This is so terrible and sad.

Also as a non-christian: I think you’ve got it backwards. Christians believe that she was a virgin because they believe Jesus was their god. Basically that it doesn’t make sense to them that a perfect being could be gestated inside a dirty sex having woman, so it must be that she was a virgin.
Also Jesus had a habit of giving people nicknames (eg Simon Peter - the rock) I could see him having a disciple Mary the virgin and another one Mary the mother that got conflated. There’s no evidence for this but idk it still seems more likely than virgin birth.
I feel like I’m walking into a trap here but:
This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.
(…)you don’t conjugate your verbs right.
Black could pin the knight with Qc5?
Edit: but then queen does the checkmate
Qxh8, (Rxh8), Nf5?
No, King takes rook


Very cool thanks for sharing
I agree it’s definitely possible it’s a legitimate noise complaint. Just as ringing bells could be a legitimate nuisance.
I didn’t like hearing the midnight/dawn call to prayer when I was in Turkey, and I wouldn’t like it if a church across the street was ringing its bells at that time either.
What is that like 10am on Christmas day?
I’ve dropped this Propagandhi quote on Lemmy before but I’ll take any excuse to do it again:
is this what we deserve
To scrub the palace floors
To fight amongst ourselves
As we scramble for the crumbs they spit up
Frothing at the
Mouth about the
Scapegoats that they’ve
Chosen for us
If they no longer
Represent us
Is it not our obligation
To confront this tyranny
The sooner they hire someone the less time they spend understaffed and the more they have to pay whoever the hire. It’s not a huge difference but it is also not zero.
It just won’t affect the company whatsoever.
When does a company decide to recruit? It’s when current employees can’t handle the workload and/or move projects ahead on schedule.
Not being recruited increases the hiring cycle time and means the development falls further behind schedule.
It’s not nothing.
Right handed and left handed? (Top image doesn’t follow right hand rule, Z should point towards camera)
I guess I was confused and thought it had to age to be proper pemmican.


Yeah we humanize them because it’s important to remember that essentially anyone that ends up in their position will behave similarly. They aren’t demons, they’re humans. We should stop putting people in their position.


It seems like it’s just “where do you live?”, and “when are you out of town?”.
What worked for me was taking my meds the same moment I put on deoderant. That way I can double check whether I took them by smelling my armpit before I leave the house.


instead of a war on poverty
we’ve got a war on drugs
so the police can bother me
Where are you sourcing pemmican? Doesn’t it take a year to make?
Honestly I agree, I only pointed it out because of the irony of a pedant insisting others ought to use words according to their formal definitions while misusing formal English.
“Right” is a bad word to end a sentence with“Right” is a bad word with which to end a sentence because it can be mis-parsed as as an invitation to agreement.
