After Saul of Tarsus had his experience in the desert, nobody wanted to have anything to do with him, and kept him at distance.

it took time for them to hear enough about him to decide he was actually safe to interact with.

same here. maybe she woke up, maybe not. we'll see...

Now I'll have the "I Believe in You" song stuck in my mind off hours 😂

It's rare anyone I talk to knows anything about the (now old) musicals...

this was well recognized by people my mom's age... a lot of media (movies, TV shows, books) incorporated the dynamic of entitled by unimpressive men and the women who actually did the work.

it more or less faded to background in media sometime in the late 60s.

5th place as a sophmore, 1st place as a senior. That's just natural progression.

In high school, I went from top 5 JV performer to top 5 varsity performer in my sport... its just normal. (no gender change/same gender).

*technically i left 19 years ago. but the last 5 years before that, 2.5 were abroad and 2.5 in law school (so my life was the books, and the books). so i didn't have a pulse on culture, christian or otherwise. idk who won the Super Bowl those years either :P

when i left the usa, that photo would have caused controversy in 'the church' and he would have probably had to apologize.

that was... 25 years ago*. its almost opposite of how i remember things now... unrecognizable.

fair shot implies that everyone starts on a level playing field, and those who fail deserve it.

pretty Objectivist... (that... is the highest form of scorn i can give ;) ).

i don't think they ever invited a guest over. and i wasn't allowed to have friends in the house or backyard. Frontyard was stones, so not there either.

My brother seems to have somehow learned anyway how to make friends, but I don't think I ever figured it out.. spend all my time alone too.

my parents moved out west about 3 years after marriage cos my adoptive mom wanted to get out from under the nose of family... mostly so she could stop going to synagogue (reform, not orthodox).

as best as i can tell, she never made a friend, and my dad had enough social interaction at work.

reporting gets them fired... propaganda gets them kickbacks...

which do they prefer?

it would be useful. wish it was covered more in school.

in college and working life i covered europe, far east and west africa. i'm not sure i could competently add any additional areas without really having more misunderstanding than understanding...

I usually watch speeches where the winner of the primaries accepts their party nomination. Probably starting when I was a child, although ofc I understood less of it back then.

2016 was... I couldn't force myself. It was such a marked break from anything before...

Wow.

I gave the test when working as an elder care nurse. I took the test during my TBI assessment

Idk which shocks me more: that he actually thought it was an IQ test, or his sycophants and the news media playing along

This isn't the only "emperor no clothes" moment. but it's perhaps the worst
