@newstart_2024 Just curious, is it ok for your wife to disagree with you under Sharia Law, Tucker?
English

Tucker Carlson just gave the most brutally honest marriage advice I’ve ever heard:
Don’t say “Whatever you want, babe.”
When she asks orange or pink napkins? You confidently say “Pink.” She’ll correct you to orange — then you immediately declare “Orange is perfect” like it was your idea. Same with dinner. She doesn’t want you to hand over every decision. She wants you to lead… while she still feels heard.
Tucker’s line: “You’re repeating her choice back to her as a decision.”
Raw. Funny. And probably true.
A lot of modern relationship advice ignores how men and women actually communicate in real life. Getting this dynamic right can save years of unnecessary fights.
I laughed because I’ve seen this exact dance play out. Tucker has zero filter and it’s oddly refreshing.
Married or about-to-be-married people — how accurate is this in your experience?

I have fasted several times; some for health reasons and other times for spiritual reasons. However, I am never able to recognize any benefits such as "The cognitive clarity, elevated mood, and sharpened perception," or anything like that. For the first couple of days I simply have no energy and if I go longer than that I get a massive headache and become dizzy and nauseous.

Fasting and ketosis are the same mechanism.
When you fast, glycogen depletes, insulin falls, fat oxidation begins, ketones rise.
Fasting has been practised in every major human civilisation and religious tradition.
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, indigenous traditions on every continent: all arrived independently at the practice of periodic food restriction.
They were not prescribing a diet.
They were prescribing the metabolic state that food restriction produces.
The cognitive clarity, elevated mood, and sharpened perception reported universally in spiritual fasting literature are not mystical.
They are ketosis.
The brain running on a cleaner fuel.
Neuroinflammation receding.
GABA rising, glutamate falling.
BDNF climbing, neurons beginning repair.
Every tradition that asked its adherents to fast was prescribing, in the language available to them, the ancient healing mode the brain uses for maintenance.
They did not have the biochemistry.
They had centuries of careful observation.
The observation and the biochemistry are in complete agreement.
Your ancestors knew something.
They just didn't have a word for beta-hydroxybutyrate.

@NickJFreitas All Burger King needs to do is make a sign that says 10% discount for all ICE agents and they will have customers for life.

@TerriGreenUSA But they put emotional music in the background so it must be true.

Hi Stephanie. I understand the issues you are having and you are not alone. Dennis Prager's The Rational Bible may be helpful. Here is an excerpt on Deuteronomy 21:18-19 from Chapter 21 p. 329-330 "This law concerning the rebellious son seems primitive, but it was profoundly progressive in its time. It forbade parents from ever killing their children, as was the parental prerogative in much of the ancient world...the law removed the right to execute a child from parents...we do not know of a case of judicial execution of a child in Jewish history, the law effectively outlawed killing children three thousand years ago." He writes several more paragraphs concerning this particular passage. It is enlightening because it helps readers in 2025 understand why the Jewish culture from several thousand years ago was set apart from the rest of the worldly cultures. Keep in mind Dennis Prager practices Judaism but many Christians have praised his commentary on the Torah and found it to be helpful.

Genuine question for long time Christians.
I'm studying the Old Testament. First I read an NLT study bible, then review + reflect in an ESV journal. I've read through Leviticus so far.
So far, I've found at least 3 sins the God of the Old Testament would have had me killed for. Some when I was quite young. There's no age stipulation on punishment by death for disrespecting one's parents, for instance.
To put it mildly, I'm having difficulty squaring the wrath of OT God with the mercy of His son Jesus.
Frankly, I'm having a hard time liking this God. What to speak of loving or respecting Him.
I'm also having difficulty understanding how an omnipotent ruler who governed through fear and intimidation, along the lines of the consequences we see for violating his commands in the OT, could simultaneously be seen as granting humans free will.
I also have difficulty imagining how an intelligence brilliant enough to design our DNA and galaxy could be come across as so petty, ill-tempered, and insecure.
Finally, when I read the brutality of the OT and then in the next breath see commentary on how merciful, patient, forgiving, and faithful God is, the juxtaposition not only gives me whiplash — it makes me feel somewhat gaslit.
I know countless others have expressed similar sentiments. For what it's worth, mine is in earnest. I'm not an atheist trying to trap you. I am a new follower of Jesus Christ, wanting my faith to be authentic, sincere, grounded, thoughtful, and intellectually robust.
I've asked several people for their thoughts on this. Not just online — the people next to me in church; the Christians across the aisle from me on the plane. I haven't heard a satisfactory, intuitive, or even intellectually coherent answer yet.
I know these are all just people. None have perfect knowledge.
But if you can point me in the direction of some truly enlightening commentary, I'd appreciate it. I've read some fantastic books in the apologetic genre, and listened to great podcasts, just none that have broached this subject yet.
***This is NOT an invitation for quarrelsome atheists or others hostile towards faith. It's specifically an invitation to fellow Christians whose motives are sincere and helpful. If that's not you, Reddit is down the hall and to the left. I'll mute or block any accounts that don't respect this request.***

@newstart_2024 I don't think they're punishing the anger, they're punishing the behavior.

Dr. Gabor Maté on the hidden cost of "good" parenting
"If you're a good parent, you frustrate your 2-year-old—no cookie before dinner.
Healthy kid throws a tantrum.
But punish the anger ('sit alone till you calm down') and the message becomes: 'If I show my real self, I lose love.'
They choose attachment over authenticity—every time.
Because without attachment, they can't survive.
They grow up pleasing others, afraid of their true selves.
Then at 30, 40, 50: 'Who am I? Whose life am I living?'"
This is how we lose ourselves early—and spend decades finding our way back.
1:29 clip inside—profound truth.

I prefer the term "simulated intelligence." It also has no frame of reference for what "truth" is - it seems to be designed to pull any and all information from online sources, and to tell the user what it wants to hear. An incredibly flawed tool that will one day be used to deceive the masses.
English

AI doesn't really seem "intelligent" to me. It seems like it is just a huge database of everything loaded into it, with a program designed to chat to you.
AI is not innovative or thinking up new original thoughts to take us to the next level. It is just regurgitating Reddit or whatever was loaded into it.

@TheresaArueyin1 Uzza assumed that his hand was more clean than the dirt on the ground.
English

God killed a man for trying to help. His name was Uzza.
And when you understand why, it will change how you approach every area of your life.
David was moving the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem.
The oxen stumbled.
The Ark began to fall.
Uzza reached out to steady it.
Makes perfect sense… right?
The moment Uzza touched the Ark, God struck him dead.
David was angry and confused.
Why would God kill a man who was just trying to help?
Because David missed something crucial.
God had already given specific instructions for moving the Ark:
— Only the Levites could carry it
— On their shoulders
— Using poles
— And never touch it directly
(See Numbers 4:15, 1 Chronicles 15:15)
But David copied the Philistines.
He used a “new cart”
Uzza’s heart was right, but his approach was wrong.
God doesn’t need your help.
He needs your obedience.

STARGATE RETURNS!
Yes, it’s true. 14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon. And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history. It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past. And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more.
Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.
Martin has been developing this show for a while now. A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”. That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series. Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.
You are all in for a treat.
Eventually.
Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond. Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.
It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process. Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!
Get ready. We’re heading through the gate one more time.
Chevron Eight is locked!
