I don't get this reference

Friend, I explicitly say i don't agree at the beginning of the next paragraph.

I understand a person feeling that killing a person is at odds with their hippocratic oath. I understand a person feeling that killing a person in any situation is a sin.

I don't personally agree, but I see where they are coming from.

and there are some harms that are much worse than death.

Friend, I agree, but they think they are sending patients to hell by killing them before they convert.

I think the argument is that they don't provide that service.

[Some of] These organizations pre-date the legality of the services they are not offering.

I understand a person feeling that killing a person is at odds with their hippocratic oath. I understand a person feeling that killing a person in any situation is a sin.

I don't personally agree, but I see where they are coming from. Doctors shouldn't be obligated to kill patients.

That said: organizations don't have religious beliefs, people do. If there are doctors at these hospitals that are merciful and compassionate people that feel medical assistance in dying is appropriate for a patient, then they should be able to provide that service to the patient, regardless of which hospital they are in.

People shouldn't have to consider which hospital to go to to get appropriate care.

I have a buddy with adhd and he's also a musician.

He forgot he had to make a music video.

Not like he really ought to make one to market himself. He is contractually obligated to make a music video and he forgot.... well he forgot until it was just barely possible if everything went smoothly and he ran himself ragged.

For a person to be in the position depicted the word would have had to be "sa" which I don't believe is a word. But you can play words that aren't words in Scrabble as long as no one challenges you. But it's also an incredibly bad choice of a word, setting up an opponent for a triple like that.

There's one before that too:

Workers: well at least prices will go down in aggregate, so our dollars will be worth more due to deflation

Or stronger notions of what body types are compatible with the gender role they perceive.

Edited to clarify it's what they perceive as their gender role. Ie the sexist notion that "it's the duty of a husband to be strong, and the duty of a wife to be dainty"

On food, write the expiration date with a big magic marker as a reminder to use them.

If it's something from the freezer(and the expiry is now useless) write the date you thawed/ opened it.

If you live with someone else (who may need to open the door) put it (or a reminder) in (or on) your shoes.

A lot of kids are going to be begging for smart watches for Christmas I'd wager. I bet we'll see a surge of marketing for them. Probably emphasizing some sort of tracking/ safety feature to help kids convince their parents it's a perfect gift.

Parents might make them swear up and down not to use them in class, but it's going to be tough.

Oh I saw something in the globe yesterday about this. It's because the corporations themselves pay income tax, which is essentially reducing the capital gain at the source. The numbers don't seem to add up to me but I think I'd need an accountant to explain it.

This was anti sinovac because the Chinese vaccine wouldn't have chips in it, pentagon wanted Phillipines to get American vaccines with mind control chips.....

Not my belief but pretty easy to see how they'd deal with it.

Maybe the thought is that they were already taxed on the capital when they earned it?

Not very compelling but it's the only other reason I can think of.

Also, if it's a family investment like a husband and wife or something then they each get a 250,000 exclusion.

I wouldn't say they closed it. They narrowed it.

I used median household income to account for the fact that not every person in a household is earning. I wasn't confident that median individual earnings would include people that aren't earning.

Re: popular support for the war amongst Ukrainians in Ukraine: yeah we can't really know, and of course they can't have an election.

Re: zelensky's attitude: I do think that the 'never surrender' approach is actually a very useful negotiation tactic and I don't know how you'd get people to fight at all if you tell them their just fighting for slightly better terms in a treaty...

Yeah I had to replace my phone's screen and the digitizer has never been the same. I've corrected it to something sensible, I'm not sure what my original word choice was though.

So if Mark (believed to be the oldest Gospel IIRC) was like 20 when Jesus died, and then ~100 years later his story was written down. He was writing it down when he was 120? Seems more likely that Mark's 3rd generation students wrote it down after they realized that nobody had even second hand accounts of what had happened. Right? Mark had a mixture of first hand (things he saw) and second hand (things he heard about from people that saw them) accounts, his direct pupils had second & third hand accounts (things Mark told them, and they learned through correspondence with other Christian witnesses), but after 100 years those guys are dying too.

How do they compile all the teachings they've received? How much of what they were taught was Mark and how much was Jesus?

It seems like not a good way to get the message out....

Jesus died so that whosoever believeth in him shall not die but shall have ever lasting life... but don't worry about like writing any of this down or anything for like 100 years. What does it mean to believe in him? I think that's clear enough, we don't need to elaborate.
