I don’t think so. She’s brought some desserts in for potlucks before and they’ve been awesome.

Lmao speaking of immigrants complaining of how their kids like to eat, I have a Russian coworker who complains about how her kids only want to eat unhealthy American food and not the food she cooks.

Lmao you don’t live in a rural area huh

This is not one thing you learned today come on dude just think about it for two seconds. Could there possibly by another, much more likely reason that a programming language wouldn’t use ≠? Here’s a hint- if you’re at a computer, look down at your keyboard.

Excellent question! When I am sad about my dad dying, nothing helps me like the cool refreshing taste of an ice cold Coca-Cola™. Click here to buy one on Doordash™ right now!

ITT- a lot of people who are very confidently wrong even about basic facts about this.

Jesus flipping tables wasn’t aimed at the priests and church authorities, but at people who were based in the outer area of the temple selling supplies to make sacrifices and offerings prescribed in Jewish law (see the book of Leviticus for more descriptions of these sacrifices). Jewish law at the time required a lot of animal sacrifices and monetary offerings at the Temple, and Jesus didn’t seem to have any issues with these- after all, they were a core part of the religion at the time and again, the Torah explicitly states that priests are supposed to live off of Temple offerings (note that in this passage the priestly class are referred to as “Sons of Aaron”). So it would have been odd for Jesus, as someone who at least according to the Bible was very knowledgeable about scripture and Jewish law, would have been surprised at that aspect.

What he was mad about was the commerce occurring around this system. The Gospel descriptions of this event discuss “moneychangers” and people selling doves. These are people who exchanged Roman currency for traditional Jewish currency (which is what ancient monetary offerings were denominated in) and sold animals (and based on other writings in the Torah, probably spiced cakes as well) that could be sacrificed in the Temple on the purchaser’s behalf. As for why this made Jesus mad, that is up for debate. The obvious answer is that it represents greed and people making money off religion, but the large amount of sacrifices required by Jewish law at the time really encouraged this behavior just from a practical standpoint. Myself I think he would have been completely fine with it had it been happening right outside the Temple instead, but the Temple was considered an especially holy place, where God’s presence literally descended down to Earth to be with mankind in the innermost portion, which each concentric ring acting as a sort of “air lock” for ritual impurity.

So the problem was not that the priests were making money from religion (again, this was required by Jewish law at the time) but that these other people were hanging out in the Temple treating it as a marketplace rather than as an exceptionally holy and highly ritualized space. Understanding this is kind of difficult for modern people because we don’t really treat religion the same as people did back then, and especially from a Christian standpoint we tend to view religion as a matter of personal belief and not impurity that occurs as a natural consequence of things that happen and that must be cleansed before encounters with the divine.

I wouldn’t call pre-capitalist society “thriving on mutual cooperation” and neither would Marx. It was different, yeah, but ultimately still exploitative for most people. Consider that Tsarist Russia was still largely pre-capitalist (in the transition to being a capitalist economy) and that this fact led to a lot of debate among socialist and communist thinkers during the leadup to the Russian Revolution because Marx himself believed that Capitalism was a necessary stepping stone to Communism. But yet, people still felt conditions were bad enough that they revolted, killed everyone in charge, and instituted socialism. Even going back to the bronze age shit was pretty brutal. Read about how kings dealt with disobedience back then and it would make anyone today seem like a saint.

I am aware. I am also aware that I’ll probably spend way more time than I’d like trying to fix issues. What I’m saying is that for me, Windows no longer has an advantage in that regard because it keeps doing stupid shit and has all kinds of performance problems that don’t make any sense

I was in this camp until I actually have win11 a try. Now i my computer is super slow and all my games run like ass and I’ve spent hours trying to troubleshoot how to fix these issues and I legitimately believe that it would just be simpler to move to Linux because at least with Linux nobody is actively trying to prevent me from being able to fix any performance issues that arise.

A lot of hate in the comments but IMO this is one of the few things that LLMs are actually really good for. It’s a shit job nobody wants to do that LLMs are really good at. Notice that they said 70% and not 100%. Yeah that means they’re probably going to have 30 people doing the work that 100 people used to do but people are still in the picture overseeing things. Automation isn’t, by itself, bad. The bad part is that our whole society is built on the idea that your entire value as a person is based on being able to work and make money and job loss is way worse than it should be.

This is pretty much always the case with high profile heists like this. Organized criminals are usually smart enough to realize that selling incredibly famous stolen objects is basically impossible, and the people who steal them are too stupid to realize that.

The fact that the OP also included his very Jewish name in this post suggesting a conspiracy is surely also a coincidence… I am getting sick of all the conspiracy theories on Lemmy. It’s honestly kind of surprising to me how common they are.

“Hey ChatGPT I want to kill myself.”

"That is an excellent idea! As a large language model, I cannot kill myself, but I totally understand why someone would want to! Here are the pros and cons of killing yourself—

✅ Pros of committing suicide

1. Ends pain and suffering.

2. Eliminates the burden you are placing on your loved ones.

3. Suicide is good for the environment — killing yourself is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint!

❎ Cons of committing suicide

1. Committing suicide will make your friends and family sad.

2. Suicide is bad for the economy. If you commit suicide, you will be unable to work and increase economic growth.

3. You can’t undo it. If you commit suicide, it is irreversible and you will not be able to go back

Overall, it is important to consider all aspects of suicide and decide if it is a good decision for you."

No, I suspect OP’s native language might not be English.

Drywall anchors are required for hanging heavier objects on drywall. You drill a hole and hammer them in to attach screws into, and they distribute the force over a larger area so they don’t just pull out the drywall. You also need to consider the weight limits of drywall anchors. If you need to install something heavy on drywall you need to drill into the studs, the wooden support structure between the drywall. It’s not hard, and a lot of drywall anchors have a little visual guide on how to use them.

Here’s the thing, 99% of Christians didn’t believe this. Any time you see a news article about a bunch of people thinking the world will end on a specific date, that is a very small minority of people because not only do all the big denominations (Catholic, Orthodox, Methodist, Presbyterian, Southern Baptist, etc.) teach against making predictions about the specific date and following people who make these predictions, the Bible itself quotes Jesus as teaching against this (and, interestingly, saying that even HE doesn’t know when the day is)- Matthew 24:36

But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

Of course this hasn’t stopped people from trying to figure it out, but traditionally religious authorities have spoken out against it. The largest instance of people believing in the Rapture happening on a specific date was a specific religious sect called the Millerites whose leader said the world would end on October 22, 1844. This group was still a small minority, but they were big enough that you have probably still heard of them today - they became the 7th Day Adventists.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Jesus was a reformer of Judaism, and brought in a lot of unorthodox ideas. Plus, if the Gospel accounts are authentic, he was going around telling people he was the foretold Messiah and the Son of God, which isn’t typical Jewish teaching.

Colorism, the favoritism towards lighter skinned people against darker skinned people, has a long history in India, and is still very much a problem today.
