@El'endiaStarman Isn't your date this summer?
 
@LeeWoofenden Oh, interesting. Didn't realize they made it all the way out west, but why not.
 
@fredsbend Actually, it'll be next spring.
 
4:04 AM
@El'endiaStarman Goodness, that's a long engagement.
 
4:27 AM
@fredsbend Yeah. We both wanted to have stable jobs before planning a budget.

@El'endiaStarman I definitely recommend a small cheap wedding and a 10-day amazing honeymoon.
 
6:49 AM
Just flagged a commend and it disappeared before my eyes! Never had that happen before.
@El'endiaStarman I can highly recommend the app YNAB (except that they changed from a one-off purchase to a subscription model). It is extremely helpful for us keeping to our budget

@curiousdannii What kind of budget? Is it a general purpose app?
 
12:15 PM
@El'endiaStarman Personal/family. Though I guess it could probably also be used for small businesses
 
Hmm. I've actually already started making a budget website for myself... :P
 
12:34 PM
@El'endiaStarman The original version of YNAB was actually just a spreadsheet you could purchase.
We love it, mostly because it transparently syncs between our phones and our laptops.
 
@curiousdannii That's basically why I decided to make a website. I'd be able to access it from any device.

@Nathaniel I doubt the comment would have triggered any SE blacklists, so I'd expect instead that 2? other people had also flagged it?
 
@curiousdannii Actually it had a variation of the word "accept" in it, so your flag took care of it.
 
@Nathaniel oh! I thought you were just linking me to the fact that certain words lower the thresholds.

I have looked around the site for related questions, and I found some good contextual information for Corinthians, but why does Paul say that women must be under men in Timothy, as well as they must be silent?
 
4:48 PM
@Piomicron There are conflicting views on that - both in interpretation and application. Did you find the following questions?
11
Q: How can women be forbidden to speak and yet prophesy and speak in tongues?

aceintheholeIn 1 Corinthians 14, Paul give forbids women from speaking in church. 1 Corinthians 14 NIV 34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husb...

16
Q: Should women give sermons?

Nok from Ghana "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1 Corinthi...

Q: Why don't many churches obey Paul's command that women must be silent in church?

Jonathan.In 1 Corinthians 14 Paul says that women must be silent in churches and ask questions to their husbands when they get home: Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they shou...

@Mr.Bultitude I appreciate this nuanced take on the politics and sociology of this past election season. I especially appreciate the fact that I now know that conservatives generally fall into three camps; that'll help me understand arguments and ideas I come across in the future.
 
7:58 PM
@El'endiaStarman Thanks. Yeah, that taxonomy was new to me as well, but I think it has a lot of explanatory power.

@El'endiaStarman and @curiousdannii Unless it offers some kind of speedboat features, I favor a spreadsheet of my own design, which I can easily manage on Google docs.
 
Speedboat being features like...?
 
Well, you know, double props, open bow, etc.
It was an auto correct. Should have been "special".
 
Ah, lolz.
 
9:48 PM
@Mr.Bultitude I haven't read your whole post yet because I keep getting hung up on you using the word phenomenon to describe Trump's support and win in the election.
I don't think there was anything particularly unique about his level of support or his win (in relation to the fact that he's very different). it's happened before and I bet it'll happen again too.
So far, I'm not sure I buy "authoritarian conservatism" as a real thing either.
There's plenty of "obedient liberals" too, they just frame it in different terms especially focusing on "social morality".
They both argue that "do the right thing" is the most important point. Naturally, they argue on whatever the right thing actually is. But they both follow a laid out ideology all the same.
Okay, back to the article now.
I think you hit it with populism. The politics of ancient Rome is filed with populism. Very interesting how people rose to and fell from power in that environment.
> Surprise! Turns out there are authoritarians in both parties, and they largely fell in line after the primaries.
And that's why I stopped talking when I did. This has happened more than once to me. I start commenting on a post before I've read the whole thing only to find that our conclusions are the same.

@fredsbend Sometimes when that happens I think it's more the fault of the post than the commenter. I may revise the post to reflect that Stenner is pretty clear in believing that authoritarianism is not properly considered a form of conservatism.
@fredsbend I think populism might be a good explanation of Trump's rise in the primaries, but fails as an explanation of his general election victory.
@fredsbend Maybe I'll revise that part too. But it makes sense to me to call it that given how surprised most people were. Even if the conclusion is, partly, that his support wasn't that unremarkable, that conclusion is still an explanation of what was previously a mystery.
