Hey guys. I'm 32M and just looking for someone to potentially do voice calls with and just chat. I'd prefer a female but honestly fine with male as well just to talk as bros.

Well according to SEC fans they still have the best conference because apparently they have less terrible teams at the bottom than the B1G does. There's not much evidence to support this based on results on the field, just one of those hypotheticals they came up with based off of ESPN's (apparently 100% accurate) metrics.

I guess because teams like Arkansas, South Carolina, and Mississippi State are better than the worst teams in the B1G (hypothetically), the SEC must be better than the B1G.

So what do you guys think? Would you rather be like the B1G and mop the floor with the SEC in the playoff and bowl games and win 3 straight titles? Or would you rather be like the SEC and make excuses all day for why their losses don't matter and bring up hypothetical wins that never happened?

Kind of insane that you can have the most inclusive TV package and live in Illinois, but you still don't have the correct subscription to watch a Cubs game?

This will kill the sport if they don't figure this out

So I met this girl online 6 days ago. I made sure to do a couple video calls including a 2 hour one to make sure she's real.

She keeps telling me she loves me and she knows we're going to get married which is a massive red flag. But she still hasn't asked for money.

Then yesterday she doesn't message me back all day until the end of the day which is not normal and she says she hurt her foot and that's why she hadn't messaged me back. I seriously thought this was the moment she was going to ask for money and I would know she's a scammer.

But then, she didn't. She just said it was a bruise and she never said anything about going to the hospital.

I'm about 99% sure this is a romance scam and want to get it over and done with. I will not give her money no matter what. Do you guys have any advice as to speeding up this process so I can find out the truth now?

Also note: I'm from USA and she's from Algeria. We met on HelloTalk

I am just wondering why women will agree to go out with you if they don't want to? I have had this happen a few times where a woman will agree to meet up, and then just ghost me or cancel. I mean obviously, they just don't want to go out, and that's fine.

I do understand some women might get pressured to go out so they just agree but then just cancel. But I usually try to not pressure a woman. If she says no, I just say "Totally fine".

Even one woman I went out with once initiated a 2nd date and was the one making the plans to meet up. Then she canceled on me. I just don't understand that. It kind of wastes my time and energy. Even on the day we were supposed to meet up I said "It's ok if you can't meet up", and she said "No I want to meet up", but then later canceled. Like, why even make plans with me from the beginning if that's what you're going to do?

So Revelation says that Satan is a dragon:

>Revelation 12:9: And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world

Job 41 describes Leviathan as something that sounds like a dragon, with smoke going out of his nostrils, fire coming out of his mouth, coals aglow:

>Job 41: “Can you drag out Leviathan with a fishhook,
And press down his tongue with a rope?
18 His sneezes flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eye of dawn.
19 From his mouth go burning torches;
Sparks of fire leap forth.
20 From his nostrils smoke goes out
As from a boiling pot and burning reeds.
21 His breath sets coals aglow,
And a flame goes forth from his mouth.
34 He looks on everything that is high;
He is king over all the sons of pride.”

2 Samuel 22:7-17 describes YHWH / Lord / God, and it sounds very similar to Leviathan with smoke coming out of his nostrils, fire coming out of his mouth, and coals kindled by him, along with lightning:

>In my distress I called upon the Lord,
Yes, I called out to my God;
And from His temple He heard my voice,
And my cry for help came into His ears.
8 Then the earth shook and quaked,
The foundations of heaven were trembling
And were shaken, because He was angry.
9 Smoke went up \\\[g\\\]out of His nostrils,
And fire from His mouth was devouring;
Coals were kindled by it.
10 He also bowed the heavens down low, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.
...
13 From the brightness before Him
Coals of fire were kindled.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven,
And the Most High uttered His voice.
15 And He shot arrows and scattered them,
Lightning, and \\\[i\\\]routed them.

So my question is: How would you explain this similarity / description? I personally am starting to wonder if YHWH is Leviathan / Satan. But I'm searching for the truth. That's why I'm asking the question.

So my question is: How would you explain this similarity / description? I personally am starting to wonder if YHWH is Leviathan / Satan. But I'm searching for the truth. That's why I'm asking the question.

I read the Apocryphon of John (or Hidden book of John) and my initial feeling is that it's true. It seems to fill in the holes of the Bible quite nicely.

Here are some other things that it helped explain to me:

• It explains how Yaldabaoth / Yahweh was formed and how our world got here
• It helps explain why Yahweh / Yaldabaoth is super harsh and kills so many people
• It explains why Yahweh says he is a jealous god (in the Bible) because he knows that there is another God in reality
• It explains the serpent seed issue because clearly there is an issue with Cain's seed in the Bible, and it's because it actually came from Yaldabaoth having sex with Eve (as shown in the Apocryphon of John).
• It also explains the issue of the flood and the real reason why Yaldabaoth wanted to kill everyone (since they had the light and he was jealous), and also how Noah really was warned about it from the light and not from Yahweh.

However, I keep seeing people saying that there's too many red flags with it, but they haven't hardly provided me with good evidence.

Can anyone give me a specific example and use specific verses or passages from the Bible and Apocryphon of John to help show me what some of the red flags are?

So about 2 years ago I was told that if I get a CDL, then it would be really easy to find a job. I don't have hardly any experience driving manual so I just got a class A CDL with automatic restriction.

The only companies that would hire me were ones that required me to work on Saturdays, and at the time, I couldn't work Saturdays because of religious reasons. I know don't have those religious restrictions so I can work on Saturdays now.

So I'm just curious, how hard do you think it would be to get a job? I am open to OTR trucking and I know some companies will have some kind of contracting program where they train you first or something?

I started reading the Bible and Apocrypha about 1.5 years ago. I read it in horror as I saw YHWH being way too harsh and killing everyone. It made me wish I hadn't been born because I knew I couldn't live up to the standard YHWH wanted us to live by. When I came across the idea that YHWH was evil, it made perfect sense to me.

​

The Nag Hammadi seems to go in depth and explain more about who the God of this world really is (and how he's evil) and it seems to fill a lot of the holes nicely. But the truth is, I just started reading it.

​

So my question is: What is your experience reading it?

​

Have you read any of the Bible and / or Apocrypha as well?

​

Have you found the Nag Hammadi to be perfectly true? Or do you think there are a lot of flaws in it?

So I started taking about 200mg of Magnesium Glycinate per day and I noticed I had a lot more energy throughout the day. But I saw online that you're actually supposed to take closser to 500-1000 mg.

I kept upping the dosage. One night I noticed I only got like 3.5 hours of sleep and during the following day I took 500mg and I noticed I had energy all day.

I guess I'm just wondering if there's any potential side effects to this? I'm also wondering if maybe the fact that I have more energy proves that I really did have a magnesium deficiency.

I stopped taking it for about a week to let my body get normal rest. But I'm thinking of going back to just 200mg / day (100 in the morning, 100 at night). I guess I'm just wondering if there are side effects or not.
