Yeah my church pays one pastor and feeds about 200 families per week.

When quoted in churches, it’s usually quoting from the letter 1 Timothy:

If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:3-11 NIV

Also: “Why doesn’t the Fediverse have a larger user base?”

I agree. But this place is somehow worse. Fuck, I think I might go back. FML.

The same regulatory burden falls on small mom and pop locations and makes doing business impossible for anything but billion dollar corps who are only profit-motivated which drives down wages and leads to the current cost of living crisis that most of the west is experiencing.

If you fall down the stairs, that should essentially never be a lawsuit in my opinion unless there was extreme negligence on the part of the property owner. If you burn yourself it should be your fault. All of this unnecessary regulation and liability is what makes everything so unaffordable.

I’d say it’s more because of bullshit lawsuits. 90,% of the warning labels we have should not be necessary. We used to just accept that if you did stupid shit you might lose a couple fingers or die. Now it runs businesses into the ground and we have created a massive leech of an industry that is insurance. Insurance and lawyers are to blame for all of this.

They’re also kinda weird. Unlike wine,

I was trimming a tree on my property and a big branch kicked back and broke my arm. I said, “It’ll be fine.”

It’s fine.

It isn’t only misuse. Sick now means very nice. That didn’t happen because people didn’t understand the meaning of the word sick. Language just changes, and dictionaries acknowledge common use.

Yes, in this case it probably came from generations of people not understanding the difference between a cow and a bull. And most people only see cows irl, not a lot of places have fields full of bulls. I was pretty much raised understanding that “cow” was both a general term and a specific term. No one uses the term bovine in real speech.

It once was wrong. When it becomes one of the definitions, it’s no longer wrong. That’s how language works.

If you look up the definition of cow, it includes this:

(loosely) a domestic bovine animal, regardless of sex or age

So, it is maybe an informal use of the word, but not unrecognized.

The game doesn’t even support modern resolutions, or does it? I played it when it came out, and remember trying to play it years later and giving up, but I don’t remember why.

These spaces are not welcoming to discourse and different ideas. I don’t agree with a lot of what I see here but idgaf about being downvoted or banned. Most of my family and the people I work with would be horrified by Lemmy. I still think we should be exposed to spaces we don’t agree with, but don’t be surprised when people don’t want to be here.

Eh, the nurses do most of the real work.

I understand what you’re saying and it’s good policy. Many cashiers get confused by those things. I cashiered for many years at a place where if my drawer was perfect to the penny I got a free meal for my break. I got a free meal every single fucking day. Those scams just don’t work on some of us.

I need to learn this wisdom. Gen x and I fix way too much bullshit from idiots. The only plus side is often people give me their old PCs and some of them have one or two great components. I recycle what I can and salvage anything worth saving but I need to spend less time fixing worthless hardware.

Barry Leiner. He didn’t like me dating his daughter because I wasn’t Jewish. But man did he love his Celica. It wasn’t fancy, but it was to him.

You really love that piece of shit don’t you?
