Me too.
Baronius press makes a nice Douay-Rheims & Clementina Vulgata side-by-side bible. Best of both. Get your Latin and your ye-olde translation together
Found a website that does similar:
https://www.drbo.org/drl/chapter/22017.htm :
The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment. Munera de sinu impius accipit, ut pervertat semitas judicii.
they denazified but never destasified.

Awwww.
I was talking about Japanese depictions Christianity the other day. I thought a lot lot of it seems surface and aesthetic inspired through a filter, but the underlying theology and philosophy isn't there. But I'm absolutely ready to be proven wrong, and even just on the aesthetic basis I'd love to see the best they have to offer.
I'd love another post that does explore this.
The fact that it would rile those two up some more is only a side benefit. I really was talking about this the other day and would love your recs on that.
Interesting. Can I ask why? Are they messages that particularly resonate with you? Are they what you think the people here need to hear?
I'm noticing a pattern, going for the verses that acknowledge our failings, the more humble verses?
He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.. Maybe he should read proverbs 18. Taking the time to read the responses from the Christians, that we disagree with this thesis, might have spared him some public embarrassment.
This is a pattern though. I don't know why this guy is so obsessed with trying to tear down Christianity in every thread that mentions it here. It's like the imp's jihad against women, but even more cringe. Like a lost redditer or tumblr user trying to attack with compound insults and going on about 'sky daddies'. Pathetic.
Bowtie, opinion disregarded.
The pagans of Greece and Rome built and cultivated successful civilizations, not without their flaws, but far and above what the subsaharan africans, australian aboriginies, or American continents achieved.
Catholicism brought them to even higher heights yes, but this blank slate thinking is nonsense, there are other factors. Mud huts can be surpassed without Christianity. If you want civilization at the level of the Sistine chapel, ok yes you need Christianity, but Europeans can get to the Acropolis, proto steam engines and philosophy before then. Why can't the sub-Saharans?
if ya have that map I'd love to see.
Based take. Absolutely plausible.
I think it's a combo.
Not seeing the lips and having the sound be muffled is a lot of sound and info to be lost over a day. 2 weeks woulda been fine. 2 years of struggling to understand the teacher is an irreparable setback. The smart kids were fine and tuned out anyway, but the struggling ones fell behind.
Good idea OP, and good idea artemis
Same thing where I am basically.
Our CBD's main hub is basically 2 short streets that are pedestrian only and a central courtyard in front of the main trainstation. The broader city extends out a bit, and incorporates 4 streets, and all the sideways connecting them. They moved half of the trainlines up away from that main area, dropped an ugly as fuck lump of green snot sculpture in front of the main station, and killed the main courtyard. There were a series of malls connecting the two main streets, these were always bustling, with one of them being a massive complex. The others were far more simple, just roads with 10 or so stores. But then the main central one started shutting down, trying to kick out existing tennents to put in 2 big box stores instead. But the contracts didn't allow them too, there were 3 or so holdouts. And so for the longest time the whole thing was dead, just a dead mall you walked through to get to the other one with a couple of holdout stores still there (good on em too, fuck the owners of that mall).
And the whole cbd now smells of piss.
It's somewhere you used to make a trip out of, families would travel down and go to the city centre. There's nothing there to visit now, and it's not safe.
Also, there was never any dignity in acting.
Professional liars and prostitutes, that's what society recognized them as when society was sane.
they did the lite version of that in aus 2 year ago. Non stem cost went up 2x cause it's useless.
I think part of it is a biological mismatch, they may desire the same sex, but that doesn't change the other parts of them that are still made for a relationship with the other sex.
The gay man community is promiscuous and bitchy for a reason, women aren't there to temper those impulses, instead they're trying to attract other men. If women were as up for shagging as men were and in the same ways as men, society would get nothing done and would focus just on sex, and so it is with the gay male community. But for women sex comes with higher responsibilities and different meaning, and so they (in a healthy society) guard it, they gatekeep it and require investment. To do so is their biological imperative.
Similarly, lesbians trend towards fat and angry. Not all of that is socialisation, even in a healthier society where women were socialised right you'd see higher rates of abuse in lesbian couples because there's no more stoic stronger partner and they're not attempting to achieve what men are looking for in a partner.
California caused us all to pass that point, and made cancer warnings the world over absolutely meaningless. Ironic, in that everything out of California is cancerous
I am starting to notice a pattern...
Why not reserve judgment until actual reviews are out,
You have to make judgement calls before something is out sometimes. I'm in the market for an upgrade to my rift s right now (the left controller is a bit damaged)
I'm also wanting to invest in tech atm.
I am at least a hobbiest familiar with the tech and am somewhat in communities that use it and talk about it
We all knew the metaverse was dead on arrival right? I'm not saying that this is as obvious a flop, but I'm going to make a call, and I just don't see how this works for apple.
And besides, its not like I'm ruling it out forever. I'm open to being pleasantly suprised, I just dont think it's likely.
I've been saying I think AR is the future of gaming for a while, with VR being the path.
But this isn't it.
There are some things in its favour. VR gaming has come leaps and bounds in its movement thanks to valve. Half life alyx solved a lot of the issues and now a first person game is far more enjoyable. It's only now that a big FPS hit is possible. And we've lost a lot of the cords. Rift CV1 needed 3 sensors round the room and cords to the pc. Rift S needed cords to the pc. Quest and quest 2 didn't need any cord, but if you optionally did link it up, it became far more powerful. All for $600
But we haven't had it yet. The groundwork has only just now been laid down where movement isn't balls and cords are optional. A $3500 device that offers nothing that rigging the passthrough cameras on oculus devices at $600 could achieve? It's baffling (until you consider that military idea someone had).
Because many conditions either are on a curve, or have a varying effect. Bell curves and other curves are everywhere in nature.
Let's look at something that's easier to diagnose through more objective means though. Down syndrome. Some of them are basically just a bit slow, but can reasonably function. Others have the intelligence of children, others have that of toddlers. Now it's true that the extra chromosome isn't on a spectrum, it's pretty binary*, but its effects are on a very wide curve. We know of plenty of conditions like that.
Vision, hearing, flatulence, fertility... there are conditions that damage these to varying degrees and there are low ends of the normal curve for just natural reasons. We know of plenty of metrics and skills which can be affected on a curve.
Next we have an effect where in medicine we have cutoffs for normal functioning. 2SD is usually the cutoff, bur it can be messy. If your skills are below 2 standard deviations in anything it gets classed as something. Like your IQ. If it's lower than 70, you are mentally retarded. But what if you're just a slower kid from a family that all hover around 75 anyway, do they suddenly have a condition now cause they were below their family average by a mere 6? Classification gets messy.
If you've ever worked with autistic kids and adults, you know that there is indeed a range of effects it has on them, a variety of skills are affected on a curve, and a bunch of behaviors that manifest on a curve. A lot of them have problems with sensory input, easily overstimulated or whatever. Some will shut down, or be functional enough to remove themselves from it. Others go balistic and you won't get anything out of them for a week after it. Some have a bit of trouble with metaphorical and figurative language, and have to really work and spend extra time on things like idioms as a part of their special education. Others do not get it at all. Others aren't even at the point where that's an issue, completely averbal. Some have echolalia, and maybe 10% of what they say will be repetitions of something else. Others it's all they say. I'm not talking about the tumblr selfdiagnoses. I'm talking about the people who absolutely certainly do have it, it's just moderate. But If we accept that its effects can range from extremely severe up to moderate, it therefore stands to reason that its effects can also be less severe still, up to mild and marginal.
You are right to be skeptical of everything the med establishment says and does, and with adhd and autism in particular they have become movements and trends. I agree. But throw out all your biases, look at this purely logically:
If there is 'something' affecting these kids and its effects range from very severe up to moderate, why logical reason is there as to why it couldn't also manifest with mild or marginal systems, particularly if its forming its own curve. Yes, it can be hard to tease apart from the people who are just on the extreme low end for social skills. There's 2% of the population down there just cause that's where they fell on the curve and didn't develop those skills. That's true too. But the fact it might be hard to tease apart one from the other doesn't mean that they can't both be real things. Why is it impossible that if 1) there are easy to diagnose objectively diseases but also diseases (particularly of the mind) that you have to rely on looking at its effects to diagnose and 2) if there are diseases that have wider curves in how they can affect people. Then why is it that you don't expect there to be a group that are currently difficult to diagnose but for the effects it has on you, and which can have wide ranging effects including mild and marginal, overlapping with people who are just shit at something? Of all the possible conditions affecting humanity, there's gotta be at least a couple of conditions like that.
Be careful of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Fine to start with a position of skepticism of anything they say. But not everything the establishment says is a lie. They sprinkle some truths in there, or they focus on one thing to obscure another.
60s? I said the good old days.
I agree, but then one his his main points is 'look at this long list of men who did this' and 'look at this long list of advantages', so length in a way serves to illustrate his point.
Also, songs should be longer in general, like the good old days.
Lotta answers are too wordy. Too lefty meme.
"I said smart kowalski"
nah man, don't be rama rama, that shit is deadly
It's rare, you'll have to seek it out, but the places that do it in my experience are thriving with young families and it's undergoing a resurgence. There's only 3 here that do it, 2 regularly, here in my city. Out of 50+ churches.
It's well worth the trip though.
