GET SAVED: Thread: Are you SAVED from DAMNATION?

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." -- Galatians 5:14-26

Re: EBT card not working
And don't anyone of you steaming piles of useless shit tell me you can't survive without food stamps. I am eligible for food stamps, but I don't apply for them, and I never will. I'm the only working parent in a house of 4. I can feed all my kids and pay my bills with a shitty entry level job. Why?

Because a sack of potatoes only costs 3 bucks, rice is even cheaper, Chicken is cheap as shit as well. The only reason you stupid bastards think you can't afford to live is because you stuff your fat asses with pre-packaged food that is expensive as hell.

But then, No one expects your lazy asses to get up and make something without the use of a microwave. After all, you are too stupid and lazy to get a job and make something of yourself, how in the hell could you be expected to make a decent fucking meal for yourself or your kids?

And don't go fucking harpin' at me about how bad you got it. One of my children is special needs with medical bills out the wazoo, do you see me bitching about how bad I've got it?

Take the shrink-wrap off your testicles and make a life for yourself, instead of ruining everyone elses.

Rice, beans, pasta, sugar, salt, wheat, oats, all last forever. Flours last at least 10 years. Canned goods that are not acidic (i.e. tomatoes) 5+ years - acidic that is in plastic lined cans should be used in 18 months or less, glass jars 5+ years.

To anyone affected, go to your local food bank. What they give you will depend on what they have in stock. If you have children, they will hook you up pretty good with what you need.

lol... I'm not the guy getting dropped.
I worked very hard to make sure of that.

Perhaps others should do that too
 Quoting: RelentlessDespot


I work my butt off and have high work ethics, always on-time, and never call in sick etc. but because the manager made some mistakes on policies and got caught and so then blamed it on the employees he then fired them.

You must realize that no matter how hard you work you can still get fired or laid off because ultimately the reason you have a job is not because you work hard but because they want to keep you around and can change their mind at any time.

That is real life and it sounds like you have yet to learn this
 Quoting: Veresanctus


You are a moron to think I am not learned. I've been working for quite a long time. I've run across stupid bosses many many time. Truly a pain in the ass.
What did I do?

Act like a stupid bitch and spend every moment complaining?
Yeah, could do that, and have at times when I was young.

Or...

I moved.. the.. fuck along.
I took charge of me. Why waste your time with an ill-run pos company?

Why waste time blaming some moron for my fucking inability to move.. the.. fuck along???

Yeah.. not fucking likely.
I have testicles.. admittedly small but they appear to work.
 Quoting: RelentlessDespot


Lol! You idiot, no one was complaining and no one is. Act all high and mighty now, but YOU TOO rely on the government. Let's see you talk big when the dollar crashes and all that paper money that you so called claim to have "worked hard" for, is completely USELESS!!!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48266877


No one is complaining???
Shall I direct you towards this little website called twitter.. Do a search for EBT or foodstamps and just sit back and relax as all the not whining happens infornt of you.

I will not be "talking big" when the dollar collapses. I will be quite happy residing at my bug out location. Fishing.. Hunting.. Teaching my kids to do the same.

Your attitude is what will be your doom in that event.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Re: EBT card not working
"Power failure" = Assuming a real fair-quality data center, multiple power sources from multiple utility companies all failed at once, the battery back up for the power supplies failed, and the diesel, natural gas, etc backup generator system failed. Plus, they didn't bother putting the backup network of servers in a geographically different data center.

Most likely a cascade failure. Bunch of web servers and computers plugged into "redundant" power circuits "A" and "B", drawing too much power, more than 40% of the "maximum" power from each. No problem? When either A or B fails, all the power has to come from the other, which is now at >80% of the maximum, the "derated" maximum at which data center alarms go off and circuit breakers operate. So all the "redundantly powered" servers are dead. If some on either A or B used circuit C as their second power instead it can go too, and so on.

Variations: the computers were already using more than the battery back up or backup utility or generator could provide.

Why? Someone was cheap. They installed too many servers for the power. Cheap penny pinching manager decided backup power or backup servers wouldn't have to be as powerful or better than the main ones - it's just the backup, after all, it isn't even going to be running! Well, almost never. So they just can't bring themselves not to buy cheaper, and it fails the first real test because overloading is what breaks the main resources in the first place.

What "test"? One way of overloading being knowing the servers will all actually be using only a small part of their power and power consumption at any one time. It should average out over servers. Especially, those darn backup servers shouldn't be busy. Unless, you decide to tell all the servers at the same time to run at 100% doing a "Software update".

If you were dumb enough to upgrade the backup servers at the same time, and the power went, all the servers could have to be rebuilt from some sort of backups. If internal power infrastructure blew up, the "upgrades" could take days to replace.

No conspiracy here. Just standard incompetence. OTOH it might take several days to fix.

God gave you two perfect mammories for that.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25034892

Some mothers are not able to nurse due to medical reasons or because of medications they take. Also, some babies are born that won't take a mother's milk so the mother is given a shot to make her stop producing milk since the baby won't be using it anyway. It's pretty painful to produce milk and not have it get used.

She said it started this morning.. and was spreading all over.. also wic cards/food stamp cards/ and ebts card. apparently there's different cards for each of these things..

Point being theres certain amount loaded on those cards.. and it's either there or it not! Feel very bad for these people.. ever what you think of the program... Is not the point.. There's going to be hungry kids going to bed tonight!

Shut the damn White House down!!! Send all those chefs and house keepers home!

Re: EBT card not working
I hope all the EBT cockroaches suffer. I lost my job back at the beginning of the year and needed foodstamps pretty bad before I found a job again.
Fuckers turned my ass down three times because I am a full-time student.
But they will give them to iPhone wielding, Jordan wearing, crack snorting shitbags.

Re: EBT card not working
I have heard from several sources in Georgia. EBT cards aren't working. Is anyone else having trouble?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48191257


I don't have a card, but I was behind someone at the grocery store a couple of days ago, and his card didn't work. He told the cashier that he was supposed to have funds on it (don't remember how much) but it still didn't work when he swiped it through again/

I wondered at the time if they had quit working, but hadn't heard anything about them being discontinued. If they've shut EBT down, it's going to be hard on a lot of people around here.

GET SAVED: Thread: Are you SAVED from DAMNATION?

"For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another." -- Galatians 5:14-26

And what if you lost it tomorrow? plenty of managers are getting rid of people just to save their own rears.

lol... I'm not the guy getting dropped.
I worked very hard to make sure of that.

Perhaps others should do that too

Wow. You are ignorant. ! It's not anything you are doing that's for sure. Layoffs happen across all company's to great workers. Some of the highest quality people get laid off daily. You need to pull your arrogant head out of your ass
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5144386


Yes my company did a mass layoff in 2009. Why didn't I get layed off I wonder???
I'm sure it was just luck.. Yeah.. luck
