10-40 Mt released into environment/year, and increasing.

Pearl jam is my favorite band also, and Riot act is probably also my favorite album of theirs.

If you like Pearl jam, I'd recommend my favorite album of all times: Soundgarden's Superunknown.

And greed, well you gotta be wealthy in order to afford giving God a nice juicy tithe. Also gotta be self sufficient.

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

he also professed to be Christian

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus Christ said “You cannot serve both God and money.”

Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

A biosphere that becomes unlivable is an emergency. The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

The fact that the biggest and root cause of a mass extinction event is being reduced is not an emergency, it's good.

opossum is naturally immune to rabies

The CDC says they're not, they just rarely have rabies: https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/rabies/pdf/vs-0612-wildlife-rabies-h.pdf

The way the 4th panel leads your eyes up to the 2nd is amazing: 5 panels for the size of 4.

It may mean the user doesn't think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers' decision making ability.

If a distros' makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn't by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can't as easily be changed like UI settings.

Which English translation do you prefer and recommend? I like NET because of it's less-rights reserved copyright, but for ease of understanding I prefer translations that use contemporary language instead of just footnotes.

be kind to them. Fight violence and oppresion with kindness. draw attention to them.

I think this characterization of turning the other cheek is more complete and supported by the nearby text, even for someone like me who prefers Jefferson's eliding.

Re: "do not resist", are there other nearby passages that expand it to more than just refraining from violence, into actually resisting evil persons? I ethically agree with your expanded position of trying to overcome injustice in this world - but doesn't the quotes of Jesus in the canonical books rely instead on waiting for justice in heaven and hell, and not on Earth?

Voyager 5.17 "Course: oblivion"

Hell of an ending.

All that stuff about turning the other cheek and going the extra mile-- it’s not saying to just put up with abuse, mistreatment, and injustice. It’s talking about what people like Martin Luther King and Gandhi did, using oppressors violence and mistreatment against them.

Doesn't it? I think when Jesus said "But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39 he meant put up with abuse, mistreatment, and injustice - do not resist an evil person and do not retaliate when attacked.

I think when Jesus said "love your enemies [...] Be perfect" Matthew 5:44, 48 he meant love your enemies and be perfect.

I think when Jesus said "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor" Matthew 19:21 he meant sell your possessions and give to the poor.

A lot of supply-side Jesus followers say Jesus supports the troops, and that the eye of the needle the camel needs to go through isn't actually the eye of a needle - but a gate.

I think the above quotes are good things to do, eventho I'm not an ethical enough person to do them. I also think all the supernatural things Jesus is quoted as saying is bullshit, and that it's better to be honest than to repeat a bunch of stupid fairy tales.

The lead actor, Peter Sellers, was also in the Pink panther movies (trailer for 1st movie) which you might also like.

My favorite Sellers movie is Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (trailer).
