@sapphichazard @dcjohnson “Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Saturday he is seeking the pardon of an Uber driver…”
That fact is stated in the first sentence of the the article we’re discussing.

@dcjohnson That's not even close to what I took from the article. A white protester brandished an AK-47 at an on-duty Uber driver. Threatening someone with their life changes a nonviolent protest to a violent one. The Uber driver shot and killed the protester. Nothing wrong with bringing a firearm to a protest, but you had better be trained in its handling. Brandishing it for any reason other than defense of life is illegal and risky. Unless the protester was trapped in a narrow alley with the vehicle, it’s hard to see his actions as appropriate. I took away that the governor believes that self defense is important and shouldn’t be punished. Is there any evidence that the driver was on some vendetta against the protesters?

One lesson that I think future generations will take away from our time is the danger of complexity. All of our systems, and even our schedules, are too complex. Complexity leads to vulnerabilities, blind spots, and it benefits evil. Con-artists will over-complicate a scenario to fool people. Jesus said, "let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one." Covid19 was a pretty mild disruption and look at what it did to the supply chain. No one is concerned about all this complexity and it will cost millions of lives WHEN the system hangs. Simplify your lives, focus on your needs and how you will see to them while things are convenient. Modern society is such a blessing, but it is quite fragile. God gave Joseph a warning and 7 good years to prepare for the famine of his time. Do you think we have that much time before something big breaks?

@atyh Still mentally prepped for Epstein didn't kill himself.

@rbreich Nothing wrong with free trips, I just doubt any actuality are.

Heidi’s latest catch phrase:
“Don’t worry, be Heidi.”

@acnewberry As much we would like to believe that we can absolutely shape and mold our children, it really is wishful thinking. The best we can do is try to be healthy ourselves and most importantly PRAY for them in this fallen world. Glad this person was stopped and hope they turn things around.

@SarahAnneDipity @jamesp Curious to know how it goes and wish you luck. Cinnamon on Linux Mint is IMO the easiest out of the box distro for most people.

I think I'm going to make a collection of bedtime stories for Heidi with ChatGPT.

@Big_Diggity I agree. Now that you mention it, I definitely have switched to Yeshua in prayer. Not sure when that happened. Jeeeesus seems pretty grating, maybe to Him as well. “Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It does seem weird to translate a name.

Messing with ChatGPT last night lol.

@dajb Love that show and remember the episode!

Announcing a new youth minister this morning!

I have to admit that I really enjoy reading the Expanse books by James S. A. Corey. A lot of authors can be irritating at times or only good at certain kinds of stories, but Corey(a pen name for two guys) seems like he could write well in many genres. You care about the characters and many of the themes echo current events like good sci-fi ought to do.
