Exactly, it adds, it doesn't replace.

So you can set the lights when you're away, or it's inconvenient, but you have a switch to act like a normal human otherwise.

Hass is awesome, but not something you'd probably use instead of an actual switch, I use it for my leds in my office where it makes sense.

The sbc never, ever claimed to stand for anything except being pro-slavery.

That's why they schismed from the triennial convention, to endorse the Curse of Ham as core dogma for God to command white men to keep black people as slaves.

Don't sweat it, everyone is just gatekeeping, because only their specific religion is true and everyone else is just evil and siding with Satan.

Southern Baptiats after schisming in order to make the Curse of Ham their dogmatic rationalization of slavery:

I know, but im at an age that micromanaging all my phone apps just isn't fun anymore, I jailbroke my first iPhone 3g and that was a nightmare, I try to stick to stuff that won't break much.

In any case, I have a working methadone for reddit, and as lemmy gets more popular I'm finding myself less and less dependent on it.

Thanks for the tip, I should have tried it earlier I think.

Oh my sweet summer child, you just opened the door to madness.

Southern baptists don't...they don't consider catholics to be Christians.

Not 'catholics aren't real Christians' or 'catholics are heretics', they're not Christian at all, they're like Mormons or Muslims.

I have never managed to understand it, and I had a few SBC try to explain it to me, their attitude is just that it's not real Christianity like protestantism, it's something else, something alien.

This is why Irish and Italians weren't considered white for a long time too, only really white people can be Christian, because of the curse of Ham. Black people like Obama are straight Muslim, full stop.

Feel free to go down this rabbit hole, it won't get you anywhere good, and the sbc has been trying to quietly backpedal as best they can, but it's still really popular among the smaller congregations, at least the ones I met.

I have normal sized hands, I just love huge screens and can single handed text on most, I used the note series since forever except when I went LG.

But reddit canceled their api and trying to use Firefox for it sucked major ass, the vroser version of the site is barely usable at all but damn if I was going to use their Spyware app.

I had the 3, it is so insanely fucking narrow.

Like using an iPhone 4 or something.

The pixel fold I have now is great, usable in both form factors.

It's the south, they hate that the coasts respect Europe more, and that it's generally atheist (atheist in their mind means anything outside of evangelical southern baptists, ie the true religion).

Seriously.

Feels good man.

**But if God intended that the Negro race should be Segregated in Africa then why did He curse the children of Ham and decree that they should be the servants, or slaves, ot the other races?’’

God did not. Canaan was the only one specifically cursed to be a ‘‘servant of servants’’ (Genesis 9:20-27). Even if we admit the possibility that all his descendants were included in the curse (the best Bible scholars disagree on this point). we must still remember that Canaan was only one of the four sons of Ham and therefore he fathered only a MINORITY of the black race. And as I said before, even that servile minority were to live in a different part of the country from the Hebrews (Genesis 10:19).

It cannot be positively proven from the Scriptures that the Negroes were cursed to be black because of Nimrod’s rebellion or because of Ham’s sexual laxity at the time of his father Noah’s drunkenness. But there are some verses that seem to leave that implication. For example in Jeremiah 13:23 we read, ‘*Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.’’ Here the black Skin of the Negro is obviously a symbol of evil. This verse also shows that God meant for that skin to STAY BLACK and not be blended into a Thousand shades of mulatto.

The notion that the Negroes of this country have INHERITED the “‘deep Sunburn’’ that their forefathers are said to have suffered in Africa is ridiculous. Sunburns are not inherited, no matter how deeply they penetrate, not even by the first generation, not to mention the tenth or twelfth generation.

If we are to reject the curse of Ham and the rebellious leadership of Nimrod as explanations of why God made the‘Negro black then there is only one other possible explanation to be found anywhere in the Bible or out of it: THE GOOD LORD WAS SO ANXIOUS FOR THE HAMITES TO BE SEPARATED AND SEG- REGATED PEOPLE THAT HE MADE THEM RADICALLY DIFFERENT IN THEIR APPEARANCE FROM THE PEOPLE OF ALL OTHER RACES. He made their skin color different for for the same reason that He made their language different and for the same reason that He assigned them a different habitation.. At least we would be much kinder and more charitable to our colored friends if we gave that explanation.

The southern Bible doesn't read like yours and mine does, they made some notes in the margins.
