I keep feeling old and confused because those have been back on the market, then back off, and I think back on since the show aired.

They're back on.

Well.

we're talking about that on the tipping thread

Ah. Carry on then!

that woman's "church" sounds like a drug front

and why is that

a 15-member church in a storefront?

that's not that uncommon, dude

I think half of a dead shopping mall I know of was churches or rehearsal spaces or w/e until they decided to finally kill it

in south minneapolis where i live there's like 100 storefront chruches like Missionary Christ The Redeemer Warrior Evangelical Church Of the Holy Spirit type places with like handmade signs and stuff. I don't think they are fronts for anything, just some dude or dudette calls themselves a preacher and starts preaching

or now actually lots of times there are a lot of them taking over actual churches that were aging presbyterian or lutheran churches that closed

yeah there's a little storefront church on my block between a bar and a laundromat

my neighborhood is storefront church central. i kinda like it.

It's common in the evangelical traditions for people to break off from the church they attend and start their own. My favorite IT guy at my old job started his own church.* I think it was out of his house, but he was relatively new to the pastoring gig and seemed to be pretty successful so maybe he'll have a storefront or similar one day.

*We mostly talked about Star Trek.

the only reason i was snarky upthread is because she was saying she "gives got 10%" and obviously a start-up church isn't going to have much accountability in terms of the finances compared to a mainstream denomination where there is a church board and an office manager and the pastor is assigned from the national organization and paid a set salary etc

i would attend a church headed by thestartrekman xp

I wouldn't recommend it. He's a great IT guy (at least compared to the other bozos that worked there) and fun to talk to about science fiction, but I've accidentally veered into theological territory with him and he quickly loses his charm when the conversation takes that turn.

I'm just wondering where this server came from if the money they get doesn't count as God's. Doesn't that mean when God created everything, this server is something he had no part in creating, thus there must be a rival deity creating people outside of God's jurisdiction and thereby barging in on God's potential profits. It does make her more sympathetic: clearly she believes in a polytheistic cosmology and the God she donates money to is every day losing out to random people, clearly this God is lacking in power/authority and needs all the cash it can get.

banksters

combination of banker and hipster?

In Iceland, we arrest all the bankers with the ironic moustaches, also Bjork.

image even more lol after the radio segment I heard this morning explaining how Iceland's government paid all the Icelandic people who lost money when a large bank collapsed, but all foreign investors were SOL

Yeah, but they have to like your name before you get it.

i posted another motivational picture on facebook just now.

See that bitch right there?

The one you just called fat?
She has an eating disorder and she looks better than ever.
The one you just called ugly?
She spends tons of time and money trying to conform to society's ideal of female beauty.

There's a lot more to bitches than you think. Also, let's go trip some people!

See that weird bug?
YOUR MOTHER'S DEAD

Kinda think that should be printed out with one or two words per page and released as a companion volume to David F Wallace's "This is Water"

Maybe throw in George Saunders' essay "A Thought Experiment" while you're at it:
"You would not blame a banana for being the banana that it is. You would not expect it to have autocorrected its bent stem or willed itself into a brighter shade of yellow. Why is it, then, so natural for us to blame a person for being the person she is, to expect her to autocorrect her shirllness, say, or to will herself into a perkier, more efficient person?"
