Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Jesus didn’t live in a democracy, so he never talked about how people should exercise their right to vote, all he said was love your neighbor and pay your taxes. That’s why I said it’s cringe to invoke his name for the purpose of partisan politics, because anything you say about what he would or would not have approved of is pure speculation.

Also, I don’t vote (and I never have), so please stop blaming me for whatever issues you have with the current administration. I don’t rely on the government to make ends meet, so I’d rather not carry the burden of feeling responsible for whatever mess they’re deciding to create. If you feel like taking part in that process, that’s your choice, but I’m going to wash my hands clean of that guilt.

Yeah, he probably deserves one of those.

I’m sorry, but what exactly made you think I’m supporting the Republican party here, just because I hinted at the fact that the Democrats are no angels either? What did it matter that Democrats were in control for the last four years when grocery prices still went up by 100%?

Where did I advocate for tax cuts for the wealthy, or cutting welfare to the needy? All I said was that as far as I understand it, Jesus didn’t advocate for voting to have the government take care of your neighbor, but to do it yourself instead. Which, as far as I understand it, just means that you can’t vote your way out of your problems, you have to take personal responsibility as much as you can.

If there is someone in your life that needs more help than the government is providing, and you have the means to help them, you should do so, instead of complaining that the government isn’t doing enough. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge of the White House, what matters is what you do with what you’re given.

Invoking the name of the Lord for the purpose of partisan politics is cringe no matter who does it.

He advocated for people giving directly to the poor (i.e. charity), not for letting the government handle that.

What does that have to do with anything?

The question was whether or not he advocated for socialism.

Yeah, that’s like saying vegans wouldn’t eat pork.

As I said, you have no idea what he said but you’re confident he’d agree with you.

Yes, and that did in fact happen during the early days of the church, until Rome became the center of Christianity. So who won in the end?

So you have no idea what Jesus advocated for, but you’re confident that he’d agree with you…

Yes, progressive taxation is a feature of socialist government.

Yes but did he say paying your taxes will remove the obligation to take care of your neighbor?

I’m kinda missing the verse where he said “Give Caesar what is Caesar’s, and let him take care of the poor.”

Did Jesus ever advocate for trusting the system?

What did I get wrong? Where did Jesus advocate for forced redistribution by government?

No. Socialism is a form of government that relies on forced redistribution, which is not something Jesus ever advocated for or practiced. He DID encourage people to share their wealth and take care of the poor, yes, but he never took anything by force in order to give it to them, and he never told people to do so either.

The author is looking for a monitor replacement.

Yes, and he’s not wrong, as that appears to be the primary use case for these glasses. For full AR, you still need the Beam Pro, which costs half of the price of the glasses alone.

I do love Snow Crash (it was one of my favorite novels growing up), but I think Google Glass was probably much closer to that vision than these are. Personally, all I want is a big fucking screen fixed in space before me that doesn’t make me dizzy when I look at it for more than 5 minutes, or wear out my neck muscles too much because the headset is too heavy.

Right, I have a 1600p laptop screen as well and the resolution downgrade was noticeable. What you say about the projection makes sense, unfortunately I haven’t seen any specs for the micro OLED displays they use, they only claim that the virtual screen has 1080p, which might be achievable if the displays DO in fact have a higher vertical resolution. It DOES appear that they’ve increased the size of the displays from 0.55" to 0.68" but there’s no information on the native resolution that I can find.

If I saw these glasses in a store somewhere I’d probably try them out but they’d have to be VASTLY better than the ones I tried to convince me to buy them.
