I think you are confusing what OP is saying with what the Bible says.

I took it more along the lines of “this story existed and was originally meant to teach young girls not to be tempted” and then the writers of the Bible came along. They used a common story to help with the point they were trying to get across.

This is not too far off from what is commonly known about pivoting the pagan ritual for the winter solstice and dressing up a pine tree. Now know as Christmas tree.

Originally i would agree but i am referencing how things are today as that’s what the meme is referencing.

If you asked Americans today if they are the rebels or the empire the folks I know concede that we are the empire. We are the ones going into other peoples home towns with military occupation.

Very true.

No, not okay. The monkey puppet reaction.

We are not shocked to learn we are the bad guys. I never said it’s okay, I just disagree with the reaction meme to indicate we didn’t know it.

Not sure where you pulled “it’s okay because America” from my statement but no need to jump to conclusions and put words in peoples mouth.

I disagree. Most Americans know we are the fire nation/empire from Star Wars.

Well at least most people I know.

Yeah, I am glad I essentially stopped. (In case you couldn’t tell I was joking with my tone)

Glad you are bringing up some of these points because most people don’t actually realize it ages you.

All real talk aside it’s now time to start rewatching Cowboy Bebop. Hahaa

Y’all up in arms over the bad AI image and I’m just sitting here thinking, “If the dude took a picture of a boarding pass to get on the flight he was not a fellow passenger.”

No... I hate to tell you this but you are completely wrong. I smoked since i was 18 and even grew up with parents that smoked. I eventually stopped daily smoking when i was 25 years old. I only smoke every once in a while when i get together with my friends. About 2-3 packs a year now if we have to put a number on it.

I am not even 40 yet and I TOTALLY HAVE HAIR, TRUE MAN I DO. I HAVE HAIR, AND LOTS OF IT. "I have the most hair anyone has ever seen" end sentence with index and thumbs together touch each hand in an 'okay sign' pointing at each other

Yes, Italian beef for St. Patricks day. Hahaha.

In all honesty I wouldn’t blame you or Chicago, they are super delish. (Edit grammar)

There’s no way that dude lost both his arms, it looks like a flesh wound to me.

Ahhh!!! That totally makes sense. I took the comment to be about digital clocks specifically vs analog clocks. Not about the type of time keeping. Then the translation analogy totally makes sense and works! Gotta love learning new things from people. Thanks Swedneck!

What do you mean if your brain works in digital time. This doesn’t translate for me and I grew up with regular clocks and wrist watches. All time is the same. A clock with both hands facing 12 is and always has been twelve o’clock. Clock face or digital clock. They give the same time. Comparing two devices that give the same information in different ways to language is absurd.

Your comparison could work if the subject being discussed was 12 vs 24 hour time keeping. Then there is a translation between the two.

Or written on the constitution.

I disagree. The comment says you can Sync up memories. That means those memories and experiences would happen to both people once Synced.

If there was no Syncing then I fully agree.

I actually really like the PowerA one. Cheap by comparison and feels really good. (To me at least)

Actually, according to reports it can't even do that right.

Reminds be of living in and near Atlanta GA and trying to find Peachtree.

Its a simple thing. No sitting president has debated a primary candidate. Its as simple as that. There have been upsets before in the nomination process so you don't do it. R or D, its a simple strategy that you just don't do.

I actually don't think you are too far off. About a week ago i read about Masimo unavailing their watch for $999. Not many people will buy a watch for that much even with a blood ox system in it.

I think Apple will wait a year or two for them to "fail" by not succeeding like the investors want and then offer to purchase the company. A super low ball price and then just keep moving on with their plans.

I am with you! It drives me nuts seeing the exact same thing right after another 3-4 times in a row.

I have been blocking the user that does that for the past few months.

The only part I am not with you is blocking the instance. Blocking the use is enough in my opinion. It’s hard enough moderating content. An instant shouldn’t need to scour other instances to find out if it duplications happening at the same time.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not on you about it I’m just saying, I think you might be losing out on a potential gain by blocking an instance due to a user
