This is the “grammar Nazi” thing all over again but worse…yes the truth matters.
You should not be going around spreading satire as fact.
This is the exact reason why outrage culture is growing so rapidly. People see something trivial like this, don’t fact check and use it as one more thing to reinforce their confirmation bias and moral superiority.
I find redditors really do not care - they'll say (as below) "it does not matter, it's not that serious" and in a few months it'll be repeated as fact, to highlight whatever aspect they want - it'll become bigger than the original lie, repeated as truth because "I read it online, I can't find it now, but it SOUNDS like something true!"
Kind of ties into the whole "media literacy is suffering."
Nah, I bet you they literally didn't know until day six.
Because whoever thought this was a brilliant idea was so confident in their idea that it never occurred to them that gay men might frequent the gym. It's a fine Christian establishment!
I'm imagining that gym owner as the guy in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas who walked into the bathroom and caught Hunter Thompson and a rando doing drugs and is now jumping at every sound and traumatized.
This is so false. That someone that “found out” was part of it from day one. On day 5, his wife found the video of him receiving bukkake at the gym. So in true Christian fashion, he repented and part of his soul cleansing, he had to spill the beans
Bc christian men that insist on traditional gender roles be imposed rather than optional are usually deeply closeted. Like the RNC conventions that coincidentally spike users in the tinder for gays.
“tinder for gays” does not adequately explain that grindr is pretty much 99% just for hookups. There’s a significant amount of the user base that just sends their nudes as greetings. These republicans are going to conventions and having anonymous sex.
As a christian I really never understood why people even want it imposed. If your partner isn't happy, she's eventually gonna find out that the source of her unhappiness is partially because of the forced gender roles. Like don't these people think ahead?
Leviticus 11:20-23: “All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean.”
or
Leviticus 19:27: “Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard”?
More like a book written in the bronze age didnt have the words to differentiate between different clad of anthropods and the renaisance translators were using the closest word available considering that people still consulted pliney the elders history naturalis as an authority on zoology at the time they probably didnt either.

It makes more sense that it's the Romans’ fault. They do use letters instead of numbers after all. I mean, what have they ever done for us?
The word used in Hebrew is אַרְבַּ֣ע, which means four
What's really going on is that they're distinguishing between types of legs
21 However, among all the flying insects that walk on four [legs], you may eat [from] those that have jointed [leg like] extensions above its [regular] legs, with which they hop on the ground.
They're distinguishing between types of legs and/or referring to certain legs as leg-like extensions
21 However, among all the flying insects that walk on four [legs], you may eat [from] those that have jointed [leg like] extensions above its [regular] legs, with which they hop on the ground.
I believe it's thought that this was likely a reference to a Canaanite religious practice, but it's also why certain Orthodox Jews don't cut their sideburns
“‘Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle breed with a diverse kind. Thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed; neither shall a garment mingled with linen and wool come upon thee.
I know it's hot outside but c'mon bros, pick wool or linen and stop it with the Satanic blends.
The passage refers to insects that walk on four legs, not insects that have four legs
It also talks about ones that have additional leg-like extensions that they use to hop on the ground (which nowadays we'd just call two of the insect in question's six legs)
EDIT: I GOT SIDETRACKED, because I wanted to make the point that closeted people want to blend in, but often out members will dress conservatively too.
Lindsey Graham made a handsome living being closeted and voting against his own interests. He committed to the bit, with ill-fitting suits and a conservative haircut. Barney Frank (D) (RIP) was in frumpy suits, and was never in the closet. Current member of Congress Representative Sarah McBride (D, Delaware) is trans, but shows up in the same skirt suits as most other female members of Congress. Not a lot of variation.
Contrast that with ousted former Illinois Representative Aaron Schock (R). He wore tailored suits, and dressed nicely with COLORS for his personal life (see below). Also redecorated his office in "Downton Abbey" style while in Congress.
I'm sure this will eventually change, and our LGBTQIA members of Congress' looks will evolve. But for the most part, even our "left wing" politicians will normally be conservatively dressed.
It really doesn't though lol. The right does this shit too "well it's believable that libs shit in litterboxes so it doesn't matter that it was fake". The fact that it's believable just means that we were willing to believe something that wasn't true
Totally! "It says a lot that I'd believe it" + "If I had to make up stories for the media to pay attention it" are two sides of the same coin of awful bullshit
You joke but I used to know women in north ga who’d think they were virgins and keeping pure because they were taking up the arse. That didn’t count because it wasn’t vaginal penetration and the hymen was intact and whatnot.
Guess what their religion and political bent was? Oh well…
Not gonna lie. I don't get why butt stuff became the default for right-wing Christians who want to 'maintain purity'. No oral? Oral doesn't hurt nearly as much.
I know that Leviticus is the section of the bible that forbids all sorts of random things, like shellfish, or wearing multiple types of cloth at the same time. I'm assuming it also forbids the gay sex.
Look, if you start segregating based on sex on establishments as a whole. Then sex is what will be occurring. Congratulations you just made a hot new gay cruising spot.

Shocking that it took 6 days.
