Bible question: Which bits of the Old Testament still apply?
The bible is confusing... but thankfully this forum is frequented by many expert theologists who I'm sure can help me here. This is not a troll thread, I have an honest question on a matter which genuinely confuses me.

Around the World Gunboat Tournament EoG, Game 13
gameID=104130

Currently working on my EoG. The short version is that this game is a textbook example of how an unbelievably good start can get completely shut down by guessing wrong many, many times.

Draugnar is hosting a game...
So I just finished up my last active game and am looking to start another. I am recruiting players but reserve the right to exclude and pick and choose who they are.

Anon or not is up for grabs. Buy in is 170 D and the game will be WTA full press. Chime in if your interested and anon versus non preference or requirements.

I just graduated college and have a job
After hearing I got accepted for the position, I find two omens
1) Our rose bush bloomed a dozen roses. Never has this bush given us more than one flower since we moved in years ago
2) I find the first ever dead rotting bird in our yard.
How do I read this??

That someone sprayed pesticides over your yard that kept your rosebush alive but killed a bird that hangs out there.

Omens do not exist beyond whatever meanings our minds create.

The reality is you got a job right after graduation. That's a real achievement these days. Now go get those dolla dolla bills and stop reading into dead birds like some paranoid Roman emperor.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

And rose bushes. Don't forget the bushes.

Although I didn't have anything to do with the bird death. I think it was the bush. Maybe the bush gave me the job in exchange for the job.

Clearly you're supposed to set that bush ablaze...

Burning Bushes help make sense of EVERYTHING.

im a plant nerd so with enough info i could figure out why the bush bloomed so much but im no expert and i doubt thats what you want but if it is i can ask the questions i think would explain it


as for the bird possible reasons that come to mind are 1( cats 2( chemicals/ingested poisonous materials 3(random chance and depending on where it was found it could have hit the house or a window they usually dont hit anything but windows but i have seen them hit houses/walls

Birds go places. Rose bushes stay put. I believe the omen is not to move around, even though you now have the freedom to do so.

Alternatively, rose bushes stay put, and so do dead birds, so stay put.

The answer is, you're still dreaming. In reality, there is no bloom, no dead bird, and no job. Wake up and enter your moves, the phase is about to end.
Tru Ninja (1016 D(S))

LOL Love it, THM.

@Mujus, I meant "maybe the bush gave me the job in exchange for the bird."

The dead bird represents your wrong life choices how you can now longer soar and reach your potential of becoming a Ninja master. Your dreams are now dead.
This can be seen by the commemorative roses.

There is no cake ...er... job. The cake ...er... job is a lie. Just ask obiwanobiwan who never even made it to his first day of work before getting canned (you gotta be a fuck up to get fired before you even started).

@Minty: mmm, I don't think that's it. I'm pretty ninja. It would take a ninja to stop something like that from happening.

@Draug: LOL! I knew a girl years a go who had a dream to get a job working at Spencers in the mall. She finally got a job there and was fired within 2 weeks. Sounds like she's in the same boat.

Oh, Arizona...There's Just No END To Your Minority-Attacking Antics!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-21870064 Aaaaand on today's episode of "Arizona Gone Insane," the state legislature, led by GOP lawmaker John Kavanagh, is pushing for a bill that would require transgendered individuals to show their ID before using a public restroom. "For a handful of people to make everyone else uncomfortable just makes no sense," said Kavanagh. Terribly sorry that protecting minority rights makes Mr. Kavanagh "uncomfortable."

WTA, No messaging, Anonymous Game
Russia and Turkey both left the game and Austria is expanding quickly. I feel in a Winner Takes All match, it is unfair for a player to win because the biggest contenders to a country left. It is like Germany and France leaving with a player as England. Turkey and Russia both have 3 SCs.
