I understand the sentiment but I think the attention is because of the novelty of it being a submarine and it being connected to the Titanic.

I love it when they change up their routine.

Hello Ziggy!

The ability of women to hold leadership positions in the church they are members of might seem like a minor detail to you, but it probably doesn't seem minor to the women who feel called by God to lead and are told by men that, actually they are pretty certain God said they can't.

I suppose I'm a former actual Christian, raised in the church, homeschooled K-12, not SBC but not unfamiliar with it. Point is, I know enough to know that modern Christianity is the accumulation of a series of compromises, concessions, and reinterpretations of the eternal Word of God over the centuries.

Interpreted literally, that passage also outlaws woman from teaching even Sunday School, much less my mom from Home Schooling me. Certainly I should have been in authority over her by the time I was, what, 13?

Gaming that out leads to some pretty alarming scenarios, and that's relative to the alarming scenario we are currently living through!

The very fact that there is such a thing as modern Atari is, frankly, confusing. I haven't quite gotten over that revelation yet.

There are two VCS.

The original Atari 2600 was called the VCS and that's what most oldish folks and the OP article are likely thinking of.

You're talking about the 2021 Linux-based console inspired by the original, which I hadn't even heard of until your comment.

I think this is in reference to the type of drama more associated with YouTube, wherein an audio or video clip posted substantially contains copyrighted material in a way not covered by fair use.

I haven't myself used Twitter since 2010 so I may be mistaken.
