Live Your Lives

Can somebody explain to me what the connection is between the shark and trans-rights communities? How did that come about?

What’s the teapot a reference to?

Umm, akshually, there would be a number of options to try first, depending on the circumstances:

• never get on in the first place
• the bathroom or the cockpit
• an emergency door
• threaten whoever is forcing you into this mess in the first place so that they hopefully put you to an even quicker end.

I’m a fellow man, but I assume the primary difference between our nipples and theirs is not sensitivity so much as it is that theirs will swing around and rub against things a lot more.

Sopuli.xyz/c/aneurysmposting comes close (sorry, can’t remember the proper formatting for sharing community links.)

I got that reference! Surprised to see it out in the wild.

I guess it depends on the employer. I don’t do office work myself, but according to what I’ve heard from my wife about her jobs in banking adjacent fields, she has a few different queues of things to do that everyone takes from.

The way you phrased this could go either way: were you never taking on more work, no matter how obviously it needed to get done, just because you weren’t explicitly told to do that job? Because that would be a fair criticism in my estimation.

That’s not what they are saying at all. They’re saying small vehicles aren’t even safe in crashes with other small vehicles, let alone with bigger vehicles.

Mind explaining why?

As someone who is much more centrist/liberal, I had to block a whole bunch of leftist communities recently just so that I could keep enjoying the Fediverse. I would have greatly prefered not to, but so much of leftist content on here is far too cynical to any other position.

Why is this news?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was only one user who made that comparison, and they got downvoted hard for that.

What is Ghost?

Those storm troopers must be some big boys.

It’s probably easier for law enforcement if those kinds of people are all in one place.

Why?

Context is important. Literally the next couple verses in both passages say something along the lines of "The disciples asked, ‘Then who can be saved?’ Jesus said, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.’ "

According to the Lexham Bible Dictionary, “most scholars reject this interpretation because the meager textual evidence most likely can be attributed to speculations about this verse by some church fathers.”

According to the Lexham Bible Dictionary, this interpretation “dates back to the fifth century and suggests that kamelos, the Greek word for camel, should actually be read as kamilos, which denotes a rope or a ship’s anchor cable. … However, most scholars reject this interpretation because the meager textual evidence most likely can be attributed to speculations about this verse by some church fathers (Origen, Cyril of Alexandria; see Fitzmyer, Luke, 1204; Barclay, Matthew, 239).”

They also disagree with the gate interpretation, saying that “Scholars have found no historical foundation for this view, and no evidence supports the existence of such a small gate in Jerusalem’s walls.”
