re: Lawfare: how is this defined, and how can it be (legally) stopped?
Posted by epbart on 4/26/24 at 5:07 pm
[quote]It goes without saying that "lawfare" is a newfound term that is thrown around with varying definitions, given the context [/quote]
Agree
[quote]So can we give a universally agreed-upon definition of "lawfare"?[/quote]
No. It is effectively-- and perhaps technically-- best considered a s...

re: Slovakia PM: Expect The West To Punish Us For Wanting To Stop The War In Ukraine

[quote]They're attacking the organizations themselves surrounded by "globalism" rhetoric. This isn't typically simply a policy disagreement.
They're free to disagree, but when they do, playing the "we are going to be punished" card is just pandering of the lowest rung.[/quote]

re: Liberal/Academic elites using "sort of"
Posted by epbart on 3/8/24 at 5:40 pm
While I'm not in the proximity of academia, I can imagine how this habit could become common in liberal arts classes where professors solicit varied opinions and interpretations.
Your example of the beheading is a little extreme and not good usage... unless the professor was intentionally aiming ...

Thank you, too, brother.
Regarding SM... Yeah, I found it very interesting that his OP showed significant knowledge of the Bible (more than me, to be honest), but that he was skewing things (Elijah, Jesus, the Israelites) to force a point in an inaccurate way. Something seemed off, though I'm not...

[quote]6:16 is actually referencing Exodus 17:2-7, where the Israelites, not far removed from seeing the miracles that God performed in Egypt, began to immediately doubt His existence because they were thirsty.[/quote]

Going back to your opening in this most recent reply:

[quote]It’s not clear to me. In fact I can’t find that anywhere in the scripture. That may be your interpretation but mine is different.[/quote]
I see some in this thread suggesting you're just being a combative arse and will not argue in good faith. Since you replied to my response, I'm going to ...
re: Help me determine some Objective Truth
Posted by epbart on 2/27/24 at 11:37 am
I don't see any discrepancy in the examples of testing God you present. The context makes it clear. If the subject is moving away from God, there is a risk of punishment. If the subject is moving towards God (which requires humility and faith... which is sometimes hard in worldly circumstances), the...

re: When was the last time LSU attempted and recovered an onside kick?
Posted by epbart on 2/15/24 at 1:17 pm
[quote]Sorry, I should have specified “Attempted and Recovered.” That’s my fault.[/quote]
Ahh, ok. As soon as I posted, I reread the OP and thought I misread, then edited my post... but it's always nice to remember the finish to the 2019 game regardless. :cheers:...

Eta: read too fast before replying... I cited a Bama failed attempt, not an LSU attempt

Didn't Bama have to attempt an onside kick in 2019?
If I remember correctly, Bama was trailing by 2 scores, made a TD with 1-2 minutes left, then attempted the onside kick, but LSU recovered and ra...
re: I got 14 kids dying every week in my city (Chicago) so talk to me about that - Kanye

Kanye is not wrong in his point.
He'd be even more right if he could cogently connect the thoughts that:
1) We should focus on fixing our own cities.
and
2) The same people who want to send that money overseas not only don't want to fix our own cities, but have purposefully destroyed ou...

Great, that was my main concern, thank you. Otherwise, I figured most ATX PSUs were pretty interchangeable as long as they came with an adequate # of connectors....
