  1. You'll notice that when people do speak in tongues, they always (at least English speakers—the only group of tongue-speakers with which I've had interaction) use phonemes that are comprised of Baby's First Vocalizations. Because it's just gibberish, it's hard to improvise sounds that aren't in your native language. No English speaker of tongues is getting real Semitic phonemes out there. Just lots of "sha na na" and "manahaba" like shit. No complex diphthongs or consonant clusters. No uvular fricatives, voiced implosives, or clicks. Just basic baby bitch English nonsense
  2. Praying is real in that we can measure changes that go on in people's brains while they do it. It def activates other areas that regular speech alone does not. Same with singing. That's why both of those things can and often do completely eliminate a stutter while they are ongoing.
  3. Well, yeah, speaking in tongues is literally just making up sounds. Of course he didnt stutter. Stuttering encompasses actual language, which requires a lot more of your brain to process.
  4. I hate Roseanne as much as the next person, but this thread could really do without the whole "well who would want to rape Roseanne anyway?" bit. That's right out of Trump's playbook.
  5. I'm hopeful that Deadpool and Wolverine delivers, but the director being a "Ryan Reynolds guy" gives me pause.
  6. Thanks for this. Hadn't listened to any of their stuff before and really enjoyed the episode.
  7. If I remember right, weren't one or more of the Grand Juries responsible for indicting him comprised of one or more Trumpers?

    @troph have you seen Love Lies Bleeding?
  9. What country would take them? We wouldn't exactly be sending our best..
  10. I know the human motivation: greed. I was interested in the utility beyond personal wealth, which appears to be putting needed liquidity into the market, which is fair enough, but I think the practice needs guardrails that it currently lacks (and that feeling applies to almost the entirety of our financial system).
  11. You can't just come into a thread with a piping hot cup of tea and not spill it. Literally what the fuck
  12. To quote Diamond Joe, this is a big fucking deal.
  13. Of course profit is always in the equation for why someone invests. But is there not a difference between someone who invests because they believe in the business and want to have a say in how it's run in order to, ultimately, make more money, and someone who sells something they don't own yet in hopes of manipulating the market for a quick turnaround that probably harms a lot more people than it helps? I believe capitalism with all of its flaws is still the best overall philosophical model to base a society on. But the way we approach it has got to change, and shit like short selling (among many, many other stock-related manipulations) needs to have maybe a few more rules that apply to it. What they would be I have no fucking clue, obv. Could also be that I'm just stupid and naive, but there are worse things.
  14. ...I did. To use a favorite Surly excuse, I'm high af right now
