not take it seriously. It goes above and beyond to ensure people aren’t dismissive or admissible of it in some psychosocial cultist way.
Are you sure they didn’t have you do some dodgy Facebook one, or did you tune out in that part?

- Comment on EPIC personality test. Which personality are you?!? 2 months ago:
Isn’t it meant to be a categorical insight?
I was always under the impression it’s obviously non-scientific and simply there to explain the broad aspects of a personality to others quickly.
Maybe that’s the real personality test. Exposing how prone someone is to tribalism over self-reflection based on “I am a…” vs “My outcome was…”
