It's not about removing the requirement of the bar exam, just who decides who can take it

What an extremely worrying incentive structure. Especially if coupled with reduction in regulation. The companies making the food, telling you what to eat, how to feel, how to fix yourself, all behind a convenient subscription you'll never want to never cancel, it's great how it all ties into each other. The billionaires must be so happy.
> Do not trust in a friend; Do not put your confidence in a companion; Guard the doors of your mouth From her who lies in your bosom. For son dishonors father, Daughter rises against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man’s enemies are the men of his own household. Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.
Yikes, got a fun one right away. That seems like rather unhealthy behavior to me. Maybe not really for the younger ones then.
It's related to John 2:23-25. He's not saying you should not have friends or trust anyone. He's saying you should not seek or hope anything from humans that only God can actually provide. It's related to codependence and similar character flaws. I think even atheists would agree that it's not healthy to want the objective approval and validation of inconstant people with imperfect judgment.
Surely not sustenance in the sense of food so I presume it's what we usually call meaning? People might get it from whatever fulfills them. For many it's giving back to the community in some way. It's not something I was told, more something that feels right and would scale well if everyone did it.
What are absolutely objective goals here? Are we talking about what do I want to be true at the end of my life? Staying healthy, looking back when you're old and not regretting a lot, being part of and respected by your community, those things. What would be a goal that God would suggest one works toward in this context. Can you relate that to what you have in mind?
Not having read the bible the words sounds so specific and strong.

I guess you have to read the whole thing to imagine the context in which this won't, even accidentally, be interpreted literally. I'm not judging or anything, genuinely curious, obviously these are historical texts from a certain time in history. That's why I'm so curious about the value people see in reading them over and over again in the current times.
You can almost consider the Bible like a puzzle or riddle, that you have to solve using the entirety of it, as well as historical context, extrabiblical writings, personal life experience, and a humble and pure intent.
It is a collection of works, many of which are not suitable for children. Few people will disagree with this. This is why there are simplified and sanitised reappropriate revellings for kids. On the other hand many of the works in the collection are suitable for those capable of reading it.
Hours after this, dozens of ICE agents stormed a school as kids got out of class.
Let's repeat that: Masked adult men with deadly weapons that would not identify themselves rushed a school as children left with the explicit goal of kidnapping children.
Then, when teachers intervened to protect the children, they physically assaulted and sprayed/gassed them.

That is to say, the point is to be cruel and unusual and, yes, incite panics and rioting.
The teensy-tiniest of specks of light at the end of the tunnel, the other day TFG spouted something about "we HAVE to win the mid-terms", so any Dem election success in those means adults in charge again and maybe also some prison time for [waves hands around] all of this.
I’m not hopeful the US will vote their way out of this. Wealth equality has made the society susceptible to a fascist authority. And it’s getting worse not better. This is just the beginning. Most of all the last weeks and the upcoming “acquisition “ of Greenland will embolden China and Russia to be more aggressive I imagine.
>> Presumably "5 servings of grains a day" assumes no added sugar, otherwise it would say "5 servings of grains and some sugar a day".
Yes, but -
- Unless youre wealthy, it is difficult to get access to good bread. Far too much of the bread normally available has added sugar or similar products.
- Modern science argues even about the non-added sugar portion (the starches) and whether 5 servings of that was even good. Insulin resistance isnt just caused by added sugar, but just excessive starches (of which we were told to have 5 servings!)
I wonder if a US economy would be able to function if people at scale ate more healthily and sustainably. That would mean less of most things and more of vegetables, legumes, greens, all that unsexy stuff that is much less labour and energy intensive.
The second order effects of not having to grow food for our food, and grow food for ourselves in the first place instead are probably too negative.
This is beautiful. I would love there to be a way to show this on a sphere instead of a flat map so I can find out how things might change in the next century with climate change. I haven't quite understood yet what the new shipping routes will enable us to do. I'm assuming this is partly what the whole Greenland thing is about?
