Honestly I wouldn't even bother saying it's an annotated Bible, as long as it's pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it's the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using "the right" translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I've made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children's adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases (and the people not following court orders) and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

Military personnel taking time out of their taxpayer-funded training exercise to get some social media material.

As former enlisted, an argument could be made they were AWOL. They were not in their designated place at their designated time, and did not have permission to do the thing they did.

"hmm, I'm bored. Oh look here's some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don't like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd."

You can just buy keys.

I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.

I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.

We made it constitutionally protected via the 13th Ammendment. It's bullshit, and one of the many reasons, IMO, why minorities (especially black people) are still disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.

And China is enslaving people currently.

I mean, the post is about the UK and we're bringing up other countries for no reason, right?

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It's a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don't need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

I would have said "thanks for confirming with tons of long term ecological damage what you could have done in your head in 3 minutes, or checked on the built in calculator of whatever device you're using and been done in less time than it took me to write this message that, while petty, I feel is necessary to mock the use of chatgpt."

I uh.... Don't get along with dumb neighbors.

It's called "executive dysfunction" and it doesn't make you lazy.

 

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
