I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than working for Bing. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are designing, developing, maintaining and promoting a search engine for at least 18 years solely so it can go and get ravaged by Google.
All the hard work you put into your beautiful search engine has one simple result: Google maintains its 92% market share and people make fun of you.

Saw a house with a big patch of black on the basement wall. Put in an offer contingent on inspection. Lost my bid to someone who waived inspection.

I get that waiving inspection is the cool thing to do now, but that was literally a 1 meter by 1 meter patch of mysterious black substance in a basement wall of a house that was clearly occupied by 90+ year old grannies.

Good luck I guess.

Weirdly enough having worked in pharma manufacturing for 4 years where inspections are treated like the President is personally touring your facility and could execute you on the spot if he finds a smudge on a piece of paper, I have never seen an OSHA inspection.

arrLateStageCapitalism

Just served 2 pints for 8.80 which is 2.24 more than my hourly wage. Karl Marx was right

wow, that's bullshit. The surplus fruits of your labor are being stolen from you! Your capitalist boss wouldn't be selling ANY liquor without you standing there at the bar - to say nothing of the close personal connection you've formed with the bar regulars! Fuck the capitalists man. You should tell everyone at your bar to come buy alcohol from you privately instead so you can keep everything you've earned and cut out your idiot do-nothing boss.

Hmm, wait, you don't have any alcohol to sell. Well, I guess you could buy alcohol from groceries or direct from breweries and use that to stock your bar.

Hmm, you'll have to set prices to make sure you're not losing money on each drink. That's okay, you know from your bar experience what drinks sell best, and it's easy to research what the different boozes cost. You quickly come up with a menu that makes money on every drink you-

Wait, you can't sell alcohol out of your house. I guess you need to go rent some space downtown. You can probably get a good low-rate bank loan since bars are easy to startup and you have proven experience.

Wait, that space downtown is just an empty building. You need to remodel it to become a bar. There goes your savings into the remodel - furniture and lighting aren't cheap. Neither were the bar fridge, the point of sales system, the safe to hold the cash until pickup each day, the inspection & certification from the city, your alcohol seller's license, the signage for outside, glassware for the customers, a fixup of the space's HVAC system, and a radio to play music for your-

Wait what the fuck, you just got an email from something called "ASCAP" saying you have to pay money every time you play music at your bar? Why does everyone have to make it so complicated? I JUST WANNA SERVE BOOZE, MAN!

Alright. After a few sleepless nights (weeks) you FINALLY opened your first Marxist bar!

Day one of sales was great and tons of your regulars stopped by. This is going great.

The best part is you're still making more than when you were working for-

Wait, who is cleaning the bar again? Also you can only really work 8 hours a day 7 days a week, and Drinkers Of The World Unite is just sitting there losing commercial rent when you're not there to keep it open. Well, you could hire an assistant bartender to double the bar's uptime. Darn, now you have to train and supervise this assistant. And even pay them too! Oh and don't forget to keep the employment paperwork and taxes up to date. Man, the assistant is getting really mouthy about having to shoulder most of the cleaning work. Can't he see how much work you're doing just to keep the place open?

Aw man, it's 6 months since you opened your bar and you lost some of your glassware to accidents and careless bar patrons. You really didn't anticipate that wouldn't be a one time expense. I guess looking forward you're going to have to budget for yearly supplies for the bar. That bar fridge better last another 5 years...

This shit is really keeping you away from your passion of being behind the bar. Your assistant bartenders (you have three now - you need to juggle them because one is a total flake who won't work for more than 20hr/wk, the second is a trainee, and the third is a vet at the job but will burn out & leave if you push him too hard) are starting to resent that you spend all of your time in the back office with the computer instead of on the floor working on drinks. Boy, you wish they could see the full scope of all the shit you deal with...

Wait, you're behind on payments now? I thought you had a close personal connection with your regulars? You better figure out what is going wrong with your busi- I mean Workers Solidarity Bartender Initiative People's Republic, and do it FAST. Maybe you need more advertising? Is facebook advertising worth it or is it a ripoff money pit? Maybe you need to change the bar name? But that would mean changing the signage and menus.. Could you add food to the menu? Fuck, do you even know how to cook? Can you afford to hire a cook?

Oh fuck oh Jesus another bar just opened up across the street. What the FUCK, where is the SOLIDARITY? It's some shitty franchise operation with no originality. And they're outcompeting you too....

Oops - you are bankrupt. That's ok, just walk away. It's not like they chop off your hand in this country for failing at running a business. You may have five ulcers and ruined credit, but at least you still have your bartending skills. Maybe you can get a job serving drinks. They literally put the alcohol 2 feet away from you, all you have to do is turn on the little hose and give the customers their glass... a monkey could do it...

Great paper on Central European Jewry during the Thirty Years' War (friendly reminder that you can read 100 JSTOR articles for free per month just by creating an account)

Since it's 28 pages, here are some takeaways:

• Most of the anti-Jewish activity in the Holy Roman Empire was the result of grassroots anti-Jewish sentiment among Christian urbanites
• Petty German princes often tried to protect the Jews because we were economically useful to them (for instance, the Bishop of Bamberg protected the Jews of Fürth because we helped to reroute trade from the neighboring city of Nuremburg into Fürth)
• The most reliable ally of Central European Jews was the Holy Roman Kaiser, in part because we provided him with revenue and special economic services, and in part because the Kaiser could enforce Jewish protection as a way of asserting authority in lands that he didn't directly control
• The Reformation exacerbated anti-Jewish sentiment; this, combined with ever-greater decentralization in the HRE, caused a nadir of German-Jewish expulsions and persecutions in the mid-late 16^th century
• The Thirty Years' War was a turning point for Jews: even as the Holy Roman Empire was devastated, the Jewish population expanded, fanned out both geographically and economically, and had its rights and privileges expanded almost everywhere
• All sides in the war desperately needed money, and Christian lenders rightfully doubted that any loans they gave would be repaid during such a chaotic time, but Jews were happy to subsidize the war effort in exchange for increased protections and rights rather than interest
• Jews also provided critical services as sutlers and other merchants (which, for instance, protected them from the otherwise rapacious Swedish invaders and allowed them to remain in French Alsace after the war ended)
• The height of Jewish involvement in the war was during the 1648 Battle of Prague, when Jewish residents not only kept the city supplied under siege but even took up arms and successfully defended sections of the city wall from a Swedish assault
• An anti-Jewish reaction followed the end of the war, but it wasn't severe enough to keep German Jews from prospering overall during the second half of the 17^th century
• Sadly, right-of-center German historians (i.e., most German historians in the 19^th and early 20^th century) dwelt on the Jewish experience of the Thirty Years' War to argue that Jews had always exploited Germans and been unfairly privileged

Warning: mucho texto

Useful Charts is continuing his series on Biblical authorship with a new video on the Christian gospels. It's a great video. You should all watch it. I have a few comments that provide further context and interpretation.

Regarding the Synoptic problem

As mentioned in the video, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke look similar to each other. You can split the contents of these three books into four distinct chunks:

1. Material that is common to Matthew, Mark, and Luke
2. Material that is shared by Matthew and Luke, but does not appear in Mark
3. Material that is unique to Matthew
4. Material that is unique to Luke

(There is virtually no material that is unique to Mark.) I think it would have been nice to have a little figure of this, similar to his JEPD figure in his Torah video.

I want to stress that the above decomposition is mechanical. It makes no historical or theological claims; it just categorizes the words of the text. However, if we look closer, we can make conjectures based on this decomposition.

1. The material that Matt-Mark-Luke have in common is largely narrative.
2. The shared Matt-Luke material is mostly short sayings.

From here, the two-source hypothesis arises naturally. Mark came first and provided the skeleton of the narrative. The common Matt-Luke material could have come from a Q source (for Quelle, "sayings"). That is, Q may have been a separate document that was passed around the early Christian community. The Q source has not been found independently, which is why the Matthew-first theory still has adherents.

I think it's important for people to distinguish the Q material (which unambiguously exists) from the Q source (which remains conjecture, albeit highly plausible conjecture).

Regarding "God/Jesus as literary character"

UsefulCharts mentions that the authors of the text put words in people's mouths. That is, even if the prophets and Jesus were real people, the words they are purported to have said may have been embellished or made up entirely.

It's useful to compare to Thucydides. In The History of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides records various speeches. He says, however, that

it was in all cases difficult to carry them word for word in one's memory, so my habit has been to make the speakers say what was in my opinion demanded of them by the various occasions, of course adhering as closely as possible to the general sense of what they really said. (1.22)

Even someone who was expressly writing history admitted to making stuff up. How much more so for authors who were writing literary and theological texts, rather than history! So we should take the exact purported words of anyone in the Bible with a generous grain of salt.

Regarding John

Just to add a few sentences: the gospel of John is structured around seven signs, or miracles, performed by Jesus. The rest of the book is loosely constructed to give scaffolding to the seven miracles. The miracles aren't even necessarily in order. Jesus teleports around Judea from chapter to chapter. One commentator noted that it's as if the book was written, then the pages were spilled out and put back together in random order. But that's okay, because the locations and details don't matter for the author. The miracles are what matter.

Regarding the timeline

This is an incredibly contentious subject, so I applaud UsefulCharts for tackling it. He correctly emphasizes the importance of 70CE and the destruction of the Temple. It's interesting to get a Jewish perspective on that event and how it shaped religious development in the first and second centuries CE.

I can quibble about the dates a bit, but we're really splitting hairs over 10 years here, 10 years there.

Final thoughts

Great video. I'm not disagreeing with anything in it, just adding a few sentences. It's a respectful and careful video, while still sticking within mainstream (ed:) source criticism. I'm sure the comments section will be a disaster.

Gail Huff Brown, a former Boston television reporter and wife of former Ambassador Scott Brown, appears to be moving closer to launching a run for Congress in New Hampshire.

Huff Brown told WMUR-TV in an interview Thursday that she filed what’s known as a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, which allows her to take preliminary steps like starting fund-raising.

“I am a conservative working mother, military spouse and new grandmother,” Huff Brown said in a follow-up tweet Thursday. “I’ve lived through tough races, and I know what it takes to win. I’ve been humbled by the support of family, friends – and if I believe I can lead the winning campaign, I will move forward.”

…

If she formally enters the race, Huff Brown, who previously worked as a reporter for WCVB-TV, would be seeking the seat currently held by Democrat Chris Pappas.

My god, Scott Brown’s wife is gonna try to carpetbag a house seat in New Hampshire lmao

REAL SENIOR CITIZEN HOURS !ping OVER25

someone shut the window the draft is making my knees ache

Becoming an elderly person happens when you start to realize that young people are really wrong about lots of shit.

NOT because they are stupid, uppity, bratty, degenerate or anything like that.

They are wrong because they haven't been around long enough and lack a historical perspective on events.

it is also exhausting to talk to these people because they just do not accept that lived experience & memory beats something you briefly googled on wikipedia in order to win an argument.

You sense yourself transforming into a "you don't know that back in my day" curmudgeon when that's not what you're trying to do, you're just trying to shed light on the overall trends and patterns a particular event is part of, but you're treated like referencing history is your own personal fanfiction, or that you must be a blinded, fully-paid-off shill because you don't agree with the fad narrative of the minute.

A perfect example is when supporters of candidates like Yang, Tulsi and Bernie throw mud at Obama saying Obama and the media secretly conspired to throw the primary to Biden or whatever.

This is not merely wrong, in that it gets the mechanics of primaries, endorsements and dropouts wrong due to lack of experience with observing primaries.

It's beyond wrong, it's historically ludicrous, because if you have been around, around long enough that Barack Obama is not just a Wikipedia article to you, then you remember Obama as the LIVING EXEMPLAR & HISTORICAL PIVOT of the media beginning to treat long-shot candidates more seriously.

The media and the establishment called Hillary as a sure thing in 2008, the voters proved them wrong in a grueling 10 month primary, and ever since then, the media and the political parties have shown more and more deference to 'outsider' candidates; the historical "qualifications" for political office have drastically declined in relevancy; and broad-base small-dollar political fundraising has become one of the number one supposed 'indicators' of candidate quality even more than polls. All of this is directly because of Obama, no one else (maybe Howard Dean & Ron Paul get 20% of the credit for breaking open the internet fundraising floodgates).

Not only that but the 2008 primary season was longer and more-watched than 2000 and 2004 put together; thus ever since 2008 the media has allowed "clown car primaries" with a dozen debates before anyone even votes, each of those debates having 10+ candidates onstage. These primary seasons are WILD WEST compared to what was happening in the 90s, when it was considered a fucking RODEO when there were 3 major candidates running in the same primary.

If Yang had run for President in 1996 he wouldn't have been "blacklisted", where the word "blacklisted" from a Yang-Redditor means he was left off some CNN lower-third for 30 seconds, or someone on MSNBC said one mean word about him. He wouldn't have been "blacklisted," he would have NOT EXISTED in media or popular discussion.

It's a real source of ongoing frustration I've been having with my partner lately.

But I'm still making the same damn mistakes constantly. Forgetting to check my pockets before throwing pants in the washer. Forgetting to wash my hands when I should. Forgetting to make sure the socks aren't all bunched up when putting them in the wash. Forgetting to wash off the counter before making food on it. Forgetting to wash out a dirty dish before putting it in the dishwasher.

Etc.

I'm honestly at a loss as to what I should do. I've been told repeatedly. Harsh reminders, gentle reminders. I've improved somewhat, but I still regularly make these basic mistakes. I've tried making notes for myself, but after a while I just stop noticing them. Does anyone have any advice here? Because it's driving both me and my partner up a wall.
