Great article on the bubbles and spheres of influence religions and churches can have on your life.  Yes. It was a long journey. Twelve years ago, I separated from my Promise Keeper husband. He had been violent toward me, but when he turned that on our kids, it was over for me. I found myself strapped financially, and in desperation I went to the benevolence committee at my church and asked for $600 to help pay the bills. This was a huge, successful mega-church, and the benevolence committee was their mechanism for helping members in need. The committee—all men—said they needed to pray about my request, and that regardless I needed to go to counseling about how to be a more godly wife so that I could lead my husband back to Christ through my submissiveness. They said this even though they knew he was physically abusive. Then, after praying, they let me know that Jesus wasn’t keen on them giving me the money. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/05/i-dont-believe-this-anymore-what-its-like-to-e...

So, I had a long well thought out post typed up earlier explaining my position and how I plan to go forward. For some reason Google wouldn't post it. I let the little spinning wheel turn, turn and turn for nearly an hour before finally refreshing the tab and losing everything. Gah! I can't recall the words or how I phrased everything, but the gist was this: 1 - Google changed their UI/UX for the Plus. 2 - In doing so, they messed with Profiles. 3 - Since this is a closed community where potential members have to be approved, the moderation staff generally peruse all the Profiles of potential members weeding out spammers, link dumpers and non motorcycle riders. 4 - The new [lack of] Profiles severely limits how we can determine the validity of Profiles. 5 - I was waiting for Google to sort out Profiles before verifying and admitting the "waiting list." 6 - We can't make them wait forever. 7 - So, We're going to start going through the waiting list and hope ther...

Sheldon Adelson, the chief lessee of of Marco Rubio ( http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/29/marco-rubio-campaign-funding-sheldon-adelson ) bought a couple of newspapers and then turned them into his personal PR outlet. It seems some of his (former) employees took offense to the billionaire's actions and quit their jobs on ethical grounds. Good for them! Originally shared by Andreas Schou So, Sheldon Adelson has been the one driving pseudonymous "articles" about corruption in the organizations suing him for torts and investigating him for crimes. This is unsurprising, given Adelson's past behavior when buying newspapers -- his free daily in Israel, Bibi HaYom -- sorry, Israel HaYom -- has been a money-sink designed to push forward his political ambitions, not a "newspaper" as such. Which is what Las Vegas' paper of record is likely to become relatively shortly.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2015/12/24/reporter-for-connecti...

One of the things that annoyed me the most about the new Star Wars film was it's complete lack of context. Not in the story, not in the dialogue and not in the scrolling fellow script at the start of the film.

Yeah, women pay more even though men's clothing usually takes more fabric. But, maybe women's clothing has more design elements or something. I don't know. Maybe they (the clothing manufacturers and sellers) know women will spend more for the perfect item while most men won't.

The simple fact is, the world is not as controlled as some people would have you believe. Conspiracy theorists would have us believe in a hypercompetent government, hundreds of spinning wheels all acting independent of each other and evil geniuses. No. That doesn't happen in real life. Sorry. There's no Illuminati, no secret cabals, no corporate overlords. There are just people. Plain everyday people who do things for their own reasons that someone else will later interpret as genius level maliciousness. Originally shared by miri dunn This concludes that conspiracy theories are an extreme form of cynicism and caused by feelings of powerlessness. While I agree they are cynical and may arise from a need for agency, I think they really missed the mark.  If you talk to a conspiracy theorist- especially the latest  "false flag" variety (who personally make me sick) you eventually will be told to "WAKE UP!" and stop being a "sheep".

Marco Rubio fears competition. You know, that thing that's supposed to make capitalism work? AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and all the others have carved out little niches of markets among themselves in order to give you and me, the consumer, the lowest quality service possible while charging the highest possible rates without scaring off customers. Some cities have circumvented corporations and installed their own high bandwidth services, case in point, Chattanooga. Rubio doesn't think municipalities should be driving competition against his financial backers. What next? Maybe municipalities shouldn't be in the clean water business?

I remember telling people in the early 2000s that most of our stories of heroism were stories of terrorists overcoming the legitimate government. Star Wars is a perfect example of this. So are Robin Hood and countless others. In the USA we love the Sampson beating Goliath tales. In our war for independence, we were the insurgents, a colonial outpost that fought the largest empire in known history. In Star Wars we root for the terrorists. What's the difference? http://decider.com/2015/12/11/the-radicalization-of-luke-skywalker-a-jedis-path-to-jihad/

First of all, Sam Raimi's Peter Parker was near perfect casting. He was a social outcast, ignored and often maligned. He was Peter Parker. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, though ... Well, he was campy and goofy, everything from early Saturday morning cartoons. On the contrary, Marx Webb's Peter Parker was too Twilight . He wasn't a social outcast, just not a popular kid. He was confident, stood up to bullies and interfered where Peter Parker from the 60s (pre spider bite) wouldn't have gotten involved. I don't think any of us mind a more lighthearted Spider-Man after Marc Webb's version. Like Sam Raimi's version, Spider-Man is a daytime hero, swooping in and saving the day. Webb kept Spider-Man to nights and that's just not our favorite wall crawler. In Civil War I want to see Captain America, with a bleeding Spider-Man in his arms, telling him he's the best of them all. Because he is. He's Spider-Man. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-marvels-s...

I can't remember which Steven Segal movie it was, but Steven's character was driving down the street and another vehicle tosses a box out in front of Steven's car. Segal stops and checks the box only to find a puppy in it. That was someone's plan to get rid of an unwanted dog. Since that movie came out (I must have been between 10 and 15) I've always made it a point to not run over boxes or bags in the road. Which is why #6 is so disheartening. http://jalopnik.com/the-ten-most-fucked-up-things-youve-seen-at-stoplights-1747472131

The Age of Apocalypse is nigh! Let's hope its good. I'm not sure how much Fox and Bryan Singer are going to mess with canon, but it looks like it will be more if a reimagining than a tale taken from the pages of the X-Men books. https://youtu.be/COvnHv42T-A
