4wo guys one hammer

I was shared this while on a thankfully civilized talk. Here's the link, but I'll clean up the original text to be more digestible, maybe alter a few of it.
https://www.reddit.com/AcademicBiblical/comments/1c5ucxj/response_to_sikers_analysis_of_homosexuality_in
Here goes

1. Siker seems to be offering a scholarly version of Matthew Vines' argument
It being "Paul can't be condemning what we think of as committed loving homosexual relationships, because he was thinking of bad things like prostitution or uncontrolled-lust homosexuality."
So, the idea is to claim that Paul's letters can't be enlisted to authorize contemporary homophobia since he wouldn't have known about the kinds of relationships gay Christians want to have now.
I appreciate the contemporary ethics of Siker's approach since homophobia is dehumanizing and harmful, but the idea that this approach inherently reflects "liberal leanings" (Siker's claim) ignores how plenty of liberals reject homophobia without trying to enlist and sanitize the Bible as support.
2. I disagree with the Innocent Paul claim as Vines postulated
It is true that Greek, Roman, and Jewish sources do not often feature something resembling "a committed loving queer sexual relationship," but this is where confusion often sets in; there must be a distinction between

• Whether such queer relationships were really nonexistent in Mediterranean antiquity and if writers were aware and
• Whether what's going on is that the dominant Greco-Roman sexual ideologies that shape our texts have no room for such relationships

According to dominant ideals, powerful men were supposed to actively penetrate those below themselves on the social and gender hierarchy; a man who delighted in being penetrated by another man was by relative definition effeminate, and thus not to be celebrated. Women loving and sexually engaging with other women meant they weren't being used by (the right) men, and thus Greek and Roman writers tended to disparage, ridicule, and reframe female homoeroticism.
But our texts aren't direct sociological data, they reflect and think with dominant sexual ideologies, which by definition erased/reframed divergent sexual and gender expressions. This is why the likes of Amy Richlin,[1] Bernadette Brooten,[2] Deborah Kamen and Sarah Levin-Richardson,[3] and Jimmy Hoke**[4]** have argued that even though our sources erase, reframe, and distort people who liked any non-normative sex and relationships in Mediterranean antiquity, they still existed.
Bottom line: Writers like Paul could certainly have been aware of queer sexualities and relationships that were not enslaved prostitution or pederasty. Folks like Vines and Siker unintentionally reinscribe the association between homoeroticism and pedophilia/sexual violence.
For what it's worth, everyone should read Richlin's article from 30 years ago. Doesn't matter whether you agree with all of her arguments, it's brilliant scholarship.
3. Corpus point of view
There's a related debate about whether our texts even have a category for something like sexual orientation or simply imagine sex via other grids like active vs. passive/penetrator vs. penetrated (e.g., see Craig Williams' excellent sketch of these paradigms in Roman literature**[5]**).
The most common scholarly opinion in terms of Greco-Roman antiquity gender-sex studies is that our sources don't reflect ideas like sexual orientation, so orientational categories aren't historically helpful for reading our texts.
Other scholars like Richlin and Brooten have critiqued these positions, though they still forcefully argue that our sources thought with overtly hierarchical patriarchal ideologies about sex, like penetrator and penetrated. This final point is something on which Richlin is often misrepresented, which is bizarre since she wrote one of the classic books for understanding such dominant sexual ideologies.[6]
4. Paul Romana
Romans 1:18-32's basic point is that Paul discussed the total moral failure of Gentiles by sketching their (feminizing) descent into being dominated by their passions, one of the resultant illustrations of the Gentiles being their domination by their passions through transgressing the gendered order, exemplified by Gentile men losing sexual control of "their women" (i.e., these men are failed men from this angle) and each other in 1:26-27 - an inversion of the normative sexual order.
Paul treated male-male anal penetration as a straight illustration of Gentile corruption and domination by their passions. It's part of his grander point that Gentiles became (effeminately) enslaved by their passions (see Stanley Stowers' classic articulation of this decline-of-civilization reading of Rom 1:18-32**[7]**).
The key issue here is that there's no literary reason to think he only had in mind enslaved prostitution or pederasty, ANY male-male anal penetration upended the normative gender order. If anything, he might have indicated elsewhere that free men penetrating (raping) their slaves (gender irrelevant) was okay since that use of slaves was acceptable within many moral schemes; Paul never objected to it, and some passages potentially align with treating enslaved humans as legitimate non-marriage sexual outlets (e.g., as argued by Jennifer Glancy**[8]** regarding 1 Thess 4:4's εἰδέναι ἕκαστον ὑμῶν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ σκεῦος κτᾶσθαι("that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honor")).
5. Linguistic flexibility
There's no reason to limit οὔτε μαλακοὶ οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται of 1 Cor 6:9 to prostitution; "malakos" means "soft"/"effeminate." In Greek texts, it often does refer to men who are penetrated sexually - obviously effeminizing - but a man who was unrestrained or excessive in his penetrating of women is likewise an example of "effeminate" in Greek sources.
ἀρσενοκοίτης's meaning remains debated, but the etymological game of making it "man-bedders" is problematic; rather than get bogged down in this lexical discussion, the larger point regarding Siker is, again, that the issue of whether "committed same-sex relationships" are in view is irrelevant.
Paul listed effeminate Gentiles as those who will not inherit the kingdom of God; a male prostitute is by definition effeminate for these discourses, but so would a man in a "committed same-sex relationship" who is anally penetrated.
6. Futility
I don't get why "liberal-leaning" scholars think they can salvage a moral Bible by handwaving Paul's (what we can redescribe as) homophobia, even if all of Siker's claims were true, Paul's logic is entirely premised on reprehensibly misogynist gender ideologies that animate his other arguments, so even trying to save the dude from Those Two Bad Verses leaves you with the steaming animal manure that is said premise.
Hope this helps!

Maybe take apart some/all points or even tell me how to cope.
I thought Paul was that based guy for giving credit to those two women (Phoebe and Priscilla) and stated that people regardless of origin or gender or status were one in the big IM

Due to Gege intentionally revealing all the planning and preparation bit by bit, instead of doing a small arc before the big fight between the two strongest, it was a bit difficult for me to understand why they didn't bring in certain characters to jump Sukuna on certain scene. After the new chapter, it finally clicked for me on how every move they took made sense.
They were banking on the path with the highest chance of success.
The sorcerers divided their strat into 5 stages. The first one will be Gojo facing the King of Curses alone. This was a no brainer since none of them will be able to do anything against a fresh Sukuna, and gojo work best going solo. Kashimo indirectly help the gang by forcing Sukuna to revert back to his Heian era form, even though he wasn't included in the plan.
The second stage is the executioner sword. At first i thought, surely if Maki and Todo were to be involved here they have a good chance of taking out Sukuna? After seeing what a low output Sukuna did to the rest of the cast, the operation will instantly end in failure should Sukuna go all out here, instead of playing around like he did with Higuruma in canon.
The third stage, Yuji and Yuta combo is where things starts to heat up. This was the crucial part for Yuji to be on a roll throughout the rest of the fights. Yuta with his abilities will damage and distract Sukuna, giving Yuji chances to land multiple direct blows that will weaken Sukuna's connection to Megumi, lowering his output. If Megumi had lock in at this moment then it's a W for the gang here. Since that didn't happen we move on to the next stage.
The fourth stage is where everyone was now able to contribute to damaging Sukuna thanks to Yuji soul punch and Maki fatal strike after Yuta Willingly broke his DE. The gang will jump Sukuna and giving room for Yuji to catch his breath and finally lock in to give his uncle the fattest Black Flash in the series. Cue in Yuji putting Sukuna on the ropes after dropping multiple black flashes on him.
The fifth and final stage, after Sukuna had exhausted his DE, fuga and burned out his ct, Todo was the final nail in the coffin. Sukuna had nothing and was fighting the deadliest duo in hand-to-hand.
In conclusion, the good guys, and i suppose Gege too for writing it, made a brilliant high risk plan in order to obtain the greatest victory.

What's channel is Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk Live on? I've been wanting to watch more games lately, but most online links I've found either skip frequently or are lower quality. UFC 301 promises to be one of the biggest events in Boxing history as Dana White lines up a mega card for the 2024 blockbuster next weekend. I pirate everything: sports, movies, TV Channels, and even made my own plex server. But lately I have gotten really into Boxing Streams and haven't found a great way to watch Boxing live for free...

I have a bf and we’ve been together for almost 8 years. We have a 3-year age gap.
I started to have a stable job right after passing the boards. While he was struggling to get a decent job even after passing his boards years ago. He started working in a bank as a helper. His superior saw great potential on him and suggested that he should apply for a stable position at the bank and so he did. He passed and is now working in a government owned bank.
Dati, dahil ako yung mas nakakaluwag sagot ko almost everything. Dahil he’s always on a strict budget, I almost always pay for everything. Not that I complain. Offer ko naman yun dahil para sakin give and take naman yan. Now that he’s earning more than I am, I feel like money changed him. Hindi siya madamot o anything, pero minsan feeling ko oo.
One time we went out for a late dinner and while we’re on our way home, nadaanan namin si mama naghihintay ng masasakyan. So I asked him if it’s okay na ihatid si mama since sasakyan niya gamit namin that time hindi yung akin. He nodded and went silent since then. Bago sumakay si mama nagsorry ako and told him na magttransfer na lang ako ng pang-gas dahil kinabukasan magpapagas na siya. Nagulat ako dahil nawala siya bigla sa mood.
Sumama loob ko dahil nung 1st year nyang nakabukod, he’s always at our house. Literally everyday. Parang sa bahay na siya nakatira. We didn’t hear anything from my mom kahit wala siyang inabot kahit piso. Sa umaga lagi pa siyang kasama sa pinapabaunan ng lunch ni mama. Hindi sa nanunumbat pero.. do you guys get the point o mali ako? Hayy..
One time meron yung sabi ko nagugutom ako and I want papaitan. Nagalit amp sininghalan ako at sabing “wala na nga akong pera e!” Tapos nagbugnot. Pero ayaw naman tanggapin yung share konf bayad pag nag aabot at transfer ako binabalik.
Nung dating maliit pa lang sahod niya wala siyang problema magsabi sakin kung magkano sinahod or bonus pag napag usapan. Samantalang ngayon, hindi na makapagbigay ng figure.
Idk why pero feeling ko mapag aawayan namin yung pera pag kami yung nagkatuluyan at wala akong sariling income..

Hello, im 24 year old and i have no friends... Ive never really had friends even in shcool, from preeschool to like 4 grade i had class mates and all but after 5th grade , now i see it , i had nobody, i mean i was a part of groups but not rly... I remember waiting outside of school when class was done to walk home with my class mates but when they would get out first nobody said "ah this guy (me) is not here lets wait for him" you know. So yeah after primary shool i didnt ,or they didnt, stay in touch with anybody... Even now after 10 years if i bump into someone i knew back then they dont say hi if i dont say it first. And in middle school for first 2/2and a half years i had 1 or 2 friends then we kind of split, its not like i didnt try to talk to them its more that i felt like they didnt want me to be there so again i was left alone, sitting alone in class. Long story short after middle school Ive felt like the bonds that i had with people i was around with were fake. Even now i have to make first moves like send mesages first. Ive been working for past 5 years after middle school and i dont have work buddies ,and yea i talk to people but its not talk talk its more small talk they dont know me for who i am ... Never had a girlfriend, stopped going out , my free time is games and series on hbo netfix whatever, no friends , nobody to talk to,no will to make any just to be left behind after one or two years....Btw this isnt a post about you have to feel bad for me. What can i do ? Im an introvert with no social life

Hey guys, like the title says. I'm having a hard time searching for one in Ireland. Is it not legal or it's just not that popular?

Guys if we ignore just for one second that T1 is the only Korean team to win MSI, then G2 could be tied with the best region of all time in MSI wins. Kinda crazy!

Pretext: I tried posting this in Hamilton but the mods, probably blinded by their depressive existence in the hellscape that is Hamilton, weren’t open to reasonable criticism of the city. So, I’ve brought it here to advise anyone even so much as considering a move to Hamilton to think otherwise. [BREAK]
First and foremost, this is by no means intended to be an attack on you guys as a people but Hamilton is without a doubt the most revolting city I have ever visited or lived in (and that includes several cities in North Africa).
The apparent normalization of drug use (in the extreme), dilapidated infrastructure, ineffectual policing, housing crisis (where doesn't have one of these at the moment, though?), etc., led to my partner and I (Irish and American, respectively), leaving pretty hastily after a six-month stay.
If you're young enough and have the means to get out of the ironically-nicknamed "Golden Horseshoe", please, for the love of all things holy, do. I felt a great deal of pity for the self-professed "Hamilton Lifers" I met who had bought into the weird delusion that life there is as good as it gets. The same goes for people on the Mountain which albeit, is markedly nicer than the city but isn't nearly as bougie as the locals like to present.
It's important to acknowledge that the vast majority of the people I met in and around Hamilton were incredibly courteous, kind, and welcoming so this post is by no means intended to bash Canadians. It's just painful, from an outsider's perspective, to see good people being so brutally failed by their government. Like, what the heck happened? I moved to Canada with the preconception that it was like the US's more academically-inclined little brother but my experiences south of the border have been dramatically more impressive than north of Niagara or Buffalo. If you guys were French, you would be out burning the place to the ground in protest at this stage and, hell, even that would constitute a facelift to some of the places downtown.
Best of luck and thank you guys for the hospitality you showed us while we were in your neck of the woods.
Edit1: [posting here because the mods in hamilton couldn’t hack a negative opinion]
Edit2: I actually thought Toronto was pretty nice in the time I spent there.

Hey guys ! Hope all of you are doing good !
So I currently have an MC-101 and a TB-03, I mainly make tekno music out of them but I feel like the MC 101 isn’t giving me the percussions I’d like and having one of the four tracks taken by drums is kind of annoying. So ! I’m looking for a drum machine that can get those screeching kicks and crazy drums. Tell me if I’m wrong but what I understand about the TR6s is that you have kind of the classic techno drums whereas the Elektron Cylce gives you more teKno sounds with more effects on them, more « experimental » ?
Hope you guys got my point and I’m looking forward to read your advice ! See ya

Hi guys just wanted to ask what the largest/most popular crypto options exchanges are. Doing a dissertation on crypto so want to get my transaction/px data from the top places so it is as representative of the market as reasonably possible.
There's a 3y old post in here but I consider it less relevant because crypto is still such a changing space. Also have looked at top lists relating to 24h volume/trust score etc. and frequently there are dodgy exchanges at the top. So wanted to come and ask people who trade this stuff fr in case I've missed any crucial ones.
Current core list: OKX, Binance, Bybit, Kraken.
Deribit I'm aware of too but they run their data through tardis.dev and this is paywalled which makes it redundant to a student like myself.

A blind guy & a deaf guy walk into a bar, drink too much & get into a fight with each other, who wins?
Ground rules : - Bar is empty except for them - Their both drunk - Fight till one is unconscious, incapacitated or killed
R1 : standard fight with ground rules R2 : Very loud music is playing which they can’t shut off & all lights in bar are also shut off & can’t be turned back on, so deaf guy cant see & blind guy can’t hear. Who wins now?

How strongly do you guys think it will effect my grade if I messed up one of two diagrams in the eco 15 marker? Like it’s not completely wrong but definitely not what it’s supposed to be. The rest of my essay is pretty good (I think) with fitting and detailed RWEs.

Hi Everyone bit of a long one.
So to keep things straight forwarded I have a network with a bunch of APs and a few vlans and way to many wireless networks I want to simplify it down to 1 for staff one for students and 1 for guests. I am looking for a solution that allows end users to use either Google workspace accounts or Azure AD accounts to connect to their relevant networt. I also want to be able to see which account and device is connected to what ap if that makes sense.
My first guess would be radius but what suggestions do you guys recommend

So almost 3 months ago, I had an anonymous Instagram account. Feeling desperate for love, I started commenting under posts, that I need someone to talk. One account (girl) replied to me. Had a little chat followed by sexchat. I thought it was just a one time thing. Got her text next day and we started chatting normally and flirting over next 3-4 days. Got to know that we belong to same caste. We started dating, exchanged photos and videos and eventually found each other compatible to each other. Some of you may think it could be a guy but I made sure that wasn't the case. Exchanged phone numbers also and used to talk for 3-4 hours a day on call. Experienced my first love and we were already thinking about our marriage.
But, how could everything go so smoothly? On Holi, she was having severe headache and went to doctor. Listening to symptoms, doctor said she has 95% chance of brain tumor. She told me this after 2 days. We both were shocked and she was almost broken from inside. Reports confirmed she had last stage of brain tumor and only few months left. Thinking about my future, she told me to break up, but I resisted saying I will be with her till the very last moment. We had disagreements over this, she started ignoring me so I get convinced to break up but I stayed with her. On 8th April, she got hospitalised and stayed there for about 4-5 days. I wasn't sure if I will talk to her again or not. For context, she lost her parents about 5 years back in a car accident. She only have her elder sister and her fiance in her family, and she was the one who kept updating me about her situation, through her phone only. During her stay in hospital, this condition really got her bad. She started forgetting stuffs but she remembered me. She came back home on 13th April. I really wanted to go meet her in her city but couldn't go due to some circumstances.
This wasn't the only problem she was dealing with. Another huge problem was her ex boyfriend. They both broke up about 1.5 years ago and it was his wish. She begged for her to stay but he left. I got to know from her cousin firstly and then from her, that her ex used to abuse her physically even during their relationship and even after that. And the most shocking part was she didn't even told her sister about that. My blood was boiling on hearing that but I couldn't do anything and felt so helpless. Eventually, I told her sister about this but this kept happening even after this. She tried to protect her but her ex found a way to still hurt her. Finally, I convinced her to talk about this to her sister and she talked but still they took no action. Then, one day she went to her ex's sister's function even after I told her not to, but she still did cuz she was invited. And the worst thing happened. He raped her there. She was broken inside. I was hurt too. In that moment of anger, I broke up immediately, but soon realised I shouldn't have done that and I was the only one she trusted. Told her we are not done yet and I am here for you. I don't want to remember that event but this really boiled my blood. She told her sister and finally they went to his home and told their family. He was beaten finally but that mf deserved much worse. Their family were apologising so they didn't took any legal action. Even after going through all this, she still talks normally.
Two days back, her sister told me to break up with her and it would be better for both. I couldn't understand how it would be better for her. I know she won't be able to live without me and hence, I didn't want to do. She said she wanted her sister to live this phase alone which is her best phase. She told if we won't do if ourselves, she will interfere and everyone will get hurt. Hearing all these, I decided to break up but still stay as a friend whom she can confide. For context, we broke up twice before but cuz of having short term memory loss, she forgot and I knowing her condition so convinced myself to be in relationship. I never had any problem to be with her. So we broke up that night. She got too sad, even I got. but we handled ourselves. But the next day her sister with her fiance went to goa leaving her alone at home. I don't know what she thinks and she even care about her or not. She don't feel like sleeping at night so I used to talk regularly so she don't feel alone and even talked yesterday. I don't know if she remember about our break up or not.
I feel like this incident will stay always with me and I don't know what will happen. Kitni bhi ziddi ho yrr but hai to my first love. I badly want her to stay forever. I want to marry her and give her all the love she deserves. I want her to be happy always. I want to feed her food from my own hands. I want to care for her. I want to make her sleep when she have headaches. I want to hug her, kiss her forehead. I just want to be with her forever. I LOVE HERR. I would have fought with the whole world for her, but this cancer and distance really fucked us😭😭

Hi, I'm currently choosing between the A1 and the A1 with AMS and as a newbie to 3D printing, I would like you guys to give me some insights.
I am mostly going to print in one colour, so I don't need the AMS for multicolour purposes. I like the idea of having four spools ready to go, but herecomes the thing I'm not sure about, as I don't have any experience:
How long is a shelf life for a PLA spool in normal room conditions (central Europe, no AC)? I don't think that as a hobby solo printer I will go through a whole spool quickly (more so when there would be four of them) so I'm concerned of the filament going brittle before I can use it all.
So is it worth it to pay around 600€ instead of 430€ for a thing I won't be able to fully use? Thanks guys in advance :)

I, 25M, am married to my wife, Sasha, 28F. She comes from a pretty wealthy background while I decidedly do not. My dad left before I was born and my mum died when I was 11. I've mostly 'gotten over it', as much as one can, 'get over' something like that. However I'm still sensitive on any so called 'jokes' on that.
I graduated summa cum laude, and went straight into investment banking. I met my wife when I was 23, and fresh into it, but after 3 years I earn pretty well. My wife is a lawyer. Now I love my wife and she loves me (obviously) but her family hatess me. Like from the depths of their souls, hates me. I've been called a gold-digger, a low-life and a few more vague insults on my table-manners.
I went to a 'party' with her the other day, one of those fancy shmancy things where everyone drinks cHaMpAgNe and complains about this that and the other, talking about oh we spent sOoOOo much money on renovations, *gasp*. And I got the usual mild comments from wife's family and close friends on where my wife 'picked' me up from.
Lacy, I don't think, knew about my family history before. We were talking about dads, don't ask me why and I got a question on what my dad did, I said I didn't know, never met the guy. Lacy made this kind of exaggerated gasp and went 'oohh, well we all know why you're with her [my wife] then don't we?'
I acted all confused and she got flustered, and just kept going with 'well... you know'. My wife tried to move the conversation along but by this point I wasn't letting it go, I kept pushing, and pushing until Lacy finally said, 'well you two don't exactly have the same... finances do you' and then responded with, you're right. I make quite some more.
Lacy by this point was too embarrassed to keep going, I'd kind of ruined the vibe, but the night continued, this isn't the kind of event you walk away from. We went, which was when shit genuinely went down. She told me it was crazy of me to keep pushing on that point and turn one comment into one of them most embarrassing moments of her life and now everyone in her circle must think she's some kind of failure to earn so much less than her husband, and I'd ruined everything.
But its not like I lied. I'm just tired of being treated like shit in her circle. My wife is upset though, and I do care about her, so I need to know, AITA?

Hey guys, could someone clarify if I need to make a new claim for Austudy If I have enrolled in a different course than the one I had initially put on my claim? I put the claim in on the 8th of April with Process date between the 21st-28th of June, but having read the other posts, that time may be delayed/extended. Would it be worth calling or going in person to update/ modify my claim?

I (F19) was on discord with my friend (F20) and we were in the same room (we are roommates). We were using my account to chat with random people in servers. For some reason, she was acting like she was the center of attention. A lot of guys kept coming in the VC and someone would flirt bc they saw my pfp. One even said my pfp was pretty. And she thought they said your voice(hers or mine) was pretty (she claimed so even tho i dont think that was what they said). And then she took the credit for the pretty voice without even considering they could of been talking about me. For some reason each time they were flirting she would think they were only flirting with her. Like, it was my account, my picture. It makes me think that she thinks im ugly and no one would flirt with me. Later on, we started talking to this one guy who stayed in call for a long time and we got closer with him. I liked him in a friend way as I found conversing was natural and it was fun. The whole time though, she acted like she was the main character of the call, like he was mostly only wanting to talk to her. At one point she started trying to make me seem like I was weird by calling me a predator and saying I touch her butt all the time and like it a little too much (we both slap eachothers behinds because its funny to us). And it just felt like she was tryna make me like less likable. She was also flirting with this guy btw. Im just upset she would treat me this way just for a drop of attention. I wasn't interested in no one romantically and never flirted with anyone. Also I introduced her to dicord vcs because I used to chat with randoms when I was younger and found it fun. Now I cant even hang out with her without her being on discord voice chats. I fear that she is getting addicted to male attention and is willing to throw me under the bus for it now.
