@TMGUSA92 @realspeckzo Depending on your translation, you're also going to find Azazel in Leviticus 16.
English
@realspeckzo So Azazel appears in the Talmud and the book of Enoch.
Interesting.
English
The Talmud basically says “yeah nothing supernatural in our religion worked anymore after Jesus died for some reason” and then Jews still deny Christ’s divinity.

@theblessedsalt Notably, very few people indeed were killed to produce The Passion of the Christ

I saw The Passion in theaters in Lent 2004. I was a Catholic seminarian. A local Baptist pastor offered his bus to drive a group of us to see it. It had only been out a few days. It’s an amazing film and the take below — specifically in regard to its violence — is frankly just really weird to me. Of course it’s violent. It’s probably much less violent than the reality.

I saw this movie wildly late in life for someone raised evangelical (my parents were NOT happy at the fact that youth group kids were watching it). So I saw it in my late 20s for a class with @IanNelsonMills and my husband. It remains one of the strangest film experiences of my

@aknox92 @SandyofCthulhu everyone loves the idea of "cool bargain for power" gameplay but implementation always gives them lots of bargain in exchange for level-appropriate power
English
@SandyofCthulhu that's a really raw deal when wizards can do stuff and it just makes them eepy
English
My weird suggestion:
Warlocks shouldn't have spell slots. Instead, they should bargain with their patron for each and every spell. When that spell is cast, it's gone forever until they can "reload" it from their patron.
Example:
Warlock "I want the Finger of Death!"
Dark Mistress "You must cut off one finger joint and give it to me."
Next time he wants Finger of Death, it's another finger joint unless he can talk Dark Mistress into something different.
Weaker spells would require weaker sacrifices.

@FaucciMane Does hitting a cow with a stick consign them to a life in super India for the next cycle?

@luinalaska A large portion of the populace goes about their lives with the presumption that everyone else is obligated to care more for their continued existence than they themselves are.
Protest techniques?
Being ornery with the police?
Jaywalking in traffic?
Consequences are for normies

Now that my X account has been banned in India by the Indian government, I am finally ready to release our Texas Indian-Invasion documentary. Thank you @PMOIndia . I no longer have to worry about infinite Indians mass-reporting my account. I win.

@Chiquis_japon this post was created in a subway car

En Japón hay algo que casi nadie te dice:
el silencio no siempre es paz…
a veces es presión.
En el tren, en un café, en una sala de espera…
si haces un poco de ruido, sientes que ya rompiste algo invisible.
Desde fuera parece educación.
Desde dentro, a veces se siente como tensión.
En México hay ruido, sí.
pero también hay más permiso para existir.
¿ustedes qué prefieren?
¿ruido… o presión silenciosa?

Hot take: They "spent" $81,705 per homeless person on the segment of the NGO industrial complex that pretends to work on homelessness. The money is mostly a sinecure to over-educated leftists for being part of the ruling coalition.
Tuki@TukiFromKL
🚨 do you understand what New York City just accidentally admitted.. NYC spent $81,705 per homeless person last year.. the median American household earned $81,228.. the government spent MORE to keep someone homeless than most families earned to keep themselves housed.. that $81,705 isn't going to the homeless person.. it's going to the system around them.. shelters, administrators, case managers, contracts, overhead.. the industry that manages homelessness.. not the end of it.. if NYC gave every homeless person that money directly.. they could afford nearly 2 years of rent.. most of them wouldn't be homeless anymore.. instead the money goes to the system.. the system keeps running.. the homelessness stays.. and every year they ask for more funding to manage the problem that the funding was supposed to solve.. the homeless are worth $81,705 a year to the system.. they're worth nothing to it solved..

not just a gun
there are many that believe a man is not properly dressed to leave the house without some basic tools it is only responsible to carry
A gun is among them, but a small medical kit is also becoming highly stressed. "If you can make a hole, you should be able to patch a hole"
basic tools as well, which is why leatherman's have become so popular, but in the old day it would have just been a pocket knife
A pen a pad of paper is also generally considered to be essential, and some way to make fire, and some way to make light
The thought is you never know when you may be called on to defend others, or yourself, and you must be prepared to do so at all times...
This is particularly strong in veteran circles. Many of the items are items we were required to carry while on duty, and it becomes ingrained

When I buy a home, I’m legitimately buying a $31k airport level X-ray machine to scan every item coming into my residence.

@travis4nh watching libertarians realize that not everyone is capable of governance is extremely funny

question 1: " is it libertarian to collude with Nigerian and Russian scammers to defraud elderly American widows, and take a 10% cut off the top for facilitating the crimes?"
Mrs. ₿onnie Freeman@FTL_Bonnie
Me and a former NH free stater state rep were talking and we have both independently come to the conclusion that NH needs some sort of formal class new free staters can take and then they get a certificate proving they understand the basics of libertarianism. There are people here in the movement who have been here for a while and don’t actually get the economic stuff, for example. We could have a panel, not one God Queen of Libertarianism, and if you have the certificate it’s respected by those who respect the class. Pretty simple. He told me about the US Parachute Association. It’s a non-profit and organization that sets safety standards. Basically all of not all drop zones show they are USPA compliant and only accept USPA members. It’s like a self-regulating industry. The USPA even insures jumpers. Nothing but natural incentives to become a USPA member and it’s voluntary. I thought that was beautiful.

@GrumpyMontanan @plzbepatient That is a pretty compelling argument in favor of air travel, if you don't get peaced to death in the process (and the astronauts are willing to show up and man the grope line)

@plzbepatient Also, I don’t want to get pushed in front of one of them by a future astronaut.

I don’t think anyone hates rail as a standalone concept. If you could plunk down a HSR network across the US by magic people would be happy. The issue is we have been burned by “the process” too many times to believe that any project will not turn into a fraud-laden boondoggle

Your annual reminder that, in the Good Friday petitions, we first pray for the pope and then the faithful and then the non-Catholic Christians and then the Jews and the non-Christians, and then even the atheists. And THEN we pray for the politicians.

Taking medication when you need it is not a failure. It’s called getting appropriate medical care. The same people telling you to “avoid meds” will happily sell you overpriced supplements with no regulation, no outcomes data, and no consequences. Be serious.

@KyppyDoodle @ZacMabry @charlescwcooke well sure but the Catholics are talking about it the way they are because they traditionally do some very specific things on Good Friday that others don't do
English
@ZacMabry @charlescwcooke Protestants aren’t on the hook for anything. No one would be asking denominational affiliation at the door. Anyone who wanted to come to this service would be welcome.
English
We do something totally different on Good Friday that would be extremely impractical to do outside one of our parishes so I’m officially letting the Protestants off the hook on this one.

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…

The framers actually did warn against foreigners being born here, being granted citizenship, and voting in their own interests. And they warned of that well before mass migration by plane could even be conceptualized
Gregg Nunziata@greggnunziata
"The framers of the 14th amendment could never have anticipated birth tourism and mass illegal immigration" is the Right's version of "the framers of the 2nd Amendment could never have anticipated assault rifles and high capacity magazines."
