Left-hand side is like saying your left, not mine. You could also say on your left but then again, English has lots of ways to say lots of things.

This is just not true… Tuna fish is the stuff in a can. Tuna filet is a filet of tuna. Tuna is the live or freshly caught fish from the ocean. Anything not actually made of tuna is imitation tuna or tuna flavored or artificial tuna.

It’s not a foreign language in English speaking countries…

Frys electronics is a good bet too they’re a more recent shutdown that might be more relevant than a blockbuster or toys r us

5A? You cannot be compelled to testify against yourself nor can you be compelled to testify to anything that might incriminate you. Even if you are innocent, you cannot be forced to testify.

No the average is much much higher than 10 out of 10 all because of Caleb.

Your mom told me last night that she wishes you would call her more.

Lenses distort features at different focal lengths without any filtering. An extreme example is fish eye lenses on action cameras.

Your source says the same thing I said… The word soccer comes from abbreviating “association”. As in association football.

That’s not true… Soccer is what some of the english called it and that was an abbreviation of association football. It has always been football and for a short time in one place it was soccer in england and then it was football again everywhere. It came to the US as soccer and never changed. But it was always football.

Well God forbid anyone do anything other than the way the British do it. 🙄

Speaking that date format is usually reserved for holidays and special occasions in the US. I.e. 4th of July. You also see that data format written out on things like R.S.V.P invitations to weddings and formal gatherings. Not much else.

Want some help? It’s intuitive to say month date year out loud. So that’s how we write it down too. Today is November 24th 2025 (11/24/25)

Here’s another point about the US date system I quite enjoy, the number go in order of lowest maximum integer to greatest maximum integer. The highest the month can go is 12 which is smaller than 31 which is smaller than theoretically infinite. But that’s probably not why we do it. I just like that thought.

Show don’t tell. If you truly want to make amends for the utter chaos and despicable damage you have directly caused, spend the rest of your term fixing the damage and don’t beg for reelection. Then when you don’t get reelected, start pushing your networked associates to do the same. People will continue to hate your guts but you will have at least made some reparations for the harm you have done to the world.

How other people chose to use the scripture is not within my control. I just wanted to point out the context. I also pointed out in my OP that I am a former member of the church.

It’s funny, it is in fact up for debate which texts are divinely inspired as all the major churches have different canonizations around the world. Lots of crossover obviously, but plenty of questions about what should and shouldn’t be in the Bible.

That’s not at all what that person said. Also I may be wrong but I think that person is making a joke.

I didn’t say the book of Timothy was not Divine Inspiration. I said Divine Inspiration is not God taking over the body of a man to write his thoughts down for us. Instead, Divine Inspiration is more akin to teaching that have God’s stamp of approval.

If you want an interesting topic to search around though, look into canonization of scripture. Churches all around the world have different books that are regarded as canon and divinely inspired. The Bible is not as straightforward as any church would have you believe.

You’re missing my point entirely and focusing on one sentence. What I’m saying is that these letters were alleged to be intended for Timothy from Paul and when taken in context, provide a good few recommendations on how to conduct a ministry.

This specific passage is not a directive to all churches at all times or even to all women in all places. This passage is specific to the area of Ephesus where culturally, people fuck a lot. It’s what they do and they are proud about it. Timothy was sent there to help a church which had struggled with the cultural sexuality and Paul says more or less “Those people are all horny, let’s not put women in front of them and risk tempting them sexually.” It was not to say “all women should hide away and shut up.” Like it might seem outside of the passages context.

The Torah is just the first 5 books of the old testament.

The verse is meant to be taken, as with all things in literature, in context, to be applied to how to conduct a ministry. This passage is to say that if your ministry is in a place that sexualizes women culturally and that is a distraction for your congregation, do not sexualize women in a way that would distract them from your message. It is applicable to people other than Timothy, but the letter alleges to be written for Timothy in Ephesus originally.
