Top 10 tips for 2025
goodbye old friend 
Jesus spoke about aromantic, asexual, and intersex people…
“There are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:12
The word translated eunuch (εὐνουχίζω) means either castrated physically, or simply unmarried.
Notice the first line: “there are eunuchs who have been so from birth”. So in this verse we see Jesus saying, intersex and aroace people do exist, and they are born that way. As an evangelical Christian, I fully support this view.
This post is almost a direct quote from the second half of Romans 1
christians when the challenge is to at least grit their teeth and let the lgbtq people do their thing instead of getting all in everyone’s face under the ‘justification’ (guise) of preaching gospel we all already know of
“I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the Lord. I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your guilt, that you rebelled against the Lord your God.” - Jeremiah 3:12-13
God longs for us to return to him. The door is open, but we have to admit that we are guilty.
Another interesting fact: this is also called the gnat line in Alabama and Georgia, because gnats are common south of it, but they disappear north of it
The Fall Line is a cool thing in the Southeast United States, where the land has a stark transition from soil types. The geography also changes from Piedmont (rolling hills, deciduous trees) to coastal plain (more flat, more pine trees) because of this. I’ve observed this in real life, it kind of splits North Carolina (and all the other states with it) into distinct sections, like the east vs the central part. It’s especially stark in Georgia, where the large majority of the population lives north of the line.
It also has determined where many large cities are. Richmond, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Raleigh, Columbia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Fredericksburg, Rocky Mount, Fayetteville, Augusta, Macon, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa are all on the Fall Line. One reason for this is because there are a lot of waterfalls on the line as it transitions, they built the cities on the coastal side (before the waterfalls) so ships could still get there.
I’m gonna try to make one post every day about something I’m interested in, like this.
It is basically two mandalorian episodes glued together, so make what you will of that. I liked it personally, not as good as Andor or Rogue one though.
Poll: Is being gluten free/dairy free common in your country? Is there actual food (not just salads) available for people with those allergies? It’s a pretty common thing in America
Update on this after a long time: I just looked at the results from 2024. My district was 53.7-45.1 Trump. My friend’s district was 52.5-46.2 Trump in 2024.
On my run today, I counted 14 houses with Trump signs and 16 houses with Harris signs. I looked up the results and my precinct, which is just neighborhoods like mine, voted 55% for Trump in both 2016 and 2020.
My friend, whose neighborhood is newer, has less expensive houses than mine and has more houses in total, said he counted 27 Trump-supporting houses and 12 Harris-supporting ones. His precinct, which has some rural area in it, voted 58% for Trump in 2016 and 57% in 2020.
