@But0why0Bitcoin @SeedOilDsrspctr How so

@bickdaddy @SeedOilDsrspctr You are absolutely wrong. If you’ve done any research, you would know you’re wrong.

I’m at the point where I don’t believe any of these studies where people “didn’t eat seed oils”. So, they went to zero restaurants? Ate basically no food from packages? Never had salad dressing or used sauces? The only people NOT eating seed oils are those who are VERY specifically altering their lives in drastic ways, and people with crippling OCD and they only eat boiled cabbage or something. (Rare)

@Assbear100 @SeedOilDsrspctr Exactly. Small switch trials are useless when they're consuming a ton of seed oil outside of the study recipes. And you'd never be able to get a large study population to go zero

@bickdaddy @SeedOilDsrspctr Most of the studies (at least those comparing to saturated fat) doesn't look at completely zero intake, but rather a reduction/increase compared to saturated fat and then observe health effects. Some RCTs do swap in a 1:1 ratio through recipes

@farmboyphoto @SeedOilDsrspctr So do I. Thats not my argument. You'd never be able to reliably get a large study population to go zero

@bickdaddy @SeedOilDsrspctr Oh, baloney. I eat zero seed oils. Rigorous carnivore diet: ground beef/red meat, eggs, hard cheese, grass fed butter, some wild fish. Zero seed oils. It’s actually really easy to avoid seed oils. We never eat trashy restaurant food.

@CloudMagnus_ @SeedOilDsrspctr True 😂 see you always lose

@bickdaddy @SeedOilDsrspctr The prison food would be laced with it.

@Sscben @SeedOilDsrspctr I'm talking about the general population in these studies. You could never control it. Didn't mean it's impossible. I'm zero SO

@bickdaddy @SeedOilDsrspctr It’s not hard to eat zero. Just control what you eat. Carnivores eat absolutely zero seed oils.

I genuinely don't get the level of hostility/neutrality toward the competent, actually right-wing DeSantis.

You don’t see dalmations too much these days. They were everywhere in media. It was pretty common to see them at dog parks/being walked. Now I haven’t seen one in probably a decade. Where the hell did they all go

@RepThomasMassie You're so insufferable lately

Your tax dollars are paying for the USDA to parody a porn site. They should delete the tweet and the URL.

@FBallAnalysisYT Bowflex makes some that aren't such a big dumb square

Can someone explain what George is lifting here? This app is toxic as hell at times so to be clear I’m looking to learn what these are and genuinely want to know more about the benefits / advantages with these rather than regular dumbbells

@MayorOfLA Wow, congratulations. This is historic! Not many American cities have street lights

We’re making history and paving a path toward a brighter Los Angeles by installing 60,000 street lights citywide.

@TrevorSheatz Really milking this

This will be my final post regarding my below viral post. I want to address some frequent criticisms: 1. “Saying your wife is purer than most virgins is crazy.” 2. “I hate how you highlight your wife’s sins, but you’re just this perfect guy.” 3. “You’re teaching people they can just sin as much as they want, come to Jesus, and then all is well. That’s evil.” 4. “This is all a grift, a marketing stunt. He owns a Christian social media agency.” 1. “Saying your wife is purer than most virgins is crazy.” To be clear: I was not saying my wife’s life is more sexually pure overall than most virgins. This isn’t true, even if she’s very sexually pure today. The point I was trying to make is that biblical purity encompasses far more than the sexual realm. Sexual purity matters and virginity is a blessing indeed, but God primarily wants a pure heart: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matt 5:8). And a godly, repentant, born-again woman with a promiscuous past has a far purer heart in the eyes of the Lord than an unsaved virgin. This is why I wrote, and still stand by, this beautiful truth: “She's more pure than most virgins.” Also, in Proverbs 31, the godly woman’s husband praises her by saying she’s literally better than all other women (Prov. 31:29), so me saying this of my wife is in line with what the Bible says happens to a godly woman. It’s a biblical form of praise for a most wonderful wife. 2. “I hate how you highlight your wife’s sins, but you’re just this perfect guy.” Fair enough. I could’ve spoken more about my own sins. I battled porn for years as a single man, and as a married man I still struggle with lust, pride, anger, selfishness, poor leadership, lack of love, and more. I am so far from perfect, growing slowly and steadily in holiness over time. But I praise God for this marvelous truth: “This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” ​— ​and I am the worst of them” (1 Tim. 1:15). 3. “You’re teaching people they can just sin as much as they want, come to Jesus, and then all will be fine. That’s evil.” If this is what I’m teaching people, then I couldn’t agree more: it is evil. “Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh” (Gal. 6:7-8). Sin has real consequences that affect people in different ways. Some may be promiscuous and suffer heartbreak, a seared conscience, and a dullness to the things of God as they’re drawn more into the world. Another may get a serious sexually transmitted infection and die from it. Another still may never be able to have children from their decisions. Playing with sin is foolish, brings destruction, and grieves the heart of God. And the Bible says that even if you’re a virgin or haven’t committed “big” sins, telling a lie, stealing anything, being greedy, drunk, or even looking with lust means you won’t go to Heaven (1 Cor. 6:9-10). We’re not promised another day. If you think you can just come to Jesus when you want or just pray a prayer and be good to go, you’ve been deceived. Repent and place your trust in the risen Christ today, who died on the cross to take the punishment of all those who trust in him, lest you end up in Hell. “Now is the day of salvation!” (2 Cor. 6:2). And if you’re truly saved, your life will change, too, because the Holy Spirit lives in you: “He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession, eager to do good works” (Titus 2:14). Only once you’re genuinely born again will you find forgiveness of your sins and be washed white as snow (Col. 2:13-14; Is. 1:18). 4. “This is all a grift (a dishonest way to gain money), a marketing stunt. He owns a Christian social media agency.” A valid concern. Even the Apostle Paul had to defend himself against this accusation, as he acknowledges the terrible reality that this does indeed happen: “For we do not market the word of God for profit like so many. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God” (2 Cor. 2:17). Someone who markets the word of God just to make money will be judged accordingly. I tremble at the thought. This isn’t to say that preachers of the gospel are forbidden to earn money for their doing so: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should earn their living by the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:14). Rather, it’s a warning of motives. Honestly, there’s no way I can prove to you that I have had absolutely no intention to profit financially from this, even though it’s true. But please consider these facts: 1. I’ve been proclaiming Christ on social media, including X, since 2017. My chief desire in life is to reach more souls with the gospel and biblical truth on social media. That’s the only reason I started my agency to begin with, as it’s the calling the Lord has given me. We’ve provided thousands of dollars worth of consulting for free to ministries who can’t afford it and are gradually giving away all our secrets for free on our company’s YouTube channel because we just want God’s Word to reach more people, even if ministries don’t have the finances for our services. 2. I’ve never once sold any book, course, product, paid subscription, or anything else. I’ve never once done a paid promotion in my near decade of sharing biblical truth on social media, even though I’m contacted constantly for these and could’ve made thousands by now. I’ve never wanted to give anyone the impression that I’m preaching Christ for money, because I'm not. 3. Read my X posts before this viral post. Seriously. Notice how day in and day out, I post simple content about biblical truths, not personal stories. The amount of times I’ve written about Ashley’s story, out of my thousands of posts, is in the single digits. 4. Show me any post or comment where I’ve used this situation to promote anything for financial gain, or even to request people to follow me. I didn’t want to do any of this so that all the focus can be on Jesus, not me or my wife. It’s all about him. There are plenty of other criticisms we’ve received. I cannot address them all, nor do I think it’s helpful, so I don’t plan on addressing any more. I just saw these ones pop up more than most others. And I know this won’t persuade everyone. Regardless of how this is received, I am immensely grateful to God that he used our story of redemption to start a cultural storm and to bring this important topic to light. It reminds me of how God used Paul’s story in Acts 26, where he spoke paragraphs of details about his sinful lifestyle before Christ, and how Jesus then completely transformed him. Ashley and I have been wonderfully blessed seeing so many Christians testify to the power of Jesus, encourage us via comments and posts, and use this situation to preach the gospel. I will continue preaching Christ, promoting sound theology to edify the saints, focusing on the glorious gospel, and at times and when fitting, sharing personal stories of God’s redemption to show that these truths aren’t just head knowledge, it’s real. Jesus truly changes lives and saves souls from Hell, and we are living, breathing testimonies of this beautiful reality, and no one and no thing can stop us from testifying of our glorious Redeemer, Jesus Christ! “They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” (Rev. 12:11) “What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice.” (Phil. 1:18)

@MadsPosting You get chat banned for being mean now

a call of duty modern warfare 2 lobby

@ichbinilya I suppose I see your point, but this is a terrible example lol the allies killed way more German civilians via terror bombing than Germany did in UK

In his campaign to subdue Great Britain, Hitler ordered the Luftwaffe to shift from attacking the RAF to bombing population centers. Hence the London Blitz — explicitly a campaign of terror. The Allies also struck German cities, of course, but throughout they war they increasingly shifted their bombing campaign to Germany’s industrial production and elements of their supply chain. We know which strategy worked better. And it strikes me that the Russian and Ukrainian bombing campaigns against each other are like an echo of that war: Ukraine is methodically striking Russian oil facilities and war factories; Russia’s Shahed drones are largely directed at Ukrainian cities. Maybe the cruelty will again prove its own undoing.

@TrevorSheatz This has to be engagement bait

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)
