Reply to Salary transparency (hiring) by Channel-Large

Enersys is hiring assembly line for something like $23/hr. It's lead acid batteries, so there will be lead everywhere, but there are always hurting for people with lots of OT

So women can wear whatever they want to? Cut their hair? Wear pants? Go without a burka in the middle east? Have multiple husbands like men can have multiple wives as the bible says? Completely accurate and totally true. Look at the Amish or pentecostals for example, the women have to keep their hair hidden, because "the glory of a woman is her hair" and wear a dress and be "submissive and obedient" according to Paul. That is some serious r/freeUse and r/bdsm (nsfw) being propagated by the church allowing women to suffer duress at the hands of their husbands and a lot of times not being able to speak out. Religion has been used since before the council of nicea to control the masses, and their female property. (In biblical times a good woman was rated just underneath a cow, or maybe slightly less than two goats) Why else would the book of Enoch be thrown out of the Canon and Moses's book of hearsay called Genesis be the accepted creation story even though Enoch was sitting on Adam's knee and Moses was 2,000 years later? Because it did not fit. Moses's book was written by a slave master, voiced by a slave mother, and the laws of the rest of the Torah follow the master/slave mentality. For the most part the levitical laws that are used to torture people today are mostly about sanitary reasons, having a hoard of people cross the desert, with barely enough water to drink there would not have been enough for personal cleaning. Yet according to Leviticus women were supposed to be locked away for their week so they wouldn't get the good clean men dirty. Women to this day are still treated like they are going to get the good clean men dirty. They must submit obey and comply according to the church. They're not allowed to teach. According to most religions the only point of a good woman is to produce a good son.

I truly feel sorry for the women and daughters of religious men. They deserve to be treated better. And it is the duty of society and groups like this one to speak out for the underprivileged and mistreated.

About any church that is United Methodist (not just Methodist as they may also be fundamentalist). We are members of Kingsway UMC. "Open minds, open hearts, open doors". Everyone welcome, anyone can take communion. Relaxed and comfortable, and not a scam. The Presbyterian church is next door if you'd like to go there.

Reply to comment by _ism_ in After nearly a year I am no longer homeless in Springfield by PassingWithJennifer

I understand, there was a brief bit for time I stayed with a partner off and on for a few weeks and found myself doing that too when he wasn't home. I've felt like doing the same. Yesterday I certainly did. I just went around and saw all my people trying not to go home. I've been home most of today. Since 1 at least. Burnt some chicken on the stove (I forgot to pick up cooking oil and thought eehhhh they have grease right?)

Noticed my fire alarms didn't go off even as it was choking me and my eyes. Hit the test button and they seem to work. I'm an electrician so I took it off the wall a little bit to inspect the wires and they were hooked up. Lights blinking. Still maybe something is off about them or I'm just unreasonably bored.

I found a very interesting game on PC that captivated me for a while. I've opened my laptop which just used to sit idle in my car for months and months. Got it and a metridvania called blasphemous. I got into metroidvanias homeless cause they're really quite fun without being too hard. This one seems a bit more souls-like but I guess that's OK cause I've been playing castlevanias on my phone and the bosses felt really weak. But it's still like I just want to progress without every single enemy being a dredge.

Kind of want to get a book shelf or build one at work. And fill it with stuff just so something is on the walls. Maybe tapestry. I have work in 5 hours at my night job do I'm gonna take a nap at 6.

I really appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and support here. I wasn't expecting this to blow up originally 😅
