- Comment on After 4 years my banana tree decided it was time to fruit! 5 hours ago:
So,uh, what does it mean if you have a banana plant that has given bananas multiple times and not died?..
Because growing up, we had one that gave bananas at least 5 or 6 times before it stopped for a couple years before giving one last bunch, but the plant didn’t die and just stayed there for years more after that, giving new leaves every now and then which we used for tamales.
The bananas it gave were very fat but still decently long, if that helps. It “died” many years later when a strong hurricane caused a woody tree limb near it to break and rip it in half. But from the trunk it started sprouting a new one, except then ants made an anthill in it and I think they finally killed it.

Even Flaz_vert understand that’s not the best approach.

Ok, but admonishment of OP is also a sin, as Jesus himself saved Mary Magdalene from being stoned to death.
The lesson being that humans are not perfect, and will inherently sin. Even in your passage (which, is that from the NIV Bible? I have issues with that translation) it was specifically about addressing the type of prostitution in Corinth, which was more akin to rape and forced marriage (and based on historical artifacts, perhaps even pedophilia) than modern prostitution which is an exchange of money and no relationship (and before any mentions of payments is mentioned, no, a post rape “dowry” is not the same). Hence the reference to the quote on marriage about “The two will become one flesh”.
The issue isn’t the act of sin itself, but pretending it is not sin, that you are better than sin; not acknowledging the sin. OP does try to control it, and doesn’t engage in wanton unrestrained lust - thus they have already repented. Of they still feel guilty after, and assuming it’s not caused by peer pressure, that is their burden to carry, because it means they are using lust to fill some other damage their soul carries.
But your admonishment of their action, however, is judgement. And you must remember that you’ll be judged as well.
Of course, I lean towards what could be said is the traditional Jesuit ideology, so I only take mostly into importance what is ascribed to be the direct word of Jesus rather than what was mostly said by disciples of his such as Paul, let alone co-authors such as Sosthenes who is also involved with Corinthians.

Just fyi, those are just called tacos. They’re the default.
- Comment on Common sugar substitute shown to impair brain cells, boost stroke risk 1 day ago:
I mean, this was brain cells directly exposed to it in concentrations far higher than would occur in a human body after metabolism with no secondary carbohydrates that would likely come with eating said food (units you like eating spoonfuls of pure Splenda I suppose).
I think brain cells wouldn’t do well exposed directly to many things, like too much oxygen, either.
So I’d say this study should be taken with a grain of

That’s… Definitely not the requirements for Texas at least, or weren’t when I left the country years ago. Especially not the college degree part. I think only detectives needed one.

It’d be a shame if you got hired to be armed security and your friends who would treat ICE obviously nicely based off your tone tho just happened to know exactly where and who you’re doing security for, and you might just happen to “fall asleep” or something during a certain time you might say outloud totally not as a signal when said friends would politely be sneaking in where you would be “guarding” to give the nice person a handshake.
Just a thought.
On an unrelated note, have you ever heard of this book?

I was thinking this more of a way of destroying / disabling / slowing down the whole thing from within.
Not so much about fucking the goats as pretending you are and then letting the goats get away by “accident”.
You’d probably get fired kinda quick, but still help out people while gunking up the operation.
Maybe even working with people on the outside too of course

I can’t straight up say what I’m saying, because rules, allegedly.
I meant together a bunch of people could get rid of Musk, in Minecraft. Ban him from the world server permanently. You know, from mass reporting

Look, it’s simple. Fighting climate change is like taxes.
You don’t have to give up 100% of your money to have roads and fire trucks.
You alone won’t make much a difference. But multiply it by many people, and it’s easy to get rid of Musk.
Oh, and I guess eat less burgers too I guess

Number one, they can’t consent to being born, If given the choice, I would not consent to being born right now, why should I force that on someone else.
All your points are solid except this one. This one just gives the pro-birthers ammunition to use and strengthen a belief. Something which does not exist nor has any consciousness isn’t capable of the concept of consent. Consent is a social construct created by humans (which unfortunately not everyone believes in), but a fetus isn’t yet human (in your example, it’s not even a fetus but the concept of a human, which is even further abstract. This is like complaining a painting did not consent to existing).
It also is a rationally failed thought in that such a hypothetical still non existent being also can’t communicate a desire to exist. It can’t communicate anything, actually.
Projecting your own depression into it doesn’t help anyone, including yourself.

I mean, do they get bigger? Has this been studied? Women’s research is usually lacking compared to men’s.
- Comment on Hypothesis: Modern retro-inspired indies are much more enjoyable than the retro games themselves 3 weeks ago:
I think Ultima 4 is over rated. FF6, Secret of Mana, Chrono trigger, and even Earthbound I’d say are better (Earthbound was way ahead of it’s time by having weak enemies run away from you in the overworld too).
- Comment on Hypothesis: Modern retro-inspired indies are much more enjoyable than the retro games themselves 3 weeks ago:
I’d say both DKC2 and Super Mario World easily best Mario Bros 3.
But not that you mention it, there is a lack of indie platformers that are good.

Totally agree. Just have someone let me know when you’ve done it. Maybe we could set up a chain or something. You start, have someone that knows notify me, and then I notify the next person.
Now go on and start the change you want to see 🌠
