Thank you for the explanation.

I did notice that they said HDMI/DP but didn’t really put two and two together to understand that it was for each port. Makes more sense now.

Also didn’t know what the starship/Matisse was either.

Thank you, that helped.

As much as I feel churches should be taxed regardless, I could go along with stricter enforcement of the non-taxable status if it were unbiased and actually enforced regularly. I wholeheartedly agree with you on having that enforcement applied to all sides.

We often see how rules and regulations are easily abused, and the amount of money to buy someone has been shown to be relatively low so actual enforcement is questionable at best. Were it not though, and we were seeing verifiable (transparent) progress on actual enforcement, I would be ok with that status being maintained.

Not that my single opinion matters, but things can work when done correctly and I believe in the right of individual people to practice their own religion as long as those beliefs stay contained within their circles and do not have any influence in policies, politics, communities outside of their own personal choices. Though that is an extremely difficult task to accomplish. People have jobs, and lives, some of which happen to be in influential positions and their choices can and likely are influenced by their personal beliefs related to their religion.

We end up in this conundrum where someone else’s beliefs are imposed upon the masses. To that point, you could also say, well non-religious voices also influence choices that are imposed on people as well, but generally these choices are more about being less restrictive to access to things like medical care or abortions or whatever other myriad of things there are that get voted on. So it’s kind of a double edged sword, but the religious choices are often more restrictive to people’s rights.

The end result often being, we don’t like this thing so we are going to take away your ability to do it, read about it, etc. So no progress is made. This also coupled with rampant corruption and the use of religion by corrupt individuals to reduce education and control the masses keeps leading us down the road we are on, and until we have another revolution or the government is expelled en masse and rebuilt with a younger, educated, less corrupt (hopeful wishing) generation, then we will never make any strong and lasting changes that would serve to help everyone rather than restrict their rights.

It would be wonderful if we lived in a world where people could have their beliefs but mind their own business when it came to other people’s choices.

Thanks for responding and have a great day!

You make the comment “the poor should be taken care of through taxation”. How do you feel about churches being taxed?

I am not religious at all, but I do know a pastor who is very kind, and have talked with him quite a bit. While he believes in God and the Bible etc, he is also respectful and understanding of the times. He believes in abortion, and takes criticism in stride without trying to make stuff up when responding. If he doesn’t know, he will admit as much.

I called out his entire church group in front of him for being hypocrites (I had/have some minimal involvement with them due to my relationship) when they openly criticized another religion and started trash talking them because an extremist did a suicide bombing. They immediately started trying to backpedal and make excuses for what they were saying. There were several other very shitty things a few of them did over a period of several months so I started pointing everything out. They all got silent and the pastor stepped in to appreciate in a manner of words what I said, and told them that kind of response to an event no matter how bad it was, was inappropriate and not representative of an entire group of people.

Ok, so sorry for the back story but there is a reason. Pretty much every church I have been a part of (I grew up in the Bible belt and had religion shoved down my throat growing up) I have seen nothing but hypocrites. One single pastor that I have met, in my entire life, I feel would not complain if churches started getting taxed.

So what is your take on churches getting taxed?

Quick search because I’m too lazy to find the original article I read.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/unitedhealthcare-ceo-shooting-latest-nypd-detectives-follow-leads/story?id=116567753

This has been known since the day after (likely the day of) the shooting.

I believe they are talking about the bus from ATL to NYC.

I mean, Greyhound lists it as something that they use to let you on the bus without a ticket.

https://www.greyhound.com/help-and-info/tips-and-faqs

It’s the second and third entry under the “Your Tickets” section.

Even IF they didn’t ask for it and it wasn’t needed, he could used the same name to get a bus ticket that his fake ID showed.

Realistically not having a physical ticket is one less thing to worry about losing that could have fingerprints on it.

He was supposedly using a fake ID, so they trace the fake ID back to the bus tickets…

Doesn’t mean they would know who he was.

Paulette, a practising physical therapist with over 20 years of experience, is now left to console their two sons. The family resides in a £1.2 million ($1.5 million) home in Maple Grove, Minnesota. Describing her husband as a loving father and dedicated professional, she said, “Brian was a good man who cared deeply about his work and our family.”

Let’s go cry in our million dollar home for our husband/father who helped millions of people get denied coverage and potentially caused the deaths of many.

Nobody cares except the rich, I hope they are all having nightmares and living in fear. The world is better off with less CEOs and investors that do nothing but tactically find ways to extract money from the poor and middle class (what semblance of it there is left) people.

I’ve had that same issue before.

Thank you for fixing it!

Commas, please.

That makes more sense.

That is more defined of an answer. It would be great to see a reliable method of being able to share games with other users.

Giveaways should not be banned.

It could help to bring more people to your community.

It would be better to have a very simple couple of rules.

No posting the codes outright. Simple mechanic for giving the code out like guess the number, or first to comment. State the source (Steam, GOG, Epic)

Like literally all you need, and yes I’m salty because I was literally just trying to give away a game because I have a code for something that is already in my library.

Don’t ban things that are beneficial to others. “We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.” is not a valid enough reason to ban giveaways. Someone is offering something up, if they don’t commit, then ban them, not the practice of generosity.

Edit: added a comma

They should, but they are in on the take so they won’t.

I figured it out.

I was already headed the right direction by using something like this…

<button text=“Hold Enter” ontap=“enterhold” ondoubletap=“enterrelease” />

But for whatever reason it seems to ignore a double tap to release it, maybe I’m just too slow on tapping lol. I changed it to onhold=“enterrelease” and it works like intended.
