Let's say everyone gets 10 paid sick days off
The guy shovelling maccas and fake chemical shit down his throat and believing fauci gets them off cause he's constantly ill
You're a fool to not take them too. Have a few extra days with your family, a little vacation, do a project or get something done, so that you actually get a day of rest. That's not embarrassing, that's refusing to work for free, which is what you'd be doing in effect by not using that entitlement while others do.
Right to repair laws are also terrible regulations.
Why?
He had a few years before that to teach his disciples and spread his teachings
And seeing how it then spread and made the west, I'd say it all worked out reasonably well the way he did it actually.
So, he should have done the bronze age version of fed-posting in large public fed-infested places, before it was time?
That's another big bit of context, a running theme, the pharasies trying to get Jesus to say something and put him into rhetorical traps as with 'render unto Caeser' coin thing. The Romans know this too, and they question specifics who exactly he is claiming to be king of and in what way it is meant. All while there are these groups insisting on violent resistance and rebellions, much of the population is clamouring for and insisting on it, and some believe the messiah is supposed to lead it.
This is one of the boring ones that people always quote without understanding the context.
It's about roman occupation and customs, and assertive resistance against the occupier in two of them. In this part of the sermon, Jesus offers 3 examples.
but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other:
Romans slapped. Backhanded slaps for slaves and inferiors. Notice how Jesus did not say 'on one cheek', that verse specifically notes the right has been struck first. Which for a right handed person to do, is a backhanded slap OR a left-handed open palm one (and in the middle east, the left hand is used for unclean stuff). If that happens no, you assert your rights, assert your equality, and insist on the other cheek, a slap between equals. It's non-violent resistance.
And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.
This one is social and legal shaming. You can't leave someone naked, it brings shame on you but also on them for having caused it. It's non-violent resistance. This one is more about your peers who would try to use the courts than the occupier as such. But your brother can seek to oppress you all the same, resist and shame him.
And whosoever will force thee one mile, go with him other two
The expression go the extra mile is one of the most twisted examples. The verse doesn't mean anything like that. During roman occupation they had rules and practices (impressment) that allowed soldiers to make you carry their stuff 1 mile, but no further. This was a compromise so as to not cause too much resentment and foment rebellion. 1 mile is manageable, but if you take someone's whole day, then they and their family might starve that day... and you start getting rebellion (or 'resistance' as it were). It was regulation to keep the soldiers from conscripting you too hard, not a law to force you into permanent servitude, they were trying to keep their soldiers from getting too out of hand. And so when you got impressed you'd be looking like you are doing the 'right' thing by offering to go the 2nd mile, but you've actually put the soldier in a bit of a bind if he accepts. That could cause him to get in some trouble if his higherups were to hear of it.
They're all about assertive and clever resistance to oppression and injustice, remember that legal cleverness was also highly valued at the time. Like the verses about rendering unto Caesar, these verses have been removed from their context by the sola scriptura crowds, who don't bother to look at the context surrounding what was being said and why, the cultural context and the hyperbole used just a few verses earlier, and how some interpretations simply do not make sense when compared to other comments from Jesus.
The word resist is also debated, is it violent retaliation that is being prohibited, or any and all attempts at maintaining your honour and seeking justice. I would argue only the former, and early greek from what I am told bears this meaning.
that one the muslims are used to though.
doctors and hospital workers all still use them
Because hospitals have thick walls and equipment and shielding all over, you cant get a phone signal. Or rather, there are just a few spots where you can get inconsistent half-bar reception and the nurses know where. So they all have pagers.
Tunnelling soldiers probably encountered the same issue (or its a tracing thing as compared to phones)
So I'm guessing that isreal killed more than a few doctors with this too.
And it seems retarded, you had access to all their comms and you just blow it up rather than keep listening in? Or saving that bomb for a necessary moment? Idiots, unless they're going in heavy right now. Or its fake and gay
the navy just got even gayer
Why would a country agree to policies that are detrimental to it's success?
Because they're ruled by those loyal to $ or something else, rather than their country.
'democracy' means something else to them

Oh man there is some great cringe from that thing. Premium quality
No
They're already engaged in it.
too much focus on 'they swapped' in the 60s.
Things like fake talmud quotes
Ay? Which commonly spread ones are fake?
I suspected this from the start. Good to know others are thinking the same.
One thing that got really noticeable for me ever since I got into anime was it was only anime where I could find any epic orchestral pieces anymore.
Weeb games too.
Yeah, Japan is revitalising classic music and keeping orchestral music alive, good on em for that.
Here's what I need help understanding.
It not making logical sense is part of the point.
The less it makes sense, the more outrageous it is, the more contentious it is, the better it serves as a filter and identifier.
A good example is the deaths around BLM (with credit to slatestarcodex): People on the back-the-blue and conservative side could all agree, or were somewhat sympathetic, or had reservations about say, the case of eric gardner. The man was choked out for the suspicion of the crime of basically tax evasion by selling loosies. And contrast with the knee on shoulder of 'saint floyd', the chokehold used on Eric was actually not taught and not allowed. By reasonable logic, this should make it an even better case, you even have the libertarians and many on the right on your side, this was unjust, we could all agree, or at least there was enough on the right that did. So the BLM riots should be about him you'd think.
But that's what makes it far less useful to the left except to maintain and increase rage. You can't signal that you are a true communist believer by marching for Eric, because even the right agrees that that one was at least iffy. No, they need someone awful, someone who had just robbed a place and who points guns at pregnant women, and someone who died from routine police treatment from a heart issue because he was overdosing on drugs. Only a true believer would riot for that cause.
This is similar, you're looking at it all wrong. It makes no sense for there to be trans rep in this futuristic setting? "Good, because fuck you, by putting it in anyway I further prove how dedicated I am to the communist trans cause, how much of a trans-ally I am."
It not making sense is even more of a reason to do it. Both things not being able to both be true is a feature, not a bug. Engaging in this double-think is how you prove loyalty to the party.
im going to be an aos simp
But a lot of that is the sigmarines just being far less popular while gw tries to push them as hard as marines to replicate that same thing. You 40kers have 80% of people playing marines, if you try to look at popularity of discords or subreddits or polls done in the main aos servers and subreddits, to see what the popular aos factions are, or if you just look at what you see in the community, sigmarines are nowhere near as dominant as space marines are in 40k. About 7-10%, only just above some other major ones and losing to some others.
I think it has issues, but I think the starter boxes aren't a indicator. Because its always forced full of sigmarines that nobody wants. And so those boxes have never been in anywhere near the same demand.
You're on the money, they are just evil and they want nothing more than to desecrate another of the great catholic works of art.
it needed a cleanup, it was suffering from bloat.
But then they immediately bloated it up again.
I'd have spun the old magic ones into their own faction, advance the story and have them deteriorate.
Kept the beastmen too.
oh and we'll delete your army and this is what we're replacing it with
kilt, the scottish way. Get a proper breeze around your bits
I feel like I've become 1% gayer every time I see it....which means I'm up to 672% gay now I think.
Well then if you started at 0 then you'd still be at 0, just saying
thats what they want you to think.
