"Wow, what a clean heart. ",
"Neat!",
"Cleaned with bleach?\n\nedit: appears its been on here before \n\nfrom u/drewbie440\n\nThere is- whomever posted this didn't bother to do any research whatsoever. This is a protein matrix of a heart (commonly called a scaffold). It is what remains after cells are washed away and the protein \"skeleton\" they extruded is kept intact. Apparently a proprietary set of chemicals bursts cell walls but leaves the matrix intact. There is a lot of research into using these as precursors to working transplant organs, as they can be seeded with stem cells from a donor. The scaffold does not have DNA from the donor so in theory, the body would not reject an organ re-seeded (forgive the arm-chair scientist terms) because its seeded with the hosts own cells. I'll post a couple videos momentarily about this absolutely amazing phenomenon.\n\nSome NGT on Nova for you\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_91_nARa0E&feature=youtu.be\n",

If you look at the alignment of the hips, knees, and ankles, you see that the knees are much closer to the centerline than the hips and ankles. Ideally, these should all stack directly atop one another. Take a look at the right leg: the knee looks as though it is pointing slightly to the left, while the foot is pointing towards the right (I also suspect that this person has flat arches, judging from the wear on the sandals). In this orientation, the cruciate ligaments in the knee take a lot of strain, they are basically pre-loaded, so sudden accelerations or decelerations can cause tears. [Physical therapy](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b8/d2/02/b8d2021af59f45acbf24cff471278d83.jpg) to increase hip flexibility and symmetrically strengthen the upper leg and hip muscles can improve alignment and decrease the risk of injury.

"If they're exactly the same as the ones I had they took over most of the garden, the pods from the stalks make sure they keep spreading and very quickly . The spikes are very sharp and strong and make sure they are hard to remove. Also not safe for kids and animals and if you get one in you it has some kind of poison that makes it sore for days.\n\nThere are plenty of other succulents like yuccas and Agaves that are great and I have them.

"Fair question. I think the original French ones were intended to be more realistic. The face cards in a deck often corresponded to actual historical or mythical figures, so they were really just drawings of people. The English ones I think are less realistic in their body proportions and were less accurate to the people they depicted so they're considered degredations although some of it may be stylistic preference. However, the French were almost universally considered better at card making than the English at the time, which is why the English just copied their designs. The 200 years of copying was actually a result of a ban on imported playing cards by the English king designed to protect English card makers who were being outsold by French imports. ",

"Well thanks a lot. I make photos & videos of birds on a regular basis - so I kind of have a clue how to capture them. Also - my camera has a big zoom so I don't have to be too close to them.\n"

When I was young she was just an old lady. I feel like the painting allowed me to see her true spirit. Now it is in my living room for all to see.

"I could be wrong, but my understanding is that traditional lithography using limestone plates have been relegated to the history books. In the 1960s the industry moved to offset printing which use metal plates instead of stone. The principle of using the immiscibility of oil and water is still the same though. I'm sure some people still practice the craft for historical reasons, maybe it's even done still in poor parts of the world? I have plenty of stories, but they are mostly about the intrinsic difficulties of the trade and so I don't know how interesting it is to others. Things like how to align color seperations, which angles to use on the half tone plates to avoid moire, that sort of thing. One fun fact though is that when my grandfather sold the business and retired, he used a lot of the old limestone plates in the foundation for his garage. So they are still there, who knows if they will be rediscovered some time.. I know a lot of stone from the pyramids and old temples in Egypt was used over the centuries by scavenging locals to build their homes, some of which have been rediscovered by archaeologists with hieroglyphs still intact. Just a silly parallel there. :) They bought the printing press in Germany in the late 1800s or early 1900s iirc, and his grandfather had his apprenticeship there. Also, about 50% of their cost was in the paper, it had to be special paper and the minimum wholesale order was 3 tonnes.",

In the 40s many machines had to be built for their specific purpose. The wrapping machine can only wrap things of a specific size or small range of sizes. The label stamping machine would put the label on anything or nothing as often as it was supposed to regardless of the correct package being there to be labeled. And at the end of the whole thing it might be cheapest to have people pick up the individual things, put them in the box and seal the box up.\n\nTL;DR of course they had mass production but there was more commercial handcrafting then than there is now.",

"It's a big problem with halftone, but it's pretty well mitigated if you just angle the screens correctly for the colors. But there are many different screen patterns and none work 100%. A lot of that stuff was pretty fickle, and it's amazing that they managed to get as good results as they did. If you messed up the angles or the paper shrunk, or you messed up the alignment holes, etc, you had to redo a lot of manual work and try again. And color for instance is hard to get right when you're using positive film for each color that is then screened and transferred to plates. Then they had to add black ink because even though in theory 100% cyan, magenta, and yellow inks should completely absorb the entire visible spectrum of light and produce a perfect black, in practice they fell short of their ideal characteristics and the result was a dark brownish color. Also, adding 100% cyan, magenta, and yellow ink would soak the paper with ink which caused bleeding and weakened the paper and possibly caused tears.",

It's the reason they are studied, plus their nervous system is very similar to ours.\n\nWhat you have here is genuine fear/curiosity. I know because of the coloring of blue over red (which doesn't match the environment). Saw it several times when I stuck my hand in the tank, before the research tech freaked out on me. :)"

Males run faster than woman in track and field. Males lift more weight in competitions than females.

Your argument of draining the well of black characters assumes that other black people can’t also dress up as these characters at the same con which isn’t true. These characters aren’t a limited resource.\n\nIt also assumes that once a certain number of fictional black characters are created and the scales of equality are tipped *then* it’s ok to dress up as Afro samurai which is an arbitrary distinction for dress up time. Or to flip the script to refine the point- that line of thinking would suggest that if the market were to be flooded with black fiction to the point of overwhelming majority then at that point a black inspector gadget would be in poor taste.\n\nIt’s dress up, it’s supposed to be a fun suspension of disbelief.

"(I don't know what the block does, do you? I don't know. I dunno.) Hey everybody, I'm here with my good friend, Inspector Gadget. Uh, how're you doing Inspector Gadget? I'm having a lot of fun. So, you wanna do some reviews, Inspector Gadget? I'm better than you are, so I should do the review. Okay, alright, well, Inspector Gadget's gonna do the review. You can shut up now, I'm always on duty! Hmm, do you have that game, \"Miney Crafta\"? Penny was telling me she was playing it on her computer book. Let's play Miney Crafta! Um, well, I have Minecraft, I think that's probably what you're talking about. Let's try that. Hmm, oh yes, this is it: Miney Crafta! No no no, Inspector gadget, it's called Minecraft. Oh, Minecrap! I cannot wait to play Minecrap. Do you know what my favorite thing to do is in Minecrap? I love building bricks with Minecrap. Building bricks with Minecrap is the best thing and the most amount of fun you can have while playing an app. I understand why all the kids are playing this game these days -- it's because they like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. I also like to build brown bricks with Minecrap. It's the most fun you can possibly have. What is the point of Minecrap? Well, there really is no point. It's a sandbox game. Oh good, I love building sandcastles. No, that just means you can do anything you want like explore, build stuff, and mess around. What kind of stuff can you build? Well, anything, really. There's one guy that built a scale model of the Starship Enterprise. My deduction skills as a detective tell me he has quite possibly, never had sex. Come on, Inspector Gadget, it's about expressing your creativity! But, he is just copying a fake rocket ship blueprint designed by someone else! Seems more like monkey see, monkey do than using creative energy if you ask me. Oh, you think you can do better, huh? I have a robotic implant in my brain that lets me preform 12,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second. I could rewrite the entire game's code, while helping Penny with her homework, and cleaning up brain's doody, all at the same time! He's a nerd, and I hate nerds more than I hate MAD agents. What an asshole! He may not have a powerful cybernetic brain like yours, but I think that the kid used Minecraft in a unique, and complex, yet beautiful way, making the adaptation of---- I told you to shut up, but you didn't listen. Oh look, a free iPad.",

So if they didn't say anything about the main character and cast being black it would make a difference? There has been 17 MCU movies with all of the leads being white people with mostly white cast besides Dr Stange, why is mentioning this such a bad thing? It really makes no sense. The norm in movies that are created in America is that white people play the lead, there is nothing wrong with that, why is it such a bad thing for people to see this movie have a mainly black cast that is in the MCU. Also Luke Cage was a mainly black cast and the first half was great and went to shit the second half. Critics talked about it and no one attacked them. Luke Cage was hyped up \"BECAUSE THE MAIN CHARACTER IS BLACK\" as well. I really don't see your point. So you don't want them to talk about race at all? And Marvel movies and comics have always been politicized so I really don't see your point.",

Go ahead and dress as Mulan, Echo, George Washington, or MLK all you want.

Rule #3 only applies to white people.\n5. Anyone can dress as anything but we don't do any kind of \"face\".

To me, skin colour is a major part of the appearance here. \n\nAgain, there’s nothing wrong with trying to look like inspector gadget for someone who is not white, but ultimately, at least in my eyes, the attempt has failed. \n",

"> why history has anything to do with this.\n\nI'm going to assume now that (or at least treat you as if) you are not from the USA, Australia, or any other country that has used blackface or brownface to demean and otherwise actively harm people of color.\n\n[Here's an article that covers it well](http://theconversation.com/explainer-why-blackface-and-brownface-offend-65881). Some highlights:\n\n> Blackface has frequently been used to perpetuate demeaning stereotypes of people of colour and symbolises how people who are not white have been represented as “the other”. \n\n.\n\n> At its heart, “blackface” is about power. Specifically, using one’s power to take something important from someone else and use it for ridicule or entertainment. \n\n.\n\n> Regardless of intent, you can’t separate blackface from its colonial history – because the negative effects of this history still shape people’s lives today. \n\n.\n\n> The dominant (white) culture has, for so long, taken things from people of colour – whether it be stories or treasures – because it could.\n\n[Here's another good article,](https://www.vox.com/2014/10/29/7089591/dont-get-whats-wrong-with-blackface-heres-why-its-so-offensive) which includes this quote of another article: \n\n> Blackface is part of a history of dehumanization, of denied citizenship, and of efforts to excuse and justify state violence. From lynchings to mass incarceration, whites have utilized blackface (and the resulting dehumanization) as part of its moral and legal justification for violence.\n\nAnd regarding whether the attempt has succeeded or failed? I'm sorry that the skin color is so important to you. I do, indeed, suggest that you look deeper and see why that is. Inspector Gadget's ethnicity never even entered into any plot point. He could have been any natural shade of human and it wouldn't have changed the story at all. I don't believe you've complained that he's too short or not nearly lanky enough (which I would argue have just as much import as complexion), so I wonder why his skin color is so important to you. \n\nI mean, seriously, you're going to say that the man in the picture *failed*? Even if one were not able to overlook skin tone, does that not seem like a gross exaggeration? ",
"Because it’s a huge part of his appearance. Most of the time when I watched that show, I watched his face and his mouth open and close as he was talking. The rest of his appearance seems pretty similar (ie - Inspector Gadget was tall and not overweight - like the guy in the photo). The only striking feature that seems to not match is his face, including the skin colour. \n\nI am from Canada. \n\nSorry, I don’t see why it’s wrong because of what happened in the past to use makeup to look closer in appearance to a character. \n\nWhy does it matter in this context that it was used to discriminate in the past? \n\nHow is someone discriminating when wearing makeup to change their skin colour in order to look more like a character in the spirit of cosplay?\n\nI’m not trying to be a dick. I just don’t see the connection and silently nod along with this line of thinking in my daily life. \n",

(You did read them, right?) \n\nI will say that if we can look beyond ethnicity in actors portraying actual historical people (*Hamilton*), I think you can overlook it for the portrayal of a cartoon. \n\nAnd, I mean, don’t nod along to what I’m saying. I’m just a middle age white woman. But do actually listen to (or keep listening to) what people of color have to say about the subject. And keep listening until you understand to the best of your ability. And even then, keep listening. That’s what it’s all about. \n\nAnd in case you haven’t had a chance to thoughtfully read both articles, I’ll leave you with this (quoted in the second article):\n\n> The ability to be ignorant, to be unaware of the history and consequences of racial bigotry, to simply do as one pleases, is a quintessential element of privilege....The ability to blame others for being oversensitive, for playing the race card, or for making much ado about nothing are privileges codified structurally and culturally.\"",

And I think that if we can have a little freckled girl dress as Moana through clothing and a wig alone (and maybe through the way she poses), and if we can have a little black girl (or boy, even) dress as Marie Curie, then these are all good things. \n\nI mean, people claim all the time to be colorblind.

"That's what Martin Luther (not the activist, the creator of the Lutheran church) says. \"Be a sinner and sin mightily, but believe more mightily, and rejoice in Christ who is Victor over sin, death, and world. We must sin so long as we are what we are; this life is not the dwelling-place of righteousness\" ",
"Plot Twist: He was resurrected and is now alive and well.",
"Christian doctrine states that Christ died for all sins. Hebrews 9:26 “... for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” \n\nThe Christian belief is that Jesus “conquered” sin. So..... ",
"Looks like John Krasinski has taken a new roll",
"The Lutherans have some valid complaints.",
"That is so, so stupid. It's kind of funny, but it's not how Christianity works at all.\n\n> What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.\n\n> But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”\n\n> Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.\n\nTalk is cheap. Actions matter. \n\nAlso, by the standards of the Christian God, there is exactly one person who never did anything wrong, so everyone needs forgiveness. One important way you show that you are ready to be forgiven is by trying to not do more wrong things (and failing to do a good thing is a wrong thing). You won't succeed completely, you might even fail miserably by your own standards, but you have to fucking try.\n\nThere is a concept of \"good enough\" behaviour, particularly in Catholic theology, where some things are good to do but aren't required. However, that is a concession to help keep people from falling to despair or leaving the Church because of the difficulty of really living a moral life, it doesn't change the actual ideal. \n\nAs an aside, the fact that I could never settle for \"good enough\" when I knew there was a higher standard is a big part of why I stopped being a Christian, the other part being the lack of convincing evidence for God. The way Christian morality as I understood it interacted with my brain left me in an inescapable cycle of guilt, shame and depression where I was no good to anyone. Changing my moral foundation allowed me to break that cycle and start to heal.",

"Right. But you don't get to just sin Willy nilly because of his death. He died so that we don't have to. The act of sinning once is cause to go to hell forever. So instead of us dying, he became the spotless lamb to die for us. So long as you believe in Jesus and continue to repent and strive to better yourself you can find your way to god. Instead of dying because you lied about eating that chocolate chip cookie.\n\nThat's the belief set at least for the Church of God denomination. ",

"It's not so much that Christ removed sin entirely. The Atonement meant that we weren't immediately damned if we sinned, there's a repentance process. There will still be a spiritual punishment if you remain in sin at death.\n\nSo the sign can still work, just replace \"sin\" with \"repent\". \"If you don't repent, Jesus died for nothing.\"",

Then he orders his warriors to murder all the men who complied and steal their women and children. When god finds out he goes \"well, you're my dude, so I guess I can't be mad.

He acknowledges the fact that it is impossible not to sin greatly as we are slaves to it in this life, and rejoices in the fact that God's grace is infinite. The way its worded is kinda funky and old, but the point is the same that Paul makes in Romans 6.\n\nSource: am Lutheran. \n\nEdit: Another point to add: In this particular quote he is using hyperbole to highlight the depth of God's forgiveness, and the whole quote is: \n\n\"If you are a preacher of grace, then preach a true and not a fictitious grace; if grace is true, you must bear a true and not a fictitious sin. God does not save people who are only fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly, for he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are here [in this world] we have to sin. This life is not the dwelling place of righteousness, but, as Peter says, we look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. It is enough that by the riches of God’s glory we have come to know the Lamb that takes away the sin of the world. No sin will separate us from the Lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day. Do you think that the purchase price that was paid for the redemption of our sins by so great a Lamb is too small? Pray boldly—you too are a mighty sinner.\"\n\nSo we can see in context that he is encouraging the reader to repent (knowing that their sin is real and not ficticous) of their sins because no sin is too big to be forgiven, and we are able to pray boldly for the forgiveness because of the power of God's rich grace.",

One major example, to me, was God calling two bears to maul a group of teenagers to death because they made fun of Elisha being bald in 2 Kings. He is condemning those youths to an eternity of torment according to his law, just because they joked about a guy being bald.

"This story is told in Genesis 34. Jacob’s daughter Dinah is raped by a prince of the region (Shechem). He then sends word he wants to marry her, offering to give whatever they want in exchange. Jacob and his sons are rightly outraged. Jacob’s sons negotiate that the marriage will go ahead and they will join as one people if the people of Shecem agree to be circumcised. They agree and Jacob’s sons come in when everyone is recovering from the circumcision and kill them all, rescue their sister, take everything and enslave the women and children. Jacob obviously finds out and is upset, he knows this isn’t going to make the other people around happy. His sons basically say, ‘did you want to make our sister into a prostitute?’ - the passage never has God speak about the issue, it’s clearly a bad situation all round and the most obvious moral judgments would be that Shecem is a terrible guy and Jacob’s sons aren’t great either, but you can understand why they did it.\n\nThere are a lot of stories in the Bible that tell about terrible things happening. Lot’s of times there’s no explicit wrap up where the story teller says (A, B and C were bad, D was mostly justified, E was good etc.). If you read the Bible thinking you should try to be like each person mentioned you’re going to get a lot of terrible ideas. That’s definitely not the point (even if many Christians even fall into that line of thinking).\n\nBetter critical examples are those where the text seems to indicate they are obeying God by doing something that to us certainly seems terrible. The best examples would probably be the horrific violence involved in taking the land from the Canaanites. Of course bad things happen, if the Bible painted a world in which all people acted rightly at all times it would pretty clear it wasn’t telling truths about the world we live in. It’s when it seems to be telling us what we think/know is evil is good that criticism makes actual sense.\n\nEdit: link to text https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+34&version=ESV",
"I think that's generally true. And as someone who *can* be pretty dogmatic about specific theology, I think it's okay to have debates, but it shouldn't lead to sectarianism or conflict. Paul preached time and time again, \"Let there be no division among you. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.\" The specific example I'm thinking of is when he discusses food sacrificed to idols. Some Christians thought that they weren't allowed to eat it, others insisted that they were free in Christ, so they could eat whatever they wanted. Paul basically says he agrees with the latter group, but that both should act out of a place of faith in Christ, in accordance with their conscience, and live in peace with one another.\n\nNow, there's surely a line somewhere in there. Paul still preached morality, and he still taught theology. But there appear to be some things that just aren't worth getting in fights over. ",

The \"events\" of the time were likely fabricated or greatly embellished post-mortem, as it's possible Jesus didn't even advocate himself as the Son of God. His teachings line up with the Jewish movement of the Essenes who opposed the Hellenistic Sadducee elite, who claimed to be Jewish but used Temple taxes to live lavish lifestyles modeled after their Roman overlords. \n\nEssenes advocated for a nearly ascetic lifestyle (coinciding with Jesus' supposed nomadic lifestyle and requirement that disciples give up their personal wealth and belongings) with a life focused on God and religion, and anyone who's studied real history (not Biblical history) would realize that the similarities are probably not a coincidence.\n\nDo not use Biblical scholars as a reliable source. Biblical scholars do what they do with a confirmation bias in mind and are prone to value certain evidence over others because it may support their beliefs and values more.\n\nThe deification of dead, strongly admired individuals was a common thing in the ancient world (and still happens in many places today), and given that the earliest written gospels we have are from hundreds of years after Jesus' supposed life and death, it's very possible that Jesus was just a Jewish social reformer whose empowering message of spiritual agency and promise of recognition to the lower classes was so well received, that his followers decided post-mortem that he was holier than he himself intended.

Chances are that gentile banker would even support Zionist causes, since Israel is largely reliant on the US for diplomatic and military support and the US sees supporting Israel as advantageous for its own foreign policy objectives in the Middle East.\n\nIf capitalists are terrified of the ascendancy of an independent workers' movement and want to resort to fascism in order to crush it, they don't need the existence of Jews to justify that. Anti-Semitism was an important but not sole ingredient for Hitler's rise to power. It took ruinous economic policies (those imposed on Germany after WWI and those carried out by the various governments of the 1920s to \"stabilize\" capitalism) which created a crisis situation for the country and saw the growth of both the Communist Party and its antagonist, the Nazis, with the capitalists avidly siding with the latter in order to stem the rise of the former.\n\nIt is good that Jews have played and continue to play a notable role in the Communist movement. The history of their oppression, and the anti-Semitic policies pursued by feudal and capitalist governments alike over the centuries, contributed to their participation. But there is nothing specifically \"Jewish\" about the Communist movement. The Bolsheviks for instance treated Jewish capitalists no differently than gentile capitalists. The Bolsheviks also struggled against Zionism which sought to tie Jewish workers to \"their own\" bourgeoisie and withdraw from the united struggle of the working-class against exploitation and oppression.",

"I'll take back \"assumed\", it's your conclusion of their ultimate end based upon your interpretation of the nature of salvation, judgement, and hell as described by the bible/christian doctrine.\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nGiven your interpretations of these concepts I don't think your problem is with this story though, it's with the moral reality that your interpretation of these doctrines would indicate regardless of this instance.\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nFirst recognize that none of the first people to read this originally would think the youth were \"going to hell\", Judaism didn't, and still generally doesn't have much discussion of or doctrine regarding the afterlife. The only judgment the original author would communicate is the certainly vicious and brutal mauling of 42 out of an unknown total number of teens, with no specific death count. \n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nOn the nature of salvation: could people only be \"saved\" after the death of Jesus? Orthodox belief is that those who are saved are saved through Christ, but the temporal relationship with the death of Christ doesn't matter. Was Abraham \"saved\"? Yes. Moses? Yes. There's no reason to think that dying before the crucifixion is a hell sentence.\n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nHowever, presumably not everyone is \"saved\" in this way, pre-or post crucifixion. The youths didn't seem like they were in line with God's plans so if they had died here they'd seem prime candidates for judgment in the afterlife, right? So the problem as you see it is that if you apply your understanding of the Christian doctrines of judgment and hell back onto this passage it produces an immoral God.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nThe nature of Hell: I'll grant you most Christians take hell to be eternal conscious torment. That's not the only way to interpret the Bible though. Annihilationism, and Evangelical Universalism are entirely valid alternatives in my view. There are passages that would seem to point to each of the alternatives, so picking a doctrine of hell requires reading some passages otherwise than the most straightforward possible manner.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nTaking the harshest view of Hell leaves us in a scenario where this story isn't the biggest problem. every time someone who isn't \"saved\" is struck by lightning, attacked by a shark, killed in a tidal wave, God is condemning someone to hell for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, by the logic that their cause of death is their cause of eternal judgment. Everyone dies. Depending on your view of God's sovereignty within a Christian view much more needs to be justified than the bears. Is God off the hook if the bears show up a year later and kills them? I don't think so.\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nVery valid questions to pose to a Christian or discuss within a Christian framework:\n\n\n1) Can a good and just God coexist with hell? What understandings of hell are viable?\n\n\n2) Can a good and just God coexist with human suffering and pain at all? How?\n\n\n3) what is the nature of salvation? How does this apply to those before Christ? To those who never hear of Christ?\n\n\n4) Can God rightly kill? Are deaths by natural disaster the work of God? Does this depend on if the event was a \"miracle\"? Are deaths at human hands the work of God? \n\n\n&nbsp;\n\n\nWhat i'm trying to say is that I think the big philosophical and theological questions are missed if we approach the passage in the way your first post did, but instead of just writing that I wrote this wall of text.",

So the church thought that if these good people who weren't Catholics were threatened with hellfire they'd convert because the only reason they hadn't converted before was because they were content with going to purgatory as it's just a waiting room and you get asked to be a Christian again when the rapture happens or something. \n \nThough if you read Dante's Inferno unbaptized babies go to the first circle of hell which is just a black void filled with wailing souls who are denied any contact with anyone or anything.",

">There was widespread anti-Christian sentiment,\n\nThe \"anti-Christian sentiment\" was directed primarily at the Orthodox Church's hierarchy, which was almost completely merged with the Tsarist state and in effect served as the state's arm in perpetuating feudalism. Once this hierarchy gave up its resistance to soviet power, a rapprochement was undertaken. I doubt you can find any evidence that this struggle was \"Jewish\" in origin. Other socialist countries likewise had to struggle against religious hierarchies that had made common cause with foreign occupiers or the feudal/capitalist class.\n\nAs for your \"pretty damn Jewish\" image, the percentage of \"Members of the Bolshevik central government\" seems obviously wrong, e.g. the first cabinet of Soviet Russia (headed by Lenin) contained 15 People's Commissars, only one of whom was Jewish. It doesn't help that the source cited was during the \"First Red Scare\" when you had suspected revolutionists deported and the newspapers screamed about Reds plotting sabotage and armed uprisings.\n\nThe Bolsheviks were multinational, from Russians like Nikolai Podvoisky and Mikhail Kalinin to Ukrainians like Grigory Petrovsky and Dmitry Manuilsky, Georgians like Stalin and Ordzhonikidze, Armenians like Shaumyan and Mikoyan, Poles like Dzerzhinsky, Latvians like Rudzutak, etc.\n\nThe Cheka had a disproportionate amount of Latvians relative to the population (and was headed by the aforementioned Pole, Dzerzhinsky.) No one would argue the Cheka was \"pretty damn Latvian\" except in a purely statistical sense.\n\n>that Jewish people are the primary party responsible for pushing communist rhetoric thanks to their overwhelming influence over the main stream media.\n\nCare to name names? As far as earlier eras went, you had the very first Marxists in the US (notably Joseph Weydemeyer, Adolph Douai and Friedrich Sorge), who were not Jews. At the turn of the 20th Century and into the 1920s you had Eugene Debs, \"Big Bill\" Haywood, William Z. Foster, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and numerous other gentiles. In fact probably the two most prominent Jewish Marxists of that period were Daniel De Leon (a committed socialist but also a notorious sectarian whom the rest of the socialist movement split from) and Morris Hillquit (a reformist who among other things wanted to restrict immigration to the US and opposed the USSR.)\n\nI'd also be interested in examples of \"communist rhetoric\" in the mainstream media.",

Christmas was also one of the major sticking points of the Reformation, Martin Luther and others holding it as an offensive holiday as is, and the Anglican church \n\n>\"strongly condemned the celebration of Christmas, considering it a Catholic invention and the \"trappings of popery\" or the \"rags of the Beast\"\"\n\nIt was not until 1800's that Christmas as a time of religious devotion and celebration as we know it came to pass, not unlike Hanukkah, which even today is not considered a high holy day.",

King Edmund the Martyr was anointed on Christmas in 855 and King William I of England was crowned on Christmas Day 1066.\n\n\nBy the High Middle Ages, the holiday had become so prominent that chroniclers routinely noted where various magnates celebrated Christmas.

"The Southern Baptist definition might not jibe with the RCC (considering many SB consider the RCC the whore of Babylon)... either way, I’ll stick with The Church (RCC), as there’s plenty of history (like, all of Christian history) and plenty of prominent scientific support and achievement to point to. \n\nAs for the gay stuff, yes, the RCC views homosexual sex as disordered (like, out of the natural order of sexuality—purely biologically speaking, sex is for reproduction, and same-sex can never naturally reproduce; also, evolutionarily speaking, its disordered, as there’s no way to pass on a “gay gene” nor is there an evolutionary benefit to it). \nSo yeah, the sex act is condemned (as is extramarital sex, pre-marital sex, and so on) as it divorces the sex act from the purpose of sex. \n\nThat said... homosexual *relationships* are not condemned if they are fraternal, that is, chaste. Just as cohabitation is frowned upon (near occasion of sin) but, if it’s chaste, there’s nothing wrong with it. There’s plenty of people with SSA who live celibate/chaste lives because, though they feel the attraction, they don’t want to act on it and so choose not to, and they don’t want to be defined by their attractions. Just like I should check my lustful impulses towards women, if I experienced SSA, I should check my lustful impulses.\n\nIt’s not trying to have God “change your sexuality,” it’s learning how to use our individual struggles to form a deeper relationship with God. It’s a long, slow slog through life for everyone, and we all have different challenges to overcome. The Church offers guidance based on millennia of experience and observations. \n\nWith as long a history as the Church has, its got more wisdom than any other, save Hinduism and Judaism. \n\nFor real, check out the Catholicism sub and look around for SSA posts. Heck, even post and ask about it. Might be surprised. \n\nThat said, on of my favorite quotes about the Church is from Fulton Sheen: “There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church “",

"> also, evolutionarily speaking, its disordered, as there’s no way to pass on a “gay gene” nor is there an evolutionary benefit to it\n\nMy understanding is that there are two pieces of knowledge in the scientific world that address this: 1) boys that have older brothers are more likely to be gay. The scientific theory on this one is that it could be useful in a tribe where the older brothers are the alpha males and the younger brothers help provide for the tribe. 2) There may be a connection between the mother experiencing stress while pregnant and the child being gay, so evolutionary it would be beneficial when resources are scarce to have somewhat reduced reproduction going on for a while and have more people just helping feed mouths and support the tribe.\n\nAs an analogy, worker bees are female but don't reproduce. Their role is simply to help the hive.\n\n>homosexual relationships are not condemned if they are fraternal, that is, chaste\n\nSo a homosexual relationship that isn't sexual. That's called a friendship. Regardless you missed my point: a regular homosexual couple would have their relationship condemned by just about every Christian denomination, including the RCC. Telling them to abstain from sex for the rest of their lives or try to be straight is simply sidestepping the fact that the RCC and other denominations condemn homo**sexual** relationships.\n\n>It’s a long, slow slog through life for everyone, and we all have different challenges to overcome.\n\nThe problem is when the church creates challenges for people that don't need to exist, like telling gay people that their gay sex is bad.\n\nI agree that there is wisdom to be found within Christendom. Although since I now see it as an institution of man, I no longer require myself to believe that their teachings are superior to those found in the world outside the church. So I believe that while the church has good things to say about some things, they are just plain wrong about others.",

You're unable to name or even describe these sexes without referencing the male or female genitals because the male and female genitals each have, among other things, a specific function in reproduction and a specific (and recognizable, as evidenced by your examples) form. These \"nonbinary\" sexes do not serve a third (or at all separate) function in reproduction (sperm, eggs...what else?) and they do not have a third (or separate) form apart from the penis and vagina.

"I don't disagree with the right to protest, in fact I support it strongly because of its supreme importance to bringing grievances to light. I think it is extremely important to protect that right. That doesn't mean that I think every instance of protest is worthy or appropriate. Just because it is a right I support does not mean I support how that right is used.\n\nFree speech is a right I stand by strongly, but I don't think people should use that right to be a jerk to other people and hence am not supportive of people choosing to do so. I would never say that a parent teaching their child to be a jerk to someone else is an important lesson in participatory democracy, despite thinking that speech is indeed quite important in participatory democracy.\n\nPeople in this thread are conflating the *right* to protest with protest itself. These are two separate things. It is entirely consistent to support the *right* to protest and yet not support a particular protest. I'd go even further to say that this is basically what most people think. I've never heard anyone say \"gee, I really disagree with this war, but I strongly disagree with anyone trying to protest the war.\" I suppose I have heard some people want to ban some forms of protest, but I think these people are dangerously misguided and probably(?) (hopefully) in the extreme minority.\n\nDoes that clear up some confusion in my response?",

"I... I think it was a joke?",
"I believe they call themselves spooki-thereans, these days.",
"Well, not entirely. I may be wrong myself about whether a particular cause is good or bad. I don't think I am the sole arbiter of good and bad, that is kind of absurd.\n\nWhether people are confused and uncomfortable about some ill-conceived general case is not really relevant to whether I think it is appropriate for a child to participate in a protest. I happen to think that there are objective goods in the world and depending on the protest it can be a good opportunity to expose your child to productive and healthy participation in a democracy. ",
"That child didn't ~~say~~ write that",
"No, there isn't.\n\nI think this sign is a little absurd....so there are a bunch of people on facebook citing blogs and news websites? Well, those are categorically not science. We don't have to rebrand \"science\" just because of them.\n\n",
"This might be a confusion from two different ways in which protest is being used.\n \nI support the *right* to protest, even for things I disagree with =/= I support a particular protest\n\nsimilarly\n\nI do not support a particular protest =/= I do not support the *right* to protest\n\nTo be explicit: I support the *right* to protest. I support some protests and not others.\n\nI am a little thrown back by how much push back this has received. I feel like if I were to say \"I don't think parents should teach their children to be jerks\" it would be wholly uncontroversial and no one would be questioning whether I think free speech should be a protected right.",
"What sort of things worried you as a kid? General stuff like global warming and starving kids?",
"Agree.\n\nWhere I am going though is that people deflect criticism for their actions by trying to use the line that \"protest is the most patriotic thing you can do as an American\" as though they suddenly don't need to justify the cause or the methods because the protest is a great thing in and of itself. I reject this.\n\nProtest can produce great results, but the act of protest must be justified based on the message, the tactics, and the goal that is to be expected. You aren't Dr. King or Chavez by simply protesting a cause you are uninformed about.",
"I get this feeling with written signs around the neck of dogs. For some reason these pics creep me the fuck put. It also makes me angry when people say something like “oh he (their dog) really likes [something only humans can even understand]“.\n\nReminds me of my sister. When she tightly embraced our cat that was screaming for help she used to say: “oh he says he loves me! <3“ ...",

"Cool",
"WOW soo original my mind is blown",
"We learned the scientific method, but peer review wasn't really part of it. Nor is peer review purely a science thing.",
">You would need to control for every other factor but genetics and have enough samples to form a good sample size where the only difference between those samples is race/genetic background.\n\nRight, this is effectively impossible to do... there will always be a \"what about\" when it comes to human socialization. No matter how much we account for, there is always a variable that we didn't account for... for example, not enough role models.\n\nHowever, it's pretty widely accepted that increases in size and IQ across the globe come from better nutrition, and better schooling practices which \"exercise\" the brain earlier and with more complex problems, leading to more developed problem solving skills.\n\nIt's why arguments that the average Sub-Saharan IQ is so low are ridiculous, because poor diet due to lack of finances plays a major role in why their average IQ is so low comparatively. If Sub-Saharan Africans had access to the same resources, we would expect their IQ to rise dramatically... and sure enough, it has when they grow up in Western nations with access to plenty of resources.\n\nWhat we do find, however, that even when we do our best to account for things like wealth, community, country, and school system, we still find differences between groups... no matter how you try to break them down. In regards to race differences, [we do find that even the wealthiest decile of African Americans have an average score on Standardized tests (such as the SAT) lower than the poorest decile of whites](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2999198), but the author notes, as you have noted, that it's still a comparison between apples and oranges, due to the cultural differences between the two groups.\n\nWhat we know is that gaps exist, and they do not seem to go away with evenly amounts of wealth, education, or even amounts of access to proper nutrition. As to the \"why\", it's all up in the air with countless different theories. I think the data clearly shows that your hypothesis of income, education, and nutrition isn't enough to explain the gap, but the fact there are so many other \"what about\"'s to explore doesn't mean that the differences are necessarily biological.",
"What? I don't think I said that. ",
"Apologies if I misunderstood, but to me, your comment made it seem like you were saying that every person who goes to a women’s march does gender studies. Was that what you meant, or did you mean something else?",
"Oh, close! I guess you could make the argument the women's march is for all women by women but there's plenty of evidence to the contrary. The poor treatment of pro-life women marchers at these events and conservative women marchers indicates this isn't a women's event so much as it is a feminist event. Feminist ideology is primarily guided by research and studies filtered through gender studies departments. \n\nNot everyone who attended the march is a gender studies student, but that is not at all what I was claiming. Simply that the ideology guiding the march is very much a product of gender studies. \n\nEdit: and I really wasn't trying to make some kind of grand point, I just made a quick thoughtless comment that I promptly forgot about until you commented. ",
"I agree with that 100%. \n\nThat's why I thought it was important to argue against the sentiment that children participating in protests was somehow fundamentally wrong. I disagree with that. I think context is important.",
"It always creeps me out when parents enlist their kids in cults like Christianity. ",
"I'm not so sure this is the case. I think he's old enough to have an opinion on the subject of God v Science. There is after all only so much bullshit you can be feed as a child before you are willing to take a stand. I have no doubt that his opinions are influenced by his parents and his country of birth. Opinions on religious belief are formed around the age of 7, no?",
"Yeah, I guess I believe in science because I am a scientist... And I do see how it's carried out. I wish *you* could see colleagues tear a new one in each other if they notice a badly designed experiment, or a control flaw.\n\nEugenics is utter shit; genetic heritability, however is a real thing. Smart parents tend to have smart kids, due to passing on their genes. Thing is, no one race has the monopoly on intelligence, and there are multiple kinds of intelligence which are extremely hard to quantify.\n\nListen man: don't let this shit catch you. Use your head. Did you read any of the links I provided? Send me a link of something, anything that demonstrates an actual interest on a topic you'd rather die than change your opinion on. If you aren't willing to do personal research on vetted sources, and then at the same time aren't willing to read other people's information, then your opinion is based on absolutely nothing but hearsay and... snake oil.",
"You can make that argument about anything if you wanted to. Here's a picture of an eagle. Let's tag it US politics because we have 2 annoyingly vocal political parties that are arguing about the environment. That makes just about as much sense.\n\nThis is a non-partisan statement and should be treated as such. No labels needed.",
"Can we at least agree that our bodies determine our sex/gender and our mind does not?",
"I believe gender is a social role, while sex is biology. When people talk about men as a group they rarely talk about their ability to produce sperm. \"Men are protectors.\" \"Men are providers.\" \"Men are pigs.\" \"Men will fuck anything.\" These are gender roles and cultural stereotypes. They're socially constructed. This is gender. ",
"Now you are going off on a nonsense tangent instead of being objective. We will throw out every exception. The rule is men have penises and testicles and produce sperm that women with vaginas, breasts, and ovaries can receive the sperm and have babies. No matter what you try Bruce Jenner can never receive sperm naturally and produce a child. Bruce Jenner is a man who mutilated (theoretically) his penis. He will never be a woman.\n\nIf I all if a sudden say I am a camel, am I a camel?\n\nIf I say I am 153 years old, am I 153 years old?\n\nThe answer is no. We are born into what we are and can never change that. Sorry.",
"The brain in your head is like a B.B. in a boxcar.",
"[citation needed]",
"Yup",
"I'm big on consciousness being the medium for reality. Every single piece of objective knowledge has been recorded through human senses and filtered through the conscious mind. Somewhat like a 4th wall effect. Maybe humans are special in this universe and maybe we underestimate our capabilities. Maybe the cosmic event that birthed life had a counterpart at some other point in the universe and we are racing aliens to be the most developed. Maybe there's a whole distribution of aliens that all started exactly when we started. I wouldn't be surprised of consciousness plays a role in the spacetime relationship "

"My only real critique is \"An action shot\" haha. ",
" I saw that but couldn't change it. That's what I get for posting while doing other things. lol ",
"He somewhat looks like Brienne of Tarth lol. Anyhow this shot is really cool",
"Nice shot. Fluid, balanced, aesthetically pleasing. ",
"Totally thought this was Picture of Putin running for President for a sec",
"Thank you for the feedback! 😊 ",
"I just looked him up and you're right. Haha Yeah, I'm one of the rare few who haven't seen Game Of Thrones. 😩",
"Majestic! Though something looks off with the color. Did you do any post processing? ",
"I think it’s a really good start, & you should keep it up! ",
"I did and unfortunatly I have to do all editing on my phone because I live in a really rural area where we don't get cable internet. 😣",
"I'd say the framing doesn't feel quite right. The hooves of the horse are just outside of the frame, so it feels like you didn't consider that when you took the shot. So either put them comfortably inside the frame, or crop them out more decisively. Also, when looking at the picture for the first time, your eye is drawn from the face of the rider down to the flag. But halfway there you're suddenly distracted by these faces of the spectators popping up out of the background. So I'd darken/remove them to bring some focus to the photo. But nice shot otherwise :). I tried to illustrate what I mean with this version: [https://imgur.com/a/j9KuN](https://imgur.com/a/j9KuN)",
"Thanks for the feedback! I had to crop it that way because someone's head was in the way. Right below the hooves there was a big old head of white hair. lol I let my social anxiety get the best of me andI should have went down off the stands to get a better shot. I just edited this on my phone so I'll have to work with some better editing software. ",
"Brienne needs a shave!",
"Thanks! 😊",
"I definitly like the way you took out the people. It looks much better that way!",
"I didn't realize you have to edit pictures on your phone, hope I didn't come across as too harsh! I get that you had to make a little awkward crop given the circumstances, but don't forget that photography is all about timing vs framing. The timing can't be changed in post processing, but the framing can be. So don't be afraid to crop a bit more liberally if it helps you to put your subject in a better spot. It can make a big difference to the overall feel of the picture when you get rid of things like those hooves and the poles on the left. It just cleans up the photo, and helps the viewer to look at what you want them to see. Also; if you want a high-res version of the picture without the spectators, just PM me the original. I can easily clean it up a bit more in Photoshop.",
"I didn't think you were harsh at all! I really appreciate the honest feedback because it will help me become a better photographer. I live in a really rural area so our Internet options are very limited which is why I've been using my phone. ",
"It's a tiny bit soft. Learn to focus quickly by eye because even the best autofocus will mercilessly screw you on a crucial shot. There are situations when you will have to use it, but try and avoid it if possible. \n\nAlso use a slightly faster shutter speed and you'll freeze the motion much better. ",
"I want to say the contrast is too strong but lighting for the subject is fine. Definitely losing some detail in the background, but you want to focus on the subject in an action shot anyway. Either way, this photo is making be feel conflicted about the lighting. \n\n\nI agree that the framing could be better. ",
"I have that same feeling </3",
"It's a female - she scrubs up pretty well in real life considering her frame",
"Oh my. I just looked at the image that popped up. I didn't realize it was a she in the picture I saw. haha",
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled like elderberries.\n\nOh you meant critique your techinque....",
"A very furry hamster...",
"actually, I would suggest the opposite, if you can, use a slower shutter speed and pan with the motion of the horse, you will get the horse and rider in focus and the background will blur and show motion.",
"I understand that you had to crop out some spectators, but my suggestion for this sort of shot would be to give the players somewhere to go. The horse and rider are obviously moving, so your picture should include some space for them to move into, so they don't look like they're running off the edge of the frame.",
"Is that from the Great Lakes Medieval Faire? I bet they wouldn't mind having that picture for their Facebook or website.",
"Ok. An* ",
"It is, actually! I have several pictures that I'm considering entering in there photo contests. ",
"I saw that after I posted. My fingers and my brain aren't working in unison today. ",
"Looks like Jorah Mormont and Ned Stark had a baby",
"I would like to see more of the field below. For me the feeling of the players running off the edge adds to the feeling of motion while drawing the gaze from front to back.",
"You aren't the only one I'm sure. ",
"I'm just going by what I can see in the picture. I don't know how far the horse traveled, how fast he was going, etc. All that affects whether or not you can blur the background. ",
"Actually depends on how slow you can drag the shutter, and how steady you can pan. Based on the flag and the horse's mane, I suspect this was a medium gallop.\n\nBut you are right if moving too slow, it becomes very difficult",
"I don't want to beat a dead horse (haha), but as others have said the framing is off. Sounds like you were shooting from somewhere with an obstructed view, though, and this was the result of editing/post-processing. Other than that particular choice, I think you made some good choices. The lighting is dynamic, the colors are saturated but not to the point where it looks fake, and though others have said the focus is too soft I think it works here. \n\nThe tail end of the flag is outside of the frame, which grates my eyes a bit, and there is too much room at the top of the frame imo. I firmly believe the rule of thirds was made to be broken - just not in this particular photo. Next time don't hold back if there's a better vantage point you want to use to get your shot! ",
"You can also crop and enlarge in post with the rider on the right vertical third with the spectators peering over the horse's rump. It won't make it a great photo, but you can learn heaps by cropping every which way... "

"I’m just glad I’m getting it now, rather than when I’m 45. Hopefully it will help my memory. Hopefully you’re getting some decent treatment for the headaches.",
"Thanks for your service.\n\nCPAP = CCRAP The fix is worst then the problem.\n\n\n\n\n",
"They say you get used to it but I never did even with the facemask I still unconsciously pull it off at night.",
"I'm glad to see you are getting the treatment you need, have earned, and deserve. I'm not sure how the VA is not better funded; I haven't spoken to anyone in my life, right or left, that is against it. Yet it seems under staffed and under resourced. That's not our intent, us voters don't want that for our veterans. We're fucking up. What do we do?",
"While I'm sure sleeping next to fiery poop pits is unhealthy, how do you know it's related to your sleep apnea?",
"Learn what laws actually effect Veterans. Lots of bills just slap the word “veteran” on it, but don’t have much to do with us. Many times both parties will bury veteran funding into unpopular bills they know won’t pass. \n\nIf you see any politician talking about a bill that has to do with Veterans, write down the name of the bill and go to:\n\nhttps://www.senate.gov/legislative/bills.htm\n\nhttps://www.congress.gov/\n\nResearch what is actually going on. Many times opposing parties will claim one party wants to defund a program because they hate vets, when really it’s an expensive program that’s not not working. Or they want to fund a program that has “Veterans” in it, but it’s really just a gov. contract to company that has nothing to do Veterans.\n\nThe biggest and most important thing IMO is to be well informed by actually reading the legislation yourself, then questioning your local leaders on it. Don’t rely 100% on a news outlet (this is NOT a “fake news” statement) to tell you what’s in a bill and what that bill means. If you don’t like their answers, make it know, and then vote. \n\nFor the love of god, vote.\n\n",
"Aware me on burning poop ? Why did you do that ?",
"Ok. I know you don't want to hear this but your sleep apnea is way more likely associated with your weight than with the flaming poop. \n\nThe lung cancer you'll get in your 60's will come from the flaming poop, though. \n\n",
"Thanks for volunteering. I took a look at how America has never once taken care of it’s veterans when I left that recruiter’s office and I never went back!",
"My sleep apnea began in 2006 halfway through my first deployment, as well as others in my unit. Along with acid reflux and esophageal problems. \n\nOutside of obesity, the main reasons for sleep apnea are:\n\nMenopause\nEnlarged neck\nDeviated septum\nExtreme overbite\n\nWhen many of us began having trouble breathing, we where (and many still are) above average in fitness level and within weight standards. Things such as an extreme overbite would preclude one from service. Something like menopause would cause your age to preclude you.\n\nSome of the things burning in these pits, which I personally slept 15-20 yards from, include:\n\nBody parts\nDead animals\nLithium batteries \nPaint\nElectronics\nPlastics\nFeces\nUrine\n\nThis was usually burn with two-stoke or diesel fuel.\n\nThe percentage of young (25-35) year old veterans that have lung issues is massively disproportionate to the rest of the population.\n\nThe Veterans are so concerned about the long term effects of burn pits, it’s suggested by the VFV to the Purple Heart Foundation to register on the burn pit registry here:\n\nhttps://veteran.mobilehealth.va.gov/AHBurnPitRegistry/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n",

"Thanks for the additional information. I hope you don't suffer additional troubles in the long run.",
"No plumbing or trash service in Iraq. So let’s break it down, just the poop alone, no extra trash.\n\nI lived with 45 other people in a house. Average weight was about 175. The human body produces about 1 ounce of feces per 12 lbs, per day. That would be slightly over 1lbs per day per person. Lets just make it 1lbs. That’s 45lbs of poo, per day on average. That’s 1260lbs per month. \n\nWe can’t bury that much poop every month, safely (water run off to the locals and wildlife) without heavy equipment. We can’t afford to just have a marine sitting at the home base, literally shoveling shit all day. \n\nSo we dig a 15” deep 20 foot wide while with small shovels, throw are poop in there and burn it two times a day.\n\nI guess it was that or we all die of dysentery eventually? The military doesn’t think things through a lot.",
"Me either man. I know a few guys who have died from brain tumors in the past few years. The only thing they had in common where burn pits. No real clue what I was breathing for years.",
"There is a specific type of worm or grub that's used to eat human shit, I think it's in the Middle East, and I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head.\n\nYou dig a big hole in the ground and cover it, or use a tank to store the shit, but you don't put any chemicals in it, you just seed it with the worms. The worms rapidly multiply, consume all the shit, and when the shit is gone they start eating each other, so in the end you have no shit and one big super worm. \n\nAdditionally, shit can be very useful. For example, if you have a container let's say a barrel that's been contaminated by oil, and you fill it up with shit and come back a year or two later, the bacteria in the shit actually consumes the oil and modifies it so it's no longer toxic, to the point that the barrel becomes safe for drinking water again. Also, fertilizer. \n\nIt just seems as if there must be some better ways to deal with the problem of human shit than lighting it on fire. I can totally see how it makes sense to the military though, I mean obviously environmental concerns aren't at the top of the list, but, you are paying for that with quality of life now. I'd be pretty fucking pissed at the lack of long term thinking, 50 gallon plastic barrels don't cost much at all, at the very least you could just close it up and leave it there, and in a year it's fertilizer.",

"This is true! \n\nIt's also true that you're burning your soldiers lungs, and I would imagine that healthcare for that is expensive. I guess it doesn't matter, if you don't fund the healthcare, and it's not your lungs",

"Iraq homes in the Al Anbar Provence (wealthy ones at least) where mostly built around the time of the Iran/Iraq war. This meant that many homes had Walls many feet thick of pure concrete reenforced with rebar. In addition, these homes usually had an outer wall(think a gated home in the US only on a 1/4 acre rather than 15).\n\nWe would kick the family living there out, pay them a couple thousand (50kish) and set up shop in the middle of the neighborhood. Once we left the walls, of if there was a break in the wall (from and explosion or something) we would be shot at. Lost 2 friends and another lost part of his hand that way. \n\nSo, we had to do 100% of human maintainer inside the compound. Water bottle showers, work out, free time to read or watch that ONE dvd of one tree hill, call home, or yes personal sexy time.\n\n\n\n",
"Well thank you then, my bad",
"A big question is your REM cycle. The way it was explained to me ( I’m an expert by no means) is that this is almost like a defragging period you mind used to organize all the info you learned over the past 24-48 hours. Without a solid period of REM sleep, over long periods of time, it’s almost impossible to properly remember short term memory things like appointments and work schedules. If it’s bad enough, you can lose days.",

"Hey bud, if you think everyone who served thought Iraq and Afghanistan was a good idea, you should talk to more vets. Might be a cool experience. Your thoughts are pretty common amount Veterans.",
"Official propaganda would paint the opposite picture. Vets need to speak out you know. Otherwise bs propaganda wins.",
"So say literally what I said to you a moment ago? ",
"I meant to say that if vets take this position on these wars then that needs to be a national level default knowledge in people's minds. People simply don't know. Propaganda is winning. Vets need to make sure their position is known and it needs to be louder than propaganda. ",
"Well I hear yea. Hopefully you can start doing some research on active groups and get involved yourself. I know the vet community would love to have you.\n\nI suggest starting here:\n\nhttp://www.ivaw.org",
"Did all the non-nco's in your unit go awol? Since when do Corporals pull shit burn duty?",
"Since everyone on the compound had to pull their weight?",
"Any other resources (especially good-quality discussion forums, but anything publicly accessible) you suggest? Lots of BS on the internet. The Veterans subreddit has been useful. I encounter a lot of Vets in the course of my work and talking to them has been absolutely eye-opening. Would love to learn more about what Vets really think.",
"Honestly, it’s tough finding a vet group that isn’t based on what they feel are the opinions of ALL vets as a whole. As a vet, it’s pretty annoying. Your best bet is to keep an open mind and realize that all veterans are each individuals when interacting or asking questions. \n\nThe media space, specifically social media, is a platform I would steer away from for information. Usually that’s just an opinion of ONE veteran on matters that don’t really have to do with Veterans IE:Non-veteran Healthcare, gun control, immigration, the US budget, etc. The “veteran” soap box is big and used for manipulation of many issues.\n\nIf you hear phrases like “snowflake”, “Trumpers” or any stuff like that, it’s propaganda or someone not open to discussion. They are probably throwing their veteran status into a discussion where it has no merit, but they think earns them points for some reason. It’s not their fault they believe that. \n\nThink about any entry level psychology class you went to. Remember that kid who thought every single disorder you heard about could be verified or explained away by their personal experience? Remember how you just eye rolled hard AF when their hand went up? Yep, that happens to military folks too. Especially if their service caused trauma. If you discount their experience, many feel like you’re attacking the trauma they lived through. You’re clearly not discounting the trauma, but the application of that trauma to the current discussion. You can be 100% correct to call out the lack of causation, but having your trauma discounted is a compelling feeling. Many get defensive and resort to thinking you HATE all military service now. Its an easy out to feel victimized.It’s not true, but that’s what they believe.\n\nIt’s easy after seeing a video or having a not so pleasant interaction with a veteran to lump us all together. Just remember that you meet a veteran, who happens to be a dickhead. The experiences, thoughts, and feelings of Veterans are just as diverse as any other group of people.\n\nI’ll at the VA right now, oddly enough, so I don’t have the links on hand.Ill update the thread later with some groups I think you would like to interact and learn with.\n\nEdit:Some spelling and structure",
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! Sure -- whenever you get a chance (no rush) that would be very interesting. There's just so much out there it gets overwhelming. Input from a vet is very useful.",
"Yes, their has been a lot of progress on burn pits. Just recently this happened.\n\nhttps://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/02/15/burn-pits-downrange-caused-lung-disease-in-service-members-court-rules/\n\nIf your having respiratory trouble, I highly recommend making sure you’re on the burn pit registry and talking to your local VA.
