The Trinity is common throughtout most branchs of Christianity including Protestant and Baptist. Some exceptions include Jehovah’s Witnesses (who see Jehovah or Yahweh as the only aspect of godhood, and Christ as an archangel) and the Church of Latter Day Saints (the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are separate in body,…

Not wanting to be around a person with mental health issues for fear of your own safety doesn’t make you a mean person. Teasing a person about their height and hygiene, mocking a person’s beliefs (but it’s ok if we follow it up with a j/k), and finding amusement in them being pelted with trash... yeah, that’s all kind…

Yeah, that story left me with the impression that Tim was an unfortunate person in need of mental health help but was surrounded by very mean and spiteful people, but you know the kind of “fun assholes” that get a pass on mistreating others.

Personal issues may be the driving force that draws someone to try heroine or cocaine, but if you truly believe they’re the underlying cause of addiction then you need to read up on the subject. Genetic predispotion, age of exposure, dosage/potency, and method of use all play an enormous role in how people become…

That’s an interesting viewpoint that I’d like to hear you elaborate on if you would. For me, it’s difficult to see how one can deinterlace the notion of ghosts from souls and souls from religion. I can, however, see how a religious person could deny the existence ghosts. (You die; you get sent to your place of…

I share those thoughts. The US has a terrible culture of binge drinking, including the last time Jezebel yucked it up about someone’s DUI offense:

Sadly, the rate of recidivism for DUI offenders stands around 31% over 10 years. A study in Pennsylvania that tracked offenses over the course of 20 years found a shocking recidivism rate of 69%. Ignition interlocks have been shown to do a substantial job at reducing that for first time offenders, but some other means…

I’m not opposed to pixel art, but I do wonder if it’s become a bit of a crutch that prevents game makers from exploring different visual styles and finding their own voice. Similarly, there are some recent trends in animation that artists have been hanging their hooks on (nose blush, noodlely appendages, etc.) that,…

I agree that the ending could be summed up as making the decision between accepting the consequences of your choices or surrendering those choices. Unfortunately, I don’t think they executed the acceptance ending nearly as well as leaving Chloe to fate’s whims. A roll through the devastated town lacked the same…

What are some vegetables that people would recommend? My mind immediately springs to squash and zucchini as they’re both delicious sliced thin and fried, but I’m coming up short of others that might take well to crisping.

Overtime still exists for some salaried positions, but it depends on a number of factors including the field, the duties performed, and salary earned. However, one thing that is true across the board is this: if you earn less than $23,600/year, then you are not exempt from OT pay. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised to…

Ah, the Sherlock of the culinary world... your deduction of the northeast is accurate. I’ll help you put a finer point on my location by revealing that it lies between the the land of scrapple and where french fries are considered a sandwich topping.

It’s hard for me to gauge my appetite for greens so I sometimes find myself in the same position with them wilting. Fortunately, spinach (along side sauted onions and tomatoes) makes a good omelette stuffer. It also makes a nice addition to a pasta dish too.

In spite of my adventurous attitude toward new foods, I hadn’t tried an artichoke well into my 20s. Growing up in a poor, rural area it wasn’t something likely to land on our table (an unfortunate condition true to many in the lower class). Heck, my first time eating shrimp included crunching on the tail because I…

If you haven’t read Dataclysm by Christian Rudder, one of the co-founders of OKC, it’s a pretty interesting read. One of the tactics common to male users, revealed by data-mining, was the copy-and-paste shotgun approach. There are a lot of revelations that are mind boggling, but at the same completely obvious given…

The first time I saw CE/BCE used was in my history of western art class back in the year 2001. I’d imagine text book publishers don’t want to toe the line of any controversary by adopting it for primary/secondary school use.

The federal minimum wage for tipped employess hasn’t increased since 1991 despite increase in costs of living. The hospitality industry doesn’t want to bridge that gap so they’ll leave it to customers.

/tv/ is pretty damn creepy with its obsessions with young female actors.

Of course, they’ll take this scientific discovery and use it to push for more science education in their sick socialist experiments they call public schools. Goddamned commies.

I haven’t had sex in 4 (5?) years and I’m not missing out on anything. Hell, I’d take back the few times I actually had if I could.
