There did not yet exist channels of psyop slop that could pay MS to give them access to their users at their most vulnerable or it would have been in Vista.
Punched my first nazi at a punk show back in the day as well.
That’s the thing about fighting fascism...
non sequitur
When the original authors of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John wrote their words in the original Greek, they were not imagining blindness to be a metaphor for clinical depression. Or even for feeling sad, if that is what you mean. While many people understand these passages as referring to literal blindness, blindness is often used as a metaphor in the Bible, for example for ignorance, pride, deception, and unbelief. You can attempt to take it as a metaphor for the modern concept of depression (which of course they did not even possess) but to do so, you are clearly reading into the text. And it's not clear how the message of Jesus is meant to cure your depression, the way it can presumably cure you of spiritual ignorance, unbelief, etc.
I'm trying to understand if you are advocating reading into the text intentionally, but it's not even clear if you're aware and accept you're doing that at all.
and also, it's the flesh of a vulnerable individual
The vast majority of calories cattle consume in the USA are from agriculture.
I'm going to claim brain fart. I'm horrified to find I had thought that it was about, like, modern Israel. Dumb.
OTOH, it sounds like you are suggesting taking interpretations like that; reading things into the text and adopting the symbols for our own purposes. Blindness wasn't a metaphor for depression. You have to insert that as a modern reader. The text doesn't fully support it and you have to creatively interpret at times. I don't think that's very satisfying.
Genuinely, that's not how literary criticism works.
Yes, yes. Very clever. Not contributing but don't you look smart.
I mostly don't like popular movies and it has never and probably will never strike me as my fault.
No, but it means you're probably not really a friend anymore. If you're good with that, everything's jake.
I'm saying that M$ was always just as bad as the times demanded/allowed.
