If you have a drone that weighs more than 0.55 pounds but less than 55 pounds (total flying weight including anything itβs carrying), you must register it. Itβs now the law. Lighter drones donβt have to register at all, and heavier ones (as well as drones for commercial use) are registered through a separate process involving paper (ugh).That people are putting up with this shit at all is amazing. I hope compliance approaches 0.
... theyβve got to do something, because they wonβt make a decent return if the business is limited to making car loansRead: Time to start shoveling toxic waste again. Because they aren't dumb enough to hold all that default risk themselves...oh wait.
As I deradicalized myself over the next five years, I eventually concluded that Islam, my faith, was being exploited for a totalitarian political project and must be reclaimed from the theocrats. I have spent the past eight years doing just that through a counterextremism organization that I co-founded.It's not the religion, it's the State that's the problem. It always seeks to twist any idea towards its totalitarian purposes.
I have a message for this young man and all others who care to listen. That feeling of discomfort you have after listening to a sermon is called a conscience! An altar call is supposed to make you feel bad! It is supposed to make you feel guilty! The goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sinsβnot coddle you in your selfishness. The primary objective of the Church and the Christian faith is your confession, not your self-actualization!
Oklahoma Wesleyan is not a βsafe placeβ, but rather, a place to learn: to learn that life isnβt about you, but about others; that the bad feeling you have while listening to a sermon is called guilt; that the way to address it is to repent of everything thatβs wrong with you rather than blame others for everything thatβs wrong with them. This is a place where you will quickly learn that you need to grow up!
This is not a day care. This is a university!
