@sola_chad Not the same, but a similar thing might be John the baptist being filled with the spirit in the womb.

There were zero babies baptized in the Bible.

@TheLaurenChen As usual the reason is it's racist, while the reasoning against it is the real racism.

It's generally illegal for employers to hire based on IQ tests because it was ruled they were discriminatory against certain minority groups I'm not even kidding That's literally the official reason

@davepl1968 Retirement doesn't mean no work, just freedom to do different work I guess. If you stop entirely you may as well be dead.

Dude, I retired like ten years ago. Since then, I've written and published two books, a metric crapton of software, learned 3D graphics and embedded systems, built a YouTube channel with a million subscribers, restored two cars, sent three kids off to college, learned to drive a race car, and now I'm a public speaker for fun. I don't have a garden. No chill needed.

@japan_nobunaga It's weird, it is getting worse and weirder. Used to be 10% was great. And it was just servers in restaurants, now it's everywhere and the electronic screen pushes it. It's really dumb now.

Nobody in Japan has ever tipped. Not once. Not ever. The price on the menu is the price. You pay it. You leave. The end. So in America, I finished my meal — happy, relaxed, full — and then the little screen spun around to face me. 18%? 20%? 25%? And the waiter just… watching. My heart rate doubles every single time. Were they good? I don't know! Is 18% an insult? Will they remember my face?! Is tipping secretly stressful for you too? Or have you all just made peace with it? 😂

bunu çözersen, IQ seviyen ortalamanın üstündedir. çözebilir misin?

@nicksortor @nypost You may as well blame them for not requiring coffee hot stickers everywhere, or don't jump into fire it's dangerous.

@nypost The single biggest (and one of the very few) fck-ups in the U.S. Constitution was allowing foreigners to hold elected office.

@nicksortor @nypost Or more like, they didn't forsee Americans voting foreigners into office. Because it's stupid.

@conservmillen I've spent 10 years in fast food. I never goto my old franchise on principle, and I accept I am toying with fate and exercising my immune system to eat out.

I feel like no one wears hairnets in restaurant kitchens anymore and I want to know why

@Timcast I am shocketh. 😐

OH SHIT SHE LIED??! THE WHOLE THING IS FALLING APART

@japan_nobunaga I think it's a terrible thing to say if you aren't interested personally, but it's often just a pleasantry, answer any which way briefly.

As a Japanese person, one thing that still messes with my head in America is how “How are you?” is basically just a greeting. Back home, if someone asks “genki desu ka?”, you’re expected to give a real answer. So when Americans say it to me, I always freeze for half a second thinking “Wait… how much of my life story do they actually want right now?” 😂 Do you guys genuinely not care, or is it just polite code?

@TheLaurenChen On one hand, understandable, on the other, what happens when the employees also won't follow the rules? It's ultimately a heart problem in culture...

Restaurants are increasingly deciding that EVERYONE at the same table must pay for any All You Can Eat option Remember how Red Lobster almost went bankrupt after diners would order AYCE shrimp and share with people who didn't pay? More of those "changing consumer habits" 🙄

@davepl1968 @cumwhale927 The UK also doesn't understand what it means to be hot or cold....

@cumwhale927 Americans would be the first to understand that revolutions are expensive, but worth it. I mean if that's what it takes to get AC in the UK...

🚨 Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget "The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars." "We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them." This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.

Just today I was taking online with someone who says they are deliberately using AI to make life choices about how to interact with people and who to involve in his personal life. That's messed up. AI is really fancy auto complete, and it's basically random Internet information. If anyone uses AI in such a way, they and everyone is in trouble.

@davepl1968 @navyhato I can't believe this. It's just not the same. If you lived like a monk, you wouldn't suddenly be able to afford a house like the past.

@navyhato Still achievable, unless you need two cars, four cell phones, three iPads, a microwave, a desktop PC, and all the toys you're forgetting they didn't have.

Previous generations could have this with ease. Why is this so much to ask?

@davepl1968 @MattWalshBlog Or something like a second skin you can drape onto your body to protect yourself from the environment...

@MattWalshBlog If only science could invent some kind of balm that was transparent to visible light, yet blocked the damaging UV. We could rub it into our skin at the beginning of the day and walk around without fear! One day, children. Have faith in science.

I would rather be dead than live my life like this

@geerlingguy Been on this train for years.

Greatest productivity hack of all time, never mind privacy

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

This might be a radical opinion, but… I’m getting really tired of people trying to shoot my President.

Scientists are baffled by this. The Bacterial Flagellum is composed of 20-30 unique parts. Combined, they total over 30,000 parts that make this little motor run. It can hit rotation speeds of up to 100,000 RPM, then stop & reverse direction in a quarter of a turn. It can propel a bacteria up to 20 lengths per second, which when scaled up is about equal to 225mph in a car. But this motor only works when all those parts are perfectly engineered and working together. Take away just one of those 30 pieces, and it stops functioning. That means it can't evolve gradually. None of the pieces do anything outside the system, and the system only works with all the pieces. Bacteria require this motor to move - without it, they would quickly die. How can anyone see something like and still deny that Life is Divinely Designed?
