Just because you’re too stupid to understand how something works doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Doubt you know how a car engine works either, yet there are a whole lot of cars out there.

That’s Leviticus.

Leviticus is Old Testament. If you actually read the Bible and follow its teachings, a Christian is not supposed to be following the Old Testament. That’s why it’s the “old” testament and now there’s a New Testament that is supposed to be followed instead of “Old Testament 2: zombie boogaloo”. The Old Testament is there for context. The whole idea of the New Testament is god came down to look upon his world as one of his creations, went “this shit’s kinda fucked” and started handing out new rules to make the place a little less fucked. It’s a real shame that most Christians haven’t read the Bible and depend on old guys in strange buildings to tell them what a book says, world would probably be a lot cooler if these people could be bothered to fucking read.

“Love one another” is not a complicated line full of subtext and what-ifs. You don’t need an old dude at the front of a crowd to tell you what it means, unfortunately there’s very few actually good Christians out there so now we’re here.

Anywhere, here’s a few great lines to throw at shitty people who use the Bible as cover for being bastards:

1 Timothy 2:12

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

This one was particularly good at convincing my Bible thumping aunt to leave me alone when I told her I was bisexual and an athiest. She started lecturing Bible verses at me and I hit her with Ye Olde “Shut up bitch”

Mathew 6:1-34

_Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. _

“If we don’t let you leave you might forget you were mad at us and keep giving us money”

Ask the US military how effective the tanks were in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam.

You know, the last three wars the US has been in and totally not lost.

Yorkies

My man is so desperate for flavor he’s eating the neighbor’s dog. Blink twice if you need help.

Modern weapons notoriously good at killing.

You telling me those things could take out predator drones too?

3, take it or leave it

In that universe, humans also have FTL travel and colonies on hundreds of planets, yet have mysteriously lost the arcane technology known as “email” and require everything to be done in person.

Also most of the colonies are either one family living alone on a distant space rock, or abandoned military outposts full of an inexplicable amount of space pirates, and somehow the two rarely interact.

And humans didn’t destroy earth with climate change, instead the FTL drives they invented blew away the atmosphere… somehow. Yet this is a secret protected by big engine or some shit, because every other habitable planet still lets everyone use their FTL drives near the planet anyway.

God that game sucks.

All MBAs and CEOs are like puppies chasing their own tails.

They want the growth because number go up good. They’ll do anything for number go up. And when number go up, they get the good and then they need to focus on next number go up.

They have no long term plan other than number go up. For the next few quarters, they can slap AI on anything and number go up. What happens if AI takes all the non manual labor jobs? Or if it turns out AI is useless and they wasted billions on snake oil? They don’t know, cause they were thinking about number go up right now, not number go up later.

Our economy is a farce.

My favorite to poke at is treating anything with a blade on it like it’s a deadly weapon with no other purpose.

Can’t have a locking pocket knife.

There was a group that wanted to ban pointed kitchen knives.

Had a dude tell me he doesn’t carry an axe or saw when camping because it “might scare passersby”

Photos of police “hauls” that show screw drivers and hammers as “deadly weapons that don’t belong on the streets”

So it’s at least 4 jokes.

As long as you make it past immigration and customs at the airport.

Accessibility to a service is just as important as continuity of service.

Well if you accelerate over the course of 1 second, you’d experience 30,591,067 g’s of acceleration.

Now for some reason NASA doesn’t have that figure on a time of useful consciousness chart, but I think I could do it

They ask me for my receipt so I just hand it to them and keep walking.

They asked for my receipt, not to stop.

Appreciate it, been a minute since physics class

I would like to introduce you to the concept for kinetic energy. Force=Mass*Acceleration

A very heavy object moving at slow speeds can easily have the same energy or more as a lighter object going moderately fast.

Forklift accidents also typically involve unsecured loads rather than just a collision between two objects. The collision is often an instigating factor that causes a poorly secured loads to fall and injure either the driver or a passerby.

Immediate and harsh criticism.

20 years?

You know boomers are already 70+ right? In 20 years they’ll all mostly be dead anyway and their wealth sucked up by medical debt and end of life care services.

For a central air split system?

Cause that’s what most American homes have.

It doesn’t matter if the refrigerant is banned.

A properly installed system is hermetically sealed. All the refrigerant it will ever need was put in the day it was installed.

I still regularly service 20+ year old R22 systems that are still trucking along just fine. And just because a refrigerant is banned doesn’t mean you cannot get it. I just bought a new tank of R-22 a few weeks ago. It was ridiculously expensive because they don’t make it anymore, but it’s perfectly legal to buy. And there are drop in replacements if a system does get damaged and develops a leak.

A week ago I retrofitted my neighbors R22 unit to 407C because the lawn guys hit the suction line with an edger. Cost my neighbor a thousand dollars to do it, but still cheaper than a new unit. He plans on selling the house in 5 years, so the electricity savings from a new unit don’t interest him, and his current unit is perfectly serviceable.

Most of these companies that say you “need” a new unit, are just out to make a buck. Unless the unit is physically destroyed or you plan to keep the house for 20+ years for the energy savings, there is little reason to get a new unit. Don’t get scammed.
