Tismanian Devil 🇺🇬

@autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn He has defined his terms and argued against the concept If you think it’s still a good phrase to keep around in 2026, that’s fine, but that’s a different argument

@TismDevil @Eric_Conn No. And that’s not what servant leadership is. So Eric is attacking a strawman

Under the Servant Leader™ model, the husband "leads" only in the sense that he takes the initiative to serve the desires of his wife.

@404bih @autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn What do you think that phrase means? And what do you think Eric thinks the phrase means?

@TismDevil @autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn Was Jesus a Servant Leader to His bride?

@404bih @autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn Eric is indirectly saying that Jesus only served by fulfilling the church’s wishes? You’re gonna have to flesh that one out for me a little.

@TismDevil @autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn No, Conn is saying that the Servant Leader ONLY leads in the initiative to fulfill wishes. He isn't attacking the incorrect way of being a Servant Leader, he's attacking the model itself. That's dumb and gay, because Eric is indirectly claiming Jesus only served that way.

@autocorrect2_0 @Eric_Conn do you think Jesus leads the church "only in the sense that he takes the initiative to serve the desires of his wife"? because that's what Eric said

Matthew 20:25 25 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 26 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

@GiffLasta to play is to accept the girls' frame the boys team would never have "challenged" the girls team to a game. because who cares? now the boys are being tricked into thinking it matters just because a girl challenged them. but it doesn't

Her son had girls challenge his team to a girls vs guys softball game. She thinks it's a no-win scenario. Is she right?

I would say the vast majority of Christians who insist racism is inherently wrong refuse to study racist theology. And not just randos on the internet, pastors and teachers who claim to be Bible experts. Their certainty is based on zero research.

@Ducttapediva @MJTruthUltra "excuse me fellas, I had to pop in and ask if you were panning on stopping at stealing from my garage or if you were planning on also coming to the house to steal, rob, rape or anything. I need to know ahead of time so I can not break any rules while you guys are here. Thanks."

@MJTruthUltra You can use deadly force when your life is at risk not when your power tools are at risk ... His life was not in jeopardy so if he killed one of them it's straight out murder ...

@Billy280207902 @Clip_Master__ I can tell you are very tough and brave so I don’t want to mess with you. Please accept this peace offering

@TismDevil @Clip_Master__ She'd beat your bitch ass and you know it.

That's all fat. She has the real muscles.

@Billy280207902 @Clip_Master__ Women are the females of the species. They are, by design, much weaker and smaller than the males. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

@TismDevil @Clip_Master__ And?

@Billy280207902 @Clip_Master__ She’s a woman. I don’t make the rules.

@TismDevil @Clip_Master__ Shes still stronger than you.

@CasualAdvnturer @LaNativePatriot

@LaNativePatriot That move is illegal. It is against the law to pass traffic on the shoulder. I understand the frustration, but the law is the law.

Risky move, but also…. Kinda badass MOVE OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!!!

@DrChrisCombs all these complex equations. I just guessed. "would this work if dog is 100? nope. what about 50? hey that works" I'm a genius

Evan you might want to ask for a refund

@not_rekt_11 I think the most unfortunate part is that he doesn’t understand how embarrassing this is. I pity him

All it takes is one, to completely destroy something so beautiful

@farmingandJesus @Honkyhasbara @AshleySheatz big difference between someone being made into a spectacle by a gruesome death vs making yourself into a spectacle by airing dirty laundry to the internet

@Honkyhasbara @AshleySheatz The crucifixion of Christ was a spectacle.

In his book Deep Work, Cal Newport talks about the concept of an “any benefit” mentality. What is that? Newport explains the underlying presupposition: “You’re justified in using a network tool if you can identify any possible benefit to its use, or anything you might possibly miss out on if you don’t use it.” I see this mentality everywhere. Let me give you my favorite example: the news. I think the news is mostly a waste of time. Why? Postman captures my thinking, “[M]ost of our daily news is inert, consisting of information that gives us something to talk about but cannot lead to any meaningful action.” A news alert flashes across the screen: “Huge Earthquake in China.” So what? What does that have to do with me? I live in Ohio. I don’t have any direct connections to China. I’m not a global aid worker. This information is irrelevant to my life. Now, this is the point where a Christian will argue, “But but now you know how to pray for them.” Okay, I suppose that is a slight benefit. But let’s consider that in the light of opportunity cost. Opportunity cost is an economic principle which can be applied to any investment. It describes the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen. Here we are talking about how you spend or invest your time. You chose to spend an hour or, perhaps even, hours on news for the gain of seconds or minutes of prayer for folks in China. That’s the cited benefit. But what better opportunities did you lose out on? Where else could have you spent that time to get better benefits? The question isn’t if there is “any benefit.” You can cite a small benefit from most activities. The question is what is the good, the better, and the best use of your time. That takes discernment. Newport recommends you take what he calls the craftsman approach: “Identify the core factors that determine success and happiness in your professional and personal life. Adopt a tool only if its positive impacts on these factors substantially outweigh its negative impact.” This has become my guiding principle. I only add “faithfulness to God” ahead of success and happiness. As my responsibilities have increased, I’ve gotten brutal in my application of this principle. If the benefit from an activity/investment doesn’t offset the opportunity cost, I kill it. At least, that is what I'm pushing for. Time and attention are our most precious resources. Choosing where to invest them is the key to a productive and, often, a happy life. Commenting on Ephesians 5:16, Matthew Henry writes: "It is a great part of Christian wisdom to redeem the time. Good Christians must be good husbands of their time, and take care to improve it to the best of purposes, by watching against temptations, by doing good while it is in the power of their hands, and by filling it up with proper employment, one special preservative from sin. They should make the best use they can of the present seasons of grace. Our time is a talent given us by God for some good end, and it is misspent and lost when it is not employed according to his design. If we have lost our time heretofore, we must endeavour to redeem it by doubling our diligence in doing our duty for the future." This is our task. Let's get to it!

@jillianjane @notaproviderMD @franc_neb @GrantSlatton Covid was fun though

@notaproviderMD @franc_neb @GrantSlatton No, doctors aren’t, that’s why I used it as the hypothetical. We would all be in an uproar if doctors were doing it, as we should be when dentists are doing it.

insane that we tolerate living in a society where you can go see one dentist and he's like "ya u have 13 cavities, will be $4000 to fix them all" then see another and he's like "that guy was full of shit and trying to scam you, you're fine" ???

@agentnumber77 @KnowMySongWell @GrantSlatton Jg is right. All dentists are inherently virtuous people and there are no systemic problems whatsoever in the industry. We should all stop complaining

@KnowMySongWell @GrantSlatton We also live in a society where people can file complaints with the dental board/write reviews on google.
