    Hi Roy, do you know what size canopies were being used with these bags? Do you have a line on the containers that they came out of?

    No, she meant nibling. It threw me as well, the first time she used the word, until I looked it.

    They just can not avoid thinking about it because their interest isn't moral it's prurient. Often it's as simple as anger over others doing openly what they either secretly desire or merely have very natural curiosities or occasional wonderings. Like reformed smokers they incessantly proselytize against the behaviors as a way to keep the ideas, and pictures, fresh in mind. By claiming their interest is faith based they can avoid uncomfortable questions about their strange concerns. Of course, if the urges become uncontrollable there are always a spare set or two of vestments to don for additional camouflage.

    I may be slightly offended unless it turns out that you meant to type "sibling".

    And that’s why it all comes down to respect for me. Because by considering how to treat someone with respect, generally I don’t offend. That means my violently evangelical sister in law doesn’t hear about my transgender nibling. And, while “not offending” isn’t a primary objective all the time, I find people listen much better when treated with respect. And I find it easier to do so if I automatically find something to respect in them yeah, sometimes that’s not easy Wendy P.

    There are certainly activities that I find "off-putting". I'm sure everyone has one or more things like that. To the greatest extent possible I avoid thinking about things I don't like, and just let others get on with their own lives. Some people, however, seem to obsess about what other people do in private, and get all bent out of shape about it. These busibodies need to learn to mind their own business.

    I've been trying hard for a couple of days and could not sell any of my cast iron. Guess that's not for me either. Wait . . . you said OnlyFans. Damn, I was trying OnlyPans.

    Sexual immorality is what other people do that I not only would not do, but also find off putting. Or, it is what I say I would not do but have actually done or want to do and I feel guilty about desiring it.

    As are the belief systems that are the root cause.

    And it changes rapidly. 200 years ago, interracial marriages were immoral. It was immoral for women to have sex before marriage, but not men, since men needed sex to remain healthy. Homosexuality was punishable by jail time. Rape of colored women was not. The mutability of morality is further proof that it's just a transient construct that will change again and again.

    If anyone following this thread knows where I can find a Paradactyl, I would be TRULY appreciative! Been looking for about a year now and still no luck!

    I have a very large head, a pretty large nose, and nowadays I also have a significant amount of big, curly hair. My XXL Cookie G3 just barely fits, and depending on how I tie up my hair my nose is either touching the visor or is 1 to 2 mm away from it. I'd rather have an open face but it's challenging when you wear glasses. But that's a different topic.

    Sexual immorality is just a construct. The only immorality would be if someone is taking advantage of a child or a person otherwise not able to give informed consent. Homosexual sex is not immoral. Men entering the priesthood then using the posistion of trust to take advantage of children is immoral. Likewise it is not immoral for a boy or a girl to feel they don't fit your expectations of their sexuality. It is a struggle, and it may be very difficult for them, but it is not immoral.

    Hey riggers - especially old guys like me! I have a very nice Delta II Parawing that I want to put into a modern, airworthy, piggyback harness/container system. I'm only guessing that I should look for something that would hold a modern 280 sq ft main. As modern canopies might pack smaller, is this big enough? Since I'll probably be finding one online, I would like to have the container size nailed down before purchasing something. Can anyone confirm that 280 is correct, or what the correct size should be? I'm setting it up with a BOC. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    So, being honest, what kind of serious conversation did you want as a result? Not sure what the sayings are in your neck of the woods but kids around here get taught "ask a silly question, get a silly answer" at quite a young age.

    Errm, yeah - but if you were engaging in good faith right now the next words in your post would have been "so I could say 'look how stupid this lefty story is". Well it is, right? I felt my initial critique was fair enough. I could go deeper into it, but I'm a bit pressed for time - moving into my new place.

    Imagine if someone came up to you and offered to give you all the things Christians loved - self-rejection, guilt and condemning homosexuality - if you'd just talk to him in good faith. Would that work for you? Well it's a climate change thread, but ya I guess we could talk about that - Tho I'd say it's more about self denial than self rejection. Self rejection might be more applicable to transgenderism. Guilt is a natural human emotion that can lead to personal growth if handled in a healthy manner. As for the last one, I wouldn't necessarily just single out homosexual sex as it's a subset of sexual immorality in general.

    Oh hell thats old news. The Lincoln project made a video four months ago about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-4M85B3HNg Adam Kinzinger had this to say about it “It’s not good. The best way to describe it... take armpits, ketchup, a butt and makeup and put that all in a blender and bottle that as a cologne,” he said. “That’s kind of that. I’ve been amazed that everybody is just kind of learning about this now,” he added. ...Whiffs of the allegation permeated social media, with the hashtag #TrumpSmellsBad trending on X. It could be the reason the trial judge signed a judicial order for the court staff to keep the temperature below 50 F. Others had speculated that it was for environmental reasons.

    Or. . .since steelmanning is way too much to ask of this place, maybe someone could just try to engage in good faith. I offered a story with a few of the left's favorite things, (Climate change, Trans People and religious conservatives) but all we get is something about eating giant locusts with sex workers in Thailand, poor people vs white men, and Dekker's irrelevant nonsense about brothels. . .and of course, Trump.

    Taking a look, might not be time to recruit people for the upcoming competition, but perhaps. Thank you!
