I hope not. I’ve taken my extended-range Lightning halfway across the country and back, and in certain areas you need all that range. I can’t imagine having 200 miles or less, but then maybe they’re explicitly not aiming at this being a vehicle you can use for taking the family on a road trip the way that the Lightning is.
Except that Hank Green sock store. They seem genuine.
I know the legal meaning of a yellow light varies from place to place, but the effective meaning of traffic lights is:
Red: You shouldn’t be in the intersection. You must not find yourself in the intersection, because other traffic/pedestrians/etc are doing so, and if you’re in the intersection, you’re creating a safety problem.
Yellow: a Red is imminent. You should take whatever steps are safe to ensure that you will not be in the intersection when the light turns red. If that means you need to drive through to get clear, then if the path is clear, do so. If that means instead you need to stop and you can safely do so, do that.
Green: you can go straight through; if you’re turning in a legal direction, you can do so after safely yielding.
The one at Boston Logan is pretty good. All soft padded surfaces and everything.
That’s an additive change, not a conflicting one.
What you’re saying is like “the US amended its Constitution to give women the right to vote, so you can’t claim they grant the right to free speech.” The fact that the 19th amendment came after the 1st amendment does not mean the 19th amendment disagrees with the 1st amendment; rather, they address two different subjects, both of which independently needed fixing by addressing them in a foundational document.
If anything, the Filioque, as I understand it, strengthens what I’m saying, because it was a change to say that the Holy Spirit proceeds not just from the Father, but from the Father and the Son (Jesus), since they’re one.
That contradicts Mormon teaching even harder, since Mormon teaching is that Jesus is a distinct, separate god, and is not “one” with the Father (Yahweh) in the way that Jesus himself said he was (“I and my Father are one” in John 10; “whoever has seen me has seen the Father” in John 14) or that the rest of the Christian New Testament teach (as distinct from the Mormon editions, which have been changed based on Joseph Smith’s “visions” that all existing manuscripts were somehow secretly corrupted from some hypothetical original text that has never been found nor referenced in any writings prior to Smith coming up with the idea).
Yeah, I dunno why this is the DoD’s job to hash out, I’m with you there. That part is the Christian Nationalism nasty bullying around.
I get you need chaplains, but IMO just use the official endonyms of each group without trying to categorize or subcategorize, and call it a day and let the chaplains match themselves up.
If I were a Catholic in the military and I got an LDS chaplain (or vice versa) for my religious rites, I’d be upset. So just treat all the little groups as their own little things if you must change something.
If the best you’ve got is “the globally-accepted definition of Christianity that was agreed upon immediately after its founding millennia ago by the closest adherents of Christianity, and was formally codified within the first couple hundred years only so as to explicitly name disagreement with this definition as specifically not being Christianity, and which was only ever disputed in mid-1800s Utah by a random dude who wanted to legitimize his brand-new polygamy cult by pretending it’s part of Christianity is not the definition of Christianity”
…I don’t think you’re in as strong a position as you seem to think.
Mormons are absolutely not Nicene Christians, but they profess to follow Jesus of Nazareth,
Is a bit like
Naturopaths are absolutely not germ-theory doctors, but they profess to practice wellness and healing,
as a way to shoehorn Brenda with the essential oils into the category of “doctor”. At the point where you’ve denied one of the few definitional traits of the category, you have to admit you don’t fit into it anymore, you can’t just pretend the definition doesn’t actually exist. It’s like being a lawyer who doesn’t deal with legal matters, but they have a bunch of ideas their college roommate came up with about how to run a country while he was high before dropping out of the first semester of law school.
They believe that Jesus was God Himself (not another god, or a dude who became a god, but the one God Himself) who came down to die so that humanity could, depending on Christus Victor or Penal Substitutionary Atonement, either be saved from the cursing effects of death or else have their sins atoned?
Or do they instead believe that Jesus, an entirely-separate god that the God and some other “Divine Mother” gave birth to, died to pave a path to becoming a god yourself?
I don’t have to. The Christian church formalized it in 325AD. Joey Smith just wasn’t creative enough to come up with a new heresy. He moved too quick to “okay so let’s do multiple wives and also since my wife is objecting to that God says she’s no longer a prophet and is actually a false shepherd” when he should’ve been doing his homework to make his con more credible.

EDIT: I think maybe you’re confused? I’m not asserting that the uppercase-O Orthodox Church is all of Christianity. I’m using the normal plain meaning of “orthodox”, which is “adhering to the fundamental principles held to be true by a religious group.” All Christians believe that Jesus is part of the Trinity and is fully God, because that’s what Christian means, in the same way that I can assert that all watercraft are things that can travel in water. The LDS faith is not Christian because their cult leader prophet decided stupidly to pick the defining trait of Christianity as a thing he wanted to change.
The Son of God who is fully one with God Himself, the second person of the Trinity, which is one God in three persons.
A ton of the earliest writings in the church were dealing with explaining the Trinity, and nearly every time for the first several hundred years that the Christian church found it important enough to get together and publicly denounce someone as a heretic, it was because of denying some part of that equation (either the Trinity itself, or Jesus as fully God, or Jesus as fully God and one with God the Father). The LDS chucks it out in favor of their own weird “nah, actually everyone’s kinda a god, that’s what’s up with Jesus.” A history dive on “begotten, not made” and the Nicene Creed is helpful here, comparing it with LDS doctrine on the nature of Jesus and on the end times.
That makes them heretics to orthodox Christianity (for denying that Jesus is not “one with the Father”, all homousia) for a similar reason to why Islam views Christians as heretics (because Islam views the Trinity as an assertion of multiple gods, counter to “Allah is one”).
A lot of people see a sort of “X derived from Y” and assume based on lack of any further digging that X and Y are interchangeable, when the very derivation from should call to attention that there was a fork in the road where beliefs diverged. Some of those forks are more divergent from one another than others; Presbyterians and Baptists have more in common than Presbyterians and Catholics, and those two groups themselves have more in common than Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox, and still Catholics and Eastern Orthodox have much more in common than LDS and any Christian denomination you could pick from a hat.
It’s true. Unfortunately, his learnings were exclusively limited to The Boston Molasses Disaster, but boy is he an encyclopedia on that subject now.
I take it they used the King James “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord your God in vain” translation, rather than the more-accurate “you will not carry the name of Yahweh your God for empty purposes”
…like for example, using Yahweh’s name in empty displays of faux piety while ignoring the poor and oppressed.
Fox News has said the same thing about themselves in court. It really shouldn’t hold up as a defense anymore.
Interestingly, if folks like this read their Bibles – especially the Genesis part they love so much – they’d see that the one of the very first commands God gave to humans in there was to tend the earth as a garden. Like, it’s one of the first things ever said to a human in the whole book.
But like a lot of the Bible, right-wing types tend to ignore that because religion is a tool for control for them, not a guiding morality that constrains their unchecked lust for power.
Can’t afford a home, can’t afford a car, might get randomly shot by either the cops or a nutjob or an edgy schoolkid, what an American dream
Thanks. It wasn’t the worst thing she did, but it was particularly crystallizing.
I’ve done a lot of work on healing from it since. I’ve got a kid now, and it’s been healing to live every day in a way that shows that you totally can just love your kid and not have to treat them like that.
No.
I might, if what they did were severe enough, express that what they did is disappointing. But that’s different from branding them with the iron of disappointment-as-identity. Everyone does stuff sometimes that is worse than they aspire to be. The trick is coming back from it, learning and growing and changing.
I remember how it felt the day I asked my mom, after she had screamed at me and hit me a bunch for stuff she made up about me, “what did I ever do to you to make you hate me this much?”, and she screamed back “YOU WERE BORN!” And I believed she meant it, because none of this was out of character.
I was 12.
No kid should ever feel the hopelessness and abandonment I felt in that moment.
Oh cool, a whole new e-waste industry. Anyone want this old gpt4.1 chip? I know the latest is GPT-8 and the whole ecosystem has largely moved on in a way that renders most software incompatible, but hey, it’s right here on this PCI-E card so you can’t stick it in a Raspberry Pi either!
No? Guess I’ll chuck it in the landfill!
This makes me think you’d like the anime “Apocalypse Hotel”. I don’t want to explain why, as that might spoil one or two things, but you’ll get it by the end.
