Actions speak louder than words, and all the shows follow is a script. Reality is much more interesting than anything Netflix or Amazon can show us.

Looks like the EU and China will benefit. So will my home country, Canada. No more brain drain to a Third World country.

That’s the trick. Don’t work through lunch. Leave the building if it’s unpaid.

Yeah, I’m aware of these. I was speaking of the big boxes, not the ones like this.

I just hope that OP doesn’t go down the same ruinous path that I did. Compared to where I was in my fifteen year journey with Alcohol Use Disorder, I was at about year four. Where I would drink in order to relax and be able to socialize with others.

An over reliance on a substance to ease a social situation (no matter the reason), is a potential crossroads that can lead further down the path of abusing said substance.

Yes, that’s not necessarily bad in and of itself. But there’s a difference between having one or two glasses and consuming half a box. I’m just wondering where you’re at.

Generally speaking, when I’ve seen someone speak about a box of wine, it’s the 3L one, not the smaller ones.

When did you buy it, and how long ago? I’m asking, because I’m seeing my old patterns for forcing social interaction.

A box of wine is a large amount. Do you drink in order to be able to socialize in all ways?

Given the fact that they said they need the equivalent of FOUR bottles of wine to have an uncomfortable conversation, it’s a red flag.

You’re right, many people can consume things in moderation, but when you see warning signs like that, warning them isn’t a form of pearl clutching so much as “dude, be careful.”

This is how you become an alcoholic.

Books are where it’s at!

Edit: Why are you downvoting me? Do you hate books?

The Democrats won’t do jack. Look at their current lack of action.

Excellent, I can be happy to have my faith, and you can be happy without having it. That’s totally fine. I just hope that you enjoy the rest of your night!

Have you ever considered that the faith has been misinterpreted in order to serve their temporal needs? Therefore, the way they are spreading it is wrong? Aka. all that colonizing crap and the ways of Empire?

Why represent the lack of a God as something to aspire for? If it’s all headcanon, then what does it matter what I believe, as long as I’m not forcing it down your throat, which I’m not. I’m merely having a conversation about it, just like you are with me.

I’m not pandering, I just think that instead of beating you over the head with something you don’t want to hear, I should be more concerned with actually attempting to become a good person and act with kindness towards others.

Better to become the model set by Jesus. You know, like in Matthew 25:35-40:

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

THAT is how I should preach, because actions speak a heck of a lot louder than words.

I feel it’s not so much the spreading of the Word, it’s more HOW they do it. Live like Jesus wants us to (aka. Love your neighbour as yourself), and the people will want to follow, at least some. Lead by example, rather than beat them to death like a chimpanzee with a stick.
