“the morality we can find in the Bible”

It’s ok to own human beings as property: “As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property. You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property.”

Its ok to rape young girls (is God in the Epstein files?): “So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.”

It’s ok to kill babies: Thus says the Lord of hosts: "I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

When David had an affair and had the woman’s husband killed, God killed his baby and had his wives publically raped: "Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and in broad daylight.”

The real war on Iran was the enemies we made along the way

Slackware on desktop, laptop and mini PC, Debian on anything smaller

I like a little spice but don’t get the people who are like “I’m ordering the flaming asshole wings. Boy, my asshole is going to be on fire tomorrow.”

You know what I like? Not having a flaming asshole. We live in a world where food has a neverending variety of flavors. Get one of the many delicious flavors that don’t involve scorching your asshole.

It’s not about quality.

Don’t be offended, I realize I’m the weirdo here, but they seem so pointless to be so time consuming. Entertainment in general is pointless, but I don’t spend hundreds of hours watching a movie.

I’m not into TV either though, so maybe it’s sitting still that I don’t like.

Is it something we need to do? I’ve never felt like it’s a big deal. I like the sunrise/sunset times in the summer and it would effect my life if that changed. I don’t like them in the winter but there’s no great alternative.

Video games. They were fun as a kid on a rainy day but they’re completely lost on me now

“The woman’s husband was able to track the car’s location using an app that monitored the vehicle’s key fob.”

“Have a blessed day”

They discovered a thing that everyone’s known forever. Here’s Bruce Schneier in 2008

Me sitting in a restaurant right now at 3 pm eating dinner: Can’t think of anything

Big tires don’t really help for that though, and lifts like that often have a tighter suspension and a rougher ride. The vehicle you want to drive fast over bumps would be some kind of luxury car that puts a lot of emphasis on having a smooth ride.

I’m always surprised the pizza index works. There are over 20 restaurants inside the Pentagon, including a pizza place. It should be easy to make everyone order from those when something is happening

The article says more clearly “2.7 billion records with Social Security numbers.” The author goes on to say he found 4 records with a friend’s data but in those 4 records were 3 different SSNs. He called the friend and confirmed that one of them was his actual SSN. I guess someone was auto-linking names and SSNs for ID theft purposes and getting it wrong sometimes.

Good thing they don’t read the Bible, because other than the pet dog thing, it’s a tie

Same. I started to like him when he appeared on David Letterman a lot. He seemed genuine and funny. I learned more about him some years ago when he dropped out of public life. People were worried and thought he was being held hostage or died. It was very weird.

Turns out he was doing great and died in 2024, possibly while dressed as Barbara Striesand*. We should all be so lucky.

*(Wikipedia says he did a social media post with a photo dressed as Barbara Striesand and was found dead minutes later.)

I think of the method this guy used as “The Sarah Palin method” because she once did a news interview while people were killing turkeys in the background that way.

Christians should show they’re not the antichrist by getting “Nero,” which is Greek for “not the beast” tattooed on their forehead

What if it’s a torx instead? People have to buy torx bits to work on their car.

I don’t see how it could be effective. The brand specific things I mentioned are almost identical and none of them stop people from repairing their car. The BMW design is simpler than the ones I mentioned. A flat screwdriver with a gap cut down the middle would work.
