Whenever the men lift up their hands to address God, I want their hands to be clean, not soiled with resentment or quarrel. In the same way, women need to present themselves reasonably - with dignity and self-discipline. Not with extravagant hairstyles, golden jewelry, expensive pearls, or decadent clothes, but in alignment with the values of a woman who claims to serve God: by setting a good example in how they live and behave. Let them learn, but they must be calm and composed students. I will not give my permission for a woman to seize control of teaching from a man. They must conduct themselves peacefully. Remember the story of Adam and Eve. Adam, who came first, was not deceived, but Eve, who came later, was tricked into doing wrong.
You believe this is the correct translation yet it doesn’t change the problem at all.
“women need to present themselves reasonably - with dignity and self-discipline. Not with extravagant hairstyles, golden jewelry, expensive pearls, or decadent clothes, but in alignment with the values of a woman who claims to serve God:”
Where is the admonishment that men should do the same?
remember what I said about Ephesus being the seat of the matriarchal Artemis cult.
" I will not give my permission for a woman to seize control of teaching from a man.
Even if the problem is that he is talking about the Cult of Artemis, it cannot be an admonishment that ONLY WOMEN do not have permission. There is no mention that men or women shouldn’t follow pagan religions. It is only an admonishment against women. As such there is no textual support that this was anti pagan rhetoric.
Again Paul says that he doesn’t support women to seize control of teaching. It therefore cannot be about the cult of Artemis.

you have the choice of either believing and following (assuming the Christian god) to go to heaven or not believing and following and burning in eternal torment.
That’s known as Pascal’s wager. There were many criticisms by Laplace, Voltaire, and many other philosophers. The problem is it presupposes that the only God is the Christian God defined in the Bible. Whereas other Gods (and there are an infinite possible God’s) such as Zeus wouldn’t condemn you to torment for non belief. Plus the infinite Gods that would torment you for praying to the wrong God.

I’ve printed 10 so far and haven’t used the screw/nut. It fits so tightly that I’ve snapped the plastic trying to redo one of them. So the screw seems unnecessary.

The paragraph before it says this: “Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”
So that too must be just a letter and not a doctrinal command from god.
And Paul says “I don’t permit.” Not “You shouldn’t permit.” So it’s also how the rest of the Christian church was run. It wasn’t a special instruction for Timothy because of special circumstances. Not that ANY circumstances justify such a prohibition.
“Don’t allow heresy.” is fine. Paul doesn’t doesn’t prohibit Men from teaching heresy or dressing immodestly. (The excuse some give is this was a letter because of the Cult of Artemis.)

The Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Except for all those bits I don’t agree with which are mistranslations. And those other bits which you have to ignore because of the context of the time it was written.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 21 hours ago:
this has been terribly mistranslated
Ther original is in Greek. There is no mistranslation.
Paul says, “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet.” If it was about heretics, it would have said so. If it was about Timothy’s church only, he would have said so.
Paul said “I” don’t permit it. He didn’t say “You” shouldn’t permit it. That means the Christian church, even without the cult of Artemis, should not permit women to teach or have authority over men.

Yes the CMYK precision rollers are what I switched to as well. The original rollers, even all the remixed variants to be extra wide, do not work and are a pain to use even if they did work.

The virtue is to not let a woman teach or have authority over a man. It is New Testament. There is no mis translation.

Christianity continued this tradition by obviating all those old laws l
This is New Testament!
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 1 day ago:
Isn’t that cherrypicking? If you discount what Paul says to Timothy as being applicable only to his church then you have to discount the rest:
" For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, "
“Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.”
There is nothing in the text to suggest that Paul was instructing only Timothy about a special case for his church. Paul said " I do not permit." He didn’t say, “You shouldn’t permit.”

What advantage does this have over the gunplamark’s Ultimate Cereal Drybox with the precise roller remix option?
I’ve printed many of the Ultimates because it has a top cover that lets the boxes stack or hang on whatever wall mount you have. So I have some standing in shelves and others hanging on my Multi board.

This is 100% ironic bait.
But to answer the question, you shouldn’t use headphones because they are dependent on your phone. You use this because it runs on its own D Cells and doesn’t need cell service.
Keeping good music to yourself is rude.

Bitcoin trashed the GPU market before moving on to Asics. Then other coins kept going on GPUs.

Like there won’t be some other hype to immediately take it’s place. Just like Bitcoin GPU prices never collapsed because it went right into AI hype.

It is in the long term given that known uranium reserves are only good for a few hundred years of global energy requirements. Thorium is far more plentiful.

I don’t use either but they aren’t the same thing to suggest one is a substitute for the other. Omv has self hosting services that it installs for you. Dokploy is docker manager.
- Comment on What does Oracle actually do? | Good Work [11:47] 1 week ago:
Techs like to deride sales and managers for incompetence. But Oracle is proof that salesmanship and suits can take garbage and make billions.
I remember the around 1990 when Oracle handled their tech problems by making it illegal to review their product. ( You had to purchase their product to use it or be sued. And the purchase agreement required that you not publish a review of the product without their approval.)

What do you mean by Machiavellian? Your question would be like asking, are there any smartphone keyboards that aren’t Machiavellian. It’s a text prediction tool.

Those of us elderly folks who lived through the 80s and 90s laugh at thisr AI shill propaganda.
Dude. I’m not only old but I worked for Vint Cerf and later was president of one of the companies mass mailing CD’s to everyone. I ran so many commercials on TV that I had a customer call up and say, “please stop!” Sports stadiums were named after ISPs. Road names were changed to names of ISPs. It was a massive advertising push because people were buying. The only thing that has outstripped Internet adoption rates is AI adoption rates which is why there’s an even bigger advertising push.
I have tried AI but don’t generally use it. I don’t use Facebook either. But I’m not going to pretend people don’t use Facebook because I don’t like it and don’t use it.

It really does improve productivity. The problem is thinking a spell checker on steroids will do your job (the mistake both employees and employers make).

A very large amount of people are excited by AI. People were excited by pet rocks.
I use DuckDuckGo to find sources, not answers.
DuckDuck is Bing with privacy. When you get a Google AI summary it lists links to read the source.

I referenced training above. Training cost is less than developer costs. Thousands of artists on high end PCs in office space use more energy than a data center. But no one notices because people are spread out across offices.

I didn’t realize Fortnite was played mainly on other platforms!
Fortnite’s player base is only about 10% PC,
PlayStation 42.2% Xbox 28.8% Nintendo Switch 12% PC 11% Mobile (iOS, Android) 6%
millionmilestech.com/fortnite-user/#%3A~%3Atext=c….
PS5, Xbox are both 200+ watts.
So assuming Mobile and Nintendo Switch power use is 0, and all PCs only use 200 watts, that’s still 8,000,000,000 watts. For 1 game.

it wouldn’t be pushed on us
The Internet was pushed on everyone. AOL and all other ISPs would mail CDs to everyone completely unsolicited. You’d buy a new PC and there would be a link to AOL on the desktop.
how can it be trusted without human verification
You use Google despite no human verification. Yahoo used to function based on human curated lists.
environmental impact
I did the math and posted it on Lemmy. The environmental footprint of AI is big but actually less than the cost to develop a new 3d game ( of which hundreds come out every year). Using AI is the same energy as playing a 3d game.
I see people pointing fingers at data centers the same as car riders looking at the large diesel smoke coming out of a bus and assuming buses are a big pollution source.
It is a problem because it’s like now everyone is playing 3d games all the time instead of only on their off time.
