Indeed, the true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries, nor innovators: they are traditionalists.

@amaldorai @DanFriedman81 What I wouldn't say is that "gaya palmer" is a meaningful contributor to "the arts scene in new york." That's exactly why she makes 36k (including social security). Better artists could move in if freeloaders would move out

@kantcath @DanFriedman81 Would you say that the arts scene in New York is one of the reasons that hedge fund / private equity / etc. employees like to live in New York City over Westchester / Greenwich / etc.?

People were outraged at the $500k couple, but the underappreciated aspect of the story is that the woman making $36k lives in the same neighborhood and leads a similar lifestyle, minus saving $10k per month, because she is a beneficiary of various subsidies, including a rent stabilized apartment.
New York is unaffordable for some people, because the state and city are bleeding those people to give free stuff to other people, for whom New York is free.

@Belover @DeanAbbott That's literally another example of this phenomenon...
English
@DeanAbbott What the what? Evangelicals very commonly declare their virginity publicly and proudly. I can think of similar statements by Billy Graham, Elisabeth Elliot, Amy Grant, and others.
English
Most people think evangelicalism is conservative but, in fact, large swathes of it are radically anti-traditionalist and, in their way, liberal.
Many evangelicals see traditional social virtues like modesty, propriety and prudence as hindrances to the practice and proclamation of the gospel and therefore congratulate themselves on violating these norms if, in their minds, doing so "brings glory to God".
That's exactly what's happening here. A man and his wife throw sensitive personal information into the social media gutter without thinking for a moment about dignity or social appropriateness and then, when people object, claim that people who value the social virtues they've discarded care less about God.

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)
English
@TrevorSheatz I would argue that discretion is the #1 factor in deciding who you'll marry and therefore share all the details of your heart with. And it's something you totally and utterly lack
English
Virginity should not be the #1 factor Christians look for when considering who to marry. Godliness and being attracted to them is.
Virginity matters, and it's a blessing from God. It's not wrong to desire someone who is a virgin. And past sexual sin regularly carries present-day consequences.
But I fear we've placed virginity on such a high pedestal that it's become an idol for many.
The Bible doesn't say that someone "is free to be married to anyone [they want] — only if they're a virgin." It says that someone "is free to be married to anyone [they want] — only in the Lord (aka, only if they're a Christian)" (1 Cor. 7:39).
In other words, what matters above all else is that your spouse is a believer, virgin or not.
Again, while desiring to marry a virgin isn't a bad thing, it becomes a bad thing if it causes you to miss out on marrying the person who truly matters: the man or woman who's born-again, passionate about Jesus, excellent in the God-given characteristics of a godly wife or husband, and physically attractive to you.
And a mature Christian should desire those things in a potential spouse above all else, regardless of the past sins the person may have gone through (though they should certainly weigh out that aspect as well in this decision, since it does matter).

@Rubberneckking @PedanticKilljoy @Empty_America Everywhere in america is cleaner than it was back then. Cultural shift against littering + more money spent on sanitation
English
@PedanticKilljoy @Empty_America Probably because there are actually less people in Manhattan than now. Many, many apartments and row homes have been demolished for office space. It was bad in the 1940s, but 1900s up until the 10s would have been hellish if you lived in lower.

Also notice the trash and litter laying everywhere.

You recently wrote "We soon will celebrate Nowruz in a free, prosperous and peaceful Iran."
Frankly, I hope you are never allowed to enter Iran. Your positions are anti-Iranian, from failing to distinguish the Islamic Republic from Iran, to supporting separatists, to salivating over civilian targets. You are no friend of Iran, even if you pretend to be. @SGhasseminejad

Among Iran’s major power plants,
Bandar Abbas: tied to ports, naval logistics, petrochemicals, IRGC-linked industrial activity.
Isfahan: defense, missile, nukes.
Asaluyeh: IRGC-connected gas exports/petrochemicals
Others hit ordinary civilians first, not regime power.

You will live on the AI slop farm. You’ll have 10,000 acres and your front door will lead directly to a small 8x8 foot swamp. Three horses will drink from the water, with decapitated jockeys on their backs. One of your horses will be the longest horse in the world. Your fences will kind of veer off into the grass from time to time. There’s three shutters on some of your windows and a shutter to the left of your front door. You have no driveway and you own no Gucci bags. You are happy.

Ultraprocessed food isn't a coherent scientific concept and the attempts to formalize it have been a joke, as with the scale used in this study.
Slice a potato and bake it: Unprocessed (Group 1)
Slice a potato and fry it: "Ultraprocessed" (Group 4)
Nuts: Unprocessed
Nuts, salted: "Processed" (Group 3)
Homogenized, pasteurized milk: Unprocessed
Milk churned with sugar into ice cream: "Processed"
This is a search for a scientific-sounding language to describe why one set of foods is nutritionally suspect, but in moralizing terms of how it was created by an industrial system, rather than characterizing food impacts directly by nutritional content or satiety. They can't just call the system "added sugar" because that's too obvious and not morally satisfying.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
People who eat around nine servings a day of ultraprocessed foods like chips and doughnuts have about a 67% higher risk of heart attacks, strokes and dying from heart disease compared with those who eat about one serving a day, according to a new study. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3PgXHeg

@ScottMGreer The difference is mostly explained by the fact that when a protestant becomes an atheist, he marks on surveys that he's an atheist, whereas when a Catholic becomes an atheist he continues to mark on surveys that he's a catholic

That number is even lower than among mainline prots, which people confidently predict will soon die out.

@emzanotti The issue in my view is not the biblical idea of submission, but that guys like this rely on a totally synthetic idea of submission that’s rooted in mid-20th century cultural norms and current political ideologies, making them just as worldly as those they claim to fight against.
