This is what I found.

"Some theorize that the needle Jesus was speaking of was the Needle Gate, supposedly a low and narrow after-hours entrance found in the wall surrounding Jerusalem. It was purposely small for security reasons, and a camel could only go through it by stripping off any saddles or packs and crawling through on its knees. The problem with this theory is there is no evidence such a gate ever existed. Beyond that, what sane camel driver would go through such contortions when larger gates were easily accessible?

Others claim that the word translated “camel” (Greek: kamelos) should actually be “cable” (Greek: kamilos). Then the verse would read that it is easier for a cable (or rope) to go through the eye of a needle. To believe this, however, brings up more problems than it solves, namely casting doubt on the inerrancy and inspiration of Scripture"

This answer came from a christian website and I don’t believe the bible is infallible or anything so I don’t care about that final line and think the 2nd option is more likely. Like even if you are Christian, to believe a possible mistranslation is “casting doubt” is fucking wild. There are proven mistranslations in the King James version already.

The camel/elephant line is a mistranslation. In Greek the words camel and rope are homophones. It makes it a more apt analogy, as a rope is essentially a much thicker thread.

I released a video a few months ago that goes over a lot of the Skypeia Nika connections plus a shitload of other things about Nika no one has realized yet. https://youtu.be/krUZjEg8fVk

A lot of these points I have been saying for years now as well.

This headline sounds like the start of a bad joke.

This is a really dumb response. The replacement for slavery is the same work just paid and without ownership of the workers.

The police are already paid, and they do things that are genuinely neccesary like crisis intervention and investigating legitimate crimes (not busting pot dealers and ticket quotas), they just do a bunch of evil and corrupt shit on top of it (and usually do a shitty job of the neccesary things as well). There does need to be something to replace those roles.

To be fair, OP’s post is also a really shitty analogy because of those reasons as well.

Rhinos have a temperament similar to dogs. As long as you don’t intentionally fuck with them they’re typically chill. They’re likely friends and playing otherwise I doubt the zookeepers would have let this happen.

Better but less topical version of this.

I said Consummate V’s! CONSUMMATE!

I currently use Reaper, should I switch? I’ve never even heard of bitwig, is it new?

You can turn off the animations, the problem is the snail’s pace the HP bar drains in Gen 4.

To some degree you’re right, reading doesn’t make you intelligent in and of itself, but I do think constantly reading like that does make you to some degree smarter. Like even if you’re reading slop, you’re probably smarter than if you had been reading nothing.

It has also been proven that reading makes you more empathetic, because you are actively putting yourself in the character’s headspace.

I’m pretty sure they’re joking. E is slang for ecstasy, not estrogen.

So Moral Orel is an entire series of “The Simpsons did it”.

Was this the pilot or something? I don’t remember Moral Orel looking like this.

Give me Musk and Bezos so I know what to expect when the revolution comes.

Blunts aren’t white, joints are.

If it was possible for her to be replaced by someone progressive you’d have a point. I don’t think it is though. I don’t want a potentially competent fascist replacing her. She probably did more harm to her party by sticking around, even just by going completely mask off to show other people how fucking crazy the conservatives are.

Yes in an ideal world you’re right, but we’re so far gone from that point that I would likely rather have her than whoever will replace her.

There’s also that despite being batshit crazy, she did push for a bill to both stop weapons from going to Isreal, and to release the Epstein files. She at least occasionally did something we agreed with, even if for the wrong reasons. She will likely just be replaced with some dipshit who won’t rock the fascist boat. She was proving to be an occasionally useful idiot and will just be replaced by an idiot.

This is totally something Jessica would post.

Not always true, I’m white, cis, and straight born to conservative Christian parents but fell out of that line of thinking by my teenage years. A lot of it really was just learning and understanding history and politics. Making friends with black kids early on might have helped as well.

As long as you are intelligent you likely would have figured it out on your own.
