It wasn't a whip, it was a scourge - that's a whip with spikes and thorns woven into it. Also, he didn't have one on him (obvs) so he went and /made/ a scourge. John 2:15 The Bible specified that he made it himself, which shows premeditation. That wasn't a beating of passion, it took planning and forethought - he /really/ didn't want money changing hands in that temple. I'm not a Christian, but I do find that story fascinating.
This isn't exactly necessarily true. KJV uses the word scourge. NIV uses the word whip. The original greek uses the term phragellion. Online all the definitions I am getting say "a whip" and "scourge" and "lash" interchangeably. Bible websites seem to specify that it is a "roman lash used for public punishment" which might imply a scourge, but also might imply a whip. I think the romans would use both depending on severity. This does sorta make a difference. It wouldn't take much effort or time to make a simple whip. It would obviously take some time to make a scourge. Also i would probably err on the NIV than KJV. while there are a lot of hardcore christians who take a very hard stance on KJV being **the** english translation of the bible, KJV is known among people who **aren't** hardcore christians as containing some...creative translation choices, to say the least.
While the car factory thing is sorta scammy, it's not actually unheard of today. A friend of mine was actually paying a large amount of tuition(or rather the government was paying it) for initial training in HVAC which is primarily "on the job" like an apprenticeship. When I was doing audio tech I would help set up and record my teacher's private clients as part of my training(although my school was determined by a class action to be a fraudulent school). And in a sense an apprenticeship can be looked at this way. An apprentice works for pretty cheap sometimes. And you can look at the difference between what the apprentice would be making as a full employee/journey level and what they make as an apprentice as being a sort of fee or price paid to the employer for the trouble of training them. This concept straddles the line between scammy and legitimate. It has legitimate justifications but depending on the details of its implementation it can be more of a scam. It looks like the car factory leans more towards scammy when compared to a normal apprenticeship, which *does* still pay the apprentice a wage for their work.
Mayor Pete is a goood, honest, accomplished and knowledgeable man. I'm by no means an American, but the United States surely could use more people like him running for the highest office in the land.
@@NotoriousLightning Mayo Pete is the personification of only doing something for a resume. He seems vastly more proud of the work he did at McKinsey that he isn't even allowed to talk about than he is his old job of mayor, a title he loves when he thinks it gives him the gimmick of "folksy, small town politician" and hates whenever churches full of black residents are complaining about how he handles policing.
"It's the monorail episode from The Simpsons"
Moments later: "So in Shelby, Ohio..."
I'll be damned, it really *was* more of a Shelbyville thing.
that must be why they lose to us in football nearly half of the time

Tell your Newthought enemies you’re going to dedicate long hours to thinking about them losing money.
Some of them will freak out. It’s great.
As a former resident of wise county Virginia. This all tracks
Hahaha the car thing is just Tom Sawyer and the picket fence
ABABOAB: always be abandoning babies or abducting babies
*nods in L. Ron Hubbard*
The car college scam was a real Tom Sawyer fence.

It made me so sad selling The Secret to elderly Black women in the 2000s knowing they were being taught to blame themselves for poverty.

Robert does not know how well the phrase "slides into the right place at the right time with the right lie" perfectly surmises Pete Buttigieg.
