not to mock you (I have friends who will likely understand where you are coming from), but now I want to make a meme where we reduce common Christian phrases and terminology with technical speak.
Wait, I thought “offer it up” was referring to “cast your cares on him” or “bring it to God” ie to pray about something and trust God rather than freak out
Nope! Of course offering up a prayer means something different, but the response to suffering coined “offer it up” is referring to offering up our suffering as a sacrifice to God, either for His Glory or for a specific intention. When Christ died He redeemed suffering and now our suffering, when offered to God, actually has power. For instance, when we fast and pray, our prayer is more powerful than without fasting. So too is prayer during suffering offered to God. I have chronic pain, and frequently offer it up for whatever is on my heart – “Lord, I offer up this pain for the conversion of my family and for the souls in purgatory.”
I didn’t know Mr. T pityed fool’s that weren’t woke, but that’s awesome. #respect
“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself:“What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“
-Mr. T on the subject of his name
Here’s another amusing quote from an episode of TV he did where he played himself.
In the episode, he explains his name as “First name: Mister; middle name: period; last name T.”
Moves by truck, train or boat. Ridiculously common. And see those holes on the bottom? Mobile by forklift. Also, HEAVY, even when empty they’re in the tons. If you had some warning you could string these things end to end for miles and human bodies can’t move them. Plus they’re nice and wide so you can comfortably walk on top of them for patrols.
“But we don’t have easy ways to kill them!”
Put the shotgun down you fucking idiot.
No tires to pop. Heavy and slow but inevitable. Climbing required to enter and thus, relatively zombie proof, especially if you spend like an hour to protect the glass.
A lot of large farming equipment can destroy cars.
Want to guess what it’d do to a decaying human body? It’s not pretty.
Now I know what you’re thinking. Merely flattening them with common construction equipment or farming gear isn’t enough.
How about a
tree trimmer that can mulch a tree top to bottom in nothing flat?
OM NOM NOM NOM.
“But we need ways to move a lot of people that zombies can’t stop!”
BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER. Deer don’t have a chance and neither does a zombie.
“But that’s not good enough!”
NOW it’s time to call our friend the military because this ride stops for no one.
Do I need to keep going or is it clear the movies are bullshit yet? Seriously a dozen prepared people with heavy equipment licenses could clear an entire street of zombies AND powerwash it after.
Country folk can survive
Dude stack those connexes up and you got a sweet home. Lived and worked outta one for a year.
Hey, remember how everyone conviently forgot about how American journalists covered up human rights abuses under Stalin, colluded to help Fidel Castro get into power by lying to the American public about him being an anti-Communist freedom fighter, and spread propaganda to influence the American public in favor of invading Iraq?
People are acting like journalists are dishonest now, but ho boy.
The “post-truth era” histrionics from media organizations in 2016/17 was really funny considering their track record since the beginning.
You didn’t even go back to the 19th Century when yellow journalism was rampant
In the early 1790′s, a few politicians basically had their own newspapers.
Gazette of the United States was the Federalist paper (lol) was Hamilton’s new town square where he could cry out about whatever he was upset about that day. (Even Adams published his last unfinished but awesome political theory thoughts in it.)
National Gazette was written by Philip Freneau because Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wanted a Democratic-Republican partisan paper that could directly counter Gazette of the US.
You realize that’s what this avocado farmer is doing, right? He’s taking advantage of migrant workers to pay them well below minimum wage and it’s kind of fucked up how many people advocate for these kinds of businesses.
No, seriously, why are democrats all okay with immigrants scrubbing their toilets, mowing their lawns and wiping their asses for chump change like it’s a good thing?
I thought we had a party switch in the 60s but evidently some of y’all are still into owning slaves.
Why do liberals think this is a valid argument? Racism is a valid argument.
Elitism. They are the party of elitism. It’s what drives every single plank on their political platform.
